I want to thank you for what you did here. PTSD isn't a joke. I've lost a few friends to the demons they had from this. I've dealt with a form of it from an injury i got in the Navy. Too many of our vets or forgotten or assumed to be taken care of. I've been dealing with a bowel condition for the last 20ish years but it was subtle at first and infrequent. eventually, I ended up realizing it was something more than random stomach issues. So for 15 years, I've been going to the VA doctors and never getting clear awnsers and this July 4th holiday weekend I ended up having a really bad flare-up of my condition and was rushed to the ER. it took them less than 6 hours to figure out colitis and they suggested more tests. I don't understand how the VA could miss something like that with all the tests they did over the years. But after finding this out I did some searching and learned of the man-made Glory known as PFAS. this stuff was used in all kinds of stuff, like AFFF for firefighting. And I just so happened to be stationed on a Navy base that is and was contaminated with this stuff. EPA testing had levels at 492,000ppt higher than recommended levels. These chemicals cause all kinds of issues in the human body. I found out that my current condition may be linked to exposure to PFAS specifically (PFOS and PFOA). Now Im fighting the VA about this. it's shameful how Vets are treated. so again I want to thank you for shining light on PTSD and its effects.
I served in the gulf war. seeing grown men strap bombs to little children and then send them to us broke alot of us to this day. Some of them were too young to know what was happening. The others had a look of fear and uncertainty which was 100% haunting if you were unlucky enough to see before it happened. If you were unlucky enough to realize what was happening in time you had two options, let it happen or use your force multiplier which was also mind breaking. When we captured any of those bastards alive we made sure they got their come uppins. It is a legitimate miracle from God himself that I am able to share this today.

Roanoke you just explained one of the symptoms I’ve had my entire life from trauma, not just from audio but from seeing the visuals of others with ‘cowardice’. I’ve always had a nervous tremble seemingly at random. It’s not very often so I’ve never connected the dots until just now. Thank you for taking the time to explain this, I genuinely appreciate your compassion for people in this way.
Society underestimates the effects of trauma and the occurrence rate of PTSD to an absolutely horrific degree. You go through your entire life not thinking a single thing about your experiences, and then someone opens your eye about it and you realize how fucking deep into your life trauma can be seated.
I have the nervous tremor and tics secondary to CPTSD and want to let you know about 2 things my therapist had me try that actually worked decently for me. #1 if the tremble is localized to say a single leg or arm you can gently tap or jiggle the skin a few inches above the affected area to interrupt the signals going from the brain to the limb and calm down the tremor. Fun fact the tapping and jiggling method also helps interrupt pain signals especially nerve pain! #2 is a grounding exercise. I pick a color or shape then scan my surroundings counting everything that matches up, this can help keep your mind grounded in the present setting and prevent the anxiety/trauma response from spiraling out of control. Sorry you deal with this too but hey now that you're aware of it you can learn about it and start trying out different strategies to mitigate the awfulness. Hang in there internet stranger, be kind to yourself and I hope you have a good day!

Actually regarding that Finneus Gauge note. Gauge’s mental changes are a bit overstated. First hand accounts of gauge state that he was back to normal after around a year, and his outbursts were more muted then described by the newspapers. The never the same again violent man quotes were mostly from newspapers selling a story.
@9:54 hello editor, Roanoke is referring to in Halo CE on the level 343 guilty spark there is a cutscene where marines stumble across a bunch of dead elites who they think were killed by friendly fire while it was actually the flood.
Shell Shock and PTSD are similar, but different. Shell Shock is the result of PTSD combined with the effect of concussive shelling on the human brain and body. It's why videos of those with shell shock appear so wildly different (shakes, tics, etc) to modern PTSD.
Traumatic doesn't mean only emotionally traumatic but also physically traumatic so PTSD covers it. It was first called shell shock due to the idea that a lot of soldiers who were shelled would develop symptoms of what is now called PTSD. At the time they thought it only happened only from being shelled.
thank you for what you did with the PTSD segment. i have PTSD (not combat related though, so i cant get much help sadly). its always nice to be reminded that it isnt weakness to blame for my issues, its my body still reeling from trauma.
As someone who has severe PTSD due to childhood trauma, I appreciate your segment dedicated to covering it. Also, this video really hammers home how founded in reality my fear of parasites are. I found the notion about needing parasites to adapt to mars interesting as I have mast cell activation syndrome and it makes me wonder if the allergic effect caused by it has any tie ins to parasites.
