    I’d pay for a long winded discussion on cars from this man, I may not be a car person myself, but learning new things brings me joy, especially when the person teaching is passionate about what they are showing.

    "As useful as a Helicopter ejection seat"
    Fun fact time: some helicopters have ejection seats, and the ones that do also have have explosive devices strapped to each rotor blade that blows up when the seat is ejected to clear the air above the chopper when they are activated.

    • @piscessoedroen
      @piscessoedroen ปีที่แล้ว +85

      And those "some" helicopters are the russian Ka-50 and Ka-52. Which is surprising, you'd think that they'd be the ones who would not have interest in equipping it to helis. I guess the factor of having a coaxial rotor helps making the ejection easier?

Now i ask, does this happen because the coaxial rotor helps make it easier (as it only appears on ka-50 and 52 but not the Mi family) or was it because kamov said fuck it and gave it ejection seats because they can?

    I know it’d probably be too difficult a medium to do a video on but the first sentient parasites I ever heard of was from the book series Animorphs. The Yeerks are very similar to these parasites and are described as amphibious giant slugs. They feed on a specific energy from their sun the Yeerks call Kandrona Rays combined with the thick soupy water of their home world. The keys to getting off their planet was when a diplomat from a more advanced race decided to uplift them and teach them about the world and topped it all off by giving them a machine that simulated their sun. They enter through the ear of a creature and attach themselves to the brain. The host is still conscious the entire time but is unable to properly move their own body, meanwhile the Yeerk and read their every memory and thought giving them the ability to perfectly imitate someone with the only cracks being more social or the Yeerks own mannerisms creeping out. They can survive up to three days without Kandrona and so on the third they’ll return to hidden Yeerk Pools to leave the host and “eat” before returning to their routine.
    They have a cover operation to get more hosts called The Sharing which is basically something like a Charity Organization with slightly cultish undertones. Recruiting members of the community to help the community or to simply have good old social bonding. They do this because willing hosts are easier than forced ones. Because sometimes a hosts own instincts and needs can overpower the Yeerk, so the desire of self preservation can disrupt the process and make them harder to subjugate.

    NGL your PSA about “being smart isn’t enough without a strong work ethic” sadly explained my life. Short version - I never had to study in high school to maintain a 4.0 and when it came to college I knew I had no clue how to. So, instead of taking on a more challenging major that would require it I played it safe and ended up going to school for something that became useless right before my final semester. In other words this is the best advice I’ve come across in most any form of media so take it to heart people!!!!

      My method was essentially ‘make connections with everything’…especially if pop culture. Does it mean no one else understands? Sure. But do YOU? Good.
      Does ‘no wait it functions like…Minecraft minecart tracks, and you put a chest of the materials in the cart and take it to another end of the track to unload” confuse everyone else? Fine, if that works and helps you.

      Someone's ready to start listening to Dr.K and realize they might have ADHD. Bottom line is, don't just give up, it might take you a while longer to build your life back up, but potential is still potential. Just cause you're 25 doesn't mean you're over and done, people start rebuilding even at 40s. What you are however, is done with reaching the stars, but once you say "meh, screw it, we roll" you can still do wonders for your life and achieve maximum of your current situation, even if it will never be as high as if you weren't in this shit. But who cares, part of growing up is realizing just how much our "wants" are idiotic and we ought to release them. Pretty much every religion teaches some form of being content with how things are.

This movie was pretty accurate with the teachers attitudes towards kids and I highly remember the football team being trash until they reinstated the drink on the job Friday Night Lights Style Coach and yes we had a Billy Ray on the team who was his punching bag on the field. Glory did we pay for the failure of parents past.

    9:20 My theory is the planet had extreme seasons likely due to a slower and highly elliptical orbit, it's plates were stable and lacked Earth's current form of plate tectonics (Very stable and resembling the other terrestrial planets in our solar system including the young Earth) and thus its crust or "surface" was much more uniform in height so the majority of its ocean was a shallow sea, possibly a few small seasonal islands. Before Earth's tectonics kicked into high gear the Earth's stability also caused life to be relatively stagnant hence the name "The Boring Billion" however in the case of the alien parasites home planet it had the previously mentioned elliptical orbit to introduce some chaos into the mix, more and more ice would begin forming the further it got from its star until the water levels in the shallow seas caused "seasonal islands" near the poles which would trigger a positive feedback loop trapping more and more water in polar ice caps that grew until a large portion (idk lets go with like 60-80%) of planets shallow sea to disappear, forcing organisms to either migrate to deeper waters beforehand and face stiff competition for the decreased resources in a greatly reduced area every winter, develop a form of suspended animation to wait it out, or incorporate it into their life cycle by hatching in the spring, laying eggs in the fall, dying in the winter, and next generation repeating the process; and the parasite in movie just took the suspended animation route.

    What I don't understand is how were the formerly infected can just return to normal when the parasite(s) inside their bodies have completely physically taken over? There's no way that the dead, leftover parasite(s) wouldn't affect bodily functions considering how big & foreign they are to the body... It would've made more sense that most, if not all, of the infected were dropped dead at the end, like what happened to the victims in the movie Slither at the end of that movie.

I vaguely remember reading it and the research stated that it wasn't proven if the "Mating Ritual" CAUSED the shrinkage of brain matter or that it proved that people with less brain matter tended to be addicted to "Mating Ritual"s. I know the one I read was published a few years back, so are you going off something that was more recent? Genuinely curious.

      A lot of websites and other "sources" have however twisted the conclusion and changed it to "A mating ritual addiction reduces grey matter".
      So either Ranoake took this info from a source that twisted it or he found a new study (or ma boi is misremembering it, etc.

    I am not a biologist but I do have an hypothesis as to why heart transplant patients start craving foods that the donor liked
    As far as I'm aware, our genetic code impacts our metabolism, making us crave certain foods due to our bodies needing some specific vitamins, minerals, lipids, or whatever it is we need that are *in* those foods.
    The donor heart has a different genetic code, so, strictly speaking, it would also have different nutritional needs, which may cause the recipient crave the same foods that donor's metabolism thrived upon.
    I have no idea how much of this is remotely accurate, but that's my hypothesis on why it happens.
