The freezer trick is used by librarians to prevent mold when there are too many items to dry them. You freeze what you can not dry straight away- then defrost and dry properly when you have the time and space. Its an emergency technique only and you still have to deal with drying it!

[@nope12345]

i feel like the trick might work if left in the freezer for longer, that's basically how freeze-drying works: sublimation you can also dry clothes in the winter by hanging them out when it's freezing, it's just gonna take quite some time

[@elaineelaine6418]

Yeah, it's used in countries with flood problems too (thailand, vietnam). If you come back to your flat flooded, you put your books in the freezer, and you take the time to dry them properly once the humidity problem is solved

[@keelanrose5706]

​@@nope12345 Freeze drying uses a vacum though. my guess is it would take months with a normal freezer. Otherwise your food would dry out in the freezer if not in a plastic bag or such and I am sure mine never has! even after over a month.

[@nope12345]

@@keelanrose5706 Well the food completely drying out is extremely unlikely, but freezer burns can still happen Freezer burns are nothing else than the surface of foods drying out in the freezer The vacuum part helps speed the process

[@Rebecca_George]

@@keelanrose5706 you NEED a vacuum for freeze drying. How it works is the vacuum lowers the pressure surrounding the item which in turn lowers the boiling point of the water letting the ice sublime. Water sublimation will not happen on any significant scale with regular atmospheric pressure.

Creating ice in a microwave is definitely possible and (almost) quite easy. Take your glass (or whatever) of water and put it in the microwave. Then, VERY carefully, put the microwave in your stand-up freezer. Wait for a couple of hours then open the freezer, open the microwave and there it is! Frozen water! (Whether it's in or out of the cup depends on how carefully you moved the microwave.)

I just googled something and someone mentioned that the freezing a book trick was designed to prolong the books wetness until you can attempt to dry them at a later date - if say your house flooded and you don't have time to deal with them.

[@error404m]

Valuable or rare books that are damaged with water are in fact frozen. It stops mold or further damage. But the original video missed the important second step. The frozen books are placed in a vacuum where the ice changes directly from a solid to a gas. Books saved!

Librarian here. Freezing wet books is a thing, but only in disaster management. You can freeze the books and it allows you time to repair/dry them with appropriate tools. This mainly happens when a building floods and they want to save valuable books by freezing them and repairing them one at a time.

[@MeredithDomzalski]

Boosting the signal on this. I hope Ann sees it. When that happens, do you then wait for it to warm up to room temp to separate the pages and dry it? I'm assuming the purpose is to prevent mold growth of you can't get to it right away. Would that be correct?

[@janetwilliams7626]

My assumption is that the process is nothing like what was described in the bogus video (not Ann's!). And I am also assuming that it is a tedious and painstaking process, not a quick fix like 5-Min-Crap et.al wants us to believe.

I would've never guessed it was about fat content! I've tried to make peppermint patties once, so I poured a TON of powdered sugar into some condensed milk (+ peppermint extract) and got myself the dough I wanted. So I was watching the ice cream frosting thinking, "Surely, liquid + enough sugar = thick. Eventually". I'm a chemist, but baking is sorcery.

[@nikkiofthevalley]

I mean, it's less chemistry and more physics, given that thickness is a property based on the mechanics of the molecules rather than the molecules themselves. Nobody is actually thinking about that though, we just know that some ingredients have specific effects outside of flavor, such as thickening.

Then Pewds-gate, then other issues and its honestly become...troublesome for advertisers on the platform. Especially when trees don’t keep their beefs ON the platform. I’ve been here since 2006, a few months after the site’s inception. I’ve watched it’s rise, it's growth and trends, every change and while this is a more watered-down version of what was, it is the best of what we could as for. There are issues, of course, no site this large wouldn’t have issues, but YT walks a VERY fine line between corporate responsibility and staying true to what and who they are. To make money, they need to have rules and regulations, to make money, they need viewers, so they balance what will advertisers accept with what people watch and that results in a middle of the road philosophy, go too far either direction and you hit a wall. If you want to post more extreme content, there are ways, but you still have to ”fit in” to YT’s cultural identity (which yes, we do have one, even as diverse as we are) and GOOGLE’s cultural identity, which is where a lot of people trip up.

They use special cryo- freezers to remove water from documents and old books. It’s a highly controlled very dry environment being created that would not be duplicated by a home freezer. The temperature is reduced at a constant rate usually 1° per minute and then is raised at the same rate. As stated before the freezer environment must be extremely dry for this process to work. The freezer is also pressurized at a vacuum to the outside environment.

@Melgar Gumabon wax does burn, that's why when you buy pre-made wicks from the craft store, they're coated in wax. There are also different kinds of wax-- softer ones like soy will melt faster than say paraffin-- but I'd say that the time lapse on the "non chilled" candle is just done at a faster speed than the chilled one

[@RhiannonSmudge]

I'm still mad at how KZbin handled COPPA Especially since they've been so horrible to artists and animators. They put genuine talent and effort into their work, but they get zero add revenue if their animation is appropriate for all audiences and doesn't contain 20 swear words, because youtube thinks animation is only for kids Meanwhile they allow 5 Minute Crafts to get away with having a monetized channel that literally has the word "KIDS" in the title

[@Li_Tobler]

...and on top of that is straight up dangerous to kids. The hypocrisy is unbearable

And don't forget that putting in swearwords can also get you demonetised

[@ferociousgumby]

Oops, my comment just disappeared so I will try to reconstruct it! Yes, that whole COPPA thing was a fiasco. There were all these confusing, conflicting new "rules" about what constituted "children's content". It was similar to the mess they created a couple of years earlier with "depicting minors" in videos. I knew a woman who had all the comments closed on her videos, past and present, because she collected realistic baby dolls and wanted to share her hobby with others. It basically ruined the pleasure of it because she got no feedback from anybody. According to the YT algorithm, dolls were interchangeable with live children, no matter how the video was labelled. The COPPA fiasco was even more vague, confusing and even threatening to creators. People were closing their accounts and trying to salvage or move their videos due to threats their channels would be terminated. YT made an informational video that basically said, if you have any problem with any of these new rules, consult a lawyer. It just terrorized everyone and created anxiety even for those of us who do this strictly for fun, and meantime it was applied in the usual scattershot way - and now we don't even HEAR about COPPA anymore. It just sort of gets forgotten. The whole thing happened to take the heat away from YT and burden the creators with the responsibility for keeping children "safe". As for these big channels, they seem to be 100% exempt from any and all restrictions, as they are in a different class of video from the rest of us and never have to worry, even though it is very obvious there is real potential danger in children playing with molten sugar to make magic lollipops.

[@alumlovescake]

People like you make me upset why are animators to you more important then other humans? There are bigger problems on KZbin then 5 min crafts and definitely bigger issues then animators not getting paid 1000s

[@SmallWonda]

Really enjoyable. I've complained to YT about how Junk videos are allowed to proliferate or other people's genuine work is hijacked, manipulated & trashed to make supposed 'entertainment' but of course why should they care when so many of these videos gain staggering VIEWS? That I find the most horrific, that millions of people actually watch utter garbage and the content 'maker' is rolling in the dough. Just totally unfair.
