i’d kill for a channel that’s just from the perspective of a neighbor to a youtuber like you

[@EmilyTheEngineer]

tbh same here

[@vgadoury]

Hahaha I just had visions of Colin Furze's neighbors, sneakily digging WW1 style tunnels to spy on him and spoil his future videos 😂

[@tinncan]

I wonder if there is a milf Facebook group in her area...

[@spankyjeffro5320]

LOL! "What are they DOING in there? They just brought back a hose, a box of fake wigs and 5 gallons of chicken soup." XD

[@johnladuke6475]

@@vgadoury I also instantly thought of Furze's neighbours. They'd make a great channel, I'm sure.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone spend this much time trying to figure out new ways to waterboard themselves

[@PolishedHobby]

I think that the most eco friendly material to make straws is water

[@zakgault4209]

Must be possible with alginate or similar?

[@janhetjoch]

You could probably make a straw out of ice

[@custos3249]

Hard water. Genius.

[@anniekate76]

Ice straws, perfect for today

[@randomrat6421]

Energy required to make and maintain ice knocks water out of the running. Wood straws are probably king.

[@TekkGnostic]

These are just clever CIA water-boarding devices you were contracted to make disguised as fun water drinking devices. You monster. 10/10

[@Rotem_S]

For science, you monster.

[@NationalParkJuniorRanger]

I love that Emily is like paper straws are bad, but let me make something completely out of plastic to replace the paper straw.

[@lmaoroflcopter]

Disposable plastic straws are bad, but reusable face pump ry branded water throw in face launchers are gooooood.

[@NationalParkJuniorRanger]

Yes. Emily gets that if you make something reusable it is ten times better than something that is a one time use but good for the planet

[@BruceNJeffAreMyFlies]

@@NationalParkJuniorRanger Paper straws aren't good for the planet. They come from plants grown with synthetic ferts that absolutely DESTROY aquatic ecosystems. They require a lot of fuel to transport the raw materials used to make them, they require a lot of energy to process, and people often need to use multiple paper straws to do the job of one plastic straw. It's a farce. A show. It LOOKS good for the planet, but it's not. It's not even in the same league as a reuseable plastic object - especially considering the main issue with straws is that they harm animals - a lot less likely with PLA that photodegrades quite quickly.

[@NationalParkJuniorRanger]

Thank you. I actually didn’t know that so thank you.

[@randomsomeguy156]

@@BruceNJeffAreMyFlies does PLA not degrade to a microplastic?

[@harrytraber8380]

I want to be friends with Emily. She adds that essential element of chaos that keeps the day from getting boring. Like. Imagine hanging out with 5 or 6 friends and 1 of them is Emily, before the day is out your making plans for a rubber band gun fight that escalates until Emily has us making rubber band based WMDs.

[@pennyfarting]

dude... imagine a rubber band _grenade._ Like you throw it, and when it hits the ground it just simultaneously fires off hundreds of rubber bands in a sphere around itself

The real crime is paying 9$ for a coffee

[@Deja117]

To be honest, the way things are going that's not too far off. 2/3 that price is the average right now. 😅

[@DH-xw6jp]

There is no QT drink that costs 9 bucks.

[@zumbazumba1]

Toilet hat ! You shrink a toilet via 3 d printing voodoo magic ,and instead of pipe you put a hose that dumps the content of the bowl in your mouth ! Its so great that you can even mix coctails -you put half ingredients in bowl and half in water tank and when you flush it mixes in your mouth !

[@EmilyTheEngineer]

JAIL

i swear this channel is the best discovery ive made in 2024, and were only in january

[@tatertime]

This editing and meme style brings me back to a simpler time, I love it

[@ChrisPrattFanClub]

I like how most of these ideas could actually work how you intended them to with a bit more tinkering to fix the glaring issues. Very fun video, keep it up!

[@MrPatateHead]

Love your videos! BTW there is already an alternative available, pasta straw (imagine a long Penne). Biodegradable and doesn't absorb liquid as quickly/badly as paper.

