Putting Viral Life Hacks to the Test From Cheating Dice to Oreo Sushi

A popular YouTube channel with 27 million subscribers posts life hack videos that go viral. This video tests several of those hacks to see if they actually work. The hacks tested include making a cheating die by adding weight, creating a bird whistle with hands, carving an orange candle, making Oreo sushi, cooking perfect scrambled eggs using Gordon Ramsay's method, and the claim that a wedding ring can deflect a bullet. The results are mixed, with some hacks working surprisingly well and others failing completely.

This channel right here has 27 million subscribers and they post life hack videos that go insanely viral and we're going to test them to see if they actually work. Starting with how to make a cheating dice. A tiny nail is placed inside the drill and it's going to cause it to be glued shut and repainted. This makes one side of the dye heavier, causing the opposite side to land face up more often, allowing you to cheat. Another method is heating the dye slightly with the number you want pointing upwards. As it cools down, the melted part settles unevenly, which changes its balance, making it more likely to land on your chosen number.

Don't you think you'll be able to see that some of it's melted? Well, we'll find out. And sometimes certain sides of the dye are shaved down to make them flatter. The flatter side doesn't roll as easily, making it land on the bottom with the number you want facing up. Well, I feel like that first one with the nail will work for sure, but let's try all three. Okay, I got my three dice. Die. Sorry. We got this bad boy and we got a whole bunch of little screws, nails, sorry. We're going to take our first one. We want it to land on the six. So, we're going to make the other side heavier.

So, we're going to drill into this thing. Okay, let's try. Almost went to the other side. Look at this. What the heck? So, we go like Oh, it fit. It fits perfectly. And it also looks like a one. Okay. Now, going to get some super glue. We got our super glue. We're going to put some super glue. Wait, am I supposed to just put on top or inside? You know, let's let's get a little crazy. Let's put some inside. Or maybe let's just Oh, that's okay. That's a lot. But let's just go like this. Oh my god. So tiny. Let's just go bop. Okay, let's give that a couple seconds. And while that one is drying, we're going to take this one and throw it in the oven. So the side we want it to land on, we got to melt the bottom. I feel like we want

it to land on six. Everyone wants a six. The higher the better. So we're going to melt the one. Or wait, no, that one is gonna land on six. So let's let's change it up. We want to land on four. So we're gonna melt the three. Okay, we're gonna put a little piece of paper in here. Boom. And then we're gonna put the three down so it lands on the four. Okay, we're going to broil it for like 10 seconds. Here we go. We're going to press it. 550 heat. Okay, as soon as it starts to melt. Oh, the paper moved. Should I end it? Wait. Oh my god. OH MY. WHAT do I do? Take it out. What do I do? Let's take it out.

Let it go. Oh my god. Okay, it's doing something. Look at it. We got to get the closeup. We got to get the It's like poofy. It's poofing up, guys. Can you see that? The like the four on top is coming out. Oh my god. Okay. Well, in the meantime, while that one's cooling down a little, we got this one. It's heavier on this side, so it should land on the six. Do we think it's going to work? Let's find out. Let's just give it a little That's the one. This one's supposed to land on, not this one. Okay. Best of three.

What? That's two for two. Okay. One more try. Okay. This does not work. One more. Okay. It's landing on everything but the six, bro. Yep. Get that out of here. This thing does not work. Waste of money. Bought all these screws and nails and dice. Look it, guys. Waste of dice. Let's see if this one worked. Okay, it's it's it's a little hot still. It looks a little deformed, but this one's not going to work. That one didn't work. This one's not going to work. Okay, so it melted and dried. So,

this side should be a little heavier now. So, it should land on the four. Let's give it a roll. Oh, okay. Extra big roll. Let's see. Four. Wait, did you guys see that? It kind of went like So maybe it does work cuz it did land on a four. Let's try one. See, it's doing something. But that is not a four. That's not a four. If neither of those work, the last one's not going to work. So, we're moving on. Next, let's figure out how to moonwalk. If you want to moonwalk, start with one foot flat and the other on its toes while your heel stays lifted. The flat foot glides straight back across the

floor. Now, it looks like your raised foot is moving, but it actually stays in place while your flat one slides on the floor. And as it moves, your body stays completely level. Then you switch your feet. The sliding foot rises onto its toe and the other drops flat. Now that foot slides back just like the first. Then keep repeating. One foot glides, the other lifts. And as your legs move, the rest of you looks like it's floating in place. Okay, that seems pretty straightforward. Okay, for this one guys, I'm going to watch it as I go because this is really confusing. Saying a heel up, heel down, heel all around. So, so we're in position here. We slide back.

