r/RedneckEngineering | insurance companies hate this! 

Considering how often Lexi has mentioned Redneck engineering in her DIWhy or ATBGE videos, I'm surprised Robin is handling this one tbh. But knowing Robin's tendencies, this should be good either way.

the spectrum of human engineering and creativity spans from broke-smart to rich-smart

I just want to say the neat thing about -40° is it doesn't matter if you use Fahrenheit or Celsius, it's the only temperature where they're the same. So, in both units: *IT'S COLD*

11:16 is a German really pissed at math, because his equasion apparently equals "son of a bitch". Very funny if you ask me

Every German at 11:10 be like: Yea the equation is rightly solved

4:06 I've actually watched this happen. I used to live down the road from an Amish community and I ended up making friends with some of the kids. The adults never really liked me but they let me hang around anyway. One day I go over there on my bike after lunch and everyone was just fucking carrying a building. It was the craziest thing I had ever seen in my life.

8:45 Flint Lockwood's spray on shoes

The owner of that low-budget reverse sensor really followed the phrase "Work smarter, not harder".

Lol, my local Chinese food place did the same thing. They used plexiglass and a wooden drawer to pass money, but even after Covid, it's still like that. I think they enjoy not having customers right up in their faces while they're working. No complaints here.

These are honestly kinda genius! Although be it really badly built, the ideas and functionality are the main things to take away from this experience. Thank you Robin for going through this subreddit for us! 😊

The first one is the ultimate definition of "Modern problems requires moder solutions."

0:59 can confirms that this indeed does work. You’ll be doing flips in the water for days, and the only brakes would be you and your small kayak paddle, but it totally works if you want to go flying and never leave!

A stack of pallets as stairs isn't only dangerous because of the hazards of walking up and down them alone. One day you are going to wake up to find your house infested with Forklifts.

7:28 Cool fact: Fahrenheit and Celsius MEET at -40*, so there is no need to ask F or C.

8:08 In case anyone is wondering, this works, although it won't last as long as an actual C battery. I've done something similar by creating a spacer out of tin foil and replacing a D battery with a AA.

8:05 Those batteries (AAA, AA, C, D) are all 1.5 volts. There are things that you can buy online to plug a smaller battery into a larger socket. You could use 6 AAA batteries in series (6 batteries x 1.5 volts per batt = a 9 volt source) to power a 9V device, like a smoke detector, with the right adapter.

7:55 The best thing is, it doesn't matter if it is Fahrenheit or Celsius (btw go team Celsius!), as -40 is the crossover point where it is the same number, i.e. -40 °C = -40 °F.

Worked in a warehouse. Sorted pallets and i need to say they are much more durable than anyone thinks if made of the right wood.

This whole subreddit emits the "if it's dumb but it works, maybe it ain't so dumb" vibes

7:05 actually, I’d consider that to be brilliant, not only does it function, but it’s also an ironic art piece, taking the entire purpose of a boat and flipping it on its head. That’s just flat out brilliant, albeit it the wood bracers and open air filter system don’t give it the best look

3:43 In my experience, UHaul trucks already have their suspension destroyed, so no one will suspect a thing.

8:55 If you look at the "gun" you see a red tip. That is obviously a toy gun, so I would guess it is some form of costume. Why buy a holster for that?

1:30 That laptop's not likely to overheat and is easy to clean dust off. 👍

2:46 don't umbrellas have that hook at the bottom??

As an Idahoan, “ugh, of course it’s Idaho” is our state motto.

I mean, if electronics recycling facilities exists where I live, I'd do that. But no, they don't, so I just held onto my broken techs like a crazed hoarder

8:50 it really depends. You have shower heads that feel like a power washer, and ones like this, which act more like a gentle rain. So depending on if he wanted a gentle rain or power washer this works pretty well

This whole subreddit is the definition of "eh, why not?"

Dude pulling his trailer home with a u hual truck is genius😂

Truck tents are actually a thing sold in stores, but I applaud the ingenuity

4:33 I have that exact nerf gun and it already hurts to be shot with it, I'm scared if that thing would explode.

3:55 FUN FACT: The metal in a penny is worth about two cents. While it is a crime to melt down pennies for their worth, it still loses the US Mint $55 million each year.

