I genuinely thought you were being sponsored by Skillshare at the beginning there haha!
The robot military shorts are at the top of the stupid pile
I'd really like it for Simon to do DIY trachetomy
there needs to be a series where simon just reacts to the most STUPID people doing stupid stuff BLAZE BOI REACTS
As soon as you said it I thought to myself "why does Simon have saw? He's never going to use one"
Coming soon: Danny's how to escape from a basement UA-cam DIY channel.
You'll need toothpaste and a banana.
I think it's funny Caz my name is danny
@@dannybrown6253are you ok danny do you need food and water? Maybe a new pen and paper. Blink twice for help.
He has been in there a long time😂
All he needs is a hot glue gun, a tampon and a paperclip 😂
Ann Reardon (How to Cook That) LOVES destroying 5 Min Crafts hacks by trying them herself unless she'd risk her life by doing so. She destroyed her microwave by trying one of their egg hacks once... And her husband Dave is a sport and actually EATS the crap from the "recipes" that they give on that channel
When UA-cam (temporarily) blocked her video about how you could potentially get electrocuted trying to do what was in several different videos, but didn't block the original videos. Smh.
Came to suggest Ann’s channel, and remember UA-cam banning her yet not the original video.
Clearly it’s UA-cam’s attempt to whittle down the populous.
@@beagleissleeping5359 Yeah, that was a crap move on YT's part--Ann was actually doing a public service, while 5 Minute Crafts was actually getting people hurt and killed. :/
Yes! Thank you! I came running to the comments for this. A much brighter light should be shown on Ann Reardon's saga with 5-Minute Crafts and UA-cam. Also, the investigating she and her husband conducted about the parent company should be turning more heads.
as much as I love her doing that, I miss her old videos
Simon: *Notices weird shit does well on UA-cam*
Also Simon: *Makes Brain Blaze*
The funny thing is, brain blaze is actually one of his lesser performing channels. That’s why he sanitized and professionalised the channel from the weirder OG business blaze.
The mans not afraid to hustle. Also simom: Today I found out, and Top tenz
Simon: Some UA-cam channels are clearly just trying to pump out content even if there's no need for it, and we'd all be better off if they just slowed down and did higher quality content.
Also Simon: BRB, gotta post content to my other dozen channels.
@@SubieSpecse has like 7-10 channels qnd they all rehash the same videos. He's just a content farmer. Much like the channels he's commenting on lol
@@guaposneezewe stop to watch the car accident. The entire town watched the witches burn. That is how them channels survive. All them rubber neckers.
Not gonna lie, I'd watch a compellation video of all the times Simon has screamed "Danny! NO!" or "Why? Kevin, why?"
Am I right Peter!?
That sounds amazing!!!!
Or WTF were they thinking?
Not to mention long intros. Although I can just imagine the intro to a video of long intros. Lol😂. We'd probably have to clear our schedules for an entire weekend for it
Joke's on you, I'm into that shit
Simon, please take this warning seriously: Your knife has no hilt. If you hand is even slightly sweaty, stabbing hard into a surface can easily cause your hand to lose it's grip and slide down the blade, still clenching. This can cause some nasty wounds. From one who knows...
Maybe he can find a 5 minute crafts video on how to make a diy hilt for your knife
That's why so many knife murderers leave their own blood at the crime scene too..... genuinely.
Also, please make sure the knife clicks when you unfold it so that it doesn't fold back on your fingers when you stab with it. I don't think Simon is an idiot but I witnessed a brash former army guy get carried away and slice multiple fingers when the knife closed on him during rough play.
I second this warning, still have myself a scar as a reminder 😅
@@NextEevolutionthat's clearly a fixed blade knife
While script slapping, maniac arm flailing and aimless pacing about the room may no longer be a part of the Brain Blaze format, I'm all for the murderous undertones that come with desk stabbing.
Keep it up factboi and crew
Though, I do miss the well deserved *BUDDA BOOM BOOM TSH*
I did hear there’s a cocaine shortage in certain parts of the world🫨. Perhaps that’s why there’s less pacing and maniacal flailing 😂😂😂.