Ey Roanoke, I think it would be cool if you look at Amnesia: The Bunker. It’s a horror game with a spooky monster that would be cool to explain! Great video as always tho
Definitely good that most outbreaks are kept from the public, because with how everyone flipped out over a cold, an actual disease would end the world out of pure panic.
SemperFI Dogs. Thank you for explaining the parts about PTSD, and CPTSD. It's really hard to explain to people what it's like. You did a great job of explaining it's cause. That part about it not being weakness is so hard to get through to us. It's been over 15 years, and I still feel like crying in front of my wife means I'm weak. I just don't know what to do sometimes, people shouldn't have to question if following a command is right or wrong. Great video, thank you
@@pedrolmlkzk I'm there for my buddy, when he wants to talk. It's the little things, sometimes we'll be driving and he'll just point out what triggers him. One time we drove back from the range and he pointed out that some models of cars did it. We both served but I never saw combat, it's hard to understand but I'm glad he opens up. That is to say I don't have CPTSD, I've had my own issues but never anything on the scale of CPTSD.
The ptsd rant was perfect. The whole video got a like but that part alone was really important and I think we should talk about stuff like that more. Trauma isn’t a joke , tho if that’s how you cope with you’re own that’s fine , people who have been through high stress traumatic situations deserve help. Especially veterans, so many people respect our troops and praise them but as soon as they come back and show signs of needing help our society make fun of them. No one deserves that suffering
The Real Roanoke moments mean a lot. Appreciate the candor re: PTSD. I'm not a fan of the armed services, but I care very much about the people that the system uses and subsequently discards. They're often the best among us and deserve so much more.
Movies like these are always interesting to watch because of what could happen with old technology like this one, if this movie had modern technology would probably be a bit more different but it is always a fun what if scenario
I actually believe the reason why the German who grabbed the barrel of the soldier’s gun killed himself, isn’t because of any PTSD induced trauma, but simply because it was really the best option for him I guess being free from the influence of whatever was behind that door. He biologically died, but mentally survived or lived in a way.
I studied global disease biology at UCD and I just adore your vids…one of my professors brought up the observation regarding parasites and autoimmune diseases so your comment on that was great 👌🏼 I loved the parasite classes I got to take!
Hey Roanoke! Quick suggestion: would love to see pathology of the Typhon from the game Prey. (if it hasn't already been covered, of course) Love what you do and I'm always excited to see new videos from you.
Editor, I'm pretty sure that his "Elite" reference at 9:50 was referring to how the Covenant in the Halo games (including the alien species called "Elites" by humanity) always used plasma weaponry. During the events of Halo 2, a large faction of Elites find out that humans are the descendants of the Forerunners (the ancient species that The Covenant is supposed to worship), and that the 3 Prophets running the theocracy have hidden this fact from the masses. This results in a civil war within the ranks of the Covenant, with many Elites breaking away to side with humanity (especially during the events of Halo 3), while the Prophets fill the holes in their ranks with the dumber but stronger Brutes. However, during the events of Halo 2, before you learn any of that, your first evidence of anything amiss within the Covenant's ranks comes when you're fighting your way through a Covenant base, only to find an oddly quiet area, where you eventually stumble upon the dead bodies of many Elites that had died to plasma fire, suggesting that they had been killed by Covenant weapons.
Did a ride along with a couple EMTs because I wanted to be a first responder at one point. Get a call that a guy fell off a roof, when we get there, this guy is buck ass naked and is throwing these ziplock bags at his mom, and he starts concentrating on us. The bags were full, they looked like those bigger bags that'll fit a couple of sandwiches in them. What was in there was murky and cloudy and smelled awful. Turns out this guy was saving his "juices" for the past couple months. He splash one on the driver and the other EMT, his mom, the police that showed up a couple minutes after we did but thankfully I was safe in the ambulance.
Germany: "How dare you use such a weapon called a "Shotgun"! It's not fair!" America: "Well, how dare you use gas and flamethrowers on the battlefield! Those weapons have caused a great amount of suffering."
"Nooo you're not supposed to fight back to our attempts to genocide you, that's not fair, you're discriminating against us!" (c) Nazi throughout the history
I have PTSD, but the duration of the stress was about 15 years, and the frequency was maybe once a month at first, but turned up to every night 2 years in. Ended up having some real nasty physiological impacts, failing liver and other things all without any substance use. Really sucks.
