@@Asian.Thomas yes. You may eat so many spiders a year in your food and such. Usually peanut butter. But spiders don't crawl in your mouth in your sleep. There's a woman on RUclips who does research on arachnids and insects and she said the spiders get spooked by the CO2 and wind coming out your mouth so they actually avoid it because the sense it as danger.
I honestly don't think you swallow any spiders during your sleep ever unless you sleepwalk and grab them and devour them. Yes spiders may like warmth and humidity but I'm sure they can sense the vibrations and breath. I'm pretty sure they know better than that
Actually, yes. A predator who would want to consume a spider for nourishment would have lungs, things with lungs exhale some amount of carbon dioxide, lizards, birds, humans, whatever. Most insects and arachnids thus have evolved to sense and will avoid high concentrations of carbon dioxide, it makes them run away thinking a hungry mouth is perched over them. There is no way a spider would crawl into your mouth, it would be like asking you to knowingly climb into a loud, violently vibrating wood chipper. That said, they will crawl all over you to get around your room, use your body for heat, bite you for no reason or because you rolled over on them...or to eat your blood. If you live in California like I do you almost certainly have had tiny wolf spiders drink your blood hundreds upon hundreds of times. Those are the quick little black ones who don't make webs, yeah, those eat you.
I'm pretty sure the "You swallow at least 8 spiders a year on estimate" myth was made by a journalist who wanted to prove that anything they read in a journal may be false, and used this as a way of proving it, and most people just didn't hear, or didn,t bother to listen to her explanation
I think the 8 spiders thing is just an average. I feed around 56 billion spiders to my little brother every night so I guess if most people swallow no spiders the numbers check out.
I love that you included fan death! When I was taking Korean class we all joked that we should turn on the fan and all pretend to be passed out/dead when the teacher returned! lol
I've read that the fan death came from families not wishing the suicide of a family member to be known in any records. The shame associated with the suicide was/is something doctors were/are sensitive to, and so put the cause of death down as "fan death". I think, if this is the explanation, what probably happened, whilst many probably understood the euphemism, it's a euphemism for suicide, so they weren't inclined to discuss it very much, and then enough people failed to understand the euphemism that timers on fans became a feature, and then when people started asking about the timer, eventually became standard...this is all speculation based on something I read and can't source, but is interesting to think about.

1:54 This one is actually true where I live in the US. Here the city officials bribed the health regulators so the city didn't have to replace the outdated water pipes and loose money as a result. Numerous people have gone to the hospital because of lead poisoning, etc. but the city has done nothing. So we always get bottled water or use a Brita filter at least.
David Latham A small suburb of Chicago that's usually overlooked by most people. It has nothing noteworthy about it, so no one really cares what happens here. Not to mention all the city budget goes to the PD, while firemen and municipal workers are laid off.
Scott Krafft Ah, I see. It's interesting how Flint received so much attention last year while your city (and several others across the country) suffer and have been suffering from contaminated for years.
+David Latham It's really bad on my block, however. Since I live on a dead-end street, the water doesn't constantly flow, it just stagnates in the pipe at the end of the block. Not to mention workers safety rules are just plain laughable. The water department (where my dad works) uses trucks so old they don't have good seatbelts or sometimes none at all. So his (now former) boss fell out of a work truck while it was moving and got his spine ground up in the rear wheel well. He lived, but now has permanent brain damage. All because a few guys thought they could bypass safety rules by slipping some cash under the table. Plus they spent $200,000 on a welcome sign but can't afford a $60,000 paycheck for a fireman.

Partially. It's also down to different parts having different jobs. They all function frequently over the course of any day, but they don't all need to be functioning at full capacity simultaneously at all times.

