Hi Ann! I've pre ordered the book here in the Philippines! Big fan! You deserve all this love and support from your community. I really am very much excited to recieve it in my hands and try out the recipes. Sending lots of love and keep safe~ 😊💕
I’m not saying Ann is going after TH-cam but the fact that she is mentioning about a lawyer and if you can sue TH-cam for dangerous content is the reason I have so much respect for this woman. Really trying to look after people’s well being and smaller creators!
heroes don’t wear capes sometimes, they just slowly roast corporate trojan horses on a pyre and season them with every spice possible. thanks Mrs Reardon.
they're so corporate and stupid like they don't care if kids die they just want their pockets full one thing is business another is following shitty corporate trends to get at least a bit of ad revenue
The fact that TH-cam doesn't seem to care about the dozens of children getting hurt because of the content they are choosing to maintain in their platform is just infuriating. It's great that you're bringing attention to this issue
It's not that they don't care (if they didn't care they wouldn't care about tonnes of other problematic categories as well), but more than moderating a large platform is ridiculously complex. That doesn't give them a free pass at all, but as they always say "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.". So yeah, bringing attention to it again and again is indeed the best thing to do. Best thing to do is to contact any (big) advertisers that you see before such videos, as them complaining to TH-cam sometimes results in FAR quicker escalation.
We're targeting the wrong people... Tell the advertisers about it, and that policy will change super quickly. It's a shame that the adpocalypse was caused by the odd stupid video that slipped through the net, rather than the systematic promotion of life-threatening hacks to children.
Yeah the best bet is to complain to advertisers or sue the platform for gross negligence. That being said you probably couldn’t sue unless you have been hurt by one of the dangerous hacks.
I think the onion trick might be more useful if you grow your own and are trying to dry/cure them so they will store. It would keep them suspended, away from bruising/mold, and with plenty of airflow. The only issue is that unless using old stockings, they're expensive enough I wouldn't want to dedicate a whole bunch of stockings to that purpose.
"I'm no microbiologist, but..." And continues to do her best to teach and does it well. It's like a science teacher who only draws for fun saying "I'm no artist so don't laugh" and then they draw the whole body system.
The one with the forehead tape was really funny to me as a marine biology major. Most of the organisms shown, such as the daphnia (water flea) and a copepod, are found widely in aquatic environments, but don’t exactly thrive on human skin. Plus, they’re clearly swimming, which would not be possible on a piece of tape
I thought something was off by the fact that the orginizums looked like they were swimming as tape would most likely stop them or make them look like a fly on fly paper. But I don't know anything about this topic so I wasn't sure. Thank you for confirming that for me!
@@notinterested8452 I don't even understand what side are you on that debate, but you are forcing the connection a lot. Take a break from politics please :]
She's a legend. The thinly-veiled threat/suggestion aimed at TH-cam is baller. The fact that TH-cam is going to wait until they're faced with litigation for negligence because they won't just do the right thing and listen to reason and ethics is pathetic. But Ann is fighting for our kids with the movement she's started to make the platform safer and more ethical. She's my kind of hero.
Haha, right!! 😉 That was so thinly-veiled I could see it and I can hardly see! 😉 She has a valid point, that poor young’en who got hurt. I hope she’s ok.
TH-cam isn’t responsible for you or your children. That’s your job. You have the personal responsibility to do your own research and think for yourselves. If you choose to be ignorant and naive that’s on you. Anyone who blindly believes a YT video without question is responsible for their own demise.
@@FirstNameLastName-wt5to depends though.. if your a 13 year old with no supervision (say mom and dad are at work and there is no babysitter) then why NOT try out a TH-cam video? If it saves time and looks cool why not? I remember being a kid and not having that much supervision. If it DOESN'T come with a warning then it MUST be safe right? REMEMBER these are KIDS who either don't know better or who just want to have fun.
@@kterhune100 Exactly. I completely agree with you. Not all children have the luxury of a responsible caregiver. On top of that, even responsible caregivers can not possibly watch the children in their care every second of every day. It’s also incredibly unfair to put adult level personal responsibility on children/teens who don’t even have the capacity to understand what that means.
@@FirstNameLastName-wt5to Children are often naive and believe things they see on sites that seem reputable. TH-cam is 100% responsible for not doing anything about the dangerous content on the platform, and instead boosts it.
As someone who doesn’t need to use captions, I still absolutely *love* to see that!! We love when content creators make sure that their videos are as accessible as possible to all people!
The webies need an award for the unsung hero. The person who tries everything, or does everything, but the channel is not about them. Here's to Dave, always testing the nasty foods!! Thank You for your service!
More accurate renaming of these "experiments": (1) Which will burn the fastest - the chocolate, the sugar or the popcorn? (2) Guess where this man's just been based on the microscopic organisms we can see. (3) Which method of storing onions requires more effort with no extra benefit? (4) Can you make art with water and honey? (5) Does butter have fat? Abstract: Yes, yes it does. (6) At what temperature does rice puff up in oil? (7) Observational study: parsley bunches can look different depending on where they've been cut.
Hi - Australian lawyer. I think it is arguably negligence. Google has in the past been liable in defamation for distributing defamatory content written by third parties. Seems to me the same principles would apply. Would be interesting to see this one litigated. Edit: as this comment has so many likes, I thought I should probably add a couple of things; -This isn't legal advice -Liability of YT for any specific injury may hinge on when YT was made aware of the video -This probably isn't a slam dunk case
@@DoKuShOsTaR they could try suing one of these dodgy content farms but my understanding is that they're all based in Eastern Europe and would be hard to serve and actually get them into a courtroom. Google would likely try to argue it was just a passive conduit, didn't owe a duty of care, and so on.
IANAL, but from my understanding of American law, TH-cam wouldn't be liable (unless it involves trafficking). That being said, you're able to sue anyone for anything even if everyone knows the lawsuit is baseless. You might even win some damages (though not likely). P.S. Just in case, I know you said you're Australian, I'm just bringing in another country's perspective.
@@abeytuhanu Not a lawyer but you've got the idea right for the united states. The platforms themselves are protected from liability by section 230 of the communications decency act. In all likelihood if suit were brought against youtube or google it would be dismissed for this reason. You would likely be more successful bringing suit against the content farm, but I suspect as mentioned above they incorporate themselves in locations that make this difficult. I also remember seeing a story years ago that indicated a lot of them will dissolve and reincorporate should there be a problem.
@@karenramnath9993 I usually boil water with no more than a tablespoon of baking soda in the burnt pan for at least a minute. Then I'll scape it with a hard edge spatula (such as metal or wood) before washing it. Perhaps some of those steps are redundant, or the elbow grease behind hand washing the pan it what actually has effect.
5:12 I guess that the final organism could be Anabaena or a neonate however there are so many different organisms that look like that, it's just so difficult to clearly identify it...
I thought it could be algae because of the pin-like structures coming out and the fact that the other organisms in the video are from water. But phytoplankton makes sense too because they are also found in ponds.
The sheer anger on Anne's face when she started talking about a possible lawsuit... I feel the same. Children becoming horrifically injured because of TH-cam's negligence cannot be allowed to continue
