You did it!! CZcams has REVERSED its decision & reinstated this video! AMAZING EFFORT everyone, I genuinely believe it will save lives IF we can get this video to the top of search results for 'fractal wood burning'. Unfortunately, we lost 7000+ original comments when it was banned, so if you want to help please leave a comment, share and watch it through. Thanks again, we did something good together ❤
I WAS JUST WATCHING UR MOST RECENT VID THEN I CAME TO UR PAGE
GLAD TO SEE IT BACK xoxo
Good job! Amazing to see it back up again!
this one: CZcams BANNED my Debunking Video but leaves DEADLY how-to vids online, 34 dead!
So happy I checked, but even happier for you!
Glad you can keep saving lives with this video!
Ann stood strong against CZcams's nonsense and won. Way to go Ann!
Yeah, wow, that didn't take long.
Yes, yes yes!!!!
so true!
We gotta continue sharing and commenting on this video, and report the ones that actually promote these acts!
YT was a hypocrite tho
I am the widow from this video. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart for not only making this video and putting it together so well, but sharing this message. It is a message I will spend the rest of my life sharing, as I miss my husband every second of every day. ♥️ and thank you for fighting to get it back.
I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine what you have gone through. I hope you will find peace in your life❤️❤️❤️
I'm sorry for your loss, it's such a shame. I too saw this wood art and thought how beautiful it was. After knowing how its created its so scary, definitely so unsafe. The message needs to get out to prevent more unnecessary deaths. I'm so sorry 😢 just by telling your story you are spreading awareness and helping so many others. X
As a lifelong crafter, I can imagine your husbands drive to find new ways to create, and I'm so very sorry for your loss, and that what he clearly enjoyed took his life. My love and best wishes to you and all his loved ones. x
My condolences. I know your wounds won't vanish, but I hope that time helps ease them.
Condolences, and thank you for sharing this.
We made same fractal wood at the University in the course of electrical engineering. There were a dozen layers of passive protection, including a grounded double metal cage. We put the electrodes, left the cage, closed it tightly, otherwise the automation would not work, closed the second cage, and then turned on the switch to supply voltage to the electrodes. What we saw terrified us, because we knew what electricity is and how dangerous it is. It lays the same fractal patterns inside our flesh. That's why injures so massive.
When I was at school as a blacksmith, we were told to never wear gloves while using a certain machine.
We never really took it seriously and wore gloves anyway because otherwise, you can get small cuts on your fingers from the metal.
I almost always wore gloves when using that machine until one day when I met a guy who had lost 3 fingers and half of his hand to that machine because he wore gloves while using it. The tip of his glove got caught in it, causing the rest of his hand to get pulled in.
I've never worn gloves when using that machine since I met that guy.
I still get people asking me "why don't you wear gloves?" when they see me working the machine. It's crazy how people don't take safety precautions seriously until they or someone they know get hurt.
@@aon02bThere's the old adage that safety regulations are written in blood. Any obvious or silly rule from your workplace or OSHA exist because someone didn't follow them and _died_ or got seriously injured.
@@aon02b belt sander? I’m a traditional silversmith and we use most of the same big tools y’all do; I have made jigs and workarounds in my own personal shop so that I don’t have to use one because I hated the little sand-cuts I would have after using it in school! Honestly the thing gave me awful anxiety using it after our safety demonstration: that thing is so powerful and you have to work so close to the business end of it…. I was always worried I would get my fingers sucked in even without any gloves on!
@@5taceydaisy You should try the wet belt sander at a glass shop. Thick gloves for the glass, water spraying all over the sharp edges you are holding, and knowing that if it slips, it will likely shatter into a thousand possible missiles.
@@5taceydaisy my colleague lost his fingers specifically to a floor standing pillar drill. But you're not supposed to wear gloves with anything that rotates, really.
I've got some nasty sand cuts from the belt sander as well.
High voltage engineer here: Never open the microwave oven if you don’t know what you’re doing. Inside there’s a HV capacitor in the oven that will shock you to death even if the oven is not powered on. Doesn’t matter how old/ scrappy the oven is. In fact if you can never buy these things for your home
Are you saying to never buy a microwave for your home?
@@aon02b i think he’s talking about the HV capacitor itself not the oven
My dad nearly killed himself on a capacitor years ago. That wasnt even close to as dangerous as this. No one should handle HV if theyre alone and unprepared for an emergency.
I replaced the inverter in my microwave, not sure if it's as dangerous as traditional microwave ovens(so much better though that I repaired a 20 year old microwave rather than buy a new one for less money, still cheaper than an actually equivalent new unit of course), but I was scared every step of the way, voltage probing at several points on every step and making sure to discharge capacitors properly(thankfully no sparkies) before getting unprotected skin anywhere near them.
Shit is dangerous. There are good reasons(and bodies in the ground) behind the "no user serviceable parts" warnings on these things.
Gordon Ramsey would agree @@aon02b
I’m sorry- uhhh creators, according to CZcams’s OWN RULES, cannot monetize “harmful and dangerous acts”. So WTF CZcams???
Unfortunate it's in CZcams's 'best interest' in the short-term (till lawsuits inevitably occur) to monetize everything. The handling of copyright is probably because they don't want to get sued or make companies mad by making it easy to appeal copyright problems.
@@NapaCat This is in no way a copyright issue, did you even watch the video, or read the comment you are responding to? It doesn't seem like it.
@@NapaCat wtf this got to do with copyright lol
If Fox News isn't being held responsible for being the domestic terrorists that they are then I don't see why a site like CZcams should be for something so much less egregious.
omg hannahthehorrible in the ann reardon comments im a huge fan
Ann, to reiterate what I said before this video was temporarily banned: You probably saved my life. I was looking into fractal wood burning lately, and while I fancy myself to sooner or later have found out about the dangers myself by research, I would not want to bet my life on it. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Also, thanks for being persistent and risking a strike to get the video up again.
take care, i didn't realize that content this absurdly deadly could just casually exist so i guess there's no choice but to doubt everything going forward no matter how many videos you see, ann can't save us all
Glad you’re safe!
So glad you’re alive to say this because Ann stopped you from taking senseless risks.
@@Crosshill i think it is very important to safety check any craft activities tbh. A lot of these craft videos lately seem to be started by content farms with zero interest in safety.
Thank you for taking the time to re-comment. Continue to be safe. Watch Mark Rober for safe diys :)
My dad, a Master Electrician for most of his life, has always said something along the lines of, "Anyone who says they know everything about electricity doesn't know anything about electricity and will probably get them or you killed."
The videos of people doing this, are like the Dunning-Kruger effect being demonstrated in real time. You'd have to be either a moron, or out of your goddamn mind to think this shit is safe.
However I learned the most important thing about electricity, Call the electrician, don't do it yourself
I've been an electrical engineer for 35 years and I don't even want to mess with Fractal Burning... This is insanely dangerous!
Are electricians and electrical engineers different? Im starting an electrician apprenticeship next year and I'm curious about what to expect.
