'News for your neurons', or those of you who have some

Right. Im fucking sick of this. I am through to the back fucking teeth.

DEAR WIRED.COM COMMENTORS,

YOUR COMMENTS FUCKING SUCK. ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID. AM I SPEAKING IN SMALL ENOUGH SENTENCES FOR YOU. CAN YOU READ THIS WITHOUT CAPS LOCK. try this. oh, you can't. SORRY I MEAN OH, YOU CAN'T. ergh, i give up already.


-Case 01-

Ok lets start with todays one. It's an article about electric fish. You know, eels & stuff. Utterly fascinating. Anyway, the comments: You probably won't believe me so i took a screenshot:


..What the hell?
"Hi guys, just in case for some reason you can't read the last 4 comments, thought i'd just let you know 100hz is a low buzz and not a high whine, even though obviously, such descriptions are entirely relative."
I can't decide if these guys have some mental condition which makes them assume Wired can only read their comments; or if they all had some extreme derren-brown-subliminal-brainwash moment and just mindlessly re-iterated the first thing they saw in their peripheral vision, instead of whatever they meant to put. Any thoughts?


-Case 02-

Ok this is one that comes up every fucking time an article contains the word evolution in it. This article is on Darwin. Yeh, can you believe a science mag did an article evolution? Oh yeh! They so went there. Wired have - and i would normally disagree with censorship, but here i think it is totally justified- removed the bulk of troll comments. Never the less, odd gems remain:

“— and there are lots of big, unanswered questions”. That’s why it’s a therory, [sic] not a law.

200 years later and 64% of the American populace still realizes that intelligent design makes more sense than evolution. Only 26% of the population is so close-minded they won’t look at the evidence that doesn’t support their theory.

Posted by: Scott | 02/12/09 | 3:24 am
Science gone mad. Using scientific method, noone could be serious that evolution makes sense. Find a new theory and stop trying to be clever.

What.. the hell? What kind of magazine did these people imagine they were reading? Its got "WIRED SCIENCE" written across the top in full capitals, bright green ones at that. Were these people expecting some kind of creationist sermon? Ok so even you honestly believe your religion cannot co exist with evolution, that's not an excuse to be a moron.. right?


-Case 03-

Here's another one, that, being a SCIENCE magazine, wired cannot help but occasionally report on. It's about the environment, and how some scientists have been able to peg down environmental thresholds before human civilisation is threatened. Note, it is a SCIENCE magazine, reporting on what some scientists say they have found.



Ah, the good old 'We-armchair-readers-know-better-than-trained-scientists' brigade.. it wouldn't be a wired post without them. Again: what did they think they were reading? "Oh hey, look at this mag! they've got an article on earth science! What are they, some kind of SCIENCE MAGAZINE!?" I think you're getting my point by now.


-Case 04-

Finally, although by no means the last example- jeez, we've barely scratched the surface here- a potentially ethical article. The article basically says some scientists have found that torture is a flawed method of interrogation because stress affects recall negatively, as well as affecting memory function itself in prolonged cases. Note that the article doesn't really touch on any ethical or moral ideas about torture.
Not that wired commentors would have noticed.

Posted by: PJW11 | 09/21/09 | 1:33 pm

So torture is bad. Alrighty then, we have the moral high ground. At least until it gets blown up from underneath us. It’s like being a pacifist yet expecting a police officer to defend you if you’re being burglarized, you can’t demand security from groups willing to torture you and then pick and choose how you will be defended.

For those of you who don't speak moron, I offer a translation: "dddduuugh, cant read."

Posted by: PR3DA7OR1AL | 09/21/09 | 2:59 pm
Waterboarding, sleep deprivation, stress positions (such as seperating one from many) and the exploitation of phobias are all used TO BREAK A PERSON DOWN TO AN EMOTIONAL LEVEL.

Again: Probably cant read. Yes, torture breaks people down to an emotional level. Congratulations. Now go back and read the article again and observe what it has to say about that emotional level interfering with memory reliability. You are looking for information remember.. not emotions.. remember? Oh, maybe you just didn't care. I get the feeling your interest in torture has absolutely nothing to do with military intelligence. So why comment on the article? Just get yourself on down to your local BDSM club!


Oh, i could go on and on. Take for example, how the comments on this and this article completely disagree about wired's ulterior agenda for Apple. It's just bizarre. Where the hell do these readers come from? Maybe they should do an article about that.

