            It’s a reference to their video on brown, specifically the part where they change only the background color of a image with an orange square in it and it swings basically from orange to brown

            It’s a really interesting watch

            Also your link is broken, the URL should be in the parentheses. And if you want the image as a reply the brackets should be empty with an exclamation point in front and the link needs to end in an image extension.

            Like so

          That was good, not in the US and my bosch dishwasher only has one dispenser I already moved from tablets to powder a while ago, now I’m going to experiment with a sprinkle of powder in the main compartment, to help with the pre wash.

          This is why I love lemmy thanks everyone

        Had a lamp in the garage I was planning to donate when I could. It had been sitting there for 4 years unused because it was incompatible with a lamp shade and too damn bright no matter what bulb I used.

        Saw the technology conextras (his second channel) video on DIY milk glass, now that lamp is the only light I use in the office, I love it!

      I’ve got a playlist of all the videos I’ve already seen and I play it for background noise when I’m doing a task that I don’t want silence for but also don’t want music. Something about the pacing and cadence of his videos is strangely relaxing.

      I’m far from the target audience, I never thought I’d be interested in learning the difference between DVD+R and DVD-R, but he had me and my history loving arse with gas lamps, and I got hooked.

            How’d you do that?

            Doubt it was…:

            So I’m guessing:

            @uis

            (Which was [@uis](https://equestria.social/@uis) - had to do this manually.)

    In the spirit of Alec’s pedentry, I must mention that lube does not work by making things moist, instead it works by reducing friction and preventing direct contact between solids. Oil based lubes are a prime example of this as they contain very little water and therefore is ineffective at making things moist but is still effective at reducing friction. Water by itself is actually a pretty bad lube.

    Also we’re talking about machine lube right? …right?

        I love his stuff. Each video I’ve watched has always started with “why the crap would I even care about this subject, but what the hell [play]”, and ended with me sitting at the edge of my seat, after laughter and intrigue. I love his stuff.

      Oof I envy you. I’ve seen my first video 1-2 years ago (the rice cooker one) and ever since I’ve watched all of his Videos (some three times) I’d love to get to experience all of them anew.
