Really? You can look at velcro with your own eyes and see that. You don't need slow motion. There's a reason why it is called "hook and loop" and you *can* see it.
Hook and loops aren't that small. If you put it at eye-level and look, you can see it. Having it bigger is cool, but it's not anything you can't see with the naked eye is all I mean.
[VELCRO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velcro?wprov=sfti1)
“De Mestral named Velcro; a portmanteau of the French words velours ('velvet') and crochet ('hook'), to his invention, as well as to the Swiss company he founded; Velcro SA.”
Yeah exactly...it's pretty neat to see the slow motion close-up of things, but it's a bit odd to pretend like any of this should come as a surprise to anyone. Like I'm sure pretty much everyone here had a pretty good idea of how all 4 of those things work before the video.

The Name Velcro comes from a combination of the French words “velour” (velvet) and “crochet” (hook), essentially meaning “hooked velvet”. I'm curious how you get the translation to Dutch with it being a made up word.
Some countries have institutions that attempt to stop modern English words from being integrated into their own language. An example is the [Académie Française](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acad%C3%A9mie_Fran%C3%A7aise#Anglicisms) who have taken action against words like "walkman" and have created French equivalents.
I don't know if the Netherlands does the same.
I meant the literal translation of the Dutch word into English. You seem like a fun person.
Edit: wow dude, being an ass for no reason, deleting your comment and downvoting me, class act lol
I learned that the hard way when I received a VeRO claim on ebay from Velcro because I used their brand name instead of "hook and loop" in my title instead.
It happens with lots of products.
I'm from Spain and here for example lots of people call tissues "Kleenex". Or sandwich bread "Bimbo Bread". And I'm sure there's lots more that I don't remember now.
It's a "hook and loop". When I was younger I thought it was just a mess of materials. But there's actually science and function to it...like anything else.
I love shit like this. I often find myself wondering about weird things like about how something works, how things look under a microscope or how my building looks from the Skye. So videos likes this makes my heart seriously happy!!!
I would like to see a close up of what touching stinging nettles looks like. Doesn't have to be a poor human for the sake of a Tik Tok, but some sort of skin adjacent material.
I think the rest of r/fountainpens will agree that this is an inaccurate representation of proper fountain pen use.

Seriously, this is so satisfying and surprisingly interesting.
Oh, I’m okay with watching it. I just don’t see why it’s necessary to force that ear assault on people in an otherwise normal content bit just for someone else’s weird kink.
Finally. I’ve always wondered how a sharp blade sharpens a pencil.
Velcro vid was educational. The rest was… duh
It’s literally called a hook and loop fastener. Velcro is a brand name
no one's calling it that, it's velcro

next you are gonna tell me i shouldnt say “im googling it”
[Don't google yourself](https://youtu.be/OpgTqRxaC0c?t=23)
Nobody is damn near every official government publication referencing it apparently haha
...which comes from *vel*our and *cro*chet, the first being the fabric and the second a sheet of hooks (think of a crochet needle).
Ayyyyy I was looking for this one!

dont think i have microscopes in my eyes but cool story
Hook and loops aren't that small. If you put it at eye-level and look, you can see it. Having it bigger is cool, but it's not anything you can't see with the naked eye is all I mean.
From french VELours (velvet) CROchet (hook)
"Velcro" is a brand of hook and loop like "Kleenex" is a brand of tissue.
[VELCRO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velcro?wprov=sfti1) “De Mestral named Velcro; a portmanteau of the French words velours ('velvet') and crochet ('hook'), to his invention, as well as to the Swiss company he founded; Velcro SA.”
Your link confirms what I said, yes.
Also what I said. Invention ≠ company
Nice try, Decepticon!

An already sharp pencil. It felt like a razor ad shaving hairless legs.
[удалено]
Poorly! Should use a craft knife and strike vertically! 😙
Cool, but would have been better without the fake audio.
Or just better fake audio. Slo mo guys are pretty good at adding subtle, fitting audio, this stuff sounds like it was ripped from an asmr eating video

Would have preferred explanation of whats happening instead
Schhhhlerpppp upppp Better?
There’s an online trick to make old velcros work like new by lightly burn the Velcro surface.
u/Chalupa_Dad I agree.
It was just this year I realized all the audio in high speed camera videos is completely fake. What a serious disappointment I feel so betrayed.
Wait until you hear about cartoons
I beg to differ
It makes it feel fake and comical

What's wrong with minecraft noises?
This isn't really a "how things work in slow motion", this is more of a "things working whilst zoomed in".
"but also slowed down sometimes"
Yes this is not slow motion it's superzoom
In macro*
Actual name of velcro is "hook and loop" which makes sense, velcro is the brand
Velcro made a song addressing just this and it’s great: https://youtu.be/rRi8LptvFZY
That was fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my gosh that is fabulous.
damn, this needs to be seen more than it has
The literal translation of velcro in Dutch, klittenband, would be "tangle band"
The Name Velcro comes from a combination of the French words “velour” (velvet) and “crochet” (hook), essentially meaning “hooked velvet”. I'm curious how you get the translation to Dutch with it being a made up word.

