Was a pharmacist for a long time and I often ran into the earwax issue If you ever run into that issue, you want the docusate drops; they’re literally used in stool softeners too because they just make the wax soak up water, you’ll see some nasty stuff in the shower - but they work a treat after a few days and don’t irritate the shit out of the ear canal like peroxide analogues do

[@shala_shashka]

Thanks random dankpods viewer for providing me with some i could actually use right now

[@n_art_cissist]

Can confirm I’ve taken docusate for IBS

[@angrymario8259]

Thanks for that pro tip

[@BinaryArmorOnline]

Dear Mr. Dank, I just want to tell you how happy it made me as an autistic person with a Lego special interest to watch you get excited over that Lego dinosaur going together. Your attitude towards this whole KZbin thing is infectiously optimistic, and your transparency about how you do things (and your insight into how audio works) has really inspired me. I'm gearing up to start my own KZbin channel thanks in large part to you. You're amazing.

[@kaitlyn__L]

Yeah honestly Wade has done a lot to legitimise/destigmatise special interests (edit: like, for the general public) in 3 short years I feel. He's completely open and honest about what his are, and which ones he completely slides-off, then is unapologetically enthusiastic about them. It's great

[@RainaPCB]

I feel that a lot. I have autism as well, and this whole channel has been an "autistic interest" for me. I have been obsessed with mp3 players since I got my first SanDisk in 2009. Planning on starting a legitimate channel at some point as well, but waiting for the opportunity when I have enough money and the skills to actually start my ideas.

[@RainaPCB]

Indeed dank. Content means the world to a lot of people. Thanks for posting the whole lot. Glad I get to fill the difficult evenings with after shows for like 2 weeks or something.

[@Eleanorscatmom]

When you mentioned that there are many specific earplugs it reminded me that I own "partial" (?) earplugs. They only block some of the sound to help individuals who are sound or stimulation-sensitive like those with ASD (like me). I haven't used them to sleep but I do know they have gotten me through shopping through 2 holiday seasons lol.

[@aiodensghost8645]

What brand? Because a friend and I could use a pair like these!!

[@NickNichols47]

The older I get, the deeper my appreciation becomes for retro tech becomes. In the ever increasing e-waste world we live in, it’s becoming more and more refreshing to see people not just collect old tech simply to say they have it but use it and discover the cliche that just because something’s old, doesn’t mean it useless.

[@AsamiImako]

Love his vids but watching him format a bootleg MP3 player as HFS+ and then wonder why it gives Disk Errors drives me insane lol If you're reading this Wade they need to be formatted as either Fat32 or ExFat!

[@nachiopistachio]

It just didn’t stand a chance 💀 He left a pinned comment saying he did try FAT32 off camera, “but again, way boring. It's a nugget.”

[@SilverDragonJay]

The shattered glass of the I-M8 brings me back to my middle/high school days when smart phones were still pretty new but widespread enough to be in the hands of dumb teenagers that didn't know how to look after electronics. As a result, it was incredibly common for kids to be walking around with screens that were just completely shattered. The phones still worked in most cases, they would just have ugly cracks across the face so everyone would just keep using them. It was so common that they'd compare how damaged their screens were able to get and continue functioning. I feel like phone screen repair places were also more common back then too. I don't know if this is still common and I don't see it anymore, or if they've made phone screens more durable, or if people have just finally caught on that they should be proactive about keeping their phone screen in one piece. Either way, interesting. High school isn't really something that I think about a lot, but it is interesting that it was the last time I can recall seeing someone using a phone with a cracked screen. Anyway, uh, thanks for that blast from the past? Man, its been almost ten years since I graduated.

My local TV station uses Bluetooth microphones when they interview someone. Sometimes you can barely understand what they are saying. How can they broadcast something that sounds so bad?

[@jeffl.9633]

The Polaroid SX70 segment reminded me of the Polaroid 600 instant-film camera I have. It came with a second device, the Polaroid 600 Plus radio. The radio can be powered by "AA!" batteries or by the remaining battery power in a used film cartridge.

[@gordonwelcher9598]

One of my local electronics stores used to sell used Polaroid batteries.

[@jeffl.9633]

Which wasn't a bad idea, @@gordonwelcher9598, since they'd be nearly-new in most cases after the film in their cartridge was exhausted.

[@JJschannel255]

Nice

[@jeffl.9633]

@@JJschannel255 It was well planned for what people consider a novelty radio now. To power it from "AA!" batteries (it's a DankPods video, using "double-A" to would be boring) they didn't fuss with a separate battery compartment. They gave it a removable "AA!" compartment of the same size & shape as a film cartridge.

[@sandrios]

5:50 talking about doing things while asleep, my brother last night unlocked front doors while asleep and went back to bed leaving them unlocked

[@kaitlyn__L]

Ooh, I never noticed how iridescent and pearlescent Frank is before that Long Form Frank segment! 🥺 I also wonder if she tries the other side because it’s in the shade…? If she had an extra door would she prefer that side? Would she roam around her terrarium more if she had that extra door?

[@profosist]

Just for reference 2007 was right before the 2008 recession in the US that's why so many things are produced then, still ridding the high! This also started the transition to the digital dark ages of anime.

that was actually the first video of his that I found, I was searching for a "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!" clip to send to someone to comment on the early UK (non)response to covid. that was the 2nd or 3rd result, and I somewhat dubiously clicked expecting it to be half-assed. then it was a banger and I sent it to a bunch of my pals like "this didn't need to go so hard, especially the chorus". then I binged the entire backlog

I had this same issue, and it wasn't an airplane but tinnitus, so I needed some sound playing to distract me from it. I found that single Bluetooth earpieces were enough with my other ear on the pillow. The single one plays for 10 hours. I had to do this because I had extreme sensitivity when laying on headphones.

Tech tip for installing windows 11, disconnect from all network connections, once installed load into the initial setup, press shift+F10 and type OOBE\bypassnro in command line. Press enter, let it reboot, insist you don’t have internet and set up a local account. No need to worry about all the update BS at the start.
