I thought he had solved the locker issue.
That would have been more deserving for a reward than reading instructions...
Same
same
Lelaki Sebelah Pintu
He's a Somalian scammer pirate
-Me too 😂-
I'm a 13 year old boy developing a video game all on my own with no budget, and he gets famous for reading instructions.
G freakin' G
*****
go watch my latest video for instructions.
it's garbage compared to the other good games out there tbh
but it's still good in some ways...
idk
TwisterLord I was 10 when I started coding games
Father Mao
give me some credit, i'm atleast coding it from scratch
TwisterLord I started coding when I was 8
wow so cool you can make a Minecraft wow
Duracell hates this kid lol
JULIAN V haha
JULIAN V HAHAHA
existiince hi
XD
JULIAN
I thought this video was gonna be about how he created these hex bugs.
Armanie Mejia same
Armanie Mejia lol same
Armanie Mejia me too
Lol same
Same lol
so then he didn’t make a discovery... he just brought more attention to a simple instruction that no one reads
The 5 minute rule is enough for a school science fair, those are more about teaching other students about science things
Cryonic Two3 Still impressive.
It is not listed on the battery packs and even professionals don't offer this idea. I have been buying hearing aid batteries for 6 years and never heard of this. I found this link looking for battery science projects.
so how did " a kid who had trouble with his locker" relate to the story at all?
sargentCJ007 Ikr xD
sargentCJ007 to belittle him so his accomplishment seems more impressive
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING
You'd think a kid having trouble with his locker couldnt achieve much, but in fact...
At first I thought he was gonna do something to not have locker problems
step 1: read terms and conditions
step 2: become famous and feature on TV
step 3:???
step 4: profit
MoonMoon It's now working....mabye if I.....switc-....OOoh
mb316 South Park!
Very useful, but what if we do it this way in the context of tide pods and there warnings.
Step 1. Don’t read the instructions
Step 2. Feature On TV
Step 3. Die
Step 4. Profit
you know whats funny? there are 4 steps and there are 4 replies and now im the fifth C=
*_-Type Here-_* no there is no step 3 THERE IS NEVER A STEP 3
So he got rewards for for reading instructions on a battery box. It was probably a freak accident that he read the box also.
Atlas Hawks that's just it...no one ever reads the boxes!
Ok some people do....
Most inventions start by a simple "freak accident", don't get jealous.
Bennett Godinho-Nelson why would he be jealous he actually just read the box lol
Yeah I know, just trying to prove the point of most random accidents such as "looking at the box" creates massive explorations and inventions.
lol ikr
You're joking... I've bought my grandad hearing aids for years now, I leave them out for about 5-10 minutes (depends on my circumstance) and pop em in. I thought I was doing something casual.
ScorpsJunk Nstuff why do you leave the hearing aid out? You are soposed to do it to the battery (Lol)
Must have been a slow news day.
Fluttershy ikr , ikr
As slow as him?
Yay flutter shy
So let me get this straight. He read a label and got awards?
PeXxaN yep
PeXxaN yup
Pexxan no one else wanted to do it
He came up with the 5 minute rule tho, that's not on the label
Yeah, pretty much
Wow this dude didn't do anything he just read instructions pmg
Let me get this straight, he looked at the fine print of a battery pack and got an award for it!?!?
Spencer don't forget the part where he got national recognition on usa today!
Reece cline Like, I bet some of the other kids projects are more groundbreaking and amazing than this! I wasted 3 minutes lol
I feel like it was more about the "five minute" rule he came up with rather than figuring out batteries worked better exposed to air. But still
Spicy Fresh Kiddo the "five minute rule" or whatever has already been established a long time ago. He's just getting prais for discovering this himself
Walrus Paul he didn't even say what happened if you leave them out to long so I conducted a little science experiment of my own and found out if you leave batteries out for over an hour the get crusty and don't work because the liquid inside settles and all the electrons inside leave the battery
0:13 _grrrrrr_ .
Stay back
Ken Mendoza um ok
How to furry 101
Discover? The only thing he discovered is the label on the pack...
