    Huh, it really makes you think… some people have no idea how to run an experiment or about statistical significance.

      Nah, they actively avoid it. My mom was also like this, and when we did experiments as a kid and something didn’t work “we were just doing it wrong”.

        Sounds like my mom too.

        She practiced reiki at one point and wanted to convince me it works by trying it on me. When I said I didn’t feel anything at all her reply was “oh well that’s probably just because you don’t believe in it.”

        …I love you mom, but yes that is it and not in the way you think it is lol

          …but she’s right, people feel better from alternative medicine by believing that it work, it’s placebo

    Rice confirmed sentient and sapient. Vegans everywhere are in tears. International governments are drafting a Bill of Rice to ensure the rights of these beings. Churches are redirecting rice purchased for weddings to be given directly to their missionaries. Little do we know, the grains will soon band together and revolt, and the Rice War will be upon us.

      Once I saw some amazing effect after talking positively to water too. I came to the scientific conclusion the acid I took was really good.

      Masaru Emoto’s “experiments” are not scientifically legit. They are at best artistic photography. But his so-called science in regard to water/ice crystals is rubbish and does not stand up to scrutiny, it is not reproducible. He makes a lot of money from common people at his events.

    I think this is a wink towards the idea that your plants grow better when you talk lovey-dovey to them

      It is probably true though. Speaking to them every day, means looking at them every day and thus seeing problems immediately. Okay, so not true, but still effective.

        I’m also open to the idea of doing research if sound waves stimulating something, somehow. At least there’s something to look at. But writing on a jar? That’s just nonsense.

          Absolutely. Everyone knows rice is illiterate, they should have taken barley

    Eww after four days that rice is very much ruined. Freeze your rice and you can put the most vile words you want on the jar. Or not, because this is stupid and you’re wasting rice.

    If rice has feelings, consider the unimaginable horror you’re inflicting when you eat a bowl of it for lunch.

      i would fucking hope it’s dead by then, just like how i don’t worry about the feelings of a cooked porkchop

      the horrifying part is when the rice is harvested and processed, dear lord

    And this is how you fail in teaching your children science.
