Not only is the truth is not clickable, it seems like the truth is also pay-walled. A lot of news sites require subscriptions now because they don't make anywhere near the revenue as websites with "click-baitable news".

Only time it is "clickable" is when there is a legitimate tragedy.

One can make the truth clickable, but some truths will outright cancel any person saying it.

Hmm, very different from my grandmother, who’d use just ‘one spoon of soft soap’ and a bucketload of water to wash the entire house.

wow and here i am learning all the cleaning tips from my grandma 🤣

@@griffenspellblade3563 bleach and vinegar will give you chlorine gas, too. Ditch the chorine bleach and go for peroxide based bleaches for laundry and spray alcohol for cleaning surfaces.

Honestly when I heard that I had to pause the video because I could not compute someone saying that. In fact, I find it so unbelievable that I think either this was a deliberate attempt to spread misinformation (which, if it’s the case… How evil can you be really) or just someone spouting the dumbest sh*t they know to get reactions in the comments.

That title sounds like something My Story Animated farm channel would come up with...their titles are all over the place. Not in a good way either...

@@NatLaS likely someone reading stories from Reddit. There are entire pages dedicated to such stories and lots of creators on KZfaq who read them

@@AlwaysAmTired I thought about that, but if it was a Reddit story it wouldn't say "Its more dangerous standing on an empty highway than getting in a car with a stranger at night" because that person would get downvoted like crazy and probably wouldn't get much traction anyway. I think this was a deliberate attempt to trigger people so they'd comment (good in the eyes of the algorithm) and dislike (because dislikes don't matter, they're still a reaction and that's also good in the eyes of the algorithm). Just a scummy thing to do, I hope karma gets that person and I hope it bites them hard.

@@NatLaS I think it’s a deliberate attempt at brainwashing. Someone has an agenda. KZfaq has no trouble censoring some channels, why leave that garbage up?😕

It can create toxic fumes that kill people, so true. People tend to overestimate how much of cleaning a cleaning product they need, they are so concentrated you really don't need much to kill bacteria and remove dirt and isn't that the goal?

Why would people see this a a ‘hack”? It looks harder.

@@justaminute3111 Yeah I dont know what they were doing. I clean 20 toilets a night for a solid year on one can of Comet.

its literally mustard gas, like?? at most i use comet and some toilet gels to keep smells out. and very rarely use bleach and the pink stuff if i need a good scrubbing. otherwise, i try to keep it to a bare, not for money. but for the sake of my damn lungs and animals. also i think some people should be highly aware of over using products in your laundry, and smell good supplies. i see these videos of people using SO MUCH products in a simple load of laundry, and i doubt they understand that you dont need that much! (softer, tide pods, those bead things you throw in the washer, fabric sheets) It seems people truly do ignore warnings.

@@williamjenkins4913 that sounds abit of a lie to me, me and my dad both go through a can of comet at least every 2 months. alittle less if we do major cleanings in sinks and bathtubs.

I had this before with bleach and chlorine, worst thing is my friend knew its not okay but she said its a must to kill the germs 🤦🏼‍♀️

I had this friend in my late 20’s that worked at a bar(she was in her early 20’s) and caused everyone to have to leave the bar because she was cleaning with ammonia and bleach at the same time. I learned not to mix chemicals early but there are still plenty of adults that don’t know that.

First thing my dad taught me was to never mix your cleaning chemicals, that's how you end up with mustard gas and a few extra things they used in WWI. The most deadly thing on the planet isn't humans, weapons or natural disasters. It is ignorance.

at the restaurant i used to work at, salad was chopped at the beginning of each day, and then stored in, i kid you not, a garbage bin in the walk-in fridge full of cold water. it worked-- the chopped lettuce stayed fresh and crisp-- but just... ew.

@@lindseydejesus1877 Unless you also stored garbage in it, isn't it just another container?

Plasmolysis is when a plant cell is losing water (for example by being in salt water or when wilting). Did you mean that the salad is undergoing plasmolysis and you are reversing it by giving it water (hypotonic solution)?

