My grandma lived in Mullen, Texas. Every year during tarantula mating season I refused to go outside, because they were EVERYWHERE. On the cars, on the street, in the trees... I would rather sit in a room with adults and no tv than deal with giant spiders, thank you very much.
Just gonna nope myself away from mullen Texas then. Nothing against any of you, but I'm terrified of spiders normally, which is worse when they're large and hairy. Anything with more than 4 legs is an abomination
About 20 years ago I lost my voice and had several other symptoms of something my doctor couldn’t figure out. After going to 3 different specialists it was discovered that I was suffering from mercury poisoning. I had been eating a tuna sandwich everyday for a couple of months. I stopped eating fish all together and after about 6 weeks I regained my voice and the other symptoms went away as well. To this day I avoid eating tuna
I have no desire to go into space. Hats off to those that do but it sounds abysmal (and claustrophobic). I’ll wait until it reflects the relative comfort reflected in sci-fi.
Fun fact for all the pedants out there, tarantulas aren't poisonous at all, but they are venomous. Poison is either swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin while venom is actively injected via a bite or sting. Tarantula venom isn't particularly potent or dangerous but you'd still probably want to avoid it if possible.
So when he said they aren't poisonous, he was being a regular person who doesn't give a crap that some people don't think venom is poisonous to people, and was also being stupid because they are venomous which means we do get poisoned by them, speaking in laymen's terms.
David Hovezak I would take 2, they're small. A certain scumbag whose name I will not mention, and will probably never forgive, drove my 2 babies to the middle of innercity Cleveland and set them loose. They were bro and sis, 4 mo old. They were gorgeous, all black but proportioned like Siamese. Mom abandoned them @ 2 weeks and I weaned them on formula. They barely escaped death but made it. She lied to my gf an said I took them somewhere, but her 11 yr old daughter whom she took along for the ride!!! crying, told us the truth. They've never even been outdoors till that time. Maybe this is not the place, but I need fuzzle face in my life. I just hope some kind old lady took them in to pamper..
David Hovezak and the sad thing is sometimes you can pull 60 from a hoarder house or if you get a colony! Kitten season really sucks I hate it! Just fostered 16 kittens that were found in abandoned building and were just delivered to Animal Friends in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for adoption the other day! Wonderful organization doing wonderful things... Shameless plug! 😂😘😜😘😊
there’s a farm road in california between salinas and SLO my girlfriend and i were driving on a motorcycle. the road was covered with thousand and thousands of pine cones for miles... which was odd because there weren’t a lot of trees. it was tarantula mating season.
My husband were shopping at a jewelry store a few years ago when I asked to see a bracelet. The lady who was waiting on us had been smiling, and now she just started grinning. I didn't know why. She opened the case, reached in, and very gently nudged a BIGASS TARANTULA out of the way so she could get to the bracelet. I shrieked, jumped 5 feet backwards, started crying, and peed just a little bit. 😂😂 I'm terrified of spiders, but never even saw that enormous demon from hell till he moved. After I got a grip on myself, she explained to us that they had been having trouble with people actually reaching over and stealing things out of the cases while a friend distracted the worker. This was their answer, and it hadn't happened a single time since they'd gotten the EIGHT tarantulas... One for each case. Now I know they're not venomous, but they're huge, and they're hairy, and I swear I heard one say my name, so I wasn't about to argue with anything that nice lady was telling me. I got my first diamond bracelet that day, blessed by Rosie the Bigass Tarantula. I still get the creeps remembering all those gigantic spiders guarding all those sparklies.