[@thatdudeinorange5269]

If it takes 6-10 minutes in boiling* water maybe it will last long enough for american cup sizes? *if anyone has timed it in cold water please do tell us!

[@emeraldbonsai]

@@thatdudeinorange5269 Its essentially forever cold liquids dont have egough power to break down the starches.

[@thatdudeinorange5269]

@@emeraldbonsai Well, did the test myself and put one piece of penne in a glass of cold water. After 10 minutes it was still 'hard' and then forgot it.. maybe checked at 20 mins.. And now 4+ hours later it sure feels soft 'soggy' but still in one piece And it worked as a straw 😋 Next test is supergluing ten penne to make a longer straw. And Superglue was invented for medical use for the US Army to patch smaller wounds ( bulletholes?) together so aint worried about the health using it. (If you dont hear from me again, then I was wrong 🤥 )

[@Deja117]

Wafer straws. They are the straw that's a snack at the end. Like cereal, but useful.

[@irfuel]

Some places in Europe use those. Unfortunately not so great for the gluten intolerant crowd ...

[@Croatilillious]

Im so glad subbed to your channel right before you started uploading a bunch of stuff. Love the unhinged 3d print based engineering on display

[@gearscodeandfire]

I am all for more “unhinged” posts as well! Primary process FTW! Emily, I think this would be even more awesome if you were, um, slightly less than sober. Go all in! Also you rule 🤘

[@belgaerthethinker]

6:10 sums up so many of Emily's videos: "Maybe I shouldn't do [unhinged thing], instead I'm going to [do the same thing in a somehow 10x more unhinged way]"

I love the waterboarding hat!

[@shadowscythes]

You should watch the toilet one if you haven't already, that one is hilarious

A milion dollars worthy question -if you drink froam a plastic straw in McDondalds in Colorado and that straw ends up in atlantic ocean how does it end there? They spend so many milllion dollars trying to convince us that plastic straws are the problem that nobody asked how can a straw from a state that has no water nearby end in ocean-companys dump them !

[@Confusedengineer-qw5tn]

Glad Emily posted, I was just about to go to sleep.

[@kevinleee3408]

I did find a good straw it was paper in a paper wrapper it was heavy duty enough it lasted for an entire meal at the restaurant. They had them at Qdoba. I just throw away the Soggy one and grab a couple more when I leave the store

[@ROXO-ET2]

This channel is very underrated, this is the best content I can have XD

[@liliwheeler2204]

I love that the toilet appears to still be exactly where it fell

[@jordanw2741]

The recurring question that comes up in this video is "Why is Emily doing this inside?!?"

[@ahkine4096]

this reminds me of the Dyson blade-less fan where they haven't removed the fan they just hidden it. you should probably buy a ProtoCycler so you can re-use your old prints as recycled fillament.

Finally, how I can be properly hydrated

[@elliottskl]

glorious, i think you solved all hydration probpems around the world ❤

[@vgadoury]

Idea: Put the cup above the head, make it pour in a (bigger) funnel in front, and twist the not-a-straw a bit more so it produces a nice little drinking fountain (ideally to the side).

[@vgadoury]

It might be a bit too boring however... 😄

[@cpufreak101]

I just found this channel and this genuinely feels like Junkyard Mook from a universe where Gasoline somehow doesn't exist

[@tdata545]

The first model could be very popular if you used apple juice, in some countries could make a great side hustle on some "HUB" sites for the German, Brazilian and Japanese market. Edit: The last one could be a fun game, you hook the servo up to arduino, make four hats, each gets a controller, the controller operates someone else's gets randomized every time, and then you roll the die and it determines how many times you press the button which is also random. Can either increment forward 1, 2, -1, -2 also randomized, like a fun russian roulette without the brain mess, but water mess or whatever.

I think the ultimate straw replacement is glass straw, then it also would become a regular utensil like restaurants offer it and just keep it so there isn’t the whole “budget for continuously buying more and more straws”- You might think well a metal straw would be better but, that shit tastes weird, and I hate it, do glass
