Why can't you say "when"?

Hey Tyler! Can you test the tumbler knife sharpener? I’m considering buying it but I don’t wanna waste my money please I’ve been asking for 5 days

I think the TP test was skewed because of the paper perferations on the Cottonelle. I would redo the test with a 360 degree clamp with two boards with a hole about 2 in in diameter. An attempt at a finger strength test.😅

The reason fountain pens are still a thing is because artists exist. They are useful in line work and tracing pencil.

do you know how long I have waited for your upload!!! Your content is so addicting( it lowkey also helps when I feel depressed so ty But R ead the first part as exited not angry :)

I was looking for this comment. He is buying the blue brita. The long lasting 6 month ones which aren't charcoal and lose lol but yes he needed to soak that filter ! Lol

Was literally thinking this cause I just replaced mine. Haha!

Filters always need either a soak, or a rinse depending on the type. It hurts my brain to see him say something sucks when he doesn’t even test correctly. Usually it’s comedic, but it bothered me this time 😂

I'm sure he just missed that part of the instructions

I came to the comments for this exact reason. Hopefully Tyler sees this and retests the filters.

Actually so dumb I love him

He does this to get people to comment. He knows there will be someone out there that will correct him, and this will generate comments which generates view time and views

Takes so little to make some people happy.

@@Digital-Dan have you seen the state of the world?

He can't write in cursive What the Heck!!!!

Same 😂

This 100% Fountain pens are amazing, but not nearly as cheap to mass produce or easy to use as a ballpoint pen.

they're fun too, way more fun to write with than a ballpoint

Thank you so much for saying this it’s 100% true ballpoints are cheap. Fountain pens offer a personal touch it’s a preference, hobby whatever you want to call it. There’s benefits to both and downfalls but I prefer the feel and ability to change my colours and add a personal touch. And the best part is you don’t have to break the bank to do it my first was literally a Red Pilot Metropolitan.

The Platinum Preppy is my absolute favourite low-cost fountain pen

Was he using it upside down?

On the water filters you are supposed to filter a couple liters through them without drinking.

@@Rando31able oops 🤣🤣🤣

how does this work

@@DOBBAPHOENIX Original fountain pens only had pistons. Ink wells....ever heard of them? School desks used to have a hole drilled into the corner of them to hold the ink wells. Enter any of those key words into Google. Happy learning.

@@DOBBAPHOENIX A bottle of ink lasts for eons. I've only ever emptied two bottles in 5 years of writing nearly exclusively with fountain pens (I write a lot). And the ink options are basically endless, with a variety of properties available. For example, I have sheening inks that look a different color depending on how I hold the page. And shading inks, some of which will shade a different color - so places where the ink pools (most notably the point at which you pick your pen up to start another letter or word) will be one color, while the rest will be another. There's also shimmer inks, if you like glitter. Some inks will combine these properties. Plus, if you fall down the rabbit hole far enough, you can get to glitter potions where you can take your favorite non-shimmer inks and make them shimmery. Have a purple ink with gold sheen and want to add on some pink shimmer? Totally doable. And if that kind of thing is your jam, absolutely gorgeous. And even if you don't want to fall down that rabbit hole, and just want an ink or two, buying a bottle of plain ink is relatively cheap and will last years (or longer, depending on how much you write)

@@DOBBAPHOENIX there are muitple types of converters but the most common is the screw type. You turn the knob on the end and it moves a piston up and down. I exclusively use foiuntian pens and as Christa Smith mentioned the types and colors of ink available are endless even waterproof ink. Also they do make disposable pens also, Pilot makes some that I use and cost around 14 bucks for 6 pens but they are good quality pens and I don't worry about letting people borrow them vs my nicer ones.

Someone should send Tyler a Visconti Opera Master. He hasn't even glimpsed how smooth a fountain pen can write.

In Poland we learn on fountain pen also, we were like 15 years ago, now I'm not sure

​@@pawepawe4854 I was learning to write around 2005 and we used mostly pencils.

You get erasable ballpoint pens too. Very popular in schools around here.

The eraser is just slightly basic (around 10 pH IIRC, but don't quote me on that) which turns the ink translucent. If you use something acidic, it turn red-ish, and violet if you use something that is very basic.

In netherlands its the same when i learned to Wright. As a left handed these pens are a disaster.

cursive is not calligraphy 😂

​@@KableTac There's a historical movie that I'm pretty sure is about fountain pens. Caligula.

​@@KableTac no but fountain pens have been and are being used for calligraphy..I'm sure what's they meant

​@@dotar9586Nope, not about pens 😳

This is what I saw too. The name brand just tore off at the seam.

