Also, it is resentment against a specific behavior, we happen to call it German.

Oh my. I’m not sure what to make of this line. “As we happen to call it in German”, or are you calling your resentments a German thing? And what, specifically? And then, what “totality” are you referring to in the next line? Is that German people, at large?

First, you show your prejudices when pushing the antisemitic button, and fail to express anything specific, and then you can’t even express yourself properly? And not even get the facts straight? See, Zak McKracken said close friends of his had bad experiences in Germany as foreigners. Not that his friends showed any resentments. There were prejudices and stereotypes used against them.
But then, pray, what brings you from a zero-G Carassius auratus to your hateful comments in the first place?

It is anti-German resentment, but there are also complex and real experiences fueling it.

Care to share? Otherwise, you just pull another Goodwin. Not even a good one.

And, of course, you are completely right about about the readjustment of perspective.

A goldfish might think it is cruel to put a human on a swing. And yet… 

How then did you become and have stayed friends with your “close friends” that show the same resentment? Also, it is resentment against a specific behavior, we happen to call it German. It has nothing to do with the totality of people with a specific passport. I do have resentment against nationality as such, but that includes all nation states and is a different discussion.
And yes, disinterested sadism would be my term for practices that are detached from the notion of suffering and human interaction.

…oh wait, they have… turns out most of them enjoyed it…

Dude, get it! Most fish that are being kept by humans are not so lucky to get to fly in an aircraft, they are just killed and eaten. Or overfed by children who care too much. Or starved by lazy children. Or flushed down the toilet by children who take “Finding Nemo” too serious.

I’m all for not dissecting sedated  cats and then using their still-beating heart to replace their blood by formalin in anatomy class. I’m all for not testing anything on animals that can be tested otherwise, and all against killing animals for cosmetics or whatnot. _That_ is in fact disgusting.
… but this is trivial. The fish gets a rollercoaster ride and that’s it. This is more in the “letting the neighbour’s kid play with your cat” territory. If you can’t see the difference, you might want to readjust your perspective.

Several close friends of mine have had bad experiences in Germany as foreigners. The amount of resentment you are displaying is pretty much what those people (and me…) hate in Germans. “Ahh, you’re from Transsylvania! Haha, Vampires, haha!”
Also, the premise of what you’re saying there is that the sole purpose of this experiment was to somehow torture the fish? WTF?
You offend me on both accounts: Your prejudices against science and people based on their nationality. If I’d known you in Germany and you started with such nonsense, I wouldn’t have wanted to have anything to do with you either.

People who have the time, skill, and resources to go into space don’t experiment like this to get a kick out of cruelty. They do it to try and learn things about the universe. A nobler goal than eatting merely to survive, no?

Everything suffers. Everything dies. Most of the time, such suffering serves absolutely no purpose. So if you want to be self-righteously furious at something, direct your rage at fate, or chance, or whatever whims of the universe dictate that living things should die needlessly all the time, by no fault of their own or of others. At least then your anger would have no senseless negative effect on the world.

N24 was originally a 24 hour news station, then they started airing old documentaries, then they started to produce some.
If you try to send information 24 hours a day, the density of useful stuff gets somewhat reduced :(

My take on the experiment: It shows how the fish is in fact able to evade the air bubble despite having no gravity. It also shows that the fish will not preserve its orientation (as opposed to other species who will try to keep their orientation relative to the environment constant, like humans).
I trust that whoever designed that experiment knew what they were doing, because there is usually some competition in order to get a slot on these flights. After having seen two documentaries of much about the place I used to work for, I do no longer, however, trust journalists to understand and properly communicate what the research is actually about. If all goes well it’s superficially accurate. This one is superficial to begin with.
