Ok. This intro HAS to be nominated as a contender for the Trash Taste Awardws this year. That whole segment about geeksplus at the beginning, then going back to talking about shtting and then hitting me with the nostalgia of bringing back Joey's old school alliteration intros. I just went through so many emotions in the first minute that I need some time to process that first before continuing
As a biology teacher, who already has his biology degree, I always get hurt when people misrepresent science. But remember, the boiz are not scientists. They haven't used their science education in quite a while. And for the average person, they weren't too bad. I have heard far worse, from far more ignorant people.
Connor has so many good points on so many topics, but his downfall tends to be his inability to articulate them as it happens. They even talked about this before. But he did an amazing job with this podcast. His rant on NFTs, his description of VR, etc; he gave solid analogies.
Mew I thought it was funny when they say "RTX on" talking about a remaster, and then when Connor starts talking about ray tracing, they couldn't think of the name of it.
i think it depends on how tired ot tired he is. it happens with me way too often! most of the time i get into discussions near the end of the day, when i'm pooped out of my brain, and just wanna shut down or autopilot, so having to force an argument out of me in that state of mind is..... well it gets rough, and the moment i wake up the next day is an instant facepalm fest!
As someone currently getting my PhD in Molecular & Cellular Biology, I really enjoyed your conversation about science in the beginning! Communicating scientific research to laypeople is suuuuper hard and I'd say one of the biggest challenges to researchers in any field. And since most labs and companies are at least partly funded, if not entirely funded, by the government, I can see the hesitancy to believe any data presented. A lot of government sponsored ideas have cost a lot of lives and trust, but most academic labs have nothing to do with political ideologies.
YES! I loved the way Connor described science and how it actually works. There's no proving anything, there is just removing doubt as much as possible. That's why we use terms like statistically significant, strong correlation, etc. But people don't get that science isn't 100% all the time, and that's the beauty of it! There's always more to learn or improve upon!
@@juhel5531 I can only speak for biology funding in the US, but while track record is taken into account while awarding grants, I think significance and innovation are weighted more highly. But I do agree with your first part, if only I could include memes in my thesis 😋
Most people were educated in a way that propose science as a concrete understanding of the universe, so the way of thinking amongst general public that science equal truth, and the rebellious attempt to discard science both emerges quite naturally. Also despite most scientists having no political interest, it dosen't mean it can't be influenced, like how tobacco company hire researchers to publish favorable reports, or how Soviet government for unknown reasons forbaded the research of genetics, to see what's credible one must look at how a particular research is done, but that's out of the range of competancy of the general public and the gatekeeping work have to be relied on scientific community, which cause the blackbox thing. On a side note, my personal experience on Physics tells me that getting funding is still a somewhat marketing thing, most research are not that groundbreaking and the significance might vary over time, and its common to see people competing on the same topic, so to convince your sponsors that its worth the money you have to make your proposal very convincing and attractive, surely its still base on the truth of nature of the study, but you have to put effort into emphasising how important it is, which often resulted in an overstatement of your importance. And there are also hacks to go around the system for resources, one of my professors publish a lot of paper on IEEE journel, like 40-50 a year in a three year row, he wasn't the major author for most of the time and the amount of significant contribution are not that different from other reseachers in my uni, but due to his publication output he got promoted very quickly from post-doc researcher to professor, which of course also granted him much more oppotunity and resources, on the other hand one of the post doc researchers in my uni was doing niche research on low dimensional quantum systems, his publications are mostly in Nature but only has publication once or twice a year, he has done a few very significant research in the past few years, but he go promoted very slowly despite all the success.
As someone who keeps tarantulas Joey's narration "I just got brand new tarantula, this thing could kill me in an instance, but GOD she is a beauty" is really on point
Ok. But why? I'm curious what possesses people to keep animals that can accidentally kill them. Like a dog can kill you... but trust and believe it would be on purpose and a fight you could win.
A big pit bull can take down a pack of coyotes alone and easily kill a human. The strongest breed of dogs in the world can kill a lion in a fight. The reason dogs are kept with little fear of danger is because they are domesticated to people(to the point of developing human like facial twitch muscles) Deadly insects on the other hand never really makes for a good pet or companion.
@@clydex7887 except... the reason a dog can beat a lion is not the reason they can beat a human. And yes, the strongest dogs will beat a human most times, but there's a chance. And even those I'd ask why people choose to own those.
@@hinoakuma6386 "killing in an instance" is a little over exaggerated, unless someone is alllergic mostly even if it bites with venom (which is rare) it will cause just swelling in that area. Also tarantural are not really meant to be taken on hand, they are more like fishes, just to observe them
Me who got her degree in zoology and getting a PhD in Entomology listening to this intro: 😳 Also, on a more serious note, it is pretty common to have depression in academia and animal research because all the bullshit and bureaucracy you have to go through to get the funding to research what you want
And those who work at shelters. They have to deal with fanatics who think kill shelters are the absolute worst without really thinking through who the hell has funding for sheltering the millions of abandoned pets just here in the U.S. Are they going to contribute enough money to make every shelter a no-kill shelter? No? Shut the hell up, then 🙄. Also, dark side of a no-kill shelter: It means they have to turn away animals that might need serious care because they're stretched to capacity. Anyone else comes in...and someone will need to die to accomodate them. And workers who work at "kill shelters" often suffer deeply emotionally and mentally for it. There's the euthanasia, the people bitching that they're not doing enough for the animals, the animals that they are working their asses off to save...and then they lose them. It's a lot. "Compassion fatigue" ends up happening to a lot of shelter workers where their desire to help as much as they can but are bombarded with negativity ends up causing emotional trauma and many quit. So, now these animals have less people available to help them. This pairs into neutering as well and those who espouse flawed logic about how all animals want to have offspring and "How would you like it if someone neutered you?" Humans don't go into heat. We have fertile periods and sex drives, but not a strong compulsion that we must heed and procreate. Because dogs and cats, as the biggest examples in shelters, do have reproductive drives that are almost never ignored and they reproduce with multiples, it creates a lot of animals very quickly. Humans usually only have one child, with anything more being outside of the norm. It's not common for a cat or dog to only have one puppy or kitten. And not only that, with many breeds, the more times they get pregnant, the bigger their litters. Ever seen a RUclips channel that brags about breeding dogs? Ever wonder how their litters are often so big? That's why. And no, not all of those puppies will be kept by the owners who initially buy them. And that's just breeders, imagine this happening to stray animals. The number is astronomical. Spaying and neutering is a must to keep some sembelance of control on the number. Cats do alright living out on the street but there's the argument to make about them decimating wildlife with their hunting, spreading disease, and their much shorter life spans than indoor cats. Dogs...become dangerous when they're allowed to become feral, as they often will form packs that attack humans. And for both, rabies becomes more likely. Dogs also have a closer affinity with humans and have been bred to be pets. They're used to being provided for. I say this as there are some who feel all pets should be left to roam free and that's just not realistic. I've never seen a city with a large stray animal population where the city and animals looked well taken care of. So, you have all of these ideologies based on emotion and opinions, not fact, being hurled at shelter workers and many just end up having enough. They quit the jobs they thought they loved. Or they check out on life. We lose some amazing, loving souls because of it. When Joey said he's never met a depressed person who works with animals, shelter workers likely would agree to disagree. Hannah, from the channel Kitten Lady, has a great video that is much more polite than my language that she did a few months ago on the burnout of shelter workers and how fanatics and ignorance is pushing workers away.
@@thunderpup7899 I'd say support your kid! There's tons of job opportunities for entomology because it's such a practical science. And it's always good to see a parent not freaking out about their kid being into bugs 😅
@@bulwark2656 I would definitely say look out for schools with good research programs and a wide variety of animal related classes. So NOT school with just a general biology degree and only a handful of zoology courses. Schools that have zoology, animal biology, wildlife conservation, evolutionary biology, they're all very analogous degrees. I went to UC Davis which actually had all of those degrees! Once you get to a university, look up the faculty of your department and find a professor whose research interests you. Professors will have their research interests and publications on the faculty listings and most even have websites nowadays! You don't even need to know the professor. A lot of times, they're looking for undergrads to help out anyway, so just send them an email talking about what you like about their research and ask to join their lab. That's what I did with my lab and by the time I graduated, I had a senior thesis and published my research! And if you join a lab and you don't really like it, don't be afraid to move to a different lab! College is supposed to be a time where you figure out what you want to do! I started off in an avian lab and I realized I really didn't like working with domesticated animals so i moved to a lab that worked with my school's entomology museum and I've been in love ever since! Hope that helps 💕 Also scholarships, apply to scholarships!! Even in your senior year of hs! I can't stress this enough. There are so many scholarships available to students and lot of people just don't know about them.
Salt does kill bacteria, so does alcohol or boiling water. Problem of all this stuff is, it damages the open tissue as well and therefore will most of the time delay healing. Just use a modern anti-septic which usually doesn't even sting and is much more effective.
Connor is such a smart and informed dude, most of the time he's just fooling around but in this episode his knowledge about things is really showing through
@@alithegrape1696 I’m sure he’s already stated the idea that sometimes you need to make thyself clown in order to ease the atmosphere or something like that
I thought I was stupid for not understanding the appeal of getting recipes of AI generated JPEGS. Turns out NFT is just beyond stupid and scummy. It's high fashion, but digital. Sth for rich ppl to jerk eachother off in self implemented isolation from us peasants.
Many superstitions are rooted in historic facts, for example: A broken mirror will bring 7 years of bad luck. Thats because historically mirrors were very expensive (the reflectiveness generated with silver on glass), so if you broke one it could take years to save up for a new one.
I love and hate how Connor has a great understanding of human psyche and cultural phenomena, but because sometimes he can't convey the point well enough in words, all the meaning is missed by Joey and Garnt
I mean from their conversation, it shows that he doesn't. He's the one who was saying homebrew remedies were "superstitions", while it's almost the opposite. The homebrew remedies are based on experimenting and science, like Garnt said, rubbing salt on a wound does actually help disinfect it, vitamin C helps your immune system fight of flues, rubbing wasabi on wounds has a positive effect cause it fights of bacteria and so on. It's like the 100 stories in Dr. Stone, something humans figured out A LONG TIME AGO, and just passed it to their offspring through fun stories and riddles and shit. So Connor was 100% wrong in everything in those discussions, even though he did portray his feelings pretty well.
he's really grasping for words, and in my head I totally get what he's saying and I'm like "you're almost there, this is the word you're looking for" but he never gets there lol
OMG Connor fucking nailed the science argument in a way I hadn't ever thought of before. To summarize, "Science isn't about what is true, it's confirming what is wrong."
I mean, that's the paradigm of falsification that all modern science builds upon. No theory is true, they are only not yet proven wrong thus the best we have. You can read more on that if you look into Karl Popper who was a figurehead of that paradigm shift.
Not really. That's just logic (process of elimination). Science is about understanding the world through forming a rigid, educated guess to explain a phenomenon, then seeing if that guess holds up in practical experiments involving that phenomenon. Science is woefully inadequate in a lot of human related things because of that. Humans change, therefore much of sociology/psychology can become rapidly useless as societies change. Statistical based sciences are the LOWEST form of science, as they are easy to manipulate and can be used to obfuscate the understanding of a phenomenon, another thing sociology and psychology suffer from. That's why both of them have a replication crisis every generation or two, as the BS eventually gets challenged. If it's not a hard science, I can guarantee you that MOST papers in that area are wrong about at least one thing they say, and there's no easy way to tell what. This is why authoritative science-ism must always be challenged. Science is not about what has most evidence, it's about what is most accurate. And that means even one person could have it more right than the consensus, yet be silenced by consensus. As has happened over and over again in science communities. Science will be the basis on which all governments will cement their authority, from here on in. It is the best way to achieve classical fascism. Source: Am a published researcher in a hard science.