Part of the issue with the irony of Germans using Chemical Gas and being against Shotguns is the fact that Germany was the one to use it en masse, while France was the first to use it. So practically speaking, both sides used Chemical Gas, Shotgun was basically just an additional war crime to the palate of unnecessarily violating the human body by just being a body pulverizer, if we all know how a buckshot and a slug would affect the human body. No, it doesn't excuse Germany from using Chemical Gas, but that doesn't exactly mean the Entente didn't employ it en masse either. Only Russia was unable to use it, because they weren't as advanced. If the French hadn't used Tear Gas, it is doubtful both sides would escalate until Germany's usage of Mustard Gas.
Wrong on the Christmas truce. After that day the line was basically halted. Forcing both sides to rotate troops as the bonding on Christmas night made a lot of the troops refuse to fight
My dad was like “ if you feel better you can stop taking the antibiotics or continue it” I asked what one was I supposed to do and he was like “well they say it’s better to finish the medication”…. I was like yeah I’m going to finish it I’m confused why you are not just telling me that I need to finish all of it. Really happy I did I have a tendency to get infections
I will say one thing in the German Empire's defense. I think I understand their frustration. The difference between mustard gas and a shotgun is there is fair warning before mustard gas gets you. It was a slow crawl of yellow gas coming towards you. And there is an easy counter to it. Gas masks. Shotguns would also have sort of have a fair warning, that being the troops storming the trenches which of course everyone would see coming. Now of course you expect stabbing and shooting, but not being shot with a gun that can tear off limbs with one blast. It is far harder to treat a shotgun wound than a standard rifle round wound. However, what did the Germans expect would happen to their men that they sent running in a straight line towards machine guns? NOT getting ripped apart? Well they were wrong! And the shotgun was just that but at closer range! Did they ever ask themselves what their own machine guns were doing to Entente troops?
when you started talking about ptsd that got me thinking what if the person doesnt have a emotional response to war so they never trigger their adrenalin and shit would they develop ptsd as well?
Yesterday a patient asked me if she could still take antibiotics that she got 2 years ago. I, a certified pharmacy technician, went through Many emotions at once. No. The answer is no. You should not have those.
Roanoke you are talking normal minded humans and shell shock there are 2 mental disorders that make shell shock and PTSD a nonissue Psychopathy and Asperger's autism syndrome. Both of these conditions have the effect of ungodly levels of mental fortitude, Stunted & even nonexistent social needs, & high abilities to compartmentalize information & experiences, so there are SOME humans who don't suffer PTSD as easily if at all.
Actually it was the French who invented the gas first. The French would tear gas enemy trenches and their soldiers would shoot the soldiers. The Germans just decided to save the ammo.
The reason it's always not see zombies is because that's one of the only groups of people we are programmed to show zero sympathy too so it's easier to watch compared to like ur neighbors becoming zombies and getting gunned down
Truthfully, when it comes to such infections, you may actually want some lag-time: A problem that comes on immediately and obviously will facilitate a quick quarantine and very stiff response. However, if given time to spread without being detected before the first person even starts showing symptoms, you can potentially absolutely decimate an entire front. The question is of course, after that fact, how do YOU contain that after you let the genie out of the bottle?
WW1 was when gas was first used in mass scale, however it was not the Germans that invented chemical warfare or gas warfare. While chemical warfare existed in some form for a long time, stuff like Chlorine gas was well known & repeatedly considered or attempted for use for the entire century before WW1.
Just a reminder that american football in fact is not the real football illustrated by the fact that 95% of the time its not even about your foot touching the ball.
Shellshock can also be the result of shelling causing brain damage, while most of this damage is "minor" repeated exposure to shelling increases the chances of this minor damage to occur in just the right places to cause major neurological dysfunction.
Stupid Question about the parasites in our bodies and space colonies: would it be possible to figure out what parasites “belong” in our bodies, and have our space settlers take “parasite pills” so that their systems are prepared for a return to earth it needed? Or is the “Earth Air,” option really the only option?
Frankly, this movie is playing out like that scene from Halo: CE when Fireteam Charlie encounters the Flood. Then they find a terrified suicidal soldier who tries to warn them. Y'think the director as a fan?
Roanoke, the shotgun thing is wrong. First, it was the French to use gas in war. The Germans had was just more effective. Secondly, the shotgun thing was a political move by the German government because they were facing criticisms for their use of flame throwers.
