You know what I love about internet videos? You can witness people try stupid and dangerous things through the complete safety and comfort of your computer. Case in point: dangerous microwave experiments. Recently, Mehdi Sadaghdar of YouTube channel ElectroBOOM did us all a service and caught on camera the result of microwaving metal. The answers may be less surprising than you think! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyTmJX_TC84&ab_channel=ElectroBOOM Contrary to popular belief, popping any sort of cutlery into the microwave isn’t dangerous at all! Mehdi tried multiple variations and orientations of spoons, knives, and forks. The result? None of them caught a single spark or flame. They got heated, that’s for sure, but so does…
To get you ready for the spooky festive season, YouTuber The Q has thought of a way to quadruple your Halloween costume points. How? By creating four skeleton doppelgangers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5dq8-4wUI8&ab_channel=TheQ Making the Skeletal Framework Making the bodies of the skeletons requires a bunch of PVC pipes, some pipe fittings, and a few hooks. Cut the pipes using your body measurements as a basis, so the skeletons could have the same body dimensions as yours. Connect these pipes using the fittings until you have yourself 4 identical rib cages. Arms, Legs, and Appendages To get your skeletons to move, you’ll need some hooks placed on the edges of the upper and…
Some might say that 3D printers are just for printing things. Well, Steven from 3D Printer Academy found another use for his own unit: simulating an actual earthquake. Using the ground motion data of the 6.7 magnitude Northridge earthquake which occurred on January 17, 1994 in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, he was able to recreate the exact motions of the quake on his 3D printer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzvmHa8yw7o&ab_channel=3DPrinterAcademy Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper earthquake simulation without any damage. So to help with his mini-quake demonstration, he employed the use of some magnetic supports, a couple of 3D printed platforms and bricks, and a single LEGO mini-figure. His…
You can play id Software’s classic game Doom using the most unexpected things such as McDonald’s cash registers and calculators. But now, here’s another surprise: it’s now available on Twitter. Tweet2Doom, created by Georgi Gerganov with art by Yanknov Kras (assuming that is his real name), is a Twitter bot that lets you input a series of commands by replying to any tweet. The full list of commands can be found on the following pinned tweet. Once you’ve typed in your commands, the bot will reply back with a 10-second rendered video of what you’ve done. Your commands must run a minimum of 18 frames (this version of Doom runs…
According to Internet meme culture, really strong people only need to make one grocery-carrying trip to and from the car. But even if that’s true, you could end up with smashed fruits and veggie items or even bruised fingers. So, yes, it isn’t an elegant way of carrying your sustenance, nor is it practical. Nonetheless, instead of considering carrying your grocery bags one by one, why not consider having this handy modular bag? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIEvqG429IE&ab_channel=UltixOutdoors SuperCarrier 2.0 is a reusable modular bag with pockets and compartments for days. They can be used for storing food, drinks, and whatever else you need at any given time. Depending on your situation, you can…
Removing sand, dirt, and other dry debris in low-pile carpets can be done with a reliable vacuum. Stains, however, are another thing. There are lots of businesses that can offer rental carpet cleaners or you can hire a pro to do this for you every year, but those options are not cost-efficient in the long
