🔴 • Why you should make us... 🔴
I said a lot more than just my name. Plus there's a great photo of me as a teenager so you should really go watch it.

🙏So my mom (yes, that lady with awesome gray hair) makes techno music and one of the tracks in the video is made by her. Here's her Soundcloud: / user-987940911
🙏As always, thanks Trey Xavier for making the official shitty robot tracks / geargods 💖
"Maybe you're procrastinating something by watching my procrastinate."
i feel so attacked right now
One year later, still under attack over here.
yup
Touché 🤣
Damn it
Same lol
Just think, if you do need to wear an eyepatch you can put a googly eye on it.
Jim's videos My daughter has some awesome eye patches she would be happy to share. She's a fan.
Best comment
I honestly thought the exact same thing!
1?
Jim's videos that would look so creepy
That boopy noise when she scanned your card was the best
I thought this - It sounds like the TED start up theme
Science with Katie : Hi Katie, love your channel.
I noticed that as well. It's the little things.
how in the world do you always get the most likes in all videos Katie?
Science with Katie girl you really need to get off TH-cam you watch way too many videos
Loved the talk, and this video. Sending highly scientific prayers into the ether for May 30th. -John
collab plz
If she gets cancer make a book about her john
Donk 2x 😂
Sending highly scientific trump to Whitehouse?
JOHN!!
Her sense of humour is so contagious...this channel makes me feel better after having a really bad day, great TED talk, just watched it...
Victor Muhia could not agree more! Shes so strong. The googly eye bit made me laugh and cry. Stay strong you!
Her sense of tumor is too
Same!
@@2nd3rd1st bruh lol
Ditto
On the plus side, with the nerve wracking Ted Talk now done, after the surgery you'll really have a huge load off your mind. #TumorHumour (For real, though, good luck!)
Today I Found Out lmao
Well hello there
That's a weird combo of US/UK spelling!
TumorHumor or TumourHumour I could understand, but TumorHumour?
I think you need to take a break from the intarwebz Simon, it's mangling your native (correct) spelling ;-)
To totally add to the confusion, being a Swede, Simone would have a Swedish Tumour, which is spelt Tumör. So TumörHumör (No, not making this up!).
That's some pretty good multilinqual word play she's got going on there!
Get well soon Simone, the world needs more terrible puns!
I love this.
This must be someone else working at TIFO. Simon is nowhere near this witty.
"maybe you're procrastinating by watching me procrastinating."
whoah Simone, where'd you hide the camera.
Procrastichores: Doing things that *kinda* need to be done to avoid doing something else that *really* needs to be done.
Tony James when I was in college, I was fabulous at procrastibaking, which is similar, because it’s baking first and then you get the added distraction of cleaning up afterwards. Never mind the fact I had a newborn too, that helps.
I love seeing Adam sporting a googlie(sp?) eye! 👁🗨
"I only slept 8 hours this night"
For me it is like one of my longest nights
when she said that i was like... that's what i do... i always sleep more than 8h and feel good, 12h is not uncommon but over that is only happening when i'm really tired, i think my record is like 27h or so? i slept 12h and found myself still very tired so i just doubled it, after which it felt weird but good... funnily i can't say that to anyone, as they would complain about me "oversleeping" if it's over 8h... unsure, if never feel bad then why... i also seem to deal with stress such way... i don't know, just nice alone time and such... and i need lot of time for myself... addionally, people should not try to disturb my sleep unless they want to know what this quiet boy can turn into
Sulev-Madis Silber 27h???
@@ketas Holy hell my best was probably somewhere around 18 hours. You sure are sleepy :D
My best is 10 hrs
Really enjoyed the talk. Thanks for that! Now you can focus on yourself. Totally
pulling for you!
I absolutely love your sense of humour in regards to life and everything involved
Ryan True same
That googly eye shirt is amazing! Also, your Mom is so elegant-looking. Also-also...CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR TED TALK!
Isn't her mom like a TV presenter or something? Makes sense she'd be elegant.
The TED talk was amazing 😍 great job 💪
Im worried that shirt could give you a brain tumor.....
Her mom is a tv presenter for a swedish tv show called "det okända", its about ghosts and mediums helping families lol. Its my guilty pleasure watching it
Also, you are boring @xingcat.
You're the high point of TH-cam, sister. TED talks WERE made for the like of you.
You represent a disproportionate share of the good and beautiful things humans have to give to the universe and each other.
Seriously, I'd name my daughter after you if Simone wasn't a male name where I live :D
We love you so much, and we're grateful for what you are. Stay strong
wow that's such a nice comment
HEY! YOUR SURGERY IS TOMORROW! WE WISH YOU THE VERY VERY BEST AND MAY YOUR DOCTORS HANDS BE NON-SHITTY!
