I love Lexi, I wouldn't understand a thing in this video without her explanation and it's nice that she doesn't judge the people either.
Wait Lexi is a woman?
@@arthurfontes7326 yeah
@@arthurfontes7326 Ye! She’s trans
@@case425 i dont care, if it has a dick its a boy
out of all the narrators, i wish i could just meet her for a day. i feel like she would pay attention and make me feel heard
The designer of that hot water tap in Vietnam really took the word "Improvisation" to another level.
Yes
The candle doesn't have enough heat to heat the water
@@justplay2508 Water is already somewhat warm due to climate there, so you don't really need much heating :)
@@ceu160193 Morning shower water though? No.
@@Lazymotion Would depend from how far you open it.
I saw this, and my first thought was, "If it's not Lexi narrating, I will riot"
She's just perfect for these subs xD
@@WuffiePhoenix oh she absolutely is!
@@WuffiePhoenix understatement of the century
Omg! Me too! Love the Lexi-kitty!
I love it when her voice goes high pitched when she sees something cute or gets confused
4:00 In Germany we have something called TÜV basically a Mandatory Vehicle inspection every 1-2 Years and if u pass you get a Special sticker for ur License plate and if u don't your not allowed to drive on the Public roads anymore and u will get pulled over like immediately.
Calling it a special sticker makes it sound kind of adorable
Most developed countries have this like 'free' healthcare US not because they are very special D
Yeah, I would be genuinely scared to be on the road with a vehicle that hasn't passed inspection. Drivers are already bad enough, I don't want to share a road with a speeding bomb.
How anyone can be against vehicle inspection is beyond me. It's not like people are alone on the roads and will only endanger themselves if the brakes don't work or the engine is about to go up in flames. 😅
@@sylverscale Because some people aren't as cautious, as law demands it. Once upon a time I saw vehicle in Russia, that can be vaguely described as "putting pieces of car on motorcycle base", and guy even had license plate.
As soos as I heard Lexi, I knew to expect three types of reactions:
“I would do this”
“I have done this”
“Nobody should ever do this”
Lexi’s definitely my favourite narrator, she’s got a great sense of humour lmao
Lol SoCal girl here, Elotes carts are most COMMONLY made from actual shopping carts lifted from the local stores lol. Imho if the Elotes ain't comin out of a stater bros shopping cart, I don't trust it. Also I love the fact you cannot locate the Taco Bell hot sauce for sale anywhere infuriates you as much as it does me. xD I even moved to another state, still can't find it.
This implies you moved to a different state just to get a taste of that Taco Bell sauce.
@@abbycollins I can neither confirm nor deny this as a contributing factor. Edit: I also may or may not have gotten into a relationship with a military man for free travel to another state when deployments change to hunt for said hot sauce. xDDDD Sorry couldn't resist.
I live down South, and I think my mom's found the Taco Bell mild sauce in jars at some places(we live in Alabama, but I imagine that how easy that stuff is to find depends on where you are here).
Can't it just be ordered online? (I've found it in my local Walmart but I'm not in the south)
We certainly have it in MD
Lexi is an engineer through and through. She genuinely amazes me with not only how knowledgeable she is, but also just how many cool projects she has done! It's one of the BEST things about Lexi~~ Merry Christmas, to Lexi, Emkay and y'all~ ♥
Redneck engineering at its finest...
@Nef Waenre *He
@@blackkakari Nah its she
@@Johan_the_Marshal Why, because it's "Her truth"? Explain how simply identifying as something makes you that thing. There are people who identify as cats and dogs. Are they real cats and dogs?
When your perception of yourself doesn't match reality, that's called a delusion. Take someone who identifies as a seagull, get them to strip naked, jump off a skyscraper and flap their "wings". See what happens.
@@blackkakari nobody identifies as animals irl
that's just internet stuff used to make trans people look stupid
Ah yes, and now we can observe the one of a kind Lexikitty in her natural habitat, r/Redneckengineering.
I would have said she is more at home in r/hardwaregore, but yeah
@@eliasbischoff176 Both are her natural habitat.
@@eliasbischoff176 is she like a proper engineer or is she just really into it
@@tieflingcorpse9817 I think she works in IT, or at least used to
@@eliasbischoff176 that explains alot
"It doesn't involve propane so I'm sure it's fine" just shows how having to look at this much ridiculousness will eventually lower anyone's standards
Also "extreme spreadsheets" are two words I never ever expected to hear together
They just be out here making super bombs in massive labs and were just her useing coke cans and hot glue to make a light switch
Lexi is my favorite emkay narrator. She adds so much to it while being funny at the same time.