SoneDiadem then how did her know five minutes genius
Lunarcat Lord07 he tested dipshit and your obviously not the genius you can’t spell shit
Lunarcat Lord07 it was a small simple test
@@user-im2id7qz3x you're
Doge love u
So all he had to do was read the fine print on a battery box and he got 3 metals tf
gabriel s. Not just any metal at some school thats made of aluminum. Full on navy kinda metals. Like.... HOW?!?
Lol same profile pic
Ninja Ozai fuckn gas XD
gabriel s., OH !....... I HAVE AN IDEA !
I WILL DISCOVER THAT SMALL PIECES ARE A CHOKING HAZARD !!!!!! ........ XD XD XD
FLORIDAN MAPPER BRO HOW DID U COME TO THAT CONCLUSION my mind is freaking blownXDXDXDXD
It's like discovering that if you cook something longer it gets hotter
Lego Boss REALLY?
Lego Boss so trues
It will get hotter but it can't be like that forever all object have a melting point but if u just cook it it won't get as hot a lava or something and my grammar is bad my profile picture is bleach and u weren't that specific idk why I'm still typing...
Schet Boi no. Wet is an adjective for when water *adheres* to something. Water molecules *cohere* hence, water is not wet.
I just found out that my little brother's leggos are a choking hazard and I am gonna inform everyone so I will be saving children's lives hopefully I can get an award
Bebo I figured out if you lose your Lego instructions, you can download them from the Lego website!
dont
step
on them
Me: *Reads Battery label*
*Nothing happens*
Ethan: *Reads Battery Label*
*Gets Famous*
Ffs 😠
Gaming With Coco hes stupid
kolhet123 svenska no he’s not, he is just lucky
@*SlickySlickDo *, No, it's doesnt
j.0.s3. V *MAGIC*
So he read the label. And he gets all this... I can figure out how to keep a McDonald’s cheeseburger for a hour and all I get is diabetes
IM JOKING DON’T KILL ME.
Zabir Hossain dude😂😂
Shayla Wels I laughed so hard that my cheeseburger flew out my ass cheeks ooohhhh man gawwdddd daaaaaamnnnn!!!!
Oh Hellllllllll noooo
Terry Murray This funny right
Shayla Wels good luck with cleaning ur toilet
I'm just asking did anyone else think he was controlling the bug at 0:26
Xbox Games 787 i thought that was the thing he had dis but nope he was just reading some information off battery packs
Xbox Games 787 yep and I agree other replie
Xbox Games 787 me too
Me lol
Yeah I though he had a remote control for that bug...
Not gonna lie, this kid probably gets bullied
Brian Lau Lol.
Brian Lau especially when they realize he got national recognition just for reading directions
Brian Lau *OFC* -Not-
Brian Lau 100% true...i think they call him a "Nerd"
Brian Lau
Gotta bully him now. Soon he’ll be above all the peasants he goes to school with.
Wow he can read instructions so cool!
Something we can't do!
No, the instructions were vague and ambiguous. They did not inform the user of the optimum time to expose to air prior to use. They either didn't provide any information at all or provided inadequate information. Through experimentation he discovered the optimum air exposure time for maximum battery life and that is the sort of thing a scientist or engineer does. He also provided evidence not mentioned in this video that the battery manufacturers are dishonest since they probably already knew this but refused to provide it because maximizing battery life would cut into their profits.
Amairani Gutierrez XD
nunya biznez all he did was break it down at the end of the day he was just reading information
Amairani Gutierrez waste of 3 minutrs
"Wow lets give him 3 medals for reading!"
Joseph shaw Son, you are making a fool of yourself. Please learn to spell correct word is "medals". smh
SantaClaus HawkeyeNJ whoops i’ll edit it.
He figured out something that was ALREADY discovered and in paper....
wOW soN iM So iMprESseD!
It said 1 min. He invented the 5 min rule
The label said one minute
nobody reads anymore....
he did absolutely nothing
You did not watch the whole video.
WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT....not to sound jealous, but this kids getting praise for discovering something that was already printed on a label....Granted not many people know about it. But still, i guess this saves Hearing aid users some cash.......But he shouldnt take up a time slot cause he discovered something that some knew already existed. I mean i didnt even know it did, but i've never used these batteries, maybe once to power my sisters little barbie girl toy phones or something, but nothing important. It's the equivalent of someone saying that if you turn your xbox flat, instead of standing it up on it's side, the game won't get as scratched up, and getting praised for knowing it. I mean it's not common knowledge, but he didn't invent the xbox, he just knows something that SHOULD be common knowledge.....I am impressed with his project and analysis though........
ENDIEKID yeah
Depressing dot Co. i would read all that but no so can you make me a shorter one
*sigh*, fine, long story short this kid did an experiment that, while impressive in procedure, shouldn't be praised for what he's done. All he did was simply test something that, sure not everyone knew, but was even printed on the back of most, if not some, battery packs.
Depressing dot Co. I agree 100%. Its already known and printed on the pack. It basically just saves a select group of people a couple bucks. Its like reading a hazard sign and then going around everywhere screaming "THE FLOOR IS INDEED WET EVERYBODY, I REPEAT, THE FLOOR IS WET" No shit, its plastered on that hazard sign.
Depressing dot Co. ikr
so.. i wasted my time..
KatieSara ikr
KatieSara me too
KatieSara yeeeep
KatieSara yep so did i
KatieSara yes me too
So a normal science project... Someone in my class created a wind powered charger, but I guess no one cares about that. They just care about reading labels
Damn.
I successfully trained a goldfish to swim through an elaborate maze in 3 weeks in 17 seconds VS a rosie minnow who couldn't finish the maze at all and even discovered how fish can be trained to respond to sound so that fisherman can release their stocks and then call them back after training them because fish in the wild are healthier than factory fish and this kid gets an award for reading in middle school.
He didn't discover anything. The adults were just lazy and stupd to read instructions.
I have made a discovery. it is recommended you sit down while using VR. found it on the box
lol
Clap Reload I found out that you shouldn't eat razor keyboards
thats not true. I eat them all the time
Clap Reload lmfao
Amazing new discovery: always read the label.
Henry Ambrose amazing new discovery its not new the package says to do that
I found that you can use one of these “bugs” on yr girlfriend it’s cheaper than buying a vibrator!
Ok now where’s my award 🥇?!?!
The reason he was awarded was not from reading the package. The manufactures reconmend 1 min exposure before use. Thru scientific method, he determined the optimal exposure time of 5 minutes to gain max output life . The company's might be aware of this but why decrease sales by giving customer's 2 extra days use per week(5-7 days sited) per unit. Avg cost per unit approx. $0.30 per unit, 2 days extra per week x52 weeks 104 extra days. A cost savings of $4.50 annually per customer. According to www.hear-it.org 10 million people wear hearing aids alone translated as approximately + $45 million in overall sales lost on this aspect alone just in hearing aid driven sales if 100% implementation of his method of 5 minutes wait.
Hit news, "Boy learns to read instructions."
Brandon Almas lol
So basically he just acknowledged something that most people don't pay any attention to...? I mean god, at least add some kind of scientific evidence so you can prove what you're doing and make you look somewhat more, if at all intelligent...
I wouldn't say that I am hating on him, but rather the whole big deal that other people made of it. I'll be honest, as a person, he seems like a nice kid.
+TheGrayWolf81 oh by the way, electric devices don't like water = I AM AMAZING AT LIFE AND I RIGHT SCIENCE!!!! XD
He did give evidence behind his claims look him up through Google like many people did. The media only covers the gist of things, especially if it's a high school science fair. Is his experiment useful? Very just not for you and probably why you think it's stupid. Hearing aid batteries can be hefty pricing 50-70$ CAD for pack of 5. So having a 2 day increase on each is very useful.
Luke Fex I get that it's useful, and I don't think that it's stupid. But what I DO believe is stupid is that he didn't discover anything (it was already known before), yet he is now well known for something he never did. And like I said before, it's not the kid's fault, but the rest of the people who made a big deal out of it.
