Ginger my friend. My partner is a clinical mental health therapist. I am a strong advocate for therapy. Better health unfortunately harvests user data and sells it to bidders which is so extremly unethical. Just fyi.
Fr?
@@mikelisavinacco2163yeap
@@mikelisavinacco2163 yes fr. Same story with opera gx
@mikelisavinacco2163 yes unless theve changed their practices they way they harvested client data seemed. "Ethically ambiguous" is how I'd put it.
the data stuff is horrible but it's nowhere near the worst thing about them imo. i rarely see anyone talking about the other stuff though. i would recommend looking into it more. mickey atkins has a few videos about it, and that's probably a good place to start
very interesting painting you have in the background gingerpale

Thanks I made it myself :) it’s me and u and our other friend
Who is the other f-friend? I’m scared for everyone now
@@Bagelman-3 -You should be.-
I swear, he's just daring teachers to show this in class.
One time I tried to get my teacher to pull up one of his vids
With a segment about mental health, i don't think so...
Definitely

GingerPale, that painting in the background is really piquing my curiosity!

@@DannyTlaseca-mn7lfYou'll understand when you're older
Fun fact about betterhelp
mrwhostheboss made a video about them talking that they actually do sell their patients information to 3rd party companies
yes i was just about to comment that
I am just gonna reply again to push this up in the comments
I didn’t want to be the one to break the news so I’m glad someone did
even MORE reason to write them off as suss.
Well youTube is my Therapy you guys are the best even if we fight over silly stuff.
just a quick FYI: Better help is a pretty bad company. They pay their therapists a lot less than they would get from regular sessions and they've also had a shady rep in the past
Signal boost. I've heard some bad things about betterhelp, and I'm sure if GingerPale knew, he wouldn't have taken the sponsorship
(editing to clarify: they've sold very sensitive personal mental health information to massive advertising companies and hire therapists that don't care about the patients -- or rather, they don't vet their therapists to make sure they're decent at their jobs. Stuff like this could turn someone off talking to therapists forever.)
YES!! they're so infamously bad omg
This!!
Yeah, they apparently sell their patients information
Don’t forget they were also caught and fined by the FTC for selling data to third parties like Facebook. A mental health service, selling patient data. Just gross.
“Boy it’s a bad day to be an empath.” Is such an under appreciated line
4:49 bro flipped us off in the most innocent way possible
Just noticed that 😂
Your brain isn’t piloting your meat suit. You are the brain. You’re a little lump of flesh piloting a bone mech with meat armor.
i like this, i like the bone mech meat armor idea
its generally perceived that you as an entity are not the brain, but rather you exist within it. like a code program on a computer.
its mind, brain, then body.
Bone inner frame and meat armor...
Too much gunpla.
Well not entirely id say. The „i“ can only exist thx to the brain but the brain itself functions so differently from unconscious and conscious there’s no way the thing we perceive as ourselves is the brain
@@aidenaune7008 so... you are a little tiny dude that isn't even really there that controls a lump of... stuff that controls the bone mech with meat armor?
I hate it when I trip and end up playing some indoor soccer
yoo it's jessie jokes

