I thought this was a well written break-down of different shapes: www.saraheberle.com/understanding-the-various-shap…
It’s interesting that so many different companies have their own proprietary shape etc, but I can’t find any scientific research to back any of it up. Fascinating!

Robert subscribed then hit the bell. Be more like Robert. In all seriousness I was impressed by how quickly he came up with a well thought out, nuanced hypothesis without even a moment’s notice. Huge thanks to Robert. Also, a huge thanks to everyone who supports Smarter Every Day on Patreon at www.patreon.com/smartereveryday Thank you! Destin

Robert's a real one, good call on asking him to be involved. He really added to the video and made a great outro.
-
Robert: "It seems likely that this line, being lighter and possessing a smaller diameter, would travel at a greater velocity, perhaps facilitating a cleaner cut." Destin: "ShARp shARP sQuaRE"
-
"random weedeater dude we picked off the street suggested we calculate the linear density of each wire". Never change Destin. Your enthusiasm and good nature are a contagious blessing.
-
I love Robert’s humility when he doesn’t consider himself an expert, yet works with a string trimmer 8-10 hours per day. Compared to me, a weekend warrior, he’s a freaking professor in the art of weed wacking! ❤️
-
Robert seriously just showed up and dropped mad knowledge then dipped What a madman
-
The fact that Robert is not objecting and play along is quite admirable
-
This Robert guy was so entertaining, id love to see him in another video. Seems like a chill dude
-
Robert is probably the best guest that you have had on here for the reason of him just randomly being there and you pulling him in because of his expertise with weed eaters.
-
I wish I had the courage to just yell out "HEY WEED EATER MAN" to someone I don't know, and ask them to come over.
-
I love how Destin took the liberty of asking Robert's opinion, it gives us an in the field perspective and makes the video feel more authentic
-
8:50 I love how Robert the Weed Eater dude came in and improved the experiment almost immediately.
-
One main problem I see is the tension put on the blade of grass. In the “field” the blade is sorta just hanging there freely, I think it messed with the dynamics of the cut by putting the blade of grass under tension…and we’d see very different behavior if only one end was held in place and the other allowed to dangle freely.
-
Robert: I'm no expert. Also Robert: Lemme school you up on linear density.
-
Destin: "Random weed eater guy! check this out!" Weed eater guy: "I suggest you should weigh each line in a certain length and calculate its linear density"
-
Destin: HEY WEED EATER MAN! Robert: what in th-
-
Robert: I wouldn't say expert Also Robert is clearly an expert This is the less often seen end of the Dunning-Krueger effect.
-
Idk why but Robert gave off the friendly like “oh how nice this dudes making a little YouTube video” vibes (but like not in a bad or demeaning way like a genuinely interested and helpful way) so I like to think when he subscribed at the end he was all “oh wow he’s got 8 million subscribers this isn’t little at all”
-
This is totally one of those "if you told me 10 years ago I'd spend 16 minutes watching a video about weed eater line and be riveted by it I'd have called you crazy" moments.
-
I love how much more Alabama Destin's voice gets when he is talking to a neighbour as opposed to the camera
