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 RUclips but the fact that she is mentioning about a lawyer and if you can sue RUclips 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
She's a legend. The thinly-veiled threat/suggestion aimed at RUclips is baller. The fact that RUclips 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.
RUclips 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 RUclips 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. RUclips is 100% responsible for not doing anything about the dangerous content on the platform, and instead boosts it.
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 :]
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 fact that RUclips 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 RUclips 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.
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!
"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.
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 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
"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.
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
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, RUclips 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.
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!
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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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 🙄
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.
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.
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 RUclips'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 RUclips, because RUclips 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 .
This is how I know what's happening on 5 min crafts as I stopped watching ages ago because I hate content farms like that and I rather support people like Ann on RUclips
@@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.
The fact that RUclips 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 RUclips 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.
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.
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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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. RUclips 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 can see a use for the onion stocking hack... hand the onions on the wall. Some apartments and stuff have TINY kitchen with very little storage space, so hanging some onion stockings could save cabinet/floor space!
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
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.
Regarding the hacks: Best thing to do is to contact any (big) advertisers that you see before such videos, as them complaining to RUclips 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 problem with making platforms responsible to the content they host is that they're going to respond by cracking down hard on creators. Knowing how these businesses work, the people who would feel the brunt of that crackdown would be small creators, not the big ones who are making the platform money. This is how we ended up with the Tumblr porn ban.
And all the shadow blocking and limiting freedom of speech on this site :( you can't even write the word "knife" under some videos or your comment gets deleted within 20 seconds....
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.
@@scottydu81 I’d say fruit counts too. Sure - the reason it’s food it to get animals to spread the seeds - but fruit is meant to be eaten. There’s also a fee of other secretions directly intended to be food, like the kind certain cockroaches feed their young with.
Komi Luwak from Indonesia. Coffee drink made from coffee cherries that are fed to Civet cats and then the beans are collected from the scat. Humans are weird and sometimes it works for us.
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
I was today years old when I found out how bees actually created honey 💀 Idk why i never knew. You'd think they'd go over that in grade school when learning bout bees, but I guess they were more worried about little kids being 'grossed out' 😂😂
Bees are amazing! They're also really unique little bugs in that to get them to stay, beekeepers have to offer them better conditions than they'll find in the wild. If they don't like it with the beekeeper, they'll just pack up and leave, lol. There's no way to get them to stay if they don't want to.
@@dreaming-of-spots6805 and every beekeeper I know is absolutely in love with bees 😂 I wish people were more educated. I’m all for the vegan lifestyle but honey, really? Bee’s naturally make it. Beekeepers often SAVE bees
@@emilygriffith6702 seems like you are the one that needs to be more educated 🙄 bees make honey for themselves, it’s their food. Taking their honey does not help them (or us) in any way. Beekeepers that save their bees don’t steal their honey 🤷🏻♀️
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 RUclips 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!!!"😂
OMG I finally just got your book, Ann, it's so amazing! One of your books has reached Iceland :) I used to be a chef and have several cook books, but I've never been as excited about one as I am right now 😄
@@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!
One can learn so much new stuff! I am a biologist and have sort of been working with pollination (indirectly, by securing ecosystems with flowers for pollinators). I had never looked into how honey actually is made! And I didn't know about the NMR either. Thank you!
Iv made chocolate popcorn before and we popped popcorn in the microwave then we melted chocolate chips and drizzled it over the popcorn then smashed a candy cane and sprinkled it on the popcorn it was really good!
I cook popcorn for about 10 years and i just wanted to add that every time you try to pop corn with stuff already on it, it increases the chance of either burning or not popping the kernels. That goes for chocolate, butter, cheese, whatever you want. As Ann already stated, just do the popcorn without anything on it first (maybe just a bit of salt, but too much salt will also cause some kernels to not pop. Yes, even the sweet ones, it gives a better taste at the end) If you want a caramel popcorn i recommend simmering sugar and a bit of water in slow heat, you can also add powdered chocolate to it. Just the same way you'd do a regular caramel. Then you mix with the popcorn ALREADY popped. it works much better. Another tip i could give is use WINE VINEGAR (can work with other types of vinegar but i'm unsure) instead of water while doing the caramel. Just don't use it too much. It wont have a vinegar taste, dont worry. It sticks much better to the popcorn and it's much more crispy and dry. Using water can risk making a soggy popcorn if you're not used to do it.
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.
"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
Recently stumbled upon this channel and I've been binge watching. Love your content, soothing voice and your relationship with Dave😍❤️ New subbie from SA🇿🇦❤️
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.
I just sent feedback to RUclips saying this: Please modify the RUclips 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 RUclips's terms of service. Perhaps if they get enough feedback from users they will decide to do the right thing.
I really appreciate your ethical advocacy. I can't speak from a legal perspective, but I can say, ethically, that RUclips is profiting from dangerous, fraudulent how-to videos. Not only should they change their policy to remove dangerous how-to videos, they should hire you and people like you for your expertise and pay you to keep their viewers (everyone in the world, pretty much) and themselves as a corporation, safe.
Also not a lawyer but re: RUclips 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, RUclips 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.
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!!!
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.
Coming from someone whose first job was stocking a green grocers, organic or not, we would cut off the stems and soak veg in cold water to make the product look better on the shelf. If we had fresh cut flowers or something delivered we did those too (in another work area). Same thing,helps the stems draw up water.
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
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 RUclips 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! 😂☠️
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.
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

