Probably intentional, and at any rate very funny, My split second "Aww, but Hank's so nice!" reaction made me pause to check the comments. Okay, back to science!
My great grandfather survived WWI. He came home and died of Spanish flu before my grandfather was born. I went to his very rural grave a couple years ago. It was a small cemetery. I was related to most of people there. Most died around 1918😢
My family attended a Catholic Church in Minnesota that was built around the 1870s, which meant that the church cemetery had very old graves. I remember walking through the cemetery as a kid in the 70s and noticing many grave stones of young people that had died around the early 20th century. Only later did I realize that many were those that had died from the Spanish flue. Very disconcerting for the young boy that I was at the time.
At 41:53 the Overdose of Fentanyl is said to be about 2 mg, or 1/10 of a penny. A penny is 2.5 grams which makes the OD limit to be 0.0008 of a penny. I'm guessing Reid probably meant to say 0.1 of a percent, since 1/10 of a penny (250 mg) is probably enough to kill the reincarnated soul of the poor individual. Anyway figured a quick edit or asterisk might be in order. Cheers!
If I remember we'll what I learned in geography class, a crucial factor of smog is inversion: A layer of cold air sitting on top of warmer, polluted air like a cover, trapping the pollution.
I just watched part of a video where "killer bees" had taken up residence under someone's shed. The guy said there were over 5,000 bees in this hive, and they had to rip out part of the floor of the shed. I couldn't watch the rest of it as it was freaking me out seeing how many bees there were and aggressive they are! The workers could feel the pounding of bees on them through their specialized bee suits, saying they'd have been stung to death 10 times over without their suits on, and bees even attacked the camera lens dozens of times!
The video didn't mention that fentanyl is fully synthetic so the production is not limited by naturally occurring ingredients. This makes it easier to produce a lot of it anywhere in the world not just where opium can be found.
"Here's a compilation of some of the deadliest stuff on Earth to try to avoid. First up is Hank." He's awesome, yes - but deadly? This is news to me. And I have no intent to try to avoid him. Because he's still awesome, even if deadly.
“Bees are essentially livestock, like cows and chickens”. I immediately flashed to the South Park episode where the Japanese kept slaughtering all the whales and dolphins, until they were convinced by Stan that it was Cows and Chickens that actually bombed Hiroshima. 🙄😂 “Cow and-a Chicken?!? This is outrage!!” 😂😂
Why did fentanyl replace heroine as the primary opiate sold in illicit markets in the first place? It was more potent, so it took less to deliver an active dose, and it was cheaper for criminal organizations to import or produce due to it's potency by weight. If you want to end the fentanyl mortality epidemic the answer sad to say is legalizing, lowering prices on and making more available classic heroin, so that the supply can be regulated for purity against contaminants, and addicts can use something less toxic to get their fix. It would also have the added benefit of separating the market from organized crime. This is a prime example of when prohibition makes things worse.
It's funny, I was a bike messenger in NYC during the 1980s and also rode my bike as my transportation in Manhattan through the early 1990s. I used to cough up so much gray & black phlegm my friends even made fun of me for it! I would get home at night & see the particles of car exhaust in my facial hair too! Ever since I've moved out of NYC all that coughing I had completely stopped and no more black or gray phlegm either.
A local bee keeper business is a few kilometers away from my apartment. This past summer is the first time I've seen commercial honey bees. They are so docile and adorable. You'd have to mess directly with them for them to care about you...i just sat on the grass and watched them buzz around me from flower to flower. Still, my favourite bee is the bumble bee because they're so chubby and fuzzy haha! Seeing them land on a flower and it bends under their weight. 😂
Back in the late 1960s, in the UK, in science class at school, we were given lumps of raw mineral asbestos to pass around and examine under microscopes.
The smog story is a good reminder that we tend to prioritise the economy and convenience, until we decide that our health is more important and demand improvements.
Staying warm and fed (because you've got the spending money) is a bigger health issue than smog. Battling smog is important but realize other things were a priority first.
@@b_uppy They're not mutually exclusive though, it was entirely possible to consider how to solve both problems in the 19th and 20th centuries but we waited unti the smog caused enough deaths in the 50s before deciding to tackle it, 700 years after it first appeared.
@chillsahoy2640 How might they have addressed this in the 1800s, let alone earlier? Coal use is a very recent advent to England. Believe peat was the primary source previously...
@@b_uppy Coal was used in London since the 1200s according to this video. People could have solved these challenges in the 1800s if there had been an incentive, but at that time the incentive was to increase productivity and expand the empire.

