I made this real-life version of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
I made this!
it's a mobile phone connected to a makey makey (a kid's toy that turns anything into a USB gamepad) and a few other neat tricks. The app on the phone is made in Defold (which is free and f****** amazing). Teams have 5 minutes to deactivate the bomb, by following an instruction manual filled with small nihilistic jokes written in the visual language of a printer installation manual, e.g. "Please do not think about death whilst following these instructions." and "The use of protective equipment will be of no consequence in case of an explosion."
Ask me anything? I don't know, it took me months to make this and I feel like my genius has never been fully recognised. Just tell me I'm clever, please.
(In all seriousness, if you are having an event and want me to bring the bomb, send me a DM and we can talk. I live in Spain but I am happy to do cool events for cool people just having my costs paid, which don't have to be expensive.)

I'm always hoping I get stopped at customs. One time I had to open it and I was hoping the guy would ask me what it was, but he just said that the x-ray had spotted there was a screwdriver inside which I had to throw it away. It was one of my favourite screwdrivers, too.

There are so many variables on these things
I don't know why anyone does these spot the difference vids, because so much is dependent on the quality of the equipment you're listening on. Yes, you may be able to spot the difference, but does that difference appear better just because you've been told one is very expensive?
For what it's worth, I thought she was out of tune.
(
Varmint, Wed 15 Jul 2020, 12:26,

Not just the quality of the equipment you're listening with.
But also the quality of equipment the video has been recorded with.
Regardless of both these factors, the video is being hosted by YouTube who are notorious for compressing the quality of their audio streams to reduce bandwidth/storage overheads.
I'd imagine that 90-ish% of the folk watching that video are doing so on their phones. A large percentage of them using their shitty apple earpods.
And even with all those variables aside, the cost of an instrument isn't necessary commensurate with its tone. Mexican Fender Standard Precision basses often sound a hell of a lot better than their American Standard counterparts.
Rantlet over.

It's worthless as a study because it wasn't blind, let alone double blind.
Her performance would have been influenced by her knowledge of the value of the cellos. She would have handled the $1,000,000 cello a lot more carefully than the $5000 cello, and expected certain nuance from the more valuable ones, etc, etc.