Hey. So we have two sports: One where you throw a oval shaped thing to someone who catches it with his hands. And a sport where everybody has to play a round thing called „ball“ with their „feet“ or one „foot“. So one of them ist called football. Guess which is which
One of my GREATEST fear is tape worms and watching this and now knowing tape worms CAN DIG THROUGH MY STOMACH AND HAVE BABIES HATCH IN MY LIVER....... makes it worse, I'm going to get you bad one day for making my fear worse.... maybe i will start on the anglerfish and giving you fact 😅
I don’t think you characterized the Christmas Truce very well. In reality, nearly all of the men that participated refused orders to continue fighting each other and the truce lasted several days before being threatened with prison and firing squads by commanders forced them back into combat. This was the case for both sides.
14:27 shellshock is not a form of PTSD that is a misconception, shell shocked as proven by Ukrainian and Russian soldiers on the front today is an actual physical traumatic brain injury caused by the head constantly being rattled by impacts of artillery on a constant or semi constant basis.
litterally my grandma she gets sick she gets antibiotics doesnt finish the prescrption cause shes better and ends up with a worse version and blames the doctor
While I loved this video, my fear (possibly phobia) of parasites made me have to just pause constantly. I either wanted to leap out of my skin or puke 🤢 Really interesting thought on allergies and parasites. While the idea of parasites makes me want to just nope out, the idea that my allergies are because I don't have parasites that would actually be beneficial is wild to me and I kinda hate it 😅 It is kinda funny the idea that the body stopped fighting some and just accepted them, integrating them into the system. Nature is crazy.
I like how you say American Football is the real Football despite knowing only a 10% of the game is played with the foot. While in soccer touching the ball with the hands is illegal if not by special circumstances.
Describing shotguns as pellet throwers instead of guns that shoot so many bullets that medics can't possibly find them all so the soldiers die slow agonizing deaths over the course of weeks is a choice... I mean mustard gas bad, but you can say that shot guns are also not good to be hit by.
shotgun pellets have as much power as a 9mm, except its 10 of them at once. you ever see shotguns in combat a guy will get shot once from 50 yards and is dead before he hits the ground
@@FedkaSlovanich That is NOT true. It greatly depends on the pellet size. Rat shot sucks but if you get peppered with it from 50yrds it's not gonna kill you. Maybe blind you.
@5:55 at that time you weren't, you were a rising star, sure, but not by any means a "powerhouse" in 1918, that was more of a 1930s-1940s thing when you really got your shit together
WWI tunnelers, damn those guys were something else. Their rates of "shell shock" were ridiculously high because there was not a moment they weren't under stress. Stuck in claustrophobic wet mud tunnels that could collapse at a moment's notice, where a single sound could spell your doom and even the bomb you're sent to plant could end your own existence, watching your friends die in collapses without being able to help them lest you alert the enemy to your presence. How any of them retained their sanity is beyond me. Absolute heros.
Fun fact about horsehair worms! Well, several fun facts! First, horsehair worms typically do not make their hosts more aggressive. Instead, they actually make their hosts more cautious. It does the worm no good if its host gets spotted by a predator. Second, the worms actually delay the onset of insect adulthood. They don't want the host to direct energy towards sexual reproduction, because that's less energy the worm can use for moving the host towards water. Third, when the horsehair worms manage to reach water with their host, they just abandon the host entirely. This means that if the host can swim and has enough strength left, they can get back out of the water and make a full recovery.
i got to see one outside of its host a few months ago during a big bout of rain! they’re honestly super cool critters. i didn’t know their hosts could recover from the parasitism- that’s really neat! thanks for sharing these tidbits :)
The Phineas Gage story is crazy. When he was receiving medical treatment, he started to vomit and the pressure on the skull caused "half a teacup" of brain matter to pour out of his head and onto the floor. The metal bar he was using also had brain matter on it. He somehow not only survived but was conscious and talking after the accident. The doctor didn't believe his story until he witnessed Phineas' brain oozing out of his head.
Yeah, he even walked back to town and sat on a bench talking to people while waiting for the DR I'm pretty sure. It's just a super crazy story. And all the time while it was healing, the DR had to cut all the bacterial and fungal growth that was growing on his brain. Crazy.
I had completely forgot I watched the story from Sam O'Nella too, love his content. I checked back on his channel and he's just dropped another video. But I looked in Phineas Gage's story again after watching a Mr Ballen vid about a month ago.
It was a great case for anatomical sciences, especially related to the brain. It proved that not every part of the brain was necessary to survive, however, it definitely was part of what keeps us in proper function as people. I find it really fascinating
Oh man I hated those horsehair worms. I used to live in the woods, and those things love to get in the bugs out there. I smashed a bug in my house once and it just exploded into tiny wriggling long worms. Nightmare fuel.
