At least link the video that was the target of takedown “request”. I guess this is the one: https://youtu.be/bXZG-kzlhPY
Thunderfoot videos are so annoying. They are way longer than they need to be and he can get really annoying… but this company didn’t invent this and it is stupid. There was something released in I think 2014 called a SmartCara. It does the same exact thing. I got one at an auction for $3 in 2015. Nobody bought them because they were stupid. They grind up food and dry it out. Thats it. You can add it to plants and stuff and it will compost but it’s a lot easier to get something like a plant food thing you push into the soil. A lot cheaper too.
Not sure if he talks about that in the video…I don’t want to watch his video on it because he is just going to say the same thing over and over again for 30 minutes.
Damn that Thunderfoot guy is frustrating. Interesting content but could have conveyed it in half the time. Only thing he was missing is the overuse of that stupid baa ba ba baaaaaa horn sound effect that DJs use.
So obviously the DMCA takedown is some absolute dumbass shit. But this guy is either not super scientifically literate or willing to bet you aren’t.
“there is nothing about carbon dioxide levels per kilo” while he goes right by the chart with CO2 and NH3 probe readings for different types of compost. Obviously you need to know what the meter readings mean to get a quantitative understanding of how much CO2 and NH3, but he didn’t criticize the chart for not being well explained (and it actually might have been explained in one of the links) he criticized it for not saying anything about it.
And I can’t believe I have to say this but evaporation is not boiling. And desiccation is not boiling. And heating is not boiling. And water is not food waste. You can’t compare the thermodynamics of tap water to food waste and act like they are the same in your calculations. If they tried to boil the food waste the boiling point would likely be higher. And it’s composting. I seriously doubt they use boiling temperatures because that would kill the bacteria needed to compost!
You can’t just say the word thermodynamics and wave your hands and assume you’re scientifically accurate.
In short, shitty, pointless DMCA, shitty run of the mill composting fad device, but also shitty video with shitty science.