That’s simultaneously hilarious, and also creepy as all hell for a reason I can’t quite put my finger on...perhaps maybe because when I read your story, I’d just finished watching Hereditary by Ari Aster and am now terrified of the eerie smiles of gray haired ladies. On a side note, being someone who majored in communications, and spent the majority of my adult life working in various positions to increase sales, customer retention, maximizing/minimizing positive/negative social media presence in large wholesale companies as well as small mom and pop shops; I could say the tarantula “guard dog” of jewelry product idea is quite possibly the worst idea for ways to reduce theft. There’s people with legitimate phobias to any kind of bugs, let alone horrifying demon spiders from satan’s lair of diabolical goodies. They were lucky you happened to be a rational, reasonable, mentally stable individual who understood what they were doing was not conceived with malicious intent. I guarantee you there are people out there dreaming of a lawsuit as perfect as this business has set its own trap for to be litigated. There’s people who would sue due to real mental distress from diagnosed phobias, and these are of course not the people I’m referring to as lunatics dreaming of lawsuits. I’m referring to the type of people who show up in court looking like a parody of why the country is always knocked for the ability of one person to sue another for any merit less reason they can come up with, or at least the best one their ambulance chasing lawyer instills in their mind. A payday for all and the death of another small business who’s storefront will go vacant for 1.5 yrs until the entire strip is bought by Walmart and we can all enjoy true corporate love for small American cities and towns begging to be exploited and sucked up of culture and wealth at which time they shut down and find the next jewelry shop keeping merchandise safe with signs reading “merchandise protected by exposure to smallpox victim”
I would have to quit my damn job...creepy AF. Can tarantulas lay eggs in things? Like if someone got jewelry and it was infested...or what if the tarantula was mad at being locked up and went HAM on some poor worker...or someone has a heart attack because they are afraid...ick. Ick.
That story is awesome, hilarious, and terrifying! Where in the world was this "creepy crawly" jewelry store?!?! I'm picturing some outdoor market in South America or something?!
I'm scared of spiders too and I'm a 230 lb bodybuilder. So don't feel bad lol but if I was a jewelry thief I'll be damned if that spider would keep me from grabbing that!!! one time a large wolf spider fell on my head when I was soaking in the bathtub I kicked half the water out of that bathtub before I figured out what was going on. I feel bad because I killed the spider. My girlfriend laughed so hard she couldn't talk for 10 minutes. I got even with her with a rubber tarantula in her makeup case. But what are the odds you're sit there soaking in the bathtub and a spider falls on your head. Honestly if it didn't happen to me I would call b*******
If more rattlesnakes without effective rattles are breathing causing a higher population of a rattleless rattlesnake, that doesn't mean it's an evolutionary change it's just one form of the species is outbreeding another form.
@@tonystanney3804: No. Because the creatures not changing over time, it's just reproducing more of itself. As I understand evolution, which is something I do not subscribe to, is the change of a single organism type over time. If you're simply reproducing more of the same organism over and over that's not evolution, that's simply reproduction.
@@charlessands6933 you misunderstand evolution. Probably why you don't subscribe to it. There's nothing wrong with changing your mind based on new info. See what else you can research about it but with a completely open mind.

I grew up in the desert southwest, and the tarantula mating season is sort of neat. I'm not particularly afraid of spiders, so when they came through our ranch we'd just keep an eye out for them like we did for scorpions and snakes. They weren't aggressive and would ride around on your shoulder if you wished. The worst part was driving-- there was no way to avoid them and they would be pretty thick at times. Squashing the poor things made us feel pretty low so we minimized our driving for the short time they were traveling.
I must admit that I am confused about HOW can any "Rattlesnake" can be seen and be "known about", and then be added into a BUNCHA "rattle snakes" line of commentary here on this video? REALLY, most people will be VERY HAPPY to avoid having to talk about Sex AND SNAKES.
I live on the Utah/ Nevada/ Arizona border and I can attest! Rattlesnakes have stopped rattling. You really have to agitate them. I find 10-20 a summer while hiking. And the tarantula is true, they are driven by the drive to mate and walk across restaurant patios and pretty much everywhere freaking people out. I find it hilarious.
2:10 err... The US hasn't outlawed slavery at all. There are a lot of slaves right now, at least 58000. They are working very hard for nothing or just cents . Even when you look into the US constitution, slavery is still allowed - for prisoners.
Try New Mexico! I registered my vehicle and called my insurance company to get some info; in the course of the conversation I discovered that my chances of a collision with a drunk driver just doubled. As you point out, every other jerkoff is also texting, mainly "youths" who are... hmmm... less than cognitively complex. On top of the Mojave Greens and black widows, hantavirus and the massive, haunting cold case backlog there are corrupt government officials galore. I won't even get into the prevalence of home invasions, heroine, crusty/neohippies or dope growers. Rattlesnakes are actually pleasant, peaceful creatures that (understandably) want to be left alone (I can relate on that score).