11:50 I know those! They were a commercial product where it was a van/boat hybrid thingy, the boat would slide off at a boat ramp and the van front could then be parked. If you want to see a restored one, look up the video "coolest guy at the boat ramp"
THOSE EXIST?!?!?! That is awesome. I want one now
That thing is beautiful! I have SO much envy!
Elote = corn. It's basically a street corn vendor. Elote in this context is grilled ears of corn that are covered in butter and other various toppings, usually a slathering of Mexican mayo, cheese, and various spices and sauces. It's very much a South southwest thing, or else in places with heavy mainland Hispanic populations.
5:49 is terrifying. There's a reason those coil compressors are as expensive as they are. Those springs can do a frightening amount of damage if they get loose while under pressure.
The danger cylinder
Wait... Vehicle inspections aren't standardized across the US? You have to get one every year in pennsylvania or you can't legally drive your car.
Not only is it to make sure that you're not doing dumb shit, but a lot of it is just because cars get a lot of wear and tear in the span of a year up here (we can go from pretty high temps to negative temperatures in the span of a few months). Because of that, you have to make sure that your tires aren't dry rotting, that everything in your engine is working properly, your steering is good, etc.
It's not done by like the DMV or anything, you can go to basically any mechanic and get it done, so it's not difficult or time consuming. It's not particularly invasive either, since despite being mandated, the government isn't actually all that involved. In my experience it generally cost between $100-$200, but a lot of times you can get discounts by having a good relationship with your mechanic and it kind of depends on the car you're driving. Cars are already kind of a white elephant when it comes to cost.
Kind of worrying to me that this basic safety practice isn't standard lol. It's like not having an OSHA inspection or doing regular maintenance of your fire systems. I've probably driven past thousands of out-of-state drivers who are going 100 on the turnpike in uninspected death machines with a hundred gallon tank of kerosene in the trunk.
Yeah, same reaction from a fellow More-snow-than-alaska-ite. Found out Florida requires no inspection after purchase and you renew your license once every 8-10 years.
No inspections here in Wisconsin.
As a floridian, I've seen about half of these in person. The other half.. gave me ideas.
I am SO glad it's Lexi on this subreddit. She always brushed off some of the DIWhy as redneck engineering, and now she gets to nerd out on a whole video of it!
9:56 That VW Camper, is Mav's. Mav has a TH-cam channel (Mav) where he camps in that, in the back of his pickup, and now in a cute japanese minicamper. but that one is Mav's, you can tell because of the ding taken out of the... sideboard? just before the rear fender.
" Tiny Car Camping in the Middle of the City "
That might even be a screen shot from one of his videos.
I was just about to post this. I was thinking, " Bruh!! That's Mav's car. Nice".
@@AnimeBigBoy fr same
The bumper sticker is also the same
3:49 that’s an American mind set if I’ve ever heard one 😂 no I don’t want you to check my car for problems that could actually kill other road user
i love lexi she just has such genuine wonder for this subreddit
Lexi slowly coming to the realization over the course of the video that she is, indeed, a redneck. Embrace it! Yessssss....
I love Lexi, she's the best narrator. She has such a "Chaotic good" energy
Love your pfp
@@Null-value thanks dude
She?
@@SomeRandomPiggo yes
@@Catwithaknife69 Damn, didn't know
I had no idea that regular car safety inspections were not a thing in a bunch of states in the US. Although it explains some of crazy car stuff on reddit.
Yay, Lexi!
Just wanted to say, Merry Christmas Lexi and all the other Emkay Narrators! I wish you all a Happy Holiday!
4:06 Literally every country has what we in New Zealand call Warrants of Fitness (WOFs) for vehicles. Because when you drive, it's not just your life potentially in danger. It's every other driver/passenger's lives too.
12:12 this is the best thing I've seen made from scrap vehicles in a while. It works so well.
The laugh and "you can do stealthy brakes" just... Love it. 10/10, keep being great Lexi.
6:47 or ya know, do the same thing but with like 10 less screws
I feel like they point a gun at Lexi's head and forced her to look at the most fucked up computers and diys possible
Watching this on Christmas day. Lexi more the day easier to deal with. Thanks Lexi!❤
9:00 an elotero is simply someone who sells street corn. Street corn, street Tacos and tamales are always strangely delicious when they’re sold by seemingly sketchy people out of shopping carts or pickup truck beds like this.
9:56 That's Mavs beetle camper! For those who don't know, Mavs is a youtuber who likes to solo camp using his vehicles. I recommend you guys to check him out, his videos are so relaxing.