@@RuthMartinez-o7iEither you did not understand his joke, or you are just baiting, but he’s joking saying “Please do not tell any more stories for several weeks.” Basically, since his story was unpleasant, he’s jokingly asking him to not tell any more.

First hand accounts of gauge state that he was back to normal after around a year, and his outbursts were more muted then described by the newspapers. The never the same again violent man quotes were mostly from newspapers selling a story.
@9:54 hello editor, Roanoke is referring to in Halo CE on the level 343 guilty spark there is a cutscene where marines stumble across a bunch of dead elites who they think were killed by friendly fire while it was actually the flood.

Back 4 Blood?
@@taleteller4266 yeah
This was before Back 4 Blood.
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 yeah it is, still similar though
Shell Shock and PTSD are similar, but different.
Shell Shock is the result of PTSD combined with the effect of concussive shelling on the human brain and body.
It's why videos of those with shell shock appear so wildly different (shakes, tics, etc) to modern PTSD.
Shell shock is a form of PTSD, because PTSD encompasses a lot of different forms of battle fatigue.
Traumatic doesn't mean only emotionally traumatic but also physically traumatic so PTSD covers it. It was first called shell shock due to the idea that a lot of soldiers who were shelled would develop symptoms of what is now called PTSD. At the time they thought it only happened only from being shelled.
Certain kinds of PTSD can cause those types of physical symptoms. It’s not exclusively because of the physical effects of shelling.
thank you for what you did with the PTSD segment. i have PTSD (not combat related though, so i cant get much help sadly). its always nice to be reminded that it isnt weakness to blame for my issues, its my body still reeling from trauma.
"LOL I wouldn't have PTSD" - guy that cries when his boss puts him on the work schedule over the weekend
As someone who has severe PTSD due to childhood trauma, I appreciate your segment dedicated to covering it. Also, this video really hammers home how founded in reality my fear of parasites are. I found the notion about needing parasites to adapt to mars interesting as I have mast cell activation syndrome and it makes me wonder if the allergic effect caused by it has any tie ins to parasites.
Ey Roanoke, I think it would be cool if you look at Amnesia: The Bunker. It’s a horror game with a spooky monster that would be cool to explain! Great video as always tho
Definitely good that most outbreaks are kept from the public, because with how everyone flipped out over a cold, an actual disease would end the world out of pure panic.
I love how I’m watching this before bed
SemperFI Dogs. Thank you for explaining the parts about PTSD, and CPTSD. It's really hard to explain to people what it's like. You did a great job of explaining it's cause. That part about it not being weakness is so hard to get through to us. It's been over 15 years, and I still feel like crying in front of my wife means I'm weak. I just don't know what to do sometimes, people shouldn't have to question if following a command is right or wrong. Great video, thank you
You should find a true (male) friend to share this stuff with it will help
@@pedrolmlkzk I'm there for my buddy, when he wants to talk. It's the little things, sometimes we'll be driving and he'll just point out what triggers him. One time we drove back from the range and he pointed out that some models of cars did it. We both served but I never saw combat, it's hard to understand but I'm glad he opens up. That is to say I don't have CPTSD, I've had my own issues but never anything on the scale of CPTSD.
The ptsd rant was perfect. The whole video got a like but that part alone was really important and I think we should talk about stuff like that more. Trauma isn’t a joke , tho if that’s how you cope with you’re own that’s fine , people who have been through high stress traumatic situations deserve help. Especially veterans, so many people respect our troops and praise them but as soon as they come back and show signs of needing help our society make fun of them. No one deserves that suffering
The Real Roanoke moments mean a lot. Appreciate the candor re: PTSD. I'm not a fan of the armed services, but I care very much about the people that the system uses and subsequently discards. They're often the best among us and deserve so much more.

Movies like these are always interesting to watch because of what could happen with old technology like this one, if this movie had modern technology would probably be a bit more different but it is always a fun what if scenario
I actually believe the reason why the German who grabbed the barrel of the soldier’s gun killed himself, isn’t because of any PTSD induced trauma, but simply because it was really the best option for him I guess being free from the influence of whatever was behind that door. He biologically died, but mentally survived or lived in a way.

I studied global disease biology at UCD and I just adore your vids…one of my professors brought up the observation regarding parasites and autoimmune diseases so your comment on that was great 👌🏼 I loved the parasite classes I got to take!
this is the very first time I've seen Roanoke. God damn man, you're beefy!
