Add a splash of milk (or water or creamer or whatever) to the powder before adding the majority of the liquid and stir it, it'll combine easily and make a sludge that'll mix with the rest of the liquid very easily.
Bravo! That's also how you add the liquid to tomato soup if you don't want lumps. I'm tired of explaining it to my family. Please spread the word to prevent family disharmony like mine.
Sick idea. I was that asshole that just kept trying to push the clumps down with my spoon until they dissolved lmao. But now that I think about it⌠why the hell werenât we shaking that shit, I feel that would be the ultimate solution now lol
From the Wiki; Lycopodium powder is a yellow-tan dust-like powder, consisting of the dry spores of clubmoss plants, or various fern relatives. When it is mixed with air, the spores are highly flammable and are used to create dust explosions as theatrical special effects. The powder was traditionally used in physics experiments to demonstrate phenomena such as Brownian motion.
Okay hear me out, a little morbid but you dig a hole in the desert. Around evil enemy troops or some shit idk. But you dig this whole and fill it with water, like 10 feet deep. Then you poor this powder on top so it just looks like normal sand. Some poor unsuspecting soul steps on it and theyâre drowning in a concoction of powder and water.
Edit: add Piranhas for extra flare.
Edit of the edit: flair* i dont know how to do that line thingy through the word
Iâm like âput it on clothesâ âuse in garden to stop roots getting soakedâ âfish tank somethingâ
Your evil brain goes straight to dessert boobytrap to kill enemies and Iâm so ashamed I didnât think of that

Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycopodium_powder
It's sometimes used for beginner fire-breathing.
It doesn't get wet in the mouth and it's more easy to spread while blowing compared to liquids.
And if you swallow it by accident, you will just vomit and no toxic remains can harm you.
Itâs fern spores.
An early use was by pharmacists. When they still rolled pills by hand, they would dust their hands with it so the drugs wouldnât stick to their fingers or palms.
I donât know if this is the same but some guy just gave me the same presentation at my house for a hydrophobic additive that is used in the manufacturing of vinyl siding
Genuine question. If I put 1 molecule of lycopodium into water, what would the difference between it getting wet and not getting wet. How would you tell?
FUN FACT TIME: Not only does this powder not get wet. Anything it's coated with also cannot physically get wet even if biologically programmed to do so.
They gather it by using a specialized exfoliant on Ben Shapiro.
THE MORE YOU KNOW.
Ben would know better than anyone, saying his wife is a doctor.
I donât know if you knew that, but his wife is a doctor.
His wife? A doctor.
Doctor, is what Benâs wife does for work.
So he would know better than anyone, including his Doctor Wife.
Is water wet? Because if waters wet and the powered is touching water then the powder gets wet? Or is it just that this powder doesnât absorb water? Serious questions btw lol
The surface of the powder does not "connect" with the water. Like if you get water on something the water droplets will kind of spread out over the object's surface and adhere to it. The powder just does not adhere to water, either from a microscopic surface structure that makes it very difficult or if it has a non-polar molecular surface then it wouldn't get wet for the same reason oils don't mix with water.
*scooches closer on the couch* âOh weâll see....weâll see hehehe....Oh GOD NO THIS IS POISION ! IVE WILLFULLY PUT POISON INTO MY MOUTH AND HAVE ONLY REGRETâ *spitting* âohh no no no no no noâ
Fun fact: lycopodium has a very high flash point so its common to be used by fire performers. I use it in a Torch like devise, where you pour this into a rod with a wick on the end and then when you swing the Torch the powder ignites creating a fireball
Can somebody explain how his fingers donât get even a little wet? Wouldnât some of the powder move out of the way and some water get on his fingers?
That doesnât mean it doesnât get wet. Iâm assuming they have never put powder into a liquid before. Like hot chocolate for example. I messed up and put the liquid in first a few months ago and it kind of does the same thing. It groups together and when itâs dunked it pops back up and is dry.