With half the race gone, theres only half the race still to go

In my [second from] last post i left you guys on a cliffhanger, wondering whether the next post would be today, tomorrow or yesterday. If you correctly guessed 'today', congratulations! You must be psychic, you freak!!


Back in my latter teen years, i lived with my dad in a little 2-bedroom terraced cottage in the village. Downstairs we had a little kitchen, and a dingy bathroom, but there was no living room. Instead, the huge area of space formerly the lounge was my dad's office.

My father is an 'engineer consultant', meaning folks hire him to design engine parts [for cars, bikes & others] and/or explain to them why their previous rubbish designs have gone horridly wrong. His desks- and usually the chairs, floor and rest of the room- would be covered in drawing tools, A1 design sheets, computers & peripherals and most interestingly- aluminum prototypes of the parts he was working on. He would bring them back from the factory and conveniently dump them on the floor in the one spot i was most likely to trip over or bash into them- a careless injury we both fell victim to several times, but he just never seemed to learn from.

I would come in from school or college each day and it wasn't hard to tell how my dad's day had been. Some days i would be flatly ignored. Other days i'd walk in to be greeted by an ecstatic HELLO!; have some cylinder head model shown to me and asked what did i think. In pretty much both cases i hadn't a clue what i was supposed to say.

Given the good relationship i have with my dad, the fact i lived in his office a few years and met many of his colleagues, it does seem strange that i've never been exposed much to the industry he works in. I've never been to any races before so the racing industry is an alien world to me. So, when he invited me, it was with mixed anticipation that i went along to see his latest project working for Embassy Racing, WF01, race at Silverstone, in the final round of this years Le Mans Test Series.

Le Mans, 'The grand prix of endurance racing' is the grand prix for sports cars. Unlike formula one- a dull sprint for race drivers in prototypes that are only built to survive the race- These are actually intended to be real cars for real people on real roads. The main race lasts a full 24 hours(!). It is accompanied by the test series- in which cars race for, oh, "only" 6 hours. Also, rather than the Formula1-esque procession around the track, four classes race at different speeds on the track at the same time. Each car only competes with other cars in the same class, but they all have to negotiate each others traffic. The race the long, cars often do not make it to the end and positions are constantly changing.

Saturday was test day, and rich-people-get-your-old-museum-cars-out day, so we went down to the pits to check up on Team WFR - formerly Embassy Racing until they went bankrupt last year- and their car, WF01.
Apparently the night before they'd had, well, a bit of a crash. The back half of the body work was in a big pile lying around outside, with dazed mechanic dude casually picking bits up wondering what would be good to take home for the kids.




fortunately, race teams pack spares, so the car won't be racing like this.




As you can i see.. it was one of those times when i didn't think to bring a camera. Hence the shakey pics off my dads phone.

Surprisingly, I didn't get bored, to both my and my dads delight, in fact i enjoyed it so much i agreed to come back the next day for the full 6 hour course.

The car did pretty damn well. About an hour in it reached 3rd place in P2 class. It then reached 2nd place which it held for an hour, causing my dad to bounce around in his seat. Then, with a couple of hours left, something went wrong and they had to get back to the pits. Apparently something to do with a generator? They lost a lot of time but got it back out. The car made up laps and managed to get 4th place, respectable given the circumstances. The final race results are here (p2 class are in blue). And, if you're really sad and geeky, the timings and mid-race results are here.

We didn't leave empty handed though, dad went back to the pits to pick up something dazed mechanic dude had promised for him- a trophy from the smashed car body work, which, having also designed, he was immensely pleased with. When we got home he cut it in half and gave me half.. which was pretty immense. So: if u ever see a chunk of carbon fibre lying around in my room, you all know what it's from.



If you look closely at the first picture you can probably work out where it's from.. it's off the main chunk, at the bottom- which was once originally the middle in between the back wheels. The lump goes over a joint in the rear wheel suspension. The edges have been taped over with gaffa tape, after he cut his finger on the rough edge earlier. At least that's one careless injury he did learn from.

Peado on the street

Guys, i need your advice. I think there's a peado on our street, and i'm not sure what to do. Ok i'll explain.
Yesterday i was walking back to the house and the weird neighbour guy was hanging around outside his house with the kids of our street like he often does. He looks kinda old and sleazy you know like how peados do. And he started talking to me and asked my name, then pointed to himself and slowly goes 'Clarence' like i'm some non-english-speaking polish person. And the kids go, 'you can call him Clary' which is a shit name but its like he's got them all used to his presence, u know? So I said, are they your kids and he says, no theyre from next door. And now i think of it, they ARE from next door. BUT THIS IS FREAKY BIT. And then he goes, 'but this one..' [he puts his arms around the girl stood next to him] 'shes my special girl' and then he pulls her close and kisses her on the head and goes 'love her to bits.' And i'm like WTF, but i didnt show it, i just kinda chuckled and said oh right and then went back home.
But this other time, i was walking past the girls house and her and her mum were looking out a window at 'Clary' and her mum was going 'you're a smooth talker aren't you? piss off!' So i guess she obviously knows.