Love It all the same
I do miss the script slaps though...
AM I RIGHT, PETER??!!
@@gtRELIC Simon is why there's a cocaine shortage
I liked when Sam would randomly edit in noises when Simon would walk
I love how about Simon slowly transformed over the years someone that opposes the death penalty. To demanding people be set to the chair and waving around a big ass knife
Just like the rest of us. *Willem Dafoe laugh*
It's called growth
Character development
I love how Simon just breezes past his onion cutting ski goggles like it is the most normal thing in the world xD
I'm finding it hard to shake that image from my mind. 😅
Dr Karl Kruszelnicki (an Australian science reporter) once mentioned during talkback radio that he keeps goggles and a snorkel in his kitchen for when he caramelizes 5kg batches of onions
@@Ben111000111 I get what the goggles are used for, but the snorkel?
Just breathe through your mouth, and not your nose. No crying.
They sell a product for that that is surely just repackaged swimming goggles.
"That the silent young writers are actually being held captive and are forced against their will to write videos in some kind of wierd YT dungeon; Imagine such a thing"...Danny.
Danny and Kevin are doing a craft of all the tools to break out from the blazement
Coming soon: How to keep writers locked up yet productive by Simon ft. Danny, Sam, and possibly Kevin.
Coming later: Simon adds a plethora of editors to the basement. Will the writers eat them? Will they survive? WATCH AND FIND OUT!!!
Not possibly Kevin, but allegedly Kevin
Is Jen kept down there too?
Hopefully Dave too.
How did your writter miss the worst one of all? The one that encouraged people to take apart their microwave and use it to electrically burn wood which actually killed people and when another UA-camr tried to make a video warning people about it then UA-cam took down the warning video
Yes! "How to Cook That", a way better channel where you learn how to actually do the thing safely... if it's worth doing.
@@wordforger YEEEEESSSSSS!!! Bless Ann Reardon!
To be fair, UA-cam took down the warning video because (once they became aware of it) they were attempting to quickly take down _all_ the videos which talked about doing that sort of thing, because they did recognize it as a legitimate safety issue that needed to be addressed ASAP before more people were hurt or killed. The warning video just got caught up in the whole thing because somebody didn't look at it closely enough to realize it was actually advocating against it, not promoting it.
Several of the warning videos done by multiple people were later reinstated, after they looked at them more carefully (and can still be found today).
AFAIK, none of those wood fracking videos were promoted by any of the big-name hack/craft channels, though (which was really the point of this video). Even they had the sense to stay away from that mess.
To be even more fair, it only modifies idiots. People that actually understand what needs to be in place to do such things safely, aren't killed by microwave transformers or anything else for that matter.
It's only funny when those conditions aren't met.
As excitable as Simon can be, it makes me INCREDIBLY nervous that he just left that knife stuck in the table with the blade facing his hand. One wild gesticulation and it's a trip to the hospital.
Checked the comments to make sure I wasn't the only one feeling really nervous about this 😂
"Need to know how to change a lightbulb? You're doomed and you probably shouldn't be allowed internet access."
Had me 😂.
Then how will I ever learn how to change a lightbulb?
@@oracleofdelphi4533 😂😂
How many therapists does it take to change a lightbulb? Well, you’ll be pleased to know it only takes 1 therapist but the lightbulb really must want to change itself.
We have ChoreMonkey for that now
i once tried to change a lightbulb
the bulb was apparently quite old
as it was removed and note i said removed as the screw stayed in the socket
apparently the solution is turn off the light and shove a carved potato in the socket and then change the potato
i needed the internet because i needed to change a unusual lightbulb
99% of the time i don't need a potato
The best part of this reaction channel is that Simon doesn't even know what he is reacting to until he gets started
Reaction channel feels like you are horribly cheapening what he does
I'd quite like to know the story behind why Simon hides an absolute Crocodile Dundee of a knife on his desk during these videos
It's from a sponsor. I forget what it was, it's the one that delivers boxes of cool stuff with various themes. One of those themes is knives.