+TheGrayWolf81 Exactly, it even showed you a picture of the instructions on the batteries saying to leave them out for a minute before use so they last longer. He saw that and just thought, Ohh I'll take that and do an experiment to see if it works. Which obviously it does because, well, it's an the instructions of something. Title should be "Kid gets credit for reading something most people don't read"
This kid's getting praise for 'discovering' something that was already written on the back of a packet? Why? It's someone else's discovery. That's like me discovering that small parts are a choking hazard. NO SHIT! It's printed on everything that has small parts!
Imogen Nicholls yes but he discovered that leaving it out for longer that it lasts longer
Sir. Gloops that's literally what the tabs say
Rogue Empoleon no but he found out that if you leave it out for longer than what it says on the back that it will last longer than however much longer it was after 1 minute
Sir. Gloops pretty sure the people who make them knew that too.
Imogen Nicholls no
He read the label and told people. We must praise him.
Wow he waited 4 more minutes
?
He discovered something that already exists! So cool!
so all he did is change the battery
Exotic sSnipes not change it. Read the label
I read "Boy's Science Fair Project Turns into More than a Grenade" xD Why did I read it like that lol
lol
Ronan C i did too
I did the same
Ronan C call of duty ptsd
Cort Graham CS:GO* kek
AMAZING!!! HE KNOWS HOW TO READ!
I know how to install minecraft mods. Give me an award
and for my science fair i just demonstrated hydropower -_-
we dont do any -_-
Turtle And now they're here ( actual hoverboards, they are made to work on copper surfaces, Tony Hawk even tested a prototype )
+Hotsuni Moku same
reces
I was going to do a science far project on a car that ran on carbon dioxide and emitted clean oxygen and nitrogen
I was puzzled, what was he discovered? Isn't it just a battery lifespan?
I thought he made some robotic toys
He read some small text. On a box. This is honestly the stupidest thing in existence
Flora Lou Lumampao yes it was the Battery
Well he was the first to make a battery last longer. I mean the tested the battery and found out the best time to exposed the battery to the air. People will never left the battery exposed for 5 min even if it was by incident.
Flora Lou Lumampao it’s hexbug
Why was this on my recommended
Mason Opinion, because youtube
Mason Opinion because TH-cam's algorithm found that you should watch it because of certain tags and variables taken into account.
Mason Opinion it was on mine too
Idk, it was on mine too.
Mason Opinion TH-cam changing
Lmao he didn’t discover anything
Doesn't explain how that works. Gets a medal anyway. And two more in tow.
"It's easy to tell when they're dead. They stop moving!" NO SHIT SHERLOCK
BunnyLovesHam 😂
BunnyLovesHam
no, the kids know that( yes). But, he's mainly talking to the adults who don't know s*** about children toys.......
I just discovered that Bob... spelled backwards... is Bob. Oh shit! Where is my Nobel Peace Prize?!?!
That Fella Here *hands award*
You fella are a genius👏
Lol i didn't even realize your name was "that fella" until i finished writing the message. What a confidence😂
-Screws logic and doesn't find real job-
_Reads back of batteries and gets credit and moolah for it_
In Love Yet? Mula. Or mulah. Not moolah
that must be a cows money eh.. Moolah...
WOW you Ethan Manuell had discovered something that ALREADY existed such a genus..... hope you caught all of my sarcasticness
also i have never heard of you befor besides this short vidio published a YEAR a go
I once read on a box of soap don't eat and no one cared
This is interesting! I mean, I guess he deserves recognition, but there are a lot of other kids out there who have done so much but received little. I don't mean to be rude, but I have an anecdote (I hope you like reading):
When I was in 8th grade, a group of my friends and I compiled some research into a national competition (ExploraVision or Siemens or one of them). In short, it had to do with enhanced modifications to the current Cochlear implant device that implemented advanced techniques dealing with nanotechnology to allow a fully interior integrated implant (with other modifications allowing more effective hearing transmission) compared to the current, bulkier (though still minimally intrusive) model.
