Oh this dude makes good motorcycle videos.
Another unfun fact (dunno if it’s mentioned in the video) is that Teflon is a PFAS that is currently in our environment and ground water in harmful amounts, is definitely giving us cancer, and can’t be easily extracted or broken down :(
I hope we can go back to waxed coats and boots or something, soon.
Fjällräven still uses waxed stuff. Actually not even that expensive though somehow I think if I took my half as expensive Blåkläder pants and applied wax they’d be just as good.
This dude makes good videos. I’m going not a motorcycle guy but I watch his content for stuff like this video. I was also impressed by the PFAS angle this one took.
Interesting to find a RyanF9 video here and not in a motorcycle community. But yeah, probably most people here don’t have much interest in Gore-Tex unless they ride or do other outdoorsy things.
I think I stumbled across F9 for some random tech video and then stayed for the cinematography and hijinks.
Honestly hadn’t considered the neckbeard angle.
I learn so much from this channel, about things I never even knew I wanted to know about.
Already seen this one, it’s great. Good post for technology community, this vid is packed with history and science.
Wow! Do you say?

This post is an ad.

An ad for what. Certainly not Gore-Tex. Have you any idea how marketing works.
Yes the video contains a sponsored segment, like 99.9% of youtube videos. Or newspaper articles. Or any other kind of content on the internet.

The way you’ve decided to post this has made it an ad, the first think you see is “Check out brandname and get thing”. Putting a videos sponsor as the post content is generally not recommended.

It’s more about patents and trademarks than technology, would be a good submission for a business community.

This is 100% about technology, it’s really interesting.

Now that you’ve taken down the “is an ad” claim, how is this not about technology? It deals with membranes which let air pass but not water (though Gore-Tex isn’t particularly good at it).

Not an ad, but pretty questionable for a YouTuber to put a plug for their sponsor as the frontmost text, when many of us use sponsorblock to actively avoid seeing such content.
At least it’s a good warning not to click that link.

Who reads youtube description texts? On youtube, that is, it’s lemmy who puts the thing in such a prominent place. The sponsor segment is towards the end and has a count-down bar so it’s easy to skip, and Ryan specifically says to not buy that stuff if you don’t need it.
