    The coffee grounds for fixing wood dents is similar to the walnut hack – walnuts contain walnut oil which is used as a woodstain, but it's naturally only gonna work if your wood is a similar colour to walnut. Or just buy a woodstain. Mum's also used copic markers. (She stopped me using a walnut on my cedar desk because walnut is much darker and won't make the mark 'disappear' so much as go black.)

    With the glass bottle decoration, I remember making a “stained glass” look by using various color tissue paper as a kid- but you use normal glue with a brush, brushing it on the bottle and on top of the paper, which is what I think they are attempting to do in the fake craft video. I love your willingness to attempt this, though. Would be interesting to see one using dried out used filters so the coloring would be more random.

    Also I hope everyone just brings their coffee grounds to the nearest compost collection (farmers markets, public parks, ask your local sanitation dept) if they don’t have a worm bin or etc at home to make compost. Sometimes the place that collects the compost materials will even sell a small bag of the compost they’ve made which then you can use for your plants 🙂 Straight coffee grounds is likely a bit acidic for many plants, and like someone said, may mold over time. Plants that like acidic soil may like the water that you rinse your carafe with (no soap or etc though); I used it to perk up a sad xygo cactus.

    Good Video.

    But since we are here talking about false information on the internet a word about LOMI. LOMI is, to put it bluntly, close to a scam.
    The claims to reduce waste are not directly false, but compared to ordinary coposting, the devices obviously perform worse. This is simply because they require energy to grind and heat the compost.
    In addition, the LOMI machines do not produce finished compost, but the shredded waste should be further composted.
    So if you, Morgan, or anyone reading this uses a LOMI, do the environment a favor, save the energy and use a regular compost bin. And save all that money on a useless kitchen appliance that does nothing more than a compost bucket.

    Also for the pants I think it would be easier to just buy machine safe black dye and dye them in the washing mashine. In my country u can get it in grocery stores. But if not Amazon should do the job. It won't come out fast and it is safe and more efficient lol

    That Lomi thing looks completely unnecessary for anyone who has an outdoor garden. High-rise apartment dwellers? That's another story.

    Also, it seems you have the job qualifications to become a mythbuster…

    I know that sponsors pay the bills and I'm never gonna criticise someone for taking a sponsorship on their video; however you really don't need a complex and expensive Lomi or anything like that to make compost. You can get very cheap, small bins that will do. After all, you just need to let the stuff decompose. Most good quality ones are odorless too. And if you ARE worried about odor, you can put it outside and use a small "go between" bin in the kitchen.

    So… I mean… throwing a cup of coffee in with your wash like an additive… well, it is not going to hurt your machine at all, they are designed to be full of all kinds of harsh liquids as well as all kinds of food & beverage that might be on clothes… but on the other hand, it's not nearly the same thing as soaking a garment in pure coffee for an extended period. The wash cycle is going to immediately dilute the coffee, and while you'd still quite possibly noticeably stain white clothes, you're not going to make a serious impact on faded blacks.
    I'd also be careful with coffee directly on your plants… piles of wet coffee grounds are gonna mold. It's fine in the garden, and I guess it might be okay if you mixed it into the soil during a repotting. Or you could add your coffee grounds to your compost and use the results of that process as nitrogen-rich soil in a year or two.
    Okay, also…. I gotta say… the coffee as deodorizer might work great, but it's not going to be useful as coffee afterwards (and you won't want to use used grounds because they will be wet and moldy and in any case have lost most of their aromatic compounds that are probably doing the heavy lifting in this use case) … so… y'know… baking soda is just going to be more practical and do the same thing. And is also less likely to make things taste like coffee that you don't want tasting like coffee.
    I got nothing to say about the wood scratches or the bottle tho, I'm just rolling my eyes, heh. Ok, no, one small thing… I'm pretty sure they were trying to suggest that the unbleached filters were used filters. Which they obviously aren't, but y'know, they do stupid fake 'hacks' all the time and clearly have a very low opinion of their viewers intelligence.

    Backstage brat. In fact, the late Ned Beatty's eldest child.
    Tea is often used in Theatre as a dye because white can be awkward under stage lighting.
    Coffee was also used to darken tea dyed white for various causes….

    I have a random tidbit about coffee deodorizer. I am a poor. I used to work an office job and one day our boss took us and another coworker out for lunch and he said “ sorry I had to take my wife’s car today”. It was a that-year model bmw coupe. Brand new. So fancy. But small. And in the car were these like cornhole satchels? But fancy, made of linen. I asked what those were and he said that his wife had just purchased the car. She didn’t like the new car smell of the leather seats and so bought these custom deodorizers to get rid of the smell. It was coffee beans in the linen satchels. So fancy. What a strange world one class above lives lolol

    So I’m doing the dye hack. I bought a vintage corset online knowing it probably won’t fit but I knew I could sew an extra panel of black fabric on the back. I have some old black jeans I am going to use but that are faded and seem about three shade too light but now I’m going to use Morgan’s hack to help me with my project😌

    Lomi is a terrible product. The amount of energy it uses to desiccate your food waste completely offsets any green benefit. This product is putting more greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere as the compost it makes will still produce methane and there is a massive carbon cost to even run it.
