Official support comment from retired wastewater treatment plant professional! Poo may sound like crap to you, but it was my bread and butter.
Thank you so much, I’ll show myself out now. Don’t forget to tip your servers generously.
Without it we wouldn't be here, for sure.
Thanks for the work 🙏
The wastewater treatment plant for our region is right in my suburb! I love it and visit it every time it opens for visitors to see how it all works!
The produced methane is trapped to generate electricity for the plant and after many, many stages the end runoff gets fed to a wasabi field before being released into the ocean. That shit's so cool! :P
I was a nurse and always told my kids that poop was their bread and butter. Went over like a lead balloon.
😶
But... Why? Wouldn't REAL bread & butter taste better tho? 🤢🤮😫
I'm not proud of it, but I have to say I find myself clicking on your poop-related videos faster than any of your other videos.
Name checks out
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm proud of it I always click on videos about poop
Daughter: what did you do today?
Me: listened to a video about poop.
Granddaughter: Man, you learn something new everyday!
Lol
I learned about guano from "The Pet Detective."
It's not always fun to poop.
0:06 missed the chance to say 'what your poop can doo-doo for you'
It stinks that they missed this oppoortunity
@@iwanabana they just farted it away
What a "waste" of an opportunity
They forgot to put it later ine.
😝🤣😂
Omg. Ya had me unsurprised right up until Michael did the...poop push? Yep, THAT interpretation of the beetle initiating the frog to push him out did it. That gives me the chills just remembering it. Thanks for that. I'm grateful that I'm neither the frog nor the beetle in that story.
Michael miming the sphincter nudge. Classic. 😆👏👏👏👏👏
This was a...questionable choice of video to watch with my dinner... :D
Yup, I almost clicked on this video three times while having food since three days, so today I woke up and started off my day with this video ^^
Why
I imagine there must have been one person who ate cold camel dung, complained it didnt work, was told it needed to be fresh, and learned more in that moment about life and themselves than they were prepared for.
it’s not unlikely that to figure it out in the first place someone had to eat cold camel poop then get dysentery and die anyway while all their friends took notes
I love how you guys brought the term 'crop dusting' all the way around so that it means laying down fertilizer again.
Enjoyed this video, even if it's full of crap.
The B. Subtilis found in Camel poop is available today as a food, in the form of Natto. Also rich in Vitamin K2. Excellent addition to one's diet! 🌱
Can’t imagine what was going on in the mind of the first person who discovered the camel poop cure
Old people have their way
"I used the poop to destroy the poop."
You can think weird things when you have the runs, maybe someone saw a camel log, thought it looked well formed and hoped eating it would produce a copy camel poop.
Probably accidental. They worked around removing camel poop and realised they aren't getting dysentery. So logically, others wanted the poop.
I was thinking kids put all sorts of stuff in their mouths...
Can I just say that hearing someone pronounce "Chile" correctly is quite refreshing?
Imagine the pitcher plant/shrew dynamic once they invent Craigslist.
I'm watching this while pooping.
Hehe, if you're still pooping (19 minutes since comment), you know what to do with that fresh fresh poooop
If you don't poop you will die... poop is saving lives every day.
Phoebe helping Chandler prepare for a job interview (Friends TV show), "Um-hmm, that’s good to know. But let’s stop focusing on what you don’t do, and start focusing on what you do do."
Hehe. Do do.
Thank you
Poop is exellent in organic/eco/permaculture gardening. It's the circle of life, you eat the homegrown plants and give back to the healthy soil.
Thank you
We need a t-shirt that says "SciShow: I draw the line at sphincters"
I draw the asterisk, we used to call it the "puckered a$$hole" symbol.
I draw a line... On the outside. Not the inside. From inside, that line is invisible.
This was both highly educational AND highly entertaining. Well done!
1:15
Just put me down doc, I've lived a good life.
The idea of sperm whales being gigantic nutrient transfer systems just tickles me pink for some reason.
THAT`S racist!
"If it wasn't fresh and warm... it wouldn't work!" Yep... major mistake watching this video during lunch time!
