Nice work man
careful, this is the best format to get your video stolen by FB or instagram ;) great video anyway :D love your channel
And then snail die because of starving :)
How do you know he didn't steal it from one of those?
sandwich_ 12 imagine just dozens of dead snails around the plants cuz pf starvation
Just imagine what would happen to the snails if Electroboom decides to plant tomatoes this summer.
he would use a 10000 volts taser probably hahahahahah
Or colin furze. Not sure if the tomatoes would survive though
At a minimum, he would connect those copper strips to the utility 120v... and shock himself several times.
Oh no
Roasted snails all summer long
The following season snails learned how to unplug the battery
Ha ha ha
Evolution Lmaooo
In light of recent events concerning immortal snails chasing me for eternity, this could be useful!
Lol

🤣🤣🤣
Lmao
XD
Real fact :
Those Snails are not there for the tomatoes, they are coming for the electric shock therapy to shake off the cold !
😂😂
Lmao
nope!
HHGGHH
So you're telling me that they get turn on by it? Well
Masochist snails
Im growing snails this summer, need to keep the tomatoes away
Lol
I’m glad nobody replied something like “You said it wrong it’s the other way around.” Ruining the joke
You can you an Italian beacase the tomatoes dont want to be turned to
Spaget
That's funny! You're a mayter hater😂🤣
😂
Now snails will have stories about devils garden, with best tomatoes in the whole world. And myths about snails who never came back
Now that just writes itself, doesn't it?!
But... Devils garden has ants...
MADMAN we can ad those :)
What a shock in devil's garden
Cool
Shocking isn't it ....lol
never realized how fun it would be to watch snails in fast motion!
I transplanted some clover around and near my garden, I got the advice and clover from my master gardener neighbor.
Snails are hardly a problem because clover is quite tasty and more accessible than tall tomato plants and it grows like grass.
much nicer and kinder solution
I love how the solution for the unpotted plant was to just build a pot.
make a ground level fence with the same idea...
Just add some chilli flakes on ground
@@jaishambosainath4469 what if the snails like spicy food
@@tenerife_sea then why would they want to eat tomatos? 😎
@@LunarLaker to make hot salsa
what the heck man....
where are all those snails coming from...
he is playing plants vs Zombies, & it's final flag
This dude grows tomatoes,
But also snails
I was thinking the same thing. I've never seen so many snails in one place... except that one time Ryan Reynolds was a very fast one.
Don't worry they were all paid actors
I would have loved to grill all those snails and eat them. Snails are delicious. Anyone who thinks that's gross you are missing out on it. Just wait until I start cooking June bugs that tastes exactly like popcorn and they are extremely nutritional.
I bet now that I watched this, youtube will recommend me snail and tomato growing videos for the next month.
Seriously...
Watched one video about a bonsai tree last week and my youtube recommendations have been everything about the history of bonsai trees for a week now.
Disable your previously watched History.
Or delete the video that caused the issue from the watched list
Video suggestion: How to scale this idea for bigger farms.
It's called an electric fence
Just but tow big circles of copper around the field
@@sentient1640 You could hire little snails to patrol the electric fence that will warn off the other snails. Just an idea, dont shoot me
@@mrjamsherable lmfaaaaoooo
On a more serious note, buy some wire (like galvanised wire for fencing, but not the pvc coated stuff) and some wire staples. Wrap them around your raised beds and staple every so often
Snails: somehow manage to pass through it

Lol i see this as a absolute money and meme maker
Littarly the first thing I thought when I clicked the video haha!
Hears a light zapping in the distance: "honey the escargot is ready"
Smart, never taught about it. I wonder if the snails would figure out to disconnect the battery.
Snail: ouch! Magic forcefield has stopped me. I’ll just move an inch to the right and try again. I bet that will fix it
Maybe they studied Nazi Germany attack to France
U got more snails than tomatoes lol just make a 🐌 farm easy lol
good idea 😂😂😂
Right the French love them escargo, Blah!
Man I laughed so hard :p
@Guybrush Threepwood I like oysters better, but your right; Super foods!
But how you gonna stop the tomatoes from eating your snail plants ?
The videos really have gotten better by a lot in the past 3 years! They were already good here but now they’re really good! Congrats!
That sped up video with the snails is great. They look so happy ready to go and eat, like children running after free ice cream.