He wasn't kidding when he said it's a South Korean specialty. This belief is literally confined to South Korea. As far as I know, it hasn't gained traction anywhere else.
The spider thing is true. Fun fact: if you somehow swallow less than 8 spiders during the year, the specific amount of spiders needed to fulfill the count will crawl inside your mouth in 1 day.
So does the U.S. - bottled water companies don’t have their water tested by the FDA instead their allowed to do it themselves and submit their own reports... which I’m sure they do... without lying to save costs at all...
Hinkley bottled water is one of the most expensive ones in stores but it is really just water from the municipal water supply of Chicago. That statement is on the bottle but in very small print.
Guys he was joking about the spiders (probably). Spiders are NOT fond of breezy or noisy areas, which is exactly what your mouth is. Don't believe me? Test it for yourself! Jk. Someone already did it for you in a youtube video. They put spiders on their faces and even INSIDE their mouths and they immediately crawled out.
Actually, a recent study done concluded that certain species of arachnids *do* prefer warm and moist areas. Particularly the American brown widow spider.
Grey: 8 spiders fall into your mouth. Me: Please tell me this is false! Grey: This is plainly ridiculous. Me: Thank God! Grey: 8 is too low an estimate Me: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
It was made up by a woman named Lisa Holst, who was proving you could make up anything on the internet and people would believe it. It was completely fictional. If spiders were in the habit of crawling into other animals mouths like that, they'd be extinct.
I would not worry so much about how many spiders might crawl into your mouth but more about what else might find that an inviting place to spend the night. Say, for instance a LARGE centipede. OH YES I DO KNOW WHAT YOU WERE THINKING YOU SMUTTY MINDED PERSON YOU!!!
i've seen a spider specialist talk about that "swallowing spiders" thing before. she even did an experiment on it. what she said was that spiders hate the vibrations made by your breath, and that they may enter in your mouth, but they'll get irritated and leave.
The spider count depends on what you classify as a spider. Dust mites fall under Arachnida the same class as spiders, and pretty much look like microscopic alien spiders. Including dust mites, you probably inhale millions of spiders a year from your pillows, mattress and bed sheets.
I laughed so hard at that last one :D For anyone who actually believed that, it was actually an experiment to see how fast information could travel across the internet, it showed just how connected everything is and is a really cool experiment.
fineĝaĉaregejino This is a real Esperanto word. It means an awful, pornographic, female, large heap of snow. This doesn't mean that Esperantists happen to have very specific words describing snow, it just means that, in Esperanto, it's possible to make huge words meaning ridiculous things.

if anyone is interested, here are the word for word translations for the super long word at 1.26 (they are technically grammatically correct, but the only one we would ever use is the 1.) (+ I'm seperating the words to show the translations) 1. German: Schwangerschafts-verhütungsmittel English: pregnancy. - preventative 2.German: Rechts-schutz-versicherungs-gesellschaften English: Right (in this case Law)protection-insurance-companies 3. German: Beteubungsmittel-verschreibuns-verordnung English: Anesthetic-prescription-regulation 4.German: Rinds-fleisch-etikettierungs-überwachungs-aufgaben-übertragungs-gesetz English: cattle- meat - labeling - surveillance - tasks - transfer - law
I appreciate you elaborating on the Korean fan myth. I was born and raised in South Korea and my relatives from the Korean side of my family always warned me about this, so I laugh when I try to explain this crazy myth to the American side of my family.
For the record; Yes, German uses compound words that can, in theory (as well as legal jargon) become absurdly long. But the fact that they are gramattically correct does not make them any less impractical, so such absurdly long words aren't used. If the only proper word for an object is absurdly long, it's usually shortened or an acronym is used. Example: A semi-trailor truck is called a "Lastkraftwagen" ("powered cargo car") in German. But it is almost exclusively referred to as "Lkw", to the point where most children will use the acronym long before ever finding out what it stands for.
1:25 rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungs means beef labeling monitoring task transmission but i dont know what the gesetz means. I used Google Translate for this if you didnt know.
"Gesetz" means a law in the legal sense, so that Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwaschungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz means a law regulating the deligation of the supervision of labeling beef.
It's not the oxygen in your blood that makes it red. It's the iron, which is vital for hemoglobin. If you take a whole bunch of gallium instead of iron, it can effectively replace it, and it will turn your blood blue, with very few side effects. In fact, gallium seems to work just as well as Iron. Only thing is, gallium is a lot rarer than iron, so good luck finding enough gallium to turn your blood blue. Edit: Apparently Gallium doesn't make your blood blue. Thought it could work to carry oxygen. Kinda... Not as well as iron...
Technically we do use 100% of our brain.. just not at the same time. But that does not mean that we have some "untapped" or latent power within our minds (like telekinesis or mind control) We do not use 100% of our brain at the same time because each area of our brain has a specific function. Some areas of the brain are for processing vision, others for sound, or touch or taste.. other areas are for storing memories, others for comprehension or motor control, etc. If we used 100% of the brain at the same time.. we would not be able to function, it would be like a massive seizure.
GP SMAV Hi, I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean by "maximum functional capacity". I don't see how anyone would be able to measure such a thing. From what I had understood the 10% issue was based on only 10% of the brain being electrically active at any one given time. So people felt that we humans could achieve new "powers" if we could somehow activate 100% of the brain at once. That was what I was getting at, how we don't use 100% of our brain at one time, because the brain has different areas separated for different tasks. Activating 100% of the brain at a single time would not benefit us.
GP SMAV So to answer you. Yes I was referencing it as a percentage of the actual physical brain tissue, not about its functional capacity. I do not know how anyone can measure our functional capacity to say we are only using a certain percentage of it.
+19billdong96 It is like drinking regular coke that gave up on life lost some weight and lost it's carbonation then was carbonized again. 10 times. When I drink it I don't feel the taste and it is so light I don't feel much aftertaste..
+TheExtendedReach Aspartame is unique among low-calorie sweeteners in that it is completely broken down by the body into its components - the amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine, and a small amount of methanol. These components are found in much greater amounts in common foods, such as meat, milk, fruits, and vegetables, and are used by the body in the same ways whether they come from aspartame or common foods.
its ironic how New Zealand is the perfect place for people to make bottled water because of how everyone is so close to mountains with streams of fresh, idealic water-bottling water (you can see the main ranges of mountains from near the coast pretty much everywhere) but we also have some of the highest-quality and free tap water in the world, so nobody buys it.

