"Weed Eater"
Interesting. Where I live we've always called it a "Weed Wacker"
Where I come from we call it a "strimmer"..
Ya me 2
in hungarian, we say "fűkasza" which means grass scythe
i’m from texas and we call it weed eater
In Australia we call it a whiper snipper
i finally found the source of randomly generated humor
?

@AbdullahTXT veggietales
welcome to the future.
weed eaters?
“Weed eater”, “weed whacker” nah mate down here in Australia it’s a whippa snippa, nuff said
Up the wippa snippa
String trimmer is correct. WeeD eater is a brand name.
@Lee Greer strimmer
I would’ve never imagined it could be called that if you came up to me and called it that I would’ve thought you would be talking about a bull whip
We call it moto(rized) scythe
As a weed eater, I am amazed by this video
very funny. lol
Which one or both
@David wrong kind of weed
As a video, I am amazed by this weed eater
I am also a weed eater in that I'm the guy on the truck in charge of weeds at the properties each day at my landscaping job. If you were joking I got the joke. If you're the weed person at your job then Hello and our avatars wear matching badass uniforms. Yeah
Why did the chicken cross the road?

Am I the only one who calls it a “weed wacker” rather than a “weed eater”
Weedwacker represent here in southeast PA
Ya fuggin hick
Ur not alone
Yes
No
The neighbors: "What idiot tries to cut a wire fence like that?-"
Also the Neighbors: "Oh, it's Destin. That makes a lot more sense."
"That man is out weed eating with a high speed camera"
"Oh its Destin again"
"The perfect username doesnt exi-"
WeedEater
Should call it a "string trimmer" not a weed eater.. Weed eater is a brand
Is anybody going to appreciate the sound design for the slow motion parts?
When you watch that one video from the slow mo guys about their slow no sound and think youre in the “know” about editing and slow mo
Isn't the sound real?
Well it is, but even with good equipment you have to play with gains and filters a bit before you get a crisp, life-like sound that is not making your ears bleed at the same time.
No thas dumb
I’ve never heard anyone call it a “weed eater”. I call it a “weed whacker”, what do you guys call it?
Edit: I’m from Connecticut, USA, as it seems this is a regional dialect thing
@chris jones yeah yall are weird.
Trimmer
two stroke goat
i called it a weed whacked for my whole life, and i was born and raised in colorado
Weed whipper
This went from a great one-off video, to the start of a legendary trilogy
everything's a legendary trilogy if you do it long enuf
When you run in slow motion like that, I find myself feeling really sad for the grass.
you gonna be a plant rights activist?
@Flooters grass rights activist, even.
Do you know how a lawn smells after you cut the grass?, that’s the smell of your lawn weeping in pain
Imagine seeing your neighbor weed wacking his yard with a motorcycle helmet on
well... better than using no protectional gear like the braindead interns I had to monitor last week.
Lmao
"How high is that weed eater"
-- Annoying Sibling
Okay this one made me laugh
I just spent 20 minutes watching a man cut grass with a slow-motion camera, and somehow I feel smarter. Thanks Destin!
I feel smarter watching a man cutting grass
The "SmarterEveryDay" effect
Lmao
Nobody concern about that mount of plastic disposal, very small fragments.... In very short time that and up in us in many ways. This is must be band.
Actually you spent 19:06
Hey Destin, love your videos! Kudos for the physics analysis on so much everyday stuff, I can't get enough of your videos.
I was wondering if you can please make a video where you're analyzing the physics of a scythe compared to a weed eater. My grandpa taught me how to scythe, and while the learning curve is very tough, the efficiency and speed of a scythe is way better than a weed eater. I was just wondering how it looks from a physicist's point of view.
Cheers!
"It is like a spaghettification of the weedeater line...." I like your technical terms there Dustin.
Spaghettification refers to light bending in a black hole because the strands of light elongate to look like spaghetti
I loved the stickers on the rotor and the curiosity test! Always an amazing job. Thanks
“Guess what?”

I clicked on this video just for this comment
@James Harris you got what you wanted

wee deater😭😭😭

That slo-mo footage of the thinnest fence is incredible!!
I live how something like weed eater wire effectively turns into cooked spaghetti at high speeds
For anxiety and depression this channel just does the trick. Thank you
So, I was just starting the video thinking I could do other stuff while it was running in the background - I mean, weed eaters how interesting can that be?! Apparently I was wrong - I will now look at my own weed eater with renewed interest (and I want a high speed camera too).
Keep up the good work Destin.

