All of my life, things like this were called tips or tricks of the trade or "Hints by Heloise" for fucks sake!

What the fuck is it with this sort of silliness being called a "hack"?

Electrical tape conducts electricity? I sure hope that nobody takes this video seriously. It's like trying to jump start a car with one jumper cable. Ain't gonna happen.

Really. A parody. He's trollling for fun. It's all tongue-in-cheek. The things he puts on YouTube do not work. I think he's funny as hell.