@@maledictionwolf Thanks, I also wondered why he had that knife on the desk. (But he is neither hiding it nor is it Dundee sized.)
@@maledictionwolfat's the excuse the basement door is across from the camera and the knife is for if the writters try and escape lock up
@@tubensalat1453 both were clearly exaggerations for the sake of humour, you party pooper.
As a crafter, I'm highly susceptible to these types of videos so i have be diligent about not letting them creep into my algorithm. By my estimate, about 1/10 of the craft ones are helpful.
My kids got into 5 minute crafts at the beginning the pandemic. I watched a bit of it.
Your 1/10 is being quite generous. 🤣
Definitely have to go incognito mode before going down those rabbit holes, otherwise every recommendation and targeted ad for years will assume you have a deep interest in that garbage.
If you remove a video from your watch history, it's not included in your algorithm
@@Spencer-wc6ew I don't know how people know these things, but that's a good tip, thanks.
A long time ago, I watched 2 different DIY videos. One was how to wash utensils by hand, the other was about how to send a fax. Now, showing people how to fax was fine, until he demonstrated how to fax so many different countries.He did this by using the same instructions as before. Over and over again 😂.
I love how the knife has become Simon's blaze sidekick.
I prefer eba
You can prevent onion tears by running cold water over your knife as you use it. The cooler knife with a little water on it helps reduce the spray upwards towards your face. It's not perfect but it helps a bit.
I've found breathing in through your mouth and out through your nose is the most effective method for preventing tears.
The acid in onions is irritating the nasal passage and specifically the receptors that detect smell, so by breathing in through your mouth you're minimising the spray reaching those sensitive areas, and breathing out through your nose pushes out any vapour that manages to make it inside the nose.
I’ve made the mistake of watching a couple of videos, showing how to make useless things by ruining perfectly useful things, and it was a mistake driven by curiosity. Like “what the heck is he going to do with the toilet seat and PVC pipes?” type of thing.
Well done Danny! Put a nice and long intro in there without Simon even noticing! That's why we love you!❤
2:30 - Mid roll ads
4:25 - Back to the video
6:35 - Chapter 1 - Troom troom
12:25 - Chapter 2 - 5 min crafts

PS 1: I propose we call them Doom or Dumb It Yourself !
PS 2 : Fun fact, in France we have something called *System D* that can be defined as _ability to think quickly, to adapt, and to improvise when getting a job done_ . One of its descendants is *Bricolage* the french (and much useful) equivalent to DIY!
Huh... The init system "systemd" makes so much sense now.
How are these channels not sued for telling people to do dangerous things?
probably cause that concept only exists in the United States
Suing made everything expensive in the United States. No wonder medical charges are extremely high. Just in case some Karen charges for medical malpractice for some minor injury, hospitals need to cover their legal costs.
They do get sued!
Generally, because they never actually _tell_ anyone to do dangerous things. They're just presented "for entertainment purposes". And most of the hacks aren't _blatantly_ dangerous, either, they just fall into the category of "probably not a good idea because nobody really knows what might happen".
You also generally have to have somebody who was _actually_ seriously harmed before they can (successfully) sue anyone (not just "someone theoretically might be harmed someday")
@@triadwarfare
That's not at all why. Medical charges are so ridiculously high because the medical industry is a giant business that found out you can charge thousands of dollars for life saving medication and procedures because people have no choice but to pay for them.
A galvanized shock is when the presence of different metal alloys in the oral cavity influences induction and creates an adverse effect of an electrochemical reaction. The metallic restorations act as electrodes, while the saliva and crevicular fluid act as electrolytes. If you have the cheap fillings chew on foil, it's torture. I've accidently left foil from candy and almost cried.