@@EliasKayama245as far as I know engineers design or test electrical devices and whatnot and electricians do more installation and service.
@@EliasKayama245 as an apprentice you will learn more about instalation and service house hold related electronics like circuit breakers and lights and a general understanding of how these things work just the practical stuff which will keep you safe, eletrivcal engineering is more about integrated circuity(PCBS) where a greater understand of how different electonic work using things like transformers, transistors, diodes and how to build electronics which have a spasific function (not out of the box)
electricians can put together the puzzle, while a engineer paints the picture on the puzzle
im not a electrial enginner but i am a nuclear physicist whos work mostly involves micro controllers
@@7angels844 you sure ain't an electrical engineer or electrician because electrical engineers and electricians know the difference between electronic and electrical devices and applications, and electrician apprentices can work on domestic which is simple or industrial that gets a lot more complicated....
"No, we don't pay them; it's for exposure" is one of the oldest excuses for getting free content out of creative types. Artists have been dealing with it forever.
Todrick Hall did the same thing. it's upsetting
Yep it’s so true. The fact that they delineated “derivative works” so they could make merch or spin offs of any video, or artwork you put on yt. I’m disgusted but not surprised. The way they only flashed the channel name when other CZcamsrs generally keep the credit up on screen the entire time a clip plays. Just goes to show who really respects who.
When anybody else does that, their video can be demonitized or taken down. When CZcams themselves do that, it's "oh, we love giving our creators exposure". I wonder if the creators knew about theit content being shared and consented to it beforehand.
@@Kasiarzynka When it's buried in legal jargon that no one bothers to read (have you read everything you're supposed to scroll through before you accept it?), people just don't know. And it's made hard to read for a reason.
By uploading to CZcams you agree under the standard CZcams license that any content you upload can be used by CZcams to promote the site. That's pretty much true for any social media company. They're not legally obligated to compensate the creator as scummy as it looks.
It's so sickening that CZcams will aggressively go after some channels for the smallest thing while allowing and sometimes even actively promoting dangerous content.
It's really beyond ridiculous that true crime channels that are aimed at adults - especially the ones with the "you must be 18+ to view" thing - can't even allude to some crime occurring (even when they aren't showing photos/video) but CZcams is actively fine with promoting content that is confirmed to be killing people, aimed at all audiences so some children are even dying.
Just fucking beyond ridiculous.
While also basically reposting creators videos and getting more views than the originals lol
I think Ann made a video about why that is awhile ago. About how mindless garbage content farms can basically do whatever they want and promote lies/dangerous activities because the millions of viewers that they pull in is staggering. So basically MONEY🙄. It's such a shame
it’s like the united states govt in the form of a video sharing corporation lmao
@@evewhoo Yeah that too. They have zero accountability.
It seems that a couple months ago we had a neighbor and his friend that tried this, and one of them died as the result of it. As soon as my husband told me about what they were doing, I immediately thought of this video and when I saw it a year ago, and came back to comment on it. I saw some artists last year that were selling this stuff, and even though they claimed very high safety measures to make it, I decided that I wouldn't ever purchase anything using that technique. I don’t want to contribute to demand for something so dangerous.
An educated artist would never sell anything as stupid. I’m glad you didn’t buy it. They should find another job.
Saw a short recently with my partner- first time seeing fractal wood burning, partners first words were “and that video is going to kill someone” followed by an explanation of what would happen.
As the daughter of an electrician I wouldn’t go near anything like that with a 10ft insulated pole.
Thank you for doing this video ann, from my searches you appear to be number 2 in search results on fractal wood burning and since this video came up on my recommends 1 year later it looks like it’s going viral again. Well done!
Fractal woodburning seems like one of those things the Mythbusters would try while wearing insulated gloves, standing on a rubber mat, and saying excessively and urgently "don't try this at home".
Yep
Now I want Adam Savage to collab with Ann!!
Unfortunately, you're not required to say "Don't try this at home" on CZcams. You can, in fact, explicitly describe your content as a "How to" guide and never mention that it'll probably get the viewer killed or mutilated.
They would absolutely have (1) built a robot to do this, and then (2) delivered basically the same sermon Ann did in this video, from a heavily-insulated bunker half a mile away from said robot.
They're build a *robot* with insulated gloves to do it, probably.
As an electrician, myself, I think that painting using a chainsaw while wearing a kaftan and riding a unicycle might be a safer option than fractal wood burning.
That's a really interesting visual. 😂
go on.....
Question: will a solder iron work for wood burning or is there no safe option
@@lovelasnow3754
No! A soldering iron just delivers heat while fractal wood burning requires very high voltages. You will probably just set fire to the wood and then your house.
Don't do it!
@@lovelasnow3754 Yes solder iron wood burning is completely different (although you should use one made for pyrography, it'll be a lower temp). I've done this for years. It doesn't have a current between two points, it's just a heated metal tip. You essentially have the same risk as you do with anything boiling hot, ie burns to your skin, but not instant death. Source: I've poked myself accidentally with it in the past lol. Again, it did leave a nasty scar so still nothing to scoff at, but nothing like this crazy fractal stuff. It'd take far more effort, but you could probably try designing and tracing out a fractal pattern yourself with a solder iron if you wanted a similar effect.
The only video I've seen that could possibly compete with the danger of this hack is one about how to make your own DIY wood chipper / garden shredder. This involved removing the blades from knives and welding them to a motor inside a plastic bucket. If anything goes wrong with the weld job at all, the blades will fly off at knee height, and the plastic isn't going to stop them. Do NOT attempt to do this. I don't know if there's anyone who has gotten hurt, and I don't want there to be.
That sounds like a crazy dangerous idea. Even if the blades never come loose, I don’t think that a plastic bucket could be counted on to not break apart when being struck by high speed chunks of wood.
My mother’s best friend’s oldest son died using electricity to scorch wood boards. Also in Wisconsin. Very scary. I believe he touched the table.
I'm an electrical engineer and I'm gonna say this:
She is absolutely right. Don't do this.
We practice safety measures when dealing with high voltages and things still can go terribly wrong.
Transformers are EXTREMELY dangerous.
Hot take ; If you use a transformer without understanding the risks, you deserve that Darwin award!
@@mobrenna *in this way
Because we all use transformers pretty much every day
@@mobrenna Seems pretty harsh.
@@mobrenna i really don't think ann would like you supporting the deaths of all those people
@@mobrenna room temperature take: you're disgusting.
So if CZcams is the one uploading a video to Facebook, are they liable for the the content? Seems like it would be hard to deny responsibility for the content in that situation. Interesting.
as far as I understand it they aren't liable for the content of other creators, but they can use said content to make themselves money
wonderful little set of conditions they've got there...
@@eveleynce But are they liable for allowing the content to their platforms?
@@ChrisIsAPotato Not in the U.S. czcams.com/users/shortsduFt17JLVcs
I'd be very, very interested in seeing how that pans out in court.
@@ChrisIsAPotato I assume they'd say it was the original creator's fault, i know nothing for sure though.