the amount of times I tried those recipes and hacks and hurt myself as a kid is ridiculous. it’s the reason I stopped wanting to cook I felt like I could never do it right 🙄
Meanwhile right now millions of chlidren are freely watching po*n labeled as "educational naked yoga" on TH-cam, because TH-cam say, well guess it: "They are educational videos"
@@sangajikharismarizkysusilo9943 i didn't realize there is such thing and i searched it and watched it and omg anyone can just watched it... it so dangerous and nit cool .
I just sent feedback to TH-cam saying this: Please modify the TH-cam policy to include a ban against dangerous 'hacks', such as cooking hacks which could result in 3rd degree burns, etc. Currently, we can not report these sorts of videos because they do not violate TH-cam's terms of service. Perhaps if they get enough feedback from users they will decide to do the right thing.
"Honey showing its genetic memory of being stored in the comb..." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The stuffs these pseudoscientists come up with are just so audaciously creative. Pretty sure they don't even know what "genetic memory" means.
And she also knows how to market herself and her book. (Plug and the Photo challenge) This is not meant as a slight to her. She is just a smart business woman. We get these great videos for free so she uses a bit of it for promotion. I can totally live with that.
Recently graduated Lawyer here 🙋🏻♀️ Even if they don't have a policy surrounding Dangerous Hacks, the loophole needs to be addressed by them at some point. Dangerous Hacks have been very prominent on the platform for a very long time, enough to acknowledge and ammend their policies to include it. Their ignorance towards this goes to show their Negligence and Lack of Responsibility towards their consumers. Thanks Ann for having our backs and debunking these videos + cautioning us. The best we can do for now is share her videos to educate people and hope someone files a strong law suite or YT amends it's policies asap.
I have to wonder though, and I'm not a lawyer myself, if TH-cam has some kind of "Release of Liability" clause in their Terms of Service that basically says that you, the User of the Service shall not hold TH-cam Liable for any harmful or dangerous content that is disseminated on the Service and subsequently acted upon by you, the User. Thereby legally passing the buck on to the individuals or the organizations behind the individual channels and thus necessitating the filing of lawsuits towards channels on an individual, ad hoc basis and freeing TH-cam from the risks of being held liable as a named party in any kind of a lawsuit be it individual or class action. And since many of these "5 minute crafts" type hacks channels more than likely do everything they can to obfuscate where and how you can contact them in order to properly serve them a legal document, good effing luck hitting those organizations with enough lawsuits to shut them down. They operate so dang many channels and pump out so much content that TH-cam happily profits from running advertisements on that they probably couldn't care less to lose one or two channels to lawsuits.
I have no idea why TH-cam doesn't have some sort of warning, or doesn't force content creators to have some sort of warning at the beginning of their videos once someone has reported them. Tik Tok has a warning saying "The actions in this video could result in serious injury" on videos involving stunts and other things (sometimes on random videos for no reason, but anyway). They're also apparently trying to crack down on misinformation, removing videos that have been proven to be false, AND have an "unverified content" warning for videos where it's not super clear if it's true or not (which would apply to most 5 Minute Crafts videos). Twitter seems to have a prompt to read something before sharing the headline, to crack down on the spreading of misinformation. Facebook has a thing that tells you if a link is dodgy or has been proven incorrect, especially if it's related to the pandemic. TH-cam has been around since before any of those, but there's nothing on there to help people not fall for dangerous misinformation? I guess it's because so many of the views (so, revenue) come from watching and sharing videos that are just too ridiculous to believe. I mean, how many people shared Rebecca Black's "Friday" music video to their friends, compared to a nice song they personally like?
@@ceekay3143 I've thought about it before this video even, and the problem with cracking down on "harmful misinformation" is that it's far too broad of a term. It becomes a slippery slope when it comes to anything controversial, and gives the platform control on what to censor. Essentially has the ability to remove freedom of speech from the platform. Granted that depends on the position the platform takes and all ---- but that's still not ideal, especially since a lot of popular channels are controversial ones, or debate channels with hot takes. Really, they just need a way to require any dangerous video to have a warning/disclaimer, and to crack down on what the term means, banning all of it from appearing on youtube kids' searches. There would still be accidents, but far less. Or, of course, when these loopholes pop up they could simply add a policy against whatever it may be.... Edit: Fixed a grammar error.
I’m visiting family in another city and they told me how someone in their neighborhood burnt a house down as the owner tried to cook steak in a toaster. I remember that hack going around a while ago and I think Ann has covered it too. The story gets a little sadder as the insurance company won’t replace the house as the policy doesn’t cover the houses value.
@@MissMaryanne1 ...okay, if that's true, it's not even the "hack"'s fault -- leaving unattended bread in the toaster indefinitely could easily lead to a fire!
I mean, they should have known this would be bad... I'm with the insurance company for once in my life... Anybody with a lick of common sense would know that greasy meat + toaster = fire.
Hey Ann. The pantyhose trick is common when dealing with Vidalia Onions, which are so high in sugar and water that they will go bad if they are left to touch each other. This is actually recommended to folks in America that buy a LOT of Vidalia's-I have done it too. And it does work-albeit the Vidalia's are consumed long before 6 months. Some Vidalia's can be eaten like an apple as they can be so sweet. Mind you that Vidalia onions are ONLY grown in Vidalia, Georgia, US and there are actually laws that say you cannot brand an onion a Vidalia, unless it is actually grown there-no clue how many companies cheat on that though.
@@dreaming-of-spots6805 not the same thing. We have sweet onions in germany and they are just a little less sharp in taste than a regular one. Definitely not sweet enough to bite into like an apple.
As info, “Vadalia” is registered so only onions grown in Vadelia (an area in Georgia USA) can use that name, like some wines and cheeses can only use region-specific labels if produced in that region.
I'm not a lawyer, but the basis of the infamous "hot coffee" lawsuit in the 90s against McD's was not that the old lady got burned, but that dozens of cases of severe burns had been caused by a number of factors that the company did nothing to remedy over some stupidly long period of time. The purpose of the old lady's suit was to make the company take purposeful action regarding an actual dangerous set of circumstances. She originally only wanted her medical bills paid, the judge decided to add on punitive damages, which I think she ended up seeing little of anyway. I digress, it should be perfectly reasonable to take TH-cam to court for something dangerous which has been shown repeatedly to be so, but this platform and many others seem to have become too mighty...
there was that lawyer on youtube that said TH-cam and other sites are public so they are not responsible at what get uploaded on them so i really doubt they can sue youtube but maybe they can sue the person who made the video
The saddest part about the old lady suit is that McDonald's got all these news organizations to absolutely crap on her. I mean she had severe burns on her lap, stomach, and legs. Then they threatened her intelligence saying "well yeah coffee is hot" it should never be hot enough to do that 🙄
@@TheSuzberry oh yes it is, i feel it is more common during the holidays for me + where it’s accessible. i have had popcorn with chocolate drizzle a couple of times and like ann’s recipe. it’s super good and worth trying!
