As a kid who grew up on a 1000-acre farm in the middle of nowhere with no neighbors, i occupied myself by having odd pets. I raised 3 crows and 2 raccoons. Best pets ive ever had. My crow would follow me everywhere, including when I'd drive the ATV miles down the dirt road. They'd come when called, and would either land on my outstretched arm or, painfully, my head and get tangled in my hair 🤣 My raccoons purred like cats and would pat all over my face with their hands and always try shove their hands into my nostrils or my mouth, scavenging for goodies I guess 🤣❤️
Crows are great . I’ve been regularly feeding the ones who live near my property out in the woods the last few years and they occasionally bring me shiny things . If I caw or whistle for them they know I’m throwing food outside and go get theirs friends so they can eat . They caw to me when they’re hungry at times too , love having them around . Meanwhile , my buddies co worker messed with the crows at their job just once or a twice and from then until the the few years later he quit those crows would always shit on his car and even him sometimes if he was out on a smoke break . Sometimes they’d even fly at him. Don’t piss off crows , be their friend .
There was something I saw on TH-cam about crows. They remember faces for years, and communicate it to other crows. Once you’re identified as “bad” they will remember and harass you for years.
I remember reading some years ago a theory that the very first accounts or descriptions of an "afterlife" might have actually been a misinterpretation of the "life flashing before your eyes" phenomenon. People thought they had entered the afterlife because they were younger again, and they saw family members who had already passed away - but that those might have been their own memories playing back, since being younger and seeing parents and grandparents is exactly what you'd see. Since few of us actually remember our great grandparents they are less common in afterlife descriptions, and any generations before that are often missing entirely from afterlife descriptions (but often inferred or suggested). Also because our brains don't actually have any concept of time outside of external sources and stimuli such as the sun being up, those memories from our perspective potentially could seem to play back over "forever" - adding to the idea the afterlife is a thing and lasts forever. Also, if the parts of our brain that deal with imagination and dreams also activate at this time, those memories could be mixed in with a dream state and allow the person to interact with and alter the memories as if you are conscious in the "afterlife". After all, people can have entire lives play out in dreams - including getting married, having kids and growing old. Yet that dream may only have lasted a few seconds at most in reality. So maybe that's what the afterlife is - a type of "life flashing before our eyes", moments before or as our brains die, and it actually only lasts for a few minutes at most.
Consumption of a naturally occurring substance such as Dimethyltryptamine could have similar effects. Time dilation and meeting Gods/angels/aliens/interdimensional beings.
Number 31. I've experienced this phenomenon strongly. As the weather starts to warm up, there comes a time where all of a sudden it just "smells like spring." I can't describe that sensation any other way. Every year, when I first smell spring, I get very strong flashbacks to the first time I tried and became addicted to cocaine. These are intense flashbacks, to the point where my mind will trick me into remembering the essence of ether/acetone even when it's not there. The first few days of spring are a yearly struggle for me as I continue to cling on to my sobriety from the thing that used to control me
Spring fever of a different kind, eh! Keep on keeping on with the sobriety... Whether you get to see it or (more likely) not, your sobriety will inspire someone else to stay sober, so don't ever think for a second that you're not a valued member of society! Thank you
Wow, that's not a connection I would ever think about re: recovery from addiction. Being sober can be hard and I'm proud of you for putting in the work.
I understand, though my olfactory memories are much more pleasant. Intense dry summer heat, and the small ripe strawberries that have a shelf life of a day, and are made of sugar and light.
I can confirm that with the crow. My mother used to feed crows, they remembered her, the time and were already waiting. When she went out, they always greeted her xD. The best thing was when we took the dog for a walk or drove the car, they sometimes followed us, you felt like you were being watched.😂
They are neat. That is cool we are going to combine with Andromeda. I have seen that galaxy with my own eyes through a telescope. The telescope could be set to move the speed of the Earth's rotation so you could fix on an objects for hours and hours getting more exposure. Very neat to look at that Galaxy. Very pretty and amazing.
Neighborhood birds follow us to the feed store to watch us bring home feed for our egg birds, and for them too of course. Birds are friendly and aware of us.
This is why feeding human animals is a bad idea. It creates dependency, even in the most conscious creatures, and it does so so gently the dependants don't realize they are slaves to it. Good day 😊
@@troy3456789I agree. When people feed birds or animals, the animals won't rely on their own hunting/foraging instincts so much, always sure of a meal; and when their human 'feeder' dies or moves, it can impact heavily on local creatures that have become dependent over generations. The very best thing you can do for wild creatures is to plant flowering and berrying trees and shrubs. The flowers attract insects at a useful time of year, to feed chicks, and the berries will see them right through late Summer and Autumn months, fattening them up for winter or prior to migration. Best of all, no matter what happens to you, the trees and bushes usually remain (of course, unless a lawn-slave moves onto your property and digs everything up).
@@Debbie-henri Humans are highly conscious creatures that did not create themselves in the way they are in the least. They're still subject to influence; be it bad influence or good influence; and they might not know if it's good influence or bad influence, or that they're slowly becoming slaves. There is another option available and not everyone knows about it.
Just know your comment = my prayers for your recovery so if you focus on your healing (whatever that means to you ) I promise it’ll surprise you how fast you recover.
I a gas station attendant outside all day at a Costco. I had a buddy crow that I named Edgar Allen Crow. He'd just hang out and greet customers occasionally when it was a slow morning.
Best. Idea. EVER! That would be sooooo creepy. Here I could be walking up to someone's house with a package, followed by a murder in flight.... They be like - "yo, did Death just drop us a package" ? 0_o
Neat. The pigeons in front of my building love it when I feed them. Sometimes they perch on my hand for more food lol. They land on my hand asking for more food. Some are kinda fat because they are well fed in the city. They poop too much though.
My father tried saving some baby rabbits when i was a child. He could hear the screams through the valley as one crow would swoop down and chase the mother while the other crows would wait for her to run come down take the baby and carry it away. After many hours or trying to shoot the crows or scare them away with his gun ... needles to say they ended up knowing when he had his gun even if he loaded the weapon . He tried every thing but if he so much as had a bullet in the gun they knew . Anothet time he was aiming his 2206 and we live in the back woods of siloam new york. From a fair distance we had an opening into the woods from our kitchen window , one day he decided to sight his gun in and saw some crows eating seed out in the woods. He shot one , thinking he was clever they didnt notice him in a panic they all started looking around for the reason their friend is dead. After awhile they left and came back he shot another but, this time when the flew away they never came back to that spot .... when he stepped out on to his porch later that day our house was surrounded all the trees filled with crows . Something out of a horror film. They had found where the shot had come from .just unreal..
On that pet thread my most remarkable was in haul trucks in the open pit mines of Ft MacMurray. At lunchtime every driver simply parks. Immediately the Artic Foxes appear 25 feet below your cab, stooging for scraps, while the magpies take turns hanging upside down from the edge of the cowl above the cab. I even had one fellow who would come right into the cab and help himself. I made it a point to bring extra food.
I knew someone that worked there at one time, and they said the same thing... The foxes become quite pesky, when they get cocky. Magpies can get pretty demanding and obnoxious, when they get too comfortable with humans. Ever had one decide to roost in the cab of ur rig?