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 RUclips but the fact that she is mentioning about a lawyer and if you can sue RUclips 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!

@@TheTrueWarlic she would tho! w her loving hero partner dave ^^
She's a legend. The thinly-veiled threat/suggestion aimed at RUclips is baller. The fact that RUclips 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.
RUclips 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 RUclips 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. RUclips is 100% responsible for not doing anything about the dangerous content on the platform, and instead boosts it.
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!

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 fact that RUclips 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 RUclips 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.

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.

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, RUclips 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.

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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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
@@idonargesy8197 It all depends on whether or not the video had ad's on it, if it did then RUclips was getting payed for that video being posted.

@@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 RUclips 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

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.
You kinda avoided her question 😅
I have to wonder though, and I'm not a lawyer myself, if RUclips 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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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.
RUclips 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....

The description helps the blind enjoy videos like this and she writes her own captions to help the deaf too
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.
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.

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.
I love how you feature other creators and give them credit
The problem with making platforms responsible to the content they host is that they're going to respond by cracking down hard on creators. Knowing how these businesses work, the people who would feel the brunt of that crackdown would be small creators, not the big ones who are making the platform money. This is how we ended up with the Tumblr porn ban.
Which is how Tumblr died isn’t it? Like when OF was going to ban porn and everyone knew that would kill it.
And all the shadow blocking and limiting freedom of speech on this site :( you can't even write the word "knife" under some videos or your comment gets deleted within 20 seconds....

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
It looked quite a bit like the journey to the microcosm or whatever with hank green
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

I was today years old when I found out how bees actually created honey 💀 Idk why i never knew. You'd think they'd go over that in grade school when learning bout bees, but I guess they were more worried about little kids being 'grossed out' 😂😂
Bees are amazing! They're also really unique little bugs in that to get them to stay, beekeepers have to offer them better conditions than they'll find in the wild. If they don't like it with the beekeeper, they'll just pack up and leave, lol. There's no way to get them to stay if they don't want to.
@@dreaming-of-spots6805 and every beekeeper I know is absolutely in love with bees 😂 I wish people were more educated. I’m all for the vegan lifestyle but honey, really? Bee’s naturally make it. Beekeepers often SAVE bees
@@emilygriffith6702 seems like you are the one that needs to be more educated 🙄 bees make honey for themselves, it’s their food. Taking their honey does not help them (or us) in any way. Beekeepers that save their bees don’t steal their honey 🤷🏻♀️
@LUNARIS She wrote that she didn't know _how_ they make it. I didn't know either how the making process goes. very interesting and amazing.
I appreciate how hard you push for people to not just listen to you but to think critically and do their own research.

