What Happens if You Put Your Hand in a Garbage Disposal?

remember when you were nine and really dumb your parents wouldn't let you vote or stick your hand into the hole in the sink you know what i'm talking about the scary hole the little rubber lips on it when you hit the switch to turn it on why does the left switch turn the right light on and the right switch turn the left light on and then you know when stuff would fall in there like a spoon how do i get it out i have to stick my hand in there there's a picture on the internet in the old days that what i'm doing reminds me what happens if you stick your hand in the garbage disposal and your sibling comes along and they go to turn the light switch on but the electrician who did this was a high school dropout they accidentally turned the garbage disposal on when you were digging for your spoon in there okay oh my god it's so much worse than i thought it would be i've seen a video like this once for these kids it's a great video to show kids other kids playing with a pipe bomb and one of them blows his hand off i don't mean it's a good video with a fun video it's a very good video to put ideas into your kids heads of don't play with bombs that's what his wrists look like i just remember the guy running in the video it literally looked like spaghetti this is kind of more like what's a bigger wider noodle like linguine did we get the cheap one because i want to cut it open i want to put like a window one horsepower all right let's get this got our garbage disposal we got our crock-pot what's the crock-pot for to melt the ballistics gel that we're going to use to make our hand we 3d printed i can't hold it without it doing like this is my good hand this is 3d printed bones i would love to wear your skin lady any fresh boogies you have any fresh boogies we're going to cast this into a ballistics gel mold of my hand we need ballistics gel though so i've asked my friend and a failed mythbuster alan pand to give me some of his and he's outside right now you want to come on in allen that's your cue just like just yeet it in take out all of your aggressions on me right now give me a solid punch oh yes chelsea you can buy a torso yeah this is not alan's body they they don't sell a ballistic shell dummy with enough boy look at all this stuff we don't need trash this is why i have death cables it's because of crap like this a death cable is sort of like an act of desperation something that you have needs power but there's no cable attached to it so what you do is you take an extension cord you cut one end off and that way you can plug it into the wall and then wire the wires to the wires only issue is now you've got this extension cord laying around which somebody might not realize is a depth cable and they plug it in and the two ends touch and they're pulling more power than every single appliance in your house combined for just a split second till the breaker trips wires melt or something catches on fire and you die i am an educational channel and if i don't if if i don't teach if i don't if i don't [Laughter] and now you know why you don't cut the end of a cable off unless you know what you're doing like me okay now we can investigate how it actually works if you think garbage disposals work like blenders with blades you're so stupid you stupid idiot just kidding i thought so too until i took one apart a couple years ago because i was trying to make industrial amounts of salsa a garbage disposal works more like a cheese grater than a blender a motor spins the center disc around which forces food to the outer edge and these little flaps grind food against this metal grating ring everything drains through the great ring and exits out through this pipe on the side we've got it already and fellow scientists mr bone's here to help aw gee william thanks for having me i love science so much in fact on facebook i follow every single i love science page and an andy max page well that's not very scientific of you mr bones my mom vaccinated me as a kid look at me now i'm just a skeleton i'd say that's pretty good proof if you ask me you're an idiot have you learned your lesson mr bones yeah i'm sorry about that i i went ahead and unfollowed the anti-vaccination page now i only follow ilo science and a flat earth page alan i need a new guest host you want to fill in for mr bones you got your goggles on alan i've got my my face is safe as you guys know safety is number one priority around here so uh safety glasses just like let it rip and see what happens that's way too quiet it makes me feel okay with putting my finger yeah i kind of want to now the carrot is pretty close to a finger it's got some rigidity it's got some orange oh oh my gosh oh you don't want to and it was at this very moment i realized we weren't going to see anything interesting without a high speed camera i donned the closest thing i had to a lab coat my name's chef and called in the big gun we called in the big guns we tried using our cell phone cameras to film this thing basically it's just a blur this is buddy bleckley he owns the high-speed phantom camera we used for the tungsten cube video some lights that he made himself that are probably gonna catch on fire ah jeez it might not be the newest camera in the phantom lineup but it can record thousands of frames a second full hd this is like crappy since i can't stick a real human hand in it without going to the hospital or jail let's test a variety of food with similar properties to human flesh you got skin ligaments and bone in your fingers and it's going to be hard to recreate them all at the same time hopefully we can get a good idea of what would actually happen to a real hand by trying a bunch of different properties first let's start with a grip not much similar to a finger but i just thought it'd be funny for a second there and then it just disappeared doesn't really actually do much until it gets like pushed into the grate once it grabs some meat it's done because right now it's just a beach ball oh there's that's where it starts oh no they mush it against the grave this thing is going to take your fingers roll them off it's going to be violent all right let's stick something else in there i'm ready oh if you can somehow keep your finger perfectly in the middle i would rather stick my finger in a wall outlet than into a garbage disposal oh there yeah now it's avalanche yeah and then oh it's not blending it it's shredding carrots feel like a quick and dirty finger analog they're firm and tough only lacking the skin or the strength of bone we're gonna put a banana in there now three two one oh my god that sounded