I am picturing a group of rocket scientist all going to the store together and standing around the tampon aisle trying to figure out which ones to buy and then drawing straws to see who had to go to the checkout and buy them.
Bhahahahaha my God this is so funny hahaha
-
in a case like that, one could just say they are for your sister who is in the C.i.A. :
She just can’t come to the store because she is in ultra-deep undercover.
As my mom used to say:
“Why tell the truth, when a silly, funny lie is even better?”
-
Yep. My husband is one!
My boyfriend is a rocket scientist and I sent him this song and he asked me “is that a lot?” So yes I can confirm that rocket scientists have no clue how women work 😭
This made me laugh as loud as the song did.
😂😂 keep him away from them so he doesn't tie the strings together! 😂
🙄
Why should he be expected to know lmao
@@traffeconeHe isn’t expected to know(or at least that is what he thinks should happen). Which is what makes it funny.
I have literally lost sleep because of this. Chilling in bed, minding my own business, trying to sleep, and this song pops in my head...I end up snort-laughing and almost pee myself. Every damn time. It’s catchy and hysterical, and I’m so mad! 😂😂😂💀💀💀
Same here!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I’m actually in bed right now and thought to myself, “Let’s listen to the 100 tampons song again!” 🤣
Rectifying thought, If they were to get stranded, let's say 3 months to prep a rescue flight, maybe longer, that would be needed, and NASA always goes over what is needed.
Samee
They should make a special NASA endorsed box of 100 tampons to sell! Put Sally Ride’s picture on the front- like they do with athletes on a Wheaties box! And donate a portion of the income to help girls and women in developing countries. This song should be used as a theme song in commercials for this product- But please don’t tie the strings together!! Love this song! 😁💙🌻
I agree, but they should use the money to teach little boy rocket scientists about the mysteries of women's bodies.
"Every purchase helps a NASA scientist learn a bit more about periods" written on the package.
It's been a year since you wrote this but you need to be reminded because this is genius
used preferably 🤣😅
Super yes!
Okay, but honestly I would have just gone to space and then made a tampon "flower crown" and worn it for any transmission back to headquarters that involved video.
This is the only logical solution!
You can make all your jewelry with those many, for all the crew😂
This is genius
This is the ONLY SOLUTION to this
😅🤣🤣🤣🤣😅🤣😅😅😂😂😂😂😭😭🤣🤣😂
"Well damn it lady, how much do you need, two hundred?"
- Literally Rocket Scientists
She should have said yes to the 200. Free tampons, baby!
And?
@@meatisadelicacy But they were all unwrapped and tied up 😭 how could she keep them like that and where?
Dear “Literally Rocket Scientists”- You must have somehow failed grammar. It should be “how many”. SMH
you miss the best bit ...USELESS TAMPONS ..they sent USELESS tampons ..they tied the string together ....those tampons are literally unusable ....she will have to untie them and the string ..isn't necessarily safe ..and then if it breaks ...that is IF she can untie them ....they sent 100 unusable tampons. ..for 6 days...and they touched them ...meaning they are now unsanitary and will WILL give her a bacterial infection...
“These are literally rocket scientists”
*imagine what new guy had to unwrap all the tampons and tie them together*
oh my god yes they were unwrapped
@@Dumpknoedel 😩
And this has to be done in a sterile environment!!! Lab coats and all!
Must haves been an intern
@@Apearia 😂😂😂😂
I think that was a joke to be honest
“Thanks..I guess🥴”
😭😭💀
Yep laughed quite loud at that one. Rewound, laughed again.
My favorite part!😂
The problem is not scientists giving her 100 tampons, thats just the symptom.
The problem is, scientists weight every cubic inch of oxygen/water/toilet paper, that a human (man) needs in space, yet somehow, menstruation, something half the population experiences is still an unsolvable dark mystery.
Maybe because every woman is different? And her periods can be different each time? And who knows what zero gravity will do.