The grad student teaching assistants in a lab class mixed Dawn and bleach and then made fun of me when I smelled chlorine and yelled that we needed to evacuate.

@@splendidcolors Well, Dawn is just a surfactant. It won't react with bleach the way ammonia or an acid will. But if you don't know that, it's always better to err on the side of caution. So you did the right thing.

@@splendidcolors bleach slowly decomposes and fumes chlorine on it's own, especially when affected by light. This is where its distinguishable smell that irritate your eyes and lungs comes from.

@@eclectichoosier5474 well, surfactant will make bleach foam, which would increase it's evaporating surface area dramatically, which will result in more intensive bleach decomposition and forming of chlorine fumes. My throat and eyes hurt just as i think about it. It's probably not deadly yet, but i'd really prefer not to be where it is happening.

I know exactly which episode your talking about lol!

I always have to think of that episode.

I remember a Simpsons episode where Marge is trying to clean quickly and mixes Ammonia and Bleach to speed it up and passes out alone. If I remember right all goes well but it's SUPER deadly most of the time. And I saw a lot of these cleaning videos and was like "OH MY GOD WHY ARE THEY MIXING SO MANY THINGS?! THAT'S DANGEROUS!!!" and my friend [who shared it] told me to calm down it's not bad they do that all the time and I was like "how are you alive?"

I'm gonna bet that's the one where a girl wanted to murder her sister/friend but attempted to cover it up as suicide. She drugged them in the bathtub, sealed all the openings to the bathroom and mixed the cleaning supplies. It was failed with a plot twist. I wonder if Aoyama Gosho used the same tactics too in other cases, he did repeat some.

@@Crow_Smith I saw a king of the hill episode where Peggy had a little paper column for housekeeping tips and tricks, after running out of tips she tried to make more and thought of combining ammonia and bleach only to find out after sending it off that she'd just told a bunch of people to make the equivalent of mustard gas to clean their house. Luckily they stopped it from being printed but still it's made clear how bad it could've been. That's one of the many things I've seen that make me super nervous about mixing anything with very strong chemicals

Same

Lol as a kid, I did this at restaurants with leftover food (think the last of the dipping sauces mixed with the bottom remnants of watery soda, maybe mix in a little salt or hot sauce) while the adults continued talking.

@@YoGabbaGibbs I'd just casually drink sauce packets and disassociate before even know what that was lol

I used to mix dish soap together and try to see if I could make an invisibility potion 😭

Mixing cleaning products can be dangerous, but most of the time you're going to be fine-ish. People run out of a cleaning product and open another one all the time. Much of the time, nothing happens. (If you get two products that use the same formula for instance) Much of the rest of the time, people will see or smell something scary and get away from it before they sustain significant damage. It's dangerous, but you would probably be alive even if you had mixed cleaning chemicals. (I did my share of mixing cleaning chemicals as a kid and while it was not a good idea and was scary a few times, I'm alive and well-enough.)

Bleach+ammonia yields choramines, not mustard gas. It's not much better tho. Bleach+peroxide yields lots of hot oxygen, which can create violent fire hazard.

My mom got a chemical burn in her lungs mixing those together to clean.

That mixture is phosgene gas. It was used in ww1 and killed countless people.

Creates chloramines. Small amounts are used for disinfecting and killing germs in water. Inhaling the gas can kill. It's a good idea not to mix bleach with anything.

I ended up in the ER, mixing cleaning supplies, but not sure what they were. I know one was Comet, or Ajax, and I think the other was either Pine Sol, or a bathroom cleaner. I was cleaning the tub. Not sure what it was, but I couldn't breathe, and being mildly asthmatic, it affected me.

Vinegar and bleach does the same thing. It releases chlorine gas.

It's quite scary. I wouldn't be surprised if these were linked to human trafficking. It could be a new way to find a vulnerable child. This must be stopped.