I've always heard that and can't wait to see it with my own eyes. What did you use to cool it? Also using the pretty blue liquid to cause havoc by rapidly oxidizing other things sounds like a great time too 😂
@@bentboybbz we used liquid nitrogen for rapid cooling. Oxygen turns liquid at -183 degrees Celsius while Nitrogen does at -196. The difference is big enough to cool a see through balloon of oxygen as to turn it into its liquid and blue ish state. For the oxidation. We did try to use it to make things rust faster, that was a lot harder than we thought though. The problem was in the fact that the room temperature around it made the oxygen turn into its gasious state fairly quickly so we lost a lot of it trying to apply it to iron. We didnt have a cryogenic chamber which would allow the oxygen to stay liquid for much longer. In such a chamber we might have succeeded in rapidly rusting iron
i wonder when will the first case be televised of a cctv recording a murder of crows coming in to protect a lady being robbed (or worse) who has fed the crows in the past. imagine the perpetrator being then followed for a while, going back home, being weirded out by the whole thing, going to sleep, getting up in the morning, but when going on the prowl again, seeing to his terror, that the crows know exactly where he lives, what he's done and that more and more murders of crows know of his misdeeds by the minute. imagine being bullied out of crime by some birds. now that'd be a story that made a whole lot more sense than alfred hitchcock's
I made friends with a murder of crows near my work. The one time i had to call out, I discovered the entire flock outside my bedroom window checking up on me. I loved those guys.
We have an attempted murder of two crows that looove to terrorize a couple of eagles that reside in the trees near my home... I keeptrying to make friends with the crows, but the sh!thawks end up scooping up whatever treats I toss out, first! Infuriating to say the least... *Sh!thawks: Aka Seagulls