The weird thing is that, being... sort of a microbiologist, I guess, myself (as in, I studied microbiology at university, graduated in 2004, but have worked in computing ever since, because of course that's what microbilogy gradutes do, right?), I was like "yeah, that's a... whachamacallit, yeah, yeah, and that one's clearly a... jesus wept, I should know this".
@@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t I am pretty sure she atleast used the internet to confirm her guesses. My doctors use their phones to look stuff up all the time. Pre internet doctors had to use books for reference, but they often needed to relearn refresh the information they lost. There is a limit to our brains memory. Colleges don't think we are going to retain 100% of what was taught in class. Without reinforcement we lose 75% of the information we heard withing 6 days. So honestly unless you are using it you will lose it. Also, yes I looked up that statistic and will likely forget it by tomorrow.
It's worrying that about 10 years ago when I was a teenager, I believed all of the 5 minute craft videos. I just implicitly trusted them all and it could have had serious consequences. Thank you to people like Ann who now debunk them to keep more people safe.
@@getlowpapoose I obviously mean videos like that. I don't remember the names of the channels I used to watch. Thank you for taking the time to reply and point out my massive mistake.
The first thing I taught my younger sister, when she reached the age kids go on youtube these days, was to always check in with mom (who has chemistry and physics degrees) before following any “lifehacks” from the internet, and never trust them blindly. That story about a girl dying after a “handmade popcorn maker” gone wrong, because the video omitted important safety instructions, chills me to the bone.
Also not a lawyer but re: TH-cam not taking responsibility… a class action lawsuit from all the victims of trying a “hack” recommended to them by the algorithm might change their policies sharpish. But it would be interesting to see if that’s even possible.
@@Xeddicus427 I think the big question is more if, legally speaking, TH-cam is responsible or if they would have to find a way to sue the people that posted the video itself
@@Xeddicus427 Class action lawsuits involve a large group of people suing the same person for the same reason (so for example, suing over a faulty product they all bought or price fixing), which disperses both the cost and the risk. A lot of times the lawyers' fees come out of whatever they manage to win, not out the class members' pockets. So if you're a class member you don't actually pay anything, you just opt in to say 'yes I was affected by this' and get a portion of whatever the class is awarded. A lot of times the individual class members might not get a ton of money ($5 million divided between 100,000 people is only $50 each), but it adds up to a large chunk for the entity that got sued.
Regarding the hacks: Best thing to do is to contact any (big) advertisers that you see before such videos, as them complaining to TH-cam sometimes results in FAR quicker escalation.
Excellent idea! Anne actually regularly reccomends that we do just that - take a screen shot of their add on the video and send it to advertisers so they know exactly what they're paying for. Great to see someone saying so in the comments!
You realise ads are different on the same video for each person depending on profile, search habits, country, city, county, time of day, time of year, political affiliation, religious conviction, among many others. Yes it’s really that complicated.
The fact that TH-cam hasn’t banned 5-Minute Crafts yet is just…disgusting. They don’t care about viewers’ safety as long as the channel is making them money.
@@wolfetteplays8894 well I don’t have kids yet, but I know from my own experience being a kid that I did tons of things without my parents’ knowledge. Luckily nothing I did was dangerous, but all it takes is a couple minutes for a kid to get hurt. You can’t put all the blame on parents because it’s impossible/crazy to be aware of your kids’ actions 100% of the time. “Family-friendly” websites like TH-cam need some regulation too.
@@wolfetteplays8894 it's not a matter of parents not watching kids. When I was younger I accidentally caught a pillow case on fire in the middle of a night because I saw or read somewhere that it would be good to dampen the light from an exposed light bulb since i tore up my lampshade earlier that day. Parents were asleep and it took only about 30 seconds for it to catch fire. Educating kids about what is dangerous and what is not is a better response. I know better now and was able to put it out but if the false info wasn't out there it more than likely wouldn't have happened
@@wolfetteplays8894 yeah, because you can control your children completely, they are not humans who make mistakes no matter what... Even if you never let them use the internet, that doesn't prevent them from hearing these things from friends. You clearly don't have children, so just keep your ignorant judgements to yourself.
I'm like 90% sure i've seen those "face mites" in documentaries about aquatic animals. And I don't mean I recognised the species - I think it's the exact same stock footage.
Yeah I have a masters degree in biology and those "mites" are definitely not living on our faces. There are mites on our bodies, but they look very different
yea real face mites look nothin like any of those, that's definitely stock footage from something, and face mites are completely harmless anyway, dunno what that guys trya insinuate
dave is a trooper, he’s still willing to try stuff for our sake despite how many bad tasting things he’s had so far. I hope he gets lots of good food when the cameras are off because he deserves it.
That’s what I was thinking!!! And maybe dr. Mike too for medical stuff abt the injuries??? Imagine all these smart ppl talking together my brain would explode from the sheer intelligence!!!
I recently bought a new microwave, it actually came with a warning slip saying not to cook an egg in the microwave and why it was dangerous. I just thought it was great they included that
"It's actually just a load of rubbish." seems like a good title for a debunked compilation lol Edit: Some people think I'm against Ann on this comment. "It's actually just a load of rubbish" can be used as a title of compilation by Ann of debunked videos from those dangerous content farms.
@@e3n701 I think they're saying that it would be a good series title for Ann to use, as in, the things she's debunking are rubbish. I could be wrong tho.
@@e3n701 I think she's saying that Ann should use that as a debunked compilation title because what 5 minute crafts and all the other content farms are a load of rubbish
I find it so frustrating that they are "testing" to see if things are organic. Organic just means that it doesn't use certain pesticides, in some was non organic practices can be better for your health and the environment
Organic merely means relating to or obtained from living things. Basically anything relating to carbon compounds - i.e. carbon based. So all living things are organic.
This, man. I tend not to use organic pesticides on my plants, since they don't do much against mites or afids, and my non-organic carrots and garlic both tasted fine. God knows why people consider non-organic to be a bad thing
I have people who share 5 minute crafts and other videos like that on my facebook part of me is always like 🤦♂️and I wanna tell them, but the rest of me is like would it be rude? Lol I saw this one about growing plants that was basically a guide to kill plants lol
This way of storing onions is very popular in Slavic (post-soviet too) countries. I'm from Belarus and my grandmothers do the same for all their lives, the same as their friends, and as my family do too. Mostly it's for better ventilation that huge amounts of onions need. When you storage onion for 6 months it's not just 3 bulbs, the measurement goes in boxes! And one has to keep it in the cellar, which has increased dampness. And rotting in the boxes can have unpleasant consequences (believe me, you don't want to know, only rotten potatoes in boxes are worse) So it does help with bigger amounts and also looks fun in the cellar hahah something like onion stalactites
@@eminakostic3406 Is it worse than a rotten tomato? I've had potatoes go bad, but never to the point of true stink, but rotten tomatoes are horrendous.
THATS IT.....SOMEBODY GET ANN REARDON AN ARMY OF LAWYERS.....THE WORLD WOULD BECOME A BETTER PLACE!!!!!!!!!!! Edit: look at the replies!!! Oh we r so ready for an international board of lawyers for Ann!!!! Let's gooooooo😌
I swear, the moment she said the word "Lawyer" it's like the whole athmosphere changed, you know that was a passive attack on TH-cam and I hope they get to watch this and maybe understand that getting Anne mad is a biiiig Nono!
