Tomatoes are both vegetables and fruits because vegetables aren’t an actual biological term, but a cooking term. Like how carrots are biological roots and lettuce are biological leaves, tomatoes are biological fruits, but culinary wise they’re all vegetables
yeah, the main concern with tomatoes over other fruits that are also vegetables is the fact that it became a legal vegetable rather recently rather than just being treated that way historically.
One thing I love about sharks is that because only the jaw tends to get preserved, we're basically just assuming that these things are sharkish. The rest if the body may well be just as ridiculous as the teeth, and we'll probably never know
So Lindsay is a zoologist, who educates people about weird animals, has a great sense of humour, and can even play the guitare. One of the coolest people that we know of.
I work at a pet store and we currently have a chinchilla that loves hanging out in people's pockets. I can't even tell you how many times I've helped a customer with him in my pocket and the customer doesn't notice until he pops his head up, and they instantly fall in love (with the chinchilla... not me lmao). Socialization is much easier when animals are involved.
"Being embarassed at yourself from an year ago is actually very healthy" is way more philosophical than i was ready for in an animal facts video Goddamn that helps my insecurities. Bless your soul.
As a woman who wants to get into shark conservation, and wants to research and photograph sharks professionally in the near future, prehistoric shark pick up lines and even just shark related pick up lines will ABSOLUTELY work on me with a 110% success rate.
Hey, did you know that sharks will often birth live offspring and the little sharks can be seen swimming between the TWO wombs the mothers have? Are we married now?
@@AED10Plus the earlier ones to hatch might kill and eat the unhatched siblings before coming out of the womb. Also at this point, everyone knows sharks give live birth.
@@Choco_pazNot all sharks give live birth. See mermaid's purse (egg case). And live birth, for some sharks, is more like the winner of the hunger games gets to escape.
My hypothesis is that the stethacanthus occupied a similar niche to the remora fish. I think they used those pads to stick the under side of larger fish and they did that by having the placoid scales, that are over the pads, hook into the skin of the larger fish when it passes over them.
0:55 fun tomato/fish fact: An antifreeze gene (afa3) of the winter flounder was transferred to a tomato, to make a crop that would have had an increased tolerance to frost. It didn't really work out, so that strain was never commercialized. Your transition between the two things reminded me of it.
My AP bio teacher in high school went to UC Davis when they were modifying tomatoes and their project was repeatedly tried by different researchers like you said. She told us about all the crazy things they were doing to tomatoes, and how the modern tomato evolved thru this process of experimentation

1:04 tomatoes are botanical fruit (there are seeds inside), but a culinary vegetable (they’re used in a similar way as vegetables while being cooked). What tends to make people mad is cucumbers are also technically fruit, just with culinary application as a veggie. Anything that has seeds inside the part we eat are fruit.
I heard that Stethocanthus (I apologize for any spelling errors) may have been more like a prehistoric remora. That ironing board dorsal fin may have been used to stay attached to larger fish. I heard it years ago on Discovery Channel. Back when it was worth watching.
I didn't know they existed before but as soon as I saw THIS ^ was the first thing I though of. Like it seems to make sense to me. With the particular tissue found in that part of the body I could totally see them using it as a way to maintain a specific distance from the larger animal? Like "inflating/deflating" to better reach food or something?
The way the dorsal fin was shaped just kept reminding me of a face brush my mother used to have (although it was made of soft silicone). I wonder if it could've been used for cleaning purposes like that? Some sort of brush perhaps.
I know I'm very late to this party, but my first thought was for defense, like a puffer fish almost. Maybe it stayed close to the sea floor to keep predators above it, and if they attacked it could inflate the complex like an umbrella to discourage being swallowed. Having those denticles hit the roof of your mouth like angry Cap'n Crunch could not have been fun.

Have you heard of trey the explainer? His videos are a lot like Milo's but not focused on debunking conspiracies. He's been making videos focused on humanizing ancient people for many years.