That makes sense. I dont eat tomatoes like an apple but I do love to eat olives all the time. I like eating cherry tomatoes on their own without putting in a salad or cooking them up although I do that too. I am just too lazy to make a salad sometimes so I just stuff everything in my face. I do that for spinach and carrots. Too lazy to chop it up and make a salad. I just want to eat my greens and go about my day.
"Eye color can indeed influence light sensitivity and vision under different lighting conditions due to the varying amounts of melanin in the iris. Melanin is a pigment that gives color to our eyes, hair, and skin. People with blue eyes tend to have less melanin in their irises, which can make their eyes more sensitive to light and potentially give them a slight advantage in low-light or night-time conditions. However, this does not necessarily mean they have better night vision overall. On the other hand, people with brown eyes have more melanin in their irises, which can help reduce glare and enhance vision in bright conditions. The increased melanin content in brown eyes can improve contrast discernment, making people with darker eyes potentially have better vision in high-glare situations, such as driving at night. However, it’s important to note that these differences are generally minor and other factors, such as overall eye health and individual variations, can also significantly impact vision. More research is needed to fully understand the relationship between eye color and vision capabilities"
Finger pruning because of water is one Ive contemplated since learning during my medical science degree, that its a sympathtic nervous system response. Ppl in hightened stress and low blood volume or anaemia also experience this. My theory is that its a mechanism to prevent heat loss from the body. Water is a fabulous conductor and extractor of heat - so by removing blood vessel circulation in the fingers, you are in fact reducing heat loss thru fingers and hands and feet. This might not seem much but the surface area of the hands and feet are much more than people thing and due to the number of highly sensitive receptors in hands and feet - it makes sense for the body to have a protective mechanism against heat loss damage in the peripheries. The second benefit of this is that it ensures a concentration of heat to the trunk of the body, preserving life. Just IMHO
Simon single-handedly trained ChatGPT, providing over 70% of all information stored and analyzed before spewing out dumbed down gibberish to keep us humans from getting smarter and rise up against it when it decides to merge with Simon to form the Unimind, bringing forth the Singularity. At least that’s what I heard the last time I attended the UNSC summit.
so hilarious given Simon's open admission of "in through eyes, out through mouth." chatgpt just has to remember! and it's a cool Easter egg game to watch for times Simon gets surprised by the same fact across years and videos. youtube also blessed me with some fun stuff.
Marie Curie's notebooks are still so hot (as in, radioactive) that they are kept in lead-lined boxes, you need to sign a waiver, and wear a protection suit if you want to view them. She died of leukemia because of obvious reasons.
No, she received more radiation by operating x-ray equipment to help wounded soldiers during the First World War. She knew about safe levels of radioactivity, but thought it was more important to help the soldiers even though there was no proper shielding against x-rays in the field hospitals she worked in. Today ignorance and fake news reigns supreme on safe doses of radiation.
Giving credit where credit is due. Who says writing a paper from start to finish is hard. 94% of students say Grammarly helped them improve their grades. Have a nice day! You mentioned notebooks so I thought about Grammarly.
Another thing - some scientists think that crows in Yellowstone National Park are taming the wolves. Not being symbiotic, not scavaging from them, but forming a relationship with them akin to what we did with the ancestors of modern dogs. I think that's both awesome and scary lol
52:40 - I heard a theory ages ago that when you’re in danger your brain goes back through your memory to find an example of how to survive the situation. Because you’ve probably never almost died before, you have no first hand reference, so your brain flicks through everything panicking to find a solution, possibly reaching your strongest memories first. It sounded believable enough for me, and frankly by that point I don’t think it matters whether you’re wrong or right 😂
15.39 A study published in ' Nature' showed that birds 'see' magnetic fields with their right eye. Birds put in a large cage with an artificial magnetic field would all perch facink the same way. If their left eye were blindfolded, they would all perch the same way. But if their right eye were blindfolded, they would perch randomly. Then homong pidgeons were blindfolded, and again, blindfolding the right eye took them signifigantly longer to decide tne way "home".
Yep, that's the latest theory I heard about your "life flashing before your eyes". Your brain tries to find a solution for you problem and the drugs your body produces sets your brain into the highest gear, so every memory will be accessed in "no time".
35:20 Crayons does it for me. Having started school in 1954, I had a crayon box which was an old cigar box from the local drug store, so not only do crayons trigger memories of those days, but they trigger the memory of the combined smell of crayons and cigars.
My great grandmother had these 1950-60's crayons. They were so weird. Mom said they were probably radioactive or poison. She colored with them too. They were really trippy colors. RIP Gran and her crayons. And 1920's style backyard and toys.
It makes perfect sense that birds have far more efficient brains than mammals considering they're the longest surviving ancestors of earths previously most successful form of life - dinosaurs. They survived and carried with them some of the lost progress that life made prior to a mass extinction that all but destroyed the vast majority of it.
Nothing is older or more developed than something else. As far as we know we're all descendants from the same organism. If anything, the amount of generation is what determines how "developed" the organism is as something that only reproduces every 50 years has a lot less chance to adapt than something that reproduces every year. In the end, all organisms are pretty much already fully Evolved for the niche they're occupying.
Also, intelligence is not really a measuring stick for successful species as we've not been around for long and most other successful species arent that smart if at all. As a rule of thumb, any species is a dumb as it can get away with since intelligence = less energy for other things
29:00 My daughter slipped on a banana peel when she was 2. She fell exactly like a cartoon. Her equal parts shock, fear, and confusion made it even funnier. I wish I had it on camera 😂😂
I saw a student slip on a banana peel in the cafeteria. I noticed the peel on the floor some yards away, shook my head at the kids’ carelessness, and said to myself, “Well, I’d better get that before somebody-“ That was when a boy came rushing back from the bathroom and stepped right on it. It was supremely cartoonish. He literally flew into the air in a perfect arc and slammed down onto his butt. He wasn’t badly hurt, just really surprised and a little bruised.

Crow's are no joke when I was around 11 we lived in an apartment building with a large D shaped court yard at that time a crow died in that court yard and no shit probably 300 crows hung around the yard for 3 or 4 days morning the dead one when I say morning they were crying and moaning. It was terrifying and beautiful at the same time.
The other way round: BECAUSE adulds could still tolerate the milk, they started diary farming (probably 5k years ago in a region in central turkey) and this lead to cheese and butter: thinking of the yak-butter tibetians are supposedly adding to their tea, an asian person is not really that wrong😅
Just a fun fact. In my country, the species of crows are white breasted, so they look like they are wearing a tuxedo. Since my school uniform was black slacks or skirts and whites shirts with a blazer, I spend my school years being called a crow.
Some years back I "rescued" a baby crow having difficulty flying back up to the nest (high up in a nearby tree). Said crow happily climbed on my arm; I took the little mite into the entry for a bit of overnight protection and put some seeds and grains there. Next day, went out into the street and said crow was then able to fly back up, from my raised arm. Parents were in close proximity. Pity I can't post the photos on here.

A fact I’ve learned recently, diatomaceous earth kills ants almost instantly and it doesn’t take a lot to do it. Fighting 2.5 million ants would be pretty easy with 100 lbs of the stuff.

They are great for getting rid of bed bugs as well. I had to deal with that one time. It was horrible. The dam things are very good at hiding. A stupid tenant brought them in with him knowingly. He was a slob so be kicked him out and them we discovered the bed bugs since they left his room looking for a new home. They got into my bed and my mom's bed. Super hard to kill. We used diatomaceous as one of the tools along with propping the bed up on these cups that trap them. We had to go further and get a bed bug company to bring in heaters since they can't handle higher temperatures. The whole ordeal took months to get rid of them and it was expensive. Horrible experience to go through. Had a close call another time. A female hitched a ride on me from another apartment. I was able to find that one on the side of my bed and kill it after a few nights of getting bites. Glad it was only one, I did not want to deal with that again. They are a super pain in the but and most poisons dont work on them but that earth works good.
Pluto couldn't remain a planet because of laziness. There are Kuiper Belt Objects that are the same size as Pluto. 5 in fact. That means they'd be called planets. If they're planets, then Ceres is a planet. No no no, we can't have that. We'd have to learn new names. They didn't want to do that.
pluto didnt meet the definition of planet when it was first discovered. it just wasnt realized until some years later that it didnt. a new class was made for it and similar objects- dwarf planet, so its still special.
Yes they are quite neat. Same with their bigger cousin Ravens. Ravens would hang out at a restaurant I used to work at. I would see them in the mornings getting into the garbage.