@@frankbuck99 I mean yeah, and every human is different, but it would be irrational and nonsensical to send any person to space with triple the toilet paper any human needs.
Put it this way, if a woman used 100 tampons in a week she would probably be anemic from iron loss, not great for space.
@@suchi4free she would be dead from blood loss
I seriously call this the Parable of 100 Tampons because it says so much about our society.
"Each woman is different" does not explain needing 100 tampons. 😂
You don't even need 33...
They really said “women need a new tampon every 41 minutes” 😂
you did math for this joke. respect.
Wait, six days is 144 hours--isn't that closer to one tampon every hour and a half (86 minutes)?
@@aquila121Sleep
I actually was charging my regular tampon once every hour and a half on my first two days this week.😢
@@ZoeWithDottedEi mean it's not THAT far off from what sally herself thought as she thought 50 would be needed and is the number they went with, so while not every 41 minutes the expectation from her was still 1 every hr and a half or so of her being awake
I have high school students who take the Pill so they don’t get their period right before or during the SATs and it looks like they are officially smarter than NASA.
Yeah that's the reason you high schoolers are on the pill.. for their "SATs"
@@tken93 also things like endometriosis, pcos, hair loss, hormone issues... most women i know dont use the pill/hormonal contraceptives as contraception, but as a treatment for something else
@@tken93 Plenty of women do it around prom, travel, honeymoon, etc. Periods can be painful and debilitating. I throw up for about 36 hours every time I get mine, and am doubled over with very painful cramps for the same amount of time. I have absolutely used the pill to ensure I was free of that during important events. But please, enlighten us with your insight into the female experience. I'm sure it will be absolutely illuminating.
Also, contraceptive pills have A LOT of side effects that some doctors tend to downplay or not mention at all. I was on the pill as a young woman and almost killed myself. Turns out one shouldn't take it if they have depression or similar psychiatric disorders.
@@pingvinai_irgi_zmones You are so right! It’s almost like women’s medical care should be researched directly and completely, and not in the “men but add a pink ribbon” way that has been done in the past. We might have solution to that wide range of medical issues that the Pill is currently used as a make-do treatment for, something better than this medication with serious side effect. Then we could go back to that remarkably similar pastime of throwing cooked pasta against the wall and seeing what sticks. 🙄
1. they tied the strings together
2. if the strings where tied together that means they where unwrapped and that is supper unsanitary
3. they didn't talk to her and ask her if she would need anything else like medication for cramps
Regarding your second sentence: It was not unsanitary because they did it in a clean room, but there is an even funnier story behind it. They unwrapped the 100 tampons to decrease weight :D
@@jonah3704 it is unsanitary because they will get touched before they enter her body. There's no way to not have that happen since they're all tied together and unwrapped with no applicator.
@@leahdavis9434 OH MY GOD THEY DIDNT EVEN HAVE APPLICATORS . I COULD NEVER.
@@maxx2413 apparently non applicator tampons are the norm outside of America.. 😞
@@rapa2894 Not really
100 tampons 😂 will that be enough 🤦🏾♂️😂😂
Q: What do you call a fish with no eye?
A: Fssshh.
The crossover we need!
Maybe a little more 😂
Yeah, females uses more than 1,44 tampons per hour
Sure
Do you know what will happen to that woman on the flight? Why are you blaming scientists for actually giving her more if something happens?
Marcia, I’ve watched this at least twice a day for the last week and I sent it to every single woman I know. It’s easily one of the funniest bits I’ve heard in the last few years!
women? my wife showed it to me and we both jam it daily
I agree! It’s 3 years later and I’m still cracking up and have incorporated “these our are nations greatest minds. They are literally rocket scientists!” Into my daily life lol
My Dads a biologist and dead-ass looked confused when i was watching this... "what if she was stuck in space for 2 months though?.." 😮
Pretty sure if she was stuck there for two months she'd have been stuck there forever. Well, at least until the Shuttle fell back to Earth.
please revisit this comment. there is a lady stuck in space atm
@andij605 😕 well, I'll be damned.
