He did demonstrate it that way, specifically with a carrot. And it somewhat worked. The problem is they programmed it to do more and more pressure every time it fails meaning that doing the carrot first actually caused a safety issue. He only moved onto his finger because the safety feature seemed to be working.
Comment on A YouTuber let the Cybertruck close on his finger to test the new sensor update. It didn't go well.

Feel like this could have been demonstrated with a hot dog

The engineer told him the frunk increases in pressure every single time it closes and detects resistance, Judkins said. It’s going to assume you want to close the frunk and maybe something like a bag is getting in the way, which would make it close harder.
Geniuses.

Because I am the bag commander. If I want the bag to fit, and it doesn’t fit, I’d better crush it!

With that association - can Apple, Tesla etc marketing be generalized into something to be put into law?
To fucking ban those companies and make their patents public domain (or make them expire, not sure of the term).
I don’t care if a Google or two get stomped as a bonus.

No, it has to be something bigger than the panel gap

He tested it with multiple similar objects.
LesserAbe@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Then he wouldn’t get nearly as many views. Or have articles written about him
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Or a penis.
1984@lemmy.today 6 months ago
Wouldn’t get so many YouTube views right…

Or a chicken drumstick for somewhat similar bone strength.

Is this the dipstick that tried it with a carrot, it cut the tip off and then said he was going to try it with his finger to be sure?
essteeyou@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I don’t see “dipstick” in the wild very often, but I always appreciate it. Are you English by any chance?
nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 6 months ago
I am not. I had a vulgar word there, and decided to tone it down a little.

A baby carrot
It takes about the same force to bite through a baby carrot as it does to bite through a finger
As long as the carrot is pretty close to the size of the finger you’re wishing to stimulate
I wish I didn’t know that

This isn’t true, and I know it as a fact. I’m not gonna tell you how I know, but I know.

You need calcium.

Having done my time as an Army medic, this is incorrect. It takes more force than that, but less than you might think. A good 25 kilos with some velocity (and mass) behind it will easily sever a phalange. Up it to 50 or 80 kilos and you can claim an arm or shin. Mass is the real killer. I’ve seen a vehicle at comically slow speed absolutely yeet someone because it had several tons of momentum behind it.

Casual readers might remember a recent very low-speed collision that nonetheless caused a catastrophic failure due to the tens of thousands of tons of weight. The MV Dali vs. the Francis Scott Key Bridge, if you didn’t guess. It struck the bridge at about 8 mph.

Fortunately I don’t think that’s strictly accurate. Try biting through a chicken wing its not as easy as a carrot.
