  • I just don't get it. Where's the camera? And where is the speaker that's supposed to be producing the sounds? It sounds like it's been edited in over the video. That's not to say it's not doing what it's supposed to, I just don't quite understand.

    Isn't it pretty stupid to say it "makes any object interactive"? All it does is look at your fingernails, so of course it makes no difference what you're touching. You could be touching your other hand! It's just bizarre..

  • This scares me so much. D:

  • Aren't there cameras in there that detect how tight you squeeze it by reading the pressure on your fingernails according to their colour?

  • 110 characters; including spaces, apostrophes, and periods.

  • pretty sure this was an early april fool's joke two years ago

  • hahahahahahahahahahaahaha what the hell was that

  • if i pet rock acted like that with me, I WOULD HAVE IT PUT DOWN!

  • just what the fuck was that

  • Don't get caught by apparence. This rock can kill you if you're not nice with

  • it's fake. He's just editing fake sounds onto a video of him touching a rock.