you know the Oprah meme 'you get a car,you get a car,you get a car,EVERYBODY GETS A CAR!!!"? so i just imagined Ann being the same:'you'll get sued,you'll get sued,you'll get sued,EVERYBODY WILL GET SUED!!!"😂
The part about the creation of honey just reminds me of when my dad told me a simplified version when I was a kid. He called it Bee Spit, and was trying to gross me out so that I wouldn't want Peanut Butter and Honey sandwiches for lunch every day. Next time he asked me what I wanted for lunch, I said I wanted Peanut Butter and Bee Spit.
I'm going to have to say I've never had peanut butter and honey in a sandwich before. PB&J yes. I'm gonna try it, sounds a bit sweet tho? I dunno, I'm older now so everything seems a bit too sweet now :/
You could make an entire video about how you like to clean your pots, pans, and microwave after giving the hack a go. Do you have a certain mixture or substance that you like the best? I feel like, as a food scientist, you might have some great insight into what actually works to get your stuff clean.
I'll save Ann and everyone else the bother. There are already fifty zillion TH-cam videos telling you to use either baking soda and vinegar, the eco method, which doesn't actually work on most heavy duty muck, or, the saviour of us all, Barkeepers' Friend, which does work on most heavy duty muck. Then for the really nasty stuff, there's Easy Off, which is NOT recommended by the manufacturer but which innumerable videos show works fairly safely on that burnt on discolouration we all get on pots, baking trays etc., that nothing else shifts. There now. Is everybody happy? You bet your life we are.👍😎
@@Beruthiel45 Those are some interesting tips, but I’m mainly suggesting that our friend may have a unique perspective as a trained scientist and might have fun making it into a video. Then again, she’ll have to demonstrate the cleaning effect by…cleaning! 😂☠️
You may not be a microbiologist but you sure damn nailed it. I'm a bio major and i've seen those little critters tons of times as part of my limnology courses. If those are what lives on his face then I'm concerned he might be the creature from the black lagoon.
“Make it a great week by being kind to others” This is the kind of content I subscribed for. Just the other day I was camping and a lot of things were going wrong, putting me and my husband in a sour mood. We were walking back to the campsite from the parking lot and saw another couple struggling to carry all their gear and surfboards so we offered to help since we were going to same way empty handed. We felt way better after walking down the trail and chatting with our new neighbour. Thanks, Ann, for your kind efforts to help us filter out the misinformation online.
Omg I can't believe I'm in one of Ann's videos! So amazing to meet you the other day. Also, love the dedication in keeping an onion for six months for the name of science.
The only reason I could think of about preserving onions by warping them in stockings (or whatever that's not air-tight) is that you could hang them up in places with good airflow (like next to a window) so it saves some space in your kitchen while minimizing chance of mold spreading, especially when you have so many onions that you could only pile them up in a basket. The same goes for chilis and garlics.
Yes, my granny used that method. And if the onions still had stems, she made them into a braid - that actually looks nice. But stockings are less messy
With the parsley- one is ‘leggy-er’ than the other. They are trying to say that if the stalks have more leaves per stalk height, then it’s organic. The idea being that in-organic fertilizer makes it grow faster. Of course, anyone who grows parsley knows that it depends when in its life cycle it’s picked that makes the difference. The plants will get leggier as they grow longer, and they will often ‘bolt’ when there is an increase in temperature. So yes, there’s a difference between those bunches, but it’s not about whether it’s organic or not. The less leggy stuff usually does taste better though- just as with all greens, the newer they are, the more delicate the taste and texture.
As an herbalist can confirm. Anything could result in different growth rates, the type of soil, amount of sunlight, watering schedules, temperature, humidity. There's so many factors that can exasperate the rate of growth. It has nothing to do if it was organic or not.
A typical How to Cook That debunking video- 90% - Roasting 5 minute crafts' entire existence 9.9% - learning something new ( I learn a lot more LOL) 0.1% - A hack actually working.
The opposite would be more likely----all the harmful pesticides in conventional, and isn't even grown in soil (hydroponic) vs all natural organic teeming with nature.... The organic food cult people would be all over that crud
For chocolate popcorn, my family always just sprinkled in chocolate chips or whatever while the popcorn was hot and stirred it around. They melted all over.
Started scrolling through comments as soon as she said "If there's any lawyers watching..." and I found that others have beat me to suggesting bringing this to Legal Eagle's attention. That kind of episode would be very interesting, though.
Legal Eagle won't do anything he values his channel and if your in America he is a raging Democrat and TH-cam is very Democrat also so he won't do anything
The onion hack was something I remember back in early pinterest days as a way to store them. It never said anything about making them last longer. I love how people are going back to older things and twisting it
Having had a stint in identifying microscopic critters in pond water for a professor as part of a job, thanks for identifying those little creatures for everyone! I especially adore the copepod because that's what I spent most of my time identifying and counting. Also, the one you left unidentified almost looks like an Oligochaete but it's hard to tell if it has setae on it
@@amandamills4410 Nono never! Don't feel that way! You're probably smarter in other ways that I'm not. I have a very select set of skills, which is all wildlife biology/ecology. I am terrible at math and lots of other things haha!
It should be noted that this is often (but not always) a key difference between legitimate hack videos and these content farms. It's not that there aren't some out there that _also_ give bogus (or at least abbreviated) "reasons", but the ones that don't are almost always just made-up nonsense. At least the ones that do give some explanation can be scrutinized or dismissed easier (which is also why most don't bother, aside from it being more work it provides additional red flags and less plausible deniability).
God bless Dave, she keeps feeding him nonsense and he keeps eating it with a smile. I can only hope he enjoys outstanding food in between these videos as compensation, since Ann clearly knows her stuff and how to make it properly
I (am not a lawyer) think that should be possible - they're clearly showing instructions, not some fantasy. Of course, it's quite possible they go the route of basically saying "Only a moron would believe the stuff we claim to be true." (One should think this should be impossible, but alas...)
"Should" is for half-baked idea. There's no suing a car company if you see a Ford do a flip in an action movie and decide to try it yourself and get hurt. These videos are Hollywood, not educational. They are almost basically just propaganda which is legal in most countries as far as I know. The reason for that is because if you try to ban bad information. It immediately and horribly becomes weaponized.
The onion in the stocking is an old tradition, especially in eastern countries (Russia, Romania, Ukraine, etc). My Romanian grandmother does it all the time. No matter how much i tell her it makes no difference, she won't believe me :)
My mom, who grew up in the Cumberland Gap area of Virginia, told me how her mother would make onion "braids" using the dried stems attached to the bulb then hang them up in the pantry where it was drier and cooler.
It's also something they tell gardeners to do for their bulb/tuber type plants. I know they say to do that for caladiums. (Though I've done both paper bag method and the panty hose method and like she says, most it does is keep mold from spreading)
I would guess maybe it's to keep them all from going bad at once more than storage. My Italian grandma was very poor growing up and she does whatever she can to conserve what she can. Some are more useful than others though 😅
One thing! Just one thing! Please tell IT to me: WHY tf do I have so many fans even though no TH-camr is unprettier than I am? WORLDWIDE!!!! WHY??? Tell me, dear dwl

