This guy is the definition of work smarter, not harder. He comes up with brilliant ideas that seem so simple.
Dude but if see his videos you know it takes him months of work to make
@@afaqkhan6756 The quote is "Work smarter, not harder", unfortunately nobody said anything about faster 😂
Buddy he’s literally lying in his science fair experiments. That’s funny but that’s not working smarter.
You have CLEARLY never seen one of Michael Reeve's videos lol
@@PACreeper I never did the science fair.
As a programmer, sometimes I have to print messages that make stuff seems OK
I respect your game lol
You're doing what now lmao
ayo wait a minute programmer for WHAT
Funny story: a college of mine told me years ago
They had contractual agreement to meet a mile stone and the client was going to inspect the program which was way behind schedule
To make a long story short a dude at the server side with cellphone was receiving what the user is testing and altering and sending messages in real time to make it look like it was working 😂
Then they made some bs reason why this shouldn't stay online for security!
And the client was none the wiser

I once did an “experiment” on which colors my dogs could see for a science fair. Had literally no data at all, completely random “results”. 96%
*sniffs aggressively* WHY NOT A DUCKING 100!??!????????????
@@Icameinclutch “does exactly that then the ai becomes self aware “
@@killzoneshot1624 wat
If u had a good scientific method you deserve it sometimes theories fail doesn't mean u didn't work on it
I did something similar when I made a science fair project about pasteurization. I “replicated” one of the experiments Louis Pasteur conducted to disprove the theory of spontaneous generation. It involved heating two glasses of chicken broth, leaving one out in open air, and another sealed. The open air chicken broth turned darker over time, signifying the growth of bacteria from particles in the air falling into the broth. Instead of actually doing the same experiment, I put chicken broth in one glass, and beef broth in another, and labeled the beef broth the “chicken broth left in open air.” Nobody was none the wiser.
Chaos
Chaotic Good?!
😂😂⚰️
I guess they had no idea how it was supposed to go, either 😆
"Why, this is so rotten it smells like beef!"
I used to paste the Lorem Ipsum phrases into my daily writings in English because I knew the teacher wasn't reading
I copied an pasted John mulaney bits into a paper once
I translated my high school thesis to English and put some Easter eggs here and there. I only remember there was a sneaky “squirtle” somewhere in there.
If you're _really_ confident nobody is reading something, try snippets of Time Cube by Gene Ray instead. If it's being read, you'll know.
Don't forget to fix the font sizes and censor the crude words!

Mama Made Belly Buttons,
Church Was Full Of Liars.
I once wrote "are you actually reading all that?" and the teacher has never mentioned it so I'm assuming she was, in fact, not reading all that
Had a girl that did this is Jr. High. She called it a running experiment, and every science teacher signed off on it.
So the experiment was actually how many people would notice the problems with her "experiment"?
@@dasamont8274so the real experiments were the teachers all along!
Made a bottle rocket as a science experiment. On the day of the show we found out “environmentally conscious” was a monied category. I then completely remade my pitch when the judges came over about how it was a prototype water distribution device for impoverished nations.
Walked out with the prize and the soul altering lesson on how powerful grifting is and that it shouldn’t be used lightly
and really, that's a more relevant lesson that anything they actually taught us, right?
@@R0S3inC0NCR33T I mean, it might be a more daily applicable lesson but it’s hardly an easy lesson to intentionally teach to a class of students so I can hardly hold that against them. I have issues with the education system but expecting detailed social interaction lessons to be part of the curriculum, especially when not everyone has the natural talent/personality to actually DO it would be a waste imo
@@92Roar god dayum what an amazing response
@@dangeroussecondaccount893 oh damn it appears I may have left the unintended and potentially life threatening impression that I am, in fact, an intellectual of sorts. Allow me to attempt to dash such absurdist notions. Ahem.
“Yer mum”
I hope you have now successfully recalibrated to my standard response capacity and shan’t expect more intricate responses or commentary in the future, thank you.