Nah not necessarily. That sounds like something r/atheist would unironically say. A lot of the time, science advances OUT OF NECESSITY. Whether it’s disease, war, or just improving daily life routines, science will advance. Nespresso machines came out because French presses are time consuming as fuck and the process needed to be improved. Vaccines in general as a response to diseases and plagues. Seatbelts because cars as a response to cars going faster and faster as time goes on. The fucking atom bomb to end ww2. List goes on
As a former smoker, it's not a matter of people not deciding to quit after finding out that it's dangerous. Rather than that, most smokers do try to, often on several occasions, but they are just not able to, because quitting is an incredibly difficult thing to do when your body's genuinely addicted to it. I do think that everyone do have it in them to quit, but it might take a while before they get there.
This episode has one of the best comment sections from all of the trash taste episodes so far. So many interesting topics and things are discussed, it just made me really fascinated
26:00 Honey is actually antibacterial, and it has a numbing effect. If you take it while you have a sore throat it will kill some of the bacteria lessening the effect while also numbing your throat to the pain. You can also get honey eye wash to treat dry eye and conjunctivitis. Manuka honey is made from a flower that is particularly nutrient rich improving the effect of honey on your body.
Yeah, I feel like Connor is dismissing some of these things way too confidently. Manuka honey is refined into medical grade honey, which is used in wound dressings and medicine by actual hospitals, due to its anti-microbial properties. Vitamin C (and plenty of other vitamins/minerals) are known to "improve" the immune system etc., because they are actually vital for various functions of the body. It's very possible and actually common to have vitamin deficiencies and therefore also have a weakened immune system, so it is incomparable to just drinking water. You wouldnt really know if youre getting enough vitamin c in your diet, but dehydration is very easily recognized.
I'm not sure I buy this. Sounds like the kind of thing "crunchy" companies try and sell you. Usually the case is it's either completely false, and or only partially true. I know manuka honey is antibacterial, but if it were really all that effective, hospitals would be using it. All I'm saying is I doubt that's the whole story. Also the paper I DID find did not look very good. Usually when it says in the sidebar "share on facebook/twitter" that's a red flag
@@Steve-xo5pq Raw honey has these antimicrobial and preservative properties, and can also work to reduce hay fever symptoms. However, the majority of supermarket honey has been pasteurised and blended to produce a consistent flavour across batches. This gets rid of all of the health benefits. As for Manuka, it has a high mgo content which is what makes it good for you, however it's like olive oil in which there's a massive counterfeit market and false labelling. So you can only really get the benefits if you buy direct from a local beekeeper.
Thanks to Overly Sarcastic Productions for teaching this There was a king who feared being poisoned, so he took small amount of poisons for a long time. He did get to the point where no poison he found could actually kill him. Later, when he tried to kill himself he couldn't poison himself so he asked a friend to kill him with a knife. Blue from OTV: He lived the way he died, not by poison
I love Garnts 'it's a lot harder for people to unlearn stuff than to learn stuff' theory. It's so true. Once you think you know something it's almost impossible to unlearn or replace it with new, more accurate knowledge. And you can't fill a glas that's already full... that's the reason there are so many conflicts all around the world.
I believe the term for that called Confirmation Bias. It's why antivaxxers won't accept any real science because they can always find some fraud to reinforce their beliefs. It's easier for people to find the one thing that confirms what they know rather than accept that they're wrong
29:13 OH MY GOD. I watched about 10-15 minutes of that movie as a kid who randomly put on the TV in the night cuz he couldn't sleep and no one else was at home, and I have been trying to find this again for YEARS. Thank you for letting me find closure at the most unexpected of all places. I love you guys xD
Metaverse & NFTs feel like rich people just discovered the internet for the first time because of the pandemic. We've had land, homes, weddings etc. in online games for ages. Commissions on social media & rights to own art... Yet they're so excited to own digital spaces and digital art lmao.
The people who make NFTs are laughing all the way to the bank. They just trade NFTs between alt accounts to inflate the price to tens of thousands of dollars then pawn them off on people desperate to get in on the NEXT BIG THING because they missed out on Bitcoin.
The problem is more that people should own the stuff they do in games. It's ridiculous that people just accept that they don't own the items they earn with their hard work in games.
1:20:00 this is why source engine after years is still doing an amazing job. In hl2 you can yeet the melon, play with npc corpses and toilets break into pieces. I haven't seen a modern AAA game allowing that level of freedom
Its crazy how I am binge watching trash taste and trash taste after dark and they literally say the same thing together at the same time for so many times.
The effect of salt on wounds can be explained by osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water from a less dense environment to a more dense environment, through a semi-permeable membrane. Salt water vacuums the water from the cells with low salt density and causing bacteria to dehydrate and die.
5:06 I recall hearing about how some people inject themselves with snake venom to build up a resistance to it over time, I believe that their blood is studied to make anti venom for people without an immunity
Yes and no, Antivenom is traditionally made by collecting venom from the relevant animal and injecting small amounts of it into a domestic animal(micro dosing). The antibodies that form are then collected from the domestic animal's blood and purified. Versions are available for spider bites, snake bites, fish stings, and scorpion stings.
Think of anti venom kinda like a blood transfusion(except minus the blood) from another mammal who has been intentionally dosed with venom. I am sure you could do it on a human also but I don’t think they do usually.
Yeah, snake handlers in India I think deliberately get bitten by the snakes they handle to build immunity. They actually inject venom into horses to make antivenom. Veritasium recently made a video on this.
For cuts or self biting incidents within the mouth, my grandmother taught me to use lime, baking soda, and salt(preferably more natural made than factory process), mix them ingredients to make a paste that will painfully work to seal the wound in the mouth. This aslo works on mouth ulcers as well.
interesting....we make something similar but with lemons instead, it helps cut through fat (if you ate a lot of fatty food and makes you sick),lactose (if you're intolerant) and cures some kinds of food poisoning... it also tastes pretty good
As an evolutionary biologist, I loved the science conversation at the beginning. Glad to see the boys have an accurate idea of what science is all about
@@hadoking3636 there were many scientists who disregarded/denied plate tectonics as a valid theory. It'd be hard to find someone today who disagrees with plate tectonics, but this revolution took place just like 60 years ago. The whole segment on the evolution of science just reminded me of this.
I was a “First Responder” at work and was required to take classes every year year that my company paid for. It was a whole day of various institutions and information. One of the instructors for a “treat” would set up an area and bring his cobra. (I kid you not) His set up was OPEN ENDED meaning if he’d done a serious misstep or had a heart attack the snake could have easily escaped. Aggressive little bugger, too. The snake, not Larry. He also told us a story about one of his rattlesnakes getting out and he finally discovered the mesh on the cage had a small slit and the snake was using it to escape. You couldn’t pay me to visit his house.
As somewhat of a zoologist myself, I can tell you bullet ants actually have a stinger, hence where the venom and pain comes from and not being bitten :D Also human saliva is generally good for wounds, hence the term licking your wounds! Also oranges are generally seen as good to eat because of their use in staving off conditions like scurvy, they provide a lot of essential vitamins preventing long term disease.
@@victorianicholls3991 I mean we are all animals. Yeah removes debris and helps kill bacteria and heal the wound. Wasn't saying people need to do it though :)
Actually humans shouldn't lick their own wounds, human mouths have some of the worst bacteria for that. While saliva does help for all animals (humans included), because of the large amount of "bad" bacteria in the mouth of humans that is pretty dangerous. That is also the reason why you should immediately get medical attention or even go to an hospital, when you get bitten by another human if it punctures the skin.
@@Ghost777Reaper I could imagine that being an issue if you have prior health conditions but generally mouth bacteria aren't the most virulent. I'd also argue it's better than leaving dirt and debris in the wound. However, obviously as humans we can just wash a wound and put on a plaster but you know we are animals and naturally don't have hospitals etc.
@@chickenicecream1942 Haha I did want to be a doctor but then pivoted to Zoology. And realised how it was getting me nowhere. XD Did an MBA from a good college after it and now will be joining my first job next month.
Always appreciating the fact checking by the editorial staff. Some other popular podcasts and shows often times tend to neglect this measure by spreading myths and weird if not even wrong rumors around unintentionally in the flow of their chitchat, which can have a subtle but harmful impact for leaving the room for misinformation concerning their reach. Mudan's commentary often helped to get doubts and speculations regarding sensitive topics out of the way quickly, which contributes to the high overall quality of the TrashTaste epiodes. 👍
Yeah, it's a welcome thing they do this fact check, and not sounding like hypocrites talking about so many fake stuff, and then spreading those same stuff unknowingly.
Problem is, you don’t get the fact checking when listening to the podcast. I don’t mind people saying incorrect stuff, but when they are simultaneously judging others for not being scientific, it’s a bit hypocritical.
I’m a nutritional science major and it was so much fun hearing them talk about Vitamine C. Garnt should definitely look up the history of vitamine C and the immense amount of research conducted on it. The short version is that Vit C doesn’t do much for colds but Zinc has proven to help shorten colds by just a little bit. At the end of the day, one can’t cure a viral disease like a cold or a flu, you can only treat/alleviate the symptoms!
Been just binging old TT episodes while working over the summer, and cool to see that having listened to them over the whole summer I only made it like 60% of the way Also with this much content, obviously cant remember everything they have talked about so it's neat sometimes having stuff come up that makes me go like "oh THIS was where that take originated Cheers bois, here's to many more years of Trash Taste!
Salt can certainly kill bacteria, thing is it will also kill your own cells. A high concentration of salt would just drive the solvent to the party with more salt by osmosis, which can effectively dehydrate cells. Killing them. Garnt is not so far off with how preservation by salt works.
I thought the entire point of salt for preservatuon was that it absorbs all the moisture and thus creates an environment where it is hard/not possible for bacteria to either propogate or live.
@@theshyboy it will literally suck the water out of the bacterial/human cell and destroy it, through osmotic pressure. That's why it hurts so much when you get water in your nose, the cells are actually dying from the salt concentration difference (osmotic pressure) of the water compared to the insides of the cells
It can be a temporary disinfectant if nothing else is available. Like if ur lost in the woods or in a post apocalyptic world and have no first aid. Removing the salt with water after using the salt to clean ur wound would be the right to do. You dont leave it on, that would make things worse.
@@Naldito15 soap is not that hard to find and i would say more common than salt Ed. Also in all the emergency aid/first response courses and talks I've been to i never heard anyone advice the use of salt is better to use just plain water if there's nothing else wich is a very hard scenario
Listening to the story of the guy who had a heart attack and died during a brain scan made me think, what if it were routine to ask death row individuals if they would consent to a brain scan during their euthanization? It’s definitely dark and maybe ethically ambiguous, but it would provide more data on brain activity during death
that could look ok to you but what it would lead to is one by one you cross the line of ethical procedures. And one day it is okay to use war prisoners, then refugees and so on untill it becomes something we can't tame.
Plus, any results you get would be from deathrow inmates who are not representative of the general population. I have this theory that the greatest way neuroscientist or computer scientists trying to build AIs could fuck us over is by basing their AIs on donated brains... brains belonging to people who decided to submit their bodies and minds to destructive experimentation. I wonder how that self-sacrificial psychology would influence their thought processes. At any rate, I wouldn't consider such an AI's reasoning to be any more sound than anyone else. I have grave concerns about AI development in general. We didn't spend the past century deconstructing the idea of supernatural gods only to develop technological ones.