There's a woman up on ISS now who only expected to be there 8 days but now might be there all the way until early 2025 (maybe 5ish months). Imo your dad is right to ask. EDIT: oop I see someone beat me to it lol so you know already haha
NASA has sent more Tampons to space than they have women :-(
Fun Fact.
Well, but that would be the case regardless. I mean, one woman needs more than one tampon, so...
I mean...I should hope so...
of course .. it sounds like you don't know how women work ... must be a NASA scientist .. if you think " a woman re-uses the ... "same one" for her entire life" ...
You all know what I mean
They TIED👏🏻THE👏🏻STRINGS👏🏻TOGETHER👏🏻 💀💀💀
To be fair, imagine accidentally spilling a box of 100 tampons in a spaceship and trying to catch them all 😂
@@marciamcdevitt964 can’t spill in space.
@@ankitaminhas4372of course you can. They don’t fall downwards, they just float off meanderingly in all directions, thus the hilarity of the image of trying to catch them all. Did you really not understand what I meant?? 😂
Does that mean they unwrapped them all beforehand?? ...How time-consuming and also unhygienic >
@@MagicalMusic15 good point.... 😳😂
If I had known I could have standup comedy sung to me, I would have asked for it much sooner. Thank you, Marcia!
You may enjoy Tim Minchin x
Bo Burnham used to do a lot of song comedy on RUclips. His first one, my whole family thinks I'm gay, is still his funniest, in my opinion.
🤣🤣 they actually just asked her if 100 was enough, but this video cracks me up every time it resurfaces because they did actually try to calculate it (based on what? No idea) and 100 was their best guess!!!
This never fails to get me cackling like a witch until I can't breathe 🤣🤣🤣
I love, love, love this song so much!!! I think I’ve listened to it about 525,600 times.
My first thought was "why don't they just give her a diva cup? You can reuse them" and then I remembered... zero gravity
Oh god
😂🤣
oH GOD
Also it was years years ago before diva cup
Even if there wasn't zero gravity
Menstrual cups were invented before Sally Ride. But that zero gravity nullifies the argument anyway... lol
I really suck at physics. What would zero gravity influence in the situation?
They apparently created makeup kits for women because they thought women wanted makeup. I believe it is mostly the unused item they ever have
Well, to be fair, they provided that because of societal beauty standards which they thought would apply to TV coverage from space - and it kinda has. A lot of female astronauts have gotten comments like "why is she so pale in space?" or "what's wrong with the ISS, she looks sick" and so on, because most of them don't (as you pointed out) wear a lot of makeup on the job.
That’s kinda sweet tho? Like I’m just picturing this scientist guy who probably has no social life being like “what can I do to help her?” I mean, his intentions were probably in the right place, little out of line, but in the right place.
@@hanygonzalez7476 🥰🥰
@@QemeH this suggests people are so used to women wearing makeup that they literally don’t realize what women naturally look like and assume they’re sick. 😑
@@inflorire Broadly speaking that is, in fact, the case - especially so for people "on TV". And you don't have to take my word for it, there are several interviews out there by female astronauts talking about how they recieved exactly those kind of comments ("She so pale!" - "Is she okay?" - "What's wrong with the lighting on the ISS?" etc.) whenever they'd do a TV appearance from space.
And it should be pointed out that women perpetrate this as well as men. A woman from the group of selected candidates for the first female astronaut once said in an interview about the question from NASA weather the group would need makeup:
_There were loud guffaws by a few of the women as though that was ridiculous because they never wore makeup. However, there was one fair blonde who pointed out that the pictures taken of us in space would follow us for the rest of our lives, and she-for one-didn’t want to disappear into the background. As a compromise, the equipment engineers worked with us to put together a makeup kit that could be requested if we wanted to take it on our flight. Of note, several of the women who had laughed at the thought decided to take it along_
Ordered my 96 box of tampons from Amazon and this song came to mind xx
lmao why i’m here rn
This song gets stuck in my head on a daily basis and I sing it loudly in my apartment. My neighbors are probably confused.
heard it on NPR and it sounded funny . The live RUclips was Great . As a man who has been asked "Pick me up some Tampoons" You easly NASA"s problem here . Thanks Marcia Belsky , you let me laugh out loud
Lyrics:
Remember when NASA sent a woman to space for only 6 days and they gave her... 100 Tampons. 100 Tampons... and they asked ‘will that be enough?’
