The real reason for Uncle Linus's Potato Farm. Not just an April Fools gag, but a journey to grow a potato big enough to hold a gaming pc. S-mashed all the potato puns
I really no wonder if you could set up enough sequence of generating power from them like having an entire 4 lb sack of them set up to provide power, could you then convert to AC and achieve it... To run your potato PC on potatoes...
thatd actually be hilarious, scoop out all the guts and put the water cooling in it too, so you just have a moderately sized pumpkin sitting on your desk with cables coming out of it.
Measuring in pringles was the most random but perfect thing, and the way you said it without breaking as though it's a normal measurement unit was hilarious.
What amazes me is that this is not the April 1 video. From the concept to many aspects of this, it has that April Fool look and feel. And it's just over a month from that occasion.
This should obviously be called "The GamerTater (TM)". The "TM" of course stands for "Tater Masterrace". Oh, and it will unfortunately be in very limited supply in Ireland.
This is definitely in top tier stupidest things done on LTT but I still love it. The #1 stupidest video though was Alex and Riley water-cooling a PC with a sink
12:00 The transition I never knew I needed. Also, can we appreciate the amount of work that went into this video? Yes, it's a fun meme, but there's actual research and time invested into putting a PC into a potato. They did testing, and knew what materials and processes they needed to get it working.

It was hilarious how they talked about Basically Homeless in such hushed tones lol, they wanted the glory of a gaming potato for a decent amount of time.
the fact that the Fallout 4 mini-nuke pc from oh so long ago took so much time and planning to get it to fit and yet this potato that's half that size and hold a pc that's just as powerful with hardly any plan at all is amazing, I love technology
They should put a Le Potato in a potato, powered by potatoes. It would be entertaining to see how many potatoes it would take to power a small low power potential system like an Arduino or le potato after all the AAs ran out. Also, I can’t believe they didn’t have Linus say “and now a word from our spudsor”
I help at a small library and we're waiting around for a computer grant to be approved so we can replace the computers there. The computers that got chosen were these little em680 computers, Its gonna be so cool when that grant gets approved and we get em.
The way Linus used that knife to cut the potato made me scream inside. Not only is he holding it wrong, but he’s also using his thumb to push the knife down. Never change Linus
"you wanna be careful when you get close to the edges sometimes it can kinda just jump and rip some skin off" Linus: I see, off the potato or my hand? uh. Yes I'm dead lol
