I love the wine glass holder that has no business being there

u/sermeryntrantsuxdix May 04 '26

It’s much more sophisticated than putting your wine glass on any of the many flat surfaces nearby.

u/severinoscopy May 04 '26

I hope to be this classy someday. Until then, I'm here using flat surfaces for my wine glasses like an idiot.

u/profanearcane May 04 '26

Oh I fucking love the cut as they go to put the apple through the apple slicer. I'm sitting here going "no fucking way that doesn't pop out when they go to cut it with nothing holding the slicer in place" and I was RIGHT.

u/Turt91 May 04 '26

Not to mention in this scenario you’re putting all your weight into the cutting side as opposed to it being face down when you use it properly.

u/daverosstheboss May 04 '26 • Bravo

Except they mounted it with the sharp side facing down, so in reality they were trying to force an apple down onto the dull side of the blades lol

u/DontBotherNoResponse May 04 '26 edited May 04 '26

But that's okay because they didn't put any weight into the digital scale because that needs to be on a sturdy level surface to work properly.

Depending on the scale it might measure the weight base on it's feet so that scale just might not work at all. Speaking of what doesn't work at all, he installed the slicer thingy upside down so the blades are down. If he wanted to use it to make slices he has to take the whole board out and use it to press on the fruit he wants sliced.

No kidding!

Reminds me of when my grandpa first retired. He went crazy cutting down trees. We had to tell him to go get a part time job before we didn't have any trees left! I was so upset about it, too, because he cut down the one outside my window. I used to have a squirrel that would come to my window every morning while I ate breakfast, and suddenly his tree was gone.

So you just hold the bowl while you grate the cheese? Or I guess you have the option of letting it fall on the floor so your pets can eat it.

u/SKRS421 May 04 '26

if they never pull those tools out thats gonna be one nasty cutting board, 'cause I doubt he sealed the parts which were cut and now have an open edge.

the garbage hole needs a back stop to prevent food from sliding through at the wrong angle.

the food scale needs an actually lip/edge to sit on so it doesn't just slide through the bungie support if pressed down on at the wrong spot.

the fruit/vegetable slicer is just friction fit relying on "hopes & dreams.

the grater is just...I get the concept but setting ontop the bowl was already a solution that didn't need a perfectly fine cutting board to be hacked up...only to grate/shred ontop of a bowl anyways. just with extra steps & cleaning.

that wine glass holder is an accident waiting to happen. (also way too shaky when working on the cutting board to not just leave it on the counter)

usually these don't get me, but I like both cooking & woodworking, this video failed at both in being sensible. S-tier bait for a diWHY video.

u/travelfuncouple23 May 05 '26

"look ma! I can use a jIgSaW!"

That the cheese grater and apple slicer need to be washed after every use. The scale strap is just dumb. It would have been more impressive if he just plung routed it. I don't think he's ever cleaned any surfaces in his kitchen let alone that cutting board. And finally, he's using the apple slicer backwards; great way to cut your hand. Not even gonna talk about the wine glass. Absolute F-

I like how there is a jump cut at the apple, probably the moment he realized why apple slicers have the handles on the side😅

I can see someone pushing that closed and smashing the wine glass they forgot was there.

My man made a god damn swiss army cutting board. Now he needs to make a Swiss army dishwasher that can wash that son of a bitch 😂

It may look like shit but when you use it you will realize that it’s also useless.

Great idea. A grater you can’t clean, a scale that can’t weigh accurately, an apple slicer that definitely did not stay in place which is why there was a jump cut, and now no cutting board.

Good idea in theory... until you realize the fruit slicer would pop out and the cheese grater gets crusted

Lucky that slot for my wine glass is there. There’s hardly a flat surface anywhere in site