Why are there only 8 likes on this comment from a verified account I am confused
We all like this person. Good human.
Saw the TED talk. You did very well. Awesomely in fact. And you say "I dont know what Ive done to deserve all of us" when talking about our full support, the answer to that is you are just a genuinely awesome person, you are authentic, youre passionate about your interest and we love having you around :)
*raises hand* I SECOND THAT MOTION!
@@dustysparks I THIRD IT!
"Wrap my head around..." Wonderfully bad!
Jim Fortune lol I didn't even get that. Good one Simone! XD
Love that Adam was there for support! Such a supportive person in general. :)
You are so inspiring! As an young woman trying to go into a stem field, your passion, humor, and innovation encourage me to pursue my passion but remind me not to take setbacks or any one project too seriously. I tend to suffer from anxiety and perfectionism so this is a lesson that is really important for me to take in. Thank you so much for being your awesome quirky self and sharing it with us! I hope your surgery goes well. You will be in my thoughts that day.
You're an amazing woman! I know you'll get through the surgery just fine. Sending my best to you!! Thank You
Simone: "Maybe you're procrastinating something by watching me procrastinate."
Me: "What, like the Advanced Russian exam I have in less than 24 hours that I haven't studied for? Or packing up my dorm room for imminent move-out? Nah, I'm not procrastinating."
Secret Forreddit dude, as a Russian - best of luck to you!!
Hey i can speak Russian too... but they said it was a terrible idea to take it as a university class and i'm doing Spanish instead.
давай!
Secret Forreddit or cleaning me house by tomorrow? Psh......naw
Or packing all my stuff and cleaning out my dorm room to go back to Norway in just a few days? naaahh, I never procastinate!
NOW SHE DOES FASHION. I am so baffled. I am in awe
They have Badge scanners making ted noises! This is so posh.
I head that too. That's such a strange detail.
1:37 Yes I am! I should be making my next video right now!!
I'll get to it tomorrow...
cool channel dude!!!
Procrastinators unite......tomorrow.
Today I procrastinated productively, by building a concrete step for my front door, instead of fixing my car. I just wanna stay at home, clearly.
i swear, im on it. we'll be united soon I just have a few things to do before.
i'm wearing a T-shirt right this moment that's saying I'll conquer the world...tomorrow...
nahh, it's still time until next week ...
Can't, I have to avoid studying tomorrow.
When they put you under anesthesia, you should sing "Daisy" in voices that keep changing pitch. Then do it again when they wake you up.
The young doctors will just think you're weird, but the older ones will laugh themselves into comas. Also, just before you go into surgery, say "What do you think you're doing, Dave?" in a strangely flat voice.
Or maybe not.
Best wishes and prayers for a successful surgery that leaves all your important parts intact.
WhereWhatHuh ion get it
this
This is a reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey, an epic science fiction film from 1968. In it the AI gets a little... well, it gets a little funny, and Spaceman Dave ends up having to do some emergency brain (sort of) surgery on it.
I suddenly found myself reading your comment in Peter Sellers's President Merkin Muffley voice:
"Just a little ... you know ... funny. And, he ... went and did a silly thing.
"He sent our pods to attack your astronaut."
#tumorhumour
I have never ever seen you look so nervous, but you nailed it! Rad TED talk, SImone! *very proud high five*
I put the "pro" in procrastination :)
I was so happy to find you through your TED Talk. You have helped me get inspired again to make things.
Omg this was entertaining hope your feeling better.
Literally watching this at work. Procrastination at it's worst, the struggle is real.
Your TED Talk was absolutly incredible I mean the way you said your name was just...I have no words thank you for these incredible 5s 😂
The TED talk was exactly what I needed at this point of my life! I have been feeling so down and useless lately, there are so many goals that I want to achieve and I never really end up spending more than a few hours on them before giving up BECAUSE of performance anxiety. I am definitely going to take your advice and plan for success by planning to succeed in creating something that fails!
Thank you for the TED talk and All the best for the surgery! I look forward to seeing more from you! The world, but mostly me, definitely needs it!
Simone, your Ted talk was excellent! Especially enjoyed the Googlie Eye shirt.
Be strong, be yourself on surgery day. Fall asleep thinking of the most awesome happy place.
The great meds will keep you in your happy place until it's over.
My son had a brain tumor which was considered inoperable but a fine surgeon disagreed
and so glad he was a champion much like yourself. The world is a better place with people
like you! Safe journey....until you're back on TH-cam!
Teddy GingerBear Maybe Google should sponsor mass production of this shirt? 🤔
Yay new video! It felt like the whole internet was waiting for this!
