Considering how often Lexi has mentioned Redneck engineering in her DIWhy or ATBGE videos, I'm surprised Robin is handling this one tbh. But knowing Robin's tendencies, this should be good either way.
I was about to say that. How is that not Lexis video?!
I can only imagine she'd go "yup... Works... Seen that... Yes..." To like 90%, hence the decision. Maybe?
But surely she'd have added some insights!
Haven't seen a Lexi upload for a minute
I’m guessing she’s been busy moving
@@Skylikesavation Fair point, I'm not following her personally.
Well, hope this video does well enough that she gets a chance in part 2!
I think she was busy so I handed it over lol
the spectrum of human engineering and creativity spans from broke-smart to rich-smart

I just want to say the neat thing about -40° is it doesn't matter if you use Fahrenheit or Celsius, it's the only temperature where they're the same. So, in both units: *IT'S COLD*
after 32f or 0c who cares its too damn cold
-40° in either would instantly kill you. It can't get that cold naturally.
Edit: To clarify I'm talking about average temperatures. In some places it has gone below -40°C on very rare occasion and people have died from it. -40°C is considered extreme temperature.
@@David_Quinn_Photography nah I'm in Texas its to damn cold once we hit 45F
@@David_Quinn_Photography 0c? Damn, don't come to Canada. 0c is nothing, in fact during winter this would be a pretty comfortable temperature
@@candle86 In California, I've seen people unironically say that 60F is too cold XD
11:16 is a German really pissed at math, because his equasion apparently equals "son of a bitch". Very funny if you ask me
Es ist ein schönes Easteregg.
Every German at 11:10 be like:
Yea the equation is rightly solved
Jaja
its easy math
Of course lmao
the question obviously was something along the lines of "who doesnt speak german?"
@@derBruns1I see, you are a man of culture as well
4:06 I've actually watched this happen. I used to live down the road from an Amish community and I ended up making friends with some of the kids. The adults never really liked me but they let me hang around anyway. One day I go over there on my bike after lunch and everyone was just fucking carrying a building. It was the craziest thing I had ever seen in my life.
Lol, my local Chinese food place did the same thing. They used plexiglass and a wooden drawer to pass money, but even after Covid, it's still like that. I think they enjoy not having customers right up in their faces while they're working. No complaints here.
They should add some curtains so if a Karen ever appears they can close the curtains and wait for the storm to blow over
Mine as well! Holy balls what is the deal with that anyway?
Shit is built like a gmod gun store
7:28 Cool fact: Fahrenheit and Celsius MEET at -40*, so there is no need to ask F or C.
The owner of that low-budget reverse sensor really followed the phrase "Work smarter, not harder".
literally on every video i click on
im just going to ignore it
8:08 In case anyone is wondering, this works, although it won't last as long as an actual C battery. I've done something similar by creating a spacer out of tin foil and replacing a D battery with a AA.
7:55 The best thing is, it doesn't matter if it is Fahrenheit or Celsius (btw go team Celsius!), as -40 is the crossover point where it is the same number, i.e. -40 °C = -40 °F.
Kelvin: 💀
@@shame2189oh god
A stack of pallets as stairs isn't only dangerous because of the hazards of walking up and down them alone. One day you are going to wake up to find your house infested with Forklifts.
it is also stacked in away where it'll fuel a fire most efficiently, O2 pockets
8:05
Those batteries (AAA, AA, C, D) are all 1.5 volts. There are things that you can buy online to plug a smaller battery into a larger socket.
You could use 6 AAA batteries in series (6 batteries x 1.5 volts per batt = a 9 volt source) to power a 9V device, like a smoke detector, with the right adapter.
Batteries in series are plus to minus, where +} is the positive side of the battery with the nub, and [- is the negative flat side, like this:
[- 1.5V +}[- 1.5V +} => 3V
0:59 can confirms that this indeed does work. You’ll be doing flips in the water for days, and the only brakes would be you and your small kayak paddle, but it totally works if you want to go flying and never leave!
The first one is the ultimate definition of "Modern problems requires moder solutions."
These are honestly kinda genius! Although be it really badly built, the ideas and functionality are the main things to take away from this experience. Thank you Robin for going through this subreddit for us! 😊
Glad you like it!
@@EmKay yes, and I want a jetkyack
8:45 Flint Lockwood's spray on shoes
Worked in a warehouse. Sorted pallets and i need to say they are much more durable than anyone thinks if made of the right wood.
