I Spent 24 Hours Blind Folded - & it Changed My Perception
Ойын-сауық
Spending 24 hours in the dark. When I emerge, will I be like Riddick? Or will something else more interesting happen? This video is my journey spending the entire day blindfolded.

Lucas being worried he scared people by joking around with 'ketchup' while his hand is covered in mustard was way too funny and adorable
The mustard scene was hilarious

Honestly Lucas, this might be one of the most important videos you've ever made. I think many people would be a lot happier if they were more grateful for all the small things in life. I'm honestly a much more thankful person after watching this video - So thank you!

When a viewer calls a youtuber by his actual name, you know they're serious.
I’ve actually done this before after wondering what it would be like if I woke up blind. I put on a big blindfold before bed and then woke up to go through my whole day blindfolded. I started off the day meditating and it really is surreal the longer you go. My hearing got crisper and things were louder or I could notice them more. That cool sense (probably just sense of touch that I didn’t notice) that lets you know when something is in front of your face was really weird and super helpful. I found my memory to be better bc I had to be super attentive to everything. Throughout the day, I tried some martial arts, working out, and then I ended up using a stick to help me walk around my neighborhood. Everything else was me just experiencing and experimenting with what life is like with no vision. Absolutely phenomenal and I recommend it for everyone. I want to do it again soon when my schedule gets freed up. Quick note I was able to balance walk on a 4 x 4 piece of wood but I was using my feet to dip walk and keep contact with the wood for the whole time. I think just walking is insanely harder. Great video and really cool that I’m not the only one to randomly do this 😅

same i watch pigmie videos a lot. i wanted to do this challenge so i searched it up and he’s done it, so i’m just watching to see if i can get any tips from this before i try it myself
I'm a totally blind person since I was at second years of computer science college. I got Glaucoma. Now I can get by life pretty well and I work as software engineer. And the only workout routine I can safely do on my own is calisthetic stuff. All I wanna say is don't forget to be grateful and don't take anything for granted

Why did this seem like just another time-based challenge video that you dont think much of, but it ends up being a groundbreaking, eye-opening, mini doc? It seems like even Pigmie underestimated the challenge lol
"Can you drive?". 🤣🤣🤣 My wife and I laughed out loud so hard! 🤣🤣🤣
This is absolutely bizarre, I thought about doing this earlier this morning. I thought about how I don't read enough, and how I don't appreciate it or have a great attention span even when I do, and if I didn't have this gift, how I'd appreciate so much having audio books, and hang on every word, absorbing it all in an appreciative grateful meditative state. Even if the book isn't everything I wanted to capture me, the process of taking it in would mean a lot, instead of having a ton of books piling up that are gathering dust. Anyway, I believe this is the first time I've ever thought about doing this, and most likely not for an entire day but for a few hours (I do have stairs as well, bit risky). A dopamine detox doesn't get better than doing this, and I'd suggest if anyone is thinking the same then to do it first thing in the morning, for a lot of reasons.
And you nailed it man, because you were focused 👈🏼👀
Lucas, you did a great job. Being Legally blind, I would have recommended that you have A long Playlist of soft music to play and audiobooks ready to help kill some of the boredom and loneliness. The use of a stick or a broom handle would have helped you navigate even better. I use my cane and sometimes my Bo staff. Now that you've done it for 24 hours, if you do it for 1 hour somewhere in the near future you'll then notice have quickly all those other senses kick in. You gotta focus! Peace out.
When I had COVID I lost my taste and smell (AND appetite). As a serious chef/foodie/food critic, it was so depressing. We wouldnt get up to make meals because whats the point if you cant taste anything. So then we figure "we may as well eat the healthiest that we can (like bitter/earthy foods even)" It introduced us to fasting, healthier eating, appreciating food more (and our sense of smell and taste), and becoming more conscious of how food is really just a pleasure at the end of the day The ultimate conclusion is that every sense is a pleasure, when we're without it for too long, well get antsy and get withdrawals and our minds will be frustrated because were not satisfying these "pleasures". Therefore the point of human life is to experience everything as it is and take it all in, smell the roses, and enjoy the view while were here.
being blindfolded in the car with your wife and the way you interacted reminded me so much of being with someone while they're tripping
This is really fascinating to know how those who lose their vision so abruptly manage day to day life. I myself am going blind but my vision loss is gradual so as my vision decreases I learn new coping skills. As for walking in that parking lot, trust me, you won’t do that “alone” so to speak. You would have your trusty white cane to help you to not fall into the lake and to detect level changes. Cooking is a challenge, but blind organisations have rehab centres that will teach you to cook. So yes we blind people can use that sharp chef’s knife safely!
I was wondering why something felt so familiar... Then it hit me. You look like Daredevil in season 1 😂😂
25:47 yes, ketchup
awesome video dude. had no idea you did stuff like this as well, apart from all the workout vids. I've been subscribed but haven't really watched your content much, but I watched this entire 40 min thing pretty much in one go, and it was great lol. very interesting, fun, eye opening, humbling and thought provoking. loved it, great stuff !
I say go for the hearing next.........much harder to do because no matter how you block out sound you can still hear your own voice. When I go through bouts of not hearing I can't hear my voice..........totally alone.
Man I was so excited when I saw this vid !! I’d do love to take this on one day lol