Cause they didn’t know if that was enough. These are our nation’s greatest minds. They are literally rocket scientist.
They also tied the tampons together by the strings- like sausages.
100 Tampons. A hundred Tampons. I can picture it now- come with me.
I’m Sally Ride and I’m going to space for the first time. I’m walking tall; I feel so proud. Then I see a man running panic through the crowd. His holding a large bag... I think what can this be? And then he hands 100 tampons to me... And then he hands 100 tampons to me for 1 week.
They could’ve asked me. I would’ve said maybe 33. Cause even if it were my period week; I’d probably already brought some with me.
But you know... thanks I guess.
100 Tampons- how does she use a tampon when they tied the strings together. 100 Tampons.
Don’t hate me. 525600 Tampons. 525600 Tampons. In space.
Thank you so much. This was hysterical. Brilliant. Tears on my face from 100 Tampons in space.
I would take the tampons and keep them. You won't have to buy any new ones for a couple of months
I mean, it sounds like someone unwrapped them all and tied them together. I'll skip the toxic shock syndrome, thanks. ☠️
@@lilyl8002 Funnier than that!
They were unwrapped, tied together and re-sealed into a single pack in a clean room. The image of some poor intern in a full protective suit and gloves unpackaging 100 tampons, tying them together by hand and then sealing them into a new container is the most funny thing about all this - at least to me.
Who is she? Where can I get more of her?
marcia belsky. you should absolutely listen to her episode of las culturistas she is a genius
In 3rd grade we did a 'Wax Museum' where the kids were different people and the parents would tap a button and wed recite a speech. I was Sally Ride. Wish this had been in the books i read of her
Literally the only thing that makes me smile, if only for a moment
It's like they thought the space shuttle was going to be like the elevator in The Shining
lol
women in the comments: *dying of laughter*
men in the comments: *nAUUT FUNNAAYY*
it would really suck if y'all didn't get the reference
What's the reference
Sniff sniff... Is that a John Mulaney reference I smell
Do you think she writes her lyrics one word at a time?
@@reb3578 33 tampons?
NAOOOOO
100 tampons?
Yeaaahhhhh
@@reb3578 Don't forget the verbal abuse!
🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️Like whew they tied them together not knowing that if she was on her period that would piss her off probably making her cry “525,600 Tampons!!” That’s golden 🤣🤣🤣
...525,600
The best!
I liked your comment then disliked...gotta keep that magic number
Tbh, I see the 100 tampons as an absolute win. Having way more than you need is way better than not enough.
Just enough
The piano playing was CUTE ❤
Brilliant! This song is blowing up on tiktok, I had no idea until hearing it. So glad she wrote it!
For anyone that might possibly think this is an “understandable” mistake and not something ridiculous and definitely worth laughing about, I mean think about it, have any of you seen a woman get up 16 to 17 times in a day to go change a fucking tampon?! 😂😂😂
Back to using actual rags because who could afford that? 😅
I mean. If a lady stands up, I'm not going to fucking ask her, "Oh, is the reason you got up because you are changing your tampon now? What about when you got up 20 minutes ago? I'm trying to count."
So I'd have no idea, without asking.
I felt like that but I had super-heinous fibroids. I could go through a box of Kotex Security in like a day and a half. My hysterectomy paid for itself.
Men keep posting comments here about how NASA didn’t know how zero-g would affect menstruation and other arguments about how this isn’t an insane thing for NASA to do. So let’s crunch some numbers.
