So it turns out Mike Paly is actually a dude in Florida who had his identity stolen 10 years ago. He reached out to me with the original photos the scammers stole for the campaign, so sorry for dunking on you Mike. Please don't go looking for his socials and please don't harass him, the real Mike Paly is just another victim of the scam.
Poor Mikey
Mike, your true identity shall be remembered 😞😩🥺😢
Oof

William Osman is the proud creator of safety bot. I'd kindly ask you to respect his safety credentials.
But also not surprising somehow
@Finn Brenner You must have missed the one where he was learning stunts and jumped on a pre-scored plywood table over solid concrete in his garage and almost broke his ankle. Although in all fairness that video is what got me subscribed to him.
"former"
I mean i screamed at the lava video because they needed another shield but he is safeish at least
5:57 So one guy works on the Battlebots show, and the other guy MADE this lightsaber design, and both of them are still perplexed by what came out of the box, lol.
he doesn't work on Battlebots show, he just bought battlebots and did some videos about them, but this guy who made the lightsaber almost got to be a mythbuster in the TV show :D

When William Osman is describing how unbelievably dangerous a device is, and is genuinely afraid, we've hit a whole new level of hazard
Something about leaking Methanol and a pilot flame just doesn't sit right with me.
*Michael Reeves: (Reeeeeee noises)*
The _real_ fear is that you get comfortable with a device and the original fear fades.

William Osman is a bit of a madman, so whatever scares him, we should be VERY afraid, too

If you have an invention you have to do a few things in this order...
1. Keep your creation a secret.
2. Call a lawyer.
3. Get patent, trademark, copyright (which ever the lawyer says is required.)
4. Show the world what you made.

Of all the ways to die from a lightsaber, I never imagined methanol poisoning could be one.
Yeah, I thought you need to drink ethanol to push out the methanol.
And I thought mistaking a light saber for a toy is a bad way to die

I imagine this is how many of your guys' video ideas come to fruition.
Fun fact: the blue color methanols flame gives off when burned mixed with the small flame causes the flame to appear invisible in daylight. This is kinda a problem in f1 racing when they spill gas during pit stops because they use methanol-based fuel instead of the more common ethanol gasoline which burns red and goes boom

I've recently seen a video about methanol invisible flames and was scared as shit when you got covered in methanol.
The manicure with Xyla Foxlin and PhysicsGirl was a way better story than I expected and I can't even question his logic in keeping it after it was pink.
wait can you send me a link to it?
Methanol also seems like a terrible choice because of how easily it can start burning. I can easily see the flame travel back into the tank if you don't push the plunger fast enough, and that could cause an explosion. That sort of thing is still a risk with other fuels, but it's at its worst with methanol.