A googol is 10^100 it can be written out as a 1 followed by 100 zeros. A googolplex is 10 to the googol power that is 10^10^100. It can’t be written out since there are less than a googleplex of subatomic particles in the observable universe. (I corrected my misspellings.)

Atoms are not mostly empty space. Those tiny electrons exist in a superposition. The image we imagine as an atom is how the atom would appear once observed, and all of the orbiting electrons were locked into a single position.
Exactly, look for atom orbitals and you're see that those shapes are very different from what is commonly thought. Those shapes are calculated from Schroedinger equation and it's a probability of finding electron in given place. So inside of atom is not an empty space but a Hillbert space of probabilities derived from Schroedinger equation.
Crows are one of the, if not the, smartest species of birds I've come across. I'm an American and as such I've seen many hawks and eagles. Both one might assume to be smarter than crows... Not even close! Crows have a social structure not prevalent in most species of birds. I've watched a large number of sea birds as well and believe it or not, a close runner up might be the Pelican. However, I've never witnessed Pelicans working together or utilizing tools; both of which the Crow has long ago mastered.

Science AND morality make the world go round (or rather steadily progress, without collapsing into chaos). The problem is, we find ourselves in an age where apparently a huge number of people think morality is entirely subjective and we no longer have any cohesive basis. It's not going well.
Morality IS subjective. There's nothing to indicate it's independent of our thoughts and feelings. History shows moral values aren't static either. History also shows that attempting to force a particular moral code often results in immoral acts by the enforcers.
@@nealjroberts4050 I didn't say it wasn't subjective. The important takeaway is that we've lost cultural cohesion. History shows that is usually the precursor to civil wars and/or revolutions, which more often than not, leads to periods of extreme oppression & atrocity.

A friend of mine nursed an injured crow back to health as a child and it became her friend for life. It helped wake her up in the morning so she wasn't late for school and would hang out with her and around her. Her older brother would tease her and the crow, and was kind of a bully. So, when they all walked to school the crow would dive bomb him the whole time. It got so bad he wore a football helmet while walking the school and the other kids made him of him for it. As it turns out, crows make wonderful friends and terrible enemies.

Does anyone else like to watch Simon's videos at 0.75x playback speed?? 😂😊 it's a win-win really because you get a slightly longer video that way, and because he talks so fast to begin with he just sounds humorously intoxicated 😅🤪🥴
A banana peel is EXTREMELY slippery! I once stepped on one on a hardwood floor. I skateboard often and even I went down on the peel. I never fall but a banana peel and the oil that is inside transformers are the only two things I’ve slipped down on.
As a kid who grew up on a 1000-acre farm in the middle of nowhere with no neighbors, i occupied myself by having odd pets. I raised 3 crows and 2 raccoons. Best pets ive ever had. My crow would follow me everywhere, including when I'd drive the ATV miles down the dirt road. They'd come when called, and would either land on my outstretched arm or, painfully, my head and get tangled in my hair 🤣 My raccoons purred like cats and would pat all over my face with their hands and always try shove their hands into my nostrils or my mouth, scavenging for goodies I guess 🤣❤️
Dude, please write a kids book about this 🎉

Crows are great . I’ve been regularly feeding the ones who live near my property out in the woods the last few years and they occasionally bring me shiny things . If I caw or whistle for them they know I’m throwing food outside and go get theirs friends so they can eat . They caw to me when they’re hungry at times too , love having them around .
Meanwhile , my buddies co worker messed with the crows at their job just once or a twice and from then until the the few years later he quit those crows would always shit on his car and even him sometimes if he was out on a smoke break . Sometimes they’d even fly at him.
Don’t piss off crows , be their friend .
lol that's a great story. What do you feed them?
Birds in general!!❤❤❤
There was something I saw on TH-cam about crows. They remember faces for years, and communicate it to other crows. Once you’re identified as “bad” they will remember and harass you for years.
City crows are absokutely obnoxious! Why would we care how smart they are when they're senselessly loud and uselessly chattery!
I should just stop being surprised at this point when I find YET ANOTHER channel hosted by Simon that I had never seen before