The average tampon absorbs 10 grams of liquid, meaning that 100 tampons is what is required to absorb a kilogram of blood, or 2.2 pounds.
The average woman discharges about 60 ml of fluid during menstruation, and a ml of menstrual fluid weighs about 1 gram, meaning that on average 6 tampons are necessary.
So giving her 100 tampons would only be necessary if her flow increased by about 1666%.
Also, that level of flow would mean that she would lose approximately one sixth of all the blood in her body due to routine menstruation. If the genuinely believed weightlessness would cause that to happen for whatever reason, it would have been irresponsible to send her to space to begin with.
100 is an absurd number of tampons, any way you figure it. This is very obviously a case of men not knowing anything about the female body, and not bothering to learn, despite being responsible for a female astronaut.
This comment section... clearly some “men” feel the need to attack all women when the joke is not targeted to THE MENtm.
But how could they have known, they're scientists
@@Tushinho How is that an argument? You can be a scientist AND know basic things about women. I am a women and know basic things about men.
@@spleens6885 A basic thing about women is that you guys menstruate around once a month. How are we supposed to know exactly how many tampons you're gonna need. Aren't all women different when it comes to that? Why not be better safe than sorry?
@@aahillakhani399 You may not know the exact amount, but 100 is definitely overboard.
@@spleens6885 What’s the problem with going overboard? 100 tampons is what?
Nailed it.
That ... was...hilarious!!!!
I was dying 😆 but the ending killed it 🥺
Ladies, I think we found the incel hive. Don’t make any sudden movements...
You attract them with any female comedians or gamers. Then attack.
I eat upset incel comments and I’m alllll full. 😋
Brilliant! Thank you.
It’s literally basic math to figure that out 24 hours divided by 4 hours=6 tampons a day. 6x7=42 tampons for a 7 day cycle slap an extra 10 on just be safe and give the lady 52 tampons my god they are literal rocket scientist
Part of the joke is that it was just a room full of dudes making the decision related to tampons. And, as a room full of dudes will do, they didn't bother to ask someone who actually KNEW what they needed because why on earth would you do that?
Oh, and I'm going to write this down in case I need to know later. Thanks.
cptnsummershoe and it doesn’t explain why they wouldn’t ask the person who’d use/want them for input. I mean, good lord, at least give her a choice to take the make/model that she prefers in the appropriate quantity rather than making executive decision. Part of the joke is clearly the math, but not including her in the decision is part of the joke, too.
Don't forget absorbancy ratio, the rate at which a tampon fills depending on the woman's flow. So ask her, cause if you send 52 lite tampons into space with her if she's got a heavy flow, you're going to run out.
@@btgrant Make and model. I love that!!!
Não conhecia essa história. Muito obrigada por isso, não consigo parar de rir 😂😂😂😂
Lmao the boys in these coments r so mad this doesn’t apply to their humor 🤣
Like all thr world have to spin around them, you know))
I consider this song, and liking The Good Place, my filters for anyone I want to make friends with
It’s hard enough having your period on an airplane, imagine dealing with it in space! Especially with tampons tied together 😂
Literally sent to my favorite women and some men. Best bit ever!!!
This was brilliant!!!
Literally brought tears to my eyes
This is hilarious :-) And also some women (such as myself) can't wear tampons, or choose no to... did they ask re pads? Diva cups, which I also can't use, would be... really bad in a spaceship :-) Horror film!
This is my anthem on tinder
100 TAMPOOOOOOOOOOOONS
I heard this song nearly a year ago for the first time, trying to sleep tonight and of course this song plays in my head on repeat. Send help.
I will be contributing atleast 100 view to this masterpiece.
That’s like 4 straight large boxes
I laughed so hard at this!
Why did they tie the strings together?! Also, not only are they unusable, they are also unsterile. 🤦🏽♀️
To prevent loss in zero gravity presumably. I see where they were going, but yeah no
So that there wouldn’t be 100 tampons flying around. Also, tampons aren’t sterile to begin with.