I drove past bus stop last week Every single person(at least 20) were staring at their phone.... Sad really And yes so many dead due to texting and driving
Dude I live in Scottsdale, Arizona...not out in nowhere....major streets nearby.....a real nice development with homes all around me with quarter acre lots...so people everywhere 👨👩👧👦👨👩👧👦 I found a 4 foot rattlesnake in my damn kitchen!!!! 🐍 I know we are in the desert so it's a little ways a possibility....but damnnnn my kitchen!!! 😱😳😱😳😱 I had just vacuumed that room, didn't have my glasses on & thought the dogs must have brought one of their toy stuffies in I was hardly paying attention & started to PICK IT UP didn't touch it but leaned down to when I thought it looked like a 🐍 🐍 🐍 I ran out of the room & got all 4 of my dogs into the bedroom closed up....my pit walked right next to it but never saw it 😬 3 small Mexican hairless pups all didn't see it either (I'm beyond grateful they didn't) This little pack is top notch usually too so couldn't believe they hadn't noticed it yet 🐕🐕🐕 My glasses were behind the damm snake so I still wasn't positive it was a snake Then I came back from putting dogs away & it had moved! That f*cker was curled up like in a movie looking at me 🐍 I didn't need glasses for that sh*t & I jumped on top of the counter like Wonder Woman Then jumped across counters to get my cell I called fire dept cause Google said to.... They usually just move the snake over your fence or to a nearby area less than a mile away from where found by law I was told...WHAT? So, we can do this again in an hour...wtf? 🤯 Makes ZERO SENSE all these houses have kids playing in yards & pets! We live in a desert...why not put it them just outside of town? 🤷 Aren't they dangerous I asked him...yes, a hicker got bit last month & died I was told A few dogs this season too he added.... WHAT ARE WE DOING THIS FOR? I called rattlesnake dude for $100 he came & got it I gave him an extra $100 to take it within an inch of that mile as far as he legally can! Also, for him to put my # in his cell & promise to answer if I ever call him! He got there, walked in, saw snake said "oh wow, that's a f'ing rattlesnake I bet 4 feet long I gotta go back to the truck....I thought you were just being a girl & I'd find a garden snake" Did I sound like I didn't know a rattle when it was shakin at me??? 🤯🤯🤯 (sorry so long....was one of my more sureal experiences ever!) Sooooo, yeah Robert you should definitely be concerned about rattlesnakes ! 🐍 😘 🐍
Yes, the tuna in Mercury. Like the haddock on Jupiter and mullet from Mars. Wait,... mullet,... "2 minutes to midnight",... I suddenly have an overwhelming urge to listen to Iron Maiden. Good day.
As to the “ no kill shelters” I’ve personally found that it seems they sometimes don’t really want to adopt pets out...I understand wanting approved safe homes for these pets but some of these “ guidelines “ could not possibly be met by anyone. I’ve dealt with several shelters in recent years that keep finding more “ rules and guidelines “ every time one is met. I have ALOT of love to offer but have been denied every time😢
PETA's shelters are like that! According to PETA's own numbers, they killed 60% of their "rescued" animals. A few shelters were as high as 95%!!! The truth is that PETA sees pets as a form of animal slavery, and they would be happier if none of us had pets. They're fking insane!
As far as number 2, ask around your workplace, and find someone who sells eggs from their OWN chickens. I've been able to find them for $3/dozen. Even in a big city, you may find someone. You can also ask around a farmers markets.
the company that sold them the chickens will be doing the exact same things though, people dont want to buy males because they dont lay eggs and they'll fertilise the ones the females lay...the solution is just not to eat eggs
The thing that surprises me is that there are people that will abandon a pet. There will always be a few people like that, but so many that we can't keep up with the overflow boggles my mind.
Every doggo in my life was that way. My parents even got the "damaged ones" since I was a toddler. Something about getting a second chance in life, even with a loyal critter, must be HUGE to them.
C Conroy Mine was a rescue from a shelter. She has 2 broken paws fractured skull ans broken rips. Pug mix. 6 mo. Old. I visited her evrry day until she was healty and had surgeory. Now, 6 years later shes a fat happy burrito.
I saw a documentary of it before. The Doomsday Clock is basically a really cool name for just a theory. Frankly, it was devilled during the Cold War, and I didn't even know it actually continues to this day. In other words, they went from the US or Russia nuking each other, to what, global warming basically?
Genius doesnt mean they aren't flawed, thats why various theories have been debunked in science over the past century. That's what some scientist do for a living.

