- Just a collection of random bits that didn't make it into their own videos
Here's the link to the paperclip car video on GrandadIsAnOldMan's channel: • Rubber Band Powered Pa...
(it's an older video that popped up in my recommendations, but still good) - Jak na to + styl
Brilliant, thanks for the shout out, and thanks for having a go at the car, and double thanks for not making one that travelled 10 metres and putting me to total shame 🧡🧡 Impressed with the 'no solder' approach too 👍👍
Thanks for the idea!
@@AtomicShrimp I was confused when the old video suddenly had some views today and then your video came up in my subscriptions 😁🧡
@@AtomicShrimp I have no use for toy cars but I would love to learn how to make buttered rolls with yeast or rolls with yeast that I can butter. Or how to keep neighbor dogs from barking with high/low frequency sound waves
I READ YOUR NAME 5 TIMES and every. single. time. i read it as "grandpa is an old man"
@@_glint close enough 😊
Only channel where I'll gladly watch videos about used food wrappers!
Unlike 5 min crafts lol
True
The funny thing is, this guy spoke more useful info in the few minutes about that rapper that 5 Min Crafts have done on their ENTIRE Channel (and Troom Troom etc.).
Clear Proof Atomic Shrimp is actually a GOOD CZcamsr unlike said channels above (5 Min Crafts, Troom Troom etc.)
Those bags, when fully opened, are good for craft projects using glue as the glue doesn't stick to them.
This is like an episode of the old kids BBC programme from years ago called "Why Don't You?"
I grew up on that stuff, and 'How', and Johnny Ball, etc
@@AtomicShrimp Me too, along with Blue Peter, Tony Hart, Vision On (even though that was mainly for hard of hearing kids but still had interesting stuff)
Great video shrimp! My wife failed to mention she worked with one of my favourite CZcamsrs, she recognised your voice whilst I was watching this video aha
25:55 I in fact, did NOT know that little tip. So thank you for taking the time to share!
The shiny metallised bags that ground coffee, crisps etc come in may be an even more interesting prospect - they have extremely low oxygen permeability. With the addition of a cheap heat sealer, you could use these to store oxygen sensitive foods like dried yeast, spices or herbs for a good long time, much longer than regular plastics.
The only channel I would watch 30 minutes about plastic! It is really refreshing to see a user not chasing the algorithm and just enjoying their life. Keep it up!
This looks similar to one of the top comments (but I guess you could have thought the same thing). As well he talks about other things other than bags.
Omg.. thank you for the cereal bag tip! What a revelation. I’m going to reuse them all from now on 👌🏻
You are what I like to call a TRUE Renaissance man. By all definitions, you fit that bill completely. Many younger folks may need to look that term up.
My wifes PopPop is the same way and that's also why my wife married me. I can range from fixing a car to crocheting to sewing to cooking. There are no static gender rolls in our family. The males do most all of the cooking and cleaning. My wife is an executive and appreciates never having to touch a dirty plate or make a meal. I also do the laundry and the windows. My wife even stopped going to get her hair colored as I, as a recovering perfectionist, do it much better. I draw the line at nails though. I stink at that.
I read the title as "Random Stuff in Plastic Bags" and thought it was a spinoff series of weird stuff in a can
Hmm, maybe I need to get more resourceful with the trash that humans keep leaving in my woods
love your username
When are u gonna get verified?
Well, you could always 'return' it to the relevant humans, fundamentally, with feeling. ;)
@@DickHolman Especially those humans that bag up their dog poop, then leave the bag on the edge of the trail.
@@ravenmorrigana1093 I'd help with that! :D
Something funny is that I started watching a series of yours (while I had already subscribed) without realising it was you! I watched a whole bunch of your scam bating videos and I was really enjoying them, (I had watched 3 or 4 at this point) and then I thought, gee, this guy is pretty cool, so I went to subscribe to your channel and then saw that it was you!
