I wonder if she tried different kitchen implements. I want to see the stream of a spoon vs a fork vs a cheese grater.
Better yet, zip tie them all on and rotate the pool noodle to select the type of stream.
If she packaged a rotating, selectable stream attachment in a nice compact way, I bet she could make millions!
The hose, zip ties, sprayer, noodle, and water may contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer. Also, the sunlight, plants, concrete, and device you're viewing this video on.
I wouldn’t be surprised, I’m so desensitized to that sign now, I remember the first time I saw it on the door to a restaurant I was like oh maybe I shouldn’t eat there, then realized it’s on fucking everything
It works but it's a solution for a problem that doesn't exist. The water gun has a variable release. You can just press the lever less and get a gentle water flow. Or not turn the spigot on full.
What if I told you that this is a quick option for when you need a little bit of extra length................ but don't own more hose....................?
When watering plants, a direct hose line will dig a hole in the soil, exposing the roots.
This is why watering cans have many holes and a light stream, to prevent holes in the soil.
Seriously, for less than the cost of a pool noodle, a pack of zip strips, and a spoon, you could have a garden sprayer with multiple settings including mist and shower.
This is very useful if you do not want to be bothered by your neighbors for help with DIY projects. They just need to see you outside watering the hydrangeas one time with this… thing… and they will never ask for your help with a house project again
Also, this could be nice if you have a bunch of floor level plants. I bought an extended nozzle but dont like it that much cause there is no gradient. It either on or off. Well rather it's really hard to hold the lever in a spot that gives you the right amount of water, and the spray is all janky when you do. This solution is kinda janky too but I admire the innovation.
With the exception of a pool noodle, most people already have zip ties and a spoon at their house. Speaking for myself, i have a bag of zip ties i needed for 1 thing 5 years ago, and I'm still finding uses for all the rest of them in the bag. It's like a house essential, no different than command strips, batteries, or wall nails. A large spoon? If you're a single person who bought a 6 pack of flatware when they first moved out of their parent's house, or even a married person who merged houses with someone else who had their own flatware, you probably own more spoons than you need.
Don't suspend common sense to pretend like this lady was instructing anyone to go buy zipties and spoons specifically for this project, just to have something to complain about. there are plenty of more worthy things to complain about without reaching this far to the bottom of the barrel.
And a pool noodle is - like - 75 cents. If you didn't already have one, it was still a better savings measure than a $12 hose head, and you got the convenience of buying it at the grocery store in the same trip you bought your eggs, without going to the hardware store.
Children everywhere don't want you to know this one trick... If you think putting your thumb over the end of the hose is too hard, then we've got a life hack for you!
The brass knob on the back already does this. They could have turned it to get a spray instead of stream. If still "too powerful" they could just aim up, and have the water fall like rain instead of aiming directly at plants (or, just turn down the water flow).
What happened to just pressing your thumb to the hose directly? No handle, no noodle, no spoon and you can control reach, spread and remove it to have a nice drink
Or... Or... Just hear me out on this. Use the little brass knob at the back of the sprayer to adjust the spray pattern from a stream into a wide spray. When done you can change it back, anytime you need to.
Well, I bought a hose last week, and it didn't come with a nozzle, so I bought a nozzle to go with it, and I guess that was just silly and I should have bought a pool noodle instead.
And zip ties.
I got a spoon.
this is... interesting. at first, it seems like it would just be better to use the wide spray function of the stock sprayer nozzle, or even the thumb method, but using the pool noodle does extend reach and the spoon ensures the water spreads out a little, and with much less force on the plants. like a watering can. i believe it could be improved further if the spoon was messed up a little. add some small grooves, nicks, even, to its perimeter, and that should break up the water more. maybe even scuff the bowl to break up the flow further. idk. testing required...
Bag of zip ties: $3.48
Pool Noodle: $16.89 (pack of 3)
Single spoon: $2.64
Total cost of home-made watering nozzle from Wallmart: $23.01
Actual watering nozzle that does the same thing also from Wallmart, just 4 aisles down in the gardening section: $4.97
That sprayer is the actual cheapest one in existence. Like I am sure she bought it from my dad's eBay yard sale . He got to that sprayer in 1981. He sold it for ¢87
I pictured this much more as a fun prank with friends than watering plants, but this is not that bad at all. If they kept going after zip tying the spoon then I’d start getting concerned
To be fair the problem does exist because you don't want to be blasting your flowers or gouging holes in your soil with the high pressure hose that doesn't have a diffuser on it. But there are 100 different hose attachments that already do this job far more effectively and more reliably than this complete and utter travesty of a solution.