@@josiesetiawan9516 Most companies/apps/sites that provides internet content have these kind of positions. We're called moderators for the most part. Like the one the bois talked about on Vice video are for facebook. Sorry but I can't really say which company I worked for.
@@UKnowme-mp4kn I don't think there are many, if any specialist companies for that stuff. Rather online companies have their own people who do that job, it is important to keep that stuff in-house because of accountability.

Ginger can help with an upset stomach. I'm not sure about spring onions, but garlic and wasabi are antimicrobial. On the note of remedies. A few weeks ago I was feeling dehydrated and getting headaches despite drinking a lot more water. I start eating spinach, nuts, and bananas for a few days to get my electrolytes up. So yeah, sometimes your diet is to blame or can help. Always helps to be mindful of what's going on the tank. Also, I appreciate the vitamin fact check. Look at trash taste, not spreading researchable misinformation while they shoot the shit for a few hours.
Insane subversion of the podcast name during the science vs magic section. Genuinely awesome takes and a proper understanding of what science is about, especially from Connor. And, regarding Joey's point that science is often refuted for petty reasons, Einstein's theories of relativity were initially dismissed by many big names within the scientific community at the time simply because Einstein's theories were radically different from the accepted theories at the time, and because Einstein was from Jewish heritage. Genuinely great discussion guys!!
There's a great story that took place in around early 1900's where the trend was to develop a mathematical theory for science to refer to in science papers. "unified theory" became a kind of buzz word, with theoretical physics becoming a big institutional field emerging in academics. If you were the person who came up with a theory that could "unify" all the different fields in one set of mathematics, you'd be a god. And then a jewish guy who's in love with his sister writes a paper from his patent clerk office about running on beams of light, and while I think his way of explaining physics in simple metaphor was beautiful, people at the time were livid, furious, and like honestly upset. That was the reaction at least, I think they were just projecting negativity. We would go on to dissect this mans brain, and find absurdly healthy connections between different parts of the brain (glial cells), he was definitely brilliant. It was a very toxic time culturally speaking due the proximity of TWO world wars. He really did come up with a clever way of unifying the different fundamental principles through relativity, his first publication changed the world. Without that understanding of the interaction between energy and matter, humans at the time couldn't have hoped to even dream the idea of an atomic bomb. It would take a lot of brilliant minds, but the foundation starts there, with relativity.
einstein, himself, did refute the idea of quantum physics too. A lot of scientists can get very stuck on how they view the world, and forget the basics which is that science is a tool that helps us understand the world around us, and as the tools and the user have a wider range of understanding, we get to see even more shit surrounding us.