Just letting you know that YT randomly recommended your video to me. I had no idea how dangerous fractal wood burning was/is.
I'm commenting and liking so that YT will keep recommending it to people and it get's even more views.
Thank you for a well made video. You have a very easy to listen to voice.
This popped up on my feed today and I thought I'd seen and commented before, but didn't realize there was a controversy and it was deleted!
I want to say, I saw a video posted on another site showing fractal wood burning, and to my delight, most of the comments (over 200) were just saying how incredibly dangerous it is and how the person doing it is lucky to not be dead yet. No one seemed interested in the result or knowing how to do it. It seems the internet knows about this and how bad it is, due to videos like this. Well done!
This isn't "people might die". This is "people HAVE died" and CZcams continues to allow the videos to be shown.
There is no accountability and there will never be any apology or compensation from CZcams because they are too rich and powerful.
when companies grow too big, they reach a point where they no longer care, then another point where people can actually tell they don't care. its become hard to trust big companies.
Hey, those political agenda's aren't going to push and censor themselves!
CZcams is more concerned with whether a video is "advertiser friendly" than actually safe. They're more upset about people saying words like "murder" "suicide" or "eating disorder" in their videos (making creators have to walk on eggshells and find new ways to talk about those subjects or even mention the words lest their videos get taken down or age restricted and demonetized) than showing dangerous life hacks that kill people.
They aren’t too powerful for the EU. The US makes a conscious decision not to act.
I'm really glad that this comment survived the blocked and releasing YT nonsense
Microwave transformers are one of the most horrifyingly dangerous things an amateur can get their hands on, and fractal wood burning is far from the only immensely dangerous thing they are featured in on youtube.
yep, microwave transformers (or disassembling microwaves in general) can still be lethal even if the microwave hasnt been plugged in for a while, and as she said, even experts who use them still die doing it
i did a year of electric work for my schools mandatory tafe subject, the amount of safety needed just to even setup one of those things is mindboggling, you put your thick as fuck rubber gloves on, rubber boots, eye protection, you ground yourself, ground the table, connect up the transformer using special clips that are fully rubberised under the constant insntruction of the bloke teaching us, and the arc that came out of the rod used for the demonstration was massive
Yup experts either don't mess with them or rewind them for low voltage high current. They are just stupid to use. Experts that do fractals use neon supplies and switch it remotely, never go near anything plugged in with bare leads.
Edit: see Big Clive's channel for a video specifically addressing this issue.
I've worked as a professional technician and I'll take apart a lot of stuff but I will not mess with microwaves. It's so easy to do one thing wrong and then it's deadly.
My eyes went wide as soon as Ann mentioned microwave transformers. This is just so far beyond dangerous. They may as well be playing Russian Roulette.
Everyone needs to recognise this practice!! Because of your video and others.... When i walked into the maintenance area of the property i manage.... I saw wood pieces with dractal burning on them. I had just watched this video and knew rhat it meant our maintenance guy had been doing that in our shop. A) its not his job to be making wood art at work. B) the liability to the company we work for is astronomical. I immediately let him know how inappropriate and danferous this was and followed it with a write up with no second warning option.
Came across this video again, and wanted to give it another boost. Love your work Anne.
The fact that a baking channel is doing more to protect the safety and lives of the viewers of CZcams than CZcams themselves. The situation is ludicrous.
Keep it up Anne. Utmost respect for you and your content.
youtube can't babysit lower iq ppl all the time.

So true

Idk why I just love the word “Ludicrous” you saying that = 1 like
#1 crafting tip: Don’t do anything that starts with “disassemble a microwave oven”…….the capacitor inside could kill you before you even get to the transformer……..just a tip…
yup!
That is shocking! ya, I couldn't resistor.
@@Doonit_hard_way_since_65 😂
@@Doonit_hard_way_since_65 Ya know, my brother just started wearing make-up and dresses. Ive been calling him my “Transistor”! LoL!
@@Dingomush I like that, might be stealing that term. I'll spend a lot less time in twitter-jail.
I'm not sure how I came across this video, but I'm glad I saw it. My husband is a woodworker and people frequently send him things about the beautiful projects he could do and he's always telling them that it is extremely dangerous and he will NOT be doing it. But it continues, so I'm glad to see a video like this. I only wish that the video was split so that it focused on the dangers and had a title like "Fractal Wood Burning Dangers" so it was easier to share.
On a side note, the look after trying the milk tea gelatin was priceless LOL.
so true, the message could easily be missed but at least it looks like many people did still hear it
There is another version of the video because this one was initially taken down by YT, but the other one just has the fractal wood burning section and is still up.
what's also worth mentioning is that by increasing the voltage you're also increasing the probability of the current jumping and creating an electrical arc with whatever is too close to the prongs...
The fact that these hacks CAN or LITERALLY MAKE people dead is mind-boggling to me. It just goes to show how little Social Media platforms care about the content that is being published.
However, try to upload something political and you are free real estate. "In my opinion you can not become a woman or become a man." -> Bye bye. "Here, let me show you how to risk your life!" -> $_$
Money is power, and always overpowers morality or ethics.
@@NoobsDeSroobs when is that ever happening? you just made that up
Video is for entertainment purposes only - the CZcams get-out-of-jail card. This seems to negate all the bad effects, that stupid people can cause to your video (like saying they got hurt, because they did what you presented as true).
@@NoobsDeSroobs I mean, that's a terrible example because transphobia IS harmful, and you don't get to say "this is just my opinion" when making transphobic comments. Trans people exist and they deserve to live safely in the world, human rights are not something you can debate. Nor are they inherently political, they've only been seen as such because people like you think any identity which isn't a cishet white man is "political". A better example would be that YT creators aren't allowed to swear, and if they do, they risk at least demonetisation. Swearing is something that actually isn't dangerous, unlike transphobia.
A good rule of thumb is that once you’ve started foraging electrical parts from a microwave, it might be a good time to reconsider whatever you’re about to do
Exactly!
I swear, when Ann said they were DIY-ing an old microwave to do electric burns in wood, I had to laugh out of desperation.
I'm scared to use the microwave at home to heat up my meals, I mean... C'mon now
You can make a EMP out of a microwave which can jam phones but only at like a distance of like a foot. I don't think you could jam the White House communication systems with a microwave or nothing like that.
I'm really glad that this comment survived the blocked and releasing YT nonsense
@@maxinecalyptus1639 YES!! I was so happy to see* the notification of your reply 💜
Safety in arts and crafts is a huge issue. Thanks for talking about it!
This reminds me of the epoxy trend that‘s still going strong and also hurt many people. Many more will be hurt by it in the future because sometimes the detrimental effects to their bodies take a while to show.
I have a friend that works for the power company, he told me that they must check their insulated gloves daily by putting an air hose in the glove while holding it in a bucket of water to make sure there are no holes in them.
One tiny hole as in pinhole sized can allow electricity to pass through and kill the person.
The fact CZcams banned this video but not a single one of the thousands of dangerous hack videos really speaks volumes about what they value the most.
