The Twitch streamer Eric “Erobb221” Robbins has taken on a very special challenge: filling a bathtub.
What is this special challenge? The Twitch streamer Erobb221 set himself the task in a Twitch stream to fill a bathtub with water. However, not in the conventional way, but armed only with a teaspoon. He dyed the water red so that it was better visible for his viewers, set up two cameras, and emphasized that he would only turn off the stream once the bathtub was full.
The reason: He lost a bet against his Twitch colleague Jasontheween in the shooters Call of Duty and Counter-Strike. As a penalty, a wheel was spun with various absurd projects, and it eventually landed on the bathtub. In addition, Erobb221 wanted to impress a woman and thus a potential date with the absurd things he gets into.
Twitch streamer spends twice as long on project as initially thought
Erobb221 massively miscalculated the scope of the challenge. He thought he would need “only” 12 hours to fill it, but it ended up taking almost 35 hours total. After 34 hours and 43 minutes, the Twitch streamer could end his stream.
How does the community react? Under various Reddit posts, some users refer to the absurd action as Erobb221’s “Magnum Opus” (Source: Reddit) or as “his definitely greatest success” (Source: Reddit).
Another Reddit user made it his task to calculate how many extra liters Erobb221 had to fill into the bathtub to compensate for evaporation. He concluded that the Twitch streamer needed to fill about 6.3 liters extra into the bathtub. That’s equivalent to 1,260 additional teaspoons and 42 extra minutes (Source: Reddit).
Other streamers have also been drawn into absurd projects in live streaming. That Twitch is no longer just a platform for purely gaming content has long been clear. This is also proven by the butcher who streams his work life live on Twitch: A master butcher streams his daily life on Twitch and 10,000 people love it
