Reaction between elemental aluminium and mercury gives off a very eye catching reaction that you can never get used to it. It’s called the amalgamation.

Have I lost my mind (probably), or do I remember Amalgamated being used as a fictional company name in some cartoons back in the early 80’s or so? Is there another type of media that I have this confused with?

Has it actually finished by the end of the video, or will it eventually spaghettify the whole thing?

There is nothing that makes me skip a video faster than “watch to the end.”
This was fascinating. But some halfwit wanted to ruin it with “watch til the end” 20 seconds from the fucking end.

Could this have been possible in say ancient times and thought to be sorcery or some such? At least as a one off spectacular enough to make folktales out of?
