For the past couple of months, my washer had been acting up. It wouldn't start by simply closing the lid. I had to use some force or bang the lid to start the cycle. Tonight, it had enough. I spent 15 minutes slamming and banging the damn thing and nothing. Finally, i googled "washer doesn't start after closing lid" and then youtubed, "replace lid switch". bam! 20 minutes later (it took 15 min just to put the cabinet back on correctly) i hear the sweet sound of the cycle. i didn't even have to replace the switch. i just bent the metal lever that's attached to the lid enough to trigger the switch. apparently, it warped out of place. this could have easily been $100 if i called a repair man. thanks to youtube, i've also changed the belt on the dryer, replaced the flame sensor on the gas heater (this was scary stuff), and repaired a leaky toilet issue. i know before youtube you could probably find instructions on how to do these things. but, nothing gives you confidence like watching it done live and with ease. anyhow, just thought i'd share. before you call an appliance repair man, plumber, or mechanic, give youtube a shot. that is your PSA for the day.
YouTube is great. It has everything. 1. Google 2. YouTube . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . Facebook If I used Wikipedia more, I'm sure I could rank it higher.
YouTube has taught me how to cut my own hair. Saves me about 3,000 yen every month. Funny thing is, I've been getting more compliments since cutting my own hair versus going to the barber. Thank you, YouTube.
There was one video I watched "How to fold a shirt" where this guy does it in about 5 seconds. Just picks it up at a specific spot, and boom. I tried it about 30 times, but never had any luck. I hate folding shirts so much!! I did use it to learn how to tie a tie though. Pugs
Youtube has taught me how to make a flower (rose?) from a simple tissue paper. Tried it on the gf and she liked it. Thanks, Youtube!
I watched Amanda Seyfried and Megan Fox make out without having to sit through the other 90 minutes of drivel that was "Jennifer's Body." Thanks You Tube!
For a guy like me who was raised by a single mother and don't know jack about cars (I can cook, though!), youtube has saved me some cash on simple car stuff, too. It's pretty amazing.
About the only time I use Youtube is when somebody on Clutchfans embeds a video. I've read the stats on how popular it is but just didn't get it. This thread helps me understand.
YouTube is currently teaching me how to play salsa piano, which for whatever reason has been hitherto difficult for me to grasp. In the past, it has taught me how to fold a T-shirt and repair my toilet.