WEEDEATER
I used to eat 10 edibles every day
I am the human weedeater
@ΞGerraffΞ There was a brand sold in Australia maaaany years ago called Weed Eater. The brand is still around apparently, but I haven't seen them myself. I used to call them weed eater's as a kid.
Beat me to it
@David Stevens in australia it's called a whipper snipper
Im a welder by trade,downtown Nashville, i find myself wondering what certain processes look like in slow motion such as, angle grinder with a cut off wheel, angle grinder with a rock wheel and an angle grinder with a flap disc. Also cutting steel with a band saw, ect.ect... Just a thought..! Cool videos as always..
can we just appreciate the folly sounds during the slo mo that they edited in? If you didn't notice it, they did it right. Great detail.
Everything is so peaceful in slow motion.
Honestly love the randomness sir keep it up.. physics in slow mo is all I need
This channel is so awesome. We get to see things that we would otherwise never have the opportunity, but also because it is presented in a professional way as opposed to just a couple guys playing around.
"In the future, entertainment will be randomly generated"
"Weed eater"
Anyone who supports Donald Trump is brainwashed at no fault of their own. I have all the necessary facts to fix it, please give me the opportunity.
wehere in australia call them whipper snippers
@latur maku um idk there's like millions of veiws so I'm guessing no
oh for me its infotainment maybe? its like an funny teacher so i even dont think about annoy my table neighbour.
@Rupert Murdoch Politics? Poggers
Awesome video!
I just had an idea while checking out some knives online. It would be awesome if you could make a video similar to this comparing different knife sharpening techniques (wet stone, pull through, honing steel, etc) with some close-ups of the knife blades after sharpening to help settle the debacle around pull-through sharpeners causing damage to knives and which steels chip more often, are harder to sharpen, etc
Destin these videos are great. I’m enjoying the landscaping videos you’ve done as of late. I’ve landscape for years and there some things that happen I’d love to see you be able to do. We use to have guys run over ground stakes in the ground with push mowers and I’d love to see what happens to the blade and the mower as it strikes the stake. Thanks for all your hard work on all your videos Destin
"Thanks for reading this yo."
No problem. I love your content. To be honest, i actually tried some of the "do at home stuff" Im curious in pretty much every single way there is with Airplanes. I do Model Airplane flying, which is the perfect way to try things. Aerodynamics, weight distribution, Center of gravity, all that good plane stuff.
Oh, and Subscribed 👍
Thanks, now with measurements it really looks like science 😂👍
Anyone else know it as “Weed Whacker?”
@Cooper W weed eater is a popular brand
Weedeater is what most people here call it, but then again the bag man down at our local grocery store calls it a sod sucker! Haha to each is own I guess although it would be kinda weird to ask someone what they would charge to suck your sod! Lol
Cory Goodman They should give this guy a badge so he can patrol the comment sections on YouTube. Haha
Whipersnipper
Yep
"Slow Motion Weed Eater"
A.k.a. me having my third vegetable browny.
Not my first time watching this, still amazed at the "spring back" speed of the grass
I think its impressive that in slow motion the grass straightens back up pretty quick
Amazing stuff. I love your videos. I would definitely watch them more if youtube would still be watchable. I had 6 comercial breaks in the 16 minutes i watched until i couldn’t take it anymore
"In the future humor will be randomly generated!"
What did one sea say to the other sea?
Lmao
W E E D E A T E R
well this kinda was; he got the idea sorta randomly
@ZelTheWeavile I don't know.... what?
Great video. Could you do a comparison to one of the rigid pre-loaded trimmer heads? Those last so much longer against chain link and after watching this I bet it's because they don't wrap around the fencing
Wow I love when the weed eater matched up with the frame rate so satisfying
OHHH that’s a real weed eater in my neighborhood we have literal weed eaters
It sounds like a 2 step rev limiter with the longer line when he revs it up
My favorite thing about these tools is that in the south the name “weed eater” just becomes “weedeeder”
Had no idea what this video was about until I saw the "weed eater". Never even heard that term in the UK. Here it's known as a "strimmer"
@Ender huh, so the technical name is the one i've never heard...
Whipper snipper could be a fairly localized term. I live in Saskatchewan (western Canadian Prairies), and i've only heard that term from my dad, who is from Manitoba (roughly 500 miles east), so quite possibly it's from around there.
@Reagan Harder Perhaps? I saw someone from Australia say they call it a 'whippa snippah' so maybe it originated there?
We call it a strimmer in England
Weed Eater is a trademark or brand name for a string trimmer, similar to how Kleenex is a brand name for tissue, and both ended up being used more broadly than the specific product they were trademarked for.
I have all those fences on my property. The last one, rabbit fence, gives me the biggest issue and I use around my entire garden. Thanks for the help
Hello sir, i have watched a number of your videos and have an insane amount of respect for the quality of content you make, but also for how diligent you are with everything you do. Everything is done top notch and it’s so very admirable. I have seen those raycon earbuds advertised on a few channels now and my Fiancé is needing some earbuds, so i finally went and checked them out. I figured if you are vouching for them that means they must be top shelf. After reading reviews for them there’s no way I can make myself order a pair because of several negative reviews. The quality of sound, connectivity issues, range, and just overall quality is what lots of people consistently complain about. I know that having a sponsor for videos is probably an amazing blessing and allows you to continue doing more and more videos, but don’t sell out and jeopardize the integrity of your brand by advertising a product that might not be up to the standards of your brand. With that being said, my point of sending this was to tell you that your channel is badass and I love your work. You + Mark Rober + Colin Furze + Stuff made here = Makers of the most amazing things anyone can think of. Lol You should collaborate with some of those guys. Take care!
Yet another excellent video, thanks
Are the sounds genuine from vid or fx added afterwards? They sound really cool.
Also, in the UK they are generally known as strimmers although I believe that that is a brand name. Cheers

You bring stability to my family's life. My goal is to be a light during this time. https://www.patreon.com/smartereveryday
I know the world is a bit crazy at the moment. I wish you and your family peace and love. Spread the love and help others where you can. Look for the positive stories of people coming together in unity and try to amplify them.
There's a lot of disinformation at the moment so if you recall what we learned together in the social media disinformation series, think twice before you share something!
