Plaguing your posts with incidental music.
Marigolds, at least, are known to repel some garden pests. You should probably just plant some marigolds nearby instead.

I have a hippie friend that does the razor blade in a bowl thing routinely. Every time he sees me using a kitchen knife, he has a freakout about how having "weapons in my house" makes me way more likely to be killed.

I think the idea is you seal and shake the bowl and the razors will dice/embed themselves in the tomato and get stuck but at that point just pour the whole thing onto your salad razor blades and all because you’ve clearly given up on life.

A bowl full of razors sounds more menacing and in practical use is more likely to injure yourself then a kitchen knife. One large blade with a handle, or many tiny blades with no handle that you just jumbled into your food and now have to take them back out. How are scissors less of a weapon than a knife? I have kitchen shears and many knives in my knife block on the kitchen counter. An unarmed murderhobo could enter my house at any time and loot either a knife or the shears and stab me to death with either one. Does your friend put the scissors into a safe when not in use? Is it an irrational fear because in scary movies people use a kitchen knife to make bloods on you'are body? Is it some kind of weird moral/karma thing, that a knife could be made with the intent for use as a weapon? Because all kitchen tools, knives included are not built or intended to be used as weapons. Would a baseball bat also be haram under this rule? Is he an RPG character that cannot equip daggers, blades, or short swords due to class restriction?

So many questions, and yet they are just a tiny drop of water lost in the flood of questions 5 minute craft videos produce.

A "candle" made of unprocessed bacon fat.

Put a toilet bowl on your head so that you can jiggle a plate of sausage and meatballs all over the place on your lap.

Put clear/invisible tape (but labelled in the video as "duct tape") on a fork, so that you can eat yogurt out of a cup.

At some point, the questions stop even being questions. There is no why.

I like questioning knifeless monk guy a lot more than staring into the surrealist consumerism of 5 minute crafts. I don't want to disparage whatever moral code he has created and holds dear, but at least there might be an answer in there somewhere. His kitchen is a place where reason still holds sway. A mystery to unfold.

Watching 5 minute crafts reminds me of this Goya painting.

I assume it's some wild poo poo like if you have "weapons" it draws weapon spiritual energy to you and will make you attract harm causing ghosts or something. So you have to avoid poo poo that he thinks is weapons regardless of the actual lethality of the substitute.

No, I think it’s that statistic that gun owners are more likely to die via firearms than non gun owners.

Possibly not a trend that holds to swapping kitchen knives for bowls full of razor blades, however.

Other than I suppose it might lower your relative chance of dying by knife because you are now much more absolutely likely to die by eating razor blades.

Also, 5 minute crafts is a click bait driven scam to get eyeballs on vids, whether what's on the vids actually work or not. There is an Australian woman who has done some of their "hacks" and most are complete bullshit and done in a content farm in Eastern Europe. She also did some digging and they run a whole slew of similar sites that all exist just to trick people into views.

The baking ones are the weirdest poo poo to me because instead of being super clickbaity they're usually presented as regular recipes, but the info in them is completely wrong. Normal baking process, but the ingredients and quantities are changed to make it not work. Using a real recipe wouldn't make the video less engaging to viewers or more expensive to make, but nah, gently caress it, let's microwave a cup of salted milk for 10 minutes.

Then they'd be just like every other baking video but now they've got one with people passing it around laughing at how wrong they got it.