@@92Roar no YOURE mom.. 😠😠
I only ever did one science fair. Forgot to do an experiment, grabbed some eggs and put the shells in different basic and acidic liquids for a week, and acted like it took a couple months to record.
I did the same experiment with sodas to see which is "the worst for your teeth" not sure the validity of the experiment but it literally came out of a science fair idea book.
Cheerwine was the worst btw.
@@apatternedhorizon I did the same thing with pennies and which sodas more acidic or something. It was rusty pennies get cleaned fast in coke if I remember it correctly
They always want us to do weeks worth of data but mine always took less than a day
@@apatternedhorizon Won't stop me, Cheerwine is the shit
The one time I tried to actually do the experiment it was with plants, and a hurricane (lowered to tropical storm when it reached my island but still) fucking tore those things to shreds. So I had to lie about the results anyway 😭
I remember for my science fair, I powered a small rover with lemons and vinegar batteries. We lost to a baking soda volcano :(
I'm pretty much convinced that teachers purposefully choose the laziest and most unoriginal projects out of some half-assed philosophy of "not making other students feel bad/dumb" by voting for the ACTUALLY SMART experiments.
It's always the baking soda volcano
Doofenschmitz, that you?
Lmao in elementary school I did a volcano because "phineas and ferb shows that volcanoes always win"
100% cap
They thought the experiment was about the conductivity of materials but it actually was a meta narrative analysis of accepting the results of an experiment without looking into the process deeper and the integrity of the researching body.
I did this for my high school woodworking project 🤣, not on conductivity of metals of course, but we had to build something showcasing what we learned through the year. However my work was subpar compared to my class mates, so I made a small model house centered around the theme of "house of the future", I put a solar panel on the roof, ran the wire inside to a control box and one to the switch, and connected lights to the inside rooms. And it worked, I came in second in class, because I had a working model. But here's the secret, in the "control box" the solar panel wasn't connected, I just used two AA batteries to power the lights. I lied and told everyone that the solar parts worked, so every morning I would take the model house outside to "charge" 😂
You know what they say, the hardest part about perpetual motion machines is where to hide the bateries
I once judged a science fair held at my university. The winner was a kid who put a number of legos in a box, shook it, then counted the number that stuck together. He one more points than the high schooler who developed an app to calculate particles from space because he created formulas based on this one experiment that we were learning in advanced college calculus.
Edit: it was Lego kid doing calculus, not useless particle app guy. The particle guy was a high school senior, Lego kid was in late elementary school.
All I’m saying is that judges give points based on how much you made them question themselves.
Bro that is some villain origin story right there
@@ifeelcoke4347 Not just "some villain origin story" it is THEE Avenger's level threat origin story.
Like Jesus fucking Christ I'd cry full blast if I was the app particle guy discovering I lost to a kid with legos.
i remember i chose to do geography to get extra point in that class and i had done an incredibly detailed project on rivers and the girl who won over me had just made a "7 wonders of the world" snakes and ladders. she had just drawn squares on a cardboard with little 7 wonders origami around it, no sort of fun facts or trivia integrated into the game either, they just stood there. needless to say i am still bitter
@@Zen-zt4uk "Lego" is a plural, you'd actually be crying whilst being forced to re-read the dictionary.
_'Legos'_ , you sicken me...
😂😂😂
It wasn't a science experiment. It was a social experiment.
Social sciences
One year I forgot about the science fair until the night before at about 11pm, all of the stores were closed and all I had was my poster board, paper, printer and color pencils. I figured I'd just pull something out of my cheeks so I'd at least get a score. So I went into the bathroom cupboard, grabbed 10 different soaps, slowly cut rectangles out of them and tested their malleability. Took pictures of the bent and snapped soap pieces, slapped them on the board and wrote some stupid observations down so it didn't look as bland. I got a B. But hey, for a stupid project, 1 hour and no materials to work with.. I was very pleased😂
science fair has always been dogshit
My 10th grade English teacher mainly graded us on book reports. The books had to be from the school library, and we had a week or 2 to finish the report. I'd get my book, wait until the day before and read the back of it to find out what it was about and just make up everything on the report. Got an A every time! Easiest English class ever.
