@@michealpersicko9531 hell, maybe? I was born in 95 so I'm more of a 2000s kid. Most I remember was getting discs in plastic CD cases or paper envelopes in the mail (for I think Netscape?)

@toddbod94 Actually, I believe it's folding boxboard, boxboard/paperboard is used for packaging quite often, cardstock is generally used for things like business cards and booklet covers. Boxboard is a bit thicker than cardstock. They're actually all cardboard though. What he's calling cardboard in the video is actually corrugated fiberboard. Everything from cardstock to fiberboard is a type of cardboard.
@@dietjesus7710 In practice, experiencing any sufficiently subtle shade of a color would require too many photons for you to experience it and live to tell the tale...but we do experience a small number of trillions of photons per second hitting our eyes from an area about the size of a single letter on a computer screen, so I guess the number of colors we can experience at a pixel size, without blinding ourselves, should be roughly in the billions.
amazing, i think the reason the microphone didn't always detect the claps was for the reasons you talked about, when you plug in a clapper to a clapper, the had you tried to clap above the first clapper it most likely wouldn't work due to the fact the way for the clapper to hear it was blocked, but if you did below it would hear it
Quite awhile back, these "clapper" videos kept getting recommended to me and, on another account, they're still sitting in a playlist full of videos to _"definitely_ watch, but not right now". This was long before initially discovering your channel for its Windows nostalgia, and finding out you made them makes me very happy indeed. They're now sitting in the current playlist, actively being watched. 👍🍍
LSD trip is probably the closest one can get without brain damage, I think. Small deficit of inhibition of brain activity causes ADHD. Going higher causes delusions and hallucinations among many other problems. 100% brain excitation is coma and most probably death rather quickly. There's a good reason why the exact amount of brain is excited at any time. I know you're joking, maybe I should start to use LESS of my brain at once.
I never lived in a Clapper household, so I was wondering, if you have the TV audio turned up loud enough, does a show filmed before a live studio audience turn the Clapper on and off? Does the Clapper commercial?
The weaker paperboard is used for clappers that will be sent bulk. So for example 20clappers in a bigger box and then stright onto shop shelves as its cheaper and lighter to post many of them. The heaver duty cardboard can be sent through the post individually and be protected indervidually.
Can you do a video where you test out the program called “Winslap” it is a really cool windows 10 optimisation and tweaking tool, not sure if it is better than Winaero Tweaker though…
Lot of people commenting that he should put extension cords between the clappers... wouldn't it be just easier to put every clapper in a 180° turn to the next? So they would not cover the microphone and the lights of the clapper beneath it? I can't believe he didn't do that in the video (even just to show how it looks)...
I wonder if there was ever anyone who hated clappers because they think the microphone was a spy device for the NSA. The problem with that theory is it has no internet connection. How would it send? lol
I feel like this is the sort of video that will appear in the recommendations of someone in a few years time after someone searches for a clapper video
I'm still using an old The Clapper (distributed by JML - John Mills Ltd0 here in the UK. I would not have expected the supplementary units to work in the first instance as only the primary one would be receiving current. The UK version has four LEDs - three red rectangular LEDs, above a singular round amber LED. The red ones indicate detected sound whereas the amber light illuminates when a load is attached. Curiously, the amber LED illuminates when the plugged-in device is turned OFF but the LED goes off when the plugged-in device is ON. This is counter-intuitive. There is a switch on the side with three positions: ~ Home (HI) ~ Home (LOW) ~ Away. The 'Away' function turns on the plugged in device when it hears any noise, but I don't know if this is then permanently on or if it has an internal electronic timer. I can no longer find instructions for this device but I am amazed that it still works after so many years.
MAybe you were looking for "card stock" for the material name? And another question, why not alternate the orientation of every second one, like make every second one be upside down?
Because of how American outlets are set up, the negative terminal being bigger than the positive one, you can’t flip them. I would love to see that tho, lol
2:46 | Welcome to Michael MJD, this is no unboxing channel. No no no, this is a box channel. Where we talk about different packaging of the same product and critique it all!
Omg wait what if you Did this with a Clap Television Set? Would it Not work lol ? bc when you clap for the Clappers you have to clap x Amount of times for an Electronic in a Different Plug But if the TV is also Clap activated wouldn't it just Turn off the Tv?
I think that the issue it that the bottom mics are covered. Have you tried plugging the second one upside down the keep the mic open? If that works plug the third one the correct way and the bob ross one upside down that way all of the mics have as much open space as possible
“I dunno why anyone would ever wanna do this”, yeah me neither, since using one turns off the functionality of the other, and is useless for automation :P of course the power passing would work! If you’d managed to find a way to actually get them to not nullify each other, that would have been impressive. Thoroughly enjoyed the tapping on the bottom one conducting up the chain at the end. What a simple and ingenious use of the very basic microcontrollers that were available back then, though. Just a mic and watching for spikes, with a certain cadence.
The microphone for the clapper is on the lower left corner, which is covered when plugging in more clapper units. I think the randomness you got from this experiment has to do with the microphones being blocked.
The flared tip on the neutral prong of the plug seems like it should be nostalgic. I don't remember seeing that for some time. Mostly just wide tips or completely wide prongs. The hot side is also tapered.
Given US electrical regulations you can still plug them in upside down if they aren't grounded. Even though it's needed for some applications, you aren't allowed to label one of the live wires differently. It's just two lives and one ground.
Ever since I was born I've had this weird feeling inside of confusion like there was something I needed to find but haven't almost kinda like an unanswered question and after watching this video it's gone away I think it was my life's purpose to learn this information I can die and pass on to the other side peacefully now
A random thought: a "Clapper" should turn off whenever a capacitor blows up, pretty handy... Also replace those with just double sockets, stack some more up and it would be a practical guide to household fires :)
The flimsier material is coated paperboard. In the US the number one manufacturer of it is GPK Intl, I believe. It’s used in a lot of places that you don’t think about like those rectangular Cola 12 packs. Interestingly, when it leaves the manufacturing facility it’s covered in a slick coat of white semi gloss plastic sort of like a blank canvas, and then whatever company buys it gets to paint it.

Welcome to my favorite series on this channel, "Series I Never Knew Existed", ep. 2
"So we have a happy little clapper here, but he's looking a little lonely. So we'll give him a couple of fluffy little friends right here..."
This can be summarized into a question like: “You want to see an electrical fire?”
This is the type of quality content UA-cam was made for
My parents bought a clapper and I think they like testing it out at night with their door shut.
"You may be wondering what a clapper is..."
Bloody hell, I went and got old, didn't I.

Fire hazard, plus it might damage your computer if you effectively unplug your computer all the time
*plugs pc with i7 and 2080 ti*
I mean, you could try pluging the second clapper upside down if the prongs are the same :| so you can see the light's
You can't as the Clapper's plug is polarized. It only plugs in one way.
Fyi you are building a computer on the lowest level. Just a ton of switches.