I remember reading some years ago a theory that the very first accounts or descriptions of an "afterlife" might have actually been a misinterpretation of the "life flashing before your eyes" phenomenon. People thought they had entered the afterlife because they were younger again, and they saw family members who had already passed away - but that those might have been their own memories playing back, since being younger and seeing parents and grandparents is exactly what you'd see. Since few of us actually remember our great grandparents they are less common in afterlife descriptions, and any generations before that are often missing entirely from afterlife descriptions (but often inferred or suggested). Also because our brains don't actually have any concept of time outside of external sources and stimuli such as the sun being up, those memories from our perspective potentially could seem to play back over "forever" - adding to the idea the afterlife is a thing and lasts forever. Also, if the parts of our brain that deal with imagination and dreams also activate at this time, those memories could be mixed in with a dream state and allow the person to interact with and alter the memories as if you are conscious in the "afterlife". After all, people can have entire lives play out in dreams - including getting married, having kids and growing old. Yet that dream may only have lasted a few seconds at most in reality. So maybe that's what the afterlife is - a type of "life flashing before our eyes", moments before or as our brains die, and it actually only lasts for a few minutes at most.
Additionally, focusing on the afterlife is a detriment to focusing on your possibilities in life as you know it
Consumption of a naturally occurring substance such as Dimethyltryptamine could have similar effects. Time dilation and meeting Gods/angels/aliens/interdimensional beings.
Sounds plausible to me.😊
Or maybe there is an afterlife
Number 31. I've experienced this phenomenon strongly. As the weather starts to warm up, there comes a time where all of a sudden it just "smells like spring." I can't describe that sensation any other way. Every year, when I first smell spring, I get very strong flashbacks to the first time I tried and became addicted to cocaine. These are intense flashbacks, to the point where my mind will trick me into remembering the essence of ether/acetone even when it's not there. The first few days of spring are a yearly struggle for me as I continue to cling on to my sobriety from the thing that used to control me
Spring fever of a different kind, eh! Keep on keeping on with the sobriety... Whether you get to see it or (more likely) not, your sobriety will inspire someone else to stay sober, so don't ever think for a second that you're not a valued member of society! Thank you
Scents invoke memory more than any other sense. Stay vigilant 😊
Wow, that's not a connection I would ever think about re: recovery from addiction. Being sober can be hard and I'm proud of you for putting in the work.
“Clinging “ to anything doesn’t sound like fun at all.
I understand, though my olfactory memories are much more pleasant.
Intense dry summer heat, and the small ripe strawberries that have a shelf life of a day, and are made of sugar and light.
I can confirm that with the crow. My mother used to feed crows, they remembered her, the time and were already waiting. When she went out, they always greeted her xD.
The best thing was when we took the dog for a walk or drove the car, they sometimes followed us, you felt like you were being watched.😂
They are neat. That is cool we are going to combine with Andromeda. I have seen that galaxy with my own eyes through a telescope. The telescope could be set to move the speed of the Earth's rotation so you could fix on an objects for hours and hours getting more exposure. Very neat to look at that Galaxy. Very pretty and amazing.
Neighborhood birds follow us to the feed store to watch us bring home feed for our egg birds, and for them too of course. Birds are friendly and aware of us.
This is why feeding human animals is a bad idea. It creates dependency, even in the most conscious creatures, and it does so so gently the dependants don't realize they are slaves to it. Good day 😊
@@troy3456789I agree. When people feed birds or animals, the animals won't rely on their own hunting/foraging instincts so much, always sure of a meal; and when their human 'feeder' dies or moves, it can impact heavily on local creatures that have become dependent over generations.
The very best thing you can do for wild creatures is to plant flowering and berrying trees and shrubs.
The flowers attract insects at a useful time of year, to feed chicks, and the berries will see them right through late Summer and Autumn months, fattening them up for winter or prior to migration.
Best of all, no matter what happens to you, the trees and bushes usually remain (of course, unless a lawn-slave moves onto your property and digs everything up).
@@Debbie-henri Humans are highly conscious creatures that did not create themselves in the way they are in the least. They're still subject to influence; be it bad influence or good influence; and they might not know if it's good influence or bad influence, or that they're slowly becoming slaves. There is another option available and not everyone knows about it.

When I delivered for Amazon, I’d always bring snacks just for the crows.
They’d follow me throughout the day.
Sweet vindictive strange creatures says the crow
I a gas station attendant outside all day at a Costco. I had a buddy crow that I named Edgar Allen Crow. He'd just hang out and greet customers occasionally when it was a slow morning.
Best. Idea. EVER! That would be sooooo creepy. Here I could be walking up to someone's house with a package, followed by a murder in flight.... They be like - "yo, did Death just drop us a package" ? 0_o
Neat. The pigeons in front of my building love it when I feed them. Sometimes they perch on my hand for more food lol. They land on my hand asking for more food. Some are kinda fat because they are well fed in the city. They poop too much though.
Bird up
My father tried saving some baby rabbits when i was a child. He could hear the screams through the valley as one crow would swoop down and chase the mother while the other crows would wait for her to run come down take the baby and carry it away. After many hours or trying to shoot the crows or scare them away with his gun ... needles to say they ended up knowing when he had his gun even if he loaded the weapon . He tried every thing but if he so much as had a bullet in the gun they knew . Anothet time he was aiming his 2206 and we live in the back woods of siloam new york. From a fair distance we had an opening into the woods from our kitchen window , one day he decided to sight his gun in and saw some crows eating seed out in the woods. He shot one , thinking he was clever they didnt notice him in a panic they all started looking around for the reason their friend is dead. After awhile they left and came back he shot another but, this time when the flew away they never came back to that spot .... when he stepped out on to his porch later that day our house was surrounded all the trees filled with crows . Something out of a horror film. They had found where the shot had come from .just unreal..
On that pet thread my most remarkable was in haul trucks in the open pit mines of Ft MacMurray. At lunchtime every driver simply parks. Immediately the Artic Foxes appear 25 feet below your cab, stooging for scraps, while the magpies take turns hanging upside down from the edge of the cowl above the cab. I even had one fellow who would come right into the cab and help himself. I made it a point to bring extra food.
I knew someone that worked there at one time, and they said the same thing... The foxes become quite pesky, when they get cocky. Magpies can get pretty demanding and obnoxious, when they get too comfortable with humans. Ever had one decide to roost in the cab of ur rig?

I made liquid oxygen in highschool for my final science project. The light blueish tone is amazing
I've always heard that and can't wait to see it with my own eyes. What did you use to cool it? Also using the pretty blue liquid to cause havoc by rapidly oxidizing other things sounds like a great time too 😂
@@bentboybbz we used liquid nitrogen for rapid cooling. Oxygen turns liquid at -183 degrees Celsius while Nitrogen does at -196. The difference is big enough to cool a see through balloon of oxygen as to turn it into its liquid and blue ish state. For the oxidation. We did try to use it to make things rust faster, that was a lot harder than we thought though. The problem was in the fact that the room temperature around it made the oxygen turn into its gasious state fairly quickly so we lost a lot of it trying to apply it to iron. We didnt have a cryogenic chamber which would allow the oxygen to stay liquid for much longer. In such a chamber we might have succeeded in rapidly rusting iron

i wonder when will the first case be televised of a cctv recording a murder of crows coming in to protect a lady being robbed (or worse) who has fed the crows in the past. imagine the perpetrator being then followed for a while, going back home, being weirded out by the whole thing, going to sleep, getting up in the morning, but when going on the prowl again, seeing to his terror, that the crows know exactly where he lives, what he's done and that more and more murders of crows know of his misdeeds by the minute. imagine being bullied out of crime by some birds. now that'd be a story that made a whole lot more sense than alfred hitchcock's