Whatever those channels are they can't be trusted. I'm not entirely sure why you would want to sneak creepy stories to kids but that's not normal behavior

I've come across a handful of these on TikTok and I'm 90% certain that they're not actively targeting kids. It's super common on the platform to reuse sounds like they are memes, but a lot of diy/craft/baking content creators use the most outrageous stories (be they funny, stupid, shocking or salacious) because it gets some people to stick around to listen rather than get bored partway through and leave. Its intended for older audiences, but there's no way to control who sees it. It absolutely is a problem for young kids on the platform who are more drawn to the actual video and then are subjected to inappropriate stories. TikTok's algorithm is a black box with no parental controls or oversight features and no one should be allowing young kids to use the app. I won't even use it around my niece and nephew because i have no way to know what the next video may be or let alone if it's age appropriate

There’s videos like that also on KZfaq Shorts!! I know because I watched a few… yeah, woops. The fast cakemaking and voice is mesmerizing, but don’t do it

I definitely recommend teaching your sister how to take charge of, and customize the media she consumes. Like, watch the baking videos she likes on mute, while listening to stories or music that she likes with another window or device. 👍

The problem is that when you have many orders the cake trimmings add up and you end up with more than you can handle, so it can be annoying or wasteful. Sometimes you don’t have the time/energy to make cakepops after the cakes 🤗

@@sarangeonew If you have extras you better be using them for something especially if they're coming in bulk! lol. Cakepops will do or if you really don't have the energy try taking them to a local homeless shelter or something to donate the leftovers? Someone will eat them :]

It seemed to me that that hack would've worked with shorter tins, or more cake batter. None of the cakes had enough space to rise and fill the cake tin IMO. Definitely save the trimmings if you're just baking at home though.

She was on the radio today. She didn't start the channel to make money but as a pastime. It shows in her outlook on everything.

Yes, Ann explains like we are smart enough but also so that we can learn. That's a hard balancing act.

Mr. Rogers did this sort of thing all the time, too. That is, the not talking down part. I haven't watched much of his wonderful show for a long time, so I don't recall all of it. He'd sometimes show documentary footage of things like bubblegum factories, but I don't know if he explained why some things are dangerous? Maybe he did, but as I said, I've not seen many episodes of his TV show for a long while.

@@blackleague212 Who are you to criticize Ann for warning people against dangerous content they didn't know about? I don't know who "Mr. Beast" is, so fair enough that *I don't know him.* But _if_ he's lacking integrity somewhere, I don't care how "big and fun" that specific video is; he's gotta take it down and/or correct it, instead of "mooching" off people's sanity and safety. Or there *will* be consequences... Eventually. BTW, she was and is making content that's not about debunking. But she's also known as the debunking lady who doesn't exactly roast with the fury of 500,000 nuclear warheads. Be glad it's someone who's not a lot worse, this isn't Nazi Germany's ill-will "we'll make an example out of your frightened posterior because you didn't obey" trials. I won't go into detail about that here. BTW, correcting someone who's on the wrong track (to destruction) is not *"Hating"* on anyone, provided that the correction has merit. If "Mr. Beast" makes rock-solid good content that can't harm anyone, fine, I hope he has a great career. But in this world, mistakes get made a lot. I hope you don't think my comment was aimed only to you specifically, I had to go into more detail for anyone else who could be reading. In short: 1: What's the big deal about someone correcting another if it has merit? 2: I don't know Mr. Beast, and I can't judge his actions accurately because of that. If he has a hole in integrity somewhere, it ought to be known and avoided, and he ought to take care of it. 4: Ann does make content that's not just about debunking. 5: Ann's not exactly Nazi Germany here. 6: Correcting people (when the correction is merited) is not evil. 7: I wrote this comment for more people than just you.