My sister got me your book for my birthday yesterday! I love it and can't wait for the two of us to try the recipes out!
OMG I finally just got your book, Ann, it's so amazing! One of your books has reached Iceland :) I used to be a chef and have several cook books, but I've never been as excited about one as I am right now 😄
Is it just me or Dave should be called "Dave the Brave" for being brave enough to try all these food hacks.!
Dave's a national treasure!
Dave The Brave....nice :p
yes
LOL good idea!
How about just "brave dave"? That sounds better!!!
That first one is such a waste, especially when you could just make a chocolate sauce / ganache to pour over it!
Also, just got to the honey one, and I have to say "Ah yes, my 3 favorite types of flowers. Sunflower, Blossom, and Ukraine"
I’m still trying to understand chocolate popcorn. Is it a thing?
@@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!
I tried tho with caramel, it didn't taste good
@@olpiv5287 yep, had a can of caramel popcorn that I ultimately threw away, it tasted so bad. Maybe chocolate is better.
Ur a legend Anne! I love how much you do to teach and entertain, please never stop!
One can learn so much new stuff! I am a biologist and have sort of been working with pollination (indirectly, by securing ecosystems with flowers for pollinators). I had never looked into how honey actually is made! And I didn't know about the NMR either. Thank you!

Also, I agree with @gimy gaming . Only the second??
I cook popcorn for about 10 years and i just wanted to add that every time you try to pop corn with stuff already on it, it increases the chance of either burning or not popping the kernels. That goes for chocolate, butter, cheese, whatever you want.
As Ann already stated, just do the popcorn without anything on it first (maybe just a bit of salt, but too much salt will also cause some kernels to not pop. Yes, even the sweet ones, it gives a better taste at the end)
If you want a caramel popcorn i recommend simmering sugar and a bit of water in slow heat, you can also add powdered chocolate to it. Just the same way you'd do a regular caramel.
Then you mix with the popcorn ALREADY popped. it works much better. Another tip i could give is use WINE VINEGAR (can work with other types of vinegar but i'm unsure) instead of water while doing the caramel. Just don't use it too much. It wont have a vinegar taste, dont worry. It sticks much better to the popcorn and it's much more crispy and dry. Using water can risk making a soggy popcorn if you're not used to do it.
I love the way how she explains those so nicely and I don't get any hard time understanding why those happens
i love how Ann created this healthy, educational environment by her channel. it's just what the youtube communit needs nowadays.
Hello. Giovanna
Facts.
healthy, educational environment surrounded by all the fatkid favorite sweets! :D I love it!
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.
so right
"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.
I like how u subbed her jut to comment these things
Do u think that 5 minute craft are just good people and Totally doesnt use content farms and try dangerous 'life hacks'?
@@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

Recently stumbled upon this channel and I've been binge watching. Love your content, soothing voice and your relationship with Dave😍❤️ New subbie from SA🇿🇦❤️
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.
Yeah Ann did talk about it, but I hope the neighbor is ok
Hopefully no cats were in the house. Or other animals.
I remember reading about this the other day, at least the people weren’t home because he decided to go out and get chips to go with the steak
@@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.
I just sent feedback to RUclips saying this: Please modify the RUclips 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 RUclips's terms of service.
Perhaps if they get enough feedback from users they will decide to do the right thing.
great idea!
It has been copied, pasted, and sent
Legal Eagle.
Sending now. Great idea.
how do you send feedback?
Awww look at all the people that love you, Ann! That was a huge line! Keep up the amazing work. Hugs from Buffalo, New York.
I really appreciate your ethical advocacy. I can't speak from a legal perspective, but I can say, ethically, that RUclips is profiting from dangerous, fraudulent how-to videos. Not only should they change their policy to remove dangerous how-to videos, they should hire you and people like you for your expertise and pay you to keep their viewers (everyone in the world, pretty much) and themselves as a corporation, safe.
Also not a lawyer but re: RUclips 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.
You can sue anyone for anything...if you have more money than they do. Otherwise, they're going to need a concrete case, so good luck.
@@Xeddicus427 I think the big question is more if, legally speaking, RUclips is responsible or if they would have to find a way to sue the people that posted the video itself
This would be an interesting crossover question with Legal Eagle. I think laws would have to change to make this possible, however.
@@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.

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.

Coming from someone whose first job was stocking a green grocers, organic or not, we would cut off the stems and soak veg in cold water to make the product look better on the shelf.
If we had fresh cut flowers or something delivered we did those too (in another work area). Same thing,helps the stems draw up water.
"Must see: organic tomatoes leak water when cut, non-organic ones are full of dirt and spiders"
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
Makes sence lol
I once cut open a non organic tomato and it was full of cigarette butts and 5G mobile phones. Don't do it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
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 RUclips 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! 😂☠️

This channel genuinely puts a smile on my face
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.
right? he's such a champ, he deserves lots of tasty food