7:05 actually, I’d consider that to be brilliant, not only does it function, but it’s also an ironic art piece, taking the entire purpose of a boat and flipping it on its head. That’s just flat out brilliant, albeit it the wood bracers and open air filter system don’t give it the best look
3:43 In my experience, UHaul trucks already have their suspension destroyed, so no one will suspect a thing.
This whole subreddit emits the "if it's dumb but it works, maybe it ain't so dumb" vibes
3:55 FUN FACT: The metal in a penny is worth about two cents. While it is a crime to melt down pennies for their worth, it still loses the US Mint $55 million each year.
8:50 it really depends. You have shower heads that feel like a power washer, and ones like this, which act more like a gentle rain. So depending on if he wanted a gentle rain or power washer this works pretty well
I mean, if electronics recycling facilities exists where I live, I'd do that. But no, they don't, so I just held onto my broken techs like a crazed hoarder
8:55 If you look at the "gun" you see a red tip. That is obviously a toy gun, so I would guess it is some form of costume. Why buy a holster for that?
Uhm, excuse me? Toy?
@@thecubingguy7333 The red tip of the gun. That usually denotes that it is a toy. It is sure a good looking toy, probably an airsoft or something like that, but unless some asshole put a red plastic tip on a real gun, it is a toy.
Might be an airsoft pistol.
1:30 That laptop's not likely to overheat and is easy to clean dust off. 👍
Truck tents are actually a thing sold in stores, but I applaud the ingenuity
As an Idahoan, “ugh, of course it’s Idaho” is our state motto.
2:46 don't umbrellas have that hook at the bottom??
Some do most don't
4:33 I have that exact nerf gun and it already hurts to be shot with it, I'm scared if that thing would explode.
Which nerf gun is it?
I just checked it, it doesn't have a name on it. It says it's from the "N-strike" line if that helps at all. I didn't buy it in the original packaging so i don't know.@@100purenacl3
This whole subreddit is the definition of "eh, why not?"
7:28 if this is your situation, put mass on the burners: the volume will heat and preserve the heat and radiate from more square inch surface area; steam expands and spreads heat better than dry-heat, so add water to pans on the burners to make the warmth more contributory. Bricks and cinder-blocks are safer mass to heat than stone, since stones aren't ceramic, ceramics have heat related properties most stones can't guarantee.
11:00
Can personally confirm there are indeed gloves purposely-made for that sort of stuff- I have a few myself.
Interesting tidbit on these "jeweller's gloves" though, miiiight look into it.
i dont know where you from or what language you speak but in that pic he wrote = Hurensohn wich means son of a bitch in german
About the pallet stairs. I work in a sawmill, where we build pallets, and I have to say that I agree. Pallets don't stay together. They fall apart. I wouldn't suggest using them for stairs.
Dude pulling his trailer home with a u hual truck is genius😂
0:36 RHD = Right Hand Drive, Robin. It's just a designation for which side of the car the controls are on. RHD vehicles are _always_ in demand among the Postal Service's rural carriers here in the States, and it was in a USPS group on Facebook where I first saw this very photo! "Import," my ass; that's a mailman's car!
Could be one of those Australian rednecks...
@@bcubed72 If Australian-manufactured vehicles are all RHD, then they wouldn't need to rig a LHD vehicle to RHD. But if they imported a car from Mexico, Canada or the United States, on the other hand....
Back before I signed up for our Postal Service, I was Googling around for RHD imports for sale in or around Texas, starting with British and Irish imports and moving around to Australia, New Zealand, India and South Africa. It would be nice if RHD nations would export cars by contract with the Postal Services of LHD nations, and vice-versa. 🤔
Was only -40 in MN once within the past few years. Florida was experiencing an all time low of 40 while we had -40 which I still laugh at.
6:22 as a filipino, its very true we do that tactic to prepare an flood/typhoon
Me and my college buddies wanted to go sledding so we took two shopping carts, sawed off the bottom of both shopping carts, then attach both shopping carts to piece of plywood with zip ties. after we spent 2 hours on this project we tied a rope to the makeshift sled and other side to the truck and pulled it across a icy road.
2:55 Dude that's cheating to bring LPL in here. He basically opens locks by introducing himself.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away he was friends with Bosnian Bill and he did a creative bit about amusing alternative ways to open locks.
I used pool noodles to make the tentacles for my Koro Sensei costume. Lucky me though I got the idea in like February so I had to wait til around late May to put it into action lol.
11:16 I love how the notes start with physics (angle of rotation) and ends with ''=bastard''
We humans get so much good ideas but forget about them, imagine if we write them down/make them true
Insurance companies love this guy. He never gets into any accidents but he just keeps paying every month.