Same
Me too
I did that. Watched a scambaitng one that was recommended (assume due to watching Jim Browning) then found some more and watched those.. Not long after I saw something else recommended, about something totally different, and thought "That voice sounds familiar"....and then I realised Been hooked ever since....and now my 25 year old son is too.
@@amandadavies.. wow same I also wathc Jim browning
@@Happymz I was talking to my son about the fact that someone once said their voices were very similar ( we both agreed they aren't....but might be easier for us to spot, being British) and then my son said Atomic Shrimp is the email version of Kitboga. Had to agree. If you don't know him, look him up, and IRL Rosie....they both wind up scammers but by phone.
I can remember my mother washing and hanging plastic bags on the washing line 50 years ago to reuse them as they were so rare. The Butcher shop had a floor with sawdust on it. Wooden butcher blocks. Times have changed so MUCH. I am only 61.
I remember talking to someone about the first plastic bags sold for domestic use - they were expensive, and thick like this, and came with washing instructions
@@KitchenWitchery I still do, lol.
Rather than eyeballing the paperclip wheel and bending freehand, find a piece of round dowel of the approximate diameter and wrap it round the dowel and slide it off the end for a smoother curve.
I like the ‘Peanuts-esque’ music (you know, Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, etc.). It has a weirdly comforting feel to it that I can only imagine is a result of it’s tendency to invoke pleasant, childhood memories of a much simpler time 😌
The last section is a scam where your sale and many other will have boosted the products ranking, they enticed with a non existent too good to be true product and attached a tracking number from another shipment. As far as Amazon was concerned they fullfiled their end but the delivery company messed up and they refunded you.
They just swap the details attached to the Amazon SKU to their actual product which is now much higher in the rankings than it would have been
most simplistic calm channel and wholesome 🤍
I have Bags of bags of bags i use for random stuff like this. they banned single use plastics here ages ago and if you do get a bag its very thick plastic and can be used almost forever if you are careful with it. I also got a stack of free bag clips free with cereal so i can seal them.
thats cool, where r u from?
@@KNylen Aus.
@@pek5117 do you guys still have plastic packaging for things like crisps for example?
@@selfraisingsugar898 Yep, also plastic bottles but you get like 10c back for recycling them. you can still get plastic bags at some places but they charge you for it, everyone just uses cloth shopping bags now.
@@pek5117 .People here in the UK would have a fit, and accuse ’ the gummit ’ of tyranny if you asked them to inconvenience themselves for the good of the environment.
Kid: what's your dad doing with all those paperclips?
Daughter: I don't know, he's quite eccentric to say the least.
I rember getting toys in my cereal ❤️ miss those days ! Happy weekend
you can still get them from cereal boxes, but it's just not the same
I believe they were stopped because they or parts of them ended up in kids throats, the world became a little less interesting at that point.
I remember having cardboad cut outs of animals on the back of the boxes which could be turned into 3D models of animal heads, the elephant one was really good as I remember !
They probably got stopped for liability reasons too, they probably didn't want to encourage kids to handle sharp scissors or knives. It's a shame that we all have to go without certain things because some members of society can't tell the difference between edible food and plastic toys and can't be trusted not to cut their fingers off while cutting out shapes !
@@ianc4901 theres still word searches and stuff on them
one non brand cerial of a sicounter here in germany puts stuff about endangered animals on them and stuff
So much fun and you would put them together lol
@@ianc4901 Even in kinda eggs now the toy comes pre made , im glad i was a kid in the 80s !!
I'd just keep the Elephant projector and use it to project signs as an alternative to your "cinema" notice board from time to time :) Its really cute, wish I'd got one when they were £10!
For the last part of the video, you were most likely buying a product where the seller would initially sell something random to beef up numbers of sales and reviews before switching it to the real item.
I love how calming most of your videos are? They're pretty zen, and the absence of background music really help their "cosiness" if i can say.
Me opening a bag of cereal.
The bag tearing down the middle :(
Always use a bag opener *_8< ; P_*
Same for big bags of crisps. So much nicer to get your hand in and out of too with the top cut nice and clean!