My biggest problem with NFT's is that some of my favorite artists had their digital art taken from instagram and some rando was selling their art as NFTs, and getting rich off of other peoples art
Hey Joey, looks like your grandma was right. From google (I didn't go deep looking for sources): The pungent ingredient in wasabi that causes the nasal burning sensation is allyl isothiocyanate, a chemical also found in mustard and horseradish. And also from google: Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), a natural compound in plants belonging to the family Cruciferae, has been shown to have strong antimicrobial activity in liquid media as well as in its vapor form.
All things that burn, purify. If it's literally burning your flesh, it's like an apocalypse at the microbial scale. The trick is not to damage your own cells too much in the process of purifying your cut.
Grandma is so wise. :) Yes, I was going to say that herbs and things found in nature do have medicinal benefits. It does not have to be made in a lab by a pharmaceutical company. Known across cultures since the dawn of time. Also, Western OTC and prescription drugs are often derived from something in nature.
Wasabi is more like paste right, unless I've just never seen liquid/vapor wasabi? And does the allyl isothiocyanate content of wasabi enough to even have an effect? Like how (drinking) alcohol can be used to clean a wound but only in certain higher concentrations, like you wouldn't pour beer on a wound right even tho that still has alcohol in it. Lastly, do any of the other components in wasabi not cause complications/infections that it makes the antimicrobial property kinda moot? I hate to be that guy but yeah just like connor said, just because that 1% that it might work doesn't make it viable. I'll get back if I find some answers to my own questions.
@@idiosyncrasy7703 Wasabi is made by taking Japanese Horseradish and basically grating it. Sometimes they grind it down to a fine paste, mix it with water, etc. Fresh grated Wasabi probably doesn't have any bacteria or viruses you might introduce by putting it on a cut. Not sure about store bought. Given that, it can only help if it has any allyl isothiocyanate content. Even if that means just killing very few microbes. So long as putting the Wasabi on the cut isn't itself poisonous, no reason it would hurt you. Of course, that's assuming you don't leave it on too long. You would probably want to use actual hydrogen peroxide, either way. More potent.
@@thehaloofthesun7174 I guess it is better than nothing, if we look at it that way. But I've also read somewhere during my little endeavor that there are even "fake" wasabi that might not have the same components as the one we are discussing. I haven't looked into this as much so please take it with a grain of salt. But in which case you'd even be gambling if the wasabi you have at hand is the real deal. In any case, it is fascinating to discover such things just from an anime podcast, surely didn't expect that I'd be looking up scientific papers when I'm supposed to be relaxing from university. Lmao
Connor's reality checks are mostly why I tend to consciously avoid True Crime stories. I do consume very occasionally when my mind is in a weird place - and even then I choose very specific topics or types of crimes, but I try to not do it when I want to keep my day stable.
Take you time with it, I just did this until like 2 weeks ago and now I'm feeling empty in between the episodes and after dark streams. Cherish your time before it is lost. I even watched the ENTIRE 24 hour stream VOD on their twitch.....
don't rush it and enjoy it,, the releases are going to be less packed for a few months with after dark streams going on hiatus due to the boys travelling....
he had expressed this kind of view in previous episodes. I like where his head at but how he approaches it has been really painful to watch many times. Because it always seems like he is dismissing his friends experiences'. i am sure that's now what he is trying to do but it does come off like that.
@@eleonarcrimson858 aaannndddd he's back to dismissing his friends opinion. I'm kidding tho but slightly not. I'm sure he doesn't think what he says through a lot and has clear biases towards science so dismisses belief. I kind of have the same biases too so prob do the same to my parents
He obviously despises religious dogma and considering how bluntly he shows it in these episodes, I imagine in private he expresses it even more freely. Try not reading into it too much; their friendship is not gonna break from a _podcast topic_ recorded three weeks ago of all things lmao.
I think the funniest thing about the meta verse is that they’re just blatantly ripping off VRchat (released 2017) very, very poorly like Connor said and thinking that everyone will just jump in
I remember my dad like mentioning the meta verse to me the first time and my response was so what MMORPG been doing for decades? Ya no way I'm hell Facebook going to make a good one lol.
Before VRchat there was Secondlife too. Where you could rent digital land, sell digital goods, and dress up an avatar. Lot of games online offer weddings and other features the metaverse peddles.
@@RexZShadow Yeah right. I mean, isn't the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, with an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 for free with no restrictions on playtime, a metaverse already?
I watch these to go to sleep, and they play while I'm unconscious. I do not watch these while I'm awake. I think my iq has gone down since I started doing this 💀
i think eventually every one who feels weird watching shit, will stop. the way Garnt is with live leak, people will hopefully eventually be about true crime. i get it's entertaining but it's clearly better to not endorse it.
True crime has been around since media. It's not a new phenomena at all, especially from 1800s on. Jack the Ripper was a gigantic story in it's day, as popular as it gets.
@@OrbObserver Yeah. Notice how back then there were only a handful “true crime” stories. Now there is a whole market dedicated to trying to find every detail about any murder case and sharing it like it’s a book club. Not saying people who watch it are bad people, but I just think it’s weird to say that this kind of market has been around, when back then only Ted Bundy or Jack the Ripper were “the” true crime topics.
@@OrbObserver I don't think this person meant it was new in any sort of way. It's just that now content like youtube documentaries or videos have pushed lesser known stories/crimes because of shit like tiktok or youtube true crime channels.
@@andrew_h6 No dude, there just wasn't an internet. There was a whole industry of true crime novels, newspaper stories, and magazines for people who wanted to keep up on it. There were literally true crime book clubs. The bank robbers and outlaws of late 1800s to early 1900s were followed like superheroes. It's not more common now it's just easier to distribute. America's Most Wanted was among the highest ratings of any show when they were airing. It's not new, it's not weird, this is just what people want to consume and you don't have to participate or cast a moral judgment.
True crime is particularly perpetrated against women and is particularly popular with women. It's also in a way an education tool, how did it happen, why did it happen, what might you do to avoid it etc. If you don't like it, don't consume it, it's not going anywhere.
Have to agree with their philosophy of science talk... Go back 100-200 years ago, becoming an expert or even a polymath was infinitely easier than now. Specialisation is essential nowadays, and even scientists find themselves relying on experts in other scientific fields for answers. The fact that some people believe they can beat experts in their own field by just reading a few Facebook articles (or the like) shows how deep anti-intellectualism has gone nowadays. Misinformation campaigns spread like wildfire as they create exciting, black and white, easy to understand answers. Science simply cannot reproduce that excitement, as reality is often unintuitive and complicated.
most of this is the fault of the scientfic community for being gated of for the elitist untill recent times. so ofc when the internet becomes a common commodity, people use it to satsify their curiosity and lack of understanding which can lead to misinformation.
@@eleonarcrimson858 perhaps i misunderstood. i thought by "scientific community" u meant scientists, experts, and the like. but i guess u meant that only people with higher status were allowed to read up on scientific journals and researches? in that case, i do agree with your sentiment. even now, research papers are locked behind a paywall, so it's harder to read the actual source of information.
One of the wives tales my mom told me was going outside with wet hair makes you sick, stretching after eating can kill rip your stomach, making faces can get stuck that way looking back it was just to make me behave
Funny thing is in specific cases the myths do have some truth, bacteria grows in wet places so theoretically having wet hair for a long time could grow bacteria and get you sick but highly unlikely to happen, the stomach one is way more unrealistic like you would need to stretch your actual organ past it’s size limits by filling it up so much so that one is very nonsensical, the last one is also pushing it but theoretically you could cause a muscle spasm like for example a Masseter muscle spasm and get lock jaw but there is lots of variables to that like dehydration and calcium and chronic muscle problems and maybe it’s psychosomatic etc. but usually these wives tales and folktales and myths are just misunderstandings or oversimplifications of specific problems or cases.
The "Opening an umbrella indoors is bad luck" thing came from victorian era, and it was said because umbrellas where supper sharp and pointy and you may peck someone eye out with it.
The science talk was so refreshing to hear. As someone who graduated with a biochemistry degree in the middle of the pandemic in America, so many people in my general vicinity have lost touch with what science is supposed to be due to it being so politicized. Like yes science is wrong a lot! that's the point! that's why we learn the scientific theory in high school 😅
That's so good to hear. I grew up understanding that science is constant research and trying to find the truth. At some point, we all forgot about that.
In my country at least, most of the politicians have humanities degrees yet talk about science like they know what they’re talking about. I’m not even remotely surprised that people forget that science is built on doubt.
For the true crime part of this chat. I agree that some documentaries are overdone and glamorized but women have fears that men can't understand and watching/listening to true crime makes us feel less alone. Our fears are validated and we can learn how to protect ourselves by being more aware of risks, red flags and our surroundings. It makes me feel more empowered in a weird way. I also like cases that have an ending because I feel like if something happens to me someone will find justice for me. On top of that I believe people should know the stories of others and be aware of other peoples struggles so you can empathize with others around you.
The only old wives' tale regarding medicine I have dealt with was my grandpa thinking a tearduct inflamation was curable by applying a heated wooden spoon end to it. Luckily, my ass was freaked out by the idea of having charred-hot wood near my fucking eyeball that I absolutely refused and we settled on applying boiled water to it with a paper towel. For what it's worth, it couldn't hurt since it cooled way down before reaching my eye and it was sterilized water that I was washing the area with. Helped blood flow, too. So not only did my grandpa have his peace that I was treating it with heat, but I also got spared by what no doubt sounds like medieval torture.
18:31 In the Philippines its common for elders to put alcohol on wounds. You actually can but only on the sides to clean the wound, not hurt yourself more. It even says external use on the bottle.
I'mm so glad I'm not alone in the whole watching Kitchen Nightmares repeatedly over and over for no real reason while always going "Man I have no time."
On the topic of weird things when being sick: When I was a kid and started to get sick my mom would always cut up an onion into little dice and put it next to my bed on my night stand in a small bowl because it apparently does something so your nose stays free or something idk. Unfortunately, I always ended up eating the whole thing and still getting a cold after ^^
@@yellowcard8100 excuse me, is Star Talk a joke to you? Wasn't Carl Sagan a huge icon? Aren't those topics the entire niche of Dr Stone? Science is lots of fun, and can be top tier entertainment We need to demistify science and normalize it. Break the taboo, make science cool again.
19:50 putting salt stimulates the process of osmosis, where the salt absorbs moisture from the wound since bacteria grows on moisture, putting salt would on the wound would prevent further infection but yeah use antiseptic, its better
FYI, you *can* vaccinate against venom, although thats only by having repeated exposure to it. it was explored while they were inventing antivenom, and its also how we make it (we give horses doses of venom and use their immune cells as antivenom)
@@williamhanlon9479 i do watch veritasium but i got it from a wikipedia article and a 2nd hand account from a zookeeper, thanks for the recommendation though
1:45:00 I believe this is the availability heuristic, a flaw in our interpretation where what comes quickly to our mind is deemed significant. An example my AP Psych class gave was the fact that if you see a shark attack on the news you believe that they are common because the news put a lot of emphasis on it and it becomes more memorable in your mind, when in reality it's on the news because it's uncommon. So, when we see so so many forms of media that cover murders and horrible acts, when we think of living our own lives those terrible things tend to come to the top of our mind of what could happen to us and we believe that it is more common than it actually is. Sorry if that was a bad explanation, I'm not very good at articulating myself.
In Mexico we have Cinepolis VR, its a movie theater company, and in some special locations they have an empty room , they strap you with a backback, wireless vr and a plastic gun, and you are free to move around the room and its like a shooter game, some draw backs is that it wont let you get near the other people you go in with, if you get within a certain area it starts beeping ans shows you a small map on a corner of your eye to know where to move to avoid it, also does that if you get near the walls, also you cant run, but you can move around! jump, walk, crouch, dodge. and there are even things like elevators in the game, obviously you are just standing in place irl but its very cool! ive only done it once but a friend of mine has done the 4 or 5 simulations they have available
1:22:54 yes Joey VR Zone Shinjuku was a thing that had DragonBall Z, Gundam, Mario Kart, etc experiences but has closed.. I am not sure if they have moved to a new location.. I dont remember a treadmill based VR experience but there was a cycling one where they made the arcade cycling/flying into VR. Was still a fun experience to try VR for the first time
If i remember correctly, in the Tenet tangent (which should be a weekly segment) Garnt was more correct as the characters were there to find the “time machines” they only use the art because they had lock picking tools smuggled into them
The poison conversation reminded me of King Mithridates of Pontus that actually trained his body to be immune to poison and later tried to kill himself with… poison. It worked! He used a knife instead
Well it depends on the Toxin, you can’t become immune to all poisons or venoms by micro dosing yourself, for example arsenic will most definitely kill you once you pass the lethal dose threshold no matter how much you have micro-dosed, also I wouldn’t trust a historical account fully of something like that, they are often heavily embellished.
I highly suggest researching Toxicology if you are interested in this subject, scenes like the one in Zoro for example are misleading and stories often embellish the efficacy of micro dosing toxins. Wether fictionalized or historical accounts.
If you’re aware of the poison used you can look into the likelihood of the story being true or false by seeing the lethal dose and of course the effects on the body, to see how generally survivable it is or not.
The thing about watching murder, is that remember our brains evolved, to always be looking out for threats to our lives. When you are watching a murder or morbid event happen, your brain is analyzing the order of events so that if you get in this situation, you can escape with your head still on your shoulders. Basically what I am trying to say is that our brains find threats, than learn how to deal with them so than you can survive. Sorry for the wall of text have a great day!
Yep, a good example is of how we are so good at spotting snakes in the brush and even have a somewhat instinctual fear of them, as it’s believed our more primate ancestors were prey to larger snakes.
I don't know about others, but personally, I feel this way. I don't watch television much these days, but I listen to podcasts and RUclips videos in the background alot, most of it being either trash taste type content, medical content, true crime or just random stuff. I find, each case that I dive into, has helped me be more aware of my surroundings and such. However it has also made me insanely paranoid of near everything😩 but most people in my physical life don't have a care in the world about their surroundings or any threats so I feel it's an ok level of paranoia, given I've been stalked multiple times😅
I get that,especially for women, there were some many times in the podcast they spoke about their friends who watch it for that reason,but that doesn't really address the: becoming desinsetized to shit. Getting numb to watching videos that make death be a reality show,that interviews and sometimes bothers people who've lost their loved ones,just so they can make entertainment of it. I get that there are other benefits for it,but still. (I'm sorry for my terrible English,I'm not a native speaker.)
The VR discussion in this video is unironically better than most VR channels. Actually putting your thoughts on the table; what the platform is good at, what it's bad at.
Your life flashing before your eyes happened to me when i was chilling with my friend and a guy pointed a gun in-between my eyes and all collective memories with him were all shown in a fraction of a second
I'm not sure how to feel about that. But then again I realized that I'm probably working for a super villian, but they have really nice benefits so I'm mostly chill.
Connor is completely right in that lighting is the main thing going into games right now. RTX is all about light, for example. Adding modern lighting tech into old games is one of the prime ways to make a game look better. Compare Minecraft when you add a good shader (not texture pack, that's a different thing). The game goes from very simplistic to absolutely stunning. Lighting is incredibly complex to simulate, so it takes up A LOT of processing power. If you're doing proper ray-tracing we're not talking Frames Per Second, we're talking Seconds Per Frame in performance. RTX is supposed to alleviate some of it, but it's not really there yet. Most games will simply "bake" lighting, which means that it simulates the lighting once when you're making the game and then just recreates those exact parameters. So your character blocking the light by standing in a door way, will not affect the lighting. There's been techniques over the years to make baked lighting more realistic, but nothing can beat properly ray-traced scenes.
The thing about salt is you use sea salt water solution, it dries out the wound and flushes out bacteria. Most practically used in cleaning piercing locations. You don't want to use iodized salt because iodine will damage the exposed tissues and cause scarring.
I think Moss is a very good first VR experience for people who don't usually play games. They can sit down so there's little risk of motion sickness or accidents. And it is a cute little puzzle game that gives them the time to look around in VR :D
Congrats boys, you gave so many examples of conditioning that I will be using clips from the podcast for a class activity in the college psychology class I teach.
I dont think the metaverse will ever happen. For a time Netflix was the one and only streaming platform. Did Amazon and Disney just accept that? No, of course not, they tried to make their own streaming platform, which pushed people back to piracy.