Honestly, the 5 minute channel is just serving as natural selection. Props to profiting off that
I would buy a t shirt or Simon screaming "let's go" about to perform a trachatomy
I love the idea of Simon, in his kitchen, chopping onions with a pair of ski goggles over his glasses.
Learned from a botanist who is also a quite skilled chef, 2 useful ways to stop your eyes from watering when cutting an onion
1) put it in the freezer for a minute or two to cool the cells that Burt’s releasing them chemical that causes it.
2) keep a wet rag near by because the chemical is attracted to moisture
I am guilty of watching 5 min crafts as one watches a train wreck, with a healthy dose of morbid curiosity
If it would have cut away to a shot of Simon happily cutting onions in ski goggles, I'd give you all the likes
I prefer my conspiracy theory that these terrible DIY channels are the new Numbers Stations transmitting coded messages to spies.
Here's a real tip that you can use with toothpaste. If you have silver to polish instead of using the chemicals found in silver polish, just use toothpaste. Because it is a detergent and has a mild abrasive, it cleans silver wonderfully. It is really good on those pieces of silver with etched designs. Just slightly wet the piece you wish to clean and add a small amount of paste with your fingers and rub it in the silver until all the tarnish is gone. Do this for the whole piece you wish to clean. Rinse with cool water till all the toothpaste has been rinsed off. Towel dry when done.
Discovered that by accident Years ago! Smells better than polish also😊
I am a remodel contractor and I LOVE walking into a project that a homeowner started because they took a course at UA-cam University and decided it was easy before realizing that they were in over their heads.
I recently turned a shed into a tiny home Air BnB for a couple who started it themselves. I had to undo 50% of their work before even getting started.
Scarier part is remodeling contractors go on YT to fake knowing HVAC,plumbing etc. I've caught remodel contractor on YT while half the kitchen was torn apart from trying to add dedicated line for microwave
I’ve has similar when working on old motorcycles, you end up undoing other peoples bodges which are usually more expensive and longer to do than doing the job right in the first place. Both of my old bikes are totally reliable because they have been nut and bolt restored, so no previous owner bodges to contend with.
Thank you to everybody who works on these videos they help me get through my day ❤
Like John Rambo?
They 're not doing it by their own free will, probably. Did you see the size of that knife?
I have a pair of swimming goggles in my kitchen drawer to deal with onion tears 😂 I feel seen, thanks Simon.
Hey, me too!
Waste of time. Just store the bloody onions in the refrigerator 🤦♂️ no spraying juices no weepy eye time 😂
@@134StormShadow they spoil faster in the fridge! Plus I love to mortify my teenagers 😁 Works for me!
The think about life hacks type videos is that there's only so much useful stuff like using a soda can tab to hold your straw steady. Eventually you get to a point where you've covered everything actually useful and time saving and have to start making a toothpaste dispenser out of like 62 different objects and 7 hours of work instead of just squeezing the tube.
We're going to get to a point where Simon uses his actual bed as a set for recording, so he can be more efficient at hosting so many channels
Simon breaks out that big knife once in awhile to keep his "guests" in line and remind them just who the Bearded Boss is.
The canister is prolly from a like whipcreen co2 canister, pastry chef hit you with that razzzle dazzle! gastronomic is an interesting form of culinary
Punished “Venom” Whistler, all that’s missing is the eyepatch. 😂
WE TALKED ABOUT THIS
The pandemic lockdown left people in the USA starved for something to watch. That's how I found you and started watching all your content
I always love the theory vs. practice duality of novel craft ideas. Even when I come up with my own crafts to try (and though I try to stick to proven techniques) I always wow myself with how many complications I run into. By the way, I'm making a faux leather centipede plush doll as I watch this.
It's basically put a fake thumbnail up, have people watch it in full to try to find said thumbnail, then have them complain about not having the thumbnail picture in the video, ultimately boosting it up on the algorithm
I've lately been binging and going down the Jarvis Johnson rabbit hole watching him react to these types of things; gotta love the shout out to him! The man with the premium channel, that is free, but if you watch it you're premium ❤
I genuinely believe that our resident Fact Boy loved being able to destroy these DIY channels but I feel like Danny is subtly hinting that he is going to DIY himself an escape route with bananas and toothpaste.