@@blackleague212 "Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; but righteousness delivers from death." - Proverbs 10:2 What did you hope to accomplish by insulting my hobby if you have no way, means, or cause to refute my argument? Calling me a "nazi" too, and insisting that you're right... I hope you get out of that trap you're in before it's too late and it engulfs you, it ain't fun out there, I know. "The way of the wicked is as darkness; they have no idea what they're stumbling on." "A lying tongue is but for a moment, but the lip of truth lasts forever." - Proverbs 12:19 "A man shall be commended according to his wisdom; *but he who's of a perverse heart shall be despised." - Proverbs 12:8 Seriously, I don't know what terrible thing has its hooks in you, but you really need to get out and away from all of its evil effects and stimulants.

@@blackleague212 Seriously though, what's with you? I even said "If 'Mr. Beast' makes rock-solid good content that can't harm anyone, fine, I hope he has a great career. But in this world, mistakes get made a lot." That's because there *is* evil content in the world that presents itself as "fun and wholesome," and sure, I don't know whether or not he's messing with that because I never looked into it. You still haven't made any good arguments to the contrary. I haven't edited my original comment. I admitted I don't know Mr. Beast in the opening paragraph, & your conduct is not giving me or anyone else reading a good impression that you have any quality are care for people you disagree with, but only angry insults of a hormonal 12 year old in the bad part of town. I didn't write my comment *against* you, I wrote it *for* you, whether you yet realize it or not. Insulting someone's hobby out of the blue, instead of refuting an argument, is not a means of quality living. You only made yourself look bad, and also made your perception of people who are attempting to care for you into a nightmare. And sure, I felt bad too *for a moment* because you insulted me for no good reason, but that moment has already gone. *You owe me and yourself an apology.* Your reply was meant only to hurt me, but this isn't my first rodeo. Not that I expect an apology to come from you, if you're still full of knee-jerk reactions (and maybe embarrassment.)

I remember watching 5 minute crafts when I was younger. I didn’t doubt a thing they did and actually wanted to try some of it out. I never did try any of the “hacks” and I eventually forgot about the channel until I stumbled across this one.

@@SweetCandyDragon but the early 5 min craft vids were good

I was looking for this comment. Thinking a plant can absorb bacteria in... I mean the plant would absorb them while still in the soil then.

The recrisping segment could use a revisit/clarification. Yeah, uh, a significant amount of fresh produce sold in a large store is misted frequently, getting it wet at home doesn't magically make it contaminated. And working in a chain store subjected to health department rules, we do crisp greens like that on a regular basis. Slice the end, soak in cold water for an hour or two, and that's it. No one's telling you to soak clearly gone off or mushy greens, crisping is for like, mildly wilted or droopy cases. And you should be washing produce you bring home anyway. Many people today don't have the luxury of throwing out safe to eat but mildly ugly food.

@@seffaflotus One of the reasons we keep having E. coli outbreaks related to lettuce etc. is that the plants DO absorb the bacteria from the soil. For example, if the farmworkers picking greens don't have access to a bathroom and do a #2 in the field (possibly because they *are* sick).

@@splendidcolors The plants don't absorb the bacteria into their tissue. It remains on the surface. Leafy greens are bad because they have textures that are hard to completely wash and because people often don't wash them well enough.

Yeah I didn’t really get her logic with that one. If what Ann said was accurate, then how do you rinse your greens to clean them? Bacteria has also definitely gotten into the inner leaves too from the whole process of farm to kitchen so it’s not just the outer ones you have to worry about. You should be fine just rinsing your greens off with some water or eating greens that have been in sitting water for a bit. You’re likely not going to ingest a bacteria that will get you sick. Not every head of lettuce automatically has E. coli and some bacteria that will get you super sick. It’s just that if an outbreak of those does occur, than you just shouldn’t buy it or discard any that you recently bought because you likely won’t be able to rinse out the bacteria due to all the small grooves in your greens where bacteria will settle and avoid being rinsed off

You see all the same problems with every other even remotely similar platform. KZfaq is has strong financial incentives to make this work (as advertisers run away anytime anything looks even slightly controversial) and yet they're doing at best 'barely okay'. The reason why clearly criticizing is still good and should be applauded is because it helps when problems KZfaq to get their problems framed in clear and diverse ways. For every voice that screams "youtube should ban even remotely dangerous videos" there will be a voice screaming "who the f*** is youtube to decide whether I am capable of doing something safely". And both voices are valid, and KZfaq is trying to find a path through that entire mess.