I truly believe that bullshitting a book report based on a few pages or a synopsis is a valuable skill for the real world. Shoutout to high school for instilling the "work smarter not harder" mantra in me forever
@@GearTwistGaming I was having waaay too much fun playing Golden Eye and skateboarding with my friends after school to read a novel. Haha!
Why book reports are counterintuitive. They are supposed to encourage reading but instead they do this.
Yup I remember In high school grade 11 we were reading the first chapter of a book we were assigned to read and I hated it. It was just mind-numbingly boring and I hated the premise which was talking dogs living in a park. So I didn't read a single other page and wrote the book report base on sparknotes/back of the book. Got an A.
Same
That's fucking genius. I wish I could regret doing the bare minimum every time because I hate science fair projects.
Our final project in class was to create a fully functional game in scratch so i just downloaded someone else’s game off the website and changed the sprite to match my character design. I was the only one who passed
Straight up lying, no class has a 99% fail rate - the instructor would get their ass reemed
@@afruit6720 just cuz its a final project doesn't mean the project matters. In my computer class everyone sucked at scratch as well
@@bigchungus7050tbf scratch is fucking dogshit and there is no reason to "learn" it
I remember remaking the scary maze game in scratch for a project
That shit would never fly in university, it’d be flagged as plagiarism in a heartbeat.
LMAO. Did the same thing with roses of which rose grows/blooms faster if played a certain type of music :
1. one with classical music
2. rock/metal
3. no music added.
No effect at all, but we made it seem that classical made it grow faster and that metal music slows it down just so we have a result.
Rarely would they take a 6th grade science project seriously anyways. 🤣
I remember one time where I made a whole science experiment on harmful algae blooms (I was in 5th grade) and this one guy won the science fair and his project was 4 fucking rice bags. No description, no elaboration, no information. Just 4 fucking rice bags on cardboard.
I don't remember how I did it, but there was this me and my buddy snuck into the chem lab and started messing around with the chemicals, particularly the ones with the skull and bones labeled on them (yes dumb kids, I know). We accidently made sparks that danced around on the surface of the solution for a little bit and we went Whoaaa... let's do it again. So this time we wrote down what it was and did that for our science fair project explaining how the chemicals react to each other. It was very pleasing to watch so we both got As.
I refuse to believe chemicals actually have "skulls and bones" on them ☠️
I'm sorry, but I would like to respectfully express my thought that at least that part of the story is fake.
My boy quasi-literaly gaslit
I did a "research project" for my first language class about magazines. I did the easy sections honestly, but there was one part where I had to poll six families on their magazines tier lists with reasons and other bs. Safe to say this is where my creative writing streak paid off. Got full marks for it
I had to make a science fair project the night before, and my dad flipped shit and made me make an electromagnet with household items and learn about it. Let's just say I got the quickest crash course into electromagnetic fields and got an A
I did conductivity in grade 8, but it was really just an excuse for my friend and I to make a glove that you could turn a light bulb on just by holding (battery pack taped to it wired to tinfoil on the fingertips) and then we just threw together strips of random materials on a board.
This reminds me of that one scene from the Simpsons where they’re going to the beer factory and the “Duff, Duff Lite, and Duff Extra” all come from the same place lol.
Today's experiment, learning how -conductivity works- I straight up lied
I remember when I was writing stuff for uni (college) we were specifically told not to use Wikipedia as a reference and that we'd be penalised for doing so.
So I just went into wikipedia articles look for bits that looked. And then checked to see who wikipedia referenced and copied that.
I mean, that’s what you’re supposed to do. You’re not supposed to just take something from wikipedia because it can be faked, but if you go to wikipedia and then find the source of something then you’re doing the same thing as going to google and finding the same thing and sourcing it.