@@tsm688 curiosity, and the onion idea can work, but they need to be stored somewhere both cool and dry. The idea in hanging them up is to help air circulation, which encourages this. It's a really old way to store onions, only they didn't use to hang them in stockings, but simply plaited in strings
My unused white onions once sprouted HUGE green stalks and I just let it go to see what happens, and it was awesome. Another time, I had red potatoes left in a wire basket and they sprouted out of their eyes right through the basket, creating all these spiky pods on the outside of the basket. It was so impressive, but reminded me I need to take better care of my kitchen veggies, and use them up before they start trying to escape!
I didn't know until recently, that potato sprouts are OK to eat, provided they aren't green. So if they are stored in the dark, they should be All Right.
US lawyer here. In the US, under "Section 230" there is generally tort immunity for website platforms relative to 3rd party content. So, no, while you could sue the creator potentially, Google/TH-cam have immunity from civil liability.
I understand the principal of that legislation, that big companies can't watch every single thing that happens, but it's morally disturbing to me that they don't seem to care!
@@heatherm4078 I’m sure Ann isn’t the only person who’s reported these types of video’s to TH-cam. The fact they are doing nothing to take down this dangerous content, shows just how much they really don’t care!

@@HowToCookThat for Dave Dave of your being forced to try bad stuff you can tell us its okay
The fact that TH-cam doesn't seem to care about the dozens of children getting hurt because of the content they are choosing to maintain in their platform is just infuriating. It's great that you're bringing attention to this issue
Why care about people, when you can care about money instead?
It’s all about the money. They are basically risking people’s lives for the money
It's not that they don't care (if they didn't care they wouldn't care about tonnes of other problematic categories as well), but more than moderating a large platform is ridiculously complex. That doesn't give them a free pass at all, but as they always say "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.". So yeah, bringing attention to it again and again is indeed the best thing to do. Best thing to do is to contact any (big) advertisers that you see before such videos, as them complaining to TH-cam sometimes results in FAR quicker escalation.
We're targeting the wrong people... Tell the advertisers about it, and that policy will change super quickly.
It's a shame that the adpocalypse was caused by the odd stupid video that slipped through the net, rather than the systematic promotion of life-threatening hacks to children.
Yeah the best bet is to complain to advertisers or sue the platform for gross negligence. That being said you probably couldn’t sue unless you have been hurt by one of the dangerous hacks.
I’m just glad to see you serving the properly-prepared popcorn to Dave so he doesn’t have to eat only the disasters.
I think the onion trick might be more useful if you grow your own and are trying to dry/cure them so they will store. It would keep them suspended, away from bruising/mold, and with plenty of airflow. The only issue is that unless using old stockings, they're expensive enough I wouldn't want to dedicate a whole bunch of stockings to that purpose.

