Seriously the editor needs a raise!

I suspect the people making those stairs are actually assassins, preparing the location itself to use on their victims.

8:50 those aren't for wheelchairs. A lot of these were made before anyone thought that people in wheelchairs would want to move around on their own. These are for moms with strollers. 9:26 alarms like these trip when there's no current passing through the button/lever. So breaking it or ripping wires is the same as normal activation.

Stairs are already somewhat dangerous WHY ARE THEY MAKING THEM WORSE

5:16 can confirm, it's milliwatt. And can confirm, 100mW is enough to make you blind. To give you a comparison, I use a 500mW (pulsed) laser on a microscope at work. If you were to put a 5mm thick metal sheet directly at the exit of the laser, you could melt a hole through it. So yeah, that kids toy is a disaster waiting to happen. On another note, I'd dismantle it and have the light source for a homemade microscope, so why not :)

Key take away: STOP TRYING TO RE-INVENT STAIRS GOD DAMNIT

At least the pallet stairs at 4:28 only need to hold one or two people, and the weight is distributed across all the pallets. A while back I was helping a friend of mine move some furniture out of his attic and I noticed that he had propped up a broken roof beam with a rotten old pallet stood on it's side, screwed to the floorboards with a dozen or so screws. He said: "It's been like that for years, just be careful not to bump into it"

8:50 - Those are for baby strollers, not wheelchairs. The idea is that someone with steady footing is holding on to them. They used to be fairly prevalent in my country until the late 1990's.

Stairs, electrical outlets, and electrical devices. These engineers should be evaluated for serial killer tendencies.

Emkay's choice of sound effect to censor swear words is the best one I've heard, always makes me cackle hearing "what the FoyaK" or "oh SHoyaT". Keep using this i beg you. XD

Day 52 of asking Emkay for a collab between all Emkay and Ask Emkay narrators

r/stairs On a totally unrelated note: The engi from tf2 is actually quite smart - in the lore he has 11 engineering phd's so im pretty sure he would do better than that

The stairs at 8:52 is likely made for people to roll up their bikes, push their stroller up or down (we have similar stairs in Sweden), sure wheelchairs can go up there with a bit of help (people usually will stop and help) but more often than not there is a way around or an elevator somewhere

0:28 The engineer from tf2 has about 13 different PhDs. It's a little fact that not many people know. The voice impression was pretty good!👍

The way Robin said “Engineer” is the funniest thing I’ve heard in a while

0:15 When my father saw such a power pole for the first time, his reaction was: What a laid back relation to electric engineering!

9:12 - What’s wrong here is that it’s a manual pull type fire alarm, and if you look at the bottom by following the tube, the handle to actually trip the fire alarm has a box around it, which they said can’t be accessed without a wrench.

0:28 Can't have been made by TF2 Engineer. Not enough gun.

2:07 Missed the chance to say *”I wooden grill”* there.

4:34, as an dutch person who rides his bike to everywhere, i can confirm that that's duable and isn't the worst bike path i have ever seen.

It's always the stairs.

My neighbor has those kinds of stairs with the drawers.........and they're actually freaking epic. They come with a locking mechanism that makes the drawers not move - and they have that hydraulic system that pulls the drawer back in if left out. I actually REALLY want those stairs.....but they're freaking expensive if you have no idea how to install them yourself.

6:39 the sign says "BRGY. San Antonio" the brgy means "Barangay" which is town/village in filipino. And that is very dangerous, especially when you are drunk riding on a car crashing right onto that pillar

4:47 back when I was a kid, all the playgrounds had a slide 150 cm high and a ladder with just three steps. It took so long to get up there when you're small. Usually some older kids would help you get up. Only after like 10 years they started to build playgrounds with separate areas for toddlers (small slide, low to the ground)

2:14 that's not stairs, that's a roblox obby

0:42 Hello we are humans. We are the dominant species of this planet

3:55 had a drink when when my brain just goes “It’s self destruct mode”

Stairs. Why the hell is it always stairs? Thank god I could never live in some of these rich people homes. Pretty sure I'd die from just wanting a glass of water at night (I'm already clumsy enough with regular ass safe stairs at night, though mostly going back up)

That engineer voice was spot on.