We got some recognition from the school and everything, and that was neat! We even made it into the "Top 500 Honorable Recognitions" in the country, but still, I think we fell victim of circumstance, as winner in another region (the competition is divided into regions) won the regionals with an invention dealing with the Cochlear implant, as well. I am not trying to sound jealous or annoyed, but my point is...
We all need to be more aware of the amazing innovations youths are coming up with. There are so many entries into these competitions every year and it's like you barely hear about ANY OF THEM. That's what bothers me. We did so much work, and got a certificate (and a solar-powered globe) to show for it. Nothing more. I am incredibly grateful. It was a priceless experience. But so many schools and competitions receive these entries and not much more is done in many cases. While discoveries like this kid made are really encouraging and outstanding, we also need to hone in on the other outstanding works students across the country are striving to do!
Thanks for reading. ;) Good luck to this kid and to all others in their future endeavors.
Jadon Ogala Ogala Great! Develop it into a comprehensive research and analysis-or any presentable form for that matter-and show people your idea. Make sure to claim it as yours so nobody else can take it. If it is a serious idea you want to take far, you can try getting a patent for it, but then you would probably have to prove that your idea will be developed.
Good luck! I'm rooting for you!
Jadon Ogala Ogala :) Of course!
Joe N, wow you made an essay.
HAHAHHAAH
Dang that's a messy locker
Where's my recognition for reading an instructions manual?
CB 10 idk
CB 10 are you 14 if not you can't have one
CB 10 where's my recognition for teaching decimals better the the effing teacher who were supposed to teach us
I’m gonna go refrigerate a coco cola and win the school prize because it’s best after refrigerating for 45 minutes exactly. I measured it in my underpants.
I got 3rd place in a science fair for putting a bunch of drinks in the fridge and waiting a day to see which one is colder
I never was allowed to do the science fair. Discontinued before I hit that grade.
sponsored by hexbug
wait this is ON the paskage
o nvm
It's Black yea
i remeber i made a small super conductor in elementry and what i got second place to a lava backing volcano
Grand Eel your school was rigged
Grand Eel the Russians rigged the fair 😂😂😂
I built my own intelligent AI and I'm 13 where's my praise?
G freaking g
I don't think so. If so then what language did you use? Where is the source code? I would like to get into that stuff.
tekmoo I lied about my age. I'm actually 22 in MIT doing an engineering course and I've moved on to the level where we code complex functions to be able to correspond along with our products we are making. I was tasked to create an artificial AI with 3 other guys and we have came a long way. My job is to build the physician parts of the project and they all help code with me. It's very difficult but we're close to finishing. We've got up to the point where you can have a conversation with the AI by voice command. I'm hoping to finish it in 4/5 months.
mini dwarfdude cool! You appear to have a bright future ahead of you
tekmoo You got rekt lol
mini dwarfdude nice! Best wishes and I hope you do good with it! Hows MIT btw, thinking of going there
Due to his locker troubles, his medal was stolen and he was assassinated, that’s how life works...
Thats it? Battery life? What a disappointment understand his help but i was honestly expecting more
The sentence below is true
The sentence above is a lie
Nicholas Mendoza my mind is blown
Both are a lie...they aren't sentences because there is no *FULL STOPS!*
*rekt by a grammer nazi*
Thus they are both lies
And if you read the printing on a box you'll make it onto Syfy
StavrosTheMaster gg well played I’m not even gonna disagree
In other news, boy learns to cut his fingernails.
Gets 10 nobel prizes
So he discovered that people should read the instructions on battery packs. OK.
Oh man he took knowledge that many people already knew about and got all that... what about the kids who actually put effort into their projects and thought outside the box
he didnt discover it, he's the first one to share the idea, i used to do that back when i was 8
I built a time machine and I'm only 8, where's my praise?
G freaking g
I PIKLE RICK
*Stop*
Hey its me, your brother.
im 2 years old and i build a most dangerous nuclear where my praise??
meme-sama! Hey Kim Jong Un
Not as good as curing deafness but okay.