Happens all the time smh
Jesse is a joke.
Yo jesse!
I learned a thing. Thanks Gingey
first
brain kaboom
what thing did you learn
@@candycoatedroxx a thing
The thing about the koalas not recognizing food if the leaves fall off, the tree is actually not true. If koalas eat leaves that aren't at their peak nutrition, they can starve to death. So they've learned to avoid eating discolored leaves or leaves that have fallen off the vine, even if it's only by a few seconds
"Yeah, therapy is pretty great. Which is why I'm going to get sponsored by a scam service that only serves to make an already distrusted and underused field of health look even more like a sham!"
buh buh buh
lol don’t blame ginger for this, he prob didn’t kniw
@@Aiko_DTI_Playeragreed
5:57 is misinformation, koalas actively avoid eating eucalyptus of the tree due to fallen leaves usually having less nutrition.
with that chicken breast-lookin brain, i don't think they exactly have the knowledge or concern for their diets nutritional values
But i'll look it up :)
Wouldn't be a matter of thought, rather a pattern of behavior that happened to prove beneficial enough to increase survival. Could be those who are too dumb to understand ground twigs spent less time there and thus avoided more predators. Could be those who spent less time eating null leaves were more healthy and attractive come reproduction time.
@@GingerPale Octopuses are famously very intelligent, yet their brains are smooth.
Then again, most of their body's brain power are actually in their arms, and their arms operate fairly autonomously.
Though some very smart bird also have smooth brains.
However, lissencephaly(Basically kids born with parts of their brains smooth) is a disability for a reason.
So uhh, the brain is complicated I guess.
@@GingerPaledid ya look it up?
@@edwinhuang9244To be fair, exceptions prove the rule. Our dear cephalopods are an especially abnormal branch of nature.
This makes the insult "smooth brain" even better. It's scientifically accurate as well as insulting
It makes big brain a worse sentence to use too :D
Also, if you're looking for scientifically accurate insults, lately i started using "you have less chromosomes than a potato"
It...always was. That was the point of the insult.
SMOOTHBRAINNNNNN
y do i like saying that
Yes
@@unicornpupart because you have one!
Other brain myths (The DLC):
- Brain is made by neurons : Partly true, but theres also a whole lot of other types of cells including ones dedicated to immune response and other that just... exist to hold neuros together (Ok they do more things but is funny to think this way)
- Neurons dont replicate : The term "Neuron" englobes a whole lot of types of brain cells, and some yes, even duplicate
- The brain is closed off from the rest of the body, like a chamber of sorts : You would be horrified to know that theres a connection between your cranium and your spinal column, where cerebrospinal fluid flows at night to your brain to wash it from all the byproducts of brain function (So you could technically call a sleep deprived person a dirty brain)
Also, not related directly to the brain but hearts do not have their own nervous sistem, they have an autonomous sistem made of specilialized muscular cells that just jolt on their own, we even have 3 nodes where the pulse generates that can work for the others in case one fails (Thats arrythmia folks)
Also also, another fun fact, cells come from the same fetal layer (the 3 layers that form 8-9 days after fecundation) as the cells from your skin, freaky.
👅
FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE ACTUALLY KNOWS
Is that whole dirty brain thing why brainfog happens? Seems neat.
Thanks for the DLC
Wait, what type of brain cell do I have? I only have 1.
“I legally must inform you that better help can not help you teleport” had me cracking up
"its like a hard drive you don't want to drop any of them on the floor" got me so hard
"Today we'll be looking at some common breathmints!" Honestly thats sounds fun too
Yes
I feel like, the reason we simplify the senses down to the 5, is because all those other ones are just ADVANCED touch
I feel like a sense of balance or gravity is VERY different from touch. It doesn’t even have anything to do with nerves
@@unqualified_nobody Just air touch/not touch.

@@official-obama taste is just feel with tongue fingers (taste buds)
his videos are always so pleasing to watch, from the colours to the animation and fun visuals
You really don't want to use 100% of your brain all at once, if you do we call that a seizure
The fact I’m more interested in these videos than actual school says something
It means Gingy is a great teacher :)
Fun fact: The 10% myth basically comes from a game of telephone. A neurologist or something said as of that time (2000 I think?) we only understand how around 10% of our brains work. That got picked up by news companies who way oversimplified what they said, and that was misinterpreted as the 10% myth.
i once read an article in late 2000s explaining how early scanners could only detect voltages at a certain levwl and nothung less, giving the illusion of only 10% of the brain being active. later on more sensitive equipment were able to detect previously undetectable voltages, showing all the brain is active to some degree at incredibly low voltages. some parts being in a standby state or regulating body processes like how computers might run background processes.
You are the reason I got into animation. Thank you for continuing to share random silly videos with the world :)
I'm happy to hear! I'll go check some of them out :)) THank you!
@@GingerPale that means more to me than I know how to express. Thank you :))
omg new gingerpale video :(
im so happy. i recently just had surgery for a cyst removal in my ovary am cut up really badly around my stomach. i cant sleep long because everything hurts so ive been trying to find ways to distract myself. this video really just made my day. thank you
I'm sorry to hear, I hope you feel better soon!! and thanks for the kind words :)
Hope you feel better
"This is my outside skull..."
that kid is speaking straight facts.
Its a good thing our hearts don't stop beating when we notice it like blinking and breathing does
Probably for the better that manual heart was locked
BetterHelp? Come'on GingerPale.
Well he did say he hit his head.
thank you for this scrumptious brain video it was delicious
Boppity bibbity, your breathing is now a concious activity.
I like how every once and awhile ginger just comes back with random fun facts and then vanishes
Remember, kids, in an actual Trolley Problem situation the 5 people are most likely to die…because people tend to freeze meaning they can not flip the switch leading to the train having slightly redder wheels than it would have.
I didn't learn anything, well besides the koala having extra thumbs, but it's nice to see these common myths set straight. I still know way too many people that believe that stupid "you only use 10% of your brain" myth
Dont forget clamydia basically all coalas have clamydia, even the baby ones , because they eat the mom's pop
Man it's crazy how fast gpapi is able to make such smooth animation. That takes a major amount of work and dedication it's really impressive
“I put flames on it, I made it ✨pretty✨”
- lil creative guy
Can we appreciate the painting in gingerpales room now that’s what I call modern art
I can't believe the only thing I learned in this video was that koalas have two sets of thumbs