so oh oh my gosh is that banana you're going full force here oh right away this knocks the stem oh no you try to imagine that the banana peel is a skin bananas have an incredibly tough fibrous skin which will withstand abrasion better than a carrot but you can still see the skin isn't being cut it's just being torn apart if you open a banana with a garbage disposal you don't get little strings in it what do you think ginger tastes like uh probably a lot like um fat ah it's so spicy wow that was like a thousand onions caretaker let it rip it's gonna be solid oh no it's just grated ginger is really robust for the garbage disposal it's tough and fibrous which stops it from bouncing around it seems like being squishy is a bad thing if you're in a garbage disposal because you get caught and then shredded let's put the hot dogs in a glove this is so much weirder than i thought it was gonna be alan just massage it the fact that we're working together to do it makes it so much worse our hands are touching right now just gotta really force it what if we do this it felt it came out you're making it worse this is much more this is much much worse the air just like hot dogs it didn't cut the glove but it mangled the fingers inside underneath the skin the meat is absolutely crushed i have a feeling that's exactly what it would sound like if you stuck your hand in there it's separated and pulverized beyond a certain point oh dude you see what i'm saying it's like twisting the fingers off this is awful hot dogs by themselves not a good substitution but hot dogs in a glove are an excellent representation of skin and flesh perfect for a science experiment or to feel what it's like to hold hands with another human being this is a saw movie trap well that's disgusting let's stick more stuff in there we left this chicken out for like a couple hours yesterday and it smells bad but he said he beat the crap out of me if we got stinky chicken on his high speed camera so we covered the garbage disposal with plexiglass and plastic wrap all right don't touch my hand with it yeah all right here goes something gross three two one oh my god it completely like that looks like a cartoon like when a guy like a cartoon guy's arm gets cut off okay what cartoons are you watching alan you know anime [Laughter] so somehow it like the cut looks pretty clean on this oh surprisingly i don't think the chicken is a good representation of a finger the bone is way thicker and there's no joints however i'm pretty sure i now know how they make chicken nuggets just little chunks of meat well as a professional scientist and chef i think that it's going to completely mangle the hand i should probably show you how he made the hand hey making videos is hard i filmed all this good stuff and feel bad deleting it no don't you touch that don't you okay okay undelete it i will shorten it down we got our bones we got our alginate powder i got a spoon with holes in it look at that you see the holes doesn't matter things are about to get crazy [Music] it's coming i birthed it hey that's not bad look at that that looks so good i know right this is like as good as you could possibly hope that's like perfect she hates it yeah it's a good kid doesn't like it is there like raw i'm just afraid that there's raw chicken everywhere how flexible it is like they could just be bouncing off the blades until one of them gets unlucky then it's gonna like catch the fingertip and just like rip it off i think there's gonna be a lot of ripping oh i see him bouncing out dude it totally survived i told you it's just knocking them around did anything happen in his stupid hat starting so there's that sort of twisting action that we saw with the hotdog glove oh no oh wow he's just trying really hard to tell the lies they're really they're really bouncing around alan like i knew they would wiggle but not like wrapping around all the other fingers twisting so much we're gonna do a full stand on that one one more time full stand i feel like we've got kind of a history of not doing a full send it's still okay there's some fingertip bones that have been ripped out that would not be a good thing to see on a real hand okay i think we're starting to learn that ballistics gel is actually you know equivalent to human flesh is totally ba i just rammed it in i think we pushed the ballistics gel use case a little too far this stuff is meant to absorb energy like flesh wood with a bullet traveling through not mimicking every structural property of human meat but look at the disc knocking chunks of bone out bones are really strong which is actually causing all the problems if you suck just rubber in the garbage disposal it would bounce around the bones are fighting back which is causing them to break more chunks of came out there oh god you just injected like elasticity of this skin doesn't really represent what ballistics gel is meant for yeah you're supposed to shoot it yeah ballistics gel supposed to absorb energy from a projectile not represent how tough skin is this is the part of the video where you have to come up with a conclusion but like we can pretty much assume that human fingers have a really good combination of squishiness and stiffness to get absolutely wrecked in a running garbage disposal um honest sometimes i feel like the video should just end thank you to simply say for sponsoring this video i'm the kind of guy who waits for the garage door to close completely i lock my car 13 times as i walk away from it caretaker she can't sleep at night if there's noise simply safe is a security system with 24 7 monitoring for only 50 cents a day they'll contact the police if they see suspicious activity i tried going the traditional route of a guard animal what a mistake there's all sorts of security features you can choose from from door alarms windows alarm moisture freeze there's a whole variety and the best part is you can set it up yourself in under an hour you can do this i believe in you how does it work you set up the base station and then you set up all the sensors within a 400 foot range if you live in a house that's bigger than 400 feet you probably can afford private armed security guards thank you to simplisafe for sponsoring

The first picture on the left out of context should be a format

TIL people have garbage disposal units installed under their sinks.

What was the death cable for? Was it to plug in the disposal? Every garbage disposal I have ever owned have a power cord already because it makes them easier to replace and it can act as an added safety feature (you can unplug the disposal before reaching in, like a makeshift lockout tagout)