As a Biology major currently taking Microbiology, hearing their interpretation of wound disinfection hurts.
Hearing their interpretation of scientific method hurts more 😭
@@strix4614 I think their interpretation is perfectly fine
They are dumb. We know that now. It's scientific.
They were on the right track though
As a biology teacher, who already has his biology degree, I always get hurt when people misrepresent science. But remember, the boiz are not scientists. They haven't used their science education in quite a while. And for the average person, they weren't too bad. I have heard far worse, from far more ignorant people.
Connor has so many good points on so many topics, but his downfall tends to be his inability to articulate them as it happens. They even talked about this before. But he did an amazing job with this podcast. His rant on NFTs, his description of VR, etc; he gave solid analogies.
Mew I thought it was funny when they say "RTX on" talking about a remaster, and then when Connor starts talking about ray tracing, they couldn't think of the name of it.
Not to mention the first third of the episode with science and humanity’s incompetence and inability to be patient or consider the future
i think it depends on how tired
ot tired he is. it happens with me way too often! most of the time i get into discussions near the end of the day, when i'm pooped out of my brain, and just wanna shut down or autopilot, so having to force an argument out of me in that state of mind is..... well it gets rough, and the moment i wake up the next day is an instant facepalm fest!

As someone currently getting my PhD in Molecular & Cellular Biology, I really enjoyed your conversation about science in the beginning! Communicating scientific research to laypeople is suuuuper hard and I'd say one of the biggest challenges to researchers in any field. And since most labs and companies are at least partly funded, if not entirely funded, by the government, I can see the hesitancy to believe any data presented. A lot of government sponsored ideas have cost a lot of lives and trust, but most academic labs have nothing to do with political ideologies.
YES! I loved the way Connor described science and how it actually works. There's no proving anything, there is just removing doubt as much as possible. That's why we use terms like statistically significant, strong correlation, etc. But people don't get that science isn't 100% all the time, and that's the beauty of it! There's always more to learn or improve upon!
That's why we need to have some transparency in funding
@@juhel5531 I can only speak for biology funding in the US, but while track record is taken into account while awarding grants, I think significance and innovation are weighted more highly. But I do agree with your first part, if only I could include memes in my thesis 😋
@@kayleeni24689 You're working on it currently?
Most people were educated in a way that propose science as a concrete understanding of the universe, so the way of thinking amongst general public that science equal truth, and the rebellious attempt to discard science both emerges quite naturally.
Also despite most scientists having no political interest, it dosen't mean it can't be influenced, like how tobacco company hire researchers to publish favorable reports, or how Soviet government for unknown reasons forbaded the research of genetics, to see what's credible one must look at how a particular research is done, but that's out of the range of competancy of the general public and the gatekeeping work have to be relied on scientific community, which cause the blackbox thing.
On a side note, my personal experience on Physics tells me that getting funding is still a somewhat marketing thing, most research are not that groundbreaking and the significance might vary over time, and its common to see people competing on the same topic, so to convince your sponsors that its worth the money you have to make your proposal very convincing and attractive, surely its still base on the truth of nature of the study, but you have to put effort into emphasising how important it is, which often resulted in an overstatement of your importance. And there are also hacks to go around the system for resources, one of my professors publish a lot of paper on IEEE journel, like 40-50 a year in a three year row, he wasn't the major author for most of the time and the amount of significant contribution are not that different from other reseachers in my uni, but due to his publication output he got promoted very quickly from post-doc researcher to professor, which of course also granted him much more oppotunity and resources, on the other hand one of the post doc researchers in my uni was doing niche research on low dimensional quantum systems, his publications are mostly in Nature but only has publication once or twice a year, he has done a few very significant research in the past few years, but he go promoted very slowly despite all the success.
As someone who keeps tarantulas Joey's narration "I just got brand new tarantula, this thing could kill me in an instance, but GOD she is a beauty" is really on point
Ok. But why? I'm curious what possesses people to keep animals that can accidentally kill them.
Like a dog can kill you... but trust and believe it would be on purpose and a fight you could win.
A big pit bull can take down a pack of coyotes alone and easily kill a human. The strongest breed of dogs in the world can kill a lion in a fight. The reason dogs are kept with little fear of danger is because they are domesticated to people(to the point of developing human like facial twitch muscles) Deadly insects on the other hand never really makes for a good pet or companion.
@@clydex7887 except... the reason a dog can beat a lion is not the reason they can beat a human.
And yes, the strongest dogs will beat a human most times, but there's a chance. And even those I'd ask why people choose to own those.
@@hinoakuma6386 "killing in an instance" is a little over exaggerated, unless someone is alllergic mostly even if it bites with venom (which is rare) it will cause just swelling in that area. Also tarantural are not really meant to be taken on hand, they are more like fishes, just to observe them

Hell yea been playing sence the beginning and its nice to hear 👂
Me who got her degree in zoology and getting a PhD in Entomology listening to this intro: 😳
Also, on a more serious note, it is pretty common to have depression in academia and animal research because all the bullshit and bureaucracy you have to go through to get the funding to research what you want
My kiddo really wants to be an entomologist!
And those who work at shelters. They have to deal with fanatics who think kill shelters are the absolute worst without really thinking through who the hell has funding for sheltering the millions of abandoned pets just here in the U.S. Are they going to contribute enough money to make every shelter a no-kill shelter? No? Shut the hell up, then 🙄.
Also, dark side of a no-kill shelter: It means they have to turn away animals that might need serious care because they're stretched to capacity. Anyone else comes in...and someone will need to die to accomodate them. And workers who work at "kill shelters" often suffer deeply emotionally and mentally for it. There's the euthanasia, the people bitching that they're not doing enough for the animals, the animals that they are working their asses off to save...and then they lose them. It's a lot. "Compassion fatigue" ends up happening to a lot of shelter workers where their desire to help as much as they can but are bombarded with negativity ends up causing emotional trauma and many quit. So, now these animals have less people available to help them.
This pairs into neutering as well and those who espouse flawed logic about how all animals want to have offspring and "How would you like it if someone neutered you?" Humans don't go into heat. We have fertile periods and sex drives, but not a strong compulsion that we must heed and procreate. Because dogs and cats, as the biggest examples in shelters, do have reproductive drives that are almost never ignored and they reproduce with multiples, it creates a lot of animals very quickly. Humans usually only have one child, with anything more being outside of the norm. It's not common for a cat or dog to only have one puppy or kitten. And not only that, with many breeds, the more times they get pregnant, the bigger their litters. Ever seen a RUclips channel that brags about breeding dogs? Ever wonder how their litters are often so big? That's why. And no, not all of those puppies will be kept by the owners who initially buy them. And that's just breeders, imagine this happening to stray animals. The number is astronomical. Spaying and neutering is a must to keep some sembelance of control on the number.
Cats do alright living out on the street but there's the argument to make about them decimating wildlife with their hunting, spreading disease, and their much shorter life spans than indoor cats. Dogs...become dangerous when they're allowed to become feral, as they often will form packs that attack humans. And for both, rabies becomes more likely. Dogs also have a closer affinity with humans and have been bred to be pets. They're used to being provided for. I say this as there are some who feel all pets should be left to roam free and that's just not realistic. I've never seen a city with a large stray animal population where the city and animals looked well taken care of.
So, you have all of these ideologies based on emotion and opinions, not fact, being hurled at shelter workers and many just end up having enough. They quit the jobs they thought they loved. Or they check out on life. We lose some amazing, loving souls because of it.
When Joey said he's never met a depressed person who works with animals, shelter workers likely would agree to disagree. Hannah, from the channel Kitten Lady, has a great video that is much more polite than my language that she did a few months ago on the burnout of shelter workers and how fanatics and ignorance is pushing workers away.
@@thunderpup7899 I'd say support your kid! There's tons of job opportunities for entomology because it's such a practical science. And it's always good to see a parent not freaking out about their kid being into bugs 😅
I'm in highschool rn and I'm planing on getting zoology as a career, any thing I should look out for?
@@bulwark2656 I would definitely say look out for schools with good research programs and a wide variety of animal related classes. So NOT school with just a general biology degree and only a handful of zoology courses. Schools that have zoology, animal biology, wildlife conservation, evolutionary biology, they're all very analogous degrees. I went to UC Davis which actually had all of those degrees!
Once you get to a university, look up the faculty of your department and find a professor whose research interests you. Professors will have their research interests and publications on the faculty listings and most even have websites nowadays! You don't even need to know the professor. A lot of times, they're looking for undergrads to help out anyway, so just send them an email talking about what you like about their research and ask to join their lab. That's what I did with my lab and by the time I graduated, I had a senior thesis and published my research!
And if you join a lab and you don't really like it, don't be afraid to move to a different lab! College is supposed to be a time where you figure out what you want to do! I started off in an avian lab and I realized I really didn't like working with domesticated animals so i moved to a lab that worked with my school's entomology museum and I've been in love ever since! Hope that helps 💕
Also scholarships, apply to scholarships!! Even in your senior year of hs! I can't stress this enough. There are so many scholarships available to students and lot of people just don't know about them.
Salt does kill bacteria, so does alcohol or boiling water. Problem of all this stuff is, it damages the open tissue as well and therefore will most of the time delay healing. Just use a modern anti-septic which usually doesn't even sting and is much more effective.

I thought I was stupid for not understanding the appeal of getting recipes of AI generated JPEGS. Turns out NFT is just beyond stupid and scummy. It's high fashion, but digital. Sth for rich ppl to jerk eachother off in self implemented isolation from us peasants.
Many superstitions are rooted in historic facts, for example: A broken mirror will bring 7 years of bad luck. Thats because historically mirrors were very expensive (the reflectiveness generated with silver on glass), so if you broke one it could take years to save up for a new one.
I just wanna say, that I really like these cards that appear on screen responding the question that the boys raise in the podcast
Yeah they're helpful.
I love and hate how Connor has a great understanding of human psyche and cultural phenomena, but because sometimes he can't convey the point well enough in words, all the meaning is missed by Joey and Garnt
The saddest part of being Monke
It's like the meme where it goes like:
How i think: profound shit
How i speal what i think: ☠️
I mean from their conversation, it shows that he doesn't. He's the one who was saying homebrew remedies were "superstitions", while it's almost the opposite. The homebrew remedies are based on experimenting and science, like Garnt said, rubbing salt on a wound does actually help disinfect it, vitamin C helps your immune system fight of flues, rubbing wasabi on wounds has a positive effect cause it fights of bacteria and so on. It's like the 100 stories in Dr. Stone, something humans figured out A LONG TIME AGO, and just passed it to their offspring through fun stories and riddles and shit. So Connor was 100% wrong in everything in those discussions, even though he did portray his feelings pretty well.
@@kllrnooooova lol true
he's really grasping for words, and in my head I totally get what he's saying and I'm like "you're almost there, this is the word you're looking for" but he never gets there lol
OMG Connor fucking nailed the science argument in a way I hadn't ever thought of before. To summarize, "Science isn't about what is true, it's confirming what is wrong."
I mean, that's the paradigm of falsification that all modern science builds upon. No theory is true, they are only not yet proven wrong thus the best we have.
You can read more on that if you look into Karl Popper who was a figurehead of that paradigm shift.
Not really. That's just logic (process of elimination).
Science is about understanding the world through forming a rigid, educated guess to explain a phenomenon, then seeing if that guess holds up in practical experiments involving that phenomenon. Science is woefully inadequate in a lot of human related things because of that. Humans change, therefore much of sociology/psychology can become rapidly useless as societies change. Statistical based sciences are the LOWEST form of science, as they are easy to manipulate and can be used to obfuscate the understanding of a phenomenon, another thing sociology and psychology suffer from. That's why both of them have a replication crisis every generation or two, as the BS eventually gets challenged.
If it's not a hard science, I can guarantee you that MOST papers in that area are wrong about at least one thing they say, and there's no easy way to tell what. This is why authoritative science-ism must always be challenged. Science is not about what has most evidence, it's about what is most accurate. And that means even one person could have it more right than the consensus, yet be silenced by consensus. As has happened over and over again in science communities.
Science will be the basis on which all governments will cement their authority, from here on in. It is the best way to achieve classical fascism.