@@sengarde6541 Not just Chinese apps, many linked to US apps do as well. I have a fake profile/phone/email purely for using with these apps.

@@sengarde6541 But China being your enemy country isn't it unsafe? Our country has banned Tiktok for security purpose as Chinese company was taking too much information.

Moreover, the content seems to be for kids from a Western perspective, but Chinese short video social media does not have the same habits - so many videos seemingly childish for some adult westerners are just the run-of-the-mill entertainment content for millions of people.

Those videos aren’t even meant for kids. It’s meant to give you something interesting to watch while listening to a story. (Quite literally referred to as a visual stim) Maybe people need to stop expecting the internet to raise their children for them.

I really hate those story vids. I sometimes accidentally click them and I instantly click off. It's disappointing when I see a cool dessert. Sure, I watch those weird roblox ones but there NOWHERE as seriously kids listening to murder mysteries

After talking to a number of computer experts I have discovered that while many US and Chinese sites require much the same amount of personal information - including personal phone numbers, locations and all sorts of other bits and pieces that can be used to scam the person downloading the app - but that the regulations in China are much much stricter than they are in the US where the information apparently often ends up for sale on the dark web to anyone willing to pay the price. That is the reason many of the US internet sites can't get permission to be seen in China, the security measures they would have to take are far far more stringent that they are in the US, and they are simply considered too lax with their safety measures when it comes to keeping peoples personal information safe. And I have noticed that particularly recently with more and more QR codes that keep asking you to scan them in only for you to then have to download an app to read/use the information. Some of the personal details they are asking for (and they are plainly NOT sites from anywhere in Asia) is downright scary in the amount of information they want (far more than my own government wants on its official sites). If you must use these apps - and I can see why people want to - then ensure you have a fake identity handy with an email address used solely for this purpose, if you can afford it a throwaway sim/phone for a number you can use and, ideally, one of the credit cards where you have to put money on before you can use them to buy anything. I have heard of people filling in the details and then finding they have had their bank accounts emptied because - and it was something where enough had been affected for a public warning to be made over here - the details collected so you could use the app were sold on to whoever wanted to pay for it. With disastrous results. At least the only problem I have had is a dozen or so spam calls almost daily on the cheap sim I used for the phone number. So I know the phone numbers were sold on to others even if nothing else was.

A lot of story time short stories over satisfying videos creators just steal or reuse the original creators footage, sometime's the og creator it's tagged in the caption, but more often than not it goes uncredited. For the personal info thing, it reminded me of Instagram, they ask for e-mail, acces to archives on your phone, camera, microphone, location, phone numer, etc. unfortunately its data that social media platforms use and monetiza the most

Ya I was pretty surprised hearing this thought process. Washing and soaking greens to crisp them up is pretty commonplace in my world.

Thank you!! I found myself rolling my eyes at that part. Produce is expensive, and wasting food just because it's a bit wilty is ridiculous. No amount of 'not-soaking' is going to help you if your veggies are already contaminated. Soaking veggies is a great way of giving them new life and preventing food wastage.

THANK YOU!!! I mean, really, she does tend to make random claims that can oftentimes be false. Every year, 100 billion pounds of trash are wasted in the US, so things like this can save a lot of waste. Think this kind of stuff through, Ann Reardon!

If sat the lettuce out overnight in a warm kitchen and didn't wash the leaves before using it, the risk of infection seems higher. Also, can the leaves actually draw bacteria up through the water?? Is e.coli going to keep reproducing within the lettuce leaf system?

There is a lot of extreme panic about food safety where there really doesn't have to be for some reason (well i can think of a few). Especially in the anglophone countries for some reason

She’s the sweet, loving mommy with the soothing voice who will come put a bandage on your boo-boo that you got from following a dumb “hack”, kiss it, and then swaddles you in a soft blankie.

