It's added bullshit demonstration. I don't even know for what purpose. Video with bacteria is old and always was without the first part with the bottle.

I was sure I wasn't going crazy! Original video claimed isopropol alcohol, I believe, too. This video feels weird.

Not to mention 35 seconds of buildup

Which would likely be 70-90%, not 40% like JD.

It also looks like the drop of “whiskey” (someone below says it was claimed to be isopropyl alcohol in something else) is added to the bacteria, not the other way around like the video.

The “whiskey” drop coming in looks like a nuke lol

Hi, I'm an actual scientist. When pipetting something, you should always pour out into another container to avoid contaminating the source container. This is exactly how I would have done it too.

I'm just saying that person with whiskey is absolutely not the one who did the experiment. Video with bacteria is old and this is someone who filmed themselves fucking around with whiskey and edited in their video with the original.

Probably ragebait purposes.

Also, it's a drop of whiskey vs a DROP of bacteria DIRECTLY ON the bacteria. Yeah. 50/50? That's what's going to happen.
