Former NASA and Apple engineer Mark Rober has confirmed the stomach-churning truth why swimming pools stink in what he has called 'the most terrifying experiment' he has ever done. In a bid to confirm whether the scent we are all familiar with is chlorine or in fact just sweat and pee, he tested the pong of two buckets of water. The only difference between the two is that one contained a drop of pee.

Mark Rober, a savvy former NASA engineer, planted glitter bombs and fart sprays in cars around San Francisco's streets as a lure for criminals trying to steal from cars. Rober attempted to take a prank on the criminals who break into over 20,000 cars in San Francisco each year, but also track where they took the stolen items from them. Many of his stolen, fake items ended up in a homeless encampment that doubles as a fencing market in the Dem-led city, where people know they can go to exchange common items for quick cash. Rober told his 28.7 million YouTube followers that it didn't take long before the robbers started looting, and that his phony bags were looted 25 times during his probe.