I would buy one of those eye pendants that Adam was wearing so I can support with the surgery
You are the coolest person on the internet I swear
As someone who suffers from some performance anxiety, your Ted Talk gave me some good feels... It's helpful to know that it doesn't always have to be perfect to be successful. You're doing a great job!
Just finished watching the talk. You were phenomenal. Good luck with the surgery. You will be in my thoughts on the 30th. May the advancements of medical science be with you.
God bless you in this surgery.
Power to you Simone!!!😘😘😘 1.1million positive vibes coming your way now and May30!!!!!
I’m 60% sure the googley eyes shirt was just you drunk purchased 1000 on amazon and needed to do something with them 😂
123 456 You don't know me.
"The thing is I'm very productive when I procrastinate... just in areas that are completely irrelevant."
THE description of my life :D
Then you should really read "The Procrastination Matrix" on waitbutwhy.com
I pray that you had nothing to do with building any of the machine they will use in the hospital. We are all sending you love and support for your surgery and (hopefully) full recovery
imo
What you've done to deserve people caring about you?
Oh...spread a combination of joy and intelligence around in a world where both are rare.
Good luck in the surgery...prayers rise like smoke.
imo
You are Amazing! I love all your videos, I send you all the best and look forward to hearing from you post surgery. Congratulations on your Ted Talk Simone, that's an incredible achievement . Thank You!
I'm procrastinating studying for my final right now! 🙃
Simone, you just can't stop making brain tumor jokes, can you? It's like it's always in your head.
Man
Did not hit lol
Damn
You have a great sense of tumor
Just watched the TED. You're so fucking brilliant. Being familiar with your current posts, I'm glad you beat the fucking tumor. Please stay alive and continue learning.
Yeah, yeah. The TED talk was awesome and amazing and all that and you did a really great job not having shaky hands during it and not forgetting the words and being an inspiration and standing ovation and blah blah blah but can we talk about THAT GOOGLEY EYE SHIRT?!!!! Thoroughly amazing. Just like you!
I wish I could give this more than just one thumbs up. And as someone else mentioned, someone needs to make googley eye badges so we can all buy one and then meet random Simone supporters.
Sending as much scientific positive thoughts or vibrations or wishes or random acts of kindness your way Simone.
I study abroad in Vancouver and I had no idea my school was so close to the TED talk building. Had I known I would have definitely come to your TED talk.
i just fight off brain tumour not long ago, it ruined my degree almost completely but I'm happy that I'm well again. Now I'm more certain who I want to be afterward.
I watched the talk and you're still the funny you! love you so much!
Had to watch the talk now, and laughed all the way through. You were a little nervous, but you pushed through it, and even incorporated that nervousness into the talk - it was awesome, and so are you. Thank you!
"Maybe you're procrastinating something by watching me procrastine."
How dare you viciously attack me with the truth?
“Maybe you’re procrastinating something by watching me procrastinate”.
Yes Simone, I have an important exam tomorrow morning and that is exactly what I’m doing.
Me too, I should be sleeping like, right now. But Simone's channel is priority #1
Same, trying not do my homework lol.
You're a vlogger now!
Looking forward to seeing more videos after the 30th :)
I don't normally comment on videos, but after watching that TED talk, as an engineer who admires the work of science communicators, what a great talk! 🙌 Both the script, and the delivery. Excellent. With the proper dose of "simoney-ness" off-scripting slipped in. 👌 Perfectly encompassed everything about Simone in 11 minutes.
I watched the TED talk and was pretty disappointed that there wasn't more reactions and cheers from the audience. You rock! All the best with the surgery!!
haha seriously! my Alexa totally answered you questioned about the weight conversion. That has got to be a new' mess with your viewers thing'. Just yell weird commands to Alexa during your video. Great talk by the way
Glad you can keep the humor and hope everything works out ok
Get well soon Simone, we're all cheering for you!
I just stumbled across the Ted talk, you did a great job!! I laughed, I cried. (ok, just laughed) I think that is the most addictive aspect of your videos-your enthusiasm and "let's just have fun" mentality.
AWESOME to see you appear on an Australian TV ad this week!!! 👍👍👍
Person introducing Simone: She's here to tell us why we should all be more comfortable when making things that are a bit *rubbish* , please welcome Simone *G I E R T Z*
Are you trying to say she pronounced Simone's name incorrectly? It is not pronounced how it looks. Simone has talked about that in her videos. They got it right, or close to it.
Mycel the ted announcer clearly said “geerts”. Her name is pronounced “yetch”.
TheAndrew0085 that's my point this whole time lol.
Simone, I will pray for your quick recovery, also you did an awesome job on TED, perfect presentation. Have someone get on after your operation on May 30th and let us know how your doing.
Okay but the googly eye top is absolute goals
Adam had one of the googly eyes pinned to his shirt. That's amazing.
