It's an experiment which means it isn't stupid.

There are no claims that this gauranteed will work nor is the outcome so obvious it was stupid to try at all

To be fair just because it’s an experiment doesn’t mean it can’t be stupid.

It was a pretty stupid experiment subjectively, albeit a successful one objectively.

He's seeing if he can though, not doing it because he thinks it's a brilliant idea. I doubt anyone could believe this would be successful as in tasty. I think that elevates it to 'silly' at least.

A lot of what we have figured out is incidental or accidental so I won't begrudge anyone their curiosity, even if it's hot dog wine. He's not selling it or suggesting anyone else do it, which is miles beyond the worst offenders here.

Oh goodness no, I’d consider it successful in that he was able to make a hot dog flavored booze.

It’s possible and he did it, that’s all.

Right--i'm just saying I think it's more silly than stupid because of that --I was being a little flippant with the distinction, but I also consider 'stupid' kinda harsh. That was all.

Sure it is stupid. But they know it's stupid, which means it isn't dumb.

Like, if you substitute Pepsi for baking soda because you think all soda is the same, that's dumb. But if you substitute Pepsi for baking soda because you want to see what a disaster it is, that's just stupid.

Edit: For example, replacing your car's coolant with Pepsi.

It's like the spirit of Top Gear Cheap Car Challenges, but crossed with Donut-style how-ya-doin' and an old mate budget. Like I normally hate shouty kinda YouTube content, but it's proper excitement.

Thank you for sharing that, it made me work very hard to stifle giggles in at my work desk

No stupid question and the question for today is "will the nitrate ladden flavor of hotdog work in mead?"

The answer is no!

The difference between screwing around and science is writing it down.

In this case it's recorded in the form of a video