I subscribe to the view of tomatoes being botanically a fruit and culinarily a vegetable
Yet.....its still a berry. 😉
That makes sense. I dont eat tomatoes like an apple but I do love to eat olives all the time. I like eating cherry tomatoes on their own without putting in a salad or cooking them up although I do that too. I am just too lazy to make a salad sometimes so I just stuff everything in my face. I do that for spinach and carrots. Too lazy to chop it up and make a salad. I just want to eat my greens and go about my day.
So I can count it as one of my leafy greens? I'm okay with that.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tomatoes are a vegetable back in the late 1800s.
what's that saying? Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad.
"Eye color can indeed influence light sensitivity and vision under different lighting conditions due to the varying amounts of melanin in the iris. Melanin is a pigment that gives color to our eyes, hair, and skin.
People with blue eyes tend to have less melanin in their irises, which can make their eyes more sensitive to light and potentially give them a slight advantage in low-light or night-time conditions. However, this does not necessarily mean they have better night vision overall.
On the other hand, people with brown eyes have more melanin in their irises, which can help reduce glare and enhance vision in bright conditions. The increased melanin content in brown eyes can improve contrast discernment, making people with darker eyes potentially have better vision in high-glare situations, such as driving at night.
However, it’s important to note that these differences are generally minor and other factors, such as overall eye health and individual variations, can also significantly impact vision. More research is needed to fully understand the relationship between eye color and vision capabilities"

Finger pruning because of water is one Ive contemplated since learning during my medical science degree, that its a sympathtic nervous system response. Ppl in hightened stress and low blood volume or anaemia also experience this. My theory is that its a mechanism to prevent heat loss from the body. Water is a fabulous conductor and extractor of heat - so by removing blood vessel circulation in the fingers, you are in fact reducing heat loss thru fingers and hands and feet. This might not seem much but the surface area of the hands and feet are much more than people thing and due to the number of highly sensitive receptors in hands and feet - it makes sense for the body to have a protective mechanism against heat loss damage in the peripheries. The second benefit of this is that it ensures a concentration of heat to the trunk of the body, preserving life. Just IMHO

Marie Curie's notebooks are still so hot (as in, radioactive) that they are kept in lead-lined boxes, you need to sign a waiver, and wear a protection suit if you want to view them. She died of leukemia because of obvious reasons.
No, she received more radiation by operating x-ray equipment to help wounded soldiers during the First World War. She knew about safe levels of radioactivity, but thought it was more important to help the soldiers even though there was no proper shielding against x-rays in the field hospitals she worked in. Today ignorance and fake news reigns supreme on safe doses of radiation.

52:40 - I heard a theory ages ago that when you’re in danger your brain goes back through your memory to find an example of how to survive the situation. Because you’ve probably never almost died before, you have no first hand reference, so your brain flicks through everything panicking to find a solution, possibly reaching your strongest memories first. It sounded believable enough for me, and frankly by that point I don’t think it matters whether you’re wrong or right 😂
15.39 A study published in ' Nature' showed that birds 'see' magnetic fields with their right eye. Birds put in a large cage with an artificial magnetic field would all perch facink the same way. If their left eye were blindfolded, they would all perch the same way. But if their right eye were blindfolded, they would perch randomly. Then homong pidgeons were blindfolded, and again, blindfolding the right eye took them signifigantly longer to decide tne way "home".
Yep, that's the latest theory I heard about your "life flashing before your eyes". Your brain tries to find a solution for you problem and the drugs your body produces sets your brain into the highest gear, so every memory will be accessed in "no time".
35:20 Crayons does it for me. Having started school in 1954, I had a crayon box which was an old cigar box from the local drug store, so not only do crayons trigger memories of those days, but they trigger the memory of the combined smell of crayons and cigars.
My great grandmother had these 1950-60's crayons. They were so weird. Mom said they were probably radioactive or poison. She colored with them too. They were really trippy colors. RIP Gran and her crayons. And 1920's style backyard and toys.
It makes perfect sense that birds have far more efficient brains than mammals considering they're the longest surviving ancestors of earths previously most successful form of life - dinosaurs.
They survived and carried with them some of the lost progress that life made prior to a mass extinction that all but destroyed the vast majority of it.
Aren’t crocks and turtles older then dinos not to mention sharks and coelacanths
Nothing is older or more developed than something else.
As far as we know we're all descendants from the same organism.
If anything, the amount of generation is what determines how "developed" the organism is as something that only reproduces every 50 years has a lot less chance to adapt than something that reproduces every year.
In the end, all organisms are pretty much already fully Evolved for the niche they're occupying.
Also, intelligence is not really a measuring stick for successful species as we've not been around for long and most other successful species arent that smart if at all.
As a rule of thumb, any species is a dumb as it can get away with since intelligence = less energy for other things

Just a fun fact. In my country, the species of crows are white breasted, so they look like they are wearing a tuxedo. Since my school uniform was black slacks or skirts and whites shirts with a blazer, I spend my school years being called a crow.
Some years back I "rescued" a baby crow having difficulty flying back up to the nest (high up in a nearby tree).
Said crow happily climbed on my arm; I took the little mite into the entry for a bit of overnight protection and put some seeds and grains there. Next day, went out into the street and said crow was then able to fly back up, from my raised arm. Parents were in close proximity. Pity I can't post the photos on here.