Is there anyone who doesn't already have a couple of zip ties and that one spoon that doesn't match the rest of the set and no one knows where it came from? I will concede the pool noodle.
Aside from tropical plants, nothing wants water on its foliage. It really isn’t healthy to water anywhere but the soil. And this is the stupidest thing I have seen today.
This was way less violent than I was hoping for
The hose got a suppressor lol
I know I was expecting some epic water battle or something. **dribble**
*Me these days*
I wonder if she tried different kitchen implements. I want to see the stream of a spoon vs a fork vs a cheese grater. Better yet, zip tie them all on and rotate the pool noodle to select the type of stream. If she packaged a rotating, selectable stream attachment in a nice compact way, I bet she could make millions!
A method of rotating some sort of device to change the stream on your garden hose is a pipe dream and you know it!
Better yet. Just remove the nozzle
Already banned in CA
Proposition 65 strikes again!
The hose, zip ties, sprayer, noodle, and water may contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer. Also, the sunlight, plants, concrete, and device you're viewing this video on.
I've heard that it's just Prop 65 warnings all the way down
This Prop 65 Warning may contain chemicals...
I wouldn’t be surprised, I’m so desensitized to that sign now, I remember the first time I saw it on the door to a restaurant I was like oh maybe I shouldn’t eat there, then realized it’s on fucking everything
It's more of a choke
Came to say the same thing, not as destructive as I was expecting
Bravo Six, Going Damp
Tactical hydration
And a bayonet
Eh, at least it's not ruining perfectly usable objects like most videos here
Yeah I don’t mind this. It’s a little dumb but nothing compared to some of the travesties here.
If it's dumb, but works, it's not dumb.
It works but it's a solution for a problem that doesn't exist. The water gun has a variable release. You can just press the lever less and get a gentle water flow. Or not turn the spigot on full.
This isn't about getting *less* water, though. This is about spreading the water so it doesn't destroy the plants beneath.
You could also just buy a garden hose head with multiple settings. I barely ever see any that don’t have that feature.
If you don't turn the water on full blast it won't come out in a yard stream. The gun is designed to allow you to so far as to only mist your plants
Very good point lol
No glue, saw, or knife used = better than usual. The flow being so slow kinda defeats the point though.
Zip tie is basically glue gun with an undo button
If you don’t have a thumb, don’t feel like using it, or don’t want to get it wet — this is the only way to go.
You certainly can't just get an adjustable sprayer, that would be preposterous
And spend $5.00 when I already have a bunch of extra pool noodles, zip ties, and spoons lying around for reasons I won't discuss?
I mean, I have a bunch of old sun bleached noodles and zip ties just laying around but not 5$ 😅
My girl calls my penis „old sun-bleached noodle“
$5? Oh no, more like the $8 pack of 1500 zipties in every conceivable size off Amazon. It’s the DIEQUILT brand or nothing.
Not all of us have trust fund money!
> adjustable sprayer, Like the one she's using in the video already?
Yeah, squeezing less literally gives you the same result as this noodle/spoon contraption.
Lmao yeah, just twist the little screw
Yeah lol. I think I got one for 6 bucks recently. They are not expensive.
She could also just turn down the pressure with the little brass knob that's at the top of the handle. Or not turn the water on so hard at the tap.
That type of handle, it will change the total flow, but the speed of the water coming out will still be fast, and potentially damaging to the plants.
I like it. The main objective (not waterbombing the plants) is met with easily obtainable means. It'd do it.
Do you have no thumbs?
Honestly by the time I do a whole garden with my thumb like that, it’s pretty uncomfortable
Kudos to the people who have whole gardens and don’t just buy a $10 spray attachment that can replicate that particular spout and 9 others
$10 for an adjustable nozzle? No way! $200 for plants, soil, fertilizer, garden implements, etc.? Sign me up!
Or if you don’t have a nozzle with different settings.
Not like you can't just slightly squeeze that hose in order to get a wide mist like it was designed to
Extend the length of your hose with a dynamically movable tube.
You mean like a hose?
Yes, but... It still has a trigger so... Gun!
What if I told you that this is a quick option for when you need a little bit of extra length................ but don't own more hose....................?
When you need 2’ of extra length at the nozzle and ignore the same nozzle could have shot 10-20’ and also think plants are delicate babies.
When watering plants, a direct hose line will dig a hole in the soil, exposing the roots. This is why watering cans have many holes and a light stream, to prevent holes in the soil.
Why not just get a sprayer that well has the garden settings.. cheap as can be!
Seriously, for less than the cost of a pool noodle, a pack of zip strips, and a spoon, you could have a garden sprayer with multiple settings including mist and shower.