You're defending toilet paper. Do better

Besides that... you want toilet paper to break down once wet. You know... so you can flush it? The Amazon stuff being stronger while wet might actually be a mark against it.

Fellow drummer and I came here to say the same thing. The toilet paper itself didn't rip, it was the perforation. Tyler is just an idiot

Some people need thinner paper thats not abrasive my dad has bad hemroids and has to use the thinner kind kike the amazon basics

Was just about to write that 😂too funny 😂

i wonder of he had a wiff of toast when he written that cos its like je had a mini stroke

It was on purpose

​@Torque the prisoner did you have a stroke while what you wrote?

​@@Tristand09no

As a left handed person, I learnt to adapt to the way I write. I hold the pen so I write from beneath the line, avoids smudges all together.

This was the same at my school in the UK. We were only allowed to use pens fro. Age 10/11. And that was with Fountain pens. That was 1980 tho!

Many fountain pens accommodate a pretty large amount of ink via a high capacity piston filler. Pens that can be converted to eye dropper are even crazier.

I’m left-handed, so if I buy a fountain pen is there a way to dump out the ink inside of it and add the special type of ink for lefties?

@@Moleda1986 You can easily flush out the old ink with water or with a tiny bit of ammonia added to the water if it's problematic. I should also note that it depends how you write, if you write from the underside (i.e. your hand does not pass over the parts written) you can use any pen and any ink. If you're writing from the side you'll need fast drying ink and you'll probably want a pen with a small nib. You need to avoid flexible or thick nibs since you're pushing against the paper whereas a righthanded person would drag instead of push.

Sounds like a fun fountain pen meetup idea lol. Just a gathering of collectors, wigs, pens of varying fanciness, and some laws in need of rewriting...

Damn here in sweden i get values around 10-20 :/

For real. Im in california and our hose water was like +1100💀 tap is like +700👀 no filters gonna last with those numbers lol we bought a filter to wash our cars and it only lasted at 0ppm for 2 washs hahaha

@@sendrake5005 the water we use comes from an underground aquifer and it is heavy in lime deposits. Depending on where you live in the U.S. ppm can very greatly and just because it has a higher ppm doesn't mean it's not safe to drink, though I drink bottled water myself.

67 is usually spring water with old pipes

You're also suppose to run water through a filter the first time and dump the first run

Yes

Yes

Rechargeable batteries are good for high discharge devices. While they have less capacity, they don't sag in voltage like alkalines do. So things like RC cars, high powered flashlights, camera flashes, etc. do better with rechargeables. Clocks, remotes and other low drain devices benefit more from alkalines.

tyler is kinda slow. we have to take everything he does/taste with a grain of salt

That's where I stopped the video. 😱 Is it safe to watch the end?

​​@@dragon202006 bro if cops come to your place they're going to think something real sus is going on 😂

That's weird. I use a brita pitcher because without it, my water tastes like it came out of a swimming pool. The water that's gone through the pitcher has none of that taste. Not that I don't think it's safe to drink unfiltered, but it tastes awful. I'm not sure I'd rely on a brita pitcher to make unsafe water safe to drink.

I was looking for a comment from someone else that noticed that! I was blown away I was thinking I was the only one that noticed it.

Great for people with patients and pride in making things last but that's not the average person. They're actually designed to be used in a specific way as well. Held in a 45° angle, apply light pressure to start applying full pressure by letter 3 then don't release the pen until skipping words or crossing T's and dotting I's. Perfect for the most common way to write back in the day: cursive.

You can get a 5 pack for 5$ at some stores in okc

I still write with one I have for school in the nineties, working fine. Much less fatigue than a biro and a lot less plastic waste. Occasional leaks, but the ink is easier to get out and nicer to deal with than when I break a biro and get that ink everywhere. Biro ink is nasty.

@@dees3179 …biro? I’ve never heard that term before. I can figure out the meaning from context though. What nationality/age group are you? I’m American, early 20s.

The good TP failed at the serrations it looks like. It just shows that the serrations are better. 😂

I would have to agree with both and that would also show why the cottonelles are plumber approved as well

My earlier school days were with the cartridge pens. We did have the hole for the inkwell in the desks though. 👴

@@Xbob42 LOL good one

@@dotar9586 It was the same way when i went to school the desk and the seat were all attached to each other and the desktop had the inkwell hole

@@Xbob42 Charles dickens was in my class !

During my school days the students all had to use fountain pens. This is fine if you're right handed, but if you're left handed a fountain pen will limit the ways you can hold the pen, else you'll be dragging your hand across your writing and smudging the ink.