6:22 as a filipino, its very true we do that tactic to prepare an flood/typhoon

11:00 Can personally confirm there are indeed gloves purposely-made for that sort of stuff- I have a few myself. Interesting tidbit on these "jeweller's gloves" though, miiiight look into it.

I used pool noodles to make the tentacles for my Koro Sensei costume. Lucky me though I got the idea in like February so I had to wait til around late May to put it into action lol.

8:45 “Behold, Spray on shoes!” -Flint Lockwood

Was only -40 in MN once within the past few years. Florida was experiencing an all time low of 40 while we had -40 which I still laugh at.

11:16 I love how the notes start with physics (angle of rotation) and ends with ''=bastard''

7:28 if this is your situation, put mass on the burners: the volume will heat and preserve the heat and radiate from more square inch surface area; steam expands and spreads heat better than dry-heat, so add water to pans on the burners to make the warmth more contributory. Bricks and cinder-blocks are safer mass to heat than stone, since stones aren't ceramic, ceramics have heat related properties most stones can't guarantee.

6:15 bro wasn’t even like emotional just dissapooonted

2:28 If cars existed in the 18th - 19th Century

11:00 Pretty sure the result of the arctan equation is not "son of a bitch"

1:32 they give you money here

2:55 Dude that's cheating to bring LPL in here. He basically opens locks by introducing himself.

7:20 Romanian engenering

0:36 RHD = Right Hand Drive, Robin. It's just a designation for which side of the car the controls are on. RHD vehicles are _always_ in demand among the Postal Service's rural carriers here in the States, and it was in a USPS group on Facebook where I first saw this very photo! "Import," my ass; that's a mailman's car!

My whole life is low budget

9:15 nah nah nah nah nah the best joke in tv history is when hank screams pocket sand

About the pallet stairs. I work in a sawmill, where we build pallets, and I have to say that I agree. Pallets don't stay together. They fall apart. I wouldn't suggest using them for stairs.

Me and my college buddies wanted to go sledding so we took two shopping carts, sawed off the bottom of both shopping carts, then attach both shopping carts to piece of plywood with zip ties. after we spent 2 hours on this project we tied a rope to the makeshift sled and other side to the truck and pulled it across a icy road.

8:20 yes they do but there so expensive that it's cheaper to do that

10:56 Love the solution for the equation "Hurensohn". At some point, most of us had that at the end

-40 fahrenheit is the same as -40 celcius. I think that is pretty cool

My Chinese food place did a whole delivery foyer system, it looks like they raided a Lowe's and prepped for a hurricane but the whole thing was so seamless, you put your order in, put your card in and the card and food came out

We humans get so much good ideas but forget about them, imagine if we write them down/make them true

1:57 just gotta come back here and say, my dad unironicaly did this once last year

2:23 This little bit of Re:Zero Eerie soundtrack gave me so much PTSD in an instant

Insurance companies love this guy. He never gets into any accidents but he just keeps paying every month.

3:07 Didn't think ahead, now battery change is a chore and maybe something they require the janitor for, especially if tools are not kept around. Just for fun, let's say he works like two days a week.

7:15 you set off my alexa, dang it

I love kind of dumb and improvised solutions to problems that somehow works.

8:45 - This is litterally the spray on shoes from Cloudy and the chance of meatballs

That rubber chicken is fighting for its life

10:56 yes, you can get a store bought version of that bandaged wipe. they are called artist drawing gloves. highly recommend them if you are working with a drawing tablet. no grease on the screen and your hand slides more naturally without sticking. all while your index finger, middle finger, and thumb are free to hold the stylus without being blocked by cloth

4:04 Riot Police not found: a blind deaf contiguous surge of amassed persons can totally walk over themselves to smother their opponents underneath; the concept of trample in practice.

OMG! There's a video of Amish people moving a barn and its so cool and kinda funny, from above it just looks like a barn with feet 😂 all jokes aside it looks super difficult and they should get mad respect for what they do.

9:00 "whole lot safer" That's an airsoft my guy

8:40 Hope they soaked those logs in wood.

OMG! Painting the dead bush to satisfy the HOA has to be the *best* !!!