The only thing funnier than Lexi explaining tech support, is Lexi explaining Redneck Engineering.
This was one of the funniest EmKays and glad it was Lexi saying exactly what I was thinking most of the time.
13:48 I used to work at a carpet plant. I ran the cutting table.We had two slots on the table for trash and one trash can. I used carboard to make a chute connecting both holes to the trash can. My team loved it for a week until we had to take it down. My boss was impressed but displeased.
Watching this makes me realize that the "manga shelf" I made when I was like 12 would be considered redneck engineering... I had a good sized container that I painted purple and took a bit of some super thin rope (it was all we had) and did SEVERAL wraps through the hand holes and under the bottom, and tacked it to the wall... I had 5.5 pounds worth of manga and a super Mario mushroom lamp which weighs like 0.5 pounds so 6 pounds being held up for 3 years cause it wasn't replaced until I was 16 and finally got a real shelf (still a small one) and replaced it... It never once fell, and considering I didn't put any sort of calculations into it because I was ya'know, 12, and just completely guessed, I'd say I did a pretty damn good job
I may have a picture of it, and if I do and can find it I may post it on there lmao
@@Rynn- Did you find a picture of it?
Tennis balls in suspension springs is what people actually did to smuggle people out of East Germany back in the day. The escapees crammed into tiny compartments, and in order not to raise suspicion among border guards from a car riding too low because of the added weight, the helpers just stuffed a bunch of tennis balls into the suspension to make the car ride slightly higher. Some of those escape vehicles can be seen in museums. One of them in Berlin, of course.
Merry Christmas people at Emkay!
My grandad lives in rural Cumbria, he doesn’t lock his 4x4 because he doesn’t want the windows breaking and leaves the keys in so no one damages it by Hot-wiring it. You may think that’s insecure but no, an 74 year old completely colour blind man went into his cars electronics and installed a switch that turns the starter motor off. He sometimes forgets about it and just sits for a minute completely bamboozled. I kinda want to watch someone try to steal it because it would just be so funny but no one steals anything in rural Cumbria.
This subreddit is the perfect fit for lexi, keep up the good work yall
Lexi would love r/battlecars
5:40 that’s an Australian outlet too, so that’s 240V!
"I trust gravity to win against a redneck"
Careful, Lexi. Some may see that as a challenge.
merry Christmas to the WHOLE EMKAY TEAM I've managed to watch ALMOST all your videos
lexi : approves of 75% of them, has done 20% of them. . .
5:15 we built a whole shed for our garbage cans and the Toronto raccoons literally chewed through the 2x4's
1:56 as someone who lives on a gravel road where the county gives you crappy mailboxes, yes that would have some great bounce back for whenever a snowplow or grader comes by and hits it. I want it
The bandaid on envelope thing is a "get well soon" card. A single bandaid wasted is probably the cheapest novelty of all compared to a battery operated singing card or some-such. You'll remember the bandaid for decades and I bet you can't remember the song the last singing card played.
That boat van thing is an actual product; it's a camper-van where the back part is a boat-hauler. All the sleeping accommodations and such are in the boat, which as a front door that opens to the rear of the van interior. You can launch the boat and it works independently. It's a neat idea, just sorta problematic due to how proprietary it all is.
0:17 could we please appreciate the little frowny face below the main speaker.
Merry Christmas EMKAY!
Apparently Winn-Dixie is where all the little round Taco Bell sauce jars have been hidden away. Good luck, friend!
1:25 Man, you can find this exact setup everywhere in my city during the pandemic
8:54
El Elotero is absolutely a southwest thing, Elotero is a Spanish word that means "Corn vendor" and that man is indeed a vendor of corn in a cup
Hearing lexi talk about cars makes me so happy as a car guy
4:15
They're not more expensive if you steal them from work. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
For certain states, inspection js damn near useless, like Michigan.
I saw a car up there missing a whole door, made an awful squeeling noise when it braked, and had a massive crack down the middle of the windshield.
Pray your state has them or else the 60 mph (100 kmh) zoomie boys will be alot more spicy
I haven't slept in 5 days going on 6 these are the videos I watch at night.
They’re called swamp coolers, because sometimes when they used to much and not maintained, they smell like a swamp 11:35
My only complaint about this video is that it has an ending. I could watch these all day.
me when i have to sit by someone in school i dont wanna sit by: 9:21
MERRY CHRISMAS EMKAY
Now I can’t picture Lexi going anywhere without an overly pink pocket knife covered in glitter
Awesome video, thank you for all your work! :)
will always remember the time my dad tried to fix my laptop charger by electrical taping it so that the connection held. it lasted three days before it broke, scorched the carpet and more importantly scorched the bottom of my foot (dangling about an inch above it). my grandpa (rip) took one look at it and said that my dad was an idiot. to this day my dad insists that it worked therefore it wasn't dangerous lmao
Merry Christmas, Emkay.