@@mayjones-tran2869to be fair tho, wikipedia was banned on my high schools wifi entirely. One time I tried bringing up that we could just use it to find their sources to a teacher and I was shut down completely. I can bet it was cause she just thought "I'm told wikipedia is bad so I'll just repeat that" instead of actually thinking about it tho. I didn't bring it up to anyone else after that and just used a vpn on my phone or my data
His biggest grift is his UA-cam channel he posts once a year and i wait like chump for him to post
Like Peter said in Ludwig sues OTV video, his videos are really good so that objection is overruled
mine was an experiment on how long a laptop battery would last running different programs. i just played videogames for a couple hours and wrote a report with half made up data and got an A
I scammed my book reports by reading the same book 3 different times and editing the report to make it look like language from my level. Got an 8 a 7 and a 10 respectively.
you mean you cheated by doing it properly?
@@poplel well, while i do think the goal of book reports is to actually read different books , the true scam was that i just took the same report and changed the introduction and conclusion to reflect my current interpretation.
It was not that hard to do since i made that report when i was 12 and resubmitted it when i was 14 and 17. A few years of growing up writes its own interpretation. First report took me like 2 days to make when i was 12 and the second and third took me 5 minutes.
Literally made the EXACT same science fair project with the light and everything all attached to a cutting board in 8th grade and got like a c , turned out to just be a popularity contest with the teachers
My man outsmarted smarts🤣
Actual Jan Hendrick Schön shit
was looking for this comment
Waited til the last day of a science fair cause I did nothing but play video games so I decided to fake an entire experiment were I recorded the heart rates of people playing a certain video game to see the differences in heart rate.. that was it. Made up a bunch of people not even in my class or school. Did it in 3 hours before school. A-
Imagine if I had taken school seriously. I might even not be in adject poverty today.
Man I did the same shit, waited until the last day and made up a story about how I used three different types of water to see if they made plants grow at different rates, distilled, tap, and I don't remember the other.
Made up all the numbers and put it all on a poster board I bought the day before and got a b.
i would be in abject poverty regardless of whether i did great or shit in school
That last part is relatable
There are plenty of people out there who took School more seriously and are still in poverty, trust me I know.
If it wasn't an A in science then it was definitely an A in deception
i mean... to get the grade he probably explained it well enough so that even if the teacher got it it didn't matter, work smarter folks, i survived on a surface water tension experiment that used a coin a glass of water for all of highschool and it never failed me
in elementary school we had a science fair, and we had a month to do it and i didnt even think about it til the morning of.
i grabbed a container of grapes, nabbed 5-6 of them at various stages of decay, taped em to a box, and said i put one in the box every 6 days.
no one bat a fuckin’ eye. apparently 4th graders dont have observational skills.
He’s such a menace
He didnt cheat he just showed how bad his science teachers were.
One dude in my school brought a door bell in science exhibition, he did it for years
Michael's creativity is just amazing
My experiment was white grape juice with different food dye colors and people thought they were all different flavors
History class freshman year we had about 4 big projects through the year for each quarter that made up most of your grade. I would go through all of the completed projects that morning that were turned in and make the teacher believe he lost my project every time. Got an A every time lmaoo
lmao I use to do this in my biology class. I noticed how disorganized my teacher was and how we would give us all of our grades at the last minute of the semester. Meaning he would procrastinate on grading and scramble to find the assignment. I figure out that the lab work that I didn't do, I had a decent grade on. So he would give you the grade based on what grade he thought you would get.
So I made sure to ask questions after every class, get on his good side and then proceeded to not turn in a single assignment or lab report. I ended up getting high marks because of this.
Dude, I was apart of a competition, no prize money, but my submission was the effect of ferrofluids as a suspension mechanism. So changing the power supply from a car to the suspension on the fly to interact with the road surface. THat itself won me the prize. I literally didn't have a ferrofluid until a day until the competition. When i did have it the night before was in my sink pouring this half oz bottle and measuring the flow rate as I stuck random magnets to a tube
Me and my best friend met over that experiment, and we also managed to impress everyone with our incredible understanding of conductivity. People are easily impressed when a light turns on.
