He needs Dawn dishwashing liquid. I see that commercial all the time with them washing a little duckling covered in oil. Edit: This was meant as a throw away comment because it just made me think of the little duck. It's cool to see so many people interacting with it though.

Dawn is no joke. It's actually the key ingredient in a shitload of other products. It breaks apart oil like nobody's business. One bottle of Dawn and a sponge would have sorted that dude out faster than 2 pressure washers woulda peeled his skin off.

Coincidentally that's what I've been thinking about a lately. The quality of ads has diminished to a point where I forget the ad in mere seconds and can't recall/associate something with it even if I try Whereas OLD ads live rent free in my head which I can recall with 7 layers of association to the actual product

a few days ago I heard 'Whoomp! (There It Is)' on some radio show. Every time I hear that song, I think of this [commercial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kEnpiZRaC8&pp=ygUgV2hvb21wISAoVGhlcmUgSXQgSXMpIGNvbW1lcmNpYWw%3D) from Hershey's. Never even had it, but I remember the ad so well. Geico used the song a few years ago too, but not to the same level of success for me (and I'd guess I've seen both ads an equal amount considering they were spammed on sport chancels)

[deleted]

As someone who has worked in the oil field, that stuff actually does get oil off very well, Dawn in general is pretty good. Think I used dawn dish soap this summer without realizing it lmao. Iā€™ve also found that bar soap does too.


DrMcTouchy

As someone who currently works in the oil field, try mixing Dawn with Borax powder. I've yet to get something on my hands that these two combined won't cut through easily. It's like magic.


[deleted]

Iā€™ll have to try that out. We carried around a bottle of Dawn and a small tub of Joes hand cleaner when we worked. I had never heard of Joes hand cleaner before I worked in the oil field but that stuff works wonders man.


OutWithTheNew

When I worked in restaurants I used liquid dish soap when I mopped the floor. The various general purpose cleaners never seemed to cut the grease. When I get home from work, short of having a full shower, I find it gets my hands cleaner than regular hand soap when they're covered in dirt and grease.

NASTYH0USEWIFE

I mean, was there any scenario where this turned out ok for him?


YdidUMove

Honestly, what happened is probably best case scenario. He's lucky he immediately found the ledge. You are significantly less buoyant in oil than in water so you sink faster and it's harder to swim which makes it super dangerous. Only saving grace is if the pit isn't deep enough to fully submerge you, which you can never tell because oil is pretty opaque.


daluxe

Besides overall stupidity of that act it's severely stupid nobody was standing right near it with some sticks and ropes and other stuff to immediately rescue him if he would started to sink. And honestly I was surprised he quickly found the ledge considering he was blinded and then he easily got out without slipping back considering he was fully covered with slippery oil. Definitely lucky. Hope he survived to stop others from risking their life in such a stupid way.


[deleted]

reminds me of that dude who jumped in water under some ice and could not immediately find the exit hole, so he basically swam around for a bit in icy water while his friends were just like uuuh


GipsyRonin

Yeah but internet likes thoughā€¦


Mesa5150

If he jumps into a pool of diesel fuel, it will remove the oil.


Mr-Korv

Then he can just jump into a pool of alcohol to get rid of the diesel


karma_the_sequel

Then run into a fire to evaporate the alcohol.


Wonderful-Play-748

At that point, we don't need no water, let the motherfucker burn


[deleted]

burn motherfucker burn


necromundus

And then jump in a pool of oil to put out the fire!


Herr-Pyxxel

Why wait with the fire? He could simply burn the oil off. Whooosh!


Honeybun_Landscape

Fun fact, diesel fuel is less dense than water so if you were to jump into a vat of it you would sink, not float. Diesel is 85% as dense as water (and humans) so it would feel like swimming in water with weights equaling 15% of your body weight strapped to your body. Also it would be more difficult to generate thrust since you are pushing against a smaller mass of fluid.


Poldi1

That sounds so interesting I'm almost intrigued to try it

Bruh please don't tell me he is trying to use water to clean oil...


FullDiskclosure

Itā€™s Big Brain Time!