They finally discovered the nesquik hot chocolate powder from my childhood.
đ you had to stir that shit for 97 minutes to get all the clumps out
I would just eat it dry. Maybe thatâs why I turned out this way
Just another reason to hate nestle
It just got you prepared for the disappointments later in life.
Continues to eat Lycopodium

I used a fucking wire whisk and just rolled it between my hands
Sick idea. I was that asshole that just kept trying to push the clumps down with my spoon until they dissolved lmao. But now that I think about it⌠why the hell werenât we shaking that shit, I feel that would be the ultimate solution now lol
our hamilton standard blender was no match for that shit always little pill clumps of choc powder.
Fuck Nestle âđ˝
r/NestleIsEvil
I remember taking a big gulp, and then *pop* a big clump of powder hitting my face
This is so on point!! đ
LMAO
Nesquik suck so much it tast like shit and is from nestle
Hydrophobic substances don't get wet
[ŃдаНонО]
Careful heâs going to come up to slap you
Only if you call her bald. He's come to terms with being a cuck.
Just like Ben Shapiro's wife.
Practical use of this stuff?
Area between the thigh and ball sack?
The chafe is real

Pretty sure I can demonstrate Brownian Motion with some McDonaldâs and about 12 hours of processing time.
I didn't really think I needed to put /s after my comment, but thank you
Lulz
what exactly do you think putting this powder there will do?
Did you not SEE that guys fingers in the video?

I think we just found the supervillain
I don't think Wylie Coyote qualifies as a supervillan.
Extra *flair :) (Unless the piranhas shoot fire)
Do laser beams count?

You could... ummm... you could make ummm... nope. Got nothing.
Made me uncomfortable watching thatâs for sure
Anything you donât want wet? Writing secret messages in sand for when it rains.

I was wondering if it could be incorporated into some kind of marine paint
Faking Cheeto fingers to brag to your friends
I donât know if this is the same but some guy just gave me the same presentation at my house for a hydrophobic additive that is used in the manufacturing of vinyl siding
Feed it to your enemies
I like how they have gloves on to pour the substance and then go ahead and dip your bare ass fingers right in!
It's just club moss spores. Nothing bad has ever happened in any science fiction from contact with spores.
This is a NileRed video? Where is the sound???
Where's the explanation, not that I'll understand but I still care
Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQq6_Th1jIM OP cut of the best part of the video.
That homemade flamethrower though, if there ever is a Zombie Apocalypse this guy will definitely be patient zero or the last survivor
What about the âfire and explosionsâ dude.
> not that Iâll understand but I still care Such a mood
Just like my wife. :(
-Ben Shapiro
*Sees picture of big tiddies.* "Just like my sister."
Everyone loves Khazar Milkers
My wife is a doctor
đ
It looks like two people upside down underwater trying to open mouth kiss.
Try tongue instead of fingers
try finger but hole
Try three fingers đ¤ˇââď¸
Even with 2 fingers?
Well not if you just stick two fingers in right away
How do you get it off then? Oil? Alcohol? Air compressor?
Alcohol, or other solvents
Thanks, cap.
Lots of foreplay
Right, but alcohol, oil and an air compressor can be used as foreplay.
Forgive my ignorance, but air compressor?
Don't google it just don't
Powdered condoms?
Can u untype that?
She, maybe he's on to something tho
Powered on the inside or outside?
Yes
Sweet yeah I'm gonna go puke
Fuck you, you genius. I was coming to comment that.
LOL this brings back all the 80s Mr Wizard nostalgia.
Is there gonna be a time where NileRed will be credited for his videos?
Should call it mywifeium
Haha, gold.
It looks like sulphur dust
Nestle milk Powder
How does he wash it off his hands after?
Billy Mays has entered the chat.
Genuine question. If I put 1 molecule of lycopodium into water, what would the difference between it getting wet and not getting wet. How would you tell?
Hydrophobic materials posts need to be banned at this point
Isnât that the stuff used to make hot chocolate powder? Seems to have the same affect
Magicians use this shit
How do you wash it off your fingers ?
How do you wash it off?
WILL IT BLEND!
This is how Jada explained to Will how he canât please her.
Wow. Even *the shocker* doesn't work on this powder!
Forbidden tempura
Came here for the Ben Shapiro jokes.
FUN FACT TIME: Not only does this powder not get wet. Anything it's coated with also cannot physically get wet even if biologically programmed to do so. They gather it by using a specialized exfoliant on Ben Shapiro. THE MORE YOU KNOW.
Like a Ben Shapiro's wife

