The fact that you include terms like “trans agenda” and “transgenderism” in your post are pretty clear indications that you’re not serious about avoiding rudeness.

Surely replying with the same question over and over will eventually get you the answer you’re hoping for

I’m making an ass of myself assuming that he’s just a known quantity at this point. I should realize that not everyone was alive, watching those channels on TV then, or that corner of YouTube now! He was on Mythbusters, which was a very popular science entertainment show on the discovery channel from 2003-2018, and his livestreams on the Tested YouTube channel since then are pretty popular where he talks about being a “maker” and all that entails - freelancing, skills, tools, jobs, relationships, etc etc etc.

I can’t think of a particular video where he mentioned cardboard+hot glue, he’s mentioned it a few times because he’s not shy about repeating things- he’d rather convey a point than worry that he’s told a story or anecdote before. I mentioned it here because it really stuck with me with its simplicity- along with a thought in the back of my head that I should get a hot glue gun myself one of these days…

I do not, just passing along the concept. I catch his recorded live streams fairly regularly and I know that he’s mentioned cardboard + hot glue on multiple occasions, especially when “how do I get started?” type questions come up.

It’s saying its name!

I can think of anything, but because lots of packaging is cardboard, I’m reminded that Adam Savage has recommended cardboard and hot glue as a way to get into making props and cosplay and such! It’s such a low barrier to entry and really easy to work with, and surprisingly versatile. Even if you plan on using more robust materials in the future, it can be a cheap way to make a proof of concept

Lemmy is a place I prefer to be as anonymous as I can while still participating so I don’t set one for myself and I use voyager the vast majority of the time so I don’t see anyone else’s. I personally don’t find profile pictures/avatars add anything to the experience for me.

I love that Sandy is basically the unofficial mascot of this community

You should probably delete one of these duplicate posts

I could be wrong, but I think they’ve been playing around with their style a bit while still maintaining some identifiable characteristics
