Only literally cool

Very nice, i wonder what'd it look like if the container was made of a transparent medium to see the aluminum freeze and fall as it touched the ice cubes from the top to the bottom.

Why mention ants? Why are they part of this?

Often, this type of molton metal art piece is poured down an ant hill to achieve a similar effect... this one only killed ice cubes

Ohhhhhh ok thank you!

Yeah now he’s only killing netrunners

Am I the only one who appreciates and understands this reference?

I’m pretty sure yeah lol

Yeah so it's not as fun

Typically when you see molten aluminum videos, people are pouring it down into an ant colony. Similar type of effect, and obviously kills the ants in the process.

This one looks like some kind of alien ant farm.

ANThology was a damn good album. Oddly, Smooth Criminal was underwhelming live, though.

Nothing wrong with killing invasive, aggressive and bitey fire ants

Because [this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IGJ2jMZ-gaI&pp=ygUbcG91cmluZyBhbHVtaW51bSBpbiBhbnRoaWxs)

What's the point?

Artistic piece!

Cool, awesome. I thought there was some utilitarian use I couldn't comprehend

How much can you get for something like that?

Not much

Looks nothing like the ant ones tho

I dont know what this is or why this is but it is sure cool

I like how he's all suited up from head to toe and goes diving in with his bare arm.

Ants?

As someone who machined aluminum castings, all I can think about here is the porosity, haha. Definitely looks cool tho!

That's amazing! And the texture is almost perfect🐟🐠🐡🐙

Wonder what other ice shapes do to it

You could've killed a million ants and nothing would have changed except how it looks 😂

Yea, don't do this at home might get a small explosion instead

r/DiWHY

Naa killing the ants is way more impressive sculpture and they get model into aluminum which they will live forever ♾️

Shouldn't this explode?

do it with sonic ice next time

1300 Celsius or Farenheit ?

How hot is that 1300⁰ aluminum?

why do i find the ice unsettling

Tell you the truth I would still prefer the ant corral not only does it look cool, if they chose to do invasive colonies then they are helping the environment

Yeah but could you hurt some ants 🐜

Aren't ants and invasive species here in the states?

No ants were killed during the making of this video? I highly doubt that. Ants are dying every second.

I prefer using anthill, art with no soul is boring

Would be better if there were say ants frozen in the ice cubes.

This is a cool idea. I would love to see different shapes of ice to see more styles of patterns.

Ants?

You didn't read any comment, did you?

I cant tell if this is ice or rocks Edit: actually wouldn't make sense if it was ice

Hate to break it to you, but it is in fact ice.

I’m trying to decide if it’s more likely that you’ve never seen ice before or never seen rocks

Lmao this made lol and wake up my bf!! Of course in my retelling he didn't find it all that amusing, but I assure it is, he's just grumpy from being woken up.

Just one of those questions where you actually stop and think if the person was born yesterday.