I know I'm showing my age here but when I went to school being left handed was treated as something barely short of a crime. 😂 I didn't learn the joy of fountain pens until I was signing my marriage license

@@dougbrown7150 I think my teachers saw being left handed as a handicap. Due to this I am now ambidextrous, silver linings and all that.

i think even if they're all being made with cartridges, them being much more sensitive and thus risking the tip being damaged more easily, would make them lose popularity

depends on the nib

Definitely. If someone started pressing harder on my Montblanc to try and get more ink, I would have to start pressing on their head. It's not a flex nib! Of course, nobody gets to touch my Montblanc so that's not really a problem.@@sundayfunday5059

Now I've got that silly song by They Might Be Giants stuck in my head...

Was asking myself the same. Would also explain why he only likes certain types of food and only certain brands.

But he also believes in a lot of stupid conspiracies (stupid because all evidence from reputable sources goes against them). So he has downsides. He is a flat Earther. If you want to know what other conspiracies he believes, Listen to the Tyler unglued podcast.

I wouldn't be surprised, honestly. He's got a lot of patterns of food preference that goes along with that.

​@@MattIsTheCat He's made fun of Flat Earthers a couple times, so I find this hard to believe

Rechargeable ones almost never have the same capacity as one time use batteries. At least with lithium

It would've been a fairer test to rate them against other rechargeable batteries; not non-rechargable ones.

They gradually lose effectiveness over time, same as lithium ones do, and for the same reasons. They're good for situations where switching batteries more often isn't a big deal, like a wireless mouse or a TV remote. I think they might start to slowly disappear the more things get powered by USB these days, though. I've stopped using them because I don't think I even have any electronics at this point that take batteries.

@@noahv17 which is why I am interested in what his findings would be

Nickel metal hydride batteries, which I'm assuming he's using, generally perform a bit better at first after a discharge charge cycle (from personal experience using a cadex at our work). They are less prone to memory effects as nickel cadmium cells and generally have more capacity. I'm 99% sure they wouldn't be lithium because lithium ion has a voltage of 3.7 per cell, whereas a NiMH or NiCd has a voltage of 1.2 V per cell. ( An alkaline is 1.5v per cell.) It is generally not recommended to use lithium cells like that with that much higher of a voltage as direct replacements. They do make lithium cells that output 1.5 volts, but those are not rechargeable. I looked up the average capacity of an alkaline battery, and it's looking like 2850 mah. The Amazon basics ones I think he is using are 2400 mah, which equates to 15% less than the average alkaline. That happens to be way less than the difference he experienced, so they either weren't charged or severely overrated. He should take them to a local battery shop with a cadex tester or similar device to see if they are outputting around what they are rated for. I know the ones we use for rebuilds at my work are generally rated at 2200 mah and usually test at about 90% on the fist test and 120% capacity after running the test a second time new out of the packaging, so we rate ours conservatively.

I would heavily recommend pilot g2 for gel pens if you haven't tried them. I have taken up writing cursive recently and they really make it easy when you're a lefty.

A sinister agreement here. I've made the rounds and settled on gel pens. The cheap ones vary widely in quality though, and even the Parker refills are occasionally disappointing. When they work, though, they're superior.

He probably didn't charge the batteries either.

@@floyd2386 haha prob not

Before the 2 or 3 flushes, you're also supposed to let the filter sit in a glass of water for 15 min to saturate it. That's why it rattles when he shakes it, the water runs right through it, & it tastes no different from tap water. Also, for anyone out there not reading the instructions, always keep the water line above the filter (keep it wet)

that was my thought, he really needed to make sure they were fully charged

Major testing flaw.

Maybe rechargeables have changed since I was a kid, but they never had the capacity of nons.

@@insouciantFox He didn't charge them fully. Duh

the batteries were already out of their packaging prior to recording. Obviously he charged them. They're just shit batteries

Where in God's name did you go to school? I just turned 60 & not once in my Massachusetts school years was I required to use a fountain pen.

@@munkustrap2 Since he said Biro not Bic, it wasn't in the US.

@@munkustrap2 I know someone born in 1951 who used it in 6th grade in Illinois.

Same here. The trick was to make sure your pen ran out half way through a test so you could catch a glimpse of other people's answers on your way to the big ink bottle on the teacher's desk. Biros were for rough notes only.

Give us context such as where.

I'm 25 and went to Catholic grade school where I learned cursive in second grade. I always kind of chuckle because most of my peers can't read or write in cursive as public schools didn't teach it. Admittedly I'm out of practice so my cursive is a bit sloppy but I can still write in it and certainly read it.

It's Tyler, of course he didn't. He also didn't monitor fan speed through the runtime. I do not doubt alkalines will run longer than the rechargeables, but the rechargeables will maintain a more consistent fan speed until they die.

You did just fine. We all appreciate your knowledge. 🍻