I mean.. why would you click on a video while having lunch that has "poop" in its title lol 😂
@@pr.yanshilol... I made no claims about being a smart man.
I was gonna be so upset if there wasn't a SciShow Pee subscribe pitch in this video.
I didn't know about it, and it was the best 3min I spent on YT today (and obviously the best subscribe)
💩: “Don’t mind me. Just a handsome lifesaving poop emoji leaving a message.”
When do we start w/ "crop duster-like" sea planes for Fe+2 on the seas, & biodegradable balloons with H2SO4 for upper atmosphere?
What?
Someone would have to make a real case for return on investment and it would have to have immediate impact for short-sighted decision makers to consider it. The world's finally on fire the way the scientists said it would be and we're only crossing the bridges we've already started burning.
I get paid $35/hr to poop at work, and nothing an hour at home.
Always poop at work!
You are also saving money by using less resources (toilet paper, water, electricity) at home.
You poop for an hour? Damn
That's like 4 times the usual, 4 times the poop
@@prla5400, on average, I'd say.
@@prla5400, I have a secret, it keeps me healthy and regular.
Oats.
Pitch meeting: "y'know what subject we really haven't done enough about? Poop."
I'm just counting the days before the big poop compilation episode.
This is the poop compilation episode lol
@@arloarcher7884 No, they must be holding back. Maybe a Thanksgiving special is in the works.
They could probably make a whole other SciShow channel but that would reduce the content on this channel by about 1/3.
That will be a sizable com-pile of sh*t!
Everyone, all together:
"All you need is poop,
Ya-da-da-da-daa,
All you need is poop, poop,...
Poop is all you need". Apologies to John Lennon...
How did the camel poop thing get discovered?
“I’m pooping a lot. Maybe I need to replace my poop amount. There’s no way to shove it in my butt so I guess I’m trying this the hard way. “
days later.
“Hey guys I’m not pooping to death. Seriously. You won’t believe what I did. Yeah I was desperate but it worked.”
Maybe he couldn't get his hands on animal wormer so he poop a chance.
The phrase “booby poop” rolls trippingly off the tongue!
fun fact about bees, that I've learned from that (texas?) bee keeper: studies on bees have shown they can (be taught to? sorry it's been a little while) recognise faces for up to 2 days!! Intelligent creatures, indeed :)
Fun fact? What kinda grammar/punctuation 🤔
@@teatimekev8631 someone just learnt about parenthesis, apparently
Compilation, guys. Put 'Compilation' in the title, please. You'll still get more than enough of those sweet, sweet clicks.
Kinda agree, I enjoy compilations
I agree. I’ve been with Scishow all the way since it started. But a ‘compilation’ title would make me watch this 10x more.
For those who hate rewatching content.. theyre gonna kill their watch time on this one. Good channel, Nothing against them.
@@decree4644 I disagree. I love rewatching. Just would like if they branded it in the same respect.
Alternatively, one can look at the length of the video. Compilations are usually 20-30 minutes, while the regular videos are much shorter.
SciShow Pee deserves a golden play button...
Omg, so bad it's good. 😆
Thank God this popped up in mt feed - my good mood was worn thin
I think you made a typo there
@@ligh7foo7 which typo, mt instead of my, or popped in place of pooped? 😆
@@sandybarnes887 popped in place of pooped 😃
@@ligh7foo7 then it's two! 😆
@@ligh7foo7 sorry, eh. I couldn't resist 😆
Pop star : sings and dances
Pope : prays and performs miracles
Poop: saves lives
🤣🤣🤣
Imagine evolving into a toilet 😂
in evolution's perspective, the important thing is you don't die
Quagmire: Don't mind if I do.
I don't have to imagine 😔
@@benton. you don't believe in evolution? Were the billions of years of history of the natural world left there by god to test your faith?
@@benton. all life on earth is related .. if you go back enough, every living thing has a common ancestor. It's not a religion. The belief that natural selection/survival of the fittest creates better evolved populations is not incompatible with the belief that there is a dude in the sky controlling life.