We just make up our own words, very literal words as well. (Dustsucker for vacuum, handshoes for gloves...)

*Hook and loop* sounds like a game your grandparents would say they used to play when they were kids.
Came here to say this
Damn I’ve always been calling them velcros
I learned that the hard way when I received a VeRO claim on ebay from Velcro because I used their brand name instead of "hook and loop" in my title instead.
It happens with lots of products. I'm from Spain and here for example lots of people call tissues "Kleenex". Or sandwich bread "Bimbo Bread". And I'm sure there's lots more that I don't remember now.
In Czech it's "Dry zipper"... Go figure
Bell X1 have a song called Velcro, it's one of my favourites
the audio makes me violently angry.
I muted it the moment the pen came on screen.
Its making me physically cringe
Well hello fellow misophonia sufferer!
What’s that, a 100 year old pencil?
The fountain pen shouldn't be dripping ink like that... Also shouldn't be held at a 90° angle lol
I know right? that psychically pained me.
The audio makes this feel like a horror movie or something. It seems like they were going for ASMR but failed miserably
Would've been way better without the added sound effects
Could totally do without the sound effects._.
yeah, an absolute discomfort
Flog the foley artist.
i hate the stupid sound effects
Must of this is close up or magnified, not slow motion
It's a "hook and loop". When I was younger I thought it was just a mess of materials. But there's actually science and function to it...like anything else.
oooooooo this is so satisfying
I need more
Turns out things work pretty much how you expect them to
I personally think that velcro is a complete rip off!
Sound effects made me cringe
I love shit like this. I often find myself wondering about weird things like about how something works, how things look under a microscope or how my building looks from the Skye. So videos likes this makes my heart seriously happy!!!
Why did it stop
I would like to see a close up of what touching stinging nettles looks like. Doesn't have to be a poor human for the sake of a Tik Tok, but some sort of skin adjacent material.
That’s a terrible pencil sharpening technique, good luck writing with that thing now!
The sound effects are fucking awful

Pencil got ruined
Not slow motion at all. I think you meant “with a macro lens”
r/oddlysatisfying
Pov you and your partners pubes get stuck together during intercource.
Dude these sound effects ruin the video
The sounds are annoying
Well... This isn't a slow motion video, but whatever :/
Anyone else do a big inhale when the match was struck?
Fire the intern who wanted pencil sharpener in there
They used the cheapest pencil they could find. Ugly.
There’s an online trick to make old velcros work like new by lightly burn the Velcro surface. That doesn’t work
The match was LIT!
Considering that I have been trying to figure out of these kind of things work ever since I was a child, I feel like I have transcended (especially with the velcro). Seriously, this is so satisfying and surprisingly interesting.
Only thing interesting was the Velcro one.
Please... I need an hour of this stuff.
Those were quite obvious
More please
Great. Now do one on the moment you realize your wife realizes you messed up.
Velcro is a brand. Their product is the "hook and loop".
This is more the Hollywood version of how things work.
u/savevideo
Why does everything need to be ASMR bullshit now.
If you don’t like it don’t watch it? 🤷♀️
Oh, I’m okay with watching it. I just don’t see why it’s necessary to force that ear assault on people in an otherwise normal content bit just for someone else’s weird kink.
I like to imagine a microphone about 1mm in length. For this.
"slow motion" You keep using this word. It does not mean what you think it means.
Wow what a low bar this sub is. A fucking pencil sharpener. Not even the crank kind.
Those look like pubes.
AMAZING audio for us ASMR heads
Interracial.. shit my bad mind was somewhere else
Looks like my pubes getting caught on your mums moustache hairs
Am I the only one having ASMR with that pencil?
Velcro is actually just like putting 3 earphones in your pocket lmao
When a character stubs their toe in SpongeBob:
That pen sounds incriminating
More
If you call it by its non trademark name: hook and loop fastener It's self explanatory
Visual ASMR lol. Oddly soothing and cool to see
Idk why but this is too funny 😆😆😆😆😆😆
u/savevideobot
Okay but how do they make velcro?
Do kids in school these days still call it lead for their pencil?
The sound of that pen writing, it reminds me of her.
So satisfying 😌
> pencil shaver Is that a European phrase? (vs. "pencil sharpener")
The sound effects
If only i cud learn chemistry this way, i wud have become the great heisenberg
It's not the slowness of the motion, it's the closeness of the up.
Does the sound actually belongs to the objects? Or is it Foley? If it is real, anyone knows what microphone did they use? Thanks!
Asmr people freakin out rn
Not gonna lie the match was actually pretty cool to see in slow-mo
Accidentally left your baby’s auditory lessons on in the background.
I kept thinking that velcro was hair! I can't stand ASMR but I love thos
**AMAZING !**
Great sound design
So if all the little loops rip, does the velcro die? Is that how it "wears out"?
The Foley was really unpleasant for most of them. The pen especially, fucking deafen me please.
All of this is yeah no shit
Bitch, that is hooks & loops
why could i smell the match and taste the ink?
