    During the Russian Experiment known as the Kola Superdeep Borehole, the project was shut down due to the heat being underestimated after drilling 12 kilometers into Earth. But we all know the real reason. No, the real reason is because the Russians stumbled across a species ending fungus that would threaten to destroy all of humanity if not contained properly. In todays episode, we will discuss what this fungus is, how it takes over the body and ultimately what are the results!

    Hey Roanoke! I worked with bronze for a time, doing both crucible work as well as being the person who unloaded the burnout kiln. When unloading the kiln (1500+ degrees Fahrenheit) I had to wear what I call the space beekeeper suit. Every inch of skin was covered, and the material itself was a metallic silver on the outside and wool on the inside. Certain kinds of wool are actually fire resistant! Alright, I’ll get to the point: the worst burns I got weren’t from the kiln or the crucible, but from accidentally touching a bronze piece after belt sanding it. Contact burns like that don’t hurt so much at first, so a lot of people think they’re fine. They’re not. It’s important to run the burnt area under cold water IMMEDIATELY to stop the heat from getting ‘trapped’, I guess. I don’t know exactly how it works, but while the top layer of skin feels fine, the heat just kind of compounds in the layer below. It’s likely that the protagonist dousing herself with cold water could stop her from becoming one big blister, but I’m not sure how she would survive the shock from going to extreme heat to a colder environment. When leaving the kiln we have to make sure to not just strip everything off right away to avoid shock. In addition, extreme ambient heat can give you a weird kind of high, making you less worried about literally boiling. Sorry this is so long, but I hope I can give a bit of insight into how humans react to extreme heat.

      It works the same way that resting grilled meat after cooking works. Your exterior layer of skin is really moist. The hissing sound you hear when you burn yourself is the moisture in your epidermis evaporating really fast!
      But the muscles and dermis beneath your outer layer of skin doesn’t have this added layer of fat and moisture. Even after you take the piece of meat off the grill, it’s still cooking inside. Let your burgers rest 5-10 minutes after grilling to lock in the flavor ;)

    You know, to me this seems more horrifying than any of the other zombie infections. In a lot of them you're just "gone". Your body is operating entirely on autopilot and you no longer have awareness of anything.
    But here? You're fully aware of what's going on, what your body is doing, and that you aren't the one at the helm. It's also horrifying with the body horror stuff, as you'd be experiencing and feeling all of that, rather than your consciousness being completely gone or your body controlled by something else.

    The scariest part about cordiceps has to be that it does not take over the nervous system. It basically builds a second one by itself and takes over. Which also has one really weird implication. The fungus has to make decisions itself as it cannot depend on the ant to do so.

    • @domvasta
      @domvasta 2 года назад +194

      It isn't like it's a bunch of neurons, it's much simpler, the fungi that made the ant go higher and made it bite down once it got high up spread much better, all the fungus originally would have done is infect the ant and kill it, grow from it's corpse and sprout, then it would be found by other ants and moved into either a garbage pile or buried in the dirt they dug their tunnels with, probably not infecting many other ants since it won't get much airflow. Any mutation that made the ant climb would help, but the ant would probably keep climbing and fall off it would still be better than not interfering, so the next iteration would be using the ant's visual input to figure out where the highest point is, then biting down and locking the mandibles, so it can't fall.

    • @domvasta

    • @domvasta
      @domvasta 2 года назад +121

      In fact it's only the O. unilateralis core clade that cause the ants to bite down, there are several subspecies like O. unilateralis kniphofioides which don't seem to affect behaviour in such a seeming beneficial way, ants infected by it just walk to the mossy base of a tree and die. Neither of these fungi make decisions or do anything to the ant's brain directly, they exhibit what's called secondary metabolism, which a lot of fungi do, basically it's metabolic pathways for producing enzymes and hormones that don't affect the fungus, but the ant, the enzymes that allow the spores to get into the ant's exoskeleton are part of it, the neurotransmitters that make the ant want to climb, and the neurotransmitters that make it bite down when it is dying. That's all it needs, because unlike human brains, ant's neural ganglia are pretty simple, you give it one chemical and it goes and gets food, another it eats food, another it digs a hole, another it climbs a tree, a mix of a few, it digs a hole in the tree to look for food.

      @@domvasta Fascinating really. And I wonder if the same concept could apply to humans, but since our neuronstransmitters are more complicated, could a fungus exist that just ups what it does to the ant? A fungus that can create cocktails of chemicals instead of just the couple it needs to coax an ant? A fungus that could coax us in simple ways, effectively making us zombie like, with only a few commands being issued to our bodies. Or perhaps unlike a zombie, and just push us in subtle ways to be more social or whatever the fungi needs to propagate, at least at first. Or! lol, like in the movie where our muscles are being pushed to do certain things, but I dont think that would go very far as it would call too much attention and be stopped by outside forces too easily. Still freaky though.