During lockdown, I had a ton of missing assignments and was probably gonna risk getting demerits. So, I hacked into 2 of my classmate's accounts, downloaded their homework and submitted it was my own.
My high school experiment was supposed to be on the damage done by smoking. I put a sponge inside a balloon and would put a lot cigarette in the opening of the balloon everyday and squeeze it so that it would smoke the cigarette. After like two days I just started smoking the cigarettes myself and ran out of them. So at the end of the month I just put a little bit of water in the ashtray, mixed it around and dipped the sponge into it and took it in for a passing grade. The teacher even held it up in front of the class to make a point to everyone...
I once developed a product for keeping pets cool in a car with a mini fan and ice in a box. I lost to a guy who just made a "cool loking" river with a bathtub, pump, and a net.
Years later I saw my project on the shelves at local pet stores.
When I was in 6th grade and our teacher told us about the science fair coming up, I decided that I was gonna use this as an opportunity to get myself some new pets. So, I chose an experiment involving fish. Which set me up for my science fair experiment _and_ hooked me up with a couple of new little buddies. (RIP Sonny and Cher!) After all, how could my parents _possibly_ tell me “no” when I needed them for school?! LOL.

“Deception”
Once in french class we had homework for the summer holidays. Naturally, I did not do any of them. They consisted of copying every page at the end of the chapter of the French school book that would contain all the vocabulary and grammar learned that chapter. We had to do that 3 times. A week before the deadline I tried to actually do it, then quit because who the fuck wants to do that shit? I said fuck it, picked up 3 sheets that I did do honestly, photocopied them to match the number of pages you'd need, and handed them to the teacher. I knew she had to grade all students, and she wouldn't care to check if it was actually done. So needless to say I got that 100%
Yea I used to do the same experiments but rather than using metals I used organic objects like fruits
Dude used a cheat code.
When I was in highschool I used to take pictures of other people's work and run it through an ocr and paraphraser everytime and never had to do anything. I also used to rip from several different blogs to write something, run it through a paraphraser and then do a final edit of it myself. Basically like what chat gpt does now. I was extremely good at this and would my homework on the way to school in the morning so like in 30 mins I would finish a 4 page essay.
Bro managed to hard code Physics
I only ever had to do one science fair, which ended up being a lava lamp done the night before the fair.
We managed to do something like that in our capstone project for engineering (granted there was a ton of real work on something that a retired NASA scientist at the place was struggling with, but the demo was completely Jerry rigged/faked). Some motherfuckers (who I happened to be friends with) designed a functional autonomous golf cart (!) and we got voted 2nd place over them. 💀 1st place were a couple girls that basically sat and watched GE engineers do everything according to my friend's dad that worked for GE at the time. The world ain't fair. 😭😂 It's about who you know, not what you can do.
Bro just made a legal loophole
I wish we had science fairs
seems like a psychology fair xD
My go-to was literally just density and it always worked because I would demonstrate it.
I had always used the same stuff so mt data was always the same.
Nobody caught on because I made it seem fresh.
It's like the fake loading bars you have in every game because people started complaining a game wasn't advanced enough if it didn't need loading lol
Science Harry Potter!
And a paper Mâché volcano always got first place
In 5th grade, I did a science fair project where I tested a bunch of different materials on if they would corrode. I tested which were corrosive using nitric acid, what kind of reaction, and how quickly it reacted. My dad handled the nitric acid of course, and I would neutralize the reactions with essentially baking soda. I stayed up super late working on the trifold and typing out my findings. It took me almost 2 weeks from the experiment to finishing the display and I was really excited and proud of it.
I lost to a baking soda volcano. No joke. But it's fine, I made good memories with my dad ❤
Thanks for the idea
I actually had to do this for a science experiment for part of my final year. I had to learn a lot of what other things affected conductivity.