As Murphy law says, "if it's stupid but it works, it's not stupid". Oh, and my personal favourite "if it ain't broke, fix it till it is". Everything can be fixed with the right amount of duct tape, bailing wire and chewing gum, just look at what they did to repair B-17s during WW2, one plane came back missing the verticle stabilizer (sheered right off at the fuselage) the fix, take the vertical stabilizer off a different B-17 that would never fly again and transplant over to the plane that is missing it (took a bit more then duct tape, bailing wire and chewing gu,m to fix, but the plane was back up and flying it's next sorte two days later, they did have to use some tape to seal up the holes left by the shrapnel). Oh, and the Jeeps and M1 Shermans, both were built in such a way that the average farm boy could fix things in the field, because it was country boys that worked on tractors and pickups that were crewing these vehicles. The Germans needed professional mechanics trained to take care of the tank and somewhere behind the lines to fix them.

9:56 That's NOT a cheap solution and it's hard to break. They might tip, but they won't break. Those pallets are quite expensive and they can have a cargo of 1-4t depending on the cargo and placement

0:22 idaho? nah nah, that's ohio behavior right there

4:20 I think they got the idea from military tents, which are heated by a diesel-powered heating unit in a similar manner.

8:25 They tend to be less lawnmowers and more small tractors with a mowing deck. I personally have a New Holland one and it's handy af.

That man with the umbrella, perhaps he isn’t actually Ahead of his time, but I’m sure he’s cracked the code to something!😂

1:10 would fit right in with r/halftops as well, I have an older Thinkpad that had no display so I just hooked up an HDMI port to it and used the laptop portion as a keyboard and connected a mouse and some extra drives.

Gotta say, I've seen pool noodles used more outside of pools than in them

Love the theft protection on that manual car lmao My coworker has that beat though, her car has a piece of rebar with no way to see where the gear directions are. Amuses the crap out of me every time I see it

Not me taping a power bank to the back of my phone case because I wanted more battery.

The guy at 11:02 is a genius at maths.... getting this term equal to "son of a bitch" is a masterpiece😂

3:40 U-Haul Clerk: "Hey does it smell like clutch in here..?"

The person on the kayak: *goofy sounds intensifies*

0:07 I sure hope they live in an area that doesn't have bears, or snow, or asshole neighbors.

0.15 Where I used to go for my MOT test, there was a broken down-pipe, he used a mudguard from a kids bike to scoop the water of a wooden windowsill, it looked like a tiny water slide.

11:05 why is the answer to his problem this hahaha

in alabama we dont have good microwaves we take plastic bags, put the food in, and blow in them.

That was great! Love the anti tailgater device. Sadly most people are too stupid to see that and worry about it.

Hahahaha I'm dying ... the equation of the guy who taped napkins to his hands says " = son of a bitch" ... he's solved the shit outta that one for sure.

This is an entire world of people i didn’t think i needed

2:29 that car is a replica of The Duke of New York's car from Escape From New York. It was built to participate in the Lemons Rally, a low-budget road rally. Some truly insane cars have been built for that. For example,, someone made a car into a driveable hot tub. It's a spinoff of the 24 Hours of Lemons racing series, where (aside from the safety equipment, the brakes, and the tires,) the budget cap to buy and modify your car is $500. I call it a racing series, but really, it's more like a party series that happens to have racing going on.

10:57 as someone who understands german, the math equation is hilarious, last line roughly translating to = asshole. lmaoooooo

10:45 isn't that from IDidAThing? I remember him making a video about a sandpaper treadmill a while back.

10:52 there is.. a whole product.. made just for this. it's a drawing glove. i know someone who wears one every single day

2:23 - Wow, just absolutely wow! That reminds me of my late father's inside joke between the two of us. If either of us asked for the 9/16" Adjustable Hammer, we meant the Channel Locks haha! I wish my father was still alive today to see that Crescent Wrench Hammer... 😂👍

So.. for the first one, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t work. If you ever notice how those chicken things work, they don’t make noise when you squeeze them, which is what would happen while backing up your car. They make noise when you let them expand, or release the pressure that caved in the chicken in the first place. This means that you would have to back up into a wall/other car *and then* go forward again for it to make noise.

I used a pool noodle to pad the edges of my top bunk. It only took one solid smack when putting my sheets on, and it's saved me many more a smack over the years.

2:29 Escape from New York? The Duke's car...lol

Sacrificing pennies to make washers , brilliant 🤣

0:08 that's just a F150 and a tiny ass garage

i’m glad i woke up at 5am today