Love the video! Have you done a video on the Pacific Rim organic weapons sent by the aliens?
Hey Roanoke! Quick suggestion: would love to see pathology of the Typhon from the game Prey. (if it hasn't already been covered, of course)
Love what you do and I'm always excited to see new videos from you.
Editor, I'm pretty sure that his "Elite" reference at 9:50 was referring to how the Covenant in the Halo games (including the alien species called "Elites" by humanity) always used plasma weaponry. During the events of Halo 2, a large faction of Elites find out that humans are the descendants of the Forerunners (the ancient species that The Covenant is supposed to worship), and that the 3 Prophets running the theocracy have hidden this fact from the masses. This results in a civil war within the ranks of the Covenant, with many Elites breaking away to side with humanity (especially during the events of Halo 3), while the Prophets fill the holes in their ranks with the dumber but stronger Brutes.
However, during the events of Halo 2, before you learn any of that, your first evidence of anything amiss within the Covenant's ranks comes when you're fighting your way through a Covenant base, only to find an oddly quiet area, where you eventually stumble upon the dead bodies of many Elites that had died to plasma fire, suggesting that they had been killed by Covenant weapons.
It was also important to note that the company over played the damages to gauge's personality to not pay him
Funfact a few minutes with a tornado followed by being buried alive will fuck you up as if you've been to war with ptsd.
Your segment in PTSD was amazing. As a Vet that suffers from server PTSD. Thank you
Did a ride along with a couple EMTs because I wanted to be a first responder at one point. Get a call that a guy fell off a roof, when we get there, this guy is buck ass naked and is throwing these ziplock bags at his mom, and he starts concentrating on us. The bags were full, they looked like those bigger bags that'll fit a couple of sandwiches in them. What was in there was murky and cloudy and smelled awful. Turns out this guy was saving his "juices" for the past couple months. He splash one on the driver and the other EMT, his mom, the police that showed up a couple minutes after we did but thankfully I was safe in the ambulance.
Germany: "How dare you use such a weapon called a "Shotgun"! It's not fair!"
America: "Well, how dare you use gas and flamethrowers on the battlefield! Those weapons have caused a great amount of suffering."

10:55 I love that sly Saving Private Ryan reference
23:25 I think you missed the best part of this story. That "staff" he's holding is what went through his noggin.
I have PTSD, but the duration of the stress was about 15 years, and the frequency was maybe once a month at first, but turned up to every night 2 years in. Ended up having some real nasty physiological impacts, failing liver and other things all without any substance use. Really sucks.
I’m probably not the only one who said this but the Christmas truce in ww1 ended with both parties flat out refusing to fight the next day.
Part of the issue with the irony of Germans using Chemical Gas and being against Shotguns is the fact that Germany was the one to use it en masse, while France was the first to use it. So practically speaking, both sides used Chemical Gas, Shotgun was basically just an additional war crime to the palate of unnecessarily violating the human body by just being a body pulverizer, if we all know how a buckshot and a slug would affect the human body.
No, it doesn't excuse Germany from using Chemical Gas, but that doesn't exactly mean the Entente didn't employ it en masse either. Only Russia was unable to use it, because they weren't as advanced. If the French hadn't used Tear Gas, it is doubtful both sides would escalate until Germany's usage of Mustard Gas.
I love how you actually approach these seemingly fantastical films and games with such a scientific approach. Thank you so much.
"they know that they need to get the power turned on before the fetch me their souls dogs come out" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 i love that part
Wrong on the Christmas truce. After that day the line was basically halted. Forcing both sides to rotate troops as the bonding on Christmas night made a lot of the troops refuse to fight
17:17
Well.....history sure loves to repeat itself, doesn't it?
It makes me happy that you put that ptsd segment in because it’s not talked about enough ❤❤
My dad was like “ if you feel better you can stop taking the antibiotics or continue it” I asked what one was I supposed to do and he was like “well they say it’s better to finish the medication”…. I was like yeah I’m going to finish it I’m confused why you are not just telling me that I need to finish all of it.
Really happy I did I have a tendency to get infections
I will say one thing in the German Empire's defense. I think I understand their frustration. The difference between mustard gas and a shotgun is there is fair warning before mustard gas gets you. It was a slow crawl of yellow gas coming towards you. And there is an easy counter to it. Gas masks.