5:39 "crying throwing up and foaming at the mouth" id like to say thank you for being very entertaining and educational, im currently studying all chondrichthyes but for some reason make it hard on myself so i love to study extinct "sharks" thatleave little to no trace behind. FUCK YEAH STETHACANTHUS MENTIONED!!!!
if you can find the contact details for the main author of the paper, you can email them and they will usually send you the full paper for free. Most of the time the scientific paywall doesn't actually give any money to the people who wrote the papers
Yeah I heard that too. Luckily, since most websites will at least show the title & authors outside of the paywall's perimeter, then it's just a couple Google searches & -BAM!!- free science! 🧬
12:14 I found a paper from 1998 online that took a closer look and concluded that the brush was calcified cartilage, not fibrous, so it was too solid and mineralized to be "inflatable"
I've ran across this video twice now (been subscribed for a while now) and I also recently started playing bass!! Can you imagine how disappointed I am that you haven't made a video of you playing bass?!?! 😢😢 PLEASE!!!??? Surely I'm not the only one wanting it!
we absolutely need another video with other prehistoric ratfish/sharks fr . Stuff like rolfodon, parahelicoprion, Ornithoprion, orthacanthus, and stuff like that ps: the edestus rizz worked I have a date tomorrow
I am truly attached to this channel, I love animals and funny people who go over them, you and casual geographic are some of my favorite RUclipsrs, and now I just found out this channel was made on my 4th birthday, thank you for existing 💀
Tomatoes are so confusing since they are both kinda, but botanically i think they are more of fruit, but by other definitions they are usually considered vegetable. Just like we usually consider strawberry berry, but it actually is multiple fruit
The reason why tomatoes are confusing is because in english "fruit" is both a botanical and culinary term, while "vegetable" is only a culinary term. A tomato is botanically a fruit, culinarily a vegetable.
@@i.cs.z The way it's prepared for consumption is moreso what I meant as weird. But that's on me for steering away a bit from topic. Apologies and thanks!
She has interesting facts to share, she has the cutest laugh, she has a cool attitude and she lives far away. Lindsay is exactly my type 😋 But for real, I love her videos and every single technicality makes it better, I swear ❤
bruh the buzz saw on the vpn ad was gold. nice way to bring comedy to a boring ad (sorry). Love your content and the editing is just the cream on top. so good
Nature facts will 100% drop my drawers, just sayin. Lindsay, you’re just brilliant; your videos are outstanding, and I respect and admire your ethos. Well done.
You know Linds, with your great series on "The History Of Life", you could also include a singing, short form version of it and use your sister's bass guitar! Remember "Finding Nemo" ? There's a scene in there when Nemo's school teacher, a big Stingray called Mr Ray, comes by and picks up all his little pupils on his back to give them a ride somewhere, and he sings them a totally cool little song to memorise that has all the periods in it while the kids are swooshing along through the sea, house to house, picking everyone up. Its like... "Ohhhhhhhh- There's Cetaceans, And Cretaceous, And there's...etc etc." My daughter was about three and she loved it. Well i loved it and sang it to her because back then i remembered it while she'd say, Dont siiing mummy dont siiiing. Precious child of the Angels.
I have only watched a few of your videos so far over the last couple months when they were recommended but honestly you make it easy to pay attention for someone who has trouble with drier videos.
1:00 Lindsey is the absolute best😭😭. Tomatoes are 100% fruit but on cooking some call them Vegetables because they seem more muted in sweetness but I grow tomatoes and they are so fucking sweet so i don’t see how people can call the veggies everything about them screams fruit.
Yes, if I’m not mistaken all vegetables are scientifically fruits but vegetable is a cooking term. Well, not ALL as some vegetables, like root vegetables, wouldn’t count as fruits.
@@Fruityflootloops Yes technically vegetable is a culinary term typically referring to leaf, stalk, or root of a plant. If the piece of food in question is the fertilized reproductive organs of a plant then it’s a fruit
0:54 Vegetables are a culinary term for any edible part of a plant or fungus. Fruits are a scientific term for the fruitng part of a plant that holds seeds. So, tomatoes are both a fruit and a vegetable as all fruits are vegetables, but not all vegetables are fruits.