My history teacher game us a group assignment for us to make a song parody of something we learned that year that was due on the last day of school. My friends got in a group and I couldn’t join because there was a size limit so I just didn’t do the assignment because I was shy so I hid under a desk and the teacher never noticed or cared that I didn’t go even when everyone else was saying I didn’t go
just put it in series lol
Bro I’m building a lobster waiter with a robotic arm for mine, and I’m absolutely pissed I didn’t think of this before. God I hate being a try hard
Me and my friends went a bit *too* hard on our science fair in 7th grade, which is the only one we ever did. We managed to make a very very experimental web fluid idea (spider-man haha), and managed to get it to stick paper to the wall for a few minutes before the fluid would dissolve. The whole webshooter was just a 3D printed piece with a lighter filled with the fluid. We got an A, but somehow weren't even top 3. We lost to a fucking lemon powering a lightbulb.
Man, here i was struggling trying to get through school honestly. Should have been scamming my way through the whole time...
I wish I could make it to open sauce because the 16th is my birthday, but it’s in San Francisco and I’m in Dallas working an engineering summer camp
just goes to show teachers are just there to babysit
That's actually hilarious, I had to do a science fair project as well in high school and mine was super last minute, like the night before and I did the conductivity of different metals too, it was super half assed, and I still have the copper and silver wire lying around somewhere.
Replication crisis be like
I did something similar happen when scratch first came out and my teacher held a contest and we would all go around playing each others shitty maze games and vote for which one was the best. i just ripped someone elses “code” for like a ddr type game through the HTML and then made up random bullshit on what each script and command did
This is a part of the Safty third podcast. I would 100% recommend if you like stupid engineering and stupid stuff
The fact the teacher didn’t notice 🤣
I did this, I did an "experiment" on if Mung beans grew faster when watered with caffeinated water. It was the same plant (watered normally) photographed on slightly different days and moved over to make it seem like it was a different plant.
90%.
Also my display was a cardboard box i cut one side and the top/bottom off of
This guy is probably capable of fooling physicists into thinking that he discovered perpetual motion.
I did something similar where I held the judges family hostage
For my last science fair I did a coding project my code didn’t work even a little. 4 hours before it was so it still wouldn’t work and I ended up copying and pasting a version of the program directly off the internet. The code in my binder was different than the program I showed the judges no one noticed I got 3rd
"Otv podcast highlights"
Shows Safety Third clips
Can’t you at least link to the safety third podcast?
They thought the experiment was thr bulb but the real experiment was seeing the reactions of everyone else
School: Science *fair*
Michael: "Haha no~"
Well this is gold. That's for sure.
And now he makes even better ideas for content!
this is literally something i would expect from michael
I did well in my high school science fair by testing three different solar cooker designs to see which could cook a smore most effectively. And it turns out the one I thought looked dumbest worked the best. (Basically a big wide tin foil funnel concentrated into a metal pot with the smore inside a ziploc plastic bag) The others were more practically sized/shaped vs. that one.
I did aimething like this in elementry school using one of those snap together electronic kits. I tested water, pencil marks, marker marks, and plain paper.
well the contest was about thinking smart
I counted bubbles for my science experiment. And the rates at which cotton plants grew with different light colors 😂
I’m currently trying to get to the international science fair, regionals is next month. I’m in plant sciences, and I’m using hair as a fertilizer since it contains nitrogen which will decompose and release into the soil to aid in plant growth. At both the school and county fair I went over the experiment and explained the benefits that using hair as fertilizer would have on the environment. This whole journey started last year, when I lost at regionals to a pinto bean project
Had an egg drop final for physics that was planned for a month near the end of the year. Created mine the day of, doing finishing touches right as im about to drop it off the second floor onto a target. Used only toilet paper, paper towels, and rolled up bunches of paper as an exoskeleton/catching/dampening system obv. It survived, one of the only few, twice, while also being the smallest and lightest in volume. But since I had "blatantly shown no effort to contribute to class activities and display a complete disregard of scheduled assignments," i was given a C, a free mark hopefully used to boost grades up if close enough. :/
Cough cough this isnt offline tv podcast this is safety third cough cough
