The How to Make Everything shop burned down

Maybe you haven't heard of the channel, but they have over 1.5 million subscribers, and they used to do collaborations with The King of Random and Cody's Lab.

He made a big deal out of resetting his channel 2 years ago. Instead of showing how to make random common objects from scratch he started showing how to make ancient innovations from scratch.

Did he reinvent the wheel?

This is my favorite video:
He set up a GoFundMe and asked for $10,000. As of right now he has $43,043

The video said that he still hadn't been able to go inside and see how bad the damage was.

$10,000 doesn't sound like much to rebuild a shop and equipment, but he is still able to produce content.

He should have started with building homeowners insurance from scratch. Odd relying on GFM when insurance is ubiquitous with mortgages.

Not much incentive to change if you can con dumber people into paying for your mistakes.

I should take that back, there isn't a con, just really dumb people.

I accidentally drank all my beer... need to start a GoFundMe. I'll make the beer from scratch if that makes it more interesting for people.

If you could make some sort of beer out of corn, and tasting as good as some beer made out of either barley or wheat, I'd be interested to see it

Extra points if it's made from honey

A question about a scene in "The 13th Warrior"
https://soc.religion.islam.narkive.c...e-13th-warrior
In the movie "The 13th Warrior", one of the Vikings offers the Muslim something to drink. The Muslim replies that does not drink anything made from grains. The Viking says its mead; it's made from honey. The Muslim takes the mug and drinks from it. Mead is the only alcoholic drink not prepared from fruit or grain. Is a Muslim allowed to drink mead?

I'd just make ethanol and mix it with grapefruit juice at that point.