great content man. been watching you for at least 5 years now and your videos are better than ever in my opinion. keep it up brother
So your telling me doing this can turn me into daredevil alright then
Lucas this was super powerful and you killed this amazing work
I used to do this as a kid, I watch so much martial arts and batman, I started doing this to increase my other senses, or walk in the crib with no lights on. It definitely works....
Great video. So inspiring. Btw. The camera auto focus is excellent.
Keep up the great content PIGMIE
One thing that I've heard is that our pets don't react to sounds we didn't notice because they hear better than us - they listen better than us. We mostly don't have to worry about predators sneaking up on us and take in so much information visually that we just tune out a lot of sounds and smells that other species don't because we decide that they're not important before they reach our consciousness. Take away sight and the things like the sounds echoing off the wall in front of you become more important because they're providing information you can't get through another sense. In other words, it all comes down to... FOCUS.
Best video so far!!! Excellent content!!!

Gosh, this was also hard for me to imagine by watching you...honestly I was laughing so much when you were trying to find the lake that was in frame the whole time😂😂 losing my sight is one of my biggest fears...this was 'eye opening' to say the least, and I often try to remind myself to be grateful for the small things, but I think I fall short a lot. right now I am grateful I even get to sip filtered water in an air conditioned room on my comfy bed♥
I'm not blind. But I'm autistic. The stuff about hearing everything is how I always am. It's VERY overstimulating! Thank you for the inspiration and understanding.