@@EggBastion for the older ones: scissors
Excellent video - thanks A.S. As always, very relaxing listening to you talk about random stuff. Funnily enough, my mum recently had exactly the same thing happen, on two separate occasions, with two low priced items ordered from Amazon. The tracking said they’d been delivered but never showed up. From what I remember, the tracking/delivery details looked really suspicious as well. So, I talked her through contacting the suppliers to ask for a refund. Like you, I suspected it was a scam, and I wasn’t confident that she would see her money again. However, both suppliers provided a full refund. I was racking my brain to work out how this was a scam - if indeed it was. I think you may have touched on it - it could be a percentages game - for low cost items, if 20% of people never ask for a refund, then that’s money in the bank - whilst not drawing much unwanted attention from the bigwigs (and smallwigs - I'm not wiggest) at Amazon, if everyone that asks for a refund gets one. It would be interesting to find out if this is actually the case.
As kids mum used to get those wax bags and wash them, we would colour them or draw on them, and she would make them into “shrinkies” in the oven. Don’t know if they use the same plastic now, but it was fun shrinking bags back then.
I came back to this video just to let you know that I’ve been using and saving old cereal/cracker/chip bags and using them as various trash receptacles in all corners of my life! If I have a large bag I’ll use it for kitty litter because so many plastic bags now a days are so thin that they’ll have holes in them before I can reuse them. Another application is as a car door trash bag for small things that end up in my car; it’s rolls down into a nice compact container that doesn’t rip easily and doesn’t fly around if I have my windows down. Thank you for your wonderful tips and tricks Mr. Shrimp!
I'm very impressed by the level of knowledge on the production processes for the components. Its a proper education watching this - thanks.
I would recommend round-nose pliers, made for bending wire. Hobbycraft sell them. Wonderful video as ever!
Interesting idea on the plastic bags. I used to do stuff like that with paperclips when I was younger, but never that level of intricacy, typically some sort of slingshot or catapult.
I've been binge watching a lot of your videos, and I really like the way you talk. Sounds a bit weird, but it's just entertaining to listen to you speak about different things. Keep up the great content. Cheers.
You are a legend. You take the time to actually look at what might be going on but you always keep it real.
Just started watching the segment on the first plastic bag and I'm going to use the idea this weekend! Thanks for your ideas!
I never thought I would get enthused about a plastic bag, but I an now
perfect channel to wind down to. Thank you!
I agree
I reckon he should do sleep meditation podcasts
I find all your videos fascinating. The cereal bags I use daily for another purpose. I use a die cutting machine and I put use it to help release the metal die. Works very well. Once again, thank you.
The music, especially, makes this video feel like an episode of "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood." Absolutely lovely content.
Thank you! I never thought of reusing the bags that come in the cereal packets.
EDIT: 19:42 - From my first glimpse, my brain was screaming "Oh, God, the soldering!" As someone who professionally soldered and performed intensive electronics repair for Ericsson back in the 90s and early 2000s, this hurts my heart. How can anyone be alright with that finished PCB? If this went through a reflow oven, then there are even more issues, as the boards should come out looking quite pristine for all of the SMDs. Most importantly, where the heck was the QA? *shudder*
This channel always has the coolest of ideas. I sadly just threw away two perfectly good cereal bags maybe ten minutes before getting this in my feed. 🤦♂️ Ah, well, I'll know to keep them for next time, as we often need baggies and/or covers for various things through the week, and we spend a good amount on Glad bags and such.
The chip labelled 4056 90530 that you had as ? is a TP4056 lithium ion charge controller.
The little circuit board under the wrapping of the 18650 cell itself has a little protection circuit on it, usually based on a tiny 6-pin chip like the DW01. That chip is only meant to protect the cell from overcharge, overdischarge, and overcurrent.
"That may also be true of the device you're watching this on" lol
May sound horrifying but we were taught to use those bags and some tape to make what is essentially a one-way valve for somebody with a hole in their chest. It allows for somebody that has been shot or otherwise impaled to breathe without collapsing their lung
As always, a great watch, interesting topics looked at, built and reviewed. This is such a good channel... Thanks for the link to Grandad Is An Old Man. I've subbed. Cheers
Congratulations on 600 thousand!
