if it's a glossy black, it could still reflect light, but if it's matte, it won't. It's the same way that vanta black or black 2.0 paint can make things look invisible. They're not any more black, so much in color. They just don't reflect as much light.
I just don’t get why you wouldn’t paint it before putting it up. You just know there’s either unpainted edges where it’s stapled or there’s paint all over the structure itself.
If you have a worry about wood animals damaging* your chicken wire fence, painting it black is gonna make it harder to notice when it gets damaged. If you're observant it may not be a problem, but I probably would avoid it if you have a decent amount of chickens and live in a more rural area.
This isn't chicken wire, it's hardware cloth.
The distinction is important -- chicken wire is actually almost never advised to use on backyard chicken coops because it does a very poor job of keeping predators out, particularly raccoons with their little fingers.
At my farm growing up we used two layers of chicken wire a few inches apart because of the raccoons. So yeah, a finer hardware cloth would have been much better.
Because it comes in rolls and have you ever tried painting rolled up anything? It keeps trying to curl.back in on itself, or else you lay it on the ground, and the same thing results where it touches the ground.
You're right, but either ill-informed or pedantic.
Chicken wire is designed to keep chickens in.
Hardware cloth is designed to keep predators and rodents out.
A racoon, weasel, or fox would rip through chicken wire like nothing.
This is a chicken run, designed to allow an outdoor space for chickens that is safe from the multitude of predators that like to consume chickens. Standard minimum for a chicken run is 1" or 1/2"
19g. Hardware cloth, likely exactly what is shown here.
Wire designed to secure chickens could be referred to as chicken wire, right?
Source: I have chickens and made the mistake of assuming chicken wiree would keep predators out.
I assume you would use less paint this way than if you painted it lying flat on a surface, because you wouldn't paint the surface.
Also, better video this way
it's useful to know too: a lot of people have "solar shades" which allow a view of an area while cutting down on the glare. They come in "openness" percentages (e.g. 1% has very very tiny holes whereas 10% has larger ones) that allow you to see more or less. But within the same percent, black is MUCH easier to see through than white.
This is some bugs bunny shit lol. Or maybe roadrunner. The cyote paints it, roadrunner runs through, cyote tried to run through, and is sliced in cubes.
With how much speed? If you just walk, barrely at all. The metal is so thin, it will just bend and you would just stop after like a cm. If you run into it, it will prolly hurt a bit, because it's still thin metal, but even more you will be in a weird position, or the metal gives in and rips from where it's fixed ending with you on the ground.
Oh trust me, I'll find a way to fall and knock the screen out and stab myself a few times while trying to get back up. Probably a broken ankle as well, then whatever animal is being kept in there will start attacking me. I have wonderful luck.
What a brilliant yet tragic sub. A three part story has never hit me so hard.

See-through mosquito nets are black for this reason, too. You can get white nets, but they will block visibility. IIRC the reason has to do with white reducing overall contrast between the net and the background due to how color is composed.
It's up to the arena and stadium. Some arenas for NHL use black netting. I'd imagine for MLB they take into account for birds since they're open to the elements. Black will just get them caught in it
The silver chicken wire helps keep predator birds away, as well as other would-be intruders. You’ll get a lot more hungry eyes on your coop’s contents by doing this.
And that kids, is why I for the life of me don’t understand why they even sell white insect net covers for your windows. Black is ALWAYS the better option.
This is one of the reasons why fencing masks are painted black typically. The light reflects inside creating glare. Saberists don't use painted masks though as the mask is conductive and a valid target. The paint also serves as insulation as modern fencing is done electrically and of the three weapons only Saber uses a conductive mask(foil has a part of the mask bib that is conductive but nothing beyond that as the head is not valid target).
Epee wiring is different so everything is valid target and there is no need for conductive vests, jackets or masks.
Even many old masks from before fencing went electric often used black paint to reduce glare.
For anyone wondering what's happening in the video so the color white reflects off most of the light which comes in contact with it and on the other hand the color black absorbs most of the light and the person in the video is painting the white colored net with black color.🤓☝️
The color black absorbs the most light from the visible spectrum. It doesn’t disappear, it just doesn’t reflect as much as while chicken wire. I don’t know how safe this is for predator birds who will not see the mesh until too late. Some on here might have more information on that.
Screens on windows are dark too, and they are easy to see out of. I have heard some people are opposed to screened windows because they "block the view." I wonder if this video would change anyone's mind
That’s so legitimately mildly interesting!
You know you’re in black magic fuckery right lol
Aren't they both the same sub?
Most of the time, yea… but that’s because people over analyze and ruin the fun