Sharks as we know them have been around since the Devonian, and in that time, they have filled infinitely more niches than you could possibly hope to imagine.
i cant even begin tell you how happy these videos make me. you are truly one of my favorite creators on the platform and i love hearing about these prehistoric creatures
The other day I was talking with a customer and found out that her daughter (who had just left to go next door) professionally studies prehistoric sharks. I don't think I've ever been so star-struck.
@@johnnyearp52 Why not? I was actually thinking of a modern fish called Remora that has a suction plate on it's head, but in this case Velcro is probably the better comparison.
This is such a good one. They get better and better. So funny and entertaining. I didn't know I needed to know about prehistoric sharks and ratfish before I watched this video. Now I know. Thanks🦈
Do you think a video on lichens would be cool? They are pretty neat being half plant, half animals from what I read, and I've always just thought they were pretty! Also, molds. From slime molds, to black mold, mold is weird and fascinating.
Lichen are part fungus and part algae (it's a bit like how corals host algae for photosynthesis.) Slime molds are not fungi, they're their own thing, but they are amazing.
@@feuerling More of a reason for a video! I grew up at a hippy commune my great-grandparents built, and it is named Lichen. They used to be neuclear physicists till they had 4 very brain broken children..Explains a lot lol.
XD Yikes, I KNEW I should've been using prehistoric shark-like fish fun facts instead of my shipwreck history fun facts! Great vid, I really enjoy how you process information and make it both accessible, digestible, and just plain fun to learn! ^_^
no i want the shipwreck history fun facts more lol i think it just depends on the girl or boy to be honest. i love these animal facts but history like shipwrecks and ancient civilizations would work even better in my case.

Be honest..you didn't say "Ratfish" to cover your bases, because you don't give a shit what people think. You said "Ratfish" as much as you did because you love to say "Ratfish." Saying "Ratfish" brings you joy. It almost brings you as much joy as saying "Ratmaggot." Ratfish and ratmaggot. Joy. 💛
I cannot express how happy it makes me that you exist and do what you do, thank you ❤
1. Huge fan of these videos, always a fun time 2. I LOVE that shirt, partially just because I like the shirt, partially because it’s so fitting for this episode and partially because I’m a huge fan of Julien
After 5 years of doing nothing with my life since graduating high school, you, Maya, and uncle Ben, have inspired me! I'm taking online college courses to get a bachelor's in zoology and volunteering at my local zoo! Thanks for the inspiration and motivation!!!!
GOOD FOR YOU! WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST IN YOUR ZOOLOGICAL STUDIES! 😊
@@zeeaurora6264 Thank you so much! Much luck to you in your career as well!!!
You have a weird but fascinating energy as you explain this stuff...and I'm loving it! Top notch editing too!
She is actually not wrong. I love animals and I’ve been wanting facts about animals for so long, and I watch every FACTS of animals.
Your content is great for people with adhd there’s enough cut scenes and random things that pop up like every second and random zooms lol it helps
15:02 love how every guitarist including me thinks we can play bass and bassist hate us for it 😂
4:12 I'm crying lol I wasn't prepared to this😂
Miniminuteman, Lindsay, and Dylan are going to be the new wave of RUclipsrs and I'll be so happy if that turns out to be true.
Have you heard of trey the explainer? His videos are a lot like Milo's but not focused on debunking conspiracies. He's been making videos focused on humanizing ancient people for many years.
Forget pick-up lines. I only want my girlfriend to yell, "Rat-tailled maggots!", then grin like Lindsay.
Relationship goals.
You're my favorite RUclipsr. I've been binging your videos for hours and have never had this much fun learning
5:39 "crying throwing up and foaming at the mouth"
id like to say thank you for being very entertaining and educational, im currently studying all chondrichthyes but for some reason make it hard on myself so i love to study extinct "sharks" thatleave little to no trace behind.