Thank you for standing strong and for doing what you do, Ann!
I genuinely don't understand why they would have done what they did (apart from the obvious part that likely no humans were involved in the decision-making). It makes them look like idiots, and doesn't even appease corporate interests (like demonitizing videos critiquing music).
how do you know they didn't ban any?
It really says it all!
@@Laittth we can't be entirely sure of course. But after they banned this video, there were still thousands of tutorials and video's left on youtube
@@thelionofgod I think, rule of thumb is, unfortunately, if they don't care enough it's because no matter what happens they have their backs covered by laws/lawyers so they can continue generating money over viral trends while not being liable for any harm or deaths the videos may cause.
Really sounds dystopic.
If you told me ten years ago that the revolution against deadly hacks would be led by the soft-spoken chef who runs the most wholesome baking channel on the platform, I don't know if I would have believed you.
I'm so glad this is how it turned out, though. Ann, you're an inspiration to me. "Make it a great week by being kind to others" is legitimately one of my daily mantras now. ❤

That's a wonderful way of describing Ann

i also love that quote
Can you PLEASE release a supercut videos of all Dave's reactions after you've made him eat whatever crazy nonsense is sent his way? That would be absolutely glorious.
Yes bless him!
Just leaving a comment to make sure this video is seen by as many people as possible. It's incredible that people trying to prevent injury and danger get strikes and bans while dangerous content is promoted
My dad is an electrical engineer and was absolutely horrified when he heard about this trend. He says thank you for making this video and spreading common sense!
Spreading common sense 🤣🤣
My dad's also an electrical engineer! I'll have to tell him about this and see what he thinks
I'm also a child of an electrical engineer father. The first time i saw fractal wood burning i was HORRIFIED, but assumed no one would bother to try it. It's really scary to hear so many people haven't understood the danger and are trying it. This video is going to save lives
@@emilyc8958 Some people just aren't properly terrified of lightning. That shit is scary.
@@MsLilly200 I instantly become a frightened little child when I'm out and about and a lightning storm begins. Lightning freaks me out more than hearing strange noises in the house in the middle of the night. I'm more afraid to die from lightning than things that would more realistically kill me (such as driving in my car recklessly), but it's such an extreme weather event that I can't help but be mortified by it.
Hearing that fractal wood burning is dangerous is one thing, but knowing multiple electricians have died trying really makes it clear how absurdly dangerous it is. I guess there's a lot more opportunity for mistakes with that than one would expect. Thanks for letting us know!
Exactly. So much things can go wrong it is hard even for a professional to foreshadow them all. Also, setting 2 kV loose through wet wood is a very different thing to fixing broken wall socket in peoples house. So, ordinary electricians are simply not qualified enough for messing with wood burning.
@@voidseeker4394 yes this is very true. these electricians thought they were an expert (which they were at fixing broken sockets etc). but it makes them underestimate the risks bc they were thinking "oh i deal with this everyday, i should be fine"
Yeah, stuff like this is one of those areas where a little knowledge can actually be more dangerous than none. It does not surprise me in the least that (home) electricians have been hurt by this. They tend to be very well versed in the safety issues of house current, to the point it becomes habbit. But unless they have worked in higher powered domains like some kind of industrial work, they have learned the wrong safety measures and it can provide a false sense of security.
So would a lineman suit make it safe? (Metalic looking suit the size of bomb disposal suits) though at that cost you might have access to equipment to give the look in a much safer manner.
Being an electrician does not equal being a GOOD electrician. Sometimes, working with something and not dying for long enough can cause a person to lose respect for the danger it represents. Most likely these folks thought "I'm a professional. I don't need to worry." And proceeded to work carelessly. The main takeaway needs to be: This is deadly dangerous, even if you take all the necessary precautions.
The fractal wood burning is extremely important and I'm glad you talked about - but I also want to bring up the bravery of Steve in trying the kind of unappetizing tea jello
I've seen this video linked on tumblr twice now in a short time, the first time it was commented under a fractal wood burning video that had been posted without a word on safety. Now that I saw the link a second time, I came and watched it and christ it's so much worse than I imagined. Commenting to keep the algorithm bringing this one up because you're genuinely saving lives here. Thank you for your work ❤
It's unbelievable that CZcams would ban a warning video that explains the deadliness of a hack. Shame on them, and good for you for fighting for the truth to be told.
If I were a liability lawyer and I heard about that action, I'm not sure I'd be able to stop salivating. How can YT spin that as anything other than extremely-strong evidence that they're both aware of the danger these videos *that they are profiting from* hold, and that they're attempting to cover it up, further endangering the public to protect their ill-gotten profits?
Yet another example of why our modern age of oligarchic hyper-corp monopolization, especially in the tech sector, is bad for everyone, including the owners of the monopoly itself. I can't imagine those invested in CZcams are aware of the extreme liability to which the malfeasance and incompetence of YT's management is exposing them, but they may well find out the hard way.
@@michaelccozens christ dude you popped off, 👑
I have a feeling that the title was read and then misunderstood as a promotion & not a warning because of the lack of context, the actual video..
YT should definitely be sued and taking the blame for these deaths. ESPECIALLY if they purposely BAN the videos that warn about the severity of the hack!!!
Well that's a perfect exhibit of Streissand effect
As a high school teacher I often use your videos for an "easy lesson" but this one shook me, I will be making sure my students understand this danger and am so glad you are out here fighting the good fight against misinformation
Thank you - I was just thinking that these would be a great educational tool. Even though my kids are grown up now, I often send them links to Ann's videos.
Oh wonderful!
First of all - your one lazy teacher, second - there those things called copyrights you are breaking.
They have the right to share informational videos to their students. There is nothing lazy or illegal about it.
@@cilastar5169 lets see you do better? go touch grass... your reality is way too twisted.
also, you're*
learn grammar, maybe be lazy and watch some educational videos on it
Commenting to bump a year later. No joking, I only learned about this technique from a random Facebook reel about an hour ago and thought it looked AWESOME. Opened CZcams 15 minutes ago and your video was suggested. Had no idea it was about the same craft technique and had an actual “oh crap” moment you started talking about it.
Not glad the internet is creepily watching my every move and making judgements about my interests, but glad it showed me your video before I showed the one from Facebook to my wood-turning step-grandpa. Thanks for potentially keeping us from doing something stupid.
CZcams need to be hold accountable for this.
Usually youtube got problem from its creator and they don't really promote it.
This one is different, youtube blatantly lying or promote lies.
The problem is if you have only an average person’s knowledge of electricity, you don’t know if it’s dangerous. That means CZcams would need to have experts in EVERYTHING checking EVERY video, which is impossible unless you only want it to add a few dozen videos every day instead of millions.
Electrician here, ya absolutely don’t do this. Even if you’re like me we all know how stupid this is unless you work in an extreme control i environment (which most of you are not no matter how nice your personal workshop is) BE SAFE
Yeah, you would have to build an expensive setup to do this safely, and most people aren’t patient/knowledgeable/rich enough to do that.