0:35 Hank has definitely played that game before too, based on that tone of the second part hahah
14:27 I never knew I needed a SciShow out of context video but now I desperately want it
🤣 Doing colonoscopy prep today, so this is far too appropriate! 🤣
Bacillus subtilus is such an amazingly human name.
The planet and crops need bees, not just honey bees. Around the world, native bees (often solitary, non-hive dwellers) carry out much of the pollination
Yep it's super important. Everyone should plant pollinator friendly plants or bushes if they have the land and money. I did my part. My yard is full of the stuff.
Speaking of dysentery.... Graham Chapman of Monty Python was actually a trained medical doctor (he got his degree, but went on to write comedy instead of finishing his post-doctoral training). He was both the main star of "Life of Brian" and the staff physician. When he was off-camera, one of the main things he treated people for was dysentery (and scorpion stings, being in Tunisia). Pretty cool, huh?
I strongly believe that this is why I've still never had dysentery.
I am not sure about saving lives, but I know for sure that my poop will end lives! 🤣🤣🤣
This on the same day Simon Whistler releases a Biographics episode on Cholera….
At a similar time to 😂
I’m just wondering who the first person was that saw a big steaming pile of camel poop and thought to themselves, “Hey maybe I should eat that and it will cure me of my explosive diarrhea!“ LOL
Africa: fighting runny poops with camel poops for over 100 years.
They probably found food that wasn't completely digested and ate that that's all they probably discovered the Cure
If we don’t have camels around, can we eat eat some horse poop instead? The first human to eat camel poop must have been hella hungry! Very interesting topic. Thanks Hank!
Just because shrews are small and furry with longish tails (depending on the species) and long, pointy whiskery noses does not make them rodents. They're not, not even remotely, other than they are both placental mammals. They're actually more closely related to primates like us, especiallytree shrews. They may be the closest living group to the primates in fact.
"I just want a siver button for our pee channel" said no one before now. 🤣
Day 41 of asking for the return of Scishow Quizshow
I am gonna support your mission
Oh my God I completely forgot about that show... it was such a blast to watch, we need that back
It would be great to have that back.
They got rid of Scishow Quiz show and Scishow Talk show as a business decision. If you compare the view counts on Quiz show and Talk show episodes to normal Scishow videos, you’ll find that the quiz shows and talk shows generally have MUCH lower views
It’s a pity cause I loved those quiz shows, but apparently they’re just less attractive to general audiences. Maybe their long length deters people from clicking on them
@@helenaren That's disappointing. I wonder if they could try again with a different format.
9:22 I was expecting a Klaxon to go off, watching too much Qi lmao
Who was the first person to look at camel poop and think, "I don't feel well. I might as well eat that warm camel poop," and WHY?
For science!
and who was the one who thought "damn, how is that guy not dead from eating camel poop. I better try some too!"
@@fuehnix And why didn't he think, "damn, that guys is crazy! I'd rather die than eat camel poop!"????
I am once again asking you, SciShow, to please mark compilation videos in the title so that us long-time viewers aren't disappointed by a "new" video that isn't
The frog in the thumbnail looks like the worst possible Pokemon.
I'm a gardener & for decades I've been saying "Poop makes the world go round!!" 😜
are you telling me I might have given my little brother a leg up when I convinced him eating dirt would make him stronger as a kid?
A joke about organs arguing which is the most important one comes to mind...
I wonder, how the first human found out, that eating camel poop - not dry, but fresh and warm - was a life saver. And also: how many times some tried it with dried cold poop and died...
Successive series of people handled the camel's poop while fertilizing their plants, or doing other tasks, AND forgot to wash or clean their hands. Someone realized that people survived from handling the camel's poop, especially when the poop is fresh! And Voila!
Murder Hornets look like the insect invaders in a classic episode of The Twilight Zone.
It was a good idea to eat chili while watching this
I watch RUclips videos when I eat. It's fine
Beyond fascinating! Thank you so much!