Shotguns would also have sort of have a fair warning, that being the troops storming the trenches which of course everyone would see coming. Now of course you expect stabbing and shooting, but not being shot with a gun that can tear off limbs with one blast. It is far harder to treat a shotgun wound than a standard rifle round wound.
However, what did the Germans expect would happen to their men that they sent running in a straight line towards machine guns? NOT getting ripped apart? Well they were wrong! And the shotgun was just that but at closer range!
Did they ever ask themselves what their own machine guns were doing to Entente troops?
9:57 ah yes, that one halo 3 odst corner
when you started talking about ptsd that got me thinking what if the person doesnt have a emotional response to war so they never trigger their adrenalin and shit would they develop ptsd as well?
Yesterday a patient asked me if she could still take antibiotics that she got 2 years ago. I, a certified pharmacy technician, went through Many emotions at once. No. The answer is no. You should not have those.
Roanoke you are talking normal minded humans and shell shock there are 2 mental disorders that make shell shock and PTSD a nonissue Psychopathy and Asperger's autism syndrome. Both of these conditions have the effect of ungodly levels of mental fortitude, Stunted & even nonexistent social needs, & high abilities to compartmentalize information & experiences, so there are SOME humans who don't suffer PTSD as easily if at all.
9:54 Immediately knew the scene being referenced and even heard the lines in game. That level scared my shitless as a kid.
Actually it was the French who invented the gas first. The French would tear gas enemy trenches and their soldiers would shoot the soldiers. The Germans just decided to save the ammo.
"That was way off topic but that doesn't matter" 😂😂 😊
The reason it's always not see zombies is because that's one of the only groups of people we are programmed to show zero sympathy too so it's easier to watch compared to like ur neighbors becoming zombies and getting gunned down
I actually do have ptsd… you can develop it if the interaction or incident was so traumatic or a constant repeating pattern.
Gotta say I was pleasantly surprised by the sudden mars colonization lesson in the middle of the WW2 zombie movie thing
Truthfully, when it comes to such infections, you may actually want some lag-time: A problem that comes on immediately and obviously will facilitate a quick quarantine and very stiff response. However, if given time to spread without being detected before the first person even starts showing symptoms, you can potentially absolutely decimate an entire front.
The question is of course, after that fact, how do YOU contain that after you let the genie out of the bottle?
WW1 was when gas was first used in mass scale, however it was not the Germans that invented chemical warfare or gas warfare. While chemical warfare existed in some form for a long time, stuff like Chlorine gas was well known & repeatedly considered or attempted for use for the entire century before WW1.

I know this isn’t the focus of the video or anything, but visual effects are never that simple, man
Besides that, good vid!
Just a reminder that american football in fact is not the real football illustrated by the fact that 95% of the time its not even about your foot touching the ball.
Shellshock can also be the result of shelling causing brain damage, while most of this damage is "minor" repeated exposure to shelling increases the chances of this minor damage to occur in just the right places to cause major neurological dysfunction.
Stupid Question about the parasites in our bodies and space colonies: would it be possible to figure out what parasites “belong” in our bodies, and have our space settlers take “parasite pills” so that their systems are prepared for a return to earth it needed? Or is the “Earth Air,” option really the only option?
Frankly, this movie is playing out like that scene from Halo: CE when Fireteam Charlie encounters the Flood. Then they find a terrified suicidal soldier who tries to warn them. Y'think the director as a fan?
The explanation of PTSD is really helping me cope with mine.
Roanoke, the shotgun thing is wrong. First, it was the French to use gas in war. The Germans had was just more effective. Secondly, the shotgun thing was a political move by the German government because they were facing criticisms for their use of flame throwers.
That is definitely not me lifting at 70% at 24:50 😂
Hey.
So we have two sports:
One where you throw a oval shaped thing to someone who catches it with his hands.
And a sport where everybody has to play a round thing called „ball“ with their „feet“ or one „foot“.
So one of them ist called football. Guess which is which
One of my GREATEST fear is tape worms and watching this and now knowing tape worms CAN DIG THROUGH MY STOMACH AND HAVE BABIES HATCH IN MY LIVER....... makes it worse, I'm going to get you bad one day for making my fear worse.... maybe i will start on the anglerfish and giving you fact 😅

I love that these videos are just a more entertaining biology and chemistry class video😂
Anybody else have a weird audio glitch @27:54 that sounded like a beer bottle top being popped?
I don’t think you characterized the Christmas Truce very well. In reality, nearly all of the men that participated refused orders to continue fighting each other and the truce lasted several days before being threatened with prison and firing squads by commanders forced them back into combat. This was the case for both sides.
