Thank you, we appreciate your support!
Kill me if that happens
If Giant bugs roamed the Earth, giant bug spray cans would too 💀
Yes
sheesh
Wtff😂😂😂
That spray could easily kill humans too💀

No, *Discombobulated*

"If Mantis were bigger than human , human can't lay one attack" ~ BAKI Hanma
If mantis spiders were a quarter of human size, we wouldn't be as populated as we are
mantises will be deadly but not as deadly as a gun
@@ProGamer_69420 You would need belt fead machine guns Or assault rifle with armor piercing rounds
@@hughjanus2781 just use mustard gas, that worked out for the germans in ww1
Imagine gigantic cockroaches flying around..
Thanks for the Nightmares
Finna grab a shotgun or a rifle
SWIFTLY GO DOWN TO HELL WITH GASOLINE DRAWERS ON😩
Bro imagine a giant pack of ants 💀
Imagine the smell
Welp i would’ve died of a heart attack cuz ill be freaking afraid of giant bugs lol
Edit 1: thanks for 85 likes lol
Would be like granny at the beginning of Ratatouille with a shot gun blasting everything in sight!
Youryouryouryout but you still your
So would Blathers, lol
Giant bugs: exists
Coyote Peterson: Today, I'm about to be bitten with the Goliath bird-eater
did it get you?
That will be his last video ☠️💐
Goliath man-eater
That King Kong pit scene to this day traumatizes me
I love that scene! It's so great! I have a fascination with the thought of seeing bugs and insects the size of cars and trucks.
Where is Godzilla when you need him.😂😉
This made me looking for any bugs near me every min
4:09 we needed the chaos emeralds to stop bugs 😂
Scientists should try keeping and breeding bugs in 35 percent or even more oxygen levels in labs and see how do they evolve.
No ….. no they should not lol
Unless if they doubled in size, the surface area of the exoskeleton would increase 4 times and their volume and mass would increase 8 times, depending on the arthropod species
They would also need to add more legs for increased muscle power, having the same agility like its smaller counterpart.
If they were to a giant size with limited oxygen, the number of trachea would have to be much larger.
@@chabangers3337 even if they escaped, they'll most likely die due to the lack of oxygen outside their enclosure.
They have done that. And the insects did in fact grow after a few generations.
I heared they did this at the University of Arizona but i don't know what happened
I would just simply leave the earth
This is something I think about all the time. I'm fascinated by it. It would be terrifying for bugs to be the size of cars. Probably even more scary if humans were shrunk down to bug size. I love all those old giant bug movies from years ago. I wish they were still made.
Same
If we were bug size it would be so much more terrifying, endless jungles of grass, soil, sand, concrete, and you're constantly running into a terrifying monster
@@Mikamichae Yes! What do you think a cricket, dog, or bird would sound like? I wonder would they eat you and how far you'd be able to see. Imagine running into a giant spider, roach, or bee.
I clicked just to say this.. This tick in the thumbnail horrified me at night on the phone 😶
Ticks (the one in the thumbnail) and spiders are not insects (bugs). They’re arachnids.
Even if the oxygen level will return the one of the Carboniferous period, insects will not return giants. To became giant you shouldn't have no one that hunt you. In Carboniferous period the insects had no predators, but today birds and animals will eat them all if they tried to became bigger