Instead of a life hack, you get a death hack. …I'll see myself out.

@@Roses_and_Ashes Yes, you'll see yourself, or at least your insides, out. Because you'll be alive and fully conscious throughout the whole process. Pretty messed up stuff, that life hacking.

Talk about a life hack...

Life hack? More like death hack

My father almost mixed bleach and ammonia one day while cleaning the bathroom. It took me explaining that covid is more resistant to bleach than dawn dish detergent to get him to finally stop using bleach to clean everything (It was irritating my stepmother's lungs too.)

yeah my sister in law did something similar she was cleaning her bathroom put bleach bathroom cleaner all over the toilet/counters etc and then decided that while it was sitting for a few minutes she'd clean the mirrors and windows with Windex which is amonia based and she had to go run out onto the balcony to get air because she'd gassed herself out.

I actually learned about this through a horror game xD In Silent Hill 3, there's a room where the protagonist is blocked from continuing by a bunch of bat creatures, too many to fight. To get through, she has to combine bleach and detergent in a bucket in the room, quickly leave, and use an industrial fan to air out the room. Boom - all the creatures are killed. Between the sounds she made fleeing the room and the absolute massacre inside afterwards, it really imprinted on teenaged me to never mix those things!

@@reid3031 Same. One of the reasons I never mix cleaning supplies (or anything else) unless it is specifically stated on the bottle that it is allowed. Otherwise..no mixing. XD

Bit freaky, but when I was young I used to really like the smell of the cupboard under our sink- i figured the smell came from the descaler and some other cleaning product we had and after a while, instead of taking whiffs of the cupboard I would mix tiny bits of the chemicals together for the smell- thank god someone found me doing it and told me it was dangerous- I fear I might have actually damaged my lungs because of the habit but I cant be too sure :/ (For clarification, I have completely quit the habit)

Can you tell me if what I'm doing is bad? When I'm cleaning the bathroom I mix Domex, bleach and laundry detergent together. The fumes aren't that bad because I put a little bit to a lot of water. But still.

@@havensohn3821 Not sure if you'll see this but here's your answer anyway: Mixing different kinds of surfactants (solid/liquid soaps, dishwashing/laundry detergents, "general purpose" cleaners) is generally safe and shouldn't produce any harmful fumes, but there's really no benefit to doing this over using such products individually in their recommended manner. Mixing them together will likely _reduce_ their effectiveness vs. using a single product diluted with hot water as per the instructions (with some exceptions, e.g. organic matter like blood or grass stains should be treated with cool water not hot). The big No-No is mixing in bleach. Chlorine/oxygen-based bleaches _should never be mixed with anything other than water_ . Both types of bleaches are designed to be highly reactive - that's why they work so well as cleaners/disinfectants - which means that when they're mixed with certain other cleaning products (cloudy ammonia being Enemy #1) there's a good chance that the instant chemical reaction will release some really nasty gaseous byproducts like chlorine and oxides of nitrogen. In a confined space like a small bathroom and at high enough concentrations this could easily be extremely harmful or even fatal. Cloudy Ammonia is a pretty old-school cleaning product that isn't used as much these days, but many cleaning products can still contain ammonia-like compounds which really should not be mixed with bleach. Bonus cleaning tips: If a surfactant product isn't shifting a stain/mark, try using a more concentrated solution or dilute it with really hot water and use rubber gloves to protect your hands (fact: the water is what's providing most of the solvent/surfactant action in 90% of cases anyway, hot water/steam is the most effective solvent known to man, the soap/detergent just helps the water do its thing). If this still doesn't work, the stain is water resistant so you'll need to try a hydrocarbon-based solvent e.g. methylated sprits, isopropyl alcohol or dry cleaning fluid. Sharpie ink and paint-like substances e.g. pigment-based printer ink will never come out with water alone but alcohol will remove the stain if it hasn't had time to fully dry.

