- wessorh 9y agois there a link that is ad-blocker friendly? Would appreciate content that was available.
- fake-name 9y agoThe video of him burning it on youtube is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jxRnodaKzE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jxRnodaKzE Also, umatrix seems to make the page load fine.
- mc32 9y agoYup, I had no problem. Spoiler: he does light the sphere on fire. Surprisingly relatively slow burn.
- 5555624 9y agoWhile I realize it technically needs a spoiler, what else would you do with it once you were done, other than light it on fire? It's too dangerous to just leave sitting around inside a house or garage.
- fake-name 9y agoIf they're strike anywhere matches, catapult it! I guess that'd end in it on fire too, but it'd be more fun?
- JohnJamesRambo 9y agoIt's kind of sad to watch obsessive compulsive disorder get out of hand like this.
- esturk 9y agoI think that's pretty cool. Its literally a fireball. Albeit a little different from I imagined but still cool.
- tobr 9y agoWatching that thing in flames makes me think it must’ve been exceptionally dangerous to work on it in a metal shop. Having it catch fire inside would have been disastrous.
- tzs 9y agoToo bad he mounted it on a fixed pole before lighting it. I would have liked to see it hanging from a wire, so that it could move in response to the gases ejected by the fire.
- girzel 9y agoLooks like some sort of Star-Wars-style planet-destroying ray has been used on the sphere. Weird things happen after the initial burn passes, too -- the play of smoke on the surface is pretty interesting.
- _nalply 9y agoPerhaps if the sphere were cracked open, there might have been a flashover. The grey smoke billowing after the matched burned out looked suspicious.
- bmcusick 9y agoThese Amazon contest ads are getting out of hand. The story is unreadable on mobile.
- kapauldo 9y agoGet dns66 it's awesome
- BrandoElFollito 9y agoI watched his video on a terrible connection as a tribute. The fact that he set the ball on fire in the outskirts of some forest was philosophically disturbing.
