  In the second video he mentions the rice isn't going to be wasted, but I was pretty grossed out when he shoved that keyboard in there. Of course the rice will probably be washed but, totally blech.

  I would have just measured the rice with a scale. Counting it out is certainly more TikTok votes, but I have a scale to 3 significant digits and counting this one at a time seems like a waste. Comically, I think I could order the scale with four hour delivery and count by weight faster than this person counted one at a time.

    The whole point of doing it one at a time was to show the scale. Completing it quickly was not the goal

      I think it was scale of the grains of rice. Not the scale of how long it takes to count to 10,000.