But still amirite to think its weird, or am i just over reacting?

Btw: whilst typing this, one of spellchecks alternatives was 'peadar'.. is that, a peado radar right? guys, where do i get one?

Postarama woot

Today i had i quick look through my blog folder and realised a huge quantity of of my posts are still sitting behind the scenes as drafts. You probably only see up to about two thirds of the posts i write.

Some of them are long rambling posts i got half way through and abandoned; actually most of those are still in Notepad and aren't even held on this site. Some were too brief- just a link and title left waiting for some intended content that i've clearly forgotten since. On at least one occasion i was going to post something quite fun with lots of links, but it required me to scan a flyer i'd found and i seem to have thrown away since :( The majority were abandoned because at the time i thought they were too boring, or i'd got part way through and had a thought that un-did everything i'd just said.

Anyway, today i went through a few of them and picked out a couple i could polish off and release, and that is the reason why these posts seem out dated or second rate. More might be released in future, especially if that flyer, or another one like it, somehow turns up.

Btw, tomorrow i may post aswell, as 'stuff' happened at the weekend with photos. But i don't know, check tomorrow. Or today, if you're reading this tomorrow, or yesterday as it'll be tomorrow, which'll actually be today, even, or whatever.

On the wings of a paradox

I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume no one here is an avid fan of the daily mail.

Today RobManuel posted this link on twitter. The tagline efficiently sums up the project as: 'Help to make sense of the Daily Mail’s ongoing effort to classify every inanimate object into those that cause cancer and those that prevent it.' The articles from which they are sourced are here.

Well.. dunno 'bout you guys, but it's good to be informed that i can reduce my chances of breast cancer by just getting morning sickness, and that radiation can apparently cause it.

Spot how many contradictions occur throughout the table. Red wine seems to be the most frequent, and each time the pill is mentioned it seems to be conclusively responsible for one or the other. Sex is another thing they're undecidedly certain about. Also 'work' re-occurs throughout the 'causes' column, and we know how daily mail readers feel about those who don't work.

I guess the truth is many of these items are responsible for solving one problem, but then cause another. Frankly, that's just the ebb and flow of life, nature and all it touches so far as i can tell.

So i guess the only thing we can learn from the daily mail today is: Sooner or later, one thing or another is going to get you. So why waste your life panicking about it in shitty newspapers?

Sunday Morning Debates: ignorance is bliss

In the mornings, i tend to debate things with myself. It's still early, so i'll allow it to spill over on the internet. Good idea? Bad? Dunno.
I was watching a mildly humorous retelling of harry potter last night, narrated by an 'alcoholic wizard'. The whole film is on youtube, this is just chapter 9.


Amusing narrations aside, it fascinates me how harry potter, and others- Discworld, Middle Earth, Azeroth etc are those exciting fantasy worlds people get so entranced and absorbed by. It can be so absorbing that people will happily spend their wages on fake encyclopedias, maps and even cookbooks, and this is still not enough for some people who simply cannot be persuaded to leave that world. That's pretty potent, isnt it?


Aside from just 'looking different', the awareness and beliefs in these realms are fundamentally different from our world, in that they're worlds full of 'magical' unknowns.

For example, in Mr. Potters adventure there's a moment where you see the snitch before it's turned on. Its a metallic looking ball with "wings" that essentially look like bits of wire. How can wire flex so rapidly? Let alone make a metal ball fly? Your simple answer is.. you're now in a world where that just happens, you can't explain how, so don't even try. Mythical creatures do lurk in the forest, people do turn into animals and tiny stones do hold legendary power. There's no explanation, other than the fact you don't know enough about this world to argue with it. The viewer is now in a world that is very powerful, and they are very innocent.

This kind of gives a sense of exciting freedom. There are no 'laws' dictating what is and isn't possible. Anything could happen tomorrow. It also gives a sense of hope. Any problem could, potentially, be solved. How can you assume that there is no one watching, and nothing out there?