I think I got this. All right. Did I do it? You did it. I don't know what this looks like. In the video, guys, they had shoes on, but I feel like shoes are impossible. You need like you need to be slipping. So, Really? So it worked? Yeah. Wait, hold on. How do we interlock your fingers tightly and fold them down then? Okay, this one we could do right here. We're going to whistle. I've always wanted to learn how to actually whistle. I could go like this, guys. Like honestly, I can't even whistle like that very good, but hopefully I could I can learn how to whistle like this. Like that. Okay, so let's try.

Then press the back edge of your palms together. Okay, so interlock palms together like that. Okay, next offset the bottom of your hand so the gaps are sealed tight. Okay, you guys might not be able to see this. We're going to put them together and offset. Okay, still sealed in the back. and press your thumbs together, leaving a small hole between them. Fold them down. Okay, my hands are starting to hurt, but we got it sealed. Got this little sealage right there. Then what? Then go like that. And my fingers aren't long enough. A tiny gap. Okay. Then purse your lips and press your top lip on the knuckles of your thumb.

Breathe out like a heavy sigh, directing the air down into your hand before it comes back out the same hole. If it doesn't work the first time, adjust your fingers, the angle of your mouth, and the speed of your breath until you hear a bird whistling from your hands. Oh boy. Okay, that was confusing. I didn't know the sound comes out the same hole. I don't actually know how it worked, but Okay, we got a tiny hole. Nope. I can feel it coming out up top here. I Oh my god. Now, we're going to be making a candle from an orange.

Stick the orange in a glass and slice the peel all the way around. Then, slide a spoon under the peel to separate it from the fruit. Do the same on the other side before pulling off the top half. Satisfying. Slowly wiggle the fruit out of the bottom, leaving the white core attached to the piece. You got to go real slow. And pour olive oil over it until it's soaked and fill the shaped peel halfway before lighting the core. As it burns, it'll pull oil up through its fibers just like a wick, giving you a homemade candle that can burn for hours. That seems a little unsafe, but let's give it a shot. Now, we've got an orange and we've got this fancy knife. I This

is the best knife that I could find for this. Don't know if it's actually going to work, but okay. So, all we got to do is slice her right down the middle without jamming oursel. I feel like a regular knife would be better. Okay, we're back. Got a better knife. Okay, we got full circle all the way around. Ooh, twist it. Ooh, making a mess. There we go. And then let's try and be careful so we get the stem at the bottom still. This is This reminds me of a pumpkin. Okay, wait. Look it. I'm holding on by it. I think we actually have the stem and we got a mess. So, let me quickly clean this up.

Now, let's grab out our oil and we're going to fill up the bottom. Not too much now. Okay. Hopefully you guys can see that. That looks pretty good. That looks pretty close to the video. Now, the moment of truth. Hopefully the house does not go burning down. Oh. Oh, is it going? No, not yet. Oh, wait. Like it sounds like it's on fire and it's smoking, but Oh. Oh, nope. It just goes out. They just go straight out. All that's happening is the oil is going to spit at me and burn my eyeballs out. So, we're just going to skip to the next one. If you guys like Oreos and sushi, oh, you're going to love this one.

Twist the Oreos apart and scrape the cream into a bowl. Then, crush these into tiny crumbs with a rolling pin. Mix in a splash of milk. And after it turns into a soft dough, you can roll it out into a thin sheet. Next, water down the cream with milk and smooth it over the dough. Roll it into a log and wrap it with plastic wrap to keep it moist. After chilling it in the fridge, you can slice it into small rounds to get Oreo sushi. Mhm. The first step to making Oreo sushi, that sounds so weird to say, is to twist. So, we'll put that to the side and we'll scrape this off into the bowl, guys. We're not going to use the whole thing cuz that's a waste now. Like,

I want to eat some of them. So, we're going to do one row, though. Okay, that is one row gone. And it looks like there's a lot of Oreos, but if you look inside, it does not even look like that much. So, I'm going to do one more row just for good measure. Okay, now we got to crush these down. He said to use a rolling pin, but we're going to use this. We're going to put this on the side here. And then we're going to put these in here. And then we're going to beat this. We're actually really getting there. This is actually looking really good. Okay, so now we put it down on here. Oh, it smells so good. I just want to go. That's pretty good. Of course, I'm wearing a white shirt doing all this stuff. Okay. It says to use a

roller, but do we have a roller? We do not have a roller. So, we're using my hand rollers. Got to make a nice square. Now, we put the cream in with some more milk. I'm just going to do a little bit this time. Ooh, look at that. Ooh, look at that. Yep. Let me flatten it down a little. As you can tell, guys, I am not a cook. I can't remember if it's the whole thing or just like one side. So, we're just going to try this for now. Okay, look at that looking scrumptious. Okay, that's, you know, I'm happy with that. But now it says to roll it like this. Let's try with the tool. Oh boy.