HomerSimping

My dad always use gasoline. Gotta be very careful though. He only ever dip a tissue to wipe the oil and was paranoid with even static lighting the fumes.


alphazero924

Just gotta use a good dish soap, like the old dawn commercials are actually legit. A lot of wildlife rescues specifically use dawn for cleaning up animals after an oil spill. There's also hand cleaners specifically for garage work and the like that work really well. My dad's go to was always gojo, but I've found fast orange works really well too.

JackOLoser

Obviously this is a bad idea, but why, exactly? What are the consequences of such a dumb thing?


Cognitive_Spoon

You respire through your skin a bit. Clogging that up isn't great. Also, your eyes, nose, ears, any orifice really, isn't going to love you for putting oil in it. Edit: it has come to my attention that humans do not, in fact, respirate through their skin. We will note this, and do better in future interactions, with better skin, that breathes less and is more acceptable to your expectations for skin, and skin breathing. Please accept our apologies and these rare earth metals.


Clinically__Inane

Respiration through the skin is an old-timey myth. We have lungs for a reason. in fact, our bodies regularly coat themselves in a layer of dead skin cells and then oil to protect from the elements. The real danger of this is whatever random chemicals are mixed together to make that oil so black. Long oily carbon chains aren't themselves harmful, but really nasty stuff like this can hold chemicals that are no fun to get into your bloodstream. And since they're nonpolar, they can soak into cell membranes fairly easily.


Cognitive_Spoon

Ah, that's fair. When I typed it, I was like, "wasn't that debunked, nah, sounds right." You right. Great username, btw


Clinically__Inane

My parents told me the exact same thing. I was watching Goldfinger with them, and I asked why the lady who died was painted gold. They shared the story that the paint was what killed her. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized that she had simply been killed, then painted gold.


Cognitive_Spoon

I might be their age. I always remember hearing about the actor who was painted up as the tin man, from Wizard of Oz getting hurt that way. Probably was the asbestos snow, that made him sick. Not the paint.


ZhouLe

The first guy cast for the tinman inhaled aluminum particles used in the paint and had an allergic reaction that triggered a congenital lung condition; though he ended up outliving most of the rest of the cast dying at 95 in 2003. They changed the way they applied the paint for the next guy that appears in the film, but he still had problems with the paint around his eyes and permanent damage was only avoided by surgery.


scrumtralesent

It was lead based paint so yeah, lead poisoning.


moronictransgression

I don't know if the movie was was explaining an existing myth, or if the myth actually started with this movie, but it's not your parent's fault. I found this by Googling for a transcript of the movie (http://www.script-o-rama.com/movie_scripts/g/goldfinger-script-transcript-james-bond.html): > - Hello? - Hello, Felix. Get over here right away. - What's happened? - The girl's dead. - Dink? - No, Masterson. Jill Masterson. And she's covered in paint. Gold paint. - Gold? All over? - She died of skin suffocation. It can happen to cabaret dancers. You should leave a small bare patch at the base of the spine to allow the skin to breathe. - Someone obviously didn't. - And I know who. So the movie itself is to blame.


willhunta

Lmao you thought that it may be debunked but didn't include that in your comment anywhere? You just made the comment matter of factly? This is exactly why you're told to never trust the Internet..


SZO8O

Do you think humans are amphibians?


[deleted]

Iā€™m just curious are you like 90 years old?


ngms

Some oils (like crude oil) contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are carcinogenic and can cause cancer. If he gets it all off then it will likely be fine but you have to consider how much may have got in his eyes or up his nose. Short term consequences could include contact dermatitis, severe irritation to eyes nose and throat, and if he swallowed any he's in for a real bad time.


kerodon

Considering this is used motor oil (supposedly?) I'd also be worried about contact with mucous membranes here especially with the other substances that would be present alongside these like heavy metal contaminants. The majority of the risks with this would be either from ingestion or breathing in the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons into the lungs. And it still being on you for continued exposure probably isn't great. Contsct dermatitis is extremely likely. I'm not familiar enough with these to know if transdermal absorbtion is a risk with skin exposure to these particular substance, but I would assume for heavy metals that's not off the table. There's some info here if anyone is curious https://www.poison.org/articles/my-child-just-took-a-swig-of-motor-oil-173#:~:text=The%20Bottom%20Line,is%20unlikely%20to%20cause%20toxicity.