The other tragedy is the out right prejudice that a large percentage of the recovery/rehab industry has against medically assisted treatment (typically methodone or suboxone). The reason for this is the laws for these life changing treatment centers pretty much dictate that you can ONLY be an MMT clinic or a more traditional in patient clinic. The fact that this has not changed in any way over the last 25 years cemented that the government could not careless about any drug "epidemic"
Opioid "epidemic" has caused doctors to swing their prescriptions so drastically that my wife broke her arm and got TYLENOL. The craziest part about this isn't the knee jerk reaction of prescribers(who 99% of the time are only trying to not hurt or cause an addiction/overdose to someone), it's the fact that they are so poorly informed (again not prescribes fault) that they are unaware that some 90% of overdoses are from illegally manufactured and acquired fentanyl.
Fun complemation! However, i thought you could overdose from skin contact with fentanyl. I worked as a police officer back when the scare was happening and we sat through a training where that was made clear. Maybe this was just bad info because of the initial scare?
Well, that’s been a cheery start to the new year, and while we should/can be eternally grateful to science for the identification, avoidance, treatment, eradication of these various nasties let us not forget that none of this has been achieved by people praying to an imaginary friend in the sky.
me before clicking the video and watching the video on alchemy: *so we can count Fentanyl as a poison since large dosages are fatal hmm..* *[Music] plague poisonous trees fentanyl dangers* 👀👀
Plague is in the wild life where we live. It was normal and not that scary tbh. Dont play in the street you might be hit by a car. Don't leave a fire unattended, it might spread. Don't handle the wild ground squirrels and other small animals, they might have plague or hantavirus. Not that big a deal.
“Here is a compilation of the deadliest stuff on the earth to try and avoid, first up is Hank”
What did Hank do to you 😂
Haha 😂 i wonder if that was intentional or just a gift of serendipity for us all
He beat cancer. And got curly hair!
Beat me to it!
Yes, Hank has a dark side. I've seen it peeking out from behind that award-winning smile.
😂
In the intro when she was like "first up is Hank" for a split second my mind jumped to the assumption she was saying Hank was super dangerous 😂
He is, the only thing more dangerous than knowledge is ignorance. Hank is a repository of the second most dangerous thing on earth.
I was thinking the same thing!
Probably intentional, and at any rate very funny, My split second "Aww, but Hank's so nice!" reaction made me pause to check the comments.
Okay, back to science!
💀💀💀
us too😅
Here’s a compilation of some of the deadliest stuff on Earth… first up is Hank…

At one point 100% of content I had intaken for 2025 was scishow
Wow you’re hard core? What did you watch in the 3rd minute?
SciShow😎
0:15 #1 deadly thing: Hank Green

1 hour of SciShow?! Yes please!
Perfect for a long drive 🥰
As a teenager I spent New years getting wasted. Now, at 42, Im in bed watching educational stuff.
Growth!
😂 38 doing the same
Same! Gen X in the house. You millennials got cheated. Lol
43, and same... _while_ getting utterly blazed.
@wmdkitty i was just gonna say a hoot and a drink and I'm now of to bed. I'm 46
It was good to see Olivia & Michael again.

Happy New Years!
way to start the new year
Beautiful video. 👏 Happy New Year! 🎅🎉🎄🎁🎇🎆
Just come across this chilling with a new year hangover..subbed
ive never been this early to a scishow video
You wouldn’t get some of the greatest hiphop albums of all time if not for them naming “killer bees”
Salt Lake City, to London: “hold my beer.”
.

If you don’t know, SLC has some of the worst smog imaginable. We call it the death shroud.
Happy to be here. Happy new year all, especially to you Sci Show! Thank you for keeping me educated and entertained all kf 2024!

"and feeble humans like you and I are just trying to survive" We haven't had a series of SciShow Grammar yet, have we...?
Happy New Year's!
Man, it's great hearing Hank's primordial "RUclips voice". It feels like he wants to sell me something on TV.
"Hopefully we'll never have another pandemic!" "Yikes, that aged like milk" lmaoo yeah, well, you didn't know at the time :D
Starting off 2025 pre-emptively stressing about these 5 things I have absolutely no control over, just to get in some practice
“Bees are essentially livestock, like cows and chickens”.

