MEET THE DESTROYERS: FIVE CHANNELS FOR THE NIHILIST IN YOU You know where you are?! You’re in the YouTubez, baby. You’re gonna dieeeeeeeeee! Maybe you’ll get dipped in liquid nitrogen and smashed to bits. Maybe you’ll be blowtorched or dunked in molten aluminum. Who knows? The fact of the matter is that if you’re a giant gummy bear or a new cellphone, you better watch your back. We got a hydraulic press in the garage. We got a jet engine we haven’t even started yet. YouTube. It’s a paradise and it’s a warzone. Here we focus on the latter. These are our top-five favorite channels dedicated to destroying stuff. 🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽 THE HYDRAULIC PRESS CHANNEL: CRUSHING IS AN ARTFORM https://goo.gl/9bRt0k The “Hydraulic Press Channel,” which surpassed a million subscribers in less than a year, is run by a hilarious Finnish gentleman named Lauri Vuohensilta whose delight in crushing rubber duckies is infectious. Somehow he manages to consistently up the ante on a weekly basis so his schtick never gets old. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 LET’S MELT THIS: HE’LL STOP THE WORLD AND MELT WITH YOU https://goo.gl/Ixt92M There’s nothing quite as satisfying as the sight of a giant jawbreaker slowly melting to liquid. “Let’s Melt This” is just what it sounds like, a channel dedicated to melting stuff. But it’s not always with fire. Whoever runs this channel has easy access to thermite, acetone and tons of other corrosive chemicals you’ve probably never heard of. Let’s just hope he’s a science teacher. 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 RED HOT NICKEL BALL: THE INTERNET’S FAVORITE FIERY BALL OF METAL https://goo.gl/o28jeN What happens when you drop a red-hot ball of nickel into a bucket of hot dogs? Only one way to find out! Go to the “Red Hot Nickel Ball” channel (youtube.com/c/carsandwater) and start keywording like mad. Odds are the the great RHNB has had it’s way with your chosen object. If not, there’s always the comments section where you can suggest what the ball will tackle next. ✂️ ✂️ ✂️ ✂️ ✂️ CUT IN HALF: THERE IS BEAUTY IN SYMMETRY https://goo.gl/esloZR Have you ever seen a tennis shoe cut perfectly in half by a 60,000 psi waterjet? OMG it’s amazing! We have no idea what they use this contraption for in real life, but here on YouTube it cuts random objects in half and that’s really all we care about.

💡 CHANNEL SPOTLIGHT 💡 Primitive Tech: https://goo.gl/EVG0HR Ever wondered what it would be like to live in another era? Go back in time with Primitive Tech, a channel that does everything from making a kiln and pottery out of termite clay to constructing a grass hut to assembling a stone axe from scratch. Primitive Tech is a creator from Far North Queensland, Australia. His videos are especially captivating because they contain no narration, just pure demonstration. Watch these videos and take notes—if you ever find yourself trapped in the middle of nowhere without modern tools, you’ll be able to build a settlement so comfy you’ll never want to go back to civilization.

Lots and lots of eggs. 🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔 YUKA KINOSHITA: MEET JAPAN’S “GLUTTONOUS BEAUTY” https://goo.gl/4NhQKQ Don't let Kinoshita’s slight frame and super kawaii personality fool you.

As a competitive eater her achievements include inhaling seven pounds worth of Big Macs in under 10 minutes, slurping 9,000 calories worth of ramen in one go and destroying three large pizzas without coming up for air. 🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱 MADCATLADY: CGI AT IT’S MOST DISTURBING https://goo.gl/IiUylk MadCatLady, AKA Wendy Vainity, is a reclusive 50-something CGI hobbyist from Australia whose creepy videos of skinless EDM dancers and shrill-voiced cat people will haunt your dreams for the rest of your life.You’ve been warned. 🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽 YOU SUCK AT COOKING: COOKING CLASSES FOR JERKS https://goo.gl/M9Fi0z “You Suck At Cooking” is a DIY kitchen show run by a guy who seems to hate cooking. Through a series of quick edits YSAC’s faceless hands beat, stab and throw together various ingredients while the narrator snidely comments on how bad things suck. “You Suck At Cooking” is “Martha Stewart” for sarcastic misanthropes. 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪 THE FOOD SURGEON: THE CREEPIEST CANDY CREATIONS ON THE INTERNET https://goo.gl/UD4tfo If Dexter worked for Willy Wonka this is the kind of stuff he’d do on his break. Under the flickering lights of the Food Surgeon’s lab, innocent Peeps are gutted, filled with Cadbury Egg cream and then sewn up again to be served to unsuspecting snackers. Kit Kat’s are inserted into Snickers bars and pineapples are lobotomized. Don’t worry though, Food Surgeon is a doctor and he definitely knows what he’s doing.
