I literally thought Fum was part of this Kickstarter scam video

Faking cigarette smoking with a tube is the thing that helped me to quit smoking after numerous attempts. I cut a Bic pen in half and used the tube from that. That along with chewing gum when I felt a craving gave me the edge I needed. It's amazing how much the tactile feeling of a cigarette in your hands and on your lips plays into the urge to smoke. Even now, I feel the urge to have a cigarette between my fingers and it's been 35 years since I quit.

lol at that Miito thing. After filling up your own mug, just pour it to your existing kettle...exact amount done. 😂

As someone who las laser experience and works as microelectronics engineer, the laser razor is absolutely ridiculous and seeing how many people backed this nonsense makes my brain crumple.

I would buy a collar that let me speak to my cats when we're (fiancee and I) not home. Not because they need to be saved or anything like that. No, both are jerks of the highest order and get into all kinds of mischief when we're not home. I can just imagine them freezing in place when my disembodied voice is asking them "what the Hell are you doing now?!" Both cats are very young and wait until we're gone before starting their "Let's see what we can get into today!" festivities. Case in point- Professor Ink found his way into my entertainment system where we keep all our current games today. He knocked everyone of them onto the floor (we have 45 of them in there), then removed a throw-pillow from the couch and established himself a new apartment. Meanwhile Beta (the other demon) was knocking the cases all over the floor as if she was curling with Blu Ray cases. We had to move all the furniture to get them all. They both knew they were being bad because as soon as we walked in the door she scattered and he tried to hide in his deluxe apartment from us. Addendum- We love our jackass cats but I think a little payback is in order. Come on Kickstarter and Slopes make my dream come true. I just want to randomly make them scatter every know and then just to keep them guessing. ;)

I love how the first one was like "we developed an app to stop drunk driving!" yeah, it's called Uber. Not a new concept bucco.

Fill a cup with the amount of water you need, then put a complex induction heater in it so you don't overfill a kettle. Couldn't you just... pour that amount of water from the cup into the kettle?

14:40 lol, oh my god, where did you get the picture? That’s the picture of the Pho place that burned down an entire row of business that happened here in New Jersey. They had such good food too, shame that that happened to all of those businesses. Recently a few days ago, I discovered that that area has been totally rebuilt with only two of the businesses returning, the Starbucks and a bakery (it’s not in the picture but it was also a part of that strip of building)

GUYS! GUYS! WARNING! I think he's gonna take us for a ride ! :D

10:25 Rico: Kaboom? Skipper: Yes, Rico. “Kaboom”.

The tea one might have worked if they had used stainless steel for it instead of bamboo and glass.

Damnit, I saw those tea infusers and was blinded by my lust for tea. Well, this just saved me some burned hands and explosive insurance.

6:45 On top of exploding - stainless steel doesn't work for tea. Tannic acid leeches into it over time, after as low as 4 months of active use - you will get metallic aftertaste. Also...one cup? Just one? Granted it's about half a liter, still. Just brew the damn brew separately and mix in cup.

Lol, that sponsors site is just as scammy as the stuff in the vid.

I already know this is a compilation. I'll watch it anyway.

Miito: a pricey induction powered immersive water heater, with the exact same problems as a

bro comes back after about 4 months without a Kickscammers with yet another compilation video LETS GOOOOO!!! eh

As soon I saw that imbue cup, I was, "Haha. Tea gonna go boom!"

The tea brewing thing would be a cool weapon for the Hitman game series. I mean they have at least two versions of the exploding rubber duck. :P

Nice, right when I read "WUF," I thought of that scene from The Office too

I really wish my country had a version of uber, as taxi is pretty expensive so most young college teens/young adults are massively discouraged to call a taxi for the price so they drive under the influence. I genuinely think a system of cabs who specifically drive to and from bars get massively subsedised by the government can save lives, since most problems start with a ride. I'm 100% speaking from personal experience as a collage student who has seen plenty of peers do this shit for those exact reasons.

i love that the supergient games guys voice is so iconic that i picked up on the bastion ending theme even though it only played for less than 2 seconds at the end there. "I set my sail"

Cheers for talking about the pandemic in the *present* tense. (13:53)

16 oz Ball mason jar...$1.49 Hobby Lobby Stainless steel tea ball..0.79¢ Temu Not having your boiling hot tea explode all over you? PRICELESS

That tea bomb, the moment I saw them close a lid on a steam hot bottle, I knew what was going to happen, its fucking obvious. I have this thing with pressure vessels, they make me walk a wide circle around them...a very wide circle

That's wild, dude. I only ever knew about this game from the Afro meme. From personal experience, I have to say, one of the most toxic communities is the high-ladder 2v2 & 3v3 arena PvP scene on World of Warcraft. I've encountered some of the most depraved individuals who need to put be on some sort of watchlist.