Don't you learn chemistry in your school system?

@@havensohn3821 you're wasting your life cleaning, maybe ask yourself why you are so paranoid you'd use really strong chemicals like Domex!? I had to look that up bc it's not available in North America! As a British descendant don't worry, if you're a brit, no one will notice anyway, it's not like they clean either!

May I *also* remind you all that *The Green River Killer, Gary Ridgway,* lured some victims to their deaths by showing them a photograph of his kid? He had a job, he was married a few times, and he killed at least 49 women. He's the 2nd most prolific serial killer in North America by confirmed numbers. Oh, and when he was a 16 year old in 1965 - 1966, he lured a 6 year old into the woods and stabbed him in the liver. The kid survived.

Here in Brazil a man got kidnapped by a family with 2 kids, both of them very young ( about 8 yo). They were walking on the road under the rain and the poor man gave them a ride. After a few minutes, with the adults help, THE KIDS tried to kill him, break his fingers with a hammer, cut him etc... after hours of torture the family decides to set him on fire. He was so lucky that because of the rain they weren't able to start the fire, so he stills alive. Ps: happened 2 years ago

I always watch Ann. I watch Ozzy Man when I need to laugh or need a bit of cheering up 😏❤️

they also steal stories from reddit, like AITA very commonly and they don't even finish the story have the time

I felt excatly the same... i got scared and I am 39.

Those videos aren’t even meant for kids. It’s meant to give you something interesting to watch while listening to a story. (Quite literally referred to as a visual stim) Maybe people need to stop expecting the internet to raise their children for them.

I second this!

Agreed 100%

I can tell you as a teacher that my pupils love these videos

yes! i saw that and thought the same thing! also trimming cakes gives you cake scraps you can use to patch the cake if something goes wrong...or a snack while you're decorating. i don't even think i've ever seen the ace of cakes guys be able to make a cake that didn't requiretrimming

Okay I'm so glad someone else saw this too - as if those crumbly edges were the cake bottom!! UGH.

@@DanielleBaum also the trimmings are the tastiest part of the cake!

ngl that show is golden for so many reasons

My girlfriend has celiac, use plain sparking water when you bake. It makes stuff taste like “normal”.

Let us not mention the cookie disaster my older brother had when he tried substituting pea flour a few years back... 😢

Possibly they used all the same kinds of chemicals, safe to mix together. Or they actually just used different kinds of heavily colored soap (body wash? they can have those intense colors), maybe with a bit of laundry or disgwasher detergent (that powder had to come from somewhere). Maybe they actually had a chemical expert that reviewed their plans and gave them stuff.

Omg I’ve definitely used that combo before to clean my shower! Didn’t realise that might be super dangerous?

@oaktree_ I think the point though is that people watching (especially kids) might not know that, and could mix products at home without knowing the risks.. not concern for the people who made that video

@oaktree_ That doesn't really matter. I assume they don't mention what they use, so anyone watching could think "oh, I should mix all my cleaning supplies!" because that's what they think they saw, and then they do it and pass out or die. Like, even if the video isn't dangerous in itself, it can very easily create a bad situation.

Oh yeah, just what I need, a bracelet that'll shatter and/or slice me open the moment I accidentally smack it against a door frame!

i think we do deserve Anne, unless you work with 5 minute crafts yourself lol

What a negative/deprecating thing to say. I don't think Ann would approve, heh. 🙃

Thanks Macca Macca

I remember doing something similar years ago, using a glass cutter at a fixed height to create a weak point around the bottle, then (IIRC) hot and cold water to crack it. It worked quite well, with a bit of sandpaper to take off the minimal edges. Kept my paintbrushes in it until it lost an argument with an elbow and the floor... These videos that try the same thing with fire seem to go for spectacle and clickbait rather than practicality and... well, sanity. It's like making an 'introduction to woodcarving' video by swinging a chainsaw around on a length of rope.