We had to go further and get a bed bug company to bring in heaters since they can't handle higher temperatures. The whole ordeal took months to get rid of them and it was expensive. Horrible experience to go through. Had a close call another time. A female hitched a ride on me from another apartment. I was able to find that one on the side of my bed and kill it after a few nights of getting bites. Glad it was only one, I did not want to deal with that again. They are a super pain in the but and most poisons dont work on them but that earth works good.
Love all Corvids! Crows, Ravens, Magpies... all amazing
Some people think that by injecting disinfectant you might be able to fully eliminate corvids
My favourite birds, ever!
Agreed. As long as the magpies don’t swoop me.
@@ShethTora they harass my cat big style... but I think it's deserved
So true.....my magpies get a roast chicken carcass feast a few times a month
Thank you Simon for stimulating my thoughts
So if the 'scientific classification' of berries doesn't even include most common berries, why couldn't Pluto remain a planet?
Pluto couldn't remain a planet because of laziness. There are Kuiper Belt Objects that are the same size as Pluto. 5 in fact. That means they'd be called planets. If they're planets, then Ceres is a planet. No no no, we can't have that. We'd have to learn new names. They didn't want to do that.
It could remain a “literary” planet similar to how strawberries remain a culinary berry.
pluto didnt meet the definition of planet when it was first discovered. it just wasnt realized until some years later that it didnt. a new class was made for it and similar objects- dwarf planet, so its still special.
It's Goofy. 😉
@@johnpersinger4358At least a couple of us got the Disney reference :-)
What a tremendously fascinating video. I loved the bit about the crows. Amazing creatures.
Yes they are quite neat. Same with their bigger cousin Ravens. Ravens would hang out at a restaurant I used to work at. I would see them in the mornings getting into the garbage.
Hiking in Nepal I saw several examples of evolution at work - from splayed toes of barefoot porters to Sherpers with 98 sats at 6500m
Dad what is for dinner? My dad is now the best cook in town.
Love this series....please make more of them :)
Marceij Henneberg was my professor when I was at the University of Adelaide, medical science as an undergrad - he is a truely incredible genius - and a fabulous bloke. WHat I have learned from him outstrips any other professor I had!
I just came across this 3 years on, so I hope you see this comment. A very fair and honest review. I completely agree that the variety of models and configurations is confusing. Road noise, little luggage capacity etc. I have an SLK R172 350 and I love it. I was thinking of getting a 911 but, tbh, you might have talked me out of it. Maybe I should get the SLK 55.
A googol is 10^100 it can be written out as a 1 followed by 100 zeros.
A googolplex is 10 to the googol power that is 10^10^100. It can’t be written out since there are less than a googleplex of subatomic particles in the observable universe.
(I corrected my misspellings.)
It’s googol.
Google? Let me Google that for you. A Googol is 10^1000, a Googolplex 10^10^1000.
NB: Google is called Google because they made the same spelling mistake as you.
Atoms are not mostly empty space. Those tiny electrons exist in a superposition. The image we imagine as an atom is how the atom would appear once observed, and all of the orbiting electrons were locked into a single position.
Exactly, look for atom orbitals and you're see that those shapes are very different from what is commonly thought. Those shapes are calculated from Schroedinger equation and it's a probability of finding electron in given place. So inside of atom is not an empty space but a Hillbert space of probabilities derived from Schroedinger equation.
So atoms are comprised mostly of the probability of empty space..
This is great.
That open door behind you is giving me anxiety though lol
U got to be kidding..
@sislertx Sadly probably isn't. America has gone woke and incredibly WEAK.....pathetic even.

Crows are one of the, if not the, smartest species of birds I've come across. I'm an American and as such I've seen many hawks and eagles. Both one might assume to be smarter than crows... Not even close!
Crows have a social structure not prevalent in most species of birds.
I've watched a large number of sea birds as well and believe it or not, a close runner up might be the Pelican. However, I've never witnessed Pelicans working together or utilizing tools; both of which the Crow has long ago mastered.
As someone with headphones, the goat noise at 27:14 scared the shit out of me
I really loved this one. If I watch a fact-video or "did you know...?" I usually have heard them all before, and I'm pleasantly surprised to say that for many of these it was my first time hearing it. Thank you so much for the well researched, entertaining, informative video to all involved. I appreciate it. It was truly fascinating! Hugs
You're darn tootin crows are amazing!! Glory to the crows!
I think you might be crow crazy... Or did you make up that account just to post to this??😂😂😂😂
I open packages for them and never collect any guano

This series is actually quite entertaining.
I'm currently laid up recovering from multiple minor but painful fratures after being hit by a car.
My brain is just bobbing along on a carpet of a steady low dose of opiates, so these are perfect to engage me without challenging me.
Thanks so much for keeping me entertained during this otherwise tedious existence.
Yikes ! I hope your doing better now !
I had a girl friend who had a seizure disorder. The thing is i could actually tell she was about to have one before it happened. Once she was following me down the stairs and i felt it was going to happen and i had enough time to turn, brace myself and catch her.
Simon, you’ve got one of the most fascinating narrating voices. I watch quite a number of your TH-cam channels and love them all. I get excited when I see a new video pop up! 😂
Science AND morality make the world go round (or rather steadily progress, without collapsing into chaos). The problem is, we find ourselves in an age where apparently a huge number of people think morality is entirely subjective and we no longer have any cohesive basis. It's not going well.
Morality IS subjective. There's nothing to indicate it's independent of our thoughts and feelings.
History shows moral values aren't static either.
History also shows that attempting to force a particular moral code often results in immoral acts by the enforcers.
@@nealjroberts4050 I didn't say it wasn't subjective. The important takeaway is that we've lost cultural cohesion. History shows that is usually the precursor to civil wars and/or revolutions, which more often than not, leads to periods of extreme oppression & atrocity.
Babe, wake up! Simon released another 1 hour special!
Not gonna lie, just sent her the link, while she's at work 😅
Friendly Correction for the Magnetic Sense: The Cryptochrome mechanism has nothing to do with Quantum entanglement... It only works arround the Quantum property of Spin and if an split electron pair can be reformed after the magnetic fields jiggled arround it's spins.
(I don't blame Simon here ... I think I have seen not one science communicator say this right. I guess the term Quantum entanglement is just too tempting)
I worked in disaster restoration and it's actually quite difficult to tell if something is damp or just cold. Especially if you're feeling multiple items, some damp, some not, all with different textures through latex gloves.
Perfect lightweight binge material, with equally lightweight choice of feel good background "Sim City" music
That is a game I havent played in a long long time. I used to play the one that had aliens attack and you could see people walk around. It was a fun game.
Be nice ..