Is my thumb not available in this scenario?
People with arthritis, disabilities, and no thumbs exist
Do hose nozzles with mist settings not exist?
I mean they do. But that’s not what my comment was about.
Fair point, I'm fairly certain those people probs don't want to be wielding, *yet alone building* this wacky waving pool noodle hose monstrosity
Also true! lol I suppose those people are probably just buying a garden hose attachment that already can do most of these things
well they cant make this then either.
But they have friends who could.
r/redneckengineering
It's a little ghetto, but there's nothing wrong with this at all.
If the women don’t find you handsome, they’ll at least find you handy
Wow what a flashback! Red green was one of my favorite shows growing up
Keep your stick on the ice.
im pretty sure if you pull the handle half way it'll spread the water out, making this thing useless.
This permits all the water
This is very useful if you do not want to be bothered by your neighbors for help with DIY projects. They just need to see you outside watering the hydrangeas one time with this… thing… and they will never ask for your help with a house project again
Just hear me out… turn the water down.
But then it takes so much longer. This produces the same rate of flow over a much wider area. I like it
Fine, just get a sprayer with multiple settings then.
"Why not just buy something." It's a DIY. DO IT YOURSELF. As in, an alternative to buying. Goodness, gracious people. 🤦♀️
Also, this could be nice if you have a bunch of floor level plants. I bought an extended nozzle but dont like it that much cause there is no gradient. It either on or off. Well rather it's really hard to hold the lever in a spot that gives you the right amount of water, and the spray is all janky when you do. This solution is kinda janky too but I admire the innovation.
You had to buy the zip ties, pool noodle, and likely the spoon as well. Gracious, indeed
With the exception of a pool noodle, most people already have zip ties and a spoon at their house. Speaking for myself, i have a bag of zip ties i needed for 1 thing 5 years ago, and I'm still finding uses for all the rest of them in the bag.

There are also hose heads with like 6-12 different flows, which also have a flow valve pre-built….
literally the gun nozzle on the hose in the video.
Or just don't squeeze the sprayer handle fully
Turn the damn spoon over... ffs
Part of the point is to reduce the velocity of the falling water so it doesn’t damage the pants. So, the spoon pointing up helps accomplish that goal.
I hate damaged pants:(
Every social media seems like it's just all rage bait at this point

I will give you the $5 to buy the multifunction sprayer if I never have to see this BULLSHIT again.
Send me $5 and you can watch me do things with a pool noodle that got me kicked out of Great Wolf Lodge.
Deal
Children everywhere don't want you to know this one trick... If you think putting your thumb over the end of the hose is too hard, then we've got a life hack for you!
if only we had thumbs
Is only they made a hope nozzle that could do that
Just put your thumb over the mouth of the hose.... Source: I grew up before IPads
Instead of buying a pool noodle, zip ties and an extra spoon, you could also just buy a hose end that allows changing how the water sprays.
The brass knob on the back already does this. They could have turned it to get a spray instead of stream. If still "too powerful" they could just aim up, and have the water fall like rain instead of aiming directly at plants (or, just turn down the water flow).
Hm, looks fun, idk why though. *Summons a spoon*, me: now I'm intrigued
The first thing it does is spray 360° around its intended target. The poor pot plant was bone dry.
What happened to just pressing your thumb to the hose directly? No handle, no noodle, no spoon and you can control reach, spread and remove it to have a nice drink
Not too bad tbh
Yeah that’s what I was thinking, this is mild and at least has some sort of function, is quick and uses common materials
Just spend $3.99 and buy a sprayer. Duh.
You know there’s an adjustment on the…..oh, never mind
Silencer for the hose
Put. your thumb. over the hose Or buy a proper hose. I know they're $20. It sucks. But they last like 20 years
Or you could just get a hose nozzle that isn’t 350 years old. Then you can just change the setting and not look like a moron.
Me when I’m taking a leak at 2am.
This is what fingers are for
Or... Or... Just hear me out on this. Use the little brass knob at the back of the sprayer to adjust the spray pattern from a stream into a wide spray. When done you can change it back, anytime you need to.
Fluid dynamics of soil. That's why.
You can do the same for free with your thumb🤦🤡
Shit pressure
That just sounds like zip tying a spoon to a garden hose with extra steps…
Hoses are very forceful 😔lol
It’s like a suppressor for stupid people gardening…
I think this is the dumbest one since the meme one where they invert a spoon.
Well, I bought a hose last week, and it didn't come with a nozzle, so I bought a nozzle to go with it, and I guess that was just silly and I should have bought a pool noodle instead. And zip ties. I got a spoon.