    @JustAnotherLawyer 2 года назад +3797

    The vodka/ice water combination actually makes a great deal of sense. Alcohol causes your veins to dilate, leading to increased blood flow to the body’s surface and extremities. In a cold environment, that will help lower your core body temperature. If the fungus can just barely survive at a regular human body temperature, lowering it just might prevent it from taking root. Hopefully without killing yourself through hypothermia.
    (this is also why you should never try to counteract hypothermia by drinking alcohol, despite a depressing number of people and pop culture pieces seeming to think it helps; drunking alcohol does make you feel warmer, sure, but you are directly counteracting your body’s efforts to conserve heat near your vital organs, making the problem worse)

      @@thetacticalpuertorican Smart. People focus too much on carbs and protein when they go out into the woods. They aren't entirely wrong, having a light source of dense protein and carbs in your pack is necessary, but so to is sugar. Thats why trail mix usually has M&Ms or something mixed in with it. Not the best choice personally, but it works. Personally I go with freeze dried fruit or dehydrated berries. Your Tic-tacs work too. Specially the orange ones, but I can't remember why off the top of my head. They're light and you get a lot more than just the sugar you need.
      But specifically tying into why sugary things can save your life in the cold is because it forces your body to produce insulin and that raises your core temp for anyone wondering why. Be safe out there, and have fun 😁

      The fungus mold was at the very last level. They have built levels, did their subterranean research and everything was fine. And at the lower levels they had to wear protective suits with oxygen tanks anyway - because of 200 °C. They couldn't get sick because they had suits on them.
      It was OK for a while, probably for a few days, so they even built something at the lowest level.
      But someone must have bring the mold on the exterior of their suit to the living area on the lower levels at one point.

    as much as the concept is a fairly common one in horror media I still really enjoyed this movie and its special effects. When using earthly biological ideas in horror you get a lot of similar themes in games and movies etc. I don't mind though i feel like there are lots of different ways to use it and i like to see different takes on it. It's just another genre of entertainment, like zombie genre or ghosts. The part that I really like is that it's just doing what it does to survive and isn't intentionally hurting people. THAT is the true horror. No malicious demon or mutated rabies could ever be so terrifying as nature itself. You can't reason with it, or bribe it or do some magical spell to stop it, you can't even put a bullet in it's head to kill it. I love it. Absolutely horrifying.

      Technically yes. So we know this mould's living range only just covers 37.4 degrees C (which funnily enough means birds are ideal/superior hosts for it as they average 41 degrees C). The lowest recorded human body temperatures which people survived are 11.8 degrees from a toddler and 9 degrees from 51 yr old undergoing controlled treatment. So with that in mind and 37 degrees being on the lower end of the moulds range in a controlled setting with equipement and experts a person could be lowered to a temp the mould dies while the human can be revived.
      However. Given that the mould crystalises upon 'freezing' any person infected could survive the infection only to die to crystal fragments being in their body.

Honestly, I've always loved making up fictional organisms and have tried my best for physically (at least, proportionally) accurate designs, but with Roanoke's help, I can now make them more biologically accurate as well, so thanks. Although, it's fair if you DON'T want me to thank you as I've taken more to the horror genre in the past 6-7 years ^^'. Hehehe... Assuming I ever get so far with a single idea, I hope one day you find one of my "children" and grow to love/hate (or both, both is also valid) it as much as movie monsters like this one ^^
    Ngl I don't watch movies anymore and haven't in multiple years since my old glitchy laptop with a dvd player died so these are always fun, and no need to worry about spoilers for smth I'll probably never get to watch anyway. This movie seems like a fun one to watch if it's not taken too seriously but not so much if you expect normal, practical human responses to an unknown and highly dangerous threat lol. Idk about everyone else in this universe, but I'd of asked more questions and been a bit more hesitant to.... Well, participate in any of that honestly. Oh? No one has returned in how long exactly from an underground facility housing an unknown organism that's known to be infectious? Really sorry for them but I choose life. Thanks
    ... Also I want an old god 🥺. Maybe summon a tad bit less mold though if we get to make requests lmao

    How does the multiple screaming head monster even work, do they each have their own respiratory system? Or is it like a bagpipe kinda thing?

    I'm not the type to comment on videos, I usually like and lurk. This is video is a great example of the type of content I enjoy and they're the reason why I use RUclips. The fact that creators struggle with censorship, exposure, and being fairly compensated for ad revenue makes me frustrated with the platform. I hate that I have to leave a comment just for the sake of manipulating an algorithm that doesn't even benefit the audience I'm a part of. That being said, here we are. Keep up the good work and fight the good fight.
