The Best How-To Channel On YouTube, a Sampling of 11 Valuable Lessons

By ( ) Comments

One of the best, most practical things the Internet can do is provide you with instructions on how to do things that you don’t know how to do. Things like how to write a cover letter, how to tie a tie, or how to make it in America (all common Google searches). But what about the billions upon billions of more mundane things? Things like how to open a door with a toaster, how to take a valve out of a shoe, or how to touch a wall with an apple? Well, the HowToDoAnythingTV channel on YouTube has you covered. It seems they are making a valiant effort to create how-to videos for all the things, starting with the most obscure. I applaud them for their public service.

Below, we have a sampling of a mere 11 of the exceedingly valuable lessons you can learn from HowToDoAnythingTV. Now, you may already be familiar with how to do some of these things, but in that case, I urge you to pay close attention to the technique displayed. The man in the videos is a master, and while you may already know how to throw a dirty sock on the floor, you can learn a lot from the way he does it.

1. How to throw a dirty sock on the floor. We’ll start out with one of the simpler ones. Pay close attention to the deftness of his release. Poetry in motion.

2. How to stretch a dirty sock. Note: The method for stretching clean socks is distinctly different.

3. How to touch a wall with an apple. Notice the extreme importance of having a thumb.

4. How to take a valve out of a shoe. Unfortunately, we’re still waiting on a video about how to make a valve release Half-Life 3.

5. How to take a shoe out of a shoe. When necessary, this process can be performed immediately before any process in which another object is removed from either shoe.

6. How to open a door with a toaster. Curiously, the step in which the toaster is unplugged seems to be omitted. Then again, I’m not the one making the how-to videos.

7. How to take a LAN card from the top of a hard drive. A must-know for all you technology geeks out there.

8. How to get 100 billion views on YouTube. It must be a slow burn. The video isn’t quite there yet.

9. How to turn water into wine in the dark. Done in the dark to hide your shameful heresy from God, presumably.

10. How to put a piece of cheese on a tire. You’re in for a treat here. Bloopers are included. Most of the mistakes are ones that anyone would make, but many of them are quite chuckle-worthy, I do say. Indeed.

11. How to turn off caps lock. Commenters take note!

Of course this is but a smattering of the wealth of knowledge available at HowToDoAnythingTV’s YouTube channel. If there’s anything in particular you’re curious about, you’re in luck; HowToDoAnythingTV takes requests! Happy doing, everybody.

    Dear Sir/M,
    I am Mr.David Mark. an Auditor of a BANK OF THE NORTH
    INTERNATIONAL,ABUJA
    (FCT). I have the courage to Crave indulgence for
    this important business
    believing that you will never let me down
    either now or in the future. Some
    years ago, an American Mining
    consultant/ contractor with the Nigeria National
    Petroleum Corporation,
    made a numbered time (fixed)deposit for twelve calendar
    months, valued
    $12M.USD (TWELVE MILLION US DOLLARS) in an account. On maturity,
    The
    bank sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no
    reply.
    After a month, The bank sent another reminder and finally his
    contract
    employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation wrote
    to inform the bank
    that he died without MAKING A WILL, and all attempts
    by the American Embassy to
    trace his next of kin was fruitless. I
    therefore, made further investigation and
    discovered that the
    beneficiary was an immigrant from Jamaica and only recently
    obtained
    American citizenship. He did not decla re any kin or relations in all
    his official documents, including his Bank deposit paper work. This
    money total
    amount$12M.USD ( TWELVE MILLION US DOLLARS)is still sitting
    in my bank as
    dormant Account. No one will ever come forward to claim
    it, and according to
    Nigerian Banking policy, after some years, the
    money will revert to the
    ownership of the igerian Government if the
    account owner is certified dead. This
    is the situation, and my proposal
    is that I am looking for a foreigner who will
    stand in as the next of
    kin to beneficiary, and OPEN a Bank Account abroad to
    facilitate the
    transfer of this money. This is simple, all you have to do is to
    OPEN
    an account anywhere in the world and send me its detail for me to
    arrange
    the proper money transfer paperwork, and facilitate the
    transfer.The money will
    then be paid into this Account for us to share
    in the ratio of 60% for me, 35 %
    for you and 5% for expenses that might
    come up during transfer process. There is
    no risk at all, and all the
    paper work for this transaction will be done by me
    using my position
    and connections in the banks in Nigeria. This business
    transaction is
    guaranteed.And the first phase of the transfer will be ($4M.USD)
    FOUR
    MILLION DOLLARS as advised by our insider in the bank.If you are
    interested, please reply immediately through my personal email sending
    the
    following details: (1) Your Full Name/Address (2) Your Private
    Telephone/fax
    Number. Please observe the utmost confidentiality, and be
    rest assured that this
    transaction would be most profitable for both of
    us because I shall require your
    assistance to invest some of my share
    in your country. I look forward to your
    earliest reply.
    Yours,
    Mr.David
    Mark.
