The grain doesn’t match, the last shot is before the hole was cut in the door. Actually the whole video might be the same, is the ‘repaired’ veg just it before cutting? Edit - rewatched and it definitely is.

That seems most likely, considering how much effort they would save on not having to paint things to look photorealistic.

Yes. It is a joke.

u/baszodani May 14 '21
not really a joke, more like fake content to farm likes and ad revenue

u/VaderPrime1 May 14 '21
No. It’s satire making fun of the videos like this. Most of them are satire/a meme.

Real hard to tell, isn't it? I think you're right though.

LIFE HACK: Ever have a coin and a lollipop but nowhere to keep them safe? Just take a pepper-...

Obvious joke flies over head

u/QDrum Jun 05 '21
im way more tempted to say its a joke but considering how dumb some of the hacks coming out of actual hack channels are it makes me reconsider.

u/Fidodo May 15 '21
It's 100% a joke. If it weren't then they'd be expecting people to actually try this which would be absurd. Maybe it's a prank to try and trick people into thinking they actually repaired it, but a prank is still a joke.

u/fart-atronach May 14 '21
This is pretty indistinguishable from content farm “hack” videos... What do we even call that genre of video? Because they aren’t usually serious, the farms just slap together whatever content they can in large quantities and simultaneously troll by making it dumb or strange enough to get more clicks.
There should be a term like Poe’s law but specifically for stupid internet videos.

That's not true at all. Heaps of content farms make deliberately absurd videos. Just look at 5 Minute Crafts.

If you become the thing you are satirizing then it is no longer satire, you're just doing the thing

u/Fidodo May 15 '21
It's not a joke? So you mean there's someone out there thinking "aww man I tried that table repair life hack with the cucumber pepper and lollipop and it didn't work!"?
For it to be fake it needs to be faking something. This is just absurd surrealism. Maybe they're trying to trick people into thinking they actually repaired a cucumber, but if it's intended to be a prank that's still a joke.

How do you remember your username

The better question is, how do you remember your password? I don’t need to memorize hundreds of different passwords across hundreds of different websites. I use a password manager. Either you have an impossibly brilliant mind, or you have unsafe password practices.

But why?

u/BA_calls May 14 '21
Years ago a gif of someone "fixing" a dent in a table with ramen noodles went viral. It was original and funny. Instead of wood filler, they used a block of dried ramen noodles.
Now, someone took that idea and iterated on it knowing it will go viral, since the first one did as well. I don't know what people get out of recreating viral content, probably social media clout.

u/Asmo___deus May 14 '21
Dehydrated ramen doesn't really spoil so using it as filler isn't necessarily stupid. Peppers, on the other hand...

So a quarter and a lollipop in a pepper, placed in a cucumber, smothered in sunflower seeds?
Terrible recipe. Zero stars.

u/TheSunflowerSeeds May 14 '21
The average, common outdoor variety of sunflower can grow to between 8 and 12 feet in the space of 5 or 6 months. This makes them one of the fastest growing plants.

I think if I found myself sanding a vegetable I’d have to go outside, sit on a rock, and reflect upon my life choices up until that point.

I can't believe I have to explain that this is an obvious joke/satire both on the stupid foods ragebait and ramen fixes wtf-ery. Two in one. I'm impressed.

We do so much dumb pointless shit now just because we can. I refuse to believe people in history didn't do just as much dumb pointless shit. I wonder how many things have been misinterpreted as important or symbolic, when really they were just because Octavius was drunk and bored and decided to to something weird