There are better and safer woodburning techniques. Solid-point burners are similar to soldering irons. Wire nibs use a current to heat the wire, but only 120V.
Was wondering in theory and not going to try and dont advise but I was thinking wouldn't a car battery do as I know the cables ends spark if touched together or there probably isn't enough voltage

@@Panda-od9uj a quick Google search found me someone who does fractal burning with a car battery. Someone on pinterest. Not sure how much more I want to look into this one, so I'll just put possible.
I swear, Ann is the mum of CZcams. She teaches us cool recipes, watches out for us and tells us about all the scams and lies and even keeps us safe by sharing genuine information for our safety.
That rings so true! She is the mom of CZcams we all need.
THANKS MOM! (Note, you’re (Ann) about ten years younger than me and live 7,744 miles away).

True dat
Excellent video! These are the genuine life hacks!
As an experienced electrician; I've messed with a lot of electricity, but I'll never touch anything un-bonded from safety precautions. Even if I'm dressed like a lineman.
All the effort put in is working! I watch woodworking videos but had never heard of fractal wood burning. This video was suggested to me and was how I learned about the process. You are beating the hack videos! You do amazing work keeping people safe.
I need to share my experience because I'm someone whose lost someone directly to this "hack".
in August 2019, my Dad was learning how to do this with his son-in-law, his son-in-law stepped away to go inside and left my dad to clean up everything. My dad was making a beautiful piece for his wife to surprise her for Christmas.
When he went inside, my dad was left in the garage with all the wires and stuff used to create this. Something malfunctioned and he ended up getting electrocuted. He was gone before he hit the ground, and in that instant everything changed. Please DO NOT TRY THIS. EVEN IF YOU THINK IT LOOKS EASY, PLEASE. I LOST THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN MY LIFE TO THIS STUPID CRAFT. Dozens of people have died trying this in Canada as well, and it's not talked about enough. A craft is not worth your life, please even if you think you're confident; DON'T DO IT.
My condolences. Thank you for sharing your story. It's important that people can read real-life examples of the dangers of this "hack".
Thank you for sharing your heartbreaking story 😭
I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you for sharing this. Many blessings to you and your loved ones.
I can't imagine losing a young parent, much less for something that seemed so harmless. Just wanted to make a gift. :( I am so SO sorry.
It’s still mind-blowing to me that we’ve seen CZcams has the power to censor and/or take down videos entirely, but do nothing to stop these videos that promote literal life-threatening ‘hacks.’
Views -> view count -> advertising revenue -> income for the platform -> forgiveness -> implicitly, no matter how bad they are, as long as they're getting lots of views whatever they're doing to generate those views is considered acceptable. It's only spam if nobody clicks it.
I know right? God forbid you show a bare bum or use a naughty word but doing a deadly art or cooking hack? Be YT's guest.
mainly because the channel uses the excuse that they're "satire"
I know, it's horrifying. So long as it gets views, they don't really care.
CZcams had some animal torture on it's platform and after a lot of people made noise they were removed. But say something about anything serious and it closes a channel down. I hate this site but the creators are on here...
Fascinating. I studied reverse combustion for my PhD dissertation back in the 1980's, which is an analogous phenomena used to increase permeability of coal seams, prior to underground coal gasification. Instead of high voltage, I used high pressure injection of air through a coal sample. I used the experiments to snag the high pressure lab built into the Univiersity of Colorado Chemical Engineering lab's SE corner.
I must say thank you, to you. I was thinking of doing that and already have an old microwave to use. You have saved lives. Keep up the good work, and truly, thank you.
It's crazy to me that CZcams would ban a warning against a lethal act yet leave the videos encouraging such a thing up. Messing with a microwave transformer alone is extremely dangerous as is but to rig it up purely to do this is insane. You're work to speak out against this is so heroic saving lives and bringing awareness to people! Nothing but the deepest and most sincere respect for you and your channel.
I think CZcams actively tries to promote it to get more views, like conspiracies, to generate $$
I am so happy you posted this! My husband was going to try this. I couldn't talk him out of it. I got him to watch this video and he FINALLY understands how dangerous it is.
Think you just saved your husband’s life, well done
My boyfriend also gets sucked into this kind of stuff, it can be SO hard to pull him out of it! Glad your husband was open to watching this video!
How to get to heaven
I still stand by it. Regular wood burning art is the best. These fractals do look pretty, but is it worth risking your life?
My sister does wood burning the healthy way. With an actual wood burning set, a lovely piece of wood she very carefully selects, knowing what she wants to burn onto it, and artistic skill. (she also does bridal henna and has a very steady hand, I'm so proud of her)
Fractal wood burning isn't art, it's a mad scientific experiment.
Men are idio†s. This is why women outlive them.
I always wanted to try the wood burning craft......and to try it *WITH MY KIDS!!* what the heck?! I had no idea it could be so so deadly!
Like how you didn't know it's dangerous?
Wood burning is not the same as fractal wood burning. You and your kids can draw on wood with a wood burning tool. Fractal wood burning is pumping dangerous amounts of electricity through wood to get those tree like patterns
Pyrography is a totally different ball game to what is being shown here.
Then this video is already potentially saved lives!
3:10 that's why (as an artist) I hate repost pages of any kind, they're just taking your work and most of the time they don't even credit you
I typed "fract" into the youtube search bar, what comes up for me now is "fractal wood burning accident", no fractal wood burning without accident either! PROGRESS! Well done Ann!
This is excellent news!
👏
I also want to point out that even getting the microwave transformer from an old microwave is highly dangerous. Inside of modern microwaves,(even if its been disconnected from power for months and sometimes years) there is still a HV capacitor that holds charge for a long time. If you touch the wrong thing in a microwave even if its disconnected, you can still die; the capacitor can hold charge for years and still deliver enough power to stop your heart. TLDR; do not mess with microwaves unless you have electrical engineering experience.
This comment needs to be higher up, so many devices have a capacitor that can give you a shock.
Luckily for me my "learnt it the hard way" was just with a disposable camera (I worked in a photo lab) and while I always removed the battery before doing battle with the casing for the actual film, the flash had apparently been charged and I got enough of a shock to make me yelp (which is unusual for me with pain), burn my finger and have extreme hair frizz (which made the whole thing look cartoonish, but it was no joke). Luckily my finger healed (got first aid burn treatment straight on it), but that capacitor had only charged from a single AAA battery! I dread to think what the capacitor in anything that plugs into the mains could do.
Seriously people, don't mess with electrical equipment, EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT ATTACHED TO A POWER SORCE!
This. Theres a reason why you are taught real early how to safely handle and discharge those components when you are getting properly trained.
yup! microwaves are DEATH BOXES, and should be treated as such. 2kv at pretty high current is not a joke too. HV capacitors, high voltage and current transformers, and the scary magnetron (that could even have a beryllium ceramic ring on it that is highly dangerous/carcinogenic), all around not worth it for some dumb stuff, if you need HV just get a proper supply like a neon transformer that has more safety features
@@CharleyU unless it comes from China, many devices include a discharge resistor, which empty these caps in seconds.