we gotta do more than that
Try 750v 6 phases shifter. instant smoke..
Awesome trick, thanks for the tip, can't wait to try it!
I did this a few years ago (without seeing this video) can confirm : works awesome! Great video!!!
Nice but...The King Snail can command them to sacrafice themselves by electrocution so that a bridge is created for the King Snail to cross and kill Bran Stark under the tomato tree
At least you understand
you mean the night snail? dont worry a bug eyed goblin person marry sue will fly out of nowhere and stab him with a valryria-i mean salt steel dagger and pwn him.
Unless he forgets that there is a bridge
Arya stark will come from nowhere/somewhere and kill the King, rendering all snails deceased.
It's amazing we need more creative content like this thank you
Wow, I can not belive how greatly this contrapsion works. Love your videos, keep it up :)
Everything was fine... until the snails broke through our Defenses, they took our power plants, they took our tomatoes
Lol.
Plants vs Snails!!
sounds familiar, reference to what?
I see what you did there... 😏😜
@@hihtitmamnan atla
I think you have an actual problem with snails
Yeah he 100% needs to get some ducks
If I where to do this I’d hook up 8 or 9 batteries to it to cook those puppies like hot cakes 🐌⚡️💫
@maineking94 No chickens will destroy everything I literally can't let mine out for 2 minutes unwarched they destroy all my crops
Yeah! Wire that to the mains and fry them!
@maineking94 guess it depends on the fuck/chicken
Haha awesome. 👏🏻 so much for the “factory” copper tape that suppose to emit a small static electrical charge when a slug or snail attempts to cross it. UPGRADE to LEVEL 💯
Really useful Thanks
Video :No animals were harmed in the making of this video .
Snails : Am I a joke to you ?
Its way better than using poison tho
No they don't get hurt 🙄
am i joke to u? UGHH SO ANNOYED STOP IT
@@MultiChantal22 then why are they avoiding the 2nd copper wire, its because the electricity connects to the snail thus grounding it, it hurts them but not much its like a pinch to us humans if were the snails
Fuck snsils
I was secretly hoping for one snail to bring a ladder. 😅
That is exactly what moths use when they get stuck in a bath
Lol 😂
I mean right? When a moth needs to move vertically upwards, its first instinct is to use a ladder. lolol
Lol
The outdoor "fix" at the end won't work once it rains or a sprinkler floods the battery.
wow! the timelaps of snails made this video so enjoyable actually 😍
Very cool. My garden is going to end up looking like a mission impossible obstacle course. 👍
To be honest I kinda preferred hearing your voice with these videos, I find it is what separates you from many other channels out there and makes you my favorite.
Oz That is fair enough but I would not mind waiting for him to get it done...
What a great idea. Too bad there isn't something like this for all the other tomato bugs.
Their reaction was like their first time seeing their online crush irl
wild snail appeared!
wild snail used climb!
tomato used thunder shock!⚡️⚡️⚡️
it is super effective!
wild snail fainted!
tomato gained 200 points!
Juan Dela Cruz thank you for this comment 😂
gotta catch em all
Good
the potatosaurus body slam on tiny plant lol snail got em
snail didnt faint, it ran away
Found snail on my sunflowers and sme chewed up leaves so I went and looked for stuff to do and found this vid...
The pot was too big for the 9v so I cut some rubber mats, wrapped it around the stem then wrapped the aluminum tape (couldn't find copper tape but it works just as well, just kinda tricky to solder the wires to it) keep it there, then attached some wires leading to a 9v battery hidden in a medicine bottle (for the weather proofing).
Totally works so thanku for this idea.
I’m very sick today. But your videos help me calm down. You have a very nice voice.
Nice work
You do realise you're setting an evolutionary process in motion to evolve electricity resistant super snails, do you? :-)
Or flying snails...
Or maybe even eel snails that can shock back. That would be nice, would't it?
Please don't give people ideas to forcefully evolve insects!!! Next thing you know we'll have flying tarantulas everywhere!!!!!!! Giant flying tarantulas!!!!!
Angel Thanks for the idea !!
Funny, but not possible. Snails can only adapt within the bounds of their DNA. Nor will their progeny become anything other than a snail without human manipulation of their DNA.
You snailed it 🐌
Get. Out
Lol
I love your videos!

