Practical Engineering’s video on this is also really good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqmOSMAtadc

    Do people really sit down and watch 30 minute videos on this type of crap?

    3 minutes and I MIGHT have wanted to check it out.

        So did you watch the video? Does it take 30 minutes to answer that question?

          If you really want the details on why, then yes

          But it doesn’t seem like you’re the person who is into knowing about why the world is how it is. So I suppose you’ll not want to know

            i think thats a bit of a damning assessment. dude just has a short attention span, doesnt mean you know them well enough to say what “kind” of person they are

          It takes 30 minutes to explore the engineering topic. Its interesting for me

          Do you also complain that the movie Titanic wasn’t 30 seconds long? After all that’s all you need to show the ship.

          Thankfully most media isn’t about addressing the literal title.

      These videos are more than one narrow, they give demonstrations, examples, visit restricted areas and get to touch reallly cool machinery. This isnt a 3 minute speedrun world record stretched to a 45 minute video.

        Even those 3 minute speed runs can be 45 minutes long because they’re explaining all the glitches and tricks they’re using in the run and showing all the nuance you wouldn’t get in just the 3 minute run.

      Do people really sat and watch hours of engineering or cultural content . Well yes autistic people exist and learning things is cool.

      Why would you announce to the world that your attention span is so short and your interests so shallow that you can’t possibly fathom anyone watching a 30-minute video on an interesting topic?

      Were you raised on an iPad?

      I’m glad people can see in 30 minutes a lot of the metallurgical and chemistry techniques I learned in my University days.

      I think TikTok may be more up your alley, though I would not recommend it.

      If it’s entertaining and well presented I could and have watched videos like this that are multiple hours long.

      Also why do you think this is crap?