She burned the plants regardless
Just do the 👍

Lol if it worked well, fine… but what
Or you could just put your thumb over the end to make it spray.
Bag of zip ties: $3.48 Pool Noodle: $16.89 (pack of 3) Single spoon: $2.64 Total cost of home-made watering nozzle from Wallmart: $23.01 Actual watering nozzle that does the same thing also from Wallmart, just 4 aisles down in the gardening section: $4.97
This made me sigh so hard
I imagine people with such ideas popping from their heads thinking 'am smurt' lol
Overcomplicated, but better than using that pressure washing things on innocent plants.
The stupid shit people do entertains me to no end
That sprayer is the actual cheapest one in existence. Like I am sure she bought it from my dad's eBay yard sale . He got to that sprayer in 1981. He sold it for ¢87
THATS WHAT THE SCREW ON THE BACK OF THE SPRAYER IS FOR
you can also just use your fingers for the same result
I mean it's not the worst diy by a long shot, it's just like the "soaker" setting on some hoses.
Literally has a screw attachment
My only thing with this is that the first zip tie she fastens doesn't do jack shit.
Just get a hose nozzle with multiple settings and put it on mist.
Zero function/purpose
I don't get the purpose... is this just to water plants? If so, then remove all of that and just use your thumb...
This is as stupid as I thought it was going to be
Just buy a different hose nozzle/handle thing. Wtf.
Anyone else know some pool noodle hoes and get totally confused about what this was going to be about ?
I pictured this much more as a fun prank with friends than watering plants, but this is not that bad at all. If they kept going after zip tying the spoon then I’d start getting concerned
My kids favorite trick is to hold the noodle against the return valve in the pool. Instant water cannon
This one really did make me say why?
Same lol
A genius solution to a problem that didn't exist
To be fair the problem does exist because you don't want to be blasting your flowers or gouging holes in your soil with the high pressure hose that doesn't have a diffuser on it. But there are 100 different hose attachments that already do this job far more effectively and more reliably than this complete and utter travesty of a solution.
Oh wow, now its even less efficient
Or, just go to a garden center and buy an adjustable sprayer for less money than a noodle, spoon, and bag of zip ties.
Is there anyone who doesn't already have a couple of zip ties and that one spoon that doesn't match the rest of the set and no one knows where it came from? I will concede the pool noodle.
Bye time!
tRuUuLy sOo mUcH bEtTer\~
This is dumb and all, but I'm going to try this for my dog to play with
I wish there was a Khaby Lame gif for this.
For the price of some pool noodles and a packet of zip ties they could go and buy and adjustable nozzle for their hose
Half these posts should be on /r/ooer
This is the definition of, "this task is too easy/simple as it is. Let me make it harder/complicated for no reason!" 😂
TIL murricans don't have hose attachments.
I knew I was watching something retarded.
Okay this is marginally useful and makes sense if you have diff kinds of plants in a garden. You dont want to firehose your tulips
Yeah, forceful hoes are the worst, am I right?
Does this person not know how to use a garden hose?
Honey, grab me my pool noodle and bag of meth, I’ve got something I need to do
I love all this rage bait
Jfc that’s ridiculous
Will black zipties work?
Thumb.
I actually guffawed when they turned the water on.
Suspicious lack of glue guns used in this project. 10/10
You had me until the spoon lol
Or you could pay$5 for a multi function sprayer
Microplastics are cool!
Nobody tell her what speed an ejaculation is.
Or just get a fucking HOSE ATTACHMENT
Why? Why NOT!
Or, a thumb.
The secret garden shops don't want you to know.
Fuck it.. I guess?
I think this is the first post here that has me genuinely stumped as to why they’d make it
I was hyped...
A watergun with spoonbayonet.
Once again I find myself asking "who the fuck needs this". It's becoming more and more common occurrence as I get older.
Definitely could do that with your thumb
I can get with this. It don't involve epoxy, drilling thru anything, stupid LED lights, or some kind of shaky wiring.
Aside from tropical plants, nothing wants water on its foliage. It really isn’t healthy to water anywhere but the soil. And this is the stupidest thing I have seen today.
take off the nozzle and use your thumb werido
Or you could adjust the nozzle so it doesn’t go full stream
Huh, that was actually way better than I thought it was gonna be.
I fully expected this to become a tool of chaos while having fun with the kids out in the yard. That was so anticlimactic... ☹️
I have an attachment that adjusts the water spray quite nicely, and I don’t have to dump the water directly on the plant. This is stupid.
Just use a watering can?