The capacitor doesn't care what's the power source, mains or AAA battery, what it delivers is expressed in Joules and this is what determines the shock you'll receive.
Plus, there is a high voltage transformer (it's switch mode) into cameras that step up the voltage from a pair of 1.5v batteries (or more) to 320v.
So I checked the specs of a random microwave, the capacitor is 1.07uF and the voltage is 2400v , so that's 3.08 Joules.
A Flash capacitor depends on the camera, but I found 220uF being used in one, at 320v that's 11.264 Joules.
Which means the capacitor in the flash camera stores more energy than the capacitor in the microwave.
No, the capacitor will not hold a significant charge for years. Months maybe. And it's pretty simple to discharge it.
Channel name: how to cook that
Content: 34 people dying from lethal electrocution
video: makes homemade milk jelly
I beleive you are making a comment as a side look at "cooking people". There was a movie about aliens coming to earth to take people to their planet where they will be taught advanced sciences. The book the leader carries translates as "How to Cook Humans". I wonder if the science they have includes recipes.
@@cmmc3400you’re thinking of the Twilight Zone episode, “To Serve Man” - a classic, my dad often quoted it
@@oks39802 YEAH! That's it!!! My favorite show as a kid.
Styropyro made me aware of the dangers of microwave transformer and once you said that word I gasp a oh gosh ... I know my way around electricity and electronic and the that kind of power still frighten me enough to not even want to open a microwave. You've forgotten to properly discharge the capacitor your screwdriver slip while dismantling it and you're dead. You brush a contact you're dead, you look at it sideways you're injured ... or dead.
What's more frustrating : it's harder to get into a recent phone which is pretty much harmless unless you plant a nail in the battery than getting inside a microwave ... go figure.
As someone who's studying electrical engineering, this hack scares the daylights out of me. Thank you, Ann, for informing us about these kind of things.
Was that pun intended?
Due to my job I got shocked with I think it was 180 v and that scared the heck out of me. I thought I was going to be burnt. I hope people don’t take this lightly
Same viewing this as a physicist.
Big Clive has a great video about it. He doesn't just completely scare the daylights out of you, although he does do that, he actually explains a much safer way to achieve a very similar effect.
H2CT's video has over six hundred thousand views. I would not be surprised if there's at least one person that watched it and thought "But still, I'm smart enough to do it". With Big Clive's version, maybe they could do it.
Yeah, physics student here, I can wholeheartedly agree.
The fact that anyone would consider this safe or in any way palatable is absolutely insane.
I like how it's evolved from just a cooking channel to exploring all the facets of these "hacks"
Just saw fractal burning pop up on my twitter feed again, so commenting to boost this video in the algorithm
Ann has my utmost respect. She calls out CZcams for its harmful practices in promoting deadly content, risking another strike on her channel in hopes of saving another life. Actual legend.
YES!
Very much agreed 💯
I can't believe she read the terms and conditions. That's a true show of strength (and stamina!)
Yes!!! Legend.
My son just came home from his first day of school and asked me to send this video to his wood shop teacher. His teacher was going through the year's plans and told the class they are going to do fractal wood burning later this year.
Thank you so much for making this video and for getting it back up on you tube. You may have just saved many high schoolers lives! I can't imagine what would have happened had we not watched this video and what would have happened had we not been able to share it with my son's teacher today.
I can see maybe a college course teaching this to specialized art students, but not high schoolers! D:
I cannot imagine the horror you and your child must have felt when you were told that his teacher was planning on having him do something so incredibly dangerous.
You would think a teacher would do a lot more research just to be sure something like this was actually safe, or at least as safe as operating a table saw or belt sander.
The fact your son has more sense than his woodworking teacher says a lot. You'd think someone who's profession is to teach wood crafts would know the serious dangers of fractal wood burning. So glad you were able to get this video to them before the idea went any further
I doubt the teacher would be using a microwave transformer.
@@hektorm2306 Even if they weren't, you still need an equivalent power source to do this. It's still just as dangerous.
I cannot believe the lack of safety in those wood burning setups. My dad had a phrase, "a little knowledge is very dangerous".
Im sharing this video to warn others who have thought about doing fractal wood burning.
I said it before and I'll say it again: the mere fact that there is no action taken against things that could result in something to this degree of harm is either alarmingly misinformed or horrifically callous. Now the mere fact that they went after something that tried to do good? Wow, words cannot express the gall.
I really think it's time for another campaign targeting advertisers. If the advertisers know the public is frowning on their ads playing on dangerous videos, they'll pull their ads, and put pressure on youtube to change the way they monitor content. It's already happened once, so we've seen advertisers speak louder than users according to youtube. It might be time for a twitter campaign to let advertisers know their ads are running on dangerous content vids and people aren't happy.
@@mcreena much as that might end poorly for creators, it does feel like hitting Alphabet in the money really is the only way to make them pay attention. I'm honestly just surprised that these kinds of "life hack" vids have been a problem for so many years. It's disgusting
One of the things they don't tell you and that you didn't mention is that you don't actually have to touch this to be electrocuted.
In the example at 11:50, you'll see him lift the electrodes off the wood and an arc continues between the electrodes. Well if your hands or legs or anything are closer to the electrodes than the wood is, that arc will redirect itself to the path of least resistance (i.e. you). Especially if you're using alligator clips and your fingers are a centimeter from the exposed metal, when that arc breaks, it can easily just whip around and attach to both of your hands.
I would bet that most of these people who died never touched any part of the metal or wood. They pulled up an electrode and the arc connected to their body.
If you want an idea of something closer to what you're dealing with than mains voltage, just look at any of the "electrical substation disconnecting" videos on CZcams. There's a reason no one is anywhere near those things when they disconnect.
Just for numbers, it takes about 30,000 volts per centimeter to *start* an arc, but only about 30 volts per centimeter to maintain an arc. US mains voltage will maintain an arc of about 4cm, UK/AU mains voltage will maintain an arc of about 8cm but the voltage from a microwave transformer can maintain at least a half meter arc. Your circuit breakers will disconnect just from the power requirements, but not right away and the damage will already be done.
wow...this is such important information that many people wouldn't even think of
+
Straight up. Anything dealing with high voltage isn't worth it unless you're willing to devote lots of time and money to make it safe. I'd only ever stumbled across one video of fractal woodburning and the person who did it had an entire room devoted to it and went into another room to turn on and turn off the power. I thought that was how everyone did it! To see someone just holding alligator clamps with their bare hands blew my mind! WTH!

Thanks for posting this!!! Had no idea about the dangers of the fractal wood burning thing
Glad to help!
I'm so glad that you decided to make this video (and its 'brother' when CZcams decided to ban this one: very tactical move)!