I just emailed this to one of my housemates that takes care of our fruit trees! We don't have an issue with snails; but we have a major issue with worms that get into apples and pears. They apparently crawl up the trunk first.
They are tinny little things though, so, I'm not sure if you'd be able to get copper tape close enough together that they can touch both strips at the same time. Who knows though; he might figure out a way.
Has to be better then all of the other ways we try to keep them away.
You ca try copper mesh or tape on it's own. Just be sure to place layers on top of each other for the trial.
Wow,Brilliant idea,Thanks for sharing,I will try this in my garden😍👍
It doesn't work, snails keep removing the battery.
Doubt it, plus you can always just place the battery inside

I knew snails are getting smarter..soon enough they'll take over the world before we even realize
Because of you, there will be a natural selection of snails, and they will be able to construct snails bridge : o
You mean snail ladders?
or become resistant to electricity
or develop a taste for human flesh

I love how when It gets shocked the snails head is absorb into itself
the word ur looking for is "retract"
the fast forward part of the potted tomatoes gave me quite a good laugh...good idea...
I really had no idea snails liked tomatoes this much lol. We grew them growing up but I don’t remember having to deal with them getting eaten by snails
Instructions unclear, them snails used this to power up their cities under dirt, and then government came to my house and gave electricity bills to the snails
Damn them damn snail

Great video!
9 volts are expensive to I plugged it into my outlet and when I come out I have fresh tomatoes and fried snails it's a great snack
Lol Hahaha
Why would there be a outlet in a garden???
@@Rillaaa993 extension cord?
Don't eat wild animals, they might be poisonous
Also, 8 1.2v batteries in series(+ connected to -) will generate 9.6v
But I think you can get away with only one or 4, these are wet small animals, if you can test do it and share
@@0Arcoverde r/wooosh
Snails look freaky when the filming gets sped up.. can you imagine what the world would be like if they could move that fast. Gezzzzus!
2:33 imagine snails moving at that speed for real.🤣🤣
Brilliant, simply brilliant!
Great idea, but the last iteration will probably get full of water with the first rain, probably damaging the battery. I'd just switch it upside-down and have the battery protected within the cover while the copper wire runs externally as you did. Will also look better 😀🤙
This video has the funniest comments I ever read. I'm dying.😂😂😂
Best tips / contents are always in the comment section. (Doesn't matter the website)
"Internet expert", "world's best writers"
I’ll have to try this. Thanks.
Imagine this is how snails gain electricity resistance and evolve into slimes
There only 1 things im concerned about , just from where snails that much come from ?
In holland.. after a rainy day the whole garden is full of snails
Some of these are invasive species so there are no predators to hunt them down thus they breed all they like. Getting some birds should do a trick of getting rid of them
They are coming from your home...xd
I bet those snails got smart quick. Just don't let them catch you making those things. You will wake up with the snail mafia standing by your bed.
duh Oh no, not the snail mafia!
Hahaha, nice joke
I thought - "you will wake up with a bloody horse head in your bed"
Gosh! I'm dying 😂
That's how mafia work
Great job!

But when I took the shell off, it got a little sluggish...
Lucas stop it with the corny pun
STOP

Hello fellow r/dad jokes follower
You’re encouraging snail evolution and that scares me.
Wont be long untill they have wings or can jump.
@@ssaammeelliiss It has already happened, a flying snail flew into my window and cracked it's shell.
Lol
If they become resistive to electric shock the snails that can do that will breed or lay eggs or whatever and the snail said can't will die basic evolution
20 or more generations would suffice, how long would that take? suppose 6 weeks maturity age then 120 weeks = 2years?
4:10 u can make the hole a lot bigger, this way the plant can grow normally
That must be doing something they have called all their friend`s to play pmsl,brilliant man.
Licking a 9v battery is bad enough, I cant imagine sticking one on my eye 😂
ah, I'm not the only one
Is this a dare?
@@khairulazhar2679 *yes*
Improve your screen time... You can....
i was thinking the same thing... he should be using cumbled egg shells. snails wont go near crumbled up egg shells.. egg shells also break down in to plant nutrients so 2 for 1.
To avoid a short-circuit and draining the battery whenever watering or rain, you could spray the sides to be hydrophobic. maybe that's even enough to stop them to begin with. But if hydrophobic spray doesn't stop them, it at least stops the current when the whole setup gets wet.
The time-lapse snails moving looks so trippy
The way they shrink their head in afterwards is so funny