It seems to me the majority of these worlds are inspired at least partially by the Age of Faith, or pre-Age-of-Reason times, when ignorance left holes that were lovingly filled by religious and superstitious beliefs. This was a time when living creatures were born from rocks (or in the case of mice "a piece of soiled cloth plus wheat for 21 days", people's personalities were defined by excess bodily fluids, creatures the size of small islands await submerged out at sea, and spirituality overrode science as a reason for doing anything. People had no choice but to believe what they heard, and no doubt they saw the world as an imaginative, scary and limitless one.

Ironically, in modern life, by shunning ignorance and pursuing knowledge we actually have become capable of more, yet we feel more limited. By knowing all about physical laws, we're constantly aware of what can't happen. Experts are keen to remind us that telekinesis isn't real, there's no cure for cancer, and essentially all the land on the planet is mapped. We know virtually all the creatures and have categorised them several times over already. Mysterious, supernatural phenomena are always met as soon as possible with some boring rational explanation- and if not then we are informed they couldn't have actually happened at all. If you like the unknown, you may find that more depressing.

Having said all this.. We are no doubt on the innocent side of many paradigm shifts yet to come. Today's unknown is in the future, probably the sub-atomic, and space. In the future, there may or may not be spaceships.. we don't know.. If there are, we'll probably think it no more spectacular than today's cars. Right now, spacecraft are full of wondrous, innocent speculation, but when they are made, they will operate within known physical law like everything else, and overlooked as mundane tools by their generation.

Anyway i had no plan for where this was gonna go, so i guess ill stop there with that point. Ignorance is exciting bliss, and knowledge is predictable power. And humans will just have to fantasise about one or the other.

Shake it baby

People are complaining about this app because it's offensive.

If i have any complaints about it, it's because it's a shit app. Look what happens. You get a picture of a baby, you shake the phone, and red arial bold X's appear on its eyes. That's it? That game sucks. In fact i dont think it even counts as a game. And it gets worse.. you actually had to pay for it! How did no one feel ripped off by that?

Come on people, if you're going to be all controversial and sick at least put some fucking effort in. And if you're going to jump to the defense of this because 'its just a joke!' then go research humour.

And if you don't agree then you're a fag, or something

If theres one thing that really annoys me it's the petty, mindless side of journalism. You know, braindead morons writing for more braindead morons in Braindead Moron Weekly; who have nothing better to do than make up stupid stories like people leaving cameras recording all day in other peoples bathrooms.

More specifically though, journalists in the entertainment world who do not respect, or maybe even understand, the essential gap between journalism and advertising. I'll cut to the chase and say specifically, i'm referring to game journalists bent on turning every review into a competition to produce the most unnecessarily wild, irrationally extreme statement that can be contained in one phrase. Note: this does not mean the phrases say anything about the actual game in question.. and rarely actually do.

Basically, is it just me, or is anyone else out there sick to death of "this game... " quotes, like:

"This game should not be sold without spare underwear!!"

"The god particle is really just this game, only smaller!"

"[This game is] So hardcore it'll tear your face off!"

"This game will get you drunk, and laid!! Trust us!!"

Er.. seriously? Wii Game Party is going to get me drunk and laid? Whats with the assumption i wouldn't get drunk and laid anyway? And "trust us".. is that a genuine promise or just another sign we should never take anything you say about games even slightly seriously? And in that latter case, does that not undermine your whole purpose?

Ok, let me just try to work this thing out. Your job is to review games: so that we, the consumers have a vague idea about what's out there, how much of it is good, what's worth our money, and the state of the market generally. Yet the reviewer seems more interested in trying to boost his ego by showing off how amazingly funny he failed to be. That's not to say reviewers should not try to be funny.. just, the fact you review games does NOT make you immune to effort, you know.

It isn't just the lame attempts at mindless extremity that annoys me. It's also the use of vague cliches. Take a look at this page. Now don't get me wrong- the game looks good, and from what i've heard, it is very good. But most (though not all) of these reviews, frankly, could be randomly picked out a hat and slapped onto any game. The very first one is a brilliant example. And.. 'different'? what exactly does that mean, what's your comparison? The player feedback can also be comfortably read assuming none of them have ever actually played the game (with the exception of beer mode guy. He does actually sound like he's had a go on it).