I honestly admire how you take ACTION against this stuff. Your channel is great and you are a really REALLY good person. And while I'm appalled by those dangerous hack videos, the policies (or lack of them) surrounding them, how CZcams treated your video...I love that you, a single good person are able to make such a big difference. Please keep going ❤
We all know the CZcams algorithm sucks and punishes small content creators while supporting content farms, but the fact that they blatantly allow incredibly dangerous hacks *and* tried to punish Ann for speaking out against them is horrific. There really needs to be some sort of investigation into their practices; this is getting ridiculous.
Replying for the algorithm!!
@@cursedkaleidoscope Replying for the algorithm as well!
I’m telling my mom to not do this. She’s super interested in wood projects and I saw her watch one of those videos. I knew they were dangerous, but I didn’t know how much danger it was!! Thank you for making this video!!!
The amount of comments I read about people thinking about doing it and then reconsidering are quite worrying. Imagine all the other life threatening hacks out there that aren't covered...
Glad you could catch your mom before she went through with anything. Should try to share with as much people as you can cause these comments have taught me you never know who's interested or not.
Thank goodness!
Good
Microwave transformers are the no 1 cause of death among electronic enthusiasts
It's not something to play around with.
There is s safe ish way of doing this without the microwave transformer but it's pretty much impossible if you don't have a lot of knowledge about electronics already
There are now more vids coming up that show how dangerous this is....so Ann will be pleased to see those. ( she is not ego driven about this! ). There are at least two that I have seen that promise "safer" ways to do it,..... I don't know how accurate they are.....
There are creative people out there: I can only suggest try painting, wood carving, there are heaps more ways to make lovely objects. Building things from papier mache or clay, or that no kiln needed clays. Encourage your loved people in other directions.
Just the other week I saw an art Instagram page featuring videos of fractal wood burning, no warnings or anything. Rewatching your video to hopefully get it recommended to more people on youtube.
About meat and toasters. There are actually specifically designed 'toasters' build for cooking meat.
The Ronco Ready Grill is effectively a toaster with a drip pan and a basket loading system with a conventional 'minute' timer. I swear by mine and will often use it to make sausages and other meat when I'm feeling lazy.
Remember trained electricians have accidents and deaths doing their jobs when they have all sorts of safety protocols and equipment in place. Imagine the risks doing this in your garage with no fail safes or protective gear whatsoever! Thank you for bringing attention to this!
Yes, well said!
And to any electricians reading this: this is _much_ higher voltage than you’re trained to work on, and the current is still high enough to kill. Your usual precautions are not sufficient.
Too true. My mum's cousin was a proficient electrician in his 40's when he died on the job.
As an electrician, I am so happy with how thorough and easy to understand your explanation of the transformer and the dangers of electricity are! Very well put together (as always).
Also, thank you for calling out electricians and passing along a warning for us to not try this dangerous activity as well! ❤️ It is not something anyone should be playing with, especially with such a small margin for (fatal) error.
I don't understand why people don't just get some of those pictures (of the woodburns) and get a thick marker and a woodburning-apparatus and then costumize their own 'lightning' patterns and burn it on there.
I mean sure, heckload of work, but you'll be able to make it exactly the way you want and I bet there's a way to press/burn it quicker with wire or something, without using electricity, just heat.
And if you don't have a woodburner, you use paint.
I mean, apart from being able to brag to guests that you did this with electricity (and you can't impress the guests on your funeral) then that pattern would be just as impressive when made without electricity.
@@Widdekuu91 The pencil-like thing?
@@star9710 Yes, indeed!
Seriously, I was quite impressed.
@@Widdekuu91 I don't see the point, like what even are they doing with the wood? Cause wood burning at least makes fun designs
This is a great video. One thing that probably should have been mentioned though is that the danger of this hack starts even before the fractal machine is built. Disassembling a microwave can be deadly in and of itself because microwaves contain very powerful capacitors that can also deliver a deadly shock if not discharged correctly. The capacitors can store enough electricity to be deadly for quite some time, even if the microwave is not plugged in.
This comment needs more appreciation!
I want to thank you for making this video as well as many of the other videos warning people against these hacks, hobbies, etc. I appreciate you & your channel so much!
Never heard of fractal wood burning before, but as soon as I heard "using parts from a microwave" I INSTANTLY knew this was unimaginably dangerous. You do not mess with microwave components if you value your life.
you are a liar and fake. go back to where you came from!
@C GI yeah, I’ve always understood the one device you never open to fix, even if you’re an expert, is the microwave.
Can’t believe some selfish pricks are telling people to open them up for some clicks…
that’s what i also thought. this might sound insensitive but you gotta be pretty stupid to do such a thing.
I have a lot of experience with electrical devices, and the words 'parts of a microwave' are a massive 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩for me. I've had 240v shocks, and a friend of mine had a cross phase 415v, but that's quite enough for anyone, I can tell you.
@@archivist17 there’s a quote somewhere that’s great, i can’t remember it, but i’ll try to paraphrase it beat i can…
you can get shocked many times in your life from working on cars, computers, small electronics….
but you only get shocked once in your life by a microwave.
not as beautifully and poetically safe as the original, but you get the point- microwave shocks are not very survivable.
So sad to see that the old comments disappeared...but so happy to see the video back up again at least. Thank you so much for spreading awareness Ann, I'm sure this will save countless more lives. You and your channel are truly special, not only to me, but millions of people. Bless you.

I'm surprised they can't reinstate the original comments. Surely CZcams has them stored somewhere? It's like censorship in George Orwell's 1984 or animal farm
Yeah, comments before the temp ban probably contained other important info concerning this topic.
Hi Ann! I had to come back and watch your video as there's a YT Short about fractal burning that's trending now. I couldn't believe it. It's only been a year and that video has gotten more than 10 million views during Christmas. They warn us in the title not to do it.. Because that always works! I truly hope I'm not the only one reporting them to YT. I don't want to leave a link, but I'm hoping more people will report them before someone hurt themselves. They even say in the title it's the "best way to win a Darwin Award" and still thought it was a good idea to upload. I'm disheartened humanity's attention span is this short.
Bless Ann, she's the most honest youtuber I know.
Keep up the good work!
Artist here: The most tragic part of the fractal burn hack is that you can get the same aesthetic look with a print technique using no electricity or burning at all. Physics is universal, and because of physics, lots of things will produce that kind of fractal pattern.
The technique I'm talking about is called dendritic monoprint. You take a moderately thick paint or printing ink and squish it between two non-porous surfaces, then pry the surfaces apart. The combination of the viscosity of the paint or ink and the air reentering the space as the surfaces are pulled apart produces the dendritic, or branching, pattern, which is identical to the fractal pattern produced by the electricity.
Next step in the printing process is to transfer the dendritic pattern. The two surfaces now have mirror images of the dendritic pattern. You lay your paper over them, and pick up the pattern. Print done. Dry it. Sign it. Sell it. There is nothing at all to stop a person using this print technique on wood. Granted, it's not as exciting as commanding the power of lightning, but at least they'll get to live to enjoy their work.
I was wondering if there was a safer way to get a similar effect. Thank you!!