I mean you can absolutely buy borax at the grocery store. You just buy it in the laundry aisle.
Happy new year

Wow, that was so much info on bats. I had to take a break. It gave me inflammation of thinking.
I really like Hanks white and gold shirt
Top comment!
It's blue and black
"First up is Hank!" Hank, no! 😱😭
first up is Hank as one of the most effective perfusers of knowledge
Bringing in the new year right 🎉🎉🎉

Bumblebees will straight up let you pet them with a fingertip when they're busy gathering pollen, and I love that for us.😊
@EmpressLizard81 haha, yup, they're goofy little creatures 🤣
And here we are... I'm 52 and have Myasthenia Gravis...so I'm currently winning. Happy New Year everyone 🎊🥰🤗

Have y'all considere using the youtube chapters function? Would be nice to be able to mouse aroudn and see the different sections of the video.
Happy New Year! It was slightly late, but work is rough. I hope everyone has a good start to an amazing year.

As was peat, and peat was less smoky. Still how would they have reduced smoke pre 1800s, or even pre 1900s???
Happy New Year everyone 🌸💅🐀
Thank you for saying zoonotic correctly ❤
Posting this literally seconds before 2025 is crazy.
It was still 10pm in Montana. ;)
Already more than 12 hours into 2025 in Australia 🤷
Gotta hit that quota!

hey hey, its Hank with straight hair!
Hank is in the room with me right now, isnt he? Tell my family I lov

25 km radius is insane
What about honey bees in the north, like Pennsylvania, for example? I've never had a problem with them. They're so peaceful.
Excellent! But, where was the mosquito?
The soundtrack "Bat and Pig" from the movie Contagion is appropriate for this episode of SciShow.
All of these are going on my 2025 bingo card

Bats rock in many ways. None of us is perfect.🦇🐝🦇
Always lots of hand- waving.

Whoa this video was made a long time ago! Look at Hanks hair!
And Olivia left the show several years ago.
I knew hank was dangerous! 😂
I would like to see chapter markers.
Twink hank from yesteryear is refreshing, the pre-exisitianalism is nice, but i need my morality questioning, internally panicing modern hank haha
First up, Hank. He's is dangerous.
Well, that’s been a cheery start to the new year, and while we should/can be eternally grateful to science for the identification, avoidance, treatment, eradication of these various nasties let us not forget that none of this has been achieved by people praying to an imaginary friend in the sky.
legitimate question: does Hank prefer his now curly hair or does he miss it when it was straight?
Some of these things were dangerously unlethal...
me before clicking the video and watching the video on alchemy: *so we can count Fentanyl as a poison since large dosages are fatal hmm..*
*[Music] plague poisonous trees fentanyl dangers* 👀👀
Small doses of fentanyl are dangerous, and now they've got a drug that's more dangerous, (Nizatine?)..
So does this mean that i had better chances with covid because i had spanish flu as a child?!
why do people even spike stuff with fent? like what do they gain from that
woah. is this a long time ago hank? or ai hank?
Ancient baby Hank, I think roughly 2016-edition. He's an institution, so lots of the compilations feature him 😅
Mmmmmm bee juice on the thumbnail, of course
Plague is in the wild life where we live. It was normal and not that scary tbh. Dont play in the street you might be hit by a car. Don't leave a fire unattended, it might spread. Don't handle the wild ground squirrels and other small animals, they might have plague or hantavirus.

I’ve seen squirrels with white nose. Is it the same found in bats?
I believe it's so if you're talking fungal disease.
Datura or nightshade should not be messed with
The fentanyl guy soumds like niel de grass tyson
Agreed
Ahh straight-haired Hank. How time has passed….
HELLO 2025!
Bees are "domesticated," which is different from "domestic."
Is this that Fool’s Day again?
My first house had bats
So fentanyl can reach the g spot because it's longer than morphine? Got it.
First video of 2025!
I thought methane was also involved in the exploding lakes
Edit: ah there it is. Kivu
I thought Hank was deadly
Wow this was a year ago
You can tell when Hank filmed before cancer. Look at those straight locks.
yeah no kidding. at this point he looks weird without the locks
lochs?
First viruses, then humans
you could google food ingredients that are allowed in America but banned in the UK - not good America
the deadliest thing on Earth is oxygen.
Olivia! I've missed seeing her, I wondered what happened to her. Anyone??
Earliest I’ve ever been 😭
"Shallower" is not a word.
Yes, it is.