The saga
The one with the forehead tape was really funny to me as a marine biology major. Most of the organisms shown, such as the daphnia (water flea) and a copepod, are found widely in aquatic environments, but don’t exactly thrive on human skin. Plus, they’re clearly swimming, which would not be possible on a piece of tape
I thought something was off by the fact that the orginizums looked like they were swimming as tape would most likely stop them or make them look like a fly on fly paper. But I don't know anything about this topic so I wasn't sure. Thank you for confirming that for me!

TH-cam isn’t responsible for you or your children. That’s your job. You have the personal responsibility to do your own research and think for yourselves.

REMEMBER these are KIDS who either don't know better or who just want to have fun.
@@kterhune100 Exactly. I completely agree with you. Not all children have the luxury of a responsible caregiver. On top of that, even responsible caregivers can not possibly watch the children in their care every second of every day.
It’s also incredibly unfair to put adult level personal responsibility on children/teens who don’t even have the capacity to understand what that means.

Hi - Australian lawyer. I think it is arguably negligence. Google has in the past been liable in defamation for distributing defamatory content written by third parties. Seems to me the same principles would apply. Would be interesting to see this one litigated.
Edit: as this comment has so many likes, I thought I should probably add a couple of things;
-This isn't legal advice
-Liability of YT for any specific injury may hinge on when YT was made aware of the video
-This probably isn't a slam dunk case
Question, if you’re willing: Would it be more likely they’d be able to sue youtube, or the individual content creator who posted it?
This should be one of the top comments!
@@DoKuShOsTaR they could try suing one of these dodgy content farms but my understanding is that they're all based in Eastern Europe and would be hard to serve and actually get them into a courtroom.
Google would likely try to argue it was just a passive conduit, didn't owe a duty of care, and so on.
IANAL, but from my understanding of American law, TH-cam wouldn't be liable (unless it involves trafficking). That being said, you're able to sue anyone for anything even if everyone knows the lawsuit is baseless. You might even win some damages (though not likely).
P.S. Just in case, I know you said you're Australian, I'm just bringing in another country's perspective.
@@abeytuhanu Not a lawyer but you've got the idea right for the united states. The platforms themselves are protected from liability by section 230 of the communications decency act. In all likelihood if suit were brought against youtube or google it would be dismissed for this reason. You would likely be more successful bringing suit against the content farm, but I suspect as mentioned above they incorporate themselves in locations that make this difficult. I also remember seeing a story years ago that indicated a lot of them will dissolve and reincorporate should there be a problem.

