Also a much higher chance of them trying to fight back and attack the monsters. While most adults would probably be scared if a monster suddenly came through their door, a lot of people would choose the "fight" side of their "fight or flight" instinct and at the very least throw something at the monster, (and keep in mind that the monsters were so afraid of humans that they treated a simple sock as a major biohazard risk), if not actually attack with weapons depending on who the person is/where in the world they live......

Kids can be scared/made laugh a decent chunk of times. Scare an adult the first time and in the second try there will be a bear trap in front of the door and a gun under easy reach. If the gun wasn't there already. So a waste of wood and a employee hazard.

[@tornadodee148]

@@nainteins loll but tbh I imagine a protective parent who is desperate to know the truth sitting in his childs room with a gun because the kid keeps screaming every night and it might actually be because of a creepy intruder that hides in the closet just before bedtime or something. Wouldnt that be also a risk?? Also in Monsters U it is learned that adult screams are too powerful for the scream collecting technology so thats a reason why Monsters prefer kids. Easier to collect, wont bust the tanks😉

[@nainteins]

@@tornadodee148 Oh this reminds me of a theory I had once. The parents are never concerned about the kids screaming because they never heard the kids screaming! Cause, if the monster have enough weird technology to turn terror sounds into energy, why not take the extra step to make it absorb the sound completely? So the parents are only told the child is scared, but say child never says anything at night. Sure, might go to their room crying, but nothing else. Still is not worth to scare an adult as you say, too powerful and too dangerous.

This honestly would not work as the energy cost of playing your music would be drastically higher then the amount gained... It is possible to harvest the energy from sound you or the environment is making... But not create an environment of sound to harvest for energy.

[@xandervampire195]

@Mr7Slug Roxor mentioned those too (I think you're talking about the same thing?) and Menoob listed some issues with the practicality of it. Tbh, I know next to nothing about physics. I just wanted to make an AC/DC joke. I'm not even sure if the joke makes sense from a physics perspective. I know the acronyms AC and DC stand for Alternating Current and Direct Current, referencing different types of electricity or something but I don't know a thing about them or what either of them is actually used for.

[@xandervampire195]

@Mr7Slug That one's easy, a lightbulb. I didn't even know about the argon but I can figure it out from the rest of the description and context clues. I dunno about microphones. I certainly wasn't aware that they could produce electricity. I thought they just amplified sound, I didn't realise that it would make energy when they did so. I probably would've guessed that they did the opposite and used up energy rather than generating it. Maybe if you study or work with physics, it's obvious but I've never done either so I had no clue. My guess is that the people you're talking about are much like me. They've just never been told so they don't know. There's nothing wrong with ignorance if you're willing to learn, wilful ignorance on the other hand... that's not so good. Hopefully, they're the former.

Huge hole in the theory: "Kids these days" doesn't refer to the kids they are currently scaring. It means that generally all the kids they are trying to scare aren't as much scared as the previous kids (from the previous generation) were. They've got millions of doors. How could they run out of new kids to scare. Plus, there is an obvious rotation of kids. When they grow up, the monsters don't go and scare them and they scare new kids each years. The SuperCarlinBrothers made a video ("How the Scare Floor Works") that explain a more plausible explanation for what we see in the movie.

The biggest error in this theory is the "screams have decreased effectiveness". Unless they've only been in business for literally 16-ish years or less, there would of been more and more kids to scare who aren't resistant. It made it seem like they only have same group of kids since it's started.

[@celberesilva9370]

You are right, but 2 things. 1- by what i observed (i can be wrong) they work in a way that people can get scared more tha once, because they only destroy doors when the kid is 100% immune toscares (that actually makes sense now) so a kid can be scared more than once. 2- because laugh is more effective every time someone does, they start to being harder to track since less people se the monsters . OBS:If something was hard to understand, just ask and i will try to answer.

1:36 This is true, but the adult response is rarely to just stand there and scream. Additionally, return visits would be far too risky afterwards, as there's a chance said adult would be waiting with a weapon or even just a camera. Children meanwhile are prone to calling for their parents, and their testimonies are taken far less seriously, meaning a return visit every few weeks/months won't provoke suspicion.

"Kids these days" I felt was more referring to the fact that kids were more exposed to fear and therefore were less likely to be scared of just a monster. It's not that surprising to me, especially since a lot of people I know were exposed to horror movies when they were kids. I think it reaches the same conclusion that their screams were less effective, but I don't think the monsters were the cause, it was just the times changing. I feel if Monsters Inc. was set in the modern day, it would more resemble the time Stan Pines in Gravity Falls tried to scare a duo of kids in the Halloween special.

2 (edit! 4) things: 1 - Killer opening sequence! Hits the vibe right on the head ... 2 - Tapping the fear of Parents is unsustainable. Parents talk to parents and it will get around that the monsters actually exist and never do actual harm. Parents will tell kids that the minsters are real but not to worry. Kids wont be scared and neither will adults and the Monsters will run out of power. Moves like the camp scene from Monsters U (attempting to generate so much scream that the door powers from the human side) are very dangerous because that was providing actual evidence that Monsters exist to people who might actually be believed. Being content with children's screams is sustainable because, as they age out, there are always new kids to tap. ... 3 - I dont think Matt is quite right here. Yes, each child gives less dopamine each time they are scared but there are always new children. As child 1 becomes less sensitive and ages out, they are replaced by child 2, who is fresh and sensitive. The problem is the rate at which new children are born. The birth rate in most developed and urbanised countries (ie countries where children will have their own rooms with closets) has dropped well below the 2.1 child/woman required for zero population growth. This means that there are fewer fresh children to scare, so each must be visited more, so they tire out faster. ... 4 - Laughter is the forever solution. Even if the human population hits a maximum or even goes down, Monsters can tap the adult-laughter market by, quite literally, coming out of the closet. Humans are unlikely to let themselves go extinct and will always want a laugh. Monsters can form a symbiotic relationship with humans by becoming, essentially, a caste of comedians. There could be busker-Monsters with portable capture systems. The funniest monsters will be sent to huge venues for enormous gains. Humans will benefit from potentially free concerts. Aside from the cost of maintianing the venues, their laughter is literally all the payment required. This does raise the possibility of war between the races, as humans dont have the best record of being nice to new cultures. But hopefully the monsters will be so freaking funny that we wouldn't want to hurt them. Also, they have teeth and could be genuinely terrifying.
