I can not agree more. Very few things worth the time. If you are a DIY guy and look t it for examples you had best know a little on the subject because a lot of the content can get you hurt or even killed. Someone I use to work with 20 plus years ago about 5 years ago watching a video on how to burn wood using a microwave transform decided to try it. He is no longer among the living as the massive voltage ad amperage crossed his heart and killed him dead as his son watched.
Most of it is trash I do have a few people I watch as I love to weld and fabricate and wood work too. But then a again I was raised working in my dads cabinet shop and I took machine tooling classes in high school and went to a tech collage for the same thing and then I spent several years working as a welder in a fab shop. I am no saying you can not learn these skills watching youtube but I am willing to bet there are more bad examples of people using this equipment as their is good examples. It can be a useful platform to learn from if you have some prior knowledge and common sense but lets be real..... Common sense is far less common these days as people do not want to teach their kids responsibility or work ethic anymore than the kids want to learn it!
Your example of sports cars and stupidity bring one guy to mind as he is the dumbest spoiled rich kid tearing up every car he can get a hold of.. whistlindiesel is his channel. Besides that he is a prime example of doing things he knows nothing about doing safely or responsibly. Like when standing 4 feet from a 1 inch plate and shooting it with a 50 cal BMG.... What could possible go wrong there?... Besides the bullet bouncing back and hitting him in the forehead. No one knows how he survived.. lucky for him the plate took most of the impact and lowered the energy of the massive bullet just enough.. Personally I would of of laughed harder had it had killed him. Yeah I had no Idea he was either until reading about this, but is that not who you want to tech your kid gun safety. . I mean maybe he did a good job teach them that one time.
but what about the rest of the time. Kind of like the guy that packed the riding mower full of explosives and shot it from about 50 feet. The lawnmower blew up and the blade came off and cut his leg straight off below the knee. OMG I never laughed so hard in my life watching that video over and over.
You must look it up. They cut the video off just as soon as it happens but you can see blood splatter on the camera lens as he goes screaming he blew his leg off in extreme pain. If you slow it down to .25 speed when they already have it you can really see how bad it was. He started back about 100 to 1450 feet away and kept missing with his AR so he kept getting closer and closer. Like what the hell is he thinking? I thin it was like 3bs of tannerite.
Maybe I should not laugh but both cases was where stupidity just prevailed!! It is so hard not to laugh. Darwin awards crack me up. Both of these just almost won them award.
I would link the video's but It really has nothing to do with the topic and many folks will not want to see it or find it as funny as me. But you can still find them. Not sure on the 50 cal guy but the lawnmower dude for sure.
Other than pure stupidity much of youtube it just teaches hate and drives a further wedge down the middle of this country just like the media. Then they cancel and delete any comment that does not line up with their obscured views.
ABDL's and incontinent people have enough troubles without putting our lives in the spot light for people to make fun of. The world is full of disrespectful ignorant assholes!!!!!
