Just gratuitous violence in a #short
Added 2022-10-14 04:24:36 +0000 UTCI made a new video about this fake fuel saver plug, but then decided to blow it up in a short video by swapping the polarity of the capacitor and drilling some extra vent holes for the boom to come out of.
The case actually contained the blast quite well.

You could probably just run document.querySelectorAll('a#thumbnail, a#video-title').forEach((e) => {e.href = e.href.replace('/shorts/', '/watch?v=')}) and it would be fine, but I wrote it to be very (overly?) specific just to avoid the unlikely possibility of breaking other links.

2022-10-15 20:34:11 +0000 UTCI'm Gen X too. And yes, it's Javascript. The specific part that makes a change is the e.href = e.href.replace([...]) It replaces "/shorts/" (YT's shorts video UI) with "/watch?v=" (YT's regular video UI). Everything outside of that is just selecting HTML elements in the DOM and walking through them to find the specific links to modify.

2022-10-15 20:25:20 +0000 UTCFor situations like those I have a 4 pole contactor on a long remote release cable. Chonk! Boom.

2022-10-15 20:18:52 +0000 UTCThat is interesting. I am a Gen X raised on C but this is Javascript, right? So what exactly does your paste operation do? As in HOW does it take effect? Cheers.

2022-10-15 04:51:52 +0000 UTCIt was the second go with a much bigger capacitor, and still wasn't as violent as I was hoping. I was wanting the case to blow apart.

2022-10-14 17:03:36 +0000 UTCI usually don't complain - but this was a little an anti climax. Next time add some Woffel juice foam :-)

2022-10-14 11:45:19 +0000 UTCOh right, I kinda forgot... it only changes the link, not the click handler. You have to middle click or right click and open in new tab/window for it to actually do something useful. Eh, I keep not really wanting to dig into modifying the click handler because that's a whole can of worms.

2022-10-14 11:09:46 +0000 UTCIt only modifies the YT shorts links on the current page that you run it on. If you refresh the page the links will be reset to what YT pushes at you.

2022-10-14 10:55:18 +0000 UTCWhen you have a YT video list page open, you can open the dev tools (F12 in Chrome and Firefox) and click the "console tab" and paste the code in and hit enter.

2022-10-14 10:54:10 +0000 UTCforgive my ignorance, but how are us innocent ones supposed to use that? ;-)

2022-10-14 10:50:13 +0000 UTCSorry to disappoint you but most components are fitted with one-way valves; they can only let smoke out. must be to stop them being overpressured, I suppose... ;-)

2022-10-14 10:49:36 +0000 UTCLove the magic smoke! BigClive, can you use one of your fan units to collect smoke and put it into a different circuit that has also stopped running?

2022-10-14 04:32:14 +0000 UTCI feel obligated to share this, even though it won't change the link here on Patreon. ;) It only works on YT pages to change the shorts links to regular video links. document.querySelectorAll('ytd-browse #primary #contents').forEach((e) => { e.querySelectorAll('ytd-video-renderer, ytd-grid-video-renderer').forEach((e) => { e.querySelectorAll('a#thumbnail, a#video-title').forEach((e) => {e.href = e.href.replace('/shorts/', '/watch?v=')}); }); });