I don't think Simon really understands the cause of the lead problem in Flint and the other American lead hotspots. Its not an issue of lead paint. Its lead used in the plumbing infrastructure, both in the main lines and in the individual buildings. Usually its not an issue if the water is treated with certain chemicals to prevent leaching. Flint became a problem when a decision to change to a cheaper water source (and more importantly, forego the chemical treatments) meant that the new water source resulted in lead leaching into the drinking water. The potential concern is that other cities could be vulnerable to this same leaching. And... maintaining and fixing drinking water infastructure is an issue for state and local governments to maintain, not a duty of the Federal government. Which isn't an issue for economically healthy cities that can afford to maintain their own infastructure. Its problematic for economically poor and struggling towns. Like Flint.
Also, some cities or areas are so large that replacing all the pipes in the ground would bankrupt them. An example would be Los Angeles or Southern California as a whole.
Here in West Texas the rattle snakes sometimes won't rattle, because it gives them away to feral hogs that love to eat them. You still find rattlers in and around town that rattle, but you need to be extra alert if you are in hog territory. I've never come across one that didn't rattle, but due to my bad hearing I can't here them anymore anyway.
My dad found one here in Oregon many decades back. Obviously a rattlesnake, but he could not see a rattle at all. I'm very pro-animals, but that bastard had to be removed from the gene pool.
the bright flash of light inside the brain, described by astronauts ,reminds me of a rather dareing experiment i did on myself when i was in my teens. i connected a pair of wires to a 9 volt battery, wet my temples with spit then rapidly touched the ends of the wires to my temples, several times. i saw vivid flashes of light behind my eyes, & felt slightly dizzy, as the electricity passed through my brain! i only did it once, & i was OK afterwards.
@@samanthastanton7649 yeah, that was what i did to get my first proper electric shock( as in with current, rather than just static electricity), but i was always a bit of a tough, tomboy type, who liked doing dareing or frightening things, especialy to myself, as that made me feel brave & tough!, so i decided to be realy dareing & take the electricity through my brain! probably not as harmful as stuff like cannabis or LSD, anyway. i never tried drugs, as i didden't want to end up as an addict, depending on them.
As bad as cannabis😂😂😂 oh honey, weed is nothing 😂😂😂 electric shock to the brain is soooo much worse 😂😂😂 and weed isn’t a dependent like meth or cocaine. LSD depends on you really.
It pisses me off to no end when people get a pet and don't spay or neuter it. If you are not a licensed, professional, humane breeder, fix your damn animals! And stop saying it's too expensive. If you can't afford to fix your pet, you obviously are not in a position to have one. There are literally hundreds of low cost spay and neuter clinics in the US.

I used to live in a small Arizona town called Safford years ago..when I was in fourth grade. My dad took us on a drive up My. Graham and there were huge HUGE tarantulas crossing the road at different parts...scared the stuffing out of me.
Haha. 'No Kill' Shelters are allowed to kill 10% of the animals they take in and still keep this designation. Shouldn't they be designated 'Only Kill A Few' Shelters then? It is euphemism gone stark raving mad, I tell you! (😉)
It's a typical bureaucratic definition. The same kind of definitions are used in other, maybe less harmful contexts, e.g. if some food is designated as being "free from X", it actually means that it can contain a maximum amount of X.
My dad used to work closely with a no kill shelter. If it’s overpopulated they transfer to kill shelters. Kill shelters are the ones that euthanize overpopulation from other no kill shelters
Little info for those of you who don't know, I took my little boy to get a tarantula and we weren't able to get one because he had only been stung by a bee once. The way you know if you will have a reaction to a tarantula is if you are allergic to bees and react to bee stings then you will have a reaction to a tarantula we were told and the only way to know if you are allergic to bees is to be stung twice! You won't react from the first sting you have, only the second sting will tell you for certain if you have an allergy.
Go catch a honey bee (slowly envelope one with your hand while it is on a bloom, but make sure you don't leave any spaces where your fingers close because it does not need much space to crawl out and fly away). Then try to induce it to sting your boy. This is the hard part because they are not aggressive at all unless you are near the hive. Maybe smear some honey on him??? I don't really know. I only got stung a few times on the bottom of my foot as a kid because sometimes I would unwittingly stand on one in the spring while it was on some low lying white clover which was very plentiful where I lived. A solitary bee sting hardly hurts at all, nothing like a yellow jacket sting which is very painful, so if you could not get the bee to sting your child any other way, you could have him stand on the bee, although not enough to crush it of course, just to make it alarmed but still mobile enough to sting. Bees die after they sting someone, which may be why they are so unaggressive.