@@majmak9604 Naturally, you can find lots of how-tos on CZcams, and they are way safer. Just search for "dendritic printing" and be prepared to play and experiment.
As a baker, I've always noticed this pattern specifically on my rubber spatula after being submerged in something like crisco/softened butter (any fat). Weird how physics works 😅
I don't know about you, but I don't care to pay money for some paint that's been smooshed onto wood, requiring only the talents of a vaguely dextrous child. I'm forking out my money for the gnarly wood that's been etched by frickin' lightning, requiring specialised equipment and advanced skill to avoid frying the technician/artist.
@@michaelheliotis5279 I think I rather not pay people to do unnecessarily fatal techniques for art, for an effect that can be done safely
This is what CZcams needs: Science and someone to hold those people accountable who perpetuate harmful ideas! I’m so glad it was reinstated. You deserve all the views, Ann.
And a better review system but if they actually did that it would hurt their bottom line
Yup, absolutely agree
Especially with the better review content
Who needs a "cook your steak in a toaster" hack? Cook it on a frying pan like everyone else!!!
Just me? 🤷♀
As an electrician I can confirm that we sometimes get too comfortable with electricity. When we lose that base fear that keeps us careful, it's time for the electrician to retire.
By the way, doing fractal wood burning you need an electrical hot work suit, boots, and gloves that are rated for the voltage; a properly cordoned off area; protections to keep the liquids around the work piece and not dripping on the floor; an emergency shutoff for the equipment; and something that would insulate the rescuer when they knock the cables away from you. Keep in mind that this is likely not all the steps you'll need to be safe. I cannot stress hard enough how danderous the electricity is in fractal wood burning.
If only the algorithm would favor content like this instead of the dangerous garbage you're talking about. You're wonderful, please keep it up.
I found videos like the one described on Facebook as they are pushing the worst video channels there such as AmoMama, Dhar Mann and Five Minute Crafts.
The algorithm wants to exterminate the human race.
Yeah, but it values views over peoples lives
youtube is like... you said a word 2 people in the world might find offensive? we have now scrubbed your entire existence from the internet. youre making videos that have directly led to the deaths of a significant number of people? yeah thats front page material we will repost this for you.
Agreed fully
It definitely feels like the dodging of responsibility that they do by claiming "it's not our video, we're just the place where it's hosted" no longer applies when they're the ones posting the video to other places.
Meanwhile, if you have a gun or drugs in your home, one will be arrested even though it is "just the place where it's hosted"...
Yeah I think that they'd struggle to make that defence hold up in a courtroom if they've uploaded it to the official CZcams Facebook page.
@@milomhoek I don't really think that's a very good comparison. The point of CZcams's "we're just the hosts" protection is that thousands of hours of video are uploaded every day and it would be absolutely impossible to vet it all. Meanwhile, if you have drugs or a gun in your house, you probably would (or at least should) have knowledge of it. Unless your house is so massive that it's genuinely impossible to visit all the rooms regularly, I guess (but if you're that rich, I'm sure you can afford some pretty powerful lawyers to defend you).
Come now, CZcams doesn't have time to vet the content they're stealing from their creators! The breakfast video clearly shows that it worked and didn't cause any fires, so it must be fine! 🤦♀️ It's really infuriating how little responsibility they take. At least we have Ann!
I'm so very glad that this comment survived the blocked and releasing YT nonsense
Saw this video and knew nothing about fractal wood burning and was horrified.
Videos like this can and HAVE saved lives, thank you for spreading awareness
The tea jelly concoction in that video definitely has gelatin in it and is definitely more water than milk, probably about half with the tea steeped in to to get the colour and the rest milk to make it milky.
As a child our annual April Fools joke was to replace dad's morning cup of tea with a cup of tea "jelly" (tea + a couple of teaspoons gelatin powder in the fridge the nught before) set in the same cup he liked to use. He would pretend to be surprised as if he didn't notice the cup with switched in was straight out of the fridge instead of piping hot. I've seen more tea "jellies" than any person reasonably should, and that's definitely tea jelly.

You need to watch at least half the video for it to count but also you want to make sure you’re watching until the end to make sure the drop off rate doesn’t get too high
Not all heroes wear capes… sometimes they just own baking channels that publish life saving videos… love you for this Ann!! ❤️
I was thinking the same thing! Ann Reardon, saving one life at a time! 😁
Ann is truly a hero. Keep making amazing videos Ann
it would be better to allow natural selection.
I'm so glad that this comment survived the blocked and releasing YT nonsense
I've watched a few of your videos now, but this one's convinced me to subscribe. Thank you so much for giving us the safety warnings CZcams should but doesn't.
Glad to say I found this video on CZcams's homepage. I have no idea why it was recommended to me as I only occasionally watch craft videos, and never baking videos, but I'm very glad to have seen it. I'm not particularly handy, and I understand electricity just enough to know I don't understand it at all, so I'm highly confident I didn't _need_ to see this. However, I'm very glad to have seen it, and very glad that it's appearing on people homepages.
I showed that fractal wood burning to my husband because I thought it was interesting. Another danger he pointed out is depending on the wood, you don’t know if the wood has been treated with anything, the fumes are very bad for you. He was electrocuted on a work site years ago and it took over a year for him to recover and still has nerve damage. Since then, he’s had so many medical problems.
Thank you for your comment. It's a sobering thought, and iffy tie-ins 'somewhere' don't help. Also, there may be after-effects just like surgeon's lung (tissue cautery generates latent issues).
I wish you both best
I don’t know about anyone else, but if I see videos that show, or promote dangerous acts, I’m not above reporting them, it is also up to the rest of the community to not let people post content that could misinform in such a way it can cause bodily harm or death, we have to look out for each other.
Thank god you still have a husband. I hope that he makes a recovery soon.
omg isn't it crazy how people are so used to having microwaves, they forget it's a literal deathbox. ANY hack or DIY that involves taking apart a microwave has to be banned
Literally, like how do people even go „oh imma take apart my microwave for this no problem“ ??? Hello??
I agree
Maybe it’s because many children are taught that “microwave is a box where you put your food and press a button to heat it”, and not the actual working principles of a microwave (that it has dangerous components inside, etc). Heck, many parents don’t even know this themselves, so the risk is transferred from generation to generation. We need more explicit PSAs on microwaves, bleach, and all the other common household products which have any element of danger on them. Because sadly many people forget or are unaware that something being mundane doesn’t mean it’s harmless.
@@jeremiahsmith916 I'm definitely going to teach my future children the inner workings of electrical things as well as other dangerous things and why it's dangerous so they understand what not to do.
There are a lot of very responsibly made videos that use the same parts. The key difference is they come from dry and scientific channels, not cool hacks videos. That being said, dangerous disregard for safety should be banned in any DIY video.
Leaving a comment to help the algorithm! The “using creators’ content without paying them” thing is so frustrating, especially since this platform is infamous for having a horrible copyright strike system. Rooting for you Ann!
Good to see this is back up. Thank you for always giving so much good information
