10:50 I've tried to accomplish what this man has but failed many many times. It pains me to know I have lost this battle. He is truly a mad lad. I salute you *salutes holding back tears*
A true warrior. I remember the days to forcing the chain back just a few inches further, to no avail. It warms my heart that a brave young soul has finally managed the impossible.
If the world wasn't so damn PC whipped, that'd make for a good freaking movie. Not glorifying the destruction of an entire belief system but watching a creative person become a monster over the span of his life and the events that took place to lead him to that point.
10:19 aight so there are these kind of shopping carts that require a quarter to use and they all interlock together with chains while stored so they aren't all over the place and it's hard to steal. Pretty handy way of storage. But he locked the cart... To itself... Like an a*hole lol
History buff Damien: Who is Himmler??? Me, also a history buff: Himmler is pretty much the main person behind the holocaust Damien: wasn't that Hitler? Me: Hitler was the CEO, Himmler was the dude in the board meeting who pitched the idea showing how effective it was
10:48 so, in Europe we have shopping cart locks to stop people from stealing them. On to unlock them you need to put in a coin. On the front of the devise is a chain with the "key" and on the back is a keyhole the interconnect all the carts. This man just took a carts own chain and locked itself. That, in Europe at least, is the ultimate power move
Well, apparently stores in Florida don't have this. And, yeah, this madlad's too dangerous to be kept alive UPD: guys, I know there are keyed shopkarts at Florida, that's just Florida man meme
2:10 My Mum did this when i was 3 because me, my brother and my sister all wanted something and my mum got fed up and threw a tantrum. It works, I don't remember having another tantrum after that..
Idk why but Damiens laugh is so precious, every day I get up just to listen to his laughter, my depression lifts almost instantly, thank you so much Damien for making my day. 😊
10:37 Damien: is that a seatbelt, or a cupholder? Me: that is a thing called locking your cart's together so people don't steal em, but that dude locked it with itself.
10:26 That's a special device they put on shopping carts in certain areas to prevent kids from playing around with them. What you're supposed to do is chain them together, so that you can't pull one out of the stack. You typically insert a quarter into the device to unlock the chain and use the cart, and the way this thing is designed, the length of chain is long enough to connect to the next one of these devices, but not connect to itself. What this mad-lad did was effectively break the device by jamming the end of the chain into the device, and the chain is so tight that it can't be removed.
“My moms a huge ODB fan” *me watching this with a ODB shirt on (his license thing) smiling* *Damien says “Shimmy Shimmy Ah” me also listening to Shimmy Shimmy Ah at the moment also* it’s a sign That’s he should’ve never died, WHY OLD DIRTY WHY.
I don't know if I should feel proud of the fact I could read the cursive correctly and so quickly. I guess high reading comprehension and being the child of a former SSD teacher does have its pros.
Okay Damien, this is what’s up: That thing that you saw with the cupholder on the shopping cart, those are used for locking together shopping carts at the front of the store that the shopping cart belongs to. You have to insert a quarter into the front slot facing you when you are pushing the cart in order to unlock the cart from the rest of the chain, and the only way to get your quarter back is to put the cart back, thus stopping people from just dumping their carts wherever they want to. What that person did was unlock the cart by inserting the part of the lock that goes into another cart into the lock itself
the funny thing is that I cant write tsu or shi without thinking its a smiley, then so and nn are like aa then just straight up no is just eyeless like wtf katakana Tsuツ shiシ soソ nnン noノ
Hide a part of a roll of tape on you, then later use that to tape the leg to you back. If you don’t bend an awkward amount, I don’t think anyone would notice.
I've done things that probably aren't madlad-like, but I consider me being a madlad: - Drank water on the school bus. One of the bus rules in my district is that you can't eat or drink on the bus. - Showered with the lights off. I also once showered without what my parents telling me to do, that being to open a window to let out steam due to a fan not being in service (I didn't open a window and somehow they were pretty chill about it) - Slept in a hoodie multiple times (the first time was as a joke for a video, but later times was because we lost heating in the winter and it became a viable option) - Adding on to that, I sleep in the clothes I'm going to wear the next day. This is actually not that rare, but I'm the only one in a household of 5 who does it. - Made several installations of Windows have the look and feel of other versions of Windows and even other OSes: Windows XP as Windows Vista (and currently Windows Longhorn), Windows 11 as Windows NT 4.0, Windows 11 as Windows XP, Windows 11 as Windows Vista, Windows 10 as Mac OS X 10.12, and Windows 2000 as Mac OS 9 (but I never got to experience the OS9 look and feel because I broke the installation and it gave me constant BSoDs) There were also things I were going to put in here related to PC stuff, but are actually pretty logical if you know a bit about computers and people who do a lot of stuff with them. Those include: - Installing Windows XP on a computer which would've ran Windows Vista from the factory (it ran Vista horribly, and besides, it said on the "cheat sheet", that the OS was Vista but downgraded to XP Pro) - Swapping out a 320 GB hard drive for a 465 GB one just to be able to install Windows Vista on a PC that previously had Linux (Ubuntu 22.10) installed. - Installing Windows 98 SE on an HP Pavilion a735w from 2004 (It actually worked, and I still use that PC for anything relating to old software and Windows 98, only issues I have are that there's not sound and it sometimes may fail to boot) - On two separate occasions, creating exceptions for programs my antivirus blocked, because the antivirus thought they were infected with generic malware. The thing is, my antivirus is Avast, and neither of these programs were infected with malware (one of them even is a game that is on Xbox Game Pass, so I don't even know how that happened, while the other program was run on my Windows XP computer with AVG and AVG didn't find any issues with the program) So... yeah. I don't know how to conclude this comment.
4:30 there’s Minecraft education edition and it is used for coding and has the elements in it. It can also be used to play normal Minecraft. I know this because we had a coding club that was shut down due to COVID and I’m allowed to play it at lunches because I tell my teacher I’m doing ‘coding’.
German and other European based grocers have them in the states. Those grocers have a pretty neat model for their businesses usually especially since food is cheap here.
Random reddit post: *scientific reddit post* Damien: “I do not understand the post, therefore it is stupid and the person who made the post is equally stupid.”
10:56 That, my good man, is an anti theft chain, you plug it into the shopping cart in front of it and you use a coin to unplug it, you get the coin back when you're done using the cart, you normally can't plug the chain into the same cart that it's attached to
10:30 I've seen mechanisms like this on carts at supermarkets like Aldi's, they are meant to cut down on people stealing shopping carts. Basically that chain attaches itself to other carts and then you put a quarter in to unlock it and get the cart, and when you're dont you reattach it and get your quarter back. This mad lad found a way to plug the chain into itself, getting his quarter back without having to relock it to the other carts. Man just shaved 10 seconds off his routine. nice job!
