Complicated hack vs simple solutionfrom @khaby.lame
[01]
Overview
The video first shows a clip of someone using a power grinder to cut a slit into a metal spoon to create a makeshift vegetable peeler. It then cuts to creator Khaby Lame, who silently and with an unimpressed expression, uses a standard, simple vegetable peeler to effortlessly peel a carrot, before gesturing to the tool as the obvious, superior solution.