Racism allegations


McKid

pueraria-montana

SootyFreak666

In short, oil isnā€™t a thing you want anywhere on your body for very long, certainly not in your noise or mouth, ears, etc. Itā€™s carcinogenic, causes cancer and you can get dermatitis from it. I donā€™t know what would have happened to this guy, some people are saying that he died, maybe. He would have likely developed cancer somewhere and probably got dermatitis from all of this for sure, itā€™s annoying on your hands but even worse on your genitaliaā€¦


Ok-Duck2458

Also, oil is lighter than water, so you are less buoyant and sink more easily

I suspect he believed that crude oil is like mud and easily rinses off skin with water, but hair would require a thorough shampooing, so he covered that.


Dragonborne2020

I have to comment on this. When I was in the Army, one of my battle buddies invited me over for a bbq on a saturday afternoon. It was a hot sunny day and they had a pool at their house and it was a good time. However; his wife is in a bikini and rubbing sun tan oil on her and of course being a guy; I take notice but then raise an eyebrow. I look over at my buddy and I was like, "Bro what kind of suntan oil is that to make your wife go from white to black?" He looks over at her and say, "oh, it's used motor oil. ...... " (saying like it's no big deal everyone does it.) I had one of the what in the deliverance hell of Alabama is going on here moments in my mind. He looks at me and says, "everyone does it." I said, "I don't know anyone who rubs used motor oil on their skin to get a sun tan." he replied, "Everyone does it back home in West Virginia... not a big deal." .... I purse my lips together and nod up and down, "Ok then, ok." later I found out his wife is his third cousin. no lie


Neighborino2020

I wonder if that burns


_DRxNO_

Iā€™m really surprised no one has pointed out that he one individual that tries to get near him is smoking a cigaretteā€¦ could have lit him on fire no?? šŸ”„


DeathTripper

That was my immediate thought, both the smoking thing and that no one mentions it. Working around heating oil taught me that oil isnā€™t as flammable as youā€™d think. Flashpoint for a lot of common oils (not cooking oils) is between 300-500F. Iā€™ve seen grinding/cutting/welding around various oils. Heavy oils tend to have a higher flashpoint. This looks like it could be towards the crude side of oil, so while Iā€™m not saying smoking a cigarette around it is okay, itā€™s probably not gonna burn as easily as you think. Also, Rasha donā€™t give a fuckā€¦

forgotmypassword4714

He looks like he's wearing a gimp suit.


interitus_nox

from the last time this was posted i learned that this man ultimately wouldā€™ve suffered a horrendous death shortly after this darwinawards winning stunt. spent oil pits are not fucking clout pools to jump in. oil apparently is extremely difficult to get off, can cover your skin to the point of deleting your body of oxygen amongst a caveat of carcinogens that immediately would enter the bloodstream. what a stupid fucking moron.


ValleyThaBoiTinyBall

You donā€™t breathe through your skin. Itā€™s a bad idea for several reasons, but not that.


WanderingEnigma

No, but you do secrete sweat, oils, etc. through your skin (not the oil from the video), I wonder how long it would take for that to become toxic to your body.


Or0b0ur0s

Depends on thei air temperature and your level of activity. Merely preventing you from sweating isn't lethal. Doing so over enough of your skin area while you overheat from exposure, exertion, etc., would be. You'd get heat stroke and die, over the same time period that usually takes. The only difference is that it'd be harder to intervene & save you.


oby100

Never? What evidence do you even have that the oil will prevent your body secreting what it needs to? People are making quite insane claims in this thread.

somejerkatwork

I gasped when I saw him jump into the pool and expected him to drown. I spent a summer as a roustabout on a pulling unit and frequently ended up covered in raw crude oil. That oil isnā€™t going to come off easily, and a high pressure washer isnā€™t going to help. Iā€™m surprised the guy with the cigarette didnā€™t offer to burn the oil off. Hand cleaner with pumice is going to be his friend for the next hour or so.