-40 fahrenheit is the same as -40 celcius. I think that is pretty cool
Not just cool, it's actually very cold
Take my angry upvote for that dad joke and leave.

11:00 Pretty sure the result of the arctan equation is not "son of a bitch"
wdym? it clearly is, especially with the full stop after it lmao
As Murphy law says, "if it's stupid but it works, it's not stupid".
Oh, and my personal favourite "if it ain't broke, fix it till it is".
Everything can be fixed with the right amount of duct tape, bailing wire and chewing gum, just look at what they did to repair B-17s during WW2, one plane came back missing the verticle stabilizer (sheered right off at the fuselage) the fix, take the vertical stabilizer off a different B-17 that would never fly again and transplant over to the plane that is missing it (took a bit more then duct tape, bailing wire and chewing gu,m to fix, but the plane was back up and flying it's next sorte two days later, they did have to use some tape to seal up the holes left by the shrapnel).
Oh, and the Jeeps and M1 Shermans, both were built in such a way that the average farm boy could fix things in the field, because it was country boys that worked on tractors and pickups that were crewing these vehicles. The Germans needed professional mechanics trained to take care of the tank and somewhere behind the lines to fix them.
2:28 If cars existed in the 18th - 19th Century
It's actually from the 1981 movie Escape From New York.
6:15 bro wasn’t even like emotional just dissapooonted
3:07 Didn't think ahead, now battery change is a chore and maybe something they require the janitor for, especially if tools are not kept around. Just for fun, let's say he works like two days a week.
My Chinese food place did a whole delivery foyer system, it looks like they raided a Lowe's and prepped for a hurricane but the whole thing was so seamless, you put your order in, put your card in and the card and food came out
9:15 nah nah nah nah nah the best joke in tv history is when hank screams pocket sand
2:23 This little bit of Re:Zero Eerie soundtrack gave me so much PTSD in an instant
8:20 yes they do but there so expensive that it's cheaper to do that
My family has like 3k worth when it was new of tractor stuff but most of it is so old it’s neon worth 1k the cab don’t have ac though
10:56 Love the solution for the equation "Hurensohn". At some point, most of us had that at the end
9:56 That's NOT a cheap solution and it's hard to break. They might tip, but they won't break. Those pallets are quite expensive and they can have a cargo of 1-4t depending on the cargo and placement
yep, exactly
they're also hard to get if not distributor/buy in quantities
I love kind of dumb and improvised solutions to problems that somehow works.
10:56 yes, you can get a store bought version of that bandaged wipe. they are called artist drawing gloves. highly recommend them if you are working with a drawing tablet. no grease on the screen and your hand slides more naturally without sticking. all while your index finger, middle finger, and thumb are free to hold the stylus without being blocked by cloth
1:32 they give you money here
Love the theft protection on that manual car lmao
My coworker has that beat though, her car has a piece of rebar with no way to see where the gear directions are. Amuses the crap out of me every time I see it
99.9% of transmissions are all the same shift pattern, the only question is, dow e have 3, 4 or 5 gears, and you can find that out easily by just walking the stick through, reverse will be the last gear you can get to, so everything else is a forward gear.
@@candle86 it's mostly that they used rebar that I laugh at
1:57 just gotta come back here and say, my dad unironicaly did this once last year
4:04 Riot Police not found: a blind deaf contiguous surge of amassed persons can totally walk over themselves to smother their opponents underneath; the concept of trample in practice.
My whole life is low budget
So.. for the first one, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t work. If you ever notice how those chicken things work, they don’t make noise when you squeeze them, which is what would happen while backing up your car. They make noise when you let them expand, or release the pressure that caved in the chicken in the first place. This means that you would have to back up into a wall/other car *and then* go forward again for it to make noise.
4:20 I think they got the idea from military tents, which are heated by a diesel-powered heating unit in a similar manner.
8:25 They tend to be less lawnmowers and more small tractors with a mowing deck. I personally have a New Holland one and it's handy af.
1:10 would fit right in with r/halftops as well, I have an older Thinkpad that had no display so I just hooked up an HDMI port to it and used the laptop portion as a keyboard and connected a mouse and some extra drives.
OMG! There's a video of Amish people moving a barn and its so cool and kinda funny, from above it just looks like a barn with feet 😂 all jokes aside it looks super difficult and they should get mad respect for what they do.
that trailer moving is even worse when you consider: It's uneven so every interrior wall now has cracks in them. It LITERALLY takes a CDL license to legally tow above a certain weight so technically that's illegal
The battery trick with the AA battery WILL work. Same voltages just less capacity. You can also get a AAA battery to work in an AA battery slot with foil to close the gap on one of the terminals. I know because I did that to keep my CD player going when I was out of AA's.
