@BOTthelesser

As a welder the fact thereโ€™s flux there too makes me laugh

@peanutpnutpnt

bro didnt hurt himself

@The-One-and-Only100

In the early days of welding, they used carbon rods to weld, but nowadays, they are used to erase welds

This is one of those tricks you pull out on a desert island to fix the radio

I know you smirked hearing that.

I had a soldering iron I bought from radio shack that had a forked graphite tip with a 9v battery. You had to bridge the tip to connect the circuit to heat up the tip element. It would get hot enough to solder. By it's nature, you had to feed solder into the joint and it works but stick to the tip. It was pretty convenient for small jobs.

Bro's rod perfectly fits in the hole which is begging to be hot๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€   


(Yo!! How did I get so many likes?)

@howtonot580

You can see the bump popping up from the weld where the graphite magically transformed into metal as it melted

You can do this as shown in the video. sort of. Connect 2 or more car batteries in series for more voltage  + to  -, Then using a set of jumper cables connect the positive to the carbon rod and negative to the metal. Offroaders keep some welding rods around for emergency repairs using this trick.  It's actually how the first welders were made.
You can parallel two more batteries for more current.

@senioradahug

Definitely wasn't bs, everyone knows graphite has build in Flux and turns into carbon Steen with a naked arc
