  • Klaatu is eating SIRI...

  • @caseydressup its annoying when people say that to get top comment

  • looks like a pest, it isnt an actual pest lmao

  • this is called tin disease. occurs with beta tin transforming into alpha tin. this is actually interesting, as napoleon couldn't conquer russia due to all of their uniforms being made of beta tin, suffering tin disease in russia's freezing temperatures. their buttons disintegrated, and they were left half naked in the cold.

  • THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL

  • That awkward moment when you come back to a video and you have one of the top comments and then the top comment above you is someone copying what you said 6 months later....

  • the reason why its called a "pest" is because before this discovery so many people actually beleive that there was some tiype of animal eating the metal.

  • i thought it was called a goat

  • @12ThatOneGuy12 what did you think?

  • @caseydressup it's even more annoying when they're both true