That'd be the equivalent of having a seizure/orgasm/heart-attack/panic-attack/falling-in-love/dreaming/vomiting all at once.

He wasn't kidding when he said it's a South Korean specialty. This belief is literally confined to South Korea. As far as I know, it hasn't gained traction anywhere else.
The spider thing is true. Fun fact: if you somehow swallow less than 8 spiders during the year, the specific amount of spiders needed to fulfill the count will crawl inside your mouth in 1 day.
Fun fact: Canada has tighter health regulations on tap water than on bottled water.
As does Germany.
So does the U.S. - bottled water companies don’t have their water tested by the FDA instead their allowed to do it themselves and submit their own reports... which I’m sure they do... without lying to save costs at all...
as a "fact" it's not "fun" as is, but for it's cynic conclusions
Hinkley bottled water is one of the most expensive ones in stores but it is really just water from the municipal water supply of Chicago. That statement is on the bottle but in very small print.

Spiders are NOT fond of breezy or noisy areas, which is exactly what your mouth is. Don't believe me? Test it for yourself!
Jk. Someone already did it for you in a youtube video. They put spiders on their faces and even INSIDE their mouths and they immediately crawled out.
Actually, a recent study done concluded that certain species of arachnids *do* prefer warm and moist areas. Particularly the American brown widow spider.

FAR TOO LOW AN ESTIMATE?? damn you were supposed to reassure me
I would not worry so much about how many spiders might crawl into your mouth but more about what else might find that an inviting place to spend the night. Say, for instance a LARGE centipede.
OH YES I DO KNOW WHAT YOU WERE THINKING YOU SMUTTY MINDED PERSON YOU!!!
Centipenis, don't google it.
Spiders don't really like humans all that much. it was a joke meant to scare you.
1:08 I died of laughing 😂
i've seen a spider specialist talk about that "swallowing spiders" thing before. she even did an experiment on it. what she said was that spiders hate the vibrations made by your breath, and that they may enter in your mouth, but they'll get irritated and leave.
The spider count depends on what you classify as a spider. Dust mites fall under Arachnida the same class as spiders, and pretty much look like microscopic alien spiders. Including dust mites, you probably inhale millions of spiders a year from your pillows, mattress and bed sheets.