He is a kid not a miracle XD
+Valeria Limon it doesn't take a miracle to solve deafness
+Cry6ix you did not understand my comment....
Valeria Limon explain it so
+The Super Psycho Killer love your profile pic
SLAPPPPPYYYY!!!
next thing you know a kid makes a pencil sharpener and gets a Nobel prize lol
Well, a kid making a pencil sharpener all on his own would be more deserving of some bs reward than just reading the instructions.
TwisterLord honestly making something uses the hearing aid battery's is more impressive
dj enderman HD, I put to knifes together with sharp side facing each other and made a device that cuts paper. I think I will call it scissors
What makes him special is not because he can read label and follow the instruction given, it is the way he did the research to justify the theory and get the result, where most of us didnt really care.
He should be awarded for good reading skills, you can't forget that.
bruh i thought he invented the hex bugs not reading instructions
So wait.
What he discovered is when you remove the battery from the packaging, you leave the tab that came with it on for five minutes before you remove it?
EDIT:
Okay this time I actually took half an effort to pay attention:
You have to remove the battery from the package, remove the tab, THEN wait five minutes for greater battery life. Okay okay I get it now.
Good job Ethan.
This just explains the internet.
He read a package and simplified it and shared it and he’s now winning awards.
The people who make the battery’s know to keep the tabs on but it’s not clear.
He just read a package and won awards
This really wasn’t as big of a deal as I thought. They made it sound like he cured cancer
so you can get famous for reading a label... ATTENTION PEOPLE: The correct serving size for 1 block of ramen is a 1/2 block, so... Where is my Nobel peace prize?
Twooter _ here you go🔖📃💳💷💶 thank you youve saved me mnow i can enjoy raman like i was suppose to and here is the key to the world🗝.
I'd like to thank my family for pushing me to learn to read, My elementary teachers for teaching me to read, And ramen noodles for putting the correct serving size on the packages l
Twooter _ congrats man you also won a prestigious naval science award to. 👏👏👏
Not much of a science fair, I don't see how that was such a big deal, or discovery.
+unusual taunts Was neither. Simply someone was reading something instead of playing video games (I mean Who reads now a days)
Wolferton16 when it's kids, media goes all over that shit. a lot of people fall for it, too
2:54 oh god
THE BEST HOBO it's the next Zuckerberg lizard
Smileeee
He is so bullied
he stole a discovery from a battery. from a battery pack
Julio Rosiles omg hes so smart -.-:
"I am a perfect student, where is my prize?" I don't want a prize. Props to this kid for taking advantage of the system.
When I think scientist....or major medical discovery....that kid fighting with his locker is the EXACT image that I conjured up. Sorry to ruin your intro.
Wow! Mmm didn't I read the same thing somewhere on the Internet. But I'm sure this isn't new. Some people know. Many don't know.
The Worst Channel, (sarcastically) wow, just wow ! and all i did was explain an efficient and clean energy resource that is found on the gas giants and the moon.... 😒
3 medals just for reading the instrustions?! wow what an accomplishment for an 8 year old.
not only was it not his findings but they didn't even explain the science behind it
Hang on, if he read it from the battery pack or whatever doesnt that mean it was already discovered?
2:04 *yah i sure hope it does*
Lol I get it
wow he can read
Give this kid a reward for reading a label
This guy must have lots of friends
He didn’t make any discovery he just read the instructions 🧐
This kid got lucky, all he did was read a label,then after he got all that fame he started thinking he was smart one example is 1:36, and if that want enough they actually tried to compare him to scientists and people with big titles when all he did was discover one life hack,while you can discover lots just by going to TH-cam.
At first I thought he made HEX Bugs
WRITING CLASS TODAY same 😂 I was much more disappointed at the end though
as I was clicking this video, I expected for the kid to find a cure for a sickness or something, but no, he made news for reading instructions.
He did what no one could.
Read instructions on a better package.
he gets famous from reading a damn label?!?!?
What was the point of the locker scene at the start? Who agrees?
TheWildBadger yep XD
Probably so people in the comments feel bad for his locker not shutting and won't make fun of him.