I think you did really good I am visionly impaired and it is a struggle day today but this actually is kinda motivating and I think it is really educational experience and I think it gives people more understanding on how being blind feels and works I know that wasn't the whole reason behind it but I got a lot of respect for u love the videos and I am glad I subscribed to ur channel
I have tried flipping on ground blindfolded and so far all I can get is aerial, b-twist, sideflip/webster and cheat gainer. I'm not even comfortable doing a backflip blindfolded yet lol.
I really appreciate your hard work
"Not quite like daredevil hah" got me-
That music build up while you were cooking was dope too. Nail biting suspense
This is one of the best video which I was waiting for you
I believe this is my favorite one as my grandmother was blind before she passed. Thanks Pigmie for your experience
Dude, you're nuts! I LOVE IT!
HAHAHAHAH “it’s ketchup”
It’s good you did this one. I see the world in just shapes and colors with out my glasses my eyes got so bad from cataracts that I went blind for just over 2 days when my retinas got hurt I learned what can possibly my futur it was hard to take in
I can’t stop watching his videos. Very nice content ☝🏼
is incredible that i always was thinking to do that to see how it feels...thanks for sharing
You should do this for a week like your other videos this is awesome ❤️
One of the most intense cooking sequences I have ever seen 🤣🤣
DUDE YOU MADE YOUR DINNER BLINDFOLDED, that’s superb and after fasting too. I couldn’t do that with eyes open
"Just kidding guys. It's ketchup." Covered in mustard🤣
Good for you man. ❤✊
I can tell this is gonna be epic
Bro look out or you’ll trip 😂😂
It'd have been so funny if he shited on the sofa thinking its the toilet
THE “KETCHUP”😂😂😂😂😂😂
great vid ..id like to suggest u try 10 days of vision improving exercises aka bates exercises or other...
Bodyweight Beast 3.0: Birdbox Edition
Wow, that was one of the most interesting experiments I saw from you until now. Would you try disabling other senses in upcoming videos? Like a day without hearing anything ... Or a day not using your legs around your city.
"And I have no friends." That part made me laugh so hard 🤣
“Can you drive?” 😳 I would hope so!
my Grandmother went blind from RP when i was a kid. she stayed working for 10 years in real estate being legally blind. she just needed to hire someone who could drive her around to clients. she was one hell of an inspiration. strongest person i've ever known.
Just kidding guys it's Ketchup the Mustard😐
His disbelief at not being able to walk across cracked me up.
“It’s ketchup, guys. It’s just ketchup don’t worry.” 😂😂😂
“I FEEL LIKE IM GETTING BETTER WITH FEEL” 💯
He says he has no friends Me: your not alone Maybe we could be friends
"ketchup" xD
I'm legally blind and found this actually pretty funny, lol.
Definitely going to blindfold myself now.
As a blind person who has to live with us everyday, I really enjoy this kind of content. I think more people need to learn to experience other ways of life
I need a longer Version 😗😂😂😂😂😂 Daredevil, Also: Ketchup 😐😂
25:39 it is only ketchup 🤣🤣🤣
You inspired me to watch this video blindfolded
my thoughts on why you probably didnt sleep well was that the tiredness was due to mental exhaustion but physically your body most likely had quite a bit of energy left at night because it can be pretty hard to achieve a bunch of physical activity blind, especially for someone who usually burns a ton of energy through exercise. i also think most people are aware of physical and mental exhaustion but i feel like its not acknowledged enough, especially for how widely beneficial it can be for tons of people. ive always had terrible sleep issues even though i always felt exhausted. i had really strong ADHD but also was pretty high-functioning in the sense that i was always exercising my mind because i love learning new things and would kind of set little silly goals for myself (much like how you do with your channel which i really enjoy), but i wasn't super active physically other than a bit of soccer and skateboarding with friends (which was mainly all legs, my upper body barely got much activity other than some rotational strength here and there), and it wasnt till later in my life i really tried pushing myself a bit more physically and tried to tone down overusing my brain more than i need to while still trying to exercise it, and just overall balancing mental exhaustion and physical exhaustion. now i sleep pretty well. (most of the time). "a strong body makes the mind strong" an old, over-quoted quote by thomas jefferson, but just because it's over-quoted does not make it untrue. i want to note, i'm not a health expert so i'd take my words pretty lightly and not too seriously but it's something i felt i could at least say because it helped me and might help some random person scrolling the comments. also, fantastic video. it was a super fun and interesting watch.
Not the mustard hahahha
Facts 💯 W
THE MUSTARD @25:40
And think about this: There are those with blindness that have to navigate the world outside their home and property. THAT TAKES SO MUCH COURAGE
“The wife is at work and I got no friends!” 🤣
He's training his spider sense.
My man is the next daredevil
What is the coffee machine you use? I envy your morning coffees ☕ 🤯
so basically went ninja mode
I can't even imagine myself doing this, as I'm already lacking one of my senses(smell) it'd be even harder(yes, I'm at the part when he was smelling things)
9:59 hmmm
Its crazy when he says siri what time is it and my siri turns on bruh 😂
Daredevil bro 😂😂
Lucas ur the best
I got scared with the ketchup 😅😂
You look just like Alfredo Linguini of Ratatouille in the kitchen when he was blind folded with a mouse on his head. At least he had a mouse to guide him.

It was smart of him to ask that shrimp to fry his rice since he can't see.
I've tried blind folding myself and practicing my martial arts.
I try this on a very small scale, I have all my lights turn off 1hr before bed and I have blackout curtains so it gets daaaaark in my house. And simple tasks like walking in to the kitchen and getting a glass of water takes like 20 mins.
man i laughed so muchhh