Thanks Hank and team. One observation though. "Big eyed rodent"?
the pandas rolling on poop remind me of cats rolling on catnip 😂😂
I love this channel
I really like these remixes, keep em comin! 💯
I am now thoroughly invested in the Silver Pee Play Button
First off...who was the first guy thought. I think I'll just eat some camel poo, I mean sure why not. Secondly I am thrown back to memory as a kid when my older siblings tried to get me to eat garbage flies by acting like they were eating them. Makes me think solders must been thinking the same thing. "Camel poop, really?" "Oh sure, giggle giggle, it really helps giggle giggle go ahead and try it, giggle". And third...I was eating lunch damn it!
The POWER that made the Body HEALS the Body!
This video was posted around like 1 year ago. The pee channel now has around like 29.9k subscribers.
I failed my Earth Science class in the 7th grade. Way back when Middle schools were called Junior High Schools. Way back before you guys were born. If I had ever had teachers like all of you I might have learned to love science and been a better student.
A lot of people probably watch this video about poop while having a poop.
Me: Eating dinner.
There isn't a bad time to learn new stuff.
Please 🙏 keep these amazing videos coming!!! I'm learning so much thank you!
Dude! You need the "golden" button for that channel - just sayin...
Poop! It's Poop! The world doesn't realize the value of Poop. It literally is so important.
The first thing I thought of when opening this video was Matt Damon
19:13 this is the first time bee's have been documented using stools"
Perfect release time... Lunch time
SciShow Poop - new channel lets go already
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming
This video auto played. 3 seconds in & this guy is in love with poop. I would never intentionally watch something so SOOOOOOOOY
At the beginning my brain thought he said “How much we owe, to Camel toe”
Me, an intellectual: I cover my front porch with poop, so murder hornets do not enter mein home.
22:50 it's a toilet 😂 this plant is literally a toilet 🤣 nature never fails to surprise me 💚
Jeebus cripes in a box....sounds like a bad vapor wave group... “pitcher plant and the shrew-poops...”
I took a poo in the YMCA swimming pool once and blamed it on a kid that was trying to make moves on my gf(the most popular girl at day camp). I ended his whole career with a single poo and some swift thinking. I know this has nothing to do with the video but I'm still really proud of that triumph 20 years ago and I wanted to share it with you
As that mans therapist for the last 20 years, I'd also like to thank you. $$$$
I never thought "without whale poop the ice caps would have melted by now" would ever be said by a single human ever, but here we are
The nectar toilet is open...
Is a phrase I thought I would never hear
Ahhh...Scishow. My first port of call for all things excrement. Thanks! :)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'd think i'd just choose death over that
When I took Microbiology in college we grew colonies of B. subtilis! We never really talked about medicinal uses so it's crazy to think we just make this stuff for fun every year at ATU
B. Subtilis was the mystery bacteria I had to identify in microbiology.
Silver button for your pee channel? Why wouldn't you want a golden one?
So apparently dysentery just means "bloody diarrhea" so Hank and others with IBD may commonly have dysentery. Moreover there are like five different species that can cause bacterial dysentery. There's a really good episode of This Podcast Will Kill You that talks all about it.
I don’t understand what the benefit of tricking yourself into not feeling cold is, like aren’t they still physically affected by the cold, like it could still kill them or hurt them, but now they just dont know about it
It's possible that the trait survived because it wasn't used often enough to kill pandas regularly. Humans are still alive even though some of us intentionally consume harmful substances for pleasure. Many other animals do so as well, such is the case for deer and psychedelic mushrooms. Evolution doesn't result in the perfect way of doing things, so long as it's good enough.
This is one of your best...and no. It doesn't embarrass me to admit it!
Poo of herbivores=amazing fertilizer and compost microorganisms
Just came over from a German channel. The name means "In a Nutshell", and the video is on viruses that hunt viruses.
Watching this while pooping.
I am actually SUPER passionate about the movement to save the honeybees. Does anyone know the names of the organisations who are behind the research of using the animal dung chemicals to protect hives? I would love to donate to the research!!
Love your videos. Advice FWIW when you wear high contrast plaid shirts it sets off migraines for those of us are sensitive. Low contrast plaid colors are not a problem.
Nature is strange but works