Bruh 😆 animation is hard
6:45 this part is what i think of that ad there.
Great video and get that bread.
It was actually a scientist who said we know 10% of your brains and teacher took that and said we only use 10%
the irony is funny
3:31 I like to think (if it wasn’t confirmed yet) that while we do you all parts of our brain, we might use the right or left side more dominantly than the other.
my brain is like spaghetti, weird tasty and Italian... wait
3:59 men have more teeth than women
My brain for a sec readed "we have more teeth than women"
I love the lil things, like how Gingerpale portrays the "right brain guy" as being asymmetrical, since "right brained" people are good with pictures, including abstract art.
0:30 The Crayons sticking out of the floor made me laugh so hard I had to rewind the video haha. Ladies and Gentlemen, this guy has done his research. I say this as someone who has spent more time reading about the brain than any human being that doesn't do it for a frickin living (like a brain surgeon or whatever). I've also got a metric fricktonne of holes in my brain because of hydrocephalus (google it. It'd take too long to type out and this isn't my ted talk) and yet I can still do brain thinky things and stuff, regardless of which side of my brain has the most holes. Excellent video dude. It's so good in fact that I've already forgiven you for saying "soccer" instead of "football" (the real one where you kick the ball with your goddamn foot) haha
P.S
Sincerely all the best with your struggle with anxiety gingerpale, I know it's rough
6:34 thanks... im now manually pumping my blood..

6:02 FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT. I HAVE SUCH A VENDETTA AGAINST KOALAS. THEY’RE SO STUPID, AND NOT CUTE ENOUGH TO MAKE UP FOR IT
Idk, they can be pretty cute... until you learn literally ANY disgusting fact about them.
Like the fact that they're native to Australia.
@@claylilac Bro, they suck so hard. The ONLY reason they are still a species is because predators don’t consider them worth it. They have next to no nutritional value, so why bother? The literally survive by not being worth the effort 😂

5:25 If you want to know the full details of what contributes to your intelligence,
well,
uhh,
we don't know. Octopuses are famously very intelligent, yet their brains are smooth.
Then again, most of their body's brain power are actually in their arms, and their arms operate fairly autonomously.
Though some very smart bird also have smooth brains.
So no matter what you say, there's bound to be disagreement on what you said.
The brain is complicated.

The misconception that we only use 10% of our brain was actually a misunderstood quote from a neurologist back in like 19 something. But what he actually said was we only know what 10% of our brain does.
4:09 Lmfao lololololol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂
I frequently hear the joke about kids being scared when they find out that there’s a skeleton inside them. But actually, you are inside of your skeleton, which is inside your skin.
Instead of your skeleton being trapped inside your body, your body is actually trapped in your skeleton. Because your heart and brain is in your skeleton. Your welcome. See you next time.

1:25 why did every RUclipsr forget the controversy with better help
What was it ?
0:04 odd letters... stray alphabet?
?2N??A1
2?A?
? = unknown symbol.
clearly not the stray alphabet
interpreting the letters by what theyre probably supposed to say it - blue and red sign is probably "open" - seems like:
o = :
p = |͞
e= |͞ .
n = |̄
and the sign says:
?o???e?
"coffee!" would be my guess but that implies two (" |͞. " and " |̄°") symbols for "e", not unheard of (see _stray_ alphabet) and im guessing a "!" because gingerpale likes whimsy.
"BobaTea" could also be it though that implies two "b" symbols (B and b?) as well as two "a" symbols.
this may be a whole language i dont know or just a fancy typeface for english. idk.
I forgot i even did this, i think you got it with the boba hahha

For those asking, better help steals bata and sells it to bitters, not eithical at all and definitely not helpful