Your dry readings of poorly translated English never fail to make me chuckle like an idiot.
Maybe bend the paperclip around a pen or other round object to make the wheels? I love this type of video BTW. Also would like to hear from you which other channels you are watching and liking 😊
Go to Atomic Shrimp's channel, then look up the "channels" tab to find the ones he is subscribed to. I actually found some really interesting channels in there :)
I despise plastic wrap compared to containers. I will definitely use the cereal bags with a rubber band to clamp on food that goes in the fridge
Thank you for the bag idea! Love it! Will be using this hack from now on!
My sister gets mad at me for stuff like this. She thinks I am being a miser, and talks over me when I try to point out I do it for the environment.
Looks like she just wants to get mad...
I've got a sister like that. I don't talk to her any more - why bother?
the idea of family dinner is so wholesome, i don't get many these days.
Cherish the moments you've got Mr.Shrimp...
ah what am i saying? judging by your "how to be happy on purpose" video i imagine you need very little, if any, help with appreciating things
Just wanna say I love your videos, and your weird hands! 🙌🏻❤️
I reuse the bread bags too. I rarely buy cereal but it's true, the bags are really useful for lining things too.
Those bags are great for rolling out dough inside. Many bread wrapper bags here in the States can be reused too.
Regarding plastic bags, here in Canada - at least in Ontario, they don't have them in many other parts of the country (I lived in BC and there they haven't even heard of this) we get milk in bags, and those bags are super great for reusing! I grew up with all my school lunches packed in milk bags rather than ziplock.
Very creative, I might use this in my classroom 😊
Love random stuff will save watching till later something to look forward to.
I do recommend anyone considering reusing plastics to hand dry them with a dry cloth as in the past my experience has been that depending on the soap you use and the concentration, as well as your thoroughness in rinsing (it seemed in the video it was a quick and unconcerned rinse) a chemical smell/taste can remain on whatever you store in the reused packaging. Also, ensure you can properly seal whatever is stored in it, that dish left little room to ensure a proper seal and would do minimally more than storing it unsealed. Of course by the way you loosely sealed your bread bag with a clip the length of an inch or two, that bread will go stale quickly. You're not trying to achieve a perfect seal, but the less air you allow in through gaps, the longer your food will last.
I had a friend who made dragons out of paper clips. Fascinating to watch.
Also, I wish the media and companies encouraged recycling and reusing instead of waste and consumption.
I like how this channel has tons of useful stuff instead of just one thing
What a brilliant idea with the bags, thank you!
Didn't know about the self tapping screw technique, thanks!
This is actually a really great point and idea with the cereal bag. Thanks for the upload!
Loving the variety here
Bend that wire round a felt tip marker to get them round, and all the same size.
Extremely resourceful. A great skill set to have.
Great idea for cereal bags, I never eat cereal but I prefer to reuse any good bags until they are tattering.
Thank you
Did not know that about self-tapping screws! My future electronics thank you!
Ohhh man I think I have one of those disorders where sounds irritate the hell out of me and plastic bags rustling and crunching does my head in
its also worth noting that hdpe will be far less permeable to moisture than modern clingfilm.
That elastic powered car really gave me the Jørgen Clevin vibe again - this is praise!
I found this really therapeutic thanks for the neat video
I think the car?is a fun video. You know a lot about components. Lost me as soon as you opened the projector.haha. Fun to watch . Hope you will do more videos. I really like your videos where you forage in the Forest.
I use my food saver to seal these bags and chip bags etc. I open the bag, use what I want, trim and seal. I do it over and over until it is too short to use again. Most bags get 4 or 5 uses, some times more. Potato chips last much longer. Oxygen and humidity is what makes food go stale. I just insert the end of the chip bag, gently push as much air out as I can and hit "seal". My chips last much, much longer staying crisp and fresh.