The saw/drill thing was a bit on the Red Green Show, a long running Canadian comedy show. It had a Handyman Corner bit where the main character would teach you how to do things with stuff laying around your house in obviously horrible ideas. A lot of them involved sawing bits off your car and duct taping stuff to it.
Simon telling his tale about him having ice cream in a restaurant just shows what a different life he leads to most of us! But you deserve weird ice cream if that's you like Simon, love your delivery and humour!
Now I'm picturing Simon doing weird kids UA-cam.
I would so sign up to a Patreon and be Simon's new business daddy
… hilariously, I’ve actually had grilled cheese made the “hacked” way described here - it’s apparently a semi-common thing among people who go to a lot of conventions (since hotel rooms will have a fridge for perishables and an iron, but no cooking implements)
Still don’t recommend it over… literally any other means of procuring foodstuffs, but it’s not the WORST thing these channels have ever put out…
If someone is traveling, they usually eat out, and if they intend to cook at the hotel(which seems weird) I'd think they are going to have a hotplate with them
I fell asleep watching a list of Simon’s videos. When I woke up 8hrs later it was still rolling. I wondered house much I helped Simon’s channel by accident.
Many people have tried to get UA-cam to do something about these content farms that promote dangerous “hacks” to kids but YT is morally corrupt
Anyone else think Simon is AI generated? There's no way one person can be on this many channels with this much content. And the beard is too perfect.
Not AI, undead actually. That way he doesnt have to sleep. Its not a coincidence that there are no windows in the studio.
Sam, Danny, and God knows how many others aren't writers, the better the script, the less they have to "donate" to keep the beard glossy.
Or possibly clones. (Vampire clones?!?)
@@blackc1479see this theory I can get behind. He rarely eats, preferring to drink liquids for sustenance... hates when the sun comes through the window and touches him... Okay, new conspiracy, Simon is a vampire
There was s movie where a guy cloned himself so the clone could go to work and he could have free time.
Each new clone of a clone developed a more unusual personality.
Perhaps the real question is what number is this clone?
not AI generated but I did thought he was an actor that gets paid for hosting youtube content scripted for him, just checked on imdb and he seems listed as producer on all those channels but not sure if the site automatically tags the face of a youtube channel as producer
@@kizufgsfdsbro he started these channels but he does only read scripts now
My favourite Troom Troom video is "How I Fell in Love With My Kidnappers." Also fun fact, The Soul Company behind 5 Minute Crafts is the 6th most profitable media company in the world. Disney is 7th
Danny is right about sleeper accounts, at least on old Twitter.
12:00 "...forced against their will to make videos in some kind of weird UA-cam dungeon..."
Blink twice if you need Interpol to smash through those brick UA-cam dungeon walls, Simon! :P
Not all craft videos are crap.
Very true. LaurDIY has never suggested to anyone they use a hot glue gun to whiten their teeth 😂
14:51 Some toothpastes will dry up a zit overnight, but it has to have a particular ingredient
MacGyver: the OG DIY life hack channel.
Simon's commentary on how these channels became how they are is basicaly exactly what happened to The Blaze
#OGBB #OGLC
Most definitely.. 😛💔
Simon needs a DIY channel haha
Simon’s new channel: Simon recreates 5 minute crafts videos while going on long, winding tangents and failing terrifically while doing so.
You are correct about the jeans chair being impossible. Jenna Marbles tried it on her channel, just for fun and knowing it wouldn't work. Sure enough, it was a disaster. A hilarious disaster well worth the watch, of course.
Got to respect Troom Troom for continuing to churn out consistent garbage content while living in a war zone at risk of annexation and nuclear devastation.
America is making record profits l. They're fine. If America enters a recession again, that's when Ukraine will be fucked.
Smash that diy button
On the sandwich vs iron entry. You absolutely can make a great toastie with and iron.