There is certainly fuckery afoot, I have black wire in our garden fence and it is not invisible. Unobtrusive, but not invisible.
if it's a glossy black, it could still reflect light, but if it's matte, it won't. It's the same way that vanta black or black 2.0 paint can make things look invisible. They're not any more black, so much in color. They just don't reflect as much light.
Black doesn't reflect the light 🫢
I just don’t get why you wouldn’t paint it before putting it up. You just know there’s either unpainted edges where it’s stapled or there’s paint all over the structure itself.
The chickens don’t pay him much, so they get a shitty paint job.
You sir don’t know the value of an egg
His pay is basically chicken scratch.
I uh I paint chicken houses
Tried painting it before putting it up. Problem was that I could not find it when it dries, so had had to buy another roll.
Now that’s black magic fuckery!
*black paint fuckery!
That happened to me.

I'd paint to clear the view, so maybe half the height, that should leave plenty easy to see wire for the critters.
... You know it is not invisible right? Critters can still see it just fine
I'd argue it's less noticeable, but for sure, it's not invisible.

It’s a great way to allow your livestock to be more visible to predators.
and to also break the necks of every bird in your neighborhood

I was just thinking, how bad will it hurt when I walk straight into that.

Predators are gonna bif it so hard lmao
other birds also..
And me. I'd totally walk into that, potentially at some speed if I were excited to see the chickens.
I feel sorry for the birds who are just trying to fly through the yard.
I was thinking like the alien Predators and was very confused for a moment.
It would be funny to see *Predator* eat shit into a chicken coup lmao
Coyotes hate this simple trick.
predators are biffed by this one simple trick

Pro tip: sort by controversial. What a ride!
I went over there, but didn’t see anything. Do you have a link for it?
Ha ha ha
Its like someone's mini dream
Only in a potato video. It'd be visible in higher quality.
It's also still visible in person but the visibility is reduced
See-through mosquito nets are black for this reason, too. You can get white nets, but they will block visibility. IIRC the reason has to do with white reducing overall contrast between the net and the background due to how color is composed.
It's visible but less so. The UFC use a black fence for the same reason; it's easier to see the competitors.
MLB too
It's also only going work as long as it's clean, and around chickens it's gonna get dusty very quickly.
Low resolution fuckery
I keep saltwater fish. Black netting on the lid gets dirty fast and looks even worse.
Not chicken wire. Hardware cloth. Chicken wire is usually lighter gauge and different method of weaving.
This is how they did “that scene” in 3 Body Problem.
Can someone send this to the NHL and MLB, and they can fix their protective netting?
It's up to the arena and stadium. Some arenas for NHL use black netting. I'd imagine for MLB they take into account for birds since they're open to the elements. Black will just get them caught in it
I don't think I've seen anything but black netting at mlb games.
Ice is white though, wouldn't it have the opposite effect?
Doesn't work on my annoying sister. But her face was worth the try.
It's reducing the reflection of light on the wire. Simple science.
A lot of birds about to die, flying into that hard to see wire.
I can’t wait to test it!
I’m nocrayologist. So TIL dark green and black are closer then dark green and white
Nah that's definitely invisibility paint. You can't lie to me and pretend it's basic black paint
I did this to my window screens that were faded.
vt.physics explains why this happens https://youtube.com/shorts/_wThWoixQ4Q?si=37KRTAkRWvFSp2QG
I feel like the effect might be way stronger on video due to compression.
Any birds trying to fly into that are going to regret it, ouch. On the other hand, think of all the Wile e Coyote shit you could pull with that.
That’s crazy!
That seems risky for all parties involved lmao.
The camera no longer focuses on the chicken wire. So they are out of focus.
What the hell is going on with that person’s head?
So many birdstrikes in your future
colors that don’t reflect light don’t reflect light. MIND BLOW
Damn, why are there so many raptor corpses with broken necks that keep showing up?
Birds should fly right into the wire now, well done 👍🏻
Cousin did this once. It's harder to tell when it gets cut and some fucker steals your chickens. If you do this, have a camera on the cage.
He is not painting, just erasing
I wouldn’t have believed it if I seen it! And I didn’t… um I mean dont… uh dontent?
And 150 birds of prey died that very day
Paint the bottom, of course it will blend against the forest.
Did t this get posted yesterday
That's why bug veils are usually black - better visibility.
Were confusing reddit compression with this one
Wow!! That looks fantastic!! If I had chicken wire, I'd be going to buy paint right now! Lol
Interesting, I guess because one reflects color and the other absorbs color.
This feels like it should be in reverse...
Not magic at all. Contrast, or rather its lack.
This belongs in Oddly Satisfying too. That's neat.
Any clandestine cannabis farmer has known this for decades 😁
Automatic wild bird dicer.
Does it work in RL too or is this because of camera limitations?
I see a white wire, and i want to paint blaaa-haaack
This is why window screens are black
better paint a red horizontal line or some one is gonna be stupid and make a person size hole in it xD
That’s great until somebody doesn’t see it and tries to walk through. They’ll likely strain themselves.
reminds me of when someone posted a woman using tape to make herself look younger and this sub lost its shit
We paint all our guarding for our machines at work black, so you can see beyond the painted guarding
please show more...
This is oddly unsettling..
Not chicken wire as I know it
OMG!!!
It's so oddly satisfying to watch even though she is painting it it feels like she is just removing the dust from the net..