No doubt some of this frustration comes from being a consumer who has to scan for some intelligent genuine comment, but also as i took a degree in it. I was just looking for some kind of 3D Animation degree, saw a game design course, went for it, and enjoyed every minute of it.. and some of our work was genuinely challenging and utilised a lot of skills. Yet when people asked what i did at uni, i'm almost embarrased and usually resort to just saying, 'oh.. 3d animation.'
Not because i'm embarrased about the course- as said it was awesome, i met amazing people and if i had to go back to uni, without a doubt i'd do it again. It's because i know people instantly think of socially defective 15 year olds spewing brainless humour on the internet from their stuffy bedrooms. Thats ok, because it does happen. But the childish journalism surrounding the industry, where 'BEST EVER' and 'ITS AWESOME!' are slapped onto every other game, is really not helping the stigma the industry's been laden with. I don't think film or music students had that problem. Also, when you've spent a year or two on level design you start to appreciate just how much effort goes into these games- and just how insulting it can be that some reviewers clearly havent bothered to take 5 minutes to actually check it out.

I've probably got this all wrong, and its just me thinking this, but from what ive said to people, it doesn't seem like it is just me. Game reviews do not have to have this approach- there is plenty of interesting and intelligent things to say about games. My friend this guy can do it, for one thing. In the case of my last paragraph, i was concerned that maybe games shouldn't be taken seriously, but as he reassuringly pointed out: 'if my job is reviewing toasters, it doesn't matter if toasters are important, i should actually review them instead of turning it into a showcase of comedy talents.' which i pretty much agree with- only in the case of some i'd've put 'talents' in inverted commas.

Thats pretty much all i should allow myself to say. It's getting late, and i won't appreciate that in the morning.

And in the distance, I am your tourist

Today, I just really wanted to write a little bit about one of my favourite books: Pink Box. Pink box is a photographic documentary about the sex clubs of japan, and the bizarre world of the japanese sex industry.

The sex industry as a whole seems to be an interesting topic. Countries all have their own approach, where it's legal, illegal and especially where it's semi-legal. The reality is it's an age old, highly lucrative industry based on a spontaneous desire and comfortably crosses over with many legitimate businesses, so there's only so much anyone can do. With the exception of sex slavery, which is unquestionably outlawed across the board, plenty of countries seem to have their own method of ensuring the law is loophole-ridden enough to keep it a grey area.

For example: In Sweden it's legal to charge for sex, but illegal to pay for it- so while it's officially outlawed, the law essentially suits the prostitute. In Britain (i know you were probably wondering) it's legal to charge/ pay for sex from someone privately, but organised prostitution is against the law, so you can't solicit or run a brothel. In Japan, prostitution is illegal, but it's very specific about what actually counts.. namely, sexual intercourse. Anything else is fine.. Hence girls are free to offer blowjobs, handjobs, petting, and whatever else they can think of as long as it's not strictly 'sex'.

It's also interesting to observe a little about the people involved. After reading an interview with the pink box's author, reading what brothel owners have to say, and browsing through famous prostitutes and the history of the industry, it seems quite common for (voluntary) sex workers to turn out to be intelligent, well educated women. Allegedly one of the most intelligent women in the country is working as a prostitute, though the reasons are unclear. Whether there is a link, and whether it's because, perhaps, it's the clever ones who figure they can make a good living; or because there's some connection between education, confidence and sexual liberation; or because they didn't get knocked up at 13 and have 5 kids; or because they are fast learners with interesting personalities and thus good at the job, or a combination of all the above, is probably down to scenario and debate.
It's also worth pointing out the patrons are not always sick or demanding people. It seems many of the japanese customers for example purely want some 'me' time with a girl.. and sex is just a bonus. Several of the clubs in japan don't even include girls, just private rooms for hire with a tv and stack of videos, sometimes a telephone for a sex chatline, and in at least one case, high quality sex doll. And apparently that's enough to be quite popular.

Anyway, i digress. this post was supposed to be about Pink Box. I could take loads more of your, and my time typing, but i think its better to show you a little selection of the 100+ photos in the book. (btw, my scanner has made the pictures come out all halftone, which is really frustrating. they are photo quality in the book. well if you want better quality, go get the book!)


Front cover- underneath the pink PVC cover is a photo of girls lounging around in a green jelly bath. Sadly, you can't really see the full effect of the gorgeous glossy luminous effect of the pink translucent PVC, so you'll just have to trust me on what it's like.


The Perve train: Customers jump onto the [fake] train carriage, up to 14 at a time, with 'school girl commuters' for an all-you-can-grope fest. Notice an impatient customer can't help himself anxiously peering in.


