  • We can’t do anything except shoot you down. What you want doesn’t exist, not because people are choosing not to create it but because they can’t create it. The ‘paranormal’ isn’t real. Anyone that believes it is is insane, and insane people are not known for their ability to tell compelling stories and hold cameras steadily, nor are they known to pursue and publish media invalidating their own delusions. If you want to see convincingly shot footage, watch the X-Files, it’s a beautiful show. But that’s the best you’re going to get. Because the content you crave does not exist.


  • In this thread you’ve implied repeatedly that you’re aware of the implausibility of paranormal phenomenon but you’re still going to watch:

    “YouTube pranks, edited garbage, and an endless amount of inhumane content”

    And if you’re just doing this for amusement, the Why Files does some pretty entertaining stuff reporting on ‘real’ (clarification: these are actual things people believe not just made up for their episode) conspiracies and paranormal events, I can enjoy them even as a skeptic. But if you’re doing this out of actual interest, belief or just to give both sides of the argument a fair shake, I really really really hope that you will take my advice and figure out if this is truly important, or if this is you self-harming out of stubbornness. Because I have been there and it’s really bad for you.

    I believe you’re thinking of neutrinos. Neutrons love bonking into things, and they’re really good at it. Too good; if the thing they’re bonking is too big they’ll just keep on bouncing, so you gotta bounce them off small stuff. Concrete has lots of small stuff bound up in it, so while there’s better shields (borax and paraffin slurry is a classic one) there’s few cheaper or easier to make shields than concrete.