During COVID, my youngest and I were put in one hotel and my ex husband and our eldest child were put in another hotel. We were reported as being in a room with a kitchen. We had no kitchen. We had a tiny bar fridge and a moldy kettle. Due to lack of staff, our local shop didn't have much in stock so when I was able to I got bread, cheese, butter, ham, and aluminum foil. I made up a sandwich, wrapped it in the foil and used the iron to cook it. It was actually pretty good.
Simon if you keep your onions in the refrigerator you'll never have to wear goggles.
that's my 2 second food hack 😄
Or just not cut the root, where most of the stuff that makes you tear up comes from. Tbh, I've rarely had problems cutting onions.
Oh my gosh, I got so excited, the clip at 4:47 of the hyper-rapid typing looked so familiar, the outfit, and the fingers, and the emblem, and then I realized that's Best Girl Yuki Nagato!
The 5 minute crafts people have clearly been to prison. Toothpaste in jail is widely used as substitute for dozens of purposes from glue, to skin creams of various kinds to fillers, blutac, various weights, paint, flavor enhancer, retrieval lines, bug traps, anti-slip surficants, etc etc. Sometimes you'll even find the odd prisoner use it as a handy form of detergent to clean their teeth with.
One DIY channel I see (not a hacks channel) shows a lot of expensive DIY that sometimes is not as expensive as buying the thing, sometimes the result is quite good and will never look as good when you do it yourself unless you are a carpenter or something. The month after the PS5 was released, the guy showed at least 3 videos on how to void your warranty, two of which were uploaded the same week it was released.
It's not just UA-cam. I remember reading a "how to" book from the library in the 90's. They had some interesting things like making fire logs made out of newspaper dipped in various chemicals to change the color of the fire (green flame was copper). The one that REALLY took the cake was the "electric hot dog cooker". To assemble it required a peice of wood, 2 long nails, 4 short nails, 4 bottle caps, and one wire with electric prongs. I won't post the instructions here but I remember the book saying in all capital bold faced letters "DO NOT TOUCH HOT DOG WHILE PLUGGED IN!!!"
People come up with some crazy shit sir... it's just more accessible nowadays.
"Why do I have a saw?" He says, with a hunting knife is stuck in the table next to him.
I love how the knife keeps showing up in these vids. I feel like it needs a name now
Mr Stabby, or Knifey McKnifeface
Funny that this video came up after I just recently started following a DIY channel. It shows how to repurpose old tech around the house or how to build certain things cheaply. Started watching since I recently got a soldering kit.
For onion tears, my mom saw this hack of where you keep the onion in the fridge and that helps. But if you don't have time to refrigerate your onion, safety goggles like the kind used in chemistry class work well too.
Been going through yeeears old blaze videos and just jumped to this recent one and my god the audio quality is insanely better now
I should note if you fall asleep while UA-cam plays it starts playing ads that are 2 hours long, music videos for bands you've never listened to etc. I feel this is being used to up view counts. Like UA-cam is using your stream to up views for channels but using ads so it doesn't mess with your algorithm
The toothpaste on pimple “hack” has been around for decades, long before the internet. I first heard it at school in the ‘70’s.
It's because putting toothpaste has agents that can absorb the oil from pimples. So you place the toothpaste on the pump and then place a plaster on top. But it's not an instant fix and will dry out your skin around the area.
And I don't think all toothpastes have the agent so it only works with specific types.
Very good reason why restrictions for kids content were added. Children can't consent to data collection, which is a major factor of making money.
If stabbing the desk is the new script slap, I'm all here for it, but Simon needs to sell more beard oil and Rotting Turtle to replace his desks.
16:55 Grilled cheese with an iron is a super old gimmic. I think they did it in Benny & Joon back in 1993.
the denim cushion chair is a neat idea. Just use old worn out jeans and if there are any holes I would use fun little fabric squares to patch up the holes and instead of staples, sew the thing shut. So yeah, that's how I would DIY the denim chair.