@@thehaloofthesun7174 oh cool
Nah not necessarily. That sounds like something r/atheist would unironically say. A lot of the time, science advances OUT OF NECESSITY. Whether it’s disease, war, or just improving daily life routines, science will advance.
Nespresso machines came out because French presses are time consuming as fuck and the process needed to be improved. Vaccines in general as a response to diseases and plagues. Seatbelts because cars as a response to cars going faster and faster as time goes on. The fucking atom bomb to end ww2. List goes on

As a former smoker, it's not a matter of people not deciding to quit after finding out that it's dangerous. Rather than that, most smokers do try to, often on several occasions, but they are just not able to, because quitting is an incredibly difficult thing to do when your body's genuinely addicted to it. I do think that everyone do have it in them to quit, but it might take a while before they get there.
This episode has one of the best comment sections from all of the trash taste episodes so far. So many interesting topics and things are discussed, it just made me really fascinated
26:00 Honey is actually antibacterial, and it has a numbing effect. If you take it while you have a sore throat it will kill some of the bacteria lessening the effect while also numbing your throat to the pain. You can also get honey eye wash to treat dry eye and conjunctivitis. Manuka honey is made from a flower that is particularly nutrient rich improving the effect of honey on your body.
Yeah, I feel like Connor is dismissing some of these things way too confidently. Manuka honey is refined into medical grade honey, which is used in wound dressings and medicine by actual hospitals, due to its anti-microbial properties. Vitamin C (and plenty of other vitamins/minerals) are known to "improve" the immune system etc., because they are actually vital for various functions of the body. It's very possible and actually common to have vitamin deficiencies and therefore also have a weakened immune system, so it is incomparable to just drinking water. You wouldnt really know if youre getting enough vitamin c in your diet, but dehydration is very easily recognized.
Homeostasis is important, also ancient Egypt used to use honey as an antiseptic
I also like darker coloured honey, it tastes better ^_^
I'm not sure I buy this. Sounds like the kind of thing "crunchy" companies try and sell you. Usually the case is it's either completely false, and or only partially true. I know manuka honey is antibacterial, but if it were really all that effective, hospitals would be using it. All I'm saying is I doubt that's the whole story. Also the paper I DID find did not look very good. Usually when it says in the sidebar "share on facebook/twitter" that's a red flag
@@Steve-xo5pq
Raw honey has these antimicrobial and preservative properties, and can also work to reduce hay fever symptoms.
However, the majority of supermarket honey has been pasteurised and blended to produce a consistent flavour across batches. This gets rid of all of the health benefits.
As for Manuka, it has a high mgo content which is what makes it good for you, however it's like olive oil in which there's a massive counterfeit market and false labelling. So you can only really get the benefits if you buy direct from a local beekeeper.
@@Steve-xo5pq RUclips deleted my comment saying they deleted my comment lol. Google this: Honey: its medicinal property and antibacterial activity

There was a king who feared being poisoned, so he took small amount of poisons for a long time. He did get to the point where no poison he found could actually kill him. Later, when he tried to kill himself he couldn't poison himself so he asked a friend to kill him with a knife.
Blue from OTV: He lived the way he died, not by poison
btw the kings name was Mithridates and he was killed by a sword not a knife

I love Garnts 'it's a lot harder for people to unlearn stuff than to learn stuff' theory. It's so true. Once you think you know something it's almost impossible to unlearn or replace it with new, more accurate knowledge. And you can't fill a glas that's already full... that's the reason there are so many conflicts all around the world.
I believe the term for that called Confirmation Bias. It's why antivaxxers won't accept any real science because they can always find some fraud to reinforce their beliefs. It's easier for people to find the one thing that confirms what they know rather than accept that they're wrong

The effect of salt on wounds can be explained by osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water from a less dense environment to a more dense environment, through a semi-permeable membrane. Salt water vacuums the water from the cells with low salt density and causing bacteria to dehydrate and die.
5:06 I recall hearing about how some people inject themselves with snake venom to build up a resistance to it over time, I believe that their blood is studied to make anti venom for people without an immunity
Yes and no,
Antivenom is traditionally made by collecting venom from the relevant animal and injecting small amounts of it into a domestic animal(micro dosing). The antibodies that form are then collected from the domestic animal's blood and purified. Versions are available for spider bites, snake bites, fish stings, and scorpion stings.
Think of anti venom kinda like a blood transfusion(except minus the blood) from another mammal who has been intentionally dosed with venom. I am sure you could do it on a human also but I don’t think they do usually.
Yeah, snake handlers in India I think deliberately get bitten by the snakes they handle to build immunity. They actually inject venom into horses to make antivenom. Veritasium recently made a video on this.
For cuts or self biting incidents within the mouth, my grandmother taught me to use lime, baking soda, and salt(preferably more natural made than factory process), mix them ingredients to make a paste that will painfully work to seal the wound in the mouth. This aslo works on mouth ulcers as well.
interesting....we make something similar but with lemons instead, it helps cut through fat (if you ate a lot of fatty food and makes you sick),lactose (if you're intolerant) and cures some kinds of food poisoning...
it also tastes pretty good
As an evolutionary biologist, I loved the science conversation at the beginning. Glad to see the boys have an accurate idea of what science is all about
As a geophysics student, Joey's comment on scientists not wanting to move forward with new ideas had me internally screaming about plate tectonics.
@@innocentparticipant1172 what about plate tectonics?
Physicist here, and I agree. It was a really nuanced take.
@@hadoking3636 there were many scientists who disregarded/denied plate tectonics as a valid theory. It'd be hard to find someone today who disagrees with plate tectonics, but this revolution took place just like 60 years ago. The whole segment on the evolution of science just reminded me of this.
@@innocentparticipant1172 Ah, that's interesting!
I was a “First Responder” at work and was required to take classes every year year that my company paid for. It was a whole day of various institutions and information. One of the instructors for a “treat” would set up an area and bring his cobra. (I kid you not) His set up was OPEN ENDED meaning if he’d done a serious misstep or had a heart attack the snake could have easily escaped. Aggressive little bugger, too. The snake, not Larry. He also told us a story about one of his rattlesnakes getting out and he finally discovered the mesh on the cage had a small slit and the snake was using it to escape. You couldn’t pay me to visit his house.
amazing creature
As somewhat of a zoologist myself, I can tell you bullet ants actually have a stinger, hence where the venom and pain comes from and not being bitten :D
Also human saliva is generally good for wounds, hence the term licking your wounds!
Also oranges are generally seen as good to eat because of their use in staving off conditions like scurvy, they provide a lot of essential vitamins preventing long term disease.
Well don't animals lick their wounds to clean them up? Just seems like that makes more sense than a person licking themselves lol
@@victorianicholls3991 I mean we are all animals. Yeah removes debris and helps kill bacteria and heal the wound. Wasn't saying people need to do it though :)
@@GalvanisedRed Lol fair enough
Actually humans shouldn't lick their own wounds, human mouths have some of the worst bacteria for that. While saliva does help for all animals (humans included), because of the large amount of "bad" bacteria in the mouth of humans that is pretty dangerous.
That is also the reason why you should immediately get medical attention or even go to an hospital, when you get bitten by another human if it punctures the skin.
@@Ghost777Reaper I could imagine that being an issue if you have prior health conditions but generally mouth bacteria aren't the most virulent. I'd also argue it's better than leaving dirt and debris in the wound. However, obviously as humans we can just wash a wound and put on a plaster but you know we are animals and naturally don't have hospitals etc.

Always appreciating the fact checking by the editorial staff. Some other popular podcasts and shows often times tend to neglect this measure by spreading myths and weird if not even wrong rumors around unintentionally in the flow of their chitchat, which can have a subtle but harmful impact for leaving the room for misinformation concerning their reach. Mudan's commentary often helped to get doubts and speculations regarding sensitive topics out of the way quickly, which contributes to the high overall quality of the TrashTaste epiodes. 👍
Yeah, it's a welcome thing they do this fact check, and not sounding like hypocrites talking about so many fake stuff, and then spreading those same stuff unknowingly.
Problem is, you don’t get the fact checking when listening to the podcast. I don’t mind people saying incorrect stuff, but when they are simultaneously judging others for not being scientific, it’s a bit hypocritical.
I’m a nutritional science major and it was so much fun hearing them talk about Vitamine C. Garnt should definitely look up the history of vitamine C and the immense amount of research conducted on it. The short version is that Vit C doesn’t do much for colds but Zinc has proven to help shorten colds by just a little bit. At the end of the day, one can’t cure a viral disease like a cold or a flu, you can only treat/alleviate the symptoms!
Been just binging old TT episodes while working over the summer, and cool to see that having listened to them over the whole summer I only made it like 60% of the way
Also with this much content, obviously cant remember everything they have talked about so it's neat sometimes having stuff come up that makes me go like "oh THIS was where that take originated
Cheers bois, here's to many more years of Trash Taste!
Salt can certainly kill bacteria, thing is it will also kill your own cells. A high concentration of salt would just drive the solvent to the party with more salt by osmosis, which can effectively dehydrate cells. Killing them. Garnt is not so far off with how preservation by salt works.
I thought the entire point of salt for preservatuon was that it absorbs all the moisture and thus creates an environment where it is hard/not possible for bacteria to either propogate or live.
@@theshyboy it will literally suck the water out of the bacterial/human cell and destroy it, through osmotic pressure. That's why it hurts so much when you get water in your nose, the cells are actually dying from the salt concentration difference (osmotic pressure) of the water compared to the insides of the cells
@@theshyboy yeah it will be hard for some bacteria but it also hurts you
It can be a temporary disinfectant if nothing else is available. Like if ur lost in the woods or in a post apocalyptic world and have no first aid. Removing the salt with water after using the salt to clean ur wound would be the right to do.
You dont leave it on, that would make things worse.
@@Naldito15 soap is not that hard to find and i would say more common than salt
Ed. Also in all the emergency aid/first response courses and talks I've been to i never heard anyone advice the use of salt is better to use just plain water if there's nothing else wich is a very hard scenario
Listening to the story of the guy who had a heart attack and died during a brain scan made me think, what if it were routine to ask death row individuals if they would consent to a brain scan during their euthanization? It’s definitely dark and maybe ethically ambiguous, but it would provide more data on brain activity during death
that could look ok to you but what it would lead to is one by one you cross the line of ethical procedures. And one day it is okay to use war prisoners, then refugees and so on untill it becomes something we can't tame.
Plus, any results you get would be from deathrow inmates who are not representative of the general population.
I have this theory that the greatest way neuroscientist or computer scientists trying to build AIs could fuck us over is by basing their AIs on donated brains... brains belonging to people who decided to submit their bodies and minds to destructive experimentation. I wonder how that self-sacrificial psychology would influence their thought processes.
At any rate, I wouldn't consider such an AI's reasoning to be any more sound than anyone else.
I have grave concerns about AI development in general. We didn't spend the past century deconstructing the idea of supernatural gods only to develop technological ones.

