Are you gullible? - 2 Truths & Trash

As always, let me know if you thought any of them were unfair or if you had any suggestions to improve.
Here's a list of questions answered in today's video:
1. Can a hot hair straightener open a wine bottle?
2. Can a flame erase the ink of a regular highlighter?
3. Does a faucet stream suck a spoon in when you dangle the spoon in front of it?
4. Can you skewer through a balloon using tape?
5. Does snuffing out a candle flame with a glass allow you to pick up a heavy pan?
6. Does leaving your freezer open cool down your room?
7. Can you actually balance a spoon and a fork on the edge of a glass using just a match?
8. Can you stab a pencil through a plastic bag of water, cover it in oil, and then remove it without it leaking?
9. Does adding food dye to the water of white roses make those roses turn the color of the food-dye?

Fun fact - you don’t need tape to skewer balloons without popping them. Just stab the balloon where the rubber is thick.

[@deathsheir2035]

For those curious: The part where you tie the balloon, and the opposite side of that tie, are the thickest parts, where you can stab a balloon without it popping. Ducktape is only needed for when you want to stab the balloon in a different location, OR the balloon is too large.

[@sannyassi73]

You can also bunch up an area so it's not tight, and carefully poke a hole. You can also use a hypodermic needle without anything special other than being very careful- it's a little game Doctors challenge each other to sometimes- like a Tiktok challenge that isn't stupid.

For the fridge, that's true for new cooling produced by the freezer, but it does work because of the things already cooled by the fridge/freezer. If you were to freeze a massive block of ice for days in a freezer, then open it, it will cool down the room as it melts. You can also just take the ice block out and close the freezer.

[@deathsheir2035]

But then it's not the fridge/freezer itself cooling the room, and in the long term, the room will eventually heat up.

[@StickmanWithARocketSword]

[@merendell]

Technicly you could cool the room with the freezer for a little while. If you turn off the freezer and open the door you'll get a bit of cooling to the room as the freezer contents warm up. However its like ice cubes in a drink. While the liquid of the drink gets colder the ice/drink system combined keeps the same relitive thermal energy (disregarding transfer from the outside) Just like the ice in your drink, once it all melts thats all the cooling the room's going to get and it will start heating up agian. Doubly so as now you need to plug the frezer back in and its gona dump alot of heat into the room refreezing the contents.

[@forbidden-cyrillic-handle]

You can use it actively, if you place it in a way that its back is outside of your house, so you will be making outside air hotter. But it will not be as effective as a real air-conditioner.

[@Scapestoat]

The first one from round 3 had me waiting for the punchline. Like, if they are from the same set, and balanced the same, then it is just a matter of finding the right spot on the match to move the center of mass (not center of gravity!) onto the edge of the glass.

[@dearcath]

I knew the last one from a biology lab. Cool video 👍

[@lotsaspaghetticodejr.6488]

For those wondering about the balloon, When punctured, the rubber rips away as it is under an elastic pressure wants to turn back to its original state prior to being stretched. As a result, the rubber loses structural integrity and, as the volume of air releases from the only opening, the balloon rips itself apart under force in order to contract. The duct tape serves to hold the rubber in place, preventing it from contracting and ripping the hole wider.

[@LGLP]

First time of getting everything right, I waited long for this XD

[@Legofan2676]

I think ive seen something like lemon juice for a highlighter mistake or something eons back. And with the bag stab its partially true as yes if you stab the bag it wont leak until the pencil is pulled out iirc.

[@garvgupta3567]

3/3, Got all correct again. Never expected I would be good at this.

[@petergerdes1094]

The fridge claim is kinda correct. Yes, obviously, *adding* a previously off fridge to your room and then running it doesn't provide net cooling. However, the inside of your fridge is colder than the room so you get a momentary cooling effect from that. Moreover, if your fridge is already running the compressor constantly than opening the door does result in a cooler room long term than not. Of course, it would be even cooler of you just removed the fridge but the room is getting heated the same amount either way.

Damnit, that last one got me. I initially had it right that it was the water in the bag. I knew the flowers trick from when I was a kid and I've seen plenty of balancing tricks like the first. But the more I thought about it the less it felt like there was enough counter weight on the matchstick to support a fork and spoon. I was sure the center of gravity had to be out further.

The balloon trick is something I used to do to amuse my children. You can use clear tape in several positions on the balloon and use needles/pins.

[@kurtmager1626]

As for the fork and spoon balancing trick, my grandmother demonstrated that to me 40 years ago, but she took it one step further. She used a toothpick instead of a match. But then, once balanced, she set fire to the toothpick overhanging the inside of the glass it was all balanced on. Once the flame reached the lip of the glass, and the point of contact where it was balanced, the flame extinguished, and everything remained balanced. This is because there wasn't oxygen all the way around, and so the flame burnt itself out.

[@samrowe2889]

What? Why was there lack of O2 around "the whole" thing

[@yusuftekten2652]

Fridge will actually cool the room temporarily if it is loaded with cold stuff considering most of the heat taken from them dissapated outside the room already. However vacuum sealing a glass with pourus material is dodgy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't.

[@shivaargula4735]

Even though I got almost all of these right, I feel gullible since it was only because I already knew the answer. I didn't know whether it was the hair straightener bottle opener or the heat highlighter

[@57thorns]

One thing to consider is why you have a volatile chemical (solvent) in the marker, and what the purpose is, and what happens when the solvent evaporates. The trick here is noticing that when the solvent evaporates it leaves behind the pigments of the highlighter.

[@giosue_222]

3/3 that was not very difficult, but I had my doubts. Very cool video.

[@svenstevenson2245]

Not to mention that fridges do not have fans designed for distrubiting their cooled air across a space larger than the actual "food box" area meaning even IF you managed to send the heat outside somehow (heavily modified fridge?) that'd still not work.