4:43 god they even build in the anti-aliasing

4:16 robin:i have shocked myself with a wall plug once, its not fun! Me who got electrocuted by a tv plug that wasn't even plugged in when i was like 5 or 6 and saw my exact future happen to me 4 or 5 years later:oh really?

1:14 its a boiled now

0:35 Can we talk about how there's a cable that says "Wireless" on it?

The fire alarm thing is completely ludicrous but it can be triggered by a very accurate ball of the right size. Happened in our school because someone dodged a dodgeball and it triggered the alarm. We had to put something similar in but at least ours has a space to put your hand through

Oh come on the stairs at 3:16 are actually cool! 10/10 would fall down repeatedly.

7:54 the "no you didn't" just sounds like the most disappointed parent ever watching their kid say he tore up a 100 dollar bill so the could have a bunch 100 dollar bills from that one bill.

The steering wheel thing actually is very useful - when parked. We actually sell quite a few of that design and another one that completely blocks wheel access to contractors. They use them as a desk to fill out paperwork or work on their computer. So yes, Robin is correct about them.

0:30 that guy can build an automatically firing turret that can differentiate between enemies and allies, an infinite health, ammo, and metal supply, and teleportation, all using 1960’s technology.

3:01 is this guy living in a rust base LMAO

2:26 imagine a blind person tries to get help with the stairs

The thing about stairs is the people designing them think they're being all "forward thinking" and making art of some kind. They don't understand the concept of safety and why/how stairs work. This is why you never let and art major design a house.

4:57 these playgrounds actually were fairly safe as long as kids were monitored and allowed children to develop risk assessment form risky play, children actually get hurt more on todays playgrounds when they use them “wrong” and the playground, not meant to bear stress that way gives and the child falls. Children will always explore their environment make sure the environment can support that exploration also we do have trees if you don’t want to bring these back lol

1:05 my dial-up printer of a brain is still trying to process how this is dangerous

when you ran out of rrom in a house building game and have to put the toilet somewhere: 6:55

5:30 m is for milli, M is for mega

8:43 As a Slovak person, this made me laugh. You did an okay job pronouncing it!

8:56 this actually seems kinda useful. I walk down the stairs in my house with my feet sideways because the lack of surface area and I imagine these could make it easier

5:10 Exactly ONE step could have been taken to make that work. Specifically an upward one.

I love how the barrier bike lane @5:48 is painted like what!!

2:49 good room except for the stairs

(For both sets of drawer-stairs) “You’re never going to use any of those…” Me, who is a spinner with a fluff-stash and about a million spindles in various stages of yarn-production: *slowly raises hand* … I would?

1:55 this looks like it's going to send you to the backrooms

0:08 "You're a loser, kiddo!"

Wow, these steps are amazing *Thump, crash, bang, boom, clang, bonk, klang. Ow

6:05 if it was a jawbreaker that would just be a ball gag

5:05 where`s your kneecaps chucklenuts?

many of those stairs are actually something known as an alternating tread device, which is like stairs, but crammed into half the space for very small buildings. If you see funky asymmetric stairs in a small space, that's why.

it's common for tech inventors to get ideas from scifi but nobody told the dude who made those jump skates that you shouldn't do that with roadrunner cartoons

there are 4 types of posts in this video 1. wheelchair slopes that aren't slopes 2. thing made to contain hot things melted 3. Engineer TF2 design electric stuff 4. S T A I R S

Don't you dare insult Conagher, man's literally smart enough to make an immortality more efficient.

2:40 I thought that was a ramp lol

9:20 There are literally plastic pull station protectors made for stuff like this, they are basically a plastic cover that can be removed quickly. They are literally OEM parts… Also, the laser at 5:20 is 500 milliwatts. Anything above about 50 mW is considered dangerous to use without eye protection. The even scarier part is, that laser probably emits more IR light than green light due to how the laser diode works, so not only is it dangerous, but the most dangerous part of it is invisible!

4:50 Reminds me of my elementary schools old playground. There was obviously nothing this bad in the early 2000's, but there was one play piece that was just two pairs of metal beams that sloped up together, curved 90 degrees, and sloped back down. Obviously being elementary school children this was the most popular piece of playground equipment there. It didn't go toooo high up, but at the peak where it curves, you were a good 6 maybe 7 feet off the ground.