Looks like Oreo sushi to me. Yeah, it doesn't. You know, it doesn't look bad. It kind of looks like a turd, but now we grab our plastic. Saran wrap is down. Now we have to transfer this ONTO THE SARAN WRAP. DO NOT TURN INTO A BALL. OKAY. You know that was Oh, wait. Okay, we kind of got it. Okay, let's wrap the sides. Oh, it's actually looking good. I actually think this might turn out. Okay, now we're going to transfer it just like this into the fridge. And we'll come back whenever it says.

Are you guys ready for this? Pretty hard. Now, put her on the cutting board. I don't know what they did in the video, but let's open her up and let's see. Still looks like a turd, but now it's a hard solid turd. Got my knife. And guys, I got a little surprise in here. So, let's see if the inside has the little swirls. In here, we have Why isn't it turning on? Okay, so where's the other one? Here we go. They're not the same color, but oh well. Okay, we got lightsaber chopsticks. Stop top chopsticks. It's kind of not picking it up. Come on. You got this, Luke. And it's been in

there for like two days, guys. So, it's This is as hard as it's going to get. Oh, look at that, guys. Okay. You ready? Taste test. That's really good. Tastes like I just ate 10 Oreos at the same time. Pass. Grab a straw, then a potato, and try to stab it through. The obviously breaks, but now grab a new straw and put your thumb over the end. This causes the air inside to push against the sides of the straw. Presses it and makes it hard. Stab it. It'll go straight through, leaving a hole you could thread a string through to make a potato necklace. Who approved this?

Well, we're going to try to make a potato necklace. Then we've got a potato and we've got a plastic straw. So, if we just jam it, it shouldn't do anything. That's not supposed to happen. Okay. What? Let me try again. Maybe that was too hard. We're on here. We're going nice and gentle. And it snapped. Okay. That's what they said in the video. If we just do a simple plug of the top, it should be able to break the whole thing. So, um I don't think this one works, guys. But what if Okay, so the jamming almost works. What if we plug it and then jam? Yeah. No, there's no hole. There's a dent, but there's no hole. One more time.

Um, yeah. I don't think this one works. Apparently, we're going to build a strong hammer out of ice. If you pour water into a hammer mold, freeze it, peel it out, and then try to hit a nail right away. Instead, use a mallet mold to spread the weight more evenly. Next, tear up a paper towel to spread on the bottom. This makes a mesh that holds the ice layers together. After that, stuff in cotton balls, which helps give the ice a sturdy structure, and lay two strings down the length of the hammer to keep the handle connected to sense. Finally, if you top it off with one more layer of paper towels before pouring in the water, you'll end up with a sturdy hammer that can crush a jawbreaker.

A jawbreaker? Really? Don't you think when you pour the water, everything would like scatter around? But let's try it. So, I ordered all this stuff on Amazon, guys, and I'll show you the picture. In the picture, it looks like a full size. It looks as big as this thing. But I opened it this morning, and here's what we got. So, we're still going to try it cuz this is the only one I could find. I don't know where you're supposed to get a mold the size of this. So, let's see if it works. Let's just fill this thing up with water, I guess. Whoopdedoo. Already done. Look how tiny this thing is. Okay. And then we're going to put it in. Don't mind the messy um freezer. We just, you know, we eat

lots of food, guys. And there we go. Come back in 24 hours. It has been over 24 hours. We got our hammer. Take this out without breaking it. It's so tiny and flimsy that I might break it. I'm pretty sure these are actually for chocolate, guys. So, if you want to make like a chocolate hammer, that's what this is for. But we got an ice cube hammer. Now, I'm just going to grab a dice. We're going to grab the dice. So, according to the video, this should break as soon as I smash something. It's going to slip out of my hand. It's so slippery. 3. Two. Okay, that's what they said it was going to do. Bye-bye. Now, we've got these. We got some string and some cotton. Oh, and some paper. We're going to put some of

this in here. Oh my gosh. This pretty much covers the whole thing. Just going to line this thing up. You know, this might actually work. I don't remember the order, but I'm sure it's all the same thing. We're going to cut this around the same size. We're just going to lay it down in here. There's no way this is going to break a jawbreaker. Okay. And these won't even fit, but we'll try. Try we'll try to use one. Boom. Oh boy. Okay. There we go. How the heck are we going to fit any water in this? Okay. This time we put it in first so we don't make a mess. I swear no water is going to even be able to sit in here, but let's try.