Phineas Gauge fills me with existential dread!
14:27 shellshock is not a form of PTSD that is a misconception, shell shocked as proven by Ukrainian and Russian soldiers on the front today is an actual physical traumatic brain injury caused by the head constantly being rattled by impacts of artillery on a constant or semi constant basis.
This is so sad, Roanoke has no legs to analyse.

While I loved this video, my fear (possibly phobia) of parasites made me have to just pause constantly. I either wanted to leap out of my skin or puke 🤢
Really interesting thought on allergies and parasites. While the idea of parasites makes me want to just nope out, the idea that my allergies are because I don't have parasites that would actually be beneficial is wild to me and I kinda hate it 😅 It is kinda funny the idea that the body stopped fighting some and just accepted them, integrating them into the system. Nature is crazy.
my pro gamer theory is that we will be like quarians if we colonize other worlds or meet other species in the future
Sorry, off to rumble I go. Now that ik theres uncensored vids. Let's goooo!!!
I like how you say American Football is the real Football despite knowing only a 10% of the game is played with the foot. While in soccer touching the ball with the hands is illegal if not by special circumstances.
Describing shotguns as pellet throwers instead of guns that shoot so many bullets that medics can't possibly find them all so the soldiers die slow agonizing deaths over the course of weeks is a choice... I mean mustard gas bad, but you can say that shot guns are also not good to be hit by.
shotgun pellets have as much power as a 9mm, except its 10 of them at once. you ever see shotguns in combat a guy will get shot once from 50 yards and is dead before he hits the ground
@@FedkaSlovanich That is NOT true. It greatly depends on the pellet size. Rat shot sucks but if you get peppered with it from 50yrds it's not gonna kill you. Maybe blind you.

WWI tunnelers, damn those guys were something else. Their rates of "shell shock" were ridiculously high because there was not a moment they weren't under stress. Stuck in claustrophobic wet mud tunnels that could collapse at a moment's notice, where a single sound could spell your doom and even the bomb you're sent to plant could end your own existence, watching your friends die in collapses without being able to help them lest you alert the enemy to your presence.
How any of them retained their sanity is beyond me. Absolute heros.
Worst part is I’ve never heard of this.
Fun fact about horsehair worms! Well, several fun facts! First, horsehair worms typically do not make their hosts more aggressive. Instead, they actually make their hosts more cautious. It does the worm no good if its host gets spotted by a predator. Second, the worms actually delay the onset of insect adulthood. They don't want the host to direct energy towards sexual reproduction, because that's less energy the worm can use for moving the host towards water. Third, when the horsehair worms manage to reach water with their host, they just abandon the host entirely. This means that if the host can swim and has enough strength left, they can get back out of the water and make a full recovery.
Thanks, I still hate it 😅
i got to see one outside of its host a few months ago during a big bout of rain! they’re honestly super cool critters. i didn’t know their hosts could recover from the parasitism- that’s really neat! thanks for sharing these tidbits :)
the fact that they willingly leave in water is how you can check an insect for horsehair worms, dip the bug into water and the worm(s) will burst out
The Phineas Gage story is crazy. When he was receiving medical treatment, he started to vomit and the pressure on the skull caused "half a teacup" of brain matter to pour out of his head and onto the floor. The metal bar he was using also had brain matter on it. He somehow not only survived but was conscious and talking after the accident. The doctor didn't believe his story until he witnessed Phineas' brain oozing out of his head.
i see you saw sam o’nella’s video too lol
Yeah, he even walked back to town and sat on a bench talking to people while waiting for the DR I'm pretty sure. It's just a super crazy story. And all the time while it was healing, the DR had to cut all the bacterial and fungal growth that was growing on his brain. Crazy.
I had completely forgot I watched the story from Sam O'Nella too, love his content. I checked back on his channel and he's just dropped another video. But I looked in Phineas Gage's story again after watching a Mr Ballen vid about a month ago.
It was a great case for anatomical sciences, especially related to the brain. It proved that not every part of the brain was necessary to survive, however, it definitely was part of what keeps us in proper function as people. I find it really fascinating
Legend has it the doctor's dog ate the chunk of brain and was plagued with the memories of a railway worker.
Oh man I hated those horsehair worms. I used to live in the woods, and those things love to get in the bugs out there. I smashed a bug in my house once and it just exploded into tiny wriggling long worms. Nightmare fuel.