That VR controller is still faster then the msi Liberator...

You could say the Imbue team found themselves in hot water.

I had to check what channel I was on as I almost expected an "hello youuuu" at the start

9:40 wow! that background music. It was my playlists for 10 years now and I have never ever heard it anywhere else!

I knew a guy in college that had those glass bottles with the tea infuser on them. I don't believe it was the original one from kickstarter. I never saw he using it for tea. Just flavored water.

Goofy smart collar finally arrives and ends up wrapped around the jar of Floofy's ashes.🤬

lol i cant believe at 24:30 i recognized the song as mother im here from bastion

The Unlimited Hand. "It's so bad."

Meanwhile, those of us in Asia, we have no issues with overfilling our kettles. This is because any excess boiled water in the kettle will just be drinking water later. So, that's a non-issue, really. Not to mention that there is research to suggest that boiling water helps destroy microplastics (though the paper did say that you need to boil it for five minutes). The laser razor wasn't really a scam--it was just improbable to work consistently or reliably. The thread was there to detect the hair and activates the laser (which has a very specific wavelength band--I just forget what it is called--that is supposedly safe to use on all skin tones). Someday, maybe a razor that works with a laser can exist, but now, if you want to save money, just buy a safety razors that is idiot proof (like a Henson) if you're worried about nicking yourself because the blades are literally pennies each.

As soon as you said trapped hot air I thought of all my experience firing a kiln. Yep, explosions, that sounds right.

i dont know if im crazy or not but most of these being dangerous is a stretch

I have never had the issue of making too much hot water and wasting energy. Like you can put it in a thermos and drink the water later?

Keep them honest, Slope! Great work, as usual.

I don’t mind reliving the past kickscammers but I was wondering if there are any plans to cover new ones?

The intro to each segment is indistinguishable from a sponsored ad

5:48 “This couldn’t be more hipster if it tried” Unlike the Füm??? 😂 Still looks like a cool product, just very obviously one made for hipsters.

Wait, is there something I'm missing? How are the dog collar and the glove thing dangerous? I can understand the collar being a problem if people rely on it too much rather than using a leash, but the glove?

That metal rod in an induction heater is a simple bit dangerous one if you hear it in a non treated glass the glass is prone to shatter. And it's not a hard idea I did something similar with a magnet string and a cheap induction single cooker from ali express for £20 😂😂😂and as for solving the over heating problems a simple thermostat wired in to a switch on the base would solve the problem very eaisly these people got the money and think they can go live it up on the extra cash and then spend it all.

I got my License a Month back, and I'll drive the most responsibly, by not driving at all! OZ Anus is a very unfortunate Name for a Company.

The laser razor is hilarious 😂😅😂

Good content, but you gotta talk to these guys about their ad read; Fum *is* quitting cold turkey. You're not addicted to breathing shit out, you're hooked on nicotene (as a smoker, trust me on this lol) You can get a nicotene vape and, given you have the willpower, intentionally dial down the dosage in a vape until it's 0% nicotene and entirely flavored vapor to break the oral fixation; Fum is absolutely not this, its quitting nicotene cold turkey and pretending that the oral fixation is the only element that there is to overcome in the ordeal.

Back when I worked with a university, we actually built a prototype of something like that Hapto thing. It worked, but it didn't feel convincing at all, and required specific custom API integration to work. Ours used low current electronic induction to the skin rather than physical bumps, but it still just felt more annoying than anything. Still, the uni paid for the project out of their research fund, and someone still presumably got a published academic paper out of explaining precisely why it was shite, but shite it indeed was XD We made a shite device so other people don't have to XD

6:29 we wanted to perfect this timeless method... If I came across that line in a business proposal I would stop them right there and kick them out without even a second thought on the proposal. I meean,I can see where they are going for with the tea thing I guess. But there's a very dushy attitude to present, that you could make something better that's been a tried and true method for centuries (making tea) just for a kind of basic tea Brewer.