6:30 no, hidrocloric acid can and will melt a hole in you if you pour it on your skin, fun fact it can even disolve bone given enough time. Fun fact#2 stomach acid is basically composed of hidrocloric acid and some enzymes. Edit: time stamp

why is it that every time i watch an emkay video they upload a video is it magic🤔

6:17 in a biology test my friend and i did she wrote that hydrochloric acid was the main liquid in the circulatory system 😭

0:29 ENGIE CANONICALLY HAS 11 PHDS. He would NEVER stoop to such lows. Heck, he'd probably find a way to wirelessly transmit the electricity and use the leftover materials to build a 10-square-foot beer cooler.

9:19 a friend of mine hit a fire alarm with a basketball once. It went off all right.

Me when I start a new survival world in Minecraft 3:08

4:40 anti-alias on the sidewalk

0:45 not only is it teaching kids to bite electrical outlets, but the "binky" serves as a handle to pull off the safety plug, completely nullifying it's use to prevent sticking things in the socket in the first place.

8:48 as a person who's been living in the Balkans his entire life, i can assure you, that this is every wheelchair ramp there is

1:46 The ankle breaker!

7:28 Jesus Christ it’s a staircase not a rock crawling course

5:55 those gums are sold in my country, they are hollow inside so there is no need to be scared of breaking your jaw

4:28 he's lucky that it's the pallets where the boards cover the entire thing. Try walking on ones with half of that. Every other time I go out to the warehouse for Shasta, my foot gets stuck.

I just love how their reactions are always so funny.

0:01 cat

0:28 That's actually how he made the sentry's tripod. That is literally made by the engineer from TF2.

5:53 I've had one of those gumballs before don't worry, they're hollow.

The fire alarm thingy happened to my brother once. Some guy on his football (soccer) team shot a ball at it and it went off. Half of our town's fire department showed up.

3:32 Occupational Safety & Health Administration is the correct term. Those wires are also a violation of OSHA Standards

9:07 This actually seems to be a pretty good idea if you’re parked somewhere safe

8:23 I see those everywhere! Wait I should be worried

That Tf2 engineer voice line was 80% accurate

3:40 wait a apartment in london that isnt a flatshare for only £750 a month!!!! gotta look into this

The fire alarm light and sound emitter in a gym is protected by metal caging to prevent it from being smashed to bits by a basketball. One could reach into the cage of the alarm handle and perhaps, push it down when necessary, but I could be wrong

[ 0:30 or so ] Dane has never seen such horrors before.

Finally, after all these years... r/crappydesigns r/a**holedesigns r/dangerousdesigns We finally got them all....

2:20 Minecraft houses be like.

7:00 That's not "wasted space", that's an unused storage space. Or it would be...

7:29 every time you go up those stairs you gotta make a dexterity saving through

7:05 that's Ultimate Ears, a logitech company... they made awesome products though i hope it was just one defective charger 💀💀

7:20 - why didn't they just leave out the top step so that the spaces either side of it would be one smooth level? All these "disabled" ramps: how the hell is someone in a wheelchair going to be able to wheel themselves up that steep an angle? Never mind coming down: this must be how Eddie "the eagle" Edwards practiced for his Olympic ski jump attempt.

3:24 Imagine POV: Plugging in a usb flash drive

Lol “Dude, why is it stairs?! Why is it always STAIRS??!” in that omg I wanna die voice.

Jesus Christ that stone staircase with the green tape would be awful for me, I can’t see depth as I don’t really have depth perception, so if I look down a step I don’t know how deep it is, and some of those were normal sized but others were 3 foot drops, I would’ve broken my legs for sure.

Once when I was around 5, I had a space around the size of a small van behind my couch so I grabbed a key out of the key jar thinking hey this looks like a van. Why not sit down and why not there is a outlet so I climbed behind the couch and STUCK THE FREAKING KEY IN THE OUTLET. Guess what I got zapped then I came crying to my mom with pitch black fingers and the outlet part I put the key in and around the wall was pitch black as well.that is my dumb story

9:02 I actually have that, yes its NOT intented to be use while driving since well yknow why. You just use it when you are parked and planned to eat, or you could use it to smack idiots in the car /j . (r/woosh me if you want? I just wanted to explain)

7:50, a building in London actually used to be famous for that exact thing, many cars had been damaged/melted by it. The building has since been altered to not reflect and concentrate light.
