It’s not much of a fair fight. In a video posted by YouTube user [Tito4re](https://www.youtube.com/user/21nal/about "undefined"), viewers can see the utter destruction of one of the [holiday-themed](http://time.com/4161308/gorilla-christmas-tree-toronto-zoo/ "undefined") domes by a vat of the blazing-hot metal. However, the globe is shockingly still able to play music by the end of the [experiment](http://time.com/3755007/iphone6-lava-lamp/ "undefined"). And if you’re curious about the effect that molten copper has on other everyday items, check out Tito4re’s [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0k9PfNjEkzISBnSk43mzvQ "undefined") for more clips of him pouring the substance over things like a [coconut](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KngzRyZJGaE "undefined") and a [Chevy Camaro](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blC0JrcKQOw "undefined"). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4162652/man-pours-molten-copper-on-snow-globe/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4162652/man-pours-molten-copper-on-snow-globe/"},"headline":"Watch What Happens When This Man Pours Molten Copper on a Snow Globe","datePublished":"2015-12-28T21:40:40.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:28:09.394Z","description":"The globe is still able to play music","url":"https://time.com/4162652/man-pours-molten-copper-on-snow-globe/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","Science topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4162652/man-pours-molten-copper-on-snow-globe/","name":"Watch What Happens When This Man Pours Molten Copper on a Snow Globe"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Here Is an Adorable Compilation of Kids Reacting to Opening Christmas Presents","description":"From jubilant exclamations — \"Santa knowed what I wanted for Christmas!\" — to earsplitting shrieks, here are some of our favorite reactions.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/bphe0Q3F/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2013-12-20T15:53:36.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/bphe0Q3F.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4162652/man-pours-molten-copper-on-snow-globe/","duration":"PT1M19S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4162652/man-pours-molten-copper-on-snow-globe/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