I don't think I've ever watched your videos before, but as an Alabamian I enjoyed this one a lot 😂 and I just wanted to say that I REALLY like your voice 🥰
YESS NEW EMKAY POST (this was repeated a dozen times a day because theres always a new emkay post)
2:54 one of my childhood friends had a old mustang just like this lifted like half of our height in the air
Merry Christmas lexi
Please do more on this subreddit
Lexi's so wholesome!
“Just Use Duct Tape”
The 2 stroke gocart had me laughing.
True story, a 750cc V-twin motor, right side mounted on a gocart. At 115mph in a car, it was walking away from us. The man who built it was in the passenger seat said "yeah we're done, I'm taking it apart, it's gonna kill somebody". Everyone was afraid of that thing with good reason.
Hi Lexi! Merry Christmas! I have mango margarita today!
5:02 In Toronto Canada where I live one of the elevators in my local subway station has glass window panels (and it’s the type of glasses that has that wire mesh inside it that kind of looks like a square grid as well) and there are 2 of them broken in the same elevator (one on the side and one on one of the doors) and the transit company put plywood in the spaces temporarily so the elevator could still be used until the new glass panels arrive
5:21-5:25 that made me happy for some reason
These are examples of "If it does the job you need it to do, it ain't stupid." lol
That’s not a swamp cooler. Swamp coolers lower the temperature by making room temperature water absorb it and evaporate. Also, your fridge is just taking heat out of the water and putting it in the room, so there’s no point in using the now cold water to absorb it again to try and make the swamp cooler more effective.
5:54 THE WIDOW MAKER CLAMP IS CALLED A WIDOW MAKER FOR A GODDAMN FUCKING REASON!!!
Most autosale stores Will ask you about why you need it and try to suggest you to take it to shop then doing it yourself nowadays!!! (Why im like this... That is a car spring to hold up the car and its axle of the tire... It is basically a spring loaded cannon... ready to crush even the femur or skull or rib cage of someone!)
Glad to not be the only one to see the 'mudstang' an without pause, said YES... I want it!
That PS5 logic makes me the proud owner of a PS8 XD
Always love the lexi narrated emkay videos
A LEXI VIDEO FOR CHRISTMAS?!!?!??!!?!?
THIS IS THE BEST PRESENT EVER
4:44 the old ryobis have a level
at 1:48 I literally saw that on fb marketplace 2 days ago next to a c4 corvette on lile 40 inch boggers
10:55 That's not a swamp cooler. Actually, that is almost exactly the way the first air conditioners worked, and the measurement of cooling in "tons" is a reference to the amount of cooling a ton of ice can do. A "swamp cooler" uses water on a mesh of some sort with air being forced through it, which is NOT recommended unless you live in an arid climate.
love the fact that Lexy being a network engineer, was assigned this engineering subreddit. I want lexy to narrate another techgore video tho.
That "TTHHHHEEAAT'S GOOD ENOUGH"...? It needs to be it's own meme format.
i love lexi shes so silly
12:10 Very similar to the tracks they put on the Massey Fergusson tractors that went to Antarctica.
0:22 Bro thats literally fibonacci, mans a genius.
3:36 Ok but the fact that it's a police car though.
The red rocker switches controls the old halogen lightbars, wig-wags, deck flashers etc. (You can tell because the first switch label says "TD" which means "Takedown") and the black box on the top right is the siren controls & P.A. System (Most likely one with a knob switch instead of individual buttons).
4:49 As someone who has seen enough grass upkeep in my country where a grass cutter would replace the blade with zip ties instead, this shit work with extreme efficiency.
I'd just like to point out that the vehicle inspection wouldn't be mandatory, it's private property after all. But the road isn't the car-owners and is the "private property" of the government, so it's not unfair of the government to demand you prove the car you intend to drive on "their roads" is up to standards.
It's like how you have to prove you're able to drive by getting a drivers license, it's not a right to be allowed to drive a 1 tonne metal object out in public at over 60mph, it's something you need to demonstrate you're able to do. Car inspections is a part of proving that you're capable and aren't performing some weird form of russian roulette with the neighbourhood.
The dog truck at the end!!!!!!! YESSSSSS!!!!!
I love it when Lexi is the narrator
Thank you Lexi for teaching me the name "couplers" because I had no idea what to call those f-f joint cables
3:01 I’m in love
