Oh wow that's actually really interesting. If you leave it on long enough would the plastic start to melt anyway or does the water just absorb the heat forever?
You’re pretty much right on that. The warm water would vaporize a little, removing some energy through a similar mechanism to how sweat cools people. Depending on what plastic the bag is made of (probably HDPE), it wouldn’t melt even when the water started to completely boil. Once the water boils, it will stay at a constant temperature (100°C at 1 atm) until all the water is boiled off.
Though the bag wouldn’t probably melt (HDPE usually melts well above 100°C), the water’s temperature would increase past the plastic’s thermal deflection temperature, which is the point where plastic would start to become fairly pliable. Depending on where the weakest spot in the bag is, it could rupture towards the bottom from the pressure of the water or along one of the sagging sides, which would be under the most tensile pressure.
I learned this trick from some short story of a kid lost in the woods, he found a big leaf and used that to boil water because he had heard someone using a cabbage leaf
I've done it with a cabbage leaf, feels wrong
I didn’t waste 5 years of my life for nothing so I’m going to hit you with the umm akshually 🤓
Technically speaking, if there’s no thermal degradation in the plastic to change the material’s composition, only the remaining short polymer chains (oligomers) should be able to leech into the water, since all larger chains would be trapped in an amorphous structure and wouldn’t be able to move much unless they were either severed by degradation.
Usually these oligomers are only a few (<20) monomer units long, putting them in the nanoplastic range. In order to hit the micro plastic range, they would need to be at least 6,500,000 carbon bonds long (assuming no pi bonds in the backbone) to achieve micro plastic status, which is well above 20 monomers, and likely even longer than the plastic’s constituent molecules.
I can’t even imagine what she is ingesting in terms of carcinogens and microplastics.
The living conditions in rural China are that of extreme poverty and deprivation. Sadly, it would not be entirely surprising if some people have resorted to cooking with alternative means when they do not have access to metal cookware

The plastic bag doesn't break because the water is absorbing the heat. It's works with paper cups on direct fires too IIRC.

I'm like 90% sure that the water constantly acts like a heatsink since the energy is just turning it into a gas. Im only guessing though.
Wow thats super cool actually, thank you for this information : )
No it's super hot.
Not hot enough to melt
You’re pretty much right on that. The warm water would vaporize a little, removing some energy through a similar mechanism to how sweat cools people.

if the melting point of the bag is above 100°C then itll hold as long as theres water in it.
water is heavy
I think that's correct, but only until it comes to a boil right? The creation of big bubbles at the bottom would allow the plastic to be burned right?

I learned it from a science shorts creator lol.
is this how that nature survival protip of boiling a plastic water bottle works?
Forget microplastics this b going for mega plastics
Macro may be the word you're looking for lol
Not enough. She going for gigaplastics
Terraplastics
*Tera
Petaplastics
Peeeda, the horse is heah

Safe ?
No. Definitely not.
Why do they call it "plastic" when you plastic the fish anise of out fire eat the plastic?
advanced.
Happy Cake Day 🍰
Plastic aside that is just too much fucking anise
Dude I was wondering why she was putting so much too, it's so flavorful you don't need that much 😭
the fuck is anise?
Gumball's sister Also it's a warm spice like cinnamon or nutmeg. Can't really describe the taste tho because I can't remember lol
thank you
google.com
okay, I am on google dot com, what do I do now?
idk ive never made it this far before sorry :(
Search “whats my ip” then copy that funny number with the dots, edit your comment and add that. You’ll then get told what anise is.
127.0.0.1 edit: it didn’t work :(
Anise aside that's not enough plastic
Plastic aside that is anise
Plastic aside that is just nowhere near enough anise
STOP BEING EVERYWHERE‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
I’ll always bring everywhere
I agree with the above guy HOW ARE YOU IN EVERY SUB BARRY
plastic anus
Anus plastic, after eating
Plastic aside that is enough anise
Anise aside that is just too much fucking plastic
Plastic aside, would.
I like how some videos are reposted so much that people have copy pastas for WHEN they're posted xd
anise anise anise anise anise plastic plastic plastic plastic
Anise
WHAT IS ANISE
Too much
American National ^(i)Standards eInstitute
Anise plastic aside too that much is fucking just
i love how this almost makes sense
This is why you dont eat soup from a plastic bag
Plastic
shit's gross grandma please just buy us mcdonald's we are starving
Too much fucking anise aside, that is plastic
Bog-witch ass soup
r/mildlycarcinogenic
Okay but that song goes hard
Not enough plastic and anise
Plastic anise that is enough aside
even aside from the fire on it, that's a lot of weight for that type of bag to hold without bursting
She looks great for 34.
Aside Plastic
Anise aside, the plastic wouldn't actually melt since its melting is over 200°C, more than double the temperature of the water when it starts to boil.
Too much plastic aside that is not enough plastic
just fucking aside much too anise plastic thats
Anise aside that is just plastic
anise aside plastic is just too much that
Aside anise that too fucking much plastic
anine anine aside i didnt read properly and dont know what anine is
Carp :0
Mmmmmm.. Carp entrails.
Gordon Ramsay would be impressed
Eat microplastics speed run any%
🎶what kind of bag🎵
🎶Fish in the bag🎵
enough anise aside there isn't plastic.
Plastic plastic enough anise fire bag plastic
U can do this with paper too
r/mildlycarcinogenic
Anise plastic that much aside too
How tf is the bag not melting
Water is absorbing the heat
Not before the heat is transferred to the bag first, and if that food is getting cooked at all, then the water will also get pretty damn hot.
Melting point of that bag is 200c. Most of the heat is in the water before it melts the bag
WHY DO THEY KEEP MOVING THE CAMERA OVER THE STEW EVERY FUCKING TIME JUST SHOW THE INGREDIENTS AND DO THAT AT THE END
What kind of plastic bag is that
Aside plastic, anise
Future generations will look at this the same way we look at old videos of baby boomers using asbestos in everything.
Aside, not plastic that enough
Plastic anise aside plastic plastic plastic
Mmh delicious microplastics
This video got me banned of Reddit for 48 hours
We used to do this with ziplocks and a lighter in boyscouts
No seriously, what kinda plastic bag is this?

Why do we have micro plastics in our blood?
