It would be much better if you only had a small secret chamber and one murder hole to cover up. Needing to fill the teapot through the murderholes makes it super awkward to use, it would work much better if you just had a tiny container for the poison and just mixed it in to the bulkier liquid as required, with most of it just being a regular teapot with the detachable lid and everything. Plus, this way it doubles as an actual teapot you can just use whenever.

@StormgemThunder

6 ай бұрын

Alternatively, have left/right chambers instead of top/bottom that you can fill via removing the lid (that seals properly) Then just move the location of the holes to accomodate this (so on the top left/right of the handle for instance)

This is called 鸳鸯转香壶. Based on Chinese wiki ‘Baidu’ it first appeared in the Han Dynasty. Year 241 BC, after the death of Emperor Hui of Han, his son Liu Gong was made emperor. The late queen Lü Zhi, fearing that new emperor’s mother might vie for power with her, used this kind of pot to hold two types of wine, one of which was poisoned. At a banquet, the emperor’s mother was poisoned to death with this wine. By the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor Zhao Guangyi used this pot filled with wine to entertain another emperor Li Yu. Legend says the fragrance of the wine masked the poisoned wine, leading to Li’s death in Bianjing. Since then, many legends related to this pot have emerged.

Here's a fun one. I have a pair of reusable water bottles that I used to use for drinking soda. However, when I first started using them for such, the soda keep going up the straws to squirt out the spouts. I found out that the lids had vents with rubber stoppers that acted like a one-way valve meant to allow air while keeping the liquid from spilling out. This was probably added to make the bottles spill-proof but it was causing the gases in my soda to be trapped and force the soda up the straws and out the spouts. I've since remove the rubber stoppers but I've also switched to using the bottles for water like they were meant to. I can image that if I had found a way to seal both the vents and the spouts with soda in them, the bottles would either explode or become pressurized like a normal soda bottle.

Same thing with people getting hung up on cold objects "transferring cold" in the conduction sense- fine but it is a relative term- but when talking about convection it is back to the same deal with the "rising" air.

The conclusion drawn from this is that thermodynamic beta, which is just the reciprocal of temperature scaled by the Boltzmann constant, is a more physically “fundamental” concept than temperature itself, in some sense. What this means is that it’s more accurate to say that you let the cold in than letting the heat out. Take that out of your null pipe and smoke it.

Its the same reason there is a hole at the top of a coffee mug you might buy from Costas, as you drink, air has to flow in to replace the space left from the coffee, or the coffee will not come out. As you're sucking from the straw, what you're doing is removing air from it. It is then the atmospheric pressure then pressing on the liquid on the outside that causes the liquid to rise. If you tried it on the Moon without atmosphere, likely it would not work. I hope that helps.

so basically when you’re a kid and you’re drinking through a straw and you put your thumb over the hole to stop it from falling out so you can, for no reason at all, pull the straw out and let it leak out from the bottom into your mouth. Except for, let’s say, this straw is divided vertically down the middle, and this process repeated, covering both holes, one, or none. Genius.

For all of you “what if I cover the wrong hole” folks out there, the bottom hole is not intended to be covered during “normal” use. Always put poison on top and tea on the bottom, reason being the top hole is more ergonomically viable to cover than the bottom. As the poison and tea will mix together in your victim’s cup automatically when you pour them out together, you only need to cover the top hole when serving yourself. I hope it makes sense.

Adding another reason to always use the top for normal. In every clear pot demonstration you can see some of the top liquid flowing back up the spout and into the bottom after the first pour.

@thanhhoang7335

2 жыл бұрын

However, isn’t that SUPER risky? Should poison be in the top layer, each time you finish pouring, some amount of poison would easily just flow from the tip back to the normal drink in the layer below. So i think its safer to put the poison in the bottom layer

if i ever poison someone with this i’ll most likely give both of us the poison because i would forget how to use it

notably if you are using the above and below version not the side by side version, be sure to have the poison in the bottom chamber. The top chamber drips some liquid into the bottom chamber during pouring.

The fake lawyer phone call was a good bit and I was smiling, but the hanging up the smart phone on a rotary phone body killed me 😂

An interesting linguistic difference: I speak a dialect of American English. When he said "run off to the shops" I thought of what speakers of other dialects of English would probably call a workshop, where equipment for things like woodwork, metalwork, or automotive maintenance is kept and used. I was confused for a bit. I asked myself, what sort of edutainment subscription box would ever require visiting a shop? And what shop would you even run off to if you didn't have your own? And how would there be enough of those publicly accessible shops in a local area to say "the shops"? But then I realized he meant what I'd call a store. In the rural western US, a shop is an indoor workspace where one stores and uses equipment for crafting or repairing something, and a store is where you buy or sell something. When they coincide, they're still referred to separately because they're physically separated by some sort of barrier. The shop has equipment that the random public should be kept away from, for the sake of safety and liability. The store is the space where customers are allowed and where the transactions actually occur. Shops can be part of a space that includes a store, be stand-alone buildings, or even be a garage commandeered by its crafty owner who didn't have any other space to work in. I just found that to be interesting.