I'm doing a bad job at this, but that's full. Right. Come back in 24 hours. All right. Where's our hammer? Here it is. You know, honestly, it looks pretty strong. So, what we're going to do, our little test. We don't have a jawbreaker, but when I think of a hammer, I think of nailing things in. Okay, so I have this little cardboard box. Now, watch. With just my hands, I could poke a little hole, right? So, you would think if this could break a jawbreaker that this can hammer in this little screw. Okay, let's see. Try not to break this. Shouldn't break. If all of these things are in here and it's so supposed to be indestructible, shouldn't be breaking. So, wow. That actually looks pretty good. I still

don't think this is going to work. It's still ice, but Okay, but here we go. Wait, the other one would have broke already. Okay, it didn't go in, but it didn't break. Well, it's starting to bend, but it didn't break. So, technically, this one did work. But do I think it'll break a jawbreaker? I actually do. I do because I just realized that we're using this tiny little thing and the one in the video was like a massive one, but I don't know where the heck you're supposed to find a mallet or a hammer the size of a real one. So, you know what? I'm going to say this pass cuz it

didn't break. The other one broke right away. See, it's still good. Okay, here's Gordon Ramsey's trick for perfect eggs. Crack the cold eggs in a pan and add a chunk of butter. Stir them together over medium heat. This cooks them slowly while the butter oils the pan. As you mix, scrape the bottom to prevent it from burning. And every 30 seconds, take them off the heat for 10 seconds while stirring. This cooks the eggs gradually and for into the mix fluffy and soft. After 3 minutes, take them off and add cream to stop them from cooking. Then season with salt and pepper to finish off your perfect eggs.

Oo, those look good. I know it's a cartoon, but those look yummy. So, for this one, guys, I was going to attempt it, but we have a real chef. She used to work at a restaurant, I guess. And hey, her eggs, I swear they're already really good. So, we'll see if this makes it any better. But if I were to do this, I'd probably screw it up. So, she said she'd do it. So, we only have two eggs. In the video, it says to use three, but I'm sure it'll do the same thing. Okay. So, we crack two eggs inside. Okay. And then we put butter. Okay. Put a big wad of butter. How much? A big wad. I think more than that. More. Well, in the video. They have a big wad. Actually, that's probably good. Whatever. Whatever you think. You're You're the chef.

I think that's good. Okay. Then we put it on medium heat. Medium. Hey, it needs to focus. Medium. Okay. Then what? Stir on medium heat. Okay. Okay. And as we mix, we have to scrape it so it doesn't burn. You got that? I got it. But we have to set a 30-se secondond timer. No, like right now. I think so. So, we're starting the 30 seconds now. After the 30 seconds, you have to take it off to prevent it from sticking for 10 seconds. This is a lot of seconds. We got zero. 10 seconds. Off

for 10 seconds. Off for 10 seconds. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Put it back. OH, IT'S OKAY. This is how Gordon Ramsey cooks it. GUYS. GUYS, 10 SECONDS. THROW. IT didn't even need beep. 10 seconds. Okay, we're closing in on 2 minutes, right? I think that's 2 minutes. We got a full minute. And it's looking pretty good. This is the final one. Okay, last 30 seconds. It's looking pretty good. 1 minute. It's done. You have to take it off. We have to turn that off. And then we have to put this in. We have to put this in to stop it from cooking. Here we go.

Um enough to make it so it doesn't it stops cooking. Just to cool it down, I think. Oo, look at that. That's looking pretty squishious. Oh, yes. And then we have to put um salt and pepper. Salt and pepper, but no cheese cuz Gordon Ramsey does not use cheese. Not the good salt that his mom gave us. Yes. Right. Apparently, this is the good one. Except salt and pepper. Okay. Just making sure. Just use a little bit. I know you don't like Okay. We're both going to try this.

Okay. Oh, okay. Not bad. Should we put some parsley on it? Okay. It looks pretty good. It's probably cold now, but can we do a smell test? We can do a smell test. Smells eggy. Smells like an egg. Yeah. It looks like an egg. Okay, guys. We put cheese on our eggs. I love cheese because too much egg is like Anyway. Okay. Cheers. They taste like hotel eggs. They do like in the buffet where they have like all in the big thing. Yeah. Like really fluffy. You can definitely tell a difference. Like they're like fluffy. Nice.

It works. Gordon Ramsay. It does work. It's a 10 seconds off. It adds errand. Mhm. Yeah. American. It's like, you hear that? It's like ooshy. This is our lunch. Do you like them? One egg each. This is all we get. Please subscribe, guys, so we could eat maybe some bread next time. And guys, if you enjoy these types of videos that in real life, let me know in the comments down below because I will literally do this every single week if you guys want. And we're moving into a bigger house, which means bigger, better videos and more eggs.

Last one for today, guys. The robber fired the gun right at his head, but at the same time, the man put his hands up to cover his face, and instead of piercing through his skull, the bullet struck his wedding ring. It deflected off the metal into two pieces. One got stuck in his finger, and the other pierced his neck, but apart from minor injuries and a dented ring, the man walked away unharmed. All right, let's see if one of my rings can protect me from a gunshot. You guys really thought I was going to have someone shoot me? That's going to be it for today's video.