Yes, I feel like I've seen her really debunk the cutting a wine bottle hack in a longer video

​@@vermis8344 I think it was meant for those who don't have a glass-cutter at home (they are rather expensive and hard to find where I live), so instead you use things you're more likely to have at home or cheap to purchase, so if it actually worked the way it was shown in their videos it would have been a nice hack. More than that, I came accross several videos from different creators / platforms doing something similar so it gave me this false sense of security since 'everyone' is using this hack without a problem. I still had my doubts remembering a few jars or cups that exploded after me pouring something hot in them, but some people might have just tried the hack without giving it a second thought.

@@ghostly.creature Often times you can find a cheap glass cutter at a hardware store, all it really does is score the glass, because that's how you "cut" all glass. As a professional glass artist, to shape a piece for a window it score it and hit it or bend it, maybe use breaking pliers if it's a small or delicate cut. Of course, you also do that while wearing gloves and safety googles if you like your eye sight.

To be fair, people who professionally cut bottles (yes it's a thing) do heat shock them, but they score them first (cheap glass cutters can be found at most hardware stores) and they always wear safety googles. ALSO, re the bangle in this vid, they did like every other pro and sanded it. Probably used a bottle sander, it's a special shaped sandpaper/grinder thing that attaches to a drill and woosh! smooth. But you still want to use water with it or wear a N95 respirator since silica glass dust is a bad thing to breathe...

I really don't think those creators are preying on children in any way, they're just assuming that kids won't see their content. People think of the "oooo satisfying" and recipe videos as being for adults and act accordingly.

@@slithra227 Well if thats the case then they could easily put "horror story" or something like that in the title or thumbnail but choose not to because it would get less clicks. So I gotta disagree with you on that. It's purposely catered to children because that's where they'd get the most views

@@MattFCC Just scrolled past someone angry that they're getting slotted as children's content because they make slime, but they regularly cuss in their videos and don't want to censor themselves for a demographic they don't actually market themselves to. I think, personally, that the ever growing expectation for adults to censor themselves and not act like adults on the internet for the sake of kids who shouldn't even have access to online spaces is really fucking annoying; let alone what it says about the future of our privacy and freedom of expression in a world more and more dependent on an internet controlled by three companies.

@Knave there’s a video Ann has that goes more in depth with this specific tiktok/KZfaq trend and how it is grooming children for violence. The stories are always spoken in a voice that sounds friendly to children, specifically the one about getting into a car with a stranger. The stories are fake and always end positively like “wow the man took me home! :) it was totally safe to get into a strangers car!”- what is the purpose of that, any adult would know that story is fake but do you think children will?

@@teresitaperegrina3741 yeah, the voices in the other videos about going to meet a stranger from the internet sounded like troom troom 😬 and this one sounded like a hyperactive robot. Neither were something most adults would choose as their preferred content, in my opinion

To be fair it is only obvious if you've baked cakes before. Many of the people who watch these may not have the "experience based knowledge" necessary to spot this immediately 🤷

Wonderful teaching. The children actually see what is happening on KZfaq. 👍🏻❤️

I'm glad to hear this is reaching the little people who need to hear it. Thanks for what you do. ❤️

You dropped this -> 👑

What a charming reply Noah!

are they

i never actually thought they were aimed toward kids. i just thought they were just storytime videos, but to be honest that hitchhiking story is giving grooming material vibes. i wish an investigation would be launched into these things.

@@hardcase7753 She showed a similarly creepy one in one of her previous videos. Young girl meeting a stranger on the internet or something.

Yeah, cutting your wrist like that can massively shorten your lifespan. Probably the reason why the emo scene died out, literally.

@@LordDragox412 Ha

@@LordDragox412 Wow, we're still making emo suicide jokes? You stuck in 2006 or something?

Acrylic would be the best material, it's smooth like glass and has a nice density but is very hard to break and when it does it won't do a bunch of damage to you, maybe a scratch. Idk why people don't use the amazing materials we have available instead of doing something dumb just because they had an idea. I have millions of ideas throughout my life, I don't just do them all, that would be dumb.