Insane subversion of the podcast name during the science vs magic section. Genuinely awesome takes and a proper understanding of what science is about, especially from Connor. And, regarding Joey's point that science is often refuted for petty reasons, Einstein's theories of relativity were initially dismissed by many big names within the scientific community at the time simply because Einstein's theories were radically different from the accepted theories at the time, and because Einstein was from Jewish heritage. Genuinely great discussion guys!!
There's a great story that took place in around early 1900's where the trend was to develop a mathematical theory for science to refer to in science papers. "unified theory" became a kind of buzz word, with theoretical physics becoming a big institutional field emerging in academics. If you were the person who came up with a theory that could "unify" all the different fields in one set of mathematics, you'd be a god. And then a jewish guy who's in love with his sister writes a paper from his patent clerk office about running on beams of light, and while I think his way of explaining physics in simple metaphor was beautiful, people at the time were livid, furious, and like honestly upset.
That was the reaction at least, I think they were just projecting negativity. We would go on to dissect this mans brain, and find absurdly healthy connections between different parts of the brain (glial cells), he was definitely brilliant.
It was a very toxic time culturally speaking due the proximity of TWO world wars. He really did come up with a clever way of unifying the different fundamental principles through relativity, his first publication changed the world. Without that understanding of the interaction between energy and matter, humans at the time couldn't have hoped to even dream the idea of an atomic bomb. It would take a lot of brilliant minds, but the foundation starts there, with relativity.
einstein, himself, did refute the idea of quantum physics too. A lot of scientists can get very stuck on how they view the world, and forget the basics which is that science is a tool that helps us understand the world around us, and as the tools and the user have a wider range of understanding, we get to see even more shit surrounding us.
Also the whole debacle with heliocentricity.

This has to be the episode where Connor has the most good takes and the right information.
Hey Joey, looks like your grandma was right. From google (I didn't go deep looking for sources): The pungent ingredient in wasabi that causes the nasal burning sensation is allyl isothiocyanate, a chemical also found in mustard and horseradish. And also from google: Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), a natural compound in plants belonging to the family Cruciferae, has been shown to have strong antimicrobial activity in liquid media as well as in its vapor form.
All things that burn, purify. If it's literally burning your flesh, it's like an apocalypse at the microbial scale. The trick is not to damage your own cells too much in the process of purifying your cut.
Grandma is so wise. :) Yes, I was going to say that herbs and things found in nature do have medicinal benefits. It does not have to be made in a lab by a pharmaceutical company. Known across cultures since the dawn of time. Also, Western OTC and prescription drugs are often derived from something in nature.
Wasabi is more like paste right, unless I've just never seen liquid/vapor wasabi? And does the allyl isothiocyanate content of wasabi enough to even have an effect? Like how (drinking) alcohol can be used to clean a wound but only in certain higher concentrations, like you wouldn't pour beer on a wound right even tho that still has alcohol in it. Lastly, do any of the other components in wasabi not cause complications/infections that it makes the antimicrobial property kinda moot? I hate to be that guy but yeah just like connor said, just because that 1% that it might work doesn't make it viable. I'll get back if I find some answers to my own questions.
@@idiosyncrasy7703 Wasabi is made by taking Japanese Horseradish and basically grating it. Sometimes they grind it down to a fine paste, mix it with water, etc. Fresh grated Wasabi probably doesn't have any bacteria or viruses you might introduce by putting it on a cut. Not sure about store bought.
Given that, it can only help if it has any allyl isothiocyanate content. Even if that means just killing very few microbes. So long as putting the Wasabi on the cut isn't itself poisonous, no reason it would hurt you. Of course, that's assuming you don't leave it on too long.
You would probably want to use actual hydrogen peroxide, either way. More potent.
@@thehaloofthesun7174 I guess it is better than nothing, if we look at it that way. But I've also read somewhere during my little endeavor that there are even "fake" wasabi that might not have the same components as the one we are discussing. I haven't looked into this as much so please take it with a grain of salt. But in which case you'd even be gambling if the wasabi you have at hand is the real deal. In any case, it is fascinating to discover such things just from an anime podcast, surely didn't expect that I'd be looking up scientific papers when I'm supposed to be relaxing from university. Lmao
27:19 There is always a group in medical studies that receives a placebo, it is a very real and documented medical effect.
Connor's reality checks are mostly why I tend to consciously avoid True Crime stories. I do consume very occasionally when my mind is in a weird place - and even then I choose very specific topics or types of crimes, but I try to not do it when I want to keep my day stable.

Wasn't expecting Connor to have the most academically accurate view on what science is
he had expressed this kind of view in previous episodes. I like where his head at but how he approaches it has been really painful to watch many times. Because it always seems like he is dismissing his friends experiences'. i am sure that's now what he is trying to do but it does come off like that.
Monke smart
@@eleonarcrimson858 aaannndddd he's back to dismissing his friends opinion. I'm kidding tho but slightly not. I'm sure he doesn't think what he says through a lot and has clear biases towards science so dismisses belief. I kind of have the same biases too so prob do the same to my parents
He obviously despises religious dogma and considering how bluntly he shows it in these episodes, I imagine in private he expresses it even more freely. Try not reading into it too much; their friendship is not gonna break from a _podcast topic_ recorded three weeks ago of all things lmao.
And then he goes and calls scientifically backed advice superstitious lol
I think the funniest thing about the meta verse is that they’re just blatantly ripping off VRchat (released 2017) very, very poorly like Connor said and thinking that everyone will just jump in
I remember my dad like mentioning the meta verse to me the first time and my response was so what MMORPG been doing for decades? Ya no way I'm hell Facebook going to make a good one lol.
and more importantly Sony already tried something like what they are doing back in 2007 called Playstation home and it floped

i think eventually every one who feels weird watching shit, will stop. the way Garnt is with live leak, people will hopefully eventually be about true crime. i get it's entertaining but it's clearly better to not endorse it.
True crime has been around since media. It's not a new phenomena at all, especially from 1800s on. Jack the Ripper was a gigantic story in it's day, as popular as it gets.
@@OrbObserver Yeah. Notice how back then there were only a handful “true crime” stories. Now there is a whole market dedicated to trying to find every detail about any murder case and sharing it like it’s a book club.
Not saying people who watch it are bad people, but I just think it’s weird to say that this kind of market has been around, when back then only Ted Bundy or Jack the Ripper were “the” true crime topics.
@@OrbObserver I don't think this person meant it was new in any sort of way. It's just that now content like youtube documentaries or videos have pushed lesser known stories/crimes because of shit like tiktok or youtube true crime channels.
@@andrew_h6 No dude, there just wasn't an internet. There was a whole industry of true crime novels, newspaper stories, and magazines for people who wanted to keep up on it. There were literally true crime book clubs. The bank robbers and outlaws of late 1800s to early 1900s were followed like superheroes. It's not more common now it's just easier to distribute. America's Most Wanted was among the highest ratings of any show when they were airing. It's not new, it's not weird, this is just what people want to consume and you don't have to participate or cast a moral judgment.
True crime is particularly perpetrated against women and is particularly popular with women.
It's also in a way an education tool, how did it happen, why did it happen, what might you do to avoid it etc.
If you don't like it, don't consume it, it's not going anywhere.
Congrats boys on finally getting sponsored by chris broads favourite game, "League raid of shadows"
Have to agree with their philosophy of science talk...
Go back 100-200 years ago, becoming an expert or even a polymath was infinitely easier than now. Specialisation is essential nowadays, and even scientists find themselves relying on experts in other scientific fields for answers. The fact that some people believe they can beat experts in their own field by just reading a few Facebook articles (or the like) shows how deep anti-intellectualism has gone nowadays.
Misinformation campaigns spread like wildfire as they create exciting, black and white, easy to understand answers. Science simply cannot reproduce that excitement, as reality is often unintuitive and complicated.
most of this is the fault of the scientfic community for being gated of for the elitist untill recent times. so ofc when the internet becomes a common commodity, people use it to satsify their curiosity and lack of understanding which can lead to misinformation.
@@eleonarcrimson858 apparently, needing proper education is gate-keeping
@@verchiel_8295 I think he tried to say that only rich and influential people were heard in earlier times
@@verchiel_8295 ??
@@eleonarcrimson858 perhaps i misunderstood. i thought by "scientific community" u meant scientists, experts, and the like. but i guess u meant that only people with higher status were allowed to read up on scientific journals and researches?
in that case, i do agree with your sentiment. even now, research papers are locked behind a paywall, so it's harder to read the actual source of information.
One of the wives tales my mom told me was going outside with wet hair makes you sick, stretching after eating can kill rip your stomach, making faces can get stuck that way looking back it was just to make me behave
Bro my mom told me the same lmao
Funny thing is in specific cases the myths do have some truth, bacteria grows in wet places so theoretically having wet hair for a long time could grow bacteria and get you sick but highly unlikely to happen, the stomach one is way more unrealistic like you would need to stretch your actual organ past it’s size limits by filling it up so much so that one is very nonsensical, the last one is also pushing it but theoretically you could cause a muscle spasm like for example a Masseter muscle spasm and get lock jaw but there is lots of variables to that like dehydration and calcium and chronic muscle problems and maybe it’s psychosomatic etc. but usually these wives tales and folktales and myths are just misunderstandings or oversimplifications of specific problems or cases.
And sometimes these are more metaphorical and related to cultural and social issues of the time.
And sometimes they are just to make children behave
The "Opening an umbrella indoors is bad luck" thing came from victorian era, and it was said because umbrellas where supper sharp and pointy and you may peck someone eye out with it.
Stephanie Soo is a Mukbang RUclipsr that talks about True Crime
The science talk was so refreshing to hear. As someone who graduated with a biochemistry degree in the middle of the pandemic in America, so many people in my general vicinity have lost touch with what science is supposed to be due to it being so politicized. Like yes science is wrong a lot! that's the point! that's why we learn the scientific theory in high school 😅
That's so good to hear. I grew up understanding that science is constant research and trying to find the truth. At some point, we all forgot about that.
And I think people forget what a thesis is, it’s like a trial and error in some way right?
bUtT mEeR wRiGhTs
In my country at least, most of the politicians have humanities degrees yet talk about science like they know what they’re talking about. I’m not even remotely surprised that people forget that science is built on doubt.
@@sushijou lol and they teach us this in school
For the true crime part of this chat. I agree that some documentaries are overdone and glamorized but women have fears that men can't understand and watching/listening to true crime makes us feel less alone. Our fears are validated and we can learn how to protect ourselves by being more aware of risks, red flags and our surroundings. It makes me feel more empowered in a weird way. I also like cases that have an ending because I feel like if something happens to me someone will find justice for me. On top of that I believe people should know the stories of others and be aware of other peoples struggles so you can empathize with others around you.
The only old wives' tale regarding medicine I have dealt with was my grandpa thinking a tearduct inflamation was curable by applying a heated wooden spoon end to it. Luckily, my ass was freaked out by the idea of having charred-hot wood near my fucking eyeball that I absolutely refused and we settled on applying boiled water to it with a paper towel. For what it's worth, it couldn't hurt since it cooled way down before reaching my eye and it was sterilized water that I was washing the area with. Helped blood flow, too. So not only did my grandpa have his peace that I was treating it with heat, but I also got spared by what no doubt sounds like medieval torture.
As someone who’s had vr for years metaverse really is looking to be worse vr chat
18:31 In the Philippines its common for elders to put alcohol on wounds. You actually can but only on the sides to clean the wound, not hurt yourself more. It even says external use on the bottle.
I'mm so glad I'm not alone in the whole watching Kitchen Nightmares repeatedly over and over for no real reason while always going "Man I have no time."
On the topic of weird things when being sick: When I was a kid and started to get sick my mom would always cut up an onion into little dice and put it next to my bed on my night stand in a small bowl because it apparently does something so your nose stays free or something idk. Unfortunately, I always ended up eating the whole thing and still getting a cold after ^^
In Asia they believe onion and spring onions can kill bacteria so if you smell it constantly it might kill the bacteria inside you or somi
Hehe!
Please consider inviting a physics, chemistry or medical doctor to the podcast one day, it will be very memorable content