FUCK YEAH STETHACANTHUS MENTIONED!!!!
the fact that she also hates tomatoes just solidified my love for this woman
the fact some ppl hate society for making earth living hell just solidified my love for them
I found you through miniminuteman. This is the first long form video I've watched, and I *love* your energy!
at 4:05 when you said that i was literally hitting my bong 💀💀
if you can find the contact details for the main author of the paper, you can email them and they will usually send you the full paper for free. Most of the time the scientific paywall doesn't actually give any money to the people who wrote the papers
Yeah I heard that too. Luckily, since most websites will at least show the title & authors outside of the paywall's perimeter, then it's just a couple Google searches & -BAM!!- free science! 🧬
12:14 I found a paper from 1998 online that took a closer look and concluded that the brush was calcified cartilage, not fibrous, so it was too solid and mineralized to be "inflatable"
Absolutely did not expect to hear about a dkhead fish here.
I love this channel. It's informative, hilarious and it blindsides me every single time
Lindsay smiling at us is the real rizz
@8:00
I've ran across this video twice now (been subscribed for a while now) and I also recently started playing bass!! Can you imagine how disappointed I am that you haven't made a video of you playing bass?!?! 😢😢 PLEASE!!!??? Surely I'm not the only one wanting it!
Dude!!!! You could seriously sell stickers that say “that we know of” and you would sell out. Keep up the energy, it’s great!
we absolutely need another video with other prehistoric ratfish/sharks fr . Stuff like rolfodon, parahelicoprion, Ornithoprion, orthacanthus, and stuff like that
ps: the edestus rizz worked I have a date tomorrow
I am truly attached to this channel, I love animals and funny people who go over them, you and casual geographic are some of my favorite RUclipsrs, and now I just found out this channel was made on my 4th birthday, thank you for existing 💀
I normally hate when people talk like this, but for some reason I LOVE listening and learning from you 😂 It’s so aggressively positive and fast facts.
You did better at pronouncing the danish name Svend, then any other native english speaker I've heard!
Also these are great facts for flirting 10/10
"Our peabrain definitions and classifications mean absolutely nothing to the higher workings of this planet"
Absolutely poetic!
Tomatoes are so confusing since they are both kinda, but botanically i think they are more of fruit, but by other definitions they are usually considered vegetable. Just like we usually consider strawberry berry, but it actually is multiple fruit
The reason why tomatoes are confusing is because in english "fruit" is both a botanical and culinary term, while "vegetable" is only a culinary term. A tomato is botanically a fruit, culinarily a vegetable.
Rhubarb's a weird one too. Grows like celery and is cooked like fruit.
@@wayIess The part used botanically the stem, and in the culinary term a vegetable. It's really not weird.
@@i.cs.z The way it's prepared for consumption is moreso what I meant as weird. But that's on me for steering away a bit from topic. Apologies and thanks!
She has interesting facts to share, she has the cutest laugh, she has a cool attitude and she lives far away. Lindsay is exactly my type 😋
But for real, I love her videos and every single technicality makes it better, I swear ❤
Very wholesome description ❤🙂
bruh the buzz saw on the vpn ad was gold. nice way to bring comedy to a boring ad (sorry). Love your content and the editing is just the cream on top. so good
Can confirm, I want fun facts about prehistoric animals
Nature facts will 100% drop my drawers, just sayin.
Lindsay, you’re just brilliant; your videos are outstanding, and I respect and admire your ethos. Well done.
As a people I get hard to fun nature facts
You know Linds, with your great series on "The History Of Life", you could also include a singing, short form version of it and use your sister's bass guitar!
Remember "Finding Nemo" ? There's a scene in there when Nemo's school teacher, a big Stingray called Mr Ray, comes by and picks up all his little pupils on his back to give them a ride somewhere, and he sings them a totally cool little song to memorise that has all the periods in it while the kids are swooshing along through the sea, house to house, picking everyone up.
Its like...
"Ohhhhhhhh-
There's Cetaceans,
And Cretaceous,
And there's...etc etc."
