Poll of the Day > Today I found: Youtube video of a guy making a knife out of pasta.

(+) Yeah! (+)

It is far better at being a knife then it has any right being.

Since it IS pasta, I guess I could also say its an incredibly awesome cooking video?

He doesn't limit himself to pasta either. How about making one out of Jello?

Jello is also something that is far better at being a knife then you would expect.

Oh. He also made one out of smoke. No, I am not joking. He literally made a knife out of smoke.

Does this qualify as witchcraft?

Maybe not. The smoke didn't come from burning witches.

I like those, seen a few of his videos. IIRC the first I saw was wood, which wound up being a really nice looking knife.

He even made one out of rice.

I thought you meant he was making a metal knife out of metal USING pasta

I was like WHOA
---

And making an actual, functional knife out of pasta isn't also woah?

Oh, and he made one out of potato too. Spoilers: Yes, it can cut a potato.

Look up the poop knife

I think that would require a poopsmith.

I love the pasta knife's ending.

Man that's an old school reference.

Well, he didn't make a knife out of grass (yet?), so I can't yell at him to get off my lawn.

if he made pasta out of knives i would be impressed.

you literally used the word literally wrong

I'm not entirely sure about that, but I won't argue the point since, well, I'm not sure.

Well, what he did was basically collect smoke on a surface, scrape it off, and make a knife out of it. But then, at that point you might call it soot rather than smoke, so you could say that the literally is wrong.

...

I wonder. There is that whole thing about how eskimos and how many words they have for snow. I wonder which language has the most different words for "some form of physical thing a fire emits/leaves behind." English has a fair few (to name some, ash, smoke, cinders, soot). Its not like WE don't have more then one word for snow either (sleet, slush, snow, flurry, etc), but we of course don't live it in constantly (or at least, the place of origin for the English language doesn't) and so we only really need enough words to suit our purposes for the ways it matters to us.

Fire tends to be important in just about every culture though, so pinpointing which has the most words for "ash" is a bit harder than just taking surveys of every language that originated in a region that has or is near where permafrost exists.

Some of your examples are similar but actually mean different things. Cinders are different from ash.

Fair enough, but they both refer to remnants left from burning at least.

I mean, in the end many words for snow just refer to differences in how wet it is (to the point of barely being really "snow"), or whether or not its falling or not.

Yes, I indeed found these videos one day from them popping up in recommendations for some reason.

On a side note, did they upgrade the "I'm not interested" system lately? A couple days ago I used it (I had made a habit of doing that to every ____ Theory video I saw to see if youtube would take a hint), and it actually then asked for a select-a-reason, including a "I don't want to see this channel in my recommended videos."
