nilered shows the difference between burning sulfur in normal earth atmosphere vs pure oxygen (it's very bright)

they put iron filings into cereal to make sure you get nutrients

liquids splash when they hit a surface because it causes compression of the air underneath which sends small parts of the liquid flying everywhere