My daughter was about three and she loved it. Well i loved it and sang it to her because back then i remembered it while she'd say,
Dont siiing mummy dont siiiing.
Precious child of the Angels.
That tap dancing scene was the best moment of this year thus far.
This is genuinely my new favourite RUclips channel and I am so sad that I’ve binged through almost all your content already
13:21 I'm not trying to flirt with you... or am I?
Me: Well, you had me at ratfish, sooo 😍
I really like how she adds "that we know off" to some things because it's true.
Hi Lindsay, I discovered your channel two days ago and binged all your videos and because of you I'm interested in zoology again!
I have only watched a few of your videos so far over the last couple months when they were recommended but honestly you make it easy to pay attention for someone who has trouble with drier videos.
1:00 Lindsey is the absolute best😭😭. Tomatoes are 100% fruit but on cooking some call them Vegetables because they seem more muted in sweetness but I grow tomatoes and they are so fucking sweet so i don’t see how people can call the veggies everything about them screams fruit.
Yes, if I’m not mistaken all vegetables are scientifically fruits but vegetable is a cooking term. Well, not ALL as some vegetables, like root vegetables, wouldn’t count as fruits.
@@Fruityflootloops Yes technically vegetable is a culinary term typically referring to leaf, stalk, or root of a plant. If the piece of food in question is the fertilized reproductive organs of a plant then it’s a fruit
0:54 Vegetables are a culinary term for any edible part of a plant or fungus. Fruits are a scientific term for the fruitng part of a plant that holds seeds.
So, tomatoes are both a fruit and a vegetable as all fruits are vegetables, but not all vegetables are fruits.
4:17 got me 😂
Sharks as we know them have been around since the Devonian, and in that time, they have filled infinitely more niches than you could possibly hope to imagine.
I'm so hyped for a longer version of the history shorts I love learning so much 😭💞
i cant even begin tell you how happy these videos make me. you are truly one of my favorite creators on the platform and i love hearing about these prehistoric creatures
Thanks!
As a female, can confirm I want fun facts! No better way to get me into a conversation! Straight up ❤❤
The other day I was talking with a customer and found out that her daughter (who had just left to go next door) professionally studies prehistoric sharks. I don't think I've ever been so star-struck.
1:41 lmao it sounded like a doctor Seuss page, i love this energy :D
If you ask me, the brushes on the head and the dorsal fin of the Stethecanthus look like they're for attaching to a larger fish (possibly the female).
Like Velcro?
@@johnnyearp52 Why not? I was actually thinking of a modern fish called Remora that has a suction plate on it's head, but in this case Velcro is probably the better comparison.
This is such a good one. They get better and better. So funny and entertaining. I didn't know I needed to know about prehistoric sharks and ratfish before I watched this video. Now I know. Thanks🦈
The irony isn’t wasted on me that I’m watching this a year after it first aired.
Do you think a video on lichens would be cool? They are pretty neat being half plant, half animals from what I read, and I've always just thought they were pretty!
Also, molds. From slime molds, to black mold, mold is weird and fascinating.
mood
OMG yes!
Then she can make my favorite mycology youtuber pun that I've ever heard: "Lichen subscribe" 🤣
@@revenevan11 Genius, 10/10 😹
Lichen are part fungus and part algae (it's a bit like how corals host algae for photosynthesis.)
Slime molds are not fungi, they're their own thing, but they are amazing.
@@feuerling More of a reason for a video! I grew up at a hippy commune my great-grandparents built, and it is named Lichen. They used to be neuclear physicists till they had 4 very brain broken children..Explains a lot lol.
XD Yikes, I KNEW I should've been using prehistoric shark-like fish fun facts instead of my shipwreck history fun facts!
Great vid, I really enjoy how you process information and make it both accessible, digestible, and just plain fun to learn! ^_^
no i want the shipwreck history fun facts more lol i think it just depends on the girl or boy to be honest. i love these animal facts but history like shipwrecks and ancient civilizations would work even better in my case.