Painfully gorgeous Pino has customers paint/ write on her body with ink, she then makes an imprint of herself on handmade paper for him to take home.


The brothel questionaire: Before the session, customers detail what they want. This strikes me as both genius and lame. On the one hand, since customers are unknown to the girls, it's useful to have them explain what they want.. but at the same time it must kill the anticipation, spontaneity and impulsiveness of sex. I guess money just can't buy that.


Me and claudio browsed around in the akihabara and shinjuku areas looking for some dirty used panties, but sadly the search was fruitless. Maybe we just didn't realise what we should've been looking for- this is what the packets look like. I've left the description in for your interest.


The sexual harrassment office is exactly what it says on the tin: An office where you can sexually harrass girls, dressed as secretaries. Btw, note the posters advertising 'school bus club', which contains pictures of people having sex but somehow still looks like a hello kitty advert.

Aha.. Here's one thing i remember very strongly about tokyo.. Every morning, to get to ikebukero station, we'd have to walk through a pedestrianised road and at the end of it, where the biggest crowds were, we'd be bombarded with freebie hand outs from freebie hander outers. And i swear, an astonishing proportion of them were mini packets of tissues. Tissues? i'd think. Is this to help me keep clean throughout the day? Isn't that a random freebie? But now, it has all become clear.. they were advertising sex industry services! My japanese isn't good enough to translate, but im sure they're saying something along the lines of 'fresh hot buns- come get 'em here!


Apparently, 'nyotaimori' parties are a businessman party 'tradition'. (Personally I kind of find it hard to believe it happens regularly, mostly because it strikes me as a little impractical and unhygenic..)



Finally.. verging on the offensive, frankly, but i'll include it because it is humorous: This is what a japanese 'NO INTERCOURSE ALLOWED' sign looks like.

And that's all. Sorry for such a big, long post, but what can you expect.

Move over Conspiracy Guy: It's Conspiracy Girl's turn

You may notice about me, that i really, really love conspiracy nuts. Not so much conspiracy theorists.. i'm ok with people questioning reality.. i mean people who are nuts, like fucking nuts. My fave is still this guy, but right now, i feel like i've just hit a motherload.

It starts when a mate tweeted a link to this groundbreaking report:




Thats right folks: The visible spectrum is NOT NATURAL. And somebody obviously hasn't seen a certain pink floyd album.

At first it's hard to tell if this is sheer stupidity or lack of education, but as some comments point out, she obviously did not attempt to research it, like, at all.. nor did she examine it very well or she would've seen the chemicals don't work on the other side.

Heres another deeply informative video. So informative in fact, that the maker was obviously worried it wasn't scary enough, so decided to add her own stupid noises and shitty CGI effects.


(video description: "Looks like they are ionizing their plasma energy field")
Ok, from what i remember from A levels and what those diagrams show, to reach the plasma state you've gotta get pretty hot. Hot, like, i dunno, the fucking sun. And the last time i went on a plane, we went through the clouds, and ice formed on the windows. I think that says enough.

You might be getting this feeling by this point that the author is really not aware of basic science, or even, how to read properly. If you watched the last video thinking, 'that was just gibberish punctuated by long words and scientific phrases pasted from wikipedia' then you can eat your heart out on this one. Notice some of the info paragraphs aren't even finished, such is the quality of the copy-pasting. Meanwhile, the filmmakers actual contribution is minimal, both in content and intellect.


To be honest i had a real hard time trying to work out what the fuck the video was meant to be conveying, but with help from the description and the comments, i think the plot is this: She put a container outside to collect rain. She then studied it under a microscope and saw what she thinks is a rotifer. She concluded the rotifer had been IN the rain, and "they" had put it there using aerosols.. to "HELP THEM MODIFY THE WEATHER".

When asked how she knows the organism wasn't from the container, she responds: 'Because it was clean and dry before it was put out to catch the rain'. News Flash, people: There are no germs outside.
Also I feel the need to point out that i had to check wikipedia on the whole rotifer thing.. and after experiencing a little deja vu with the first paragraph, i looked at the picture.. which is presumeably more than she did.

Welp, im sure i've bored you enough, but don't go thinking that's all the videos this lady has done. She has an entire channel of the stuff, and it covers everything from "They wrap the sound around us at night, n pull it away during the day using the TRAINS. " to "SOUND OF HOUSE WAVES AND WAVES OF ENERGY." But seriously, i'd only look if you A) have a lot of time on your hands, and B) are not easily depressed by the stupidity of some humans.

wait, what?

*giggles* props!