So yea, that dowl trick to get AA's to fit is kinda cool. Just don't expect whatever it's in to last very long.
That rubber chicken is fighting for its life
7:20 Romanian engenering
OMG! Painting the dead bush to satisfy the HOA has to be the *best* !!!
0.15 Where I used to go for my MOT test, there was a broken down-pipe, he used a mudguard from a kids bike to scoop the water of a wooden windowsill, it looked like a tiny water slide.
Gotta say, I've seen pool noodles used more outside of pools than in them
At one of my old apartments, I had natural gas pumped in so one day we lost power because of a snow storm and turned on the gas stove and used a lighter to light it. We used a blanket to trap the heat on the first floor (we had a townhouse apartment) and camped out in the living room. The place has a kitchen, living room, and half bath/laundry room on the first floor and three bedrooms and one bath on the second floor. The kitchen and living room was connected by an open doorway. I decided not to sleep in the living room like my family and just slept in my room.
The right hand drive conversion is a legit kit for mail delivery vehicles in the US
I think it needs some cover on it, as someone or something definitely will get in it in the wrong moment.
That man with the umbrella, perhaps he isn’t actually Ahead of his time, but I’m sure he’s cracked the code to something!😂
8:45 - This is litterally the spray on shoes from Cloudy and the chance of meatballs
9:00 "whole lot safer"
That's an airsoft my guy
I work in fiber optic construction, the kind that goes on telephone poles. One of our standard tools is called a bell wrench. It is a wrench that is designed specifically to be able to use it as a hammer.
Yes, my job has a lawnmower with a branded cabin, but he's living on the cheap side of life and we all must bow to his power.
I used a pool noodle to pad the edges of my top bunk. It only took one solid smack when putting my sheets on, and it's saved me many more a smack over the years.
That was great! Love the anti tailgater device. Sadly most people are too stupid to see that and worry about it.
2:29 that car is a replica of The Duke of New York's car from Escape From New York. It was built to participate in the Lemons Rally, a low-budget road rally. Some truly insane cars have been built for that. For example,, someone made a car into a driveable hot tub.
It's a spinoff of the 24 Hours of Lemons racing series, where (aside from the safety equipment, the brakes, and the tires,) the budget cap to buy and modify your car is $500. I call it a racing series, but really, it's more like a party series that happens to have racing going on.
This is an entire world of people i didn’t think i needed
Not me taping a power bank to the back of my phone case because I wanted more battery.
Most of my bathroom is holding up on plastic.
My toilet is supported by a bottle filled with water.
My sink is supported by 5 empty plastic soup bowls.
Those who designed something to be completely foolproof tend to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
0:07 I sure hope they live in an area that doesn't have bears, or snow, or asshole neighbors.
In regards that self-feeding fire, they are a genuine thing. They use other sticks instead of steel tubing.
that censor noise, wherever it's from, gives me a fight or flight response every time i hear it
in southern states, you can buy a magnet broom for after hurricanes to pick up nails from repairing roofs and small bits of metal that flew around.
2:44 That's EXACTLY what a magnetic sweeper looks like. They're real, and you can buy them! The ones you find will have wheels, but there's one in my barn that doesn't have wheels. Does the exact same thing.
in alabama we dont have good microwaves
we take plastic bags, put the food in, and blow in them.
I'm Indian and we have a Hindi word for such simple engineering solutions to problems. I used to believe the word "Jugaad" (pronounced jugaardh) was something that was unique for Indians (the word and not the concept itself) until I saw this video.
Ey, same across the border! Jio Jugaad Pak-Hind!
Idk, here we just call it being creative with tools.
For example, if you want a limo, all you need is 2 cars, something to cut metal with and a lot of duct tape. So you cut off unneeded parts and then duct tape cars together - you got yourself a limo.
0:08 that's just a F150 and a tiny ass garage
If it's super cold and you desperately need it try using the oven instead of the top burners for heat. Its safer to be able to close the door and less likely to burn yourself. I've done it before, I was kid then and it was in the middle of winter. Hopefully never again.
10:52 there is.. a whole product.. made just for this. it's a drawing glove. i know someone who wears one every single day
the electric jet-kayak and the wood motorcycles are things that i would randomly buy, use 3 times, and send it to the corner of the garage
