      i have a feeling, especially with the giant phone thing, that there are likely literal companies out there that build basically a creator house, and most those big screen live streamers all live in the same digs with their own room. like if they stopped talking and turned the tunes off, you'd hear someone in the room next door being like ''if you wanna be famous guys, send your name''. the one running that must be making bank, its kinda genius.

    I saw a stream with the same setup as the one at 9:50. Someone asked “I just lost my wife to cancer, is she in heaven?” To which the pendulum said no, which made the streamer stay awkwardly silent for about 20 seconds, then said “sometimes it’s wrong”, then continued the stream like nothing happened.

    Speaking of TikTok disasters, I actually have a funny story about Ted Nivison and TikTok disasters! Back in 2018, I remember being in the middle of a hurricane! It was extremely dangerous, but lo and behold while I was seeking shelter, I saw the one and only Ted Nivison filming a TikTok in which he was hitting the Luddy (a famous dance popularized by Ludwig Ahgren)! I thought this was so cool, and as Ted's biggest fan, I thought I might come ask Ted if I could get a picture! As I approached him, though, he slapped me on the face while hitting the Luddy, and said, "You don't have enough charm to talk to me!" He then simultaneously whipped and nae-naed before pulling out his trusty hammer and breaking my kneecaps. He told me, "Good luck surviving the storm, dingus," and left me alone, as the hurricane was approaching our location. I ended up getting sucked up by the hurricane, never to be seen again...

      I kept coming across one of a man and what I assume were three of his children repeatedly saying "please help" (as in "send gifts"), which isn't terribly unusual unfortunately but then the younger daughter started messing around and stopped chanting with the others so she got called over by someone off camera. She left smiling, then something like a smack was heard and she came back crying. Her sister tried to comfort her while still chanting and her father ignored her as if nothing happened.
      Very disturbing. Some other viewers and I reported the livestream but nothing was or will be done. It makes me feel sick even thinking about it.

    the giant phone ones are literally sweatshops. its just cubicles filled with women doing those streams for a whole day. other entertaining ones are Drake v. Juice Wrld, two guys share a stream and viewrs vote on who they think is better. the one whos in the lead gets to play that arttists song while the other one cries like the "im not emo" kid until their artist goes back in the lead

    Saw Ted at a gas station the other day. I walked up to him and said “hey! love your videos and wanted to say hello! I hope I’m not bothering you.” And he turned to me and said “oh like you’re doing right now?”. I started to apologize but he cut me off with “losersayswhat?” So I just walked away. A few minutes later I was in line to check out and Ted was in front of me buying a carton of cigarettes, and a case of Miller Light. Suddenly he yells “WHAT THE FUCK! YOU’RE OVER CHARGING ME!!” And when the cashier tried to ask what he meant he said “I’m just taking these” and walked out with everything, but not before turning to me and winking as he walked out the door.

      Jeb Bush putting out the facts. You can find actual pictures of these content farms as well and it genuinely makes me curious how much cash you can actually get doing this. You rent a tiny space, wall off 9 rooms, hire 7 women to do these really boring streams, contract for a % of earrings, one room office, one break room and boom, you're apparently rolling in money for some ungodly reason. Worst case scenario you need to buy bot accounts to inflate the number of followers and you become a parasite online but ya know, business.

    Dowsing rods are sticks that can be used to tell where water is, and it’s usually made out of wood usually (it can be metal).
    These actually do work and has helped tribe’s people find water throughout the years. I don’t remember the science exactly right now, but those things actually do work and have a scientific reasoning. Just not at all for answering questions.
    It was used in a horror game once, but it actually worked because it wasn’t to tell where a ghost in general was. It was to tell there’s water in front of you so you don’t walk there. The ghost was a water ghost that tried to lure you into deep spots of water so she could pull you in.
    TDLR; they’re using dowsing rods completely wrong. They aren’t at all meant to communicate to dead people. They’re just to find water.