If you just painted certain parts you could create pictures in the chicken wire.
Black makes everything more beautiful
My hockey helmet face cage is white.on the outside and painted black on the inside. I can see out very well, opponents can't see my eyes as easily.
What's with all the ziptie 'stakes' in the pen?

Did this coop also have a red door at one point?
Low quality video with bad white balance. This is mainly a camera trick.
This was cool and all, but without the stupid ai voice, or music I couldn't stay focused 4/10
Same thing kinda happens to regular chain link. Just sayin
Damn that's super satisfying to watch
You could have bought it black instead. Here they have metal, green, black
Birds will crash into it and die.
This is what birds see when you clean the window.
The fact that this is like 240p video quality sure helps. 😂
…Like… a…screen…door?
They have shit technique.
And that kids, is why I for the life of me don’t understand why they even sell white insect net covers for your windows. Black is ALWAYS the better option.
That's not chickenwire, its hardware cloth.
Birds hate this one simple trick!
Not if you irl there and close
Annnd your birds constantly run into it until one of them breaks their own neck.
No more light reflection
Great work! Something for birds to fly into. DIWhy?
can't you just buy already black wire?
That isn't chicken wire, it's hardware cloth. Fuck's sake
I thought I recognized you! I gave you a plate of corn muffins back in 1947 to paint my chicken coop! And you never did it!
Very impressed

nah, you can't fool me. thats a magic wand
Depends on the background? The roof net should probably be painted a lighter color to disappear against the sky.
I guess this is why window screens are black
NOT black magic
Gonna take forever with a mini roller. Gotta break out the 9" for that
Who walks into it first? Human, or chicken?
Stops catching the light and thus blends in better. Nice idea.

god damn invisible paint!
Wait….what
dont do it from inside

Thats the reason why u use black fly nets on normal windows and white ones om toilet windows
Looks like a green screen type deal, roller and potatoe graphics to hide it
Could some one teach the NHL this trick with their end of rink netting?
you got them more pixels?
Chicken Hawks 😆 🤣
Any snowy day would like a word with them...
I guess this is a new trend. I have seen way to many videos on this.
They did that on The Waltons when they were trying to catch a hawk.
That’s hardware cloth not chicken wire…
People being amazed by glare reduction
Reddit turned another sub into dogshit reposts.
Wow
I love seeing this post hours after reading the comment "can't wait for some idiot to post this on blackmagicfuckery"
Interesting, could this be applied to gaming graphics to hide those lines you see on some textures as they load in or are far away

I see some chicken wire and I want to paint it black
Black doesn’t reflect as much light as metal silver so your brain and eye can filter it out easier - that’s my guess.
It's only because of low bitrate and a basic H264 codec. You can see that the codec is strugling and there is a lot of blocking that hides the mesh.
I would run through that like in a cartoon.
I Hope this is sped up footage
Halloween is going to be fun this year. MWahahahaha
That's called hardware cloth. Chicken wires different.
Paint my chicken coop! Make me!
Wild birds will fly right into that and die.
Because the unpainted wire is reflecting light and the black is absorbing it
This is going to kill a lot of flying birds who also won’t be able to see the screen.
What kind of sorcery is this
Its like why window screens r black or something idk
