1
I was scrolling on eBay when I came across a real and living alien egg for sale.
2
Apparently, we can hatch a creature that moves without a body, is extremely clever without a brain, and eats other animals.
3
Can escape, doubles in size daily, feeds non-stop.
4
Nah, what do you mean?
5
I'm gonna get this thing and see if anything even arrives.
6
Guys, check, I just got home and I wonder if this is actually them.
7
Oh yeah, it says eBay.
8
Alright, let's see if we got scammed because I'm pretty sure aliens don't exist.
9
What is that?
10
Where's the.. the eggs?
11
Whoa.
12
Whoa, what are those?
13
As it turns out, this yellow speck in the capsule is our dormant alien.
14
And seeing as the eBay listing said, just add water, I added some clean reverse osmosis water to a dish and put our egg on it.
15
And let's give it some food, I think that's what this is for.
16
For the next 12 hours, we let our alien egg incubate in the heat chamber.
17
But at some point in the middle of the night, life emerged from the dissolved remains of its egg.
18
What is that?
19
That thing's moving.
20
It didn't see that oak that we gave it, so let's give it another one and see what it does.
21
Guys, I think we have a problem.
22
Our alien has doubled in size overnight.
23
I didn't really believe the eBay listing when it said that these guys grow fast, but this is insane.
24
I'm kind of worried that it might escape because the listing said that they could, but apparently these petri dishes are airtight and have also raised our alien off the ground,
25
so surely it won't escape.
26
But just in case, we also got this powder with our alien that's meant to instantly kill him.
27
Now, I will test this powder later on, but for now, I have some things I want to test on our alien.
28
And first, I want to see what his favorite food is.
29
We've got a moldy carrot, rotten potato, spaghetti, oats and honey.
30
And for the next 12 hours, I thought our alien would only eat the oats as that's what he's used to.
31
But the moment he touched the potato, he exploded in growth.
32
In fact, he actually pulled away from the honey and easily flattened the spaghetti that I struggled to cut with a knife.
33
Whoa guys I'm kind of worried about his appetite.
34
I actually wanted to feed him some meat but I'm genuinely worried
35
that he might love it as much as he loves the spaghetti.
36
And I really don't want to be cutting up meat for an alien just to keep him fed especially
37
because he's trying to climb the walls of this petri dish trying to find more food.
38
However seeing as he quite liked that spaghetti I'm thinking of calling him Slime Shady
39
and I'm also going to use that spaghetti to test how clever he actually is by getting him to solve a maze.
40
Some of you might remember this but this is the same maze we use for our ants.
41
There's a dead end, a simple path and a complicated path and
42
if Slime Shady truly is able to escape like the ebay
43
listing said then he should be able to get out
44
and solve a maze to find his favorite food all right guys well let's see what our alien does overnight
45
she probably got it bad
46
For the next two days, I stopped feeding Slime Shady to see
47
if it was actually possible for him to escape and
48
if he could we could also test
49
if he was clever enough to solve a maze however he
50
completely outsmarted us well guys slam shady is in the maze
51
and it seems like he somehow caught a fly here
52
and he ate its head
53
but um i think we might have underestimated how intelligent he
54
is he is avoiding the maze he is going around the maze to get to his food here.
55
I am very concerned.
56
Let's see what he keeps on doing.
57
I wonder if he's actually gonna get the food or what.
58
But once again, he did something we could have never predicted.
59
While running over towards his food, he randomly stopped and just climbed this wall and then mutated.
60
I don't really know what this is, but I think he is now releasing spores to spread around.
61
However, he still managed to complete the maze and get to his food. And
62
while we didn't really see it properly on the time-lapse he
63
did go down every single path until he found the best one there.
64
Wow.
65
Guys if this maze proves anything it's that Slime Shady is actually really good at escaping.
66
He got out of his petri dish and he solved this maze simply
67
because I stopped feeding him and he got hungry
68
and I mean well we don't really have a way to contain him anymore
69
which is why i have a secret to share with you you might have seen it
70
but slime shady actually splits up into two parts
71
when he first hatched
72
and i kind of did take slime shady junior away to do some experiments on him what i discovered is
73
that slime shady obviously multiplies
74
and grows every time he splits up he can live on wet paper instead of just a bit of water
75
which is why we used paper in the maze
76
and salt actually works really well as a barrier to stop him from escaping
77
which is perfect because i don't want him to escape
78
and search for any other food than what i give him
79
but seeing a slime shady himself hasn't seen a salt barrier
80
yet i'm going to add a salt barrier around him to see how well it contains him
81
and as we can see the salt barrier actually works really well at holding him back.
82
Slime Shady was moving in this direction when I added the salt
83
but after a few hours he started to sense it was there and decided to turn around.
84
Damn guys that salt actually worked really really well.
85
So now we can experiment on him without worrying about him escaping
86
which brings us back to Slime Shady Jr. He's been separated from Slime Shady for two weeks now
87
while I experimented on him.
88
And honestly, I feel kind of bad.
89
He's cold up in a little bowl, half dormant on this paper, not eating the different food I have given him,
90
not growing, not doing anything because of all the salt around him.
91
So I think it'll be interesting to see how Slime Shady reacts when we let them reunite.
92
However, this is the biggest mistake you could make when owning a pet alien.
93
The only time Slime Shady has ever seen Salt was when he ran away from it earlier.
94
He absolutely hates it.
95
However, Slime Shady Jr. has grown up with Salt.
96
He's been surrounded by Salt his entire life, which means that he has grown used to it.
97
Guys, I've been feeding Slime Shady
98
and getting him to join with Slime Shady Jr. for the past two days
99
but this morning he started to cross the salt barrier for some reason
100
and after researching why i just found out
101
that they can share memories bro i cannot believe this
102
but it literally is a thing that they can do oh he's completely crossed
103
that salt barrier that was there oh no Well guys, I've been feeding Slime Shady today and thinking about his new abilities.
104
And I think we need to skip the next experiment and jump straight to the kill powder.
105
Not only is he making these black spores everywhere he goes, which could be deadly, but he escaped the Petri dish,
106
then the maize, and now the salt barrier.
107
And if I'm not careful, he could escape this tray tonight.
108
I'm sorry Slime Shady, I feel really bad.
109
But of course, Slime Shady has a different plan.
110
Overnight, the powder started to do its job and kill him off.
111
But after a few hours, it didn't seem to have much of an effect on him.
112
In fact, not only did he leave behind the parts of his body that got infected, kind of like how lizards drop their tails,
113
but he even started to eat some of this poison.
114
Oh, guys, not again.
115
Please, not again.
116
Did he eat this stuff and become immune to it too?
117
He's supposed to absorb that and die.
118
Nah, you can't kill him.
119
What are you doing?
120
Well, he could escape and hurt us.
121
Like, he's already got the taste for meat.
122
Like, he caught a fly.
123
Yeah, but can't you give it to someone that knows what they're doing?
124
Maybe.
125
Actually, I could use this.
126
Let me try this. so Where
127
you going?
128
I need to send this to Tara Green.
129

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