I think there could be a good challenge video around the lock down free school meals controversy. The boxes were supposed to be valued at £30 which should be ok, even easy. However the photos of the actual food boxes being supplied are a long way short of that in value as some supplied profiteered. Perhaps take one of the photos of an actual food box and price it up from some the main supermarkets.
So smart and such great use of leftover containers
I love the randomness of these videos 😂really shows your just doing this for fun and not to please the algorithm
"Little toy car made out of paperclips, the size of a paperclip." You do know that's impossible, right? If it's made of more than one, it literally can not be the size of one.
I guess it depends what is meant by 'size'. It would be possible to make a car from one or more paperclips that stood within the outline size of the original paperclip, but if you watch the other video, you'll see that he explains his rationale anyway; some paperclips are really big, and when people say things like "size of an ant" they are being figurative. For example Grain Of Wheat Bulbs: www.railwayscenics.com/volt-grain-wheat-bulbs-c-20_25_64_113_207.html
Very good. I wrack my brain trying to figure out how to reduce/reuse. Thanks for sharing
If you do strip a thread in a plastic case, a tiny bit of the pvc covering off a piece of wire dropped into the hole will give you enough grip if you don't overtighten it
You can store rice or beans in it for longer periods of time. You can probably deal it again. Harder crackling plastic stores better, because it doesn't "breathe" as polyethylene. Soft non crackling bags seaps air through.
finally, a good diy video
Those HDPE bags can also be re-sealed with a food saver unit. Crisps, cereal and the like enjoy being resealed vs rolled up and dumped back in the box.
Hi Shrimp, one guess I'd have as to why the product details changed is to do with the barcode attached. Amazon requires a valid barcode that's registered to you be linked to each product you list, but these are either expensive to purchase or you have to get them from dodgy bulk online resellers and that's a lottery as to whether or not it will work. So I guess they managed to get one product up and they're just planning on reusing the listing for a different product so they don't need to go through the massive faff of getting the system to accept another barcode / GTIN/UPC. I've listed a product on amazon before and getting it to accept a code is a bewildering mess where you soon realize barcodes are basically an illegal cartel so I can fully understand someone not wanting to do it multiple times. And I was only trying to list a novelty UK pub carpet based colouring in book which had none of the international GTIN faff I imagine importing comes with
would be interested in Big Clive doing a tear down on the little projector just for the extra electro mechanical knowledge he brings! good content as always
If I took something to bits like that it would have to end up in the bin, as I wouldn't have a clue how to put it back. My late father was really food at doing that, but sadly I don't take after him in that way. I like the plastic bag tip, though they wouldn't fit over my most used oven dish. Bound to be useful for something though....watching your videos has made me more frugal than I used to be 👍
love how mandem is just washing out a cereal bag and I'm interested.
Man’s not hot but that ain’t my portion
@@thetelephoneprankster4254 QUIK MATHS
The bags will be removed strait from the recycling. most nave no markings for recycling even though HDPE is one of the most valuable plastics to recycle but the fact that you reuse them makes so much difference. I never considered reusing these bags till now thank you.
We have separate recycling facilities for bags and plastic film. I think despite being a mix of resins, it can be recycled into reusable shopping bags (the thick semi woven kind)
So many videos lately and now one for 30 min! Nice
This video has all the goodies!
I don’t know why anyone throws these away. They are indestructible....
I'd like to see weird stuff in a can next. I do really like those videos.
These random videos clear the head ☺
Blimey That gibberish written on your Amazon projector emails could have been sent by the soul called John Barosa
I beg don't tell me about him again!
@@AtomicShrimp Have no fear
I still have the soul called John Warosa up my sleeve 😁
Very entertaining!
Thanks for the video. Great idea for cereal bags but what do I do with all the left over cereal?
Throw it to the birds ;))
Finally a competitor against Tasla
Big Clive might want to do a video on one of those projectors
Thank you for showing this as I have wondered about the cereal bags. Can you use them in the freezer?
They might get brittle in a deep freezer. Not sure
Great idea with the cereal bag.