Even if they don't have a policy surrounding Dangerous Hacks, the loophole needs to be addressed by them at some point. Dangerous Hacks have been very prominent on the platform for a very long time, enough to acknowledge and ammend their policies to include it. Their ignorance towards this goes to show their Negligence and Lack of Responsibility towards their consumers.
Thanks Ann for having our backs and debunking these videos + cautioning us. The best we can do for now is share her videos to educate people and hope someone files a strong law suite or YT amends it's policies asap.
You kinda avoided her question 😅
I have to wonder though, and I'm not a lawyer myself, if TH-cam has some kind of "Release of Liability" clause in their Terms of Service that basically says that you, the User of the Service shall not hold TH-cam Liable for any harmful or dangerous content that is disseminated on the Service and subsequently acted upon by you, the User. Thereby legally passing the buck on to the individuals or the organizations behind the individual channels and thus necessitating the filing of lawsuits towards channels on an individual, ad hoc basis and freeing TH-cam from the risks of being held liable as a named party in any kind of a lawsuit be it individual or class action.
And since many of these "5 minute crafts" type hacks channels more than likely do everything they can to obfuscate where and how you can contact them in order to properly serve them a legal document, good effing luck hitting those organizations with enough lawsuits to shut them down. They operate so dang many channels and pump out so much content that TH-cam happily profits from running advertisements on that they probably couldn't care less to lose one or two channels to lawsuits.
I have no idea why TH-cam doesn't have some sort of warning, or doesn't force content creators to have some sort of warning at the beginning of their videos once someone has reported them.
Tik Tok has a warning saying "The actions in this video could result in serious injury" on videos involving stunts and other things (sometimes on random videos for no reason, but anyway). They're also apparently trying to crack down on misinformation, removing videos that have been proven to be false, AND have an "unverified content" warning for videos where it's not super clear if it's true or not (which would apply to most 5 Minute Crafts videos).
Twitter seems to have a prompt to read something before sharing the headline, to crack down on the spreading of misinformation.
Facebook has a thing that tells you if a link is dodgy or has been proven incorrect, especially if it's related to the pandemic.
TH-cam has been around since before any of those, but there's nothing on there to help people not fall for dangerous misinformation? I guess it's because so many of the views (so, revenue) come from watching and sharing videos that are just too ridiculous to believe. I mean, how many people shared Rebecca Black's "Friday" music video to their friends, compared to a nice song they personally like?
@@ceekay3143 I've thought about it before this video even, and the problem with cracking down on "harmful misinformation" is that it's far too broad of a term. It becomes a slippery slope when it comes to anything controversial, and gives the platform control on what to censor. Essentially has the ability to remove freedom of speech from the platform. Granted that depends on the position the platform takes and all ---- but that's still not ideal, especially since a lot of popular channels are controversial ones, or debate channels with hot takes.
Really, they just need a way to require any dangerous video to have a warning/disclaimer, and to crack down on what the term means, banning all of it from appearing on youtube kids' searches. There would still be accidents, but far less.
Or, of course, when these loopholes pop up they could simply add a policy against whatever it may be....
Edit: Fixed a grammar error.

I’m visiting family in another city and they told me how someone in their neighborhood burnt a house down as the owner tried to cook steak in a toaster.

Hey Ann. The pantyhose trick is common when dealing with Vidalia Onions, which are so high in sugar and water that they will go bad if they are left to touch each other. This is actually recommended to folks in America that buy a LOT of Vidalia's-I have done it too. And it does work-albeit the Vidalia's are consumed long before 6 months. Some Vidalia's can be eaten like an apple as they can be so sweet.
Mind you that Vidalia onions are ONLY grown in Vidalia, Georgia, US and there are actually laws that say you cannot brand an onion a Vidalia, unless it is actually grown there-no clue how many companies cheat on that though.
They're called sweet onions if they're not grown in Vidalia- same thing.
@@dreaming-of-spots6805 not the same thing. We have sweet onions in germany and they are just a little less sharp in taste than a regular one. Definitely not sweet enough to bite into like an apple.
@@emiliana1767 I don't think y'all have Vidalia onions in Germany. *Here* tho sweet and Vidalia are the exact same thing.
we get Walla Walla sweets on the left coast and they're fantastic. Low sulfur soil or something, but big, juicy, mild onions that are very sweet.
As info, “Vadalia” is registered so only onions grown in Vadelia (an area in Georgia USA) can use that name, like some wines and cheeses can only use region-specific labels if produced in that region.
I'm not a lawyer, but the basis of the infamous "hot coffee" lawsuit in the 90s against McD's was not that the old lady got burned, but that dozens of cases of severe burns had been caused by a number of factors that the company did nothing to remedy over some stupidly long period of time. The purpose of the old lady's suit was to make the company take purposeful action regarding an actual dangerous set of circumstances. She originally only wanted her medical bills paid, the judge decided to add on punitive damages, which I think she ended up seeing little of anyway. I digress, it should be perfectly reasonable to take TH-cam to court for something dangerous which has been shown repeatedly to be so, but this platform and many others seem to have become too mighty...

Regarding the hacks: Best thing to do is to contact any (big) advertisers that you see before such videos, as them complaining to TH-cam sometimes results in FAR quicker escalation.
Ooo what a sneaky idea, I love it
I think people should do this. It seemed to work on big youtubers.
What if that triggers another adapocalypse
Excellent idea! Anne actually regularly reccomends that we do just that - take a screen shot of their add on the video and send it to advertisers so they know exactly what they're paying for. Great to see someone saying so in the comments!
You realise ads are different on the same video for each person depending on profile, search habits, country, city, county, time of day, time of year, political affiliation, religious conviction, among many others. Yes it’s really that complicated.
The fact that TH-cam hasn’t banned 5-Minute Crafts yet is just…disgusting. They don’t care about viewers’ safety as long as the channel is making them money.

How bout you actually take care of your kids instead of letting the internet raise them then
@@wolfetteplays8894 well I don’t have kids yet, but I know from my own experience being a kid that I did tons of things without my parents’ knowledge. Luckily nothing I did was dangerous, but all it takes is a couple minutes for a kid to get hurt. You can’t put all the blame on parents because it’s impossible/crazy to be aware of your kids’ actions 100% of the time. “Family-friendly” websites like TH-cam need some regulation too.
@@wolfetteplays8894 it's not a matter of parents not watching kids. When I was younger I accidentally caught a pillow case on fire in the middle of a night because I saw or read somewhere that it would be good to dampen the light from an exposed light bulb since i tore up my lampshade earlier that day. Parents were asleep and it took only about 30 seconds for it to catch fire. Educating kids about what is dangerous and what is not is a better response. I know better now and was able to put it out but if the false info wasn't out there it more than likely wouldn't have happened
@@wolfetteplays8894 yeah, because you can control your children completely, they are not humans who make mistakes no matter what... Even if you never let them use the internet, that doesn't prevent them from hearing these things from friends. You clearly don't have children, so just keep your ignorant judgements to yourself.