I fact checked it: it’s false that they sent 100 tampons to space with Sally Ride, even falser that they tied the strings together or whatever
However they did ask Sally how many tampons she would need and said “is 100 a good number?”
Marcia Belsky is hilarious!
I've never listened to the full song, currently cry laughing at 3 am
She killed this so hard 🔥🔥🔥
Amazing**!!
Are all rocket scientists virgins?
"We don't know anything about women, we dedicated our lives to science, and nothing else"
I cried laughing 😂😂
How the hell did I miss this 🤣🤣🤣. Amazing.
1) they gave her them because anything that goes on board the shuttle has to be clean. They wouldn't have allowed her to bring them herself
2) Being the 1st american woman in space was a huge milestone, so of course NASA wanted to make sure she had everything she needed.
3) Sally corrected them and she took what she needed.
4) while we know space does not influence menstruation, the scientists did not know that at the time. The were concerned about how much she would bleed, how often she would need to change, the smell of the tampons in enclosed spaces and if she'd have a retrograde menstruation.
5) on my heaviest cycle I used almost 100 tampons as I was bleeding far longer than a week- as I stated in 4, scientists didn't know how space may impact women.
This is the best piece of music to come out of the early pandemic times. A bop to end all bops.
Lives in my head rent free
This is hilarious
i love the 525,600 minutes reference🤣
But seriously from someone who attended aerospace engineering for 2 years... There were only a few of us that had a vague idea of the fact that females were a real thing and not something to scare us if we did not clean our room when we were little
I fear that that idea is still vague since you referred to women as females, truly a mysterious creature xD
NASA intern after handing her the tampons: 😀👍
shes like the love of my life rn
I love this do much. But my periods last for over ten days and I still wouldn't need 33 🤣
Just heard this today. It made me think of myself for a sec lol. For me personally, 4 a day and 1 pad for at night is perfect.
How does she use them if they’re tied together 😂😂😂😂
Just a little behind the scenes: Engineers asked if 100 tampons should be the number that should be accommodated for on the craft. Every bit of weight must be calculated to ensure the craft has enough fuel and to ensure safe travel for the crew.
Engineers asked Ride, "Is 100 the right number?" She would be in space for a week. "That would NOT be the right number," she told them.🤣🤣
Lol no, they literally were so ignorant they asked Sally Ride not only if 100 tampons would be adequate but also whether she needed make-up...
I'm still Lmfao 3 years later
Now we need a reaction video from the NASA people!!😆😝
Of course, some of us wouldn't even bring tampons with us into space, we'd bring our Mooncup 😄
With the no gravity thing id rather not tho hahah
😂😂😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 don’t know how I ended up here but how totally cool 😎
I’ve never seen this and I love it so much Marcia!
Love that.
This is fire 🔥 🔥 🔥
Put it out
I love it... this made me howl 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would have said
“Can I get pads instead?”
Brilliant. 😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏
My husband says " well that seems excessive " to them asking if 100 tampons is enough.
Yes, they are literally rocket scientists.
How much time do you think these guys spend interacting with women in the first place?
You gotta figure at least some were married but STILL had no clue
Man if someone’s losing enough blood in 6 days to fill up 100 tampons maybe they shouldn’t be going to space XD
Probably every single day. Even if there aren't as many female rocket scientists, they still exist you know and there are definitely some working at NASA today
I mean, Sally herself was also a rocket scientist.....and a woman....
They probably have a mother?
104 men disliked this video. 2.9K women liked it.
If it was me, and they asked "will that be enough" I would have replied "no.god, only 100?"
it's the RENT reference for me
ainda bem q vi isso no tt, fazia tempo q n via algo tão engraçado, veio em boa hr kkkkkkkkk
I need to animate this
Genious! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My cousin is female rocket scientist. One of 5 females out of class of 500, in her first year. Now she is doing PhD, very hard worker