Inuit doesn't use compound words, it uses affixes, but whatever close enough. German it's not a polysynthetic language like Inuit.
thanks
Of course, it isn't, especially considering the term itself (polysynthetic) is pretty controversial.
fineĝaĉaregejino
This is a real Esperanto word. It means an awful, pornographic, female, large heap of snow.
This doesn't mean that Esperantists happen to have very specific words describing snow, it just means that, in Esperanto, it's possible to make huge words meaning ridiculous things.
yup!
english does really the same kind of compounding as german, there's nothing actually morphologically different between "Glasflächenreinigung" and "Glass surface cleaning". but miguel has a good point, polysynthesic is a pretty vaguely/controversially-defined term.
If he had explained it that way, no one except you and me and a few others would have gotten it :)

I appreciate you elaborating on the Korean fan myth. I was born and raised in South Korea and my relatives from the Korean side of my family always warned me about this, so I laugh when I try to explain this crazy myth to the American side of my family.
Me too!
In the same line of logic/stupidity, it would also be dangerous to sleep behind a fan as it blew air away from you. Precious oxygen :)
For the record; Yes, German uses compound words that can, in theory (as well as legal jargon) become absurdly long.
But the fact that they are gramattically correct does not make them any less impractical, so such absurdly long words aren't used.
If the only proper word for an object is absurdly long, it's usually shortened or an acronym is used.
Example: A semi-trailor truck is called a "Lastkraftwagen" ("powered cargo car") in German.
But it is almost exclusively referred to as "Lkw", to the point where most children will use the acronym long before ever finding out what it stands for.
Please tell me the spider thing is a sick joke Grey, PLEASE!
It was a social experiment to see how fast misconceptions can spread on the internet. Its not real
1:25 rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungs means beef labeling monitoring task transmission but i dont know what the gesetz means.
I used Google Translate for this if you didnt know.
"Gesetz" means a law in the legal sense, so that Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwaschungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz means a law regulating the deligation of the supervision of labeling beef.
thanks mate

It's not the oxygen in your blood that makes it red. It's the iron, which is vital for hemoglobin. If you take a whole bunch of gallium instead of iron, it can effectively replace it, and it will turn your blood blue, with very few side effects. In fact, gallium seems to work just as well as Iron. Only thing is, gallium is a lot rarer than iron, so good luck finding enough gallium to turn your blood blue.
Edit: Apparently Gallium doesn't make your blood blue. Thought it could work to carry oxygen. Kinda... Not as well as iron...

I always assumed that the "10% brain" thing was referring to our capacity for use rather than the physical percentage of brain tissue we use.
Technically we do use 100% of our brain.. just not at the same time. But that does not mean that we have some "untapped" or latent power within our minds (like telekinesis or mind control) We do not use 100% of our brain at the same time because each area of our brain has a specific function. Some areas of the brain are for processing vision, others for sound, or touch or taste.. other areas are for storing memories, others for comprehension or motor control, etc. If we used 100% of the brain at the same time.. we would not be able to function, it would be like a massive seizure.
I believe I've heard we use around 30-35% simultaneously, so that is probably more like the capacity. We use all of it but not all of it at once.
DrGeneralkumar82 Again, you are refrencing the physical brain tissue use, while I am talking about the maximum functional capacity.
GP SMAV
Hi, I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean by "maximum functional capacity". I don't see how anyone would be able to measure such a thing. From what I had understood the 10% issue was based on only 10% of the brain being electrically active at any one given time. So people felt that we humans could achieve new "powers" if we could somehow activate 100% of the brain at once. That was what I was getting at, how we don't use 100% of our brain at one time, because the brain has different areas separated for different tasks. Activating 100% of the brain at a single time would not benefit us.
GP SMAV
So to answer you. Yes I was referencing it as a percentage of the actual physical brain tissue, not about its functional capacity. I do not know how anyone can measure our functional capacity to say we are only using a certain percentage of it.

+TheExtendedReach Aspartame is unique among low-calorie sweeteners in that it is completely broken down by the body into its components - the amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine, and a small amount of methanol. These components are found in much greater amounts in common foods, such as meat, milk, fruits, and vegetables, and are used by the body in the same ways whether they come from aspartame or common foods.