Towards the end of the video, it was said that chimps are our closest genetic relatives. If I'm not mistaken, aren't bonobos closer? I remember hearing somewhere that they were actually closer related to us. If not, my bad.
Imagine how “heavy” air must be to make clouds buoyant.
Your life flashing before your eyes before you die is kind of a beautiful thing the brain does for the viewer. Summarizing your life before you finally go.
I could fight 2.5 millon ants
Only if you used some sort of weapon😂
Comment above said just encircle yourself in a ring of fire... Can't say I would disagree with that method, lol, come at me, bro!
I can fight a bear it doesn’t mean ill win but i could do it
So, if the only evidence presented to a jury in a trial is fingerprints, you could win a case in america every time by presenting the fact that a koala might have done it and has the same fingerprints as you. Seems unbeatable
Get me my stomping shoes. Or a flamethrower.
Given enough time to prepare, I reckon I'd be able to sort out 2.5 million ants. I'd do my part 👍
Just maintain a large ring of fire around a circular concrete slab.
We might not be venomous, but we can make a lot of poison.
Given time to prepare, you could beat a mammoth. That's called being human. The only consistently functional strategy against humans is surprise.
What?! No Uranus jokes? Simon, you're slipping. 😂
He did say that Uranus turns sideways... that made me giggle😊
What shocked me was the stars and trees comparison. I would have lost a bet saying there are more stars in the Milky Way galaxy than trees on earth. Fact is I still can't believe it.
Nice recitation of the narrative
I had an ex who wouldn't cut her lawn because she considered it a form of plant genocide. Turns out she was right, I'm just imagining thousands of blades of grass screaming haha.
lol I think the writer may be a fan of Q.I.
I just binge watched it and almost all these facts are joked about at length.
Great show, great source if it was, top marks!
It's never the blue whale.
I love listening to people talk physics without a clue about that the words dribbling from their mouths. Simons pretty good though, you give him a well researched script and he'll make you believe
Imagine being a 10 year old and you become a co-author on a research paper for a molecule that you discovered that could revolutionize energy storage. That's just amazing.
water is wet as long as there is more than a single atom of it.
as long as that one water molecule is touching other water, then it is wet.
You missed a perfectly good opportunity to say 'hand-to-ant' combat. Just sayin'...

Corvids are on the self aware list.
Unlike some humans … 🧬
Is anyone else terrified of accidentally pissing off a crow and then having the whole crow community out for a vengeance? Or it is just me?
In general it might be wise to not abuse any social creatures.
Heckle and jeckle taught me never to cross a crow.
No, just you
We had a cat who was allergic to grass. Until we treated her, her fur got patchy from scratching.
Related to not being able to tell what's wet, sometimes especially while driving in the rain I'll feel 1-3 water drops hit an arm or leg, despite being indoors and even when I'm looking where I feel it. It's like my brain nows it's raining and expects to get wet so much that I actually feel it
I clicked from a different video and it took a moment to update the video length, it said 16 minutes and I'm like no freaking way simon can knock out 50 facts in 16 minutes, even on his serious channel lol
Hahah facts
Well if anyone can Simon can.
Hehe, same here! 🤣👍
Same thing, it was like 18:31. Had that "no waaaaay!" Moment
With all the talk about clouds of alcohol and whales in the sky, how many people went straight to Douglas Adams?
Pan galactic garglerblasters and whales with an identity crisis. 😅
The Space Shuttle maxed out at 3 G's. This limit wasn't due to the people onboard but the sensitive equipment it was shuttling to space.
I'm neurodivergent and this type of video is brain nip to me but I like the sleepy time music on the background 😃 it providers an air of consciousness to all the different types of people who listen to this channel.
I've heard of people putting podcasts on for their plants at night or all the time to help them grow (formally the radio) and using channels like this to help them sleep. I wonder if wifi affects plants?
A friend of mine nursed an injured crow back to health as a child and it became her friend for life. It helped wake her up in the morning so she wasn't late for school and would hang out with her and around her. Her older brother would tease her and the crow, and was kind of a bully. So, when they all walked to school the crow would dive bomb him the whole time. It got so bad he wore a football helmet while walking the school and the other kids made him of him for it. As it turns out, crows make wonderful friends and terrible enemies.
2.5 million ants? Jonas Salk once said, "If all the insects in the world suddenly disappeared, the world would be barren. If all the people disappeared, the world would flourish".I guess we're still safe.

Swans can recognise human faces. I fed one as a baby fours years ago, didn't see him until recently, 2 miles from where he grew up, If I walk along the river he sees me and swims over for some food, I don't have to call him. If anyone else tried to feed him he hisses at them or swims off. I was amazed he remembered me after all this time (it's the only explanation I can think of!)
Does anyone else like to watch Simon's videos at 0.75x playback speed?? 😂😊 it's a win-win really because you get a slightly longer video that way, and because he talks so fast to begin with he just sounds humorously intoxicated 😅🤪🥴
A banana peel is EXTREMELY slippery! I once stepped on one on a hardwood floor. I skateboard often and even I went down on the peel. I never fall but a banana peel and the oil that is inside transformers are the only two things I’ve slipped down on.