@@mightychroniclesuraniusvol6449 Arthropods don't have tracheas, they have a respiratory sistem connected to their skin. The more oxygen, the more they grow. But they cannot add too much weight in their exoskeleton because unless they would be crushed by it. And there are anathomical limitations that avoid them to evolve new legs (there is a reason why all the insects have six legs and all the spiders eight, and never happen a mutation that permit them to evolve more legs). More, as I said before, today there are a lot of predators. Even if they were able to evolve a super exoskeleton, it wouldn't be enough to resist to the jaws of cats, dogs, wolves or any other carnivorous animal that wouldn't hesitate to hunt such slow and easy prey. They would became extinct in just few days. During the Carboniferous period the arthropods were the only animal on land, and so they can grow, but today is different
Oh my GOD!! I would die if that happened thanks What If for sharing these videos.
Everybody would
On the subject of giant insects, is it possible to do a "What if" the world had magic and sorcery?
That might be fun and go well with this "What if". 😉
Agreed
Amazing idea
We would be like Harry Potter and a lot less Muggle technology because we would have magic
But this idea will clash with his scientific and logical explanations
I dont understand this question,,
didnt human civilization already exposed to sorcery and dark magic?
A recurring dream I have it starts off the same every time.
I’m walking in a Forrest when I hear the scuttle sounds. Then it gets foggy and then a black and gold garden spider the size of Prius just drops down in front of me. I run surprisingly fast but when I turn around there are about 100 of these huge monsters chasing me. I legit wake up every single time and it’s right before my alarm. Think it’s symbolizes the day can’t get much worse from here.
And what if these insects were big enough to put in exhibits like at the zoo!?😄
🇺🇸:mama 🥺
🇦🇺:😭They grow up so fast by baby 😍
“There’s something on your back!!” 💀
Giant bugs could equal world peace...instead of nuking eachother we'd be nuking Giant Wasp nests & Fire Ant colonies lol....but realistically we'd probably just use the bugs against eachother in warfare
Apparently they have mind controlled bugs like roaches 😭 insane!
we will definitely release bugs that will stop their offsprings from having babies by editing some dna shit
The army should invent an Anti-Bug gas Bomb then and drop it to the middle of its nest..
And Civillians fight them with anti-bug spray gun
"The only good bug, is a dead bug!"
Love what if videos
We love you too! 🙂
Thank you atmosphere…thank you…
Superb ❤
Thank you for your support!
*gets bug spray and sprays all bugs*
Not all bugs are going to eat you and I'm sure this would not work since we still need some of them
The bigger the bug the bigger the brain..... so yeah that's terrifying
I need the names of the films these bug scenes are from
I love films with giant bugs
Great video as usual 👍
I'd just curl up and shake like a leave stuck on a tree! Spider's are my phobia 😭
I love tarantulas but roaches have me clenching tighter then a newbie in prison.
My bowels immediately release man😩
Terminex employees just got a raise in this world
Nice video.
If this were reality right now, time to leave the planet
If that spider on the Empire State Building came at me, I would literally end myself
Nice
Could u do “What if your stomach never stopped growling?”
Certified Gold!!!!!
Just get Godzilla. He's dealt with this issue several times
that's dope
Dad ! I saw spider in the garden .
Ok I'll get a shotgun
35% Oxygen level is very safe to breath by humans up to 40% oxygen is used for recreational diving, infact 100% oxygen is safe to breath long term in atmospheric pressure. Oxygen toxicity can only happen under pressure more than atmospheric pressure. The risk with such high oxygen concentration is fire hazards and not oxygen toxicity.
For example 35% oxygen would be come toxic above 4 bar pressure (4 times atmospheric pressure) which would be the case at depth of 30 meters underwater.
Bugs could become the new dinosaurs
Imagine giant mosquitos 😳😬🙄
Terrible
@@aaronflowers8881 yea lol
What about giant roly polies? They're so ugly and nasty looking.
@@aaronflowers8881 lol 😂
2 words . . ''STARSHIP TROOPERS''.
This would be Blathers’s worst nightmare, lol
Australia:
Am i joke to you?!
I'm yeeting myself into space
My mother could EASILY kill them with her flip flop
Cap
Hahahaha now this makes me wanna play earth defense force
Our fellow HellDivers would truly be tested.
What if” the zero point existed” meaning the Fortnite orb that controls everything in existence
How can I ever be the same after watching this
Imagine praying mantis hunting us we'll be eaten alive
Interesting
the intro showing a giant tarantula walking over a man's hand is a big no for me
I had one just like her🥲. Actually I had 20. Gentle giants. So cute when they groom themselves
Fun fact: that’s the goliath birdeater, the world’s largest of spiders.
"call your mom" lol
We'd all be dead. Bugs are vicious
What if bacteria 🦠 were the size of humans?
Interesting idea, thank you for sharing it with us!
@@WhatIfScienceShow Oh wow 😂😱 I can't believe you reply to me out of thousands of people haha thank you and hopefully you make that video 📸
Looks delicious
There is Manga with this plot.... and there is a lot of gore in it
It’s giving love and monsters vibes 😭
7:09 i remember that movie clip but i forgot the name of the move
Thanks for the nightmare 😅
0:11 what movie this is from?
Im already terrified of wasps, but if they were human sized, i would not go outside at all
I would suggest a Dragonlance !!!!
Basically every "Earth Defense Force" game
They should make a series where someone releases a quantum wave to make plants grow bigger or something and instead it makes everyone shrink,and none of that talking pet ant bs.
I'ma go ahead and suggest : "What if women were faster than men in dressing?"
Funky butt lovin hilarious!
@@aaronflowers8881 What If lacks sense of humor.
@@dodo2829 Huh
0:07 "Call your mom" 💀
Oh my
I know that i said that i love ur vids but This way to grosse dude😖😣😨But great content dude! keep it up!👍😃

Brothers and Sisters, we wight to the death! May the Force be with us!
Funny, I had just watched The Mist the other day. Giant bugs are a nuisance but think I'd be more afraid of Mrs. Carmody because our laws won't allow us to shoot her with a flamethrower.
Funny huh didn't watch it is it about bugs
@@roystondaniel2849 Yeah, the title of the movie is a bit misleading. But it's about giant bugs that attack humans lol
The Mist?
Please take this video more serious watchers. We love you all.
Thank god for birds
Is that a plane is that a bird
No its a cockroach
😱💥
Imagine a giant centipede..
Terrible
"Additional supply depots required"
Well, maybe we could have been bigger also. Surely we would all be relative. We didn't make mosquitoes small, but I am glad that they are.
I need a ebook
I like what if
The scene between 3:45 and 3:50, where is that from?
That's what I want to know.
Love and Monsters (2020)
I literally can’t watch this. I can only listen to it.
At 0:01 I saw the Goliath birdeater tarantula
YIKES!!! Imagine little CHILDREN seeing these GINORMOUS CREATURES!!! 😬
I walked into work today at 1230am and saw a GIANT water bug in the locker room. Needless to say, I did not wear my lab coat for my 16hr shift😩😩😩.
3:45 what movie is that from
Love and Monsters (2020)
What If mars had one moon, earth's moon. meaning like same ratio in size difference and distance same like earth to moon and if its tidally locked? can mars gain an atmosphere then?
i would cry
We would already be dead and extinct if all bugs were even size of a tiny dog.
Nah, we just need mom' slippers.
imagine being next to a million ants, oh god
what movies are these scenes?
oh so this is how animals feel huh?
Brooo is he the same what if narrator? He sounds different