Saw your TED talk yesterday! Not only surprised you went through with it considering the circumstances, but so happy for!!!🤗
Scientific God bless your dear widdle head. Rooting for all to be well, and well.
Procrastinating by whaching this video? Nah don't worry Simone the 15-20 page essay I haven't started yet is only due for This Friday.
Bernardo Moreira get to work bernardo!!!
Yay you are back , how are you doing . Just wanted to let you know I’m praying for you and your recovery
You are a gift to our world and we are cheering you on! Thank you Simone for just being you and sharing you with little old us!!
The TED Talk was great and very inspiring. I think a lot of us never realize that fear is one of the biggest influences in our lives, causing us to change direction and often not in the right direction...well said Simone....thanks and Best Wishes!!!
Hope you feel better!
Justin Y. Justin, why are you everywhere? Do you like the same things like me or wtf is with you
Are you a freaking bot?
You just like the same things as me. That's why you see me a lot. That's why a lot of people see me.
im pretty sure he or she or they are
Justin Y. First time i have seen you with less than 100 likes gfg
Simone never forget #TumorHumour Love from Finland
Stoplayers What, Finland doesn't exist
Lol when she said "alexa" my alexa turned on and answered the question
really? haha. that's funny. :)
a Andrew? Same here I was so confused
aww robot friends
Best of luck, Simone! You're an absolute treasure of a person. Congrats on your TED Talk!
Best of luck with the surgery, Simone. Your talk was great and this behind-the-scenes was a lot of fun.
Your videos always make my day, best wishes! and congratulations on your ted talk!
Honestly, you are my favorite person ever
Great video. I think that shirt turned out great. I wish you the best. Surgeons are really great people. They do know what they are doing. The weirdest thing is you don't know anything about it. I woke up after 7.5 hours of surgery and was happy as being out on a beautiful spring day as I was alive. The anesthesiology keeps you under for the precise amount of time. You will appreciate them when you see the bill. Unfortunately these stock exchanged owned hospitals take 25% of the cut of everything. Dell hospital here in Austin has a better ratio. I hope your surgery goes as well as mine did. 14 months later I am just about done with the chemo and all of its little side effects. Good luck and get things in order and you will have a great appreciation of what is important in life. I would like to see your videos after. The healing process is pretty fast for getting you back to being alive but there are many things that you think about each day for months. Please document those for yourself and have them when you feel you can share them. I have alot of footage I took that I only showed to 1 or 2 people but intend to help others with it that are facing the big black abyss or so they worry about. REMEMBER Attitude is 50% of the healing process!
Holy shit the talk was amazing. I also have performance anxiety and I'm amazed how you turned things around. Speaking of turning things around, all the best for your surgery!
Your speech was amazing. Please get well. The world needs you and I wish you all the best for many years.
I am procrastinating from homework by using a weird circle knitting loom thing and watching you at the same time.
When the lady scanned your tags it made the TED waterdrop sound 🤣
Simone: Are you nervous?
Mom: I'm hungry.
Me: Same, mom.. SAME!!
I usually don't care for TED Talks, but when I saw yours show up on my feed, clicked super fast! I really enjoyed it :) thanks for sharing the message.
You’re in my prayers! It will be ok we will remain positive! Bless you Simone!
Love you! You will be victorious!
Sending you ALL the scientific prayers, Simone!! Lycka till med operation!
There arn't any scientific prayers ... O wait you point is you don't give a f about her.
Nice...
I never imagined a googly eyes shirt to be so stylish! Maybe you could start to design freaky fashion. I guess everybody would love that!
Hello Bye Geeky fashion would be great. Wearables etc.!
I really do hope eveything gets ok after the surgery. I saw your TED, then started to follow at the social media channels and I think you're amazing. It's very important to have someone like you in the world, so please don't die. And get a quick recovery!
My mom has had health issues since birth and as I always tell her when she goes in for a surgery or procedure, you'll be fine 😁... Then I give her a big, reassuring hug! 🤗🤗
I've been told, I give the best hugs!
You are so awesome, girl!
simone: **snaps wildly**
me: **traumatized after IW**
Summer Toney too soon
That shirt is oddly amazing. I thought it was going to look dumb. Well done
Prayers, good thoughts, and all the best to you. I started watching TH-cam videos when I was recovering from a motorcycle accident. Engineering note, never whether on purpose, or accident shift from third to first, and let the clutch out at 40 mph. Bad things happen. Anyway I’ve come to love, and appreciate the talent, and energy many put into their videos. You’ve now become my favorite. It is your genuineness, and honesty that make you the star you are. I’ll be following your progress.
Simone you've given my fav ted talk of all the ted talks i've listened to.
