something kind of fun happened this
morning my channel rolled over all 7s
seven million seven hundred and seventy
seven thousand seven hundred and seventy
seven I was not planning to make a video
at all today today’s supposed to be my
day off but I have something I want to
show you all of my countertops for the
first time in years are almost
completely clutter free this little
table over here has had stuff sitting on
it ever since I moved it down here from
four years ago and this entire area has
been crammed packed with clutter ever
since we finished the kitchen down here
this is the only clutter I have left and
it will probably all be cleaned up in
the next couple of weeks so let’s talk
for a minute about the rice experiment
from yesterday’s video the comments on
that video were amazing so let me just
start off by saying no I wasn’t high
when I film that video it was not an
April Fool’s prank it was not a social
experiment although the kind of reaction
it got might make it worthy of one it
was not promoting pseudoscience and it
was not scientifically conclusive but I
like you guys and I really care about
what you think so when there’s such a
strong reaction like there wasn’t a
video yesterday I feel like I have an
obligation to give you the rest of the
story first of all everything I said in
the video is true we did come across a
book that people told us to read like
you most likely we were a little bit
skeptical but we thought we just read
the book and see what it had to say my
wife and I both read it it seemed
interesting enough although we weren’t
grasping on the concepts as truth
instead we thought it might be worth
just having some fun and putting it to
the test and see what happened we’d seen
on the internet that hundreds of people
had tried taking cooked rice and putting
them in different jars and labeling them
and speaking to them so for a fun family
activity we decided to get the kids
involved and we tried that ourselves now
this is about five years ago we just
moved in our new house I just started
producing my king of random videos
things got crazy busy my wife let me
know that for about a month she did try
to keep up with the experiment by having
the kids talk to the jars in the morning
before school but with the craziness of
life they eventually just got brushed
aside
tucked on the shelf and completely
forgot about and that right there was
pretty much the end of the story until
about six months later we had some
people visiting and they asked us what
these jars were on the shelf and at that
time we noticed they were changing color
which we found was interesting we saw
they’d changed colors interestingly
enough they’d change colors to kind of
match the labeling on the jars now likey
we didn’t draw any conclusions we just
thought it was interesting and then
forgot about them for about another four
years two weeks ago I was running around
my basement cleaning up everything that
I could possibly clean up donating to
charity throwing in the garbage and
decluttering when I came across these
jars I thought it’d be fun just to do a
quick video and show you the results of
the experiment that we tried I saw so
many comments from people concerned that
this wasn’t followed through the
scientific process there should have
been more samples the jars should have
been sterilized there should have been
in control guys did not see that coming
if the results of this video inspire
other people to try the results for
themselves and everybody comes back with
the same results then maybe this idea is
worthy of a more scientific study until
then it was just a simple family
experiment non-scientific never claimed
it was go back and watch my video and
you’ll find that my words were chosen
very carefully but apparently they may
not have been chosen carefully enough
because a lot of you got triggered so on
that note I really hope I’ve been able
to satisfy your concerns and put a
little context behind the video
obviously this wasn’t an MIT sponsored
scientific event they’re just some kind
of interesting results to a simple
household experiment I wanted to show
you before I threw those jars away see
in the next video
one last thing apparently I forgot to
put the Instagram link in the video
where I mixed aluminum with brass I
still haven’t giving away this master
sword as well as all these metal alloys
so follow me on Instagram watch the
stories in the next couple of days I’ll
post a link on how you can apply to get
them see you there