Wow only 2 seconds of lag on that last controller there.

There are already ways to brew loose leaf on the go…and much cheaper.

So you have a jar with a magnetic lid where a strainer is attached? Question: what is the strainer made of? Stainless steel isn't ferric enough to be effectively magnetic, so WTF?

big up to the MvC music!!!

5:24 seriously bro. 100 euros without shipping, with a huge disclaimer that the company isn’t responsible for damaged or lost shipments? I’ll pass!

Was that wormsong playing over the laser razor?

Soo Kickstarter and indiegogo is a Scammers Wetdream 😂

...the BAD part of the BAD habit is the BAD part... 🙄

Sir Slope, if you read this: please change the sound between each entry, the jingle is infuriating my roommate's dog

I guess too bad for non-drinkers with speech impediments.

One of these days, he'll make a video on Friday Night Funkin'. Mark my words.

Industrial designer at Starbucks? 😮😮😮😮

The lazer razor overcomplicated and risk of blindness the power needed would make i hige and even the reflection would cause blondness. Another star trek misk type promise in other words full of crap, razors are simple and easy and cheap

Dude! What was dangerous about Wüf, did you leave a segment out?

Anyone who backed the tea infuser has clearly never been to a T2 store

It’s the Skarp lasser rasser

13:47 Wait, 6 months late from 2019? Is this a reupload? Or was this a Patreon exclusive video for a long time?

Why does the beginning of the music for the tea sound like silent hill 2?

Sometimes you just feel sorry for the people who got scammed. Then there's this. Some of these are so ridiculous that people really should have known better. A fool and their money were parted, and I don't feel sorry for them.

Shilling for some weird vape toy is off putting.

I dont see the point in a skarp razor. Why not just use an electric razor like the Philips one blade?

I don't get it. Why don't they just put holes in the top of the cup to keep the pressure from building up. 13:03

Whoa whoa whoa wait one gosh darn second.. you're British? So.. am I British? Is there a test to find out?

More like 6 scams.

So, where did you get your Lord Sugar standee, DJ Slopes? Did you get it from Dave Gorman? 😊

SPOILER - PUT A MINT IN YOUR MOUTH NOW BREATH THROUGH YOUR MOUTH, THERE YOU GO FLAVOURED AIR LMFAO

Another great vid!!!

I don't understand how wüf was dangerous could someone explain?

And that's why we have so many fake brokers and funders sending me spam for my $45k açai business. Because of scam artists like these.

Wow fantastic video finally we get another kicks scammers video seems so long ago since the last one as always excellent job , mobile phones with built-in breathalysers now there's an interesting idea,😂😂 great work thanks for making the video , as always top-notch and very enjoyable

Happy March, Slope ❤ Thanks for another fun video! Loved your reading of the comments on the exploding tea lol

you know the funny thing the gps feature you can just get an airtag or square something similar for carkeys and put it on the collar and job done. The skype call would just confuse them and then the invisible leash you would need to train them what the " length" was and what stops them just ignoring the audio? same with geo fencing it would need trained that's the limit multiple times and again nothing stops it just ignoring the audio its a bad idea.

5:51 my good sir, you mispronounced fish food.

Ideas of idea tooth

Oh boy 😅

The tea hand burning device, do these guys know there actually is that kind of idea and no i am not talking about "samovar" , but actually made of glass. It is just glass that can take the heat change and the metal ball thingy one puts his tea. Same thing but works no? What i am talking about, is a mug/jar with a handle that one can close and but the tea in a filter kind of metal contraption, and no one gets burned. Those things have been available forever.

Lady Gray is the best

I still don't understand why people still trust crowdfunding with all the things that have happened in relation to that business model.

Thanks for another interesting video

why are you Kickstarters trying to make coffee harder

Just use tea bags

Whenever Slopes says "Right?" you start running for the hills.

*Skarp* - tHe LAzEr is tEw sTrOnGe

So.... reused footage?

🎉

Toooh doesn't spell tooth lol

Nice video

I’m a bit drunk…I’M GONNA SAY A SLUR.

Jamming to the FF7 music in the background. Don't give money to KS. Not worth it.

God that background music sucks so fucking hard.