[@pocketsdoesstuff3880]

the trick with the fork, spoon and match? I was taught that as a kid but it was two forks and a toothpick, then the part of the toothpick inside the glass was set on fire and left to burn. The fire goes out when it reaches the rim of the glass which leaves the two forks suspended by the toothpick by just the burnt tip.

[@indiana_frog]

The only thing I hate about this series is that he shows 3 really cool tricks but one of them has to be fake. It just makes me sad that 1 off the amazing science tricks isn't something I can actually do.

[@Owen_loves_Butters]

Round 1: Very very close to tricking me. I knew the last one was real, and the first two both seemed plausible. So I did the only logical thing: I tested the highlighter one (I didn't just have a corked bottle on hand). Good one though. Round 2: Super easy. First two were logical and the third one made no sense (the heat needs to go somewhere and the only way to have a self contained cooling system is to expel that heat elsewhere) Round 3: First two seemed fake and the third one I'd seen. I had to think about this one. Might've gotten it wrong if I had limited time.

[@IceBot360G]

Dude the burn with the extra virgin olive oil was good

[@SOWICKEDIMWUZIE]

With theatch one.. you can light the end of the match and let ot burn all the way to the glass and it will still balance.. did it as a kid all the time.. also looks way more trippy..

Second one was tough as i've never attempted to do something like this but then when you do thought experiment and think what would happen i did conclude it was real. Then i unpaused and after watching fridge question it became obvious. Fork balancing was also difficult as i can't really know where center of gravity is but it was fare to assume that it is possible

[@blacknoir2404]

technically opening your fridge will cool your room ever so slightly but it won't take long but once the temperatures equalize or the compressor kicks on, that will stop being true

[@aadenluk4931]

NOTE ABOUT THE FREEZER ONE!!! It would actually work as the fridge warms the room passively so the cold will actually cool it down

[@t3rcx]

You forget that opening the door means the interior won't be able to reach its temperature setpoint, so the fridge is going to be constantly working to try to cool the space. Every extra bit of cold that enters the room will be offset by the extra heat generated that wouldn't normally need to be generated if the door was closed. The only way to cool a room with a fridge is to turn it off.

[@aadenluk4931]

Yea but when you close it it still generates heat. A freezer is not heatproof, so it will pick up heat from the surrounding environment, which causes it to release more heat into it’s surroundings. Another thing I failed to mention is that the door is facing the interior of the room, and the back (the warm part) projects quite a bit of heat into the nearby wall.

"2 of the following videos are trash, while the other one is true. Can you spot the legitimate one? Let's begin."

[@57thorns]

Not not gullible as much as experienced. All of these I have already heard or know about. Using hot air to open a wine bottle was new, but makes sense physically. The faucet stream I just had a reminder on in a Tom Scott video of all things. Something about lower air pressure. So the highlighter had to be fake, my reasoning there is that the volatile chemical will evaporate leaving the pigments on the paper and heat will only accelerate this process. Skewering a balloon is an old trick. The candle thing is actually quite interesting. The combustion creates both carbon dioxide (a gas at room temperature and normal pressure) and water (liquid at the same temperature and pressure). While the CO2 is denser than oxygen, and thus would give a pressure differential the other way, water when it condenses _really_ decrease in volume. Mythbusters busted a railroad tanker showing that effect. And the operating principle of a fridge is often talked about. Seen the balancing trick before. The power of center of mass is fun to play with. The pencil thing was definitely suspect, and I also noticed something was off about the video. Knowing how flowers and plants in general suck in water, the colouring thing made perfect sense.

Hold up. If there is a paper towel between the cup and the pan, then the suction acts on the paper towel, not directly on the pan. Therefore, in order to pick up the pan as well, the adhesion between the wet paper towel and the pan has to be sufficient to support the weight of the pan. What the heck?

[@TheBestChocolate]

[@xynix1549]

the open fridge does cool your room though because the alternative isn’t no fridge, it’s a closed fridge (which still heats the room)

[@enderyu]

No. Of course you can use the contents of the fridge to temporarily cool down your room but that much is obvious. Instead, in the best case scenario, the fridge will maintain its power consumption and only the food will be slightly warmer Realistically it will increase its power running continuously (trying to maintain its internal temperature) and will actively heat up the room; maybe keeping some of the food cold

[@whydontyouhandledeez]

But the temperature drop means the fridge will kick into high gear, warming up the room even more than usual. Because active cooling creates more hot air than cold air, it's a net negative cycle that will ultimately spoil your food and make your room hotter. It might feel colder by the opening though, especially at first when you have ice/food still absorbing heat.

[@Typical.Anomaly]

If you open the fridge and freezer AND UNPLUG THEM, it will cool it off for a while.

[@Yesytsucks]

I mean technically if the fridge was already on it was heating the room, but when we opened it it canceled out indeed making it colder in the room

[@awesomeguyalpha1467]

how is the matchstick one correct? can anyone explain

[@kakashi644]

3/3

[@kyleeames8229]

The wine bottle thing was the most dubious to me. My intuition tells me the volume of air above the wine is too small and the glass would sink too much heat away for the straightening iron to supply enough heat in the first place. Moreover, insufficient knowledge of the chemical properties of flourescene prevents me from reaching a confident conclusion on the second video and I know for a fact that the spoon thing is a real phenomenon; the coanda effect and Newtons third law combined. Edit: I didn’t realize there were multiple rounds of this in the video. The fridge thing is fake. The condenser coil is not external to the room, so you have a heat pump to nowhere. In fact, inefficiencies in the refrigeration loop will add heat to the room, causing a net increase in temperature. The bag thing is fake. The oil would remain a liquid, thereby not functioning as a sealant.