Organic merely means relating to or obtained from living things. Basically anything relating to carbon compounds - i.e. carbon based. So all living things are organic.

This way of storing onions is very popular in Slavic (post-soviet too) countries. I'm from Belarus and my grandmothers do the same for all their lives, the same as their friends, and as my family do too.
Mostly it's for better ventilation that huge amounts of onions need. When you storage onion for 6 months it's not just 3 bulbs, the measurement goes in boxes! And one has to keep it in the cellar, which has increased dampness. And rotting in the boxes can have unpleasant consequences (believe me, you don't want to know, only rotten potatoes in boxes are worse)
So it does help with bigger amounts and also looks fun in the cellar hahah something like onion stalactites
When you mentioned rotten potatoes I could SMELL it. It’s been years since the last time I’ve had potato’s rot but man is that a STANK
My slavic families do it as well. My mom teached me how to store them.

You could make an entire video about how you like to clean your pots, pans, and microwave after giving the hack a go. Do you have a certain mixture or substance that you like the best? I feel like, as a food scientist, you might have some great insight into what actually works to get your stuff clean.
I'm all for this.
I'll save Ann and everyone else the bother.
There are already fifty zillion TH-cam videos telling you to use either baking soda and vinegar, the eco method, which doesn't actually work on most heavy duty muck, or, the saviour of us all, Barkeepers' Friend, which does work on most heavy duty muck.
Then for the really nasty stuff, there's Easy Off, which is NOT recommended by the manufacturer but which innumerable videos show works fairly safely on that burnt on discolouration we all get on pots, baking trays etc., that nothing else shifts.
There now. Is everybody happy? You bet your life we are.👍😎
@@Beruthiel45 Those are some interesting tips, but I’m mainly suggesting that our friend may have a unique perspective as a trained scientist and might have fun making it into a video. Then again, she’ll have to demonstrate the cleaning effect by…cleaning! 😂☠️

The only reason I could think of about preserving onions by warping them in stockings (or whatever that's not air-tight) is that you could hang them up in places with good airflow (like next to a window) so it saves some space in your kitchen while minimizing chance of mold spreading, especially when you have so many onions that you could only pile them up in a basket. The same goes for chilis and garlics.
Yes, my granny used that method. And if the onions still had stems, she made them into a braid - that actually looks nice. But stockings are less messy
Also good for storing ornamentals' tubers and bulbs.
The "Chocolate popcorn" was so bad it took 2 full seconds for poor Dave to process how bad it was.

With the parsley- one is ‘leggy-er’ than the other. They are trying to say that if the stalks have more leaves per stalk height, then it’s organic. The idea being that in-organic fertilizer makes it grow faster. Of course, anyone who grows parsley knows that it depends when in its life cycle it’s picked that makes the difference. The plants will get leggier as they grow longer, and they will often ‘bolt’ when there is an increase in temperature. So yes, there’s a difference between those bunches, but it’s not about whether it’s organic or not. The less leggy stuff usually does taste better though- just as with all greens, the newer they are, the more delicate the taste and texture.
As an herbalist can confirm. Anything could result in different growth rates, the type of soil, amount of sunlight, watering schedules, temperature, humidity. There's so many factors that can exasperate the rate of growth. It has nothing to do if it was organic or not.
So, less leaves means it will tatse better?

It should be noted that this is often (but not always) a key difference between legitimate hack videos and these content farms. It's not that there aren't some out there that _also_ give bogus (or at least abbreviated) "reasons", but the ones that don't are almost always just made-up nonsense. At least the ones that do give some explanation can be scrutinized or dismissed easier (which is also why most don't bother, aside from it being more work it provides additional red flags and less plausible deniability).

I appreciate how hard you push for people to not just listen to you but to think critically and do their own research.
A person should be able to sue companies like 5 minute crafts knowingly put out dangerous content with no warnings to not try it
I (am not a lawyer) think that should be possible - they're clearly showing instructions, not some fantasy.
Of course, it's quite possible they go the route of basically saying "Only a moron would believe the stuff we claim to be true." (One should think this should be impossible, but alas...)
"Should" is for half-baked idea. There's no suing a car company if you see a Ford do a flip in an action movie and decide to try it yourself and get hurt. These videos are Hollywood, not educational. They are almost basically just propaganda which is legal in most countries as far as I know. The reason for that is because if you try to ban bad information.

The onion in the stocking is an old tradition, especially in eastern countries (Russia, Romania, Ukraine, etc). My Romanian grandmother does it all the time. No matter how much i tell her it makes no difference, she won't believe me :)
We did it just because it's an easy way to store.
@@madtabby66 and Ann did mention how its good in preventing from mold spreading. So yeah, convenience did play a part here
My mom, who grew up in the Cumberland Gap area of Virginia, told me how her mother would make onion "braids" using the dried stems attached to the bulb then hang them up in the pantry where it was drier and cooler.
It's also something they tell gardeners to do for their bulb/tuber type plants. I know they say to do that for caladiums. (Though I've done both paper bag method and the panty hose method and like she says, most it does is keep mold from spreading)
I would guess maybe it's to keep them all from going bad at once more than storage. My Italian grandma was very poor growing up and she does whatever she can to conserve what she can. Some are more useful than others though 😅

My unused white onions once sprouted HUGE green stalks and I just let it go to see what happens, and it was awesome. Another time, I had red potatoes left in a wire basket and they sprouted out of their eyes right through the basket, creating all these spiky pods on the outside of the basket. It was so impressive, but reminded me I need to take better care of my kitchen veggies, and use them up before they start trying to escape!
I didn't know until recently, that potato sprouts are OK to eat, provided they aren't green. So if they are stored in the dark, they should be All Right.