Johnny Sins would be perfect then
I would love it if they like asked insane questions lol
@@yellowcard8100 It would likely fall into the guest's personality and ability to explain things in the way that the bois and us can understand.
@@yellowcard8100 excuse me, is Star Talk a joke to you? Wasn't Carl Sagan a huge icon? Aren't those topics the entire niche of Dr Stone?
Science is lots of fun, and can be top tier entertainment
We need to demistify science and normalize it. Break the taboo, make science cool again.
22:38 here I'm the Balkans they say "Don't whistle in the house, mice will come"
19:50 putting salt stimulates the process of osmosis, where the salt absorbs moisture from the wound
since bacteria grows on moisture, putting salt would on the wound would prevent further infection
but yeah use antiseptic, its better
It was such a great idea for Trash Taste to include a Raid: Shadow Legends Ad as an April Fools joke! 🤣
It would be so much funnier if they said "This episode is sponsored by Apex Raid of Shadows."
FYI, you *can* vaccinate against venom, although thats only by having repeated exposure to it. it was explored while they were inventing antivenom, and its also how we make it (we give horses doses of venom and use their immune cells as antivenom)

Their talk about religion and science reminds me of “In this moment i am euphoric”
1:45:00 I believe this is the availability heuristic, a flaw in our interpretation where what comes quickly to our mind is deemed significant. An example my AP Psych class gave was the fact that if you see a shark attack on the news you believe that they are common because the news put a lot of emphasis on it and it becomes more memorable in your mind, when in reality it's on the news because it's uncommon. So, when we see so so many forms of media that cover murders and horrible acts, when we think of living our own lives those terrible things tend to come to the top of our mind of what could happen to us and we believe that it is more common than it actually is. Sorry if that was a bad explanation, I'm not very good at articulating myself.
In Mexico we have Cinepolis VR, its a movie theater company, and in some special locations they have an empty room , they strap you with a backback, wireless vr and a plastic gun, and you are free to move around the room and its like a shooter game, some draw backs is that it wont let you get near the other people you go in with, if you get within a certain area it starts beeping ans shows you a small map on a corner of your eye to know where to move to avoid it, also does that if you get near the walls, also you cant run, but you can move around! jump, walk, crouch, dodge. and there are even things like elevators in the game, obviously you are just standing in place irl but its very cool! ive only done it once but a friend of mine has done the 4 or 5 simulations they have available
Listening to this intro by Joey was like the Ratatouille meme.

@@animusswtor4822 Oh my god, the nostalgia! I revisited that song recently on my non-Spotify playlist that I mostly stopped growing around 2015, lol.
Is she actually zoologist?
1:22:54 yes Joey VR Zone Shinjuku was a thing that had DragonBall Z, Gundam, Mario Kart, etc experiences but has closed.. I am not sure if they have moved to a new location.. I dont remember a treadmill based VR experience but there was a cycling one where they made the arcade cycling/flying into VR. Was still a fun experience to try VR for the first time
If i remember correctly, in the Tenet tangent (which should be a weekly segment) Garnt was more correct as the characters were there to find the “time machines” they only use the art because they had lock picking tools smuggled into them
The poison conversation reminded me of King Mithridates of Pontus that actually trained his body to be immune to poison and later tried to kill himself with… poison. It worked! He used a knife instead
Well it depends on the Toxin, you can’t become immune to all poisons or venoms by micro dosing yourself, for example arsenic will most definitely kill you once you pass the lethal dose threshold no matter how much you have micro-dosed, also I wouldn’t trust a historical account fully of something like that, they are often heavily embellished.
I highly suggest researching Toxicology if you are interested in this subject, scenes like the one in Zoro for example are misleading and stories often embellish the efficacy of micro dosing toxins. Wether fictionalized or historical accounts.
Lastly it’s highly possible this king you named just didn’t take a lethal dose in the first place.
If you’re aware of the poison used you can look into the likelihood of the story being true or false by seeing the lethal dose and of course the effects on the body, to see how generally survivable it is or not.
Exactly the example I thought of
EVERYBODY PUT YOUR HANDS UP. I blame grant for talking about bradio I can't get it out of my head. Another great episode btw.
The thing about watching murder, is that remember our brains evolved, to always be looking out for threats to our lives. When you are watching a murder or morbid event happen, your brain is analyzing the order of events so that if you get in this situation, you can escape with your head still on your shoulders. Basically what I am trying to say is that our brains find threats, than learn how to deal with them so than you can survive. Sorry for the wall of text have a great day!
Yep, a good example is of how we are so good at spotting snakes in the brush and even have a somewhat instinctual fear of them, as it’s believed our more primate ancestors were prey to larger snakes.
@@VainSick I love it when people back up my claims, hey man have a great day! And your right PBS Eons did a whole video on it.
Yeah but i feel like the more i watch them the more i fear of being a fully grown adult and having to live by myself
I don't know about others, but personally, I feel this way. I don't watch television much these days, but I listen to podcasts and RUclips videos in the background alot, most of it being either trash taste type content, medical content, true crime or just random stuff. I find, each case that I dive into, has helped me be more aware of my surroundings and such. However it has also made me insanely paranoid of near everything😩 but most people in my physical life don't have a care in the world about their surroundings or any threats so I feel it's an ok level of paranoia, given I've been stalked multiple times😅
I get that,especially for women, there were some many times in the podcast they spoke about their friends who watch it for that reason,but that doesn't really address the: becoming desinsetized to shit.
Getting numb to watching videos that make death be a reality show,that interviews and sometimes bothers people who've lost their loved ones,just so they can make entertainment of it.
I get that there are other benefits for it,but still.
(I'm sorry for my terrible English,I'm not a native speaker.)
This man legit went from metaverse to foot fetish in less than a second. Fascinating
The VR discussion in this video is unironically better than most VR channels.
Actually putting your thoughts on the table; what the platform is good at, what it's bad at.
Your life flashing before your eyes happened to me when i was chilling with my friend and a guy pointed a gun in-between my eyes and all collective memories with him were all shown in a fraction of a second
We really live in the lamest dystopia possible💀

Just wait
We're just getting started
I'm not sure how to feel about that.
But then again I realized that I'm probably working for a super villian, but they have really nice benefits so I'm mostly chill.
For better or worse, we live in the best time of history right now.
Connor is completely right in that lighting is the main thing going into games right now. RTX is all about light, for example. Adding modern lighting tech into old games is one of the prime ways to make a game look better. Compare Minecraft when you add a good shader (not texture pack, that's a different thing). The game goes from very simplistic to absolutely stunning.
Lighting is incredibly complex to simulate, so it takes up A LOT of processing power. If you're doing proper ray-tracing we're not talking Frames Per Second, we're talking Seconds Per Frame in performance. RTX is supposed to alleviate some of it, but it's not really there yet.
Most games will simply "bake" lighting, which means that it simulates the lighting once when you're making the game and then just recreates those exact parameters. So your character blocking the light by standing in a door way, will not affect the lighting. There's been techniques over the years to make baked lighting more realistic, but nothing can beat properly ray-traced scenes.
The thing about salt is you use sea salt water solution, it dries out the wound and flushes out bacteria. Most practically used in cleaning piercing locations.
You don't want to use iodized salt because iodine will damage the exposed tissues and cause scarring.
5 years ago today, I made this channel and Trash Taste is by far the best channel that I've subscribed to since.
I read a book where I learned pirates had scurvy from lack of Vitamin C. So I always ate oranges from then on
When you're so early, the boys are still being held hostage by Meilyne.
I think Moss is a very good first VR experience for people who don't usually play games.
They can sit down so there's little risk of motion sickness or accidents. And it is a cute little puzzle game that gives them the time to look around in VR :D
Congrats boys, you gave so many examples of conditioning that I will be using clips from the podcast for a class activity in the college psychology class I teach.
The thing about Metaverse, they need to nail this 3 thing.
1) good virtual world
2) cheap & working headset
3) low internet speed connection
I dont think the metaverse will ever happen. For a time Netflix was the one and only streaming platform. Did Amazon and Disney just accept that? No, of course not, they tried to make their own streaming platform, which pushed people back to piracy.
Hahahahahah, HAHAHAHAHAHA