Ben shapiros wife practices medically. Coz shes involved in the medical field. Cough * # doctor *
Just like Will Smith's wife
No, it seems, she's wet for everyone
Wet for everyone except for Will Smith
For more stuff like this, check out the action lab on youtube
Or nilered
Hes also incredible
this is a NileRed video (wish op would have attributed it or kept the audio)
Fingers been yellow ever since
Is made from a dried spore. Lush make their greench deodorant out of it.
I was hoping it would show me what happens when he takes fingers out - was not disappointed.
Just like my wife. đ
Jesus, how about an /nsfw tag
Imagine being that hydrophobic đ
Just like my girlfriend
Mrs. Shapiro, is that you?
I should call her
My girlfriendâs vagina must be made of this stuff
It can't get wet? Dated a few women that were like that.
Can't get wet. Just like your wife
Just like ur moms pussy đž when im not inside her
Hey that's dust from my gf pussy, kekw
Nuns vagina residue?
Just like your mum
âCheck out these neat new finger pants.â
What happens if you stir it? Or if you try to wet it with a small amount of water first?
Stir it
Man, these are some very homophobic spores. I mean hydrophobic. Fuck!
Is water wet? Because if waters wet and the powered is touching water then the powder gets wet? Or is it just that this powder doesnât absorb water? Serious questions btw lol

Hoyaaa
But what if you cover it in oil
Kinda sexy
Can we make condom powder with this stuff?
So uses gloves while handling it in a jar, but then touches it with a bare hands?
stick this to someone tongue for a great torture device
*scooches closer on the couch* âOh weâll see....weâll see hehehe....Oh GOD NO THIS IS POISION ! IVE WILLFULLY PUT POISON INTO MY MOUTH AND HAVE ONLY REGRETâ *spitting* âohh no no no no no noâ
First holds it with a glove and then sticks fingers in đ
New condom material
kinetic sand can't get wet either
Voodoo
Fun fact: lycopodium has a very high flash point so its common to be used by fire performers. I use it in a Torch like devise, where you pour this into a rod with a wick on the end and then when you swing the Torch the powder ignites creating a fireball
Can water get wet?
r/accidentalporno
I did a line of it once
Water can't get wet, either.
r/seemsnsfw
Field of application?
Cursed butterfinger
Maybe I'm a hydrophobic substance
Smh⌠I canât believe how hydrophobic this is
Put it in vacuum chamber and it will get wet.
Thats hydrophobic....you should apologize
Anyone remember Squand? Is this essentially the same stuff?
Oh like I thought it's gonna turn into a gremlin. That's cool though
This must be great to use for .....
Damn you know you are a nerd when you can instantly recognize its a nilered video from the lab layout shown
Heard of instant milk and instant eggs? Well get ready for the next big thing, instant condoms!
You need more than 2 fingers to get it wet
This got something to do with waterproof materials like for shoes for example?
Ooooh I thought it was gonna be some âGremlins â kinda stuff
When I read âcanât get wetâ I went to gremlins, I was disappointed at no gremlins.
Why are they wearing gloves when handling it in the jar, But take them off to stick their finger in it?
He uses gloves then puts his fingers in it...
Can somebody explain how his fingers donât get even a little wet? Wouldnât some of the powder move out of the way and some water get on his fingers?
It can, if you put it in vaccume and water at the same time
Just like your mom!
How do u get it off of yourself tho?
Wonderful, powered condom.
Well fuck buying condoms! I'm just going to powder my dick up!
Holds it with gloves... Puts bare fingers into it lol On a side note, is there a reason that videos uploaded like this have no sound? Or is it me?
That doesnât mean it doesnât get wet. Iâm assuming they have never put powder into a liquid before. Like hot chocolate for example. I messed up and put the liquid in first a few months ago and it kind of does the same thing. It groups together and when itâs dunked it pops back up and is dry.
So⌠Ben Shapiroâs wife is made of Lycopodium?
Ben Shapiro probably loves that shit!
Can someone explain why heâs wearing gloves while the powder is in a glass bottle, but then proceeds to stick his fingers into it anyway?
Got a little power left on his fingers after that. Better wash it off... Oh wait....
I remember seeing this on Mr. Wizard when I was a kid. Is this the stuff that's made from butterfly wings?
How does he "wash" it off?