I learned welding, machining, 3d printing, sewing, woodworking and electronics from UA-cam in a way I couldn't possibility have learned through books or would have taken an unreasonable amount of courses. It's really easy to distinguish the good from the bad and the click bait.
I've used a drill to do minor saw work a bunch of times. Usually when I'm up on a scaffold somewhere with a drill and my saw is a long way away. It's useful for removing a small amount of material in a pinch.
Currently at a saturday evening party whith this video going in the background... The awkward silence after EVERY guy here suddenly all together perked up and looked at the TV when the "FunTube" intro played... priceless wathching them all being questioned by their GFs right afterwards. X3
11:00 Galvanic Shock: "Galvanic shock or oral galvanism is a term used for the association of oral symptoms due to electric currents occurring between different types of metal used in amalgam dental fillings and their interactions with the electrolytes in saliva."
I had to look it up because i wasnt aware but yes having electricity run through your mouth does sound slightly dangerous.
Related to your surf shark advert.
Modern Netflix locks your account to your internet connection. It's supposed to stop account sharing, but I'm wondering what it does if you connect through a VPN, because in theory that's connected through a different connection too.
there REALLY should be a global idiocy tax for people who make and use the internet for frivolous idiocy. education, retail, and government sites should be 100% free, but anything outside that should be taxed.
Ann Reardon ( How to Cook That) does a lot of debunking videos about 5 Minute Crafts. A lot of that stuff is so extremely dangerous and sometimes deadly.
I read once in a really old cookbook made by some church or other that you can avoid the onion tears by dipping the onion in scalding water before cutting it. In nearly twenty years i still haven't actually tried it yet. I did find out how to cut watermelon into cubes and the best way to fold a t shirt from life hack videos though...
The first 5min craft video I saw showed you how to make a diamond with a hot charcoal briquette stuck in peanut butter and put in the freezer overnight. The "diamond" they showed was larger than the original briquette.
That "advertising thing" was the government going "you can't collect data on children that's an invasion of privacy" and suing youtube.
This man has so many youtube channels that every time I'm recommended a new one I'm like "yo is that Simon AGAIN?"
I can't tell you how many times I try to look up "how to do (insert knitting/crochet technique here)" on YT, and the technique they're showing isn't possible unless you have 4 arms & are double-jointed.
So the iron thing does work. I did that to make quasodillas in the barracks because we didn’t have stoves but what you do is you melt the cheese a little first with the microwave and or the foil and then put it on the tortilla and keep the heat lower and do it longer
Do not make your own sunglasses. Sunglasses made in the EU and US have a UV coating by law because just using tinted glass/ plastic causes your iris to open wider and as tinted glass/ plastic only blocks out the visible spectrum, the invisible UV light can burn your retina because your iris is open wider than usual while wearing the darker glasses.
There's also a weird trend of cooking videos where they do everything out in nature. Instead of just having a lovely view in the background, they decide to chop their ingredients in the middle of a stream.
Personally I prefer the debunking videos such as those by Ann Reardon.
I'd say the bigger issue is diy/hack videos that are really dangerous (some of which have caused death), and the 'child' content of having cute visuals against age inappropriate audio (stories of murders and rapes) which parents won't notice because most kids are wearing headphones.
With the advent of modern automated advertising advertisers no longer worry about being associated with bad content. The downside is that snake oil salesmen no longer even need to keep a stock of physical snake oil when the content is the snake oil.
I just keep my mouth closed and breathe through my nose when cutting onions. Can't remember the last time onions bothered me and I dice onions at least once or twice a week.
I, too, now find myself wondering. "Why do I have a saw?" The greatest mystery of our time; one the philosophers will truly ponder for centuries to come.
How to prevent onion tears: sharpen your knife first. A sharp knife cuts through the onion, a dull one smashes through it, squirting the onion juice into the air.
Sharper knives are safer too, since they won't get stuck and slip!
Damn it Simon!! The very first ad during this video was a diy ad for making a fancy sidewalk😮
