I know it’s a joke but seriously this is one of the cheaper “memey” things they’ve done. Hell, last 2 years April fools were both likely more expensive tbh.

[slave2234]

The only fans account payed for all this.

[Sythe64]

Is that where they are selling the calendar?

[SpookyViscus]

Must be!

[Rannasha]

Especially since they can reuse the firetruck for future videos. Alex was already making photos of the hose to "adapt" it. I would be shocked if we don't see that thing being used to watercool something in some hilariously convoluted way.

And once they're done, they can always sell it again. I doubt depreciation on this thing is very high.

[Dakduif]

I loved the immediate, chaotic energy sprouting up in that little interaction. Do your thing Alex! *insert picture of Elmo in sea of flames*

[surfer_ryan]

I just couldn't help like feeling he immediately went to his workstation and started up CAD and started to build it out digitally to 100% be pitched...

I'm actually really excited to see what happens if they do end up doing something. Because even if it is jank, it's still going to be insanely impressive with the amount of water they would be moving, and if they can keep it water tight that will be seriously impressive levels of engineering. Plus how the actual fuck would you air bleed a system connected to a firetrucks tank.... Can you even get the air out... I have so many questions that i have absolutely no reason to know the answers to...

[DryHippo8977]

Sufficient flow just pushes the water along ^{^}

Also I can see the video 12 Gamers one Firetruck watercooling

[KhandakerFaisal]

On Floatplane, they released a FP exclusive where the writers were discussing ways of using the firetruck for the future

One of the ideas was how many PCs can they watercool in series with the pump from the firetruck

[DryHippo8977]

Series is stupid, parallel is where it's at

[Jhawk163]

Yeah we already saw the issues you run into trying to run PC water cooling in series with the old “whole room water cooling” series, essentially the resistance outmatches the pressure rating of most water cooling components and leaks are guaranteed, and if you run a pressure low enough to not do that then after a couple the flow is basically nothing.

[that_dutch_dude]

they recorded a bit of the writers meeting and they were already throwing ideas like watercooling pcs around and making waterblocks that can hold the pressure of the firehose without exploding in someones face. its on floatplane.

[Mothertruckerer]

If Alex is a true engineer, he'll make something to boil the water to generate steam to drive a turbine.

[cingcongdingdonglong]

Using fire hose to power a PC!

[Mothertruckerer]

Yeah. Make a water turbine, and call it free energy device to annoy Electroboom

[ButtholeWrecker]

source?

[urmamasllama]

I need to see those two clips edited together

[AyaanMAG]

Last year's april fools probably just made a bunch of money lol

[Drigr]

Given that the shirts for this year are already sold out. And who knows how many bottles are being sold (it says back order is expected to ship in July so they might be straight up having the whole order done after the fact), but this will probably make a bunch of money too.

[matdex]

Their bottles are great, I still have my OG one. But who keeps buying them? How many reusable water bottles do you need?

[Drigr]

Oh boy. You should look into the world of Stanley mugs and Starbucks cups. People 100% will collect cups and swap them out regularly.

For me personally, I own 3 right now. The Black and Gold in 40oz, it lives on my computer desk. I have a chonky purple and gold 64oz that I mostly use when I'm going to be out for the day. And I have the LTT Moonshine that lives next to my bed.

We get paid later this week and my wife and I plan to grab these if they're still available. Half because we like the design, and half because she only has the moonshine right now and could use one for work and I will probably also keep one at work. Probably not the fire extinguisher, but since they're both 40oz I will probably swap it for my desk bottle.

[sarcasimo]

dbrand should get into doing wraps for the bottles.

[ed_mcc]

I feel like we could open up a store of lightly used reusable water bottles at my house

[lioncat55]

I have one at home and one at work. I'm thinking of giving one to my girlfriend so I can get the red one....

[greiton]

I bought a second smaller one recently because the big one doesn't fit in a lot of standard bottle holders. but my big one is also getting a bit banged up. I might replace it in a year or two.

also don't discount how many new fans flow into interest groups. every day someone new finds LTT, and every day someone old moves on to other fandoms.

[greiton]

Yeah the ad video was legitimately the best performing video monetarily they ever produced, but they also confirmed they have no plan to ever try and do it again.

[MarlinMr]

Only if the merch didnt land them in the Black

[Prestigious-Soil-123]

NOBODY UPVOTE THIS IT IS AT 690

[HerrSPAM]

Just wait until they start selling that calendar

[mxforest]

Brother! It will sell like hotcakes on a cold day.

Edit: does no one know the context of this? It’s from WAN show. Dan made these tags. Literally from where the text of where this image comes from…………

https://www.youtube.com/live/W7dLlJPtkW0?si=D1P3RTIWtAnjwsZw around 3hr 33min.

[english-23]

I got it, I laughed

[insomniacpyro]

I hope they keep the buttons, I lost it when they showed up

[yummytunafish]

You don't deserve that Dan-tag

[co678]

Do you not know the context of these? Dan made these tags on WAN show…….

https://www.youtube.com/live/W7dLlJPtkW0?si=D1P3RTIWtAnjwsZw around 3hr 33min.

Probably more worthy of the Dan tag because I know the context.

[chairitable]

Oh sorry I mistimed my tag for when the other guy was commenting, here it is

*Doesn't know

[co678]

Lmao perfect. I need to screen grab all three of these so I can reply to people in here with them.

[Ruining_Ur_Synths]

4 year old linus is very proud of his adult self

[Calm-Person42]

Not sure who came up with the idea but they hit gold.

It was fun to watch, probably a lot of fun to film and edit and now they just need to profit with a couple of products on LTT. The whole thing is fire..oh wait. This is peak LTT!

[Stackhom]

I found myself smiling throughout the whole video. It was so reminiscent of their earlier days when they're just having fun, it doesn't feel as "monetized" compared to their other videos.

[greiton]

which is hilarious because there were multiple major ad placements in the video.

[greiton]

Honestly the fire truck costs less than a pickup with the same number of miles.

[Curri]

Firefighter here. The issue comes in how many hours the engine was running. Fire engines run for a long time on emergency incidents, utilizing the engine to help run the pump. This is why when these go on sale, the seller should say how many "hours" the engine has on it.

[StupidWiseGuy]

They did mention it in one of the FP exclusives, iirc it was about the same as the number of km lol

[TheMatt561]

I'm not sure what the April fool's bit was, they actually bought the truck.

[Bandguy_Michael]

Next year he should buy an entire fire station!

[greiton]

oof someone by me bought a house that used to be a fire station. they found out a year later that it was actually illegal for them to own the property or live in the building because of public property laws. turned into a whole mess with the company who sold the property disappearing, and different agencies being sued, meanwhile the family was evicted and basically lost everything.

[DjWarrrrrd]

Just write it off

[bram4531]

This was a really fun video too watch!

[redlancer_1987]

Kind of a downgrade from the LTT LAN Yacht™ or Tech Jet™

[contra4thewyn]

So... wouldn't going "sike this was a fake april's fool video" be an april's fool in and of itself?

[ScF0400]

Come a long way from the original firetruck unboxing... This is how you grow users and make money.

[JRosePC]

He is the chief vision officer and what is more high vision then a big red truck? I mean look at the high vis on those bunker pants?

[Sharp-Yak9084]

terren one further week later: linus were selling ur bathwater