Going to space not only sounds like a really stupid idea but a wasteful one at that. As much as I love looking at the stars and astrology, going into space and or putting anything into space has always been a super stupid thing that we never should have done. The amount of people in the world who are on antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications should show that we have a hard enough time coping with being on Earth, let alone out in space.
The fact of the matter is that someday this planet will become uninhabitable for humans and since the technology required to colonize other planets is a very long way off, if we don't start now the human race WILL become extinct.
You shouldn't really love astrology, i must point out. And you can't stop human curiosity. We have millions of problems worldwide, attributed to international and cultural differences, yet we are able to agree to coexist peacefully in space (ISS, for example). Space exploration has been the most unifying thing in modern history. If in space why not on earth? Why is it stupid to want to know your surroundings? We can't become a species of agoraphobic people desperately hiding from the outside world. If we do we might as well commit mass extinction ourselves right now. Humans have always been explorers, that's one of the key things that separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. Most animals just fight for survival so they can procreate, that's the whole of their existence. We, on the other hand, have always been interested in the unknown, whether the highs of the sky, the depths of the ocean or distant continents/islands etc. And space is the most unknown unknown that we know of (ha, funny word play). So it stands to reason that we want to know what's out there whether or not it's for personal gain or loss. We simply have to know. That's why you're watching this video, of which the title is ".. facts you really didn't want to know". If you didn't want to know these facts, you wouldn't have clicked on the video and watched it, you were curious as to what these facts might be.
IB: Think it would be kinda cool if humanity DID attempt to emigrate to space--and the aliens rose up as one and said, "Hell, no! You've already spoiled ONE planet! Keep your toxic garbage where it is--or else!"

It might explain the limb growing out the back of my head, but it doesn't help explain why there is an eyeball on my knee.

But it's unnerving when I've gotta poop, and I can see something watching me.. and it's my own knee.
I have a nephew who did drugs in his youth. He is now a minister. 2 of his 3 children were born with birth defects and he always wondered if doing drugs in his youth was a reason for their defects?

"Slavery will be gone in 30 years." Does this mean there'll be no Gypsies? It's an inherent part of Gypsy culture to have "chichkas", despised slaves who do the most inferior jobs for their owners. They are not considered humans, kept in pens like animals, frequently beaten and often forced to work until they collapse. Police releases hundreds of "chichkas" in East European countries every year. Kidnapping young girls - mostly also Gypsies - as sex slaves is also very common. Don't think that it happens in some remote places stuck in the Middle Ages. My parents live in a modern apartment building in Budapest, and the police discovered a sex slave den in one of the apartments after a naked girl jumped from the 4th floor. There were three others chained to the radiators inside.
You need to do a bit more research on the issues of pet population. First, the kill rate for shelter animals has dropped from something like 30 million in the 80s to less than 2 million a year in the US. Second, rescues are importing literally hundreds of thousands of dogs from foreign countries to resell. The current fad pet to have is a meat market dog. Most of those o called meat market dogs are being bred in super substandard conditions in a country with little animal welfare laws to sell to rescuers. It has actually increased cruelty in that aspect. Third, those same dogs are bringing in diseases that are killing dogs in this country. The Asian dog flu came from Asia, hello. There is a new strain of distemper also coming out of Asia that we have no vaccine for. AND there is an infestation of Asian Long Horn Ticks in New Jersey, which is more than likely because of Asian dog imports, as there is zero evidence of any other livestock from areas where this is endemic being imported. This is not even mentioning the falsified rabies shots that have caused rabid puppies and kittens to be brought to the US. Fourth. There are rescues that are buying puppies from these so called puppy mills, and then reselling them. Not old, worn out dogs, but WHOLE LITTERS OF PUPPIES and pregnant females. One rescue paid 28 THOUSAND dollars for TWO cavalier king charles spaniels. How is that putting high volume kennels out of business? Not only that, but these rescues are buying highly desirable dogs in the form of the above mentioned CKC, French bulldogs, and designer breeds. Fifth. The number of available dogs that are desired by the public is so low, that you can be promised of responsible breeders being raided and having their dogs stolen to be resold. Have a look at how clean and friendly some of these dogs are. If these dogs were so neglected, why are some of them being offered for sale withing DAYS of being seized? Remember, the number of healthy adoptable pets being killed yearly in the US us under 2 million. If those rescues would work with the shelters to get them homes, instead of using dogs to make money (they are non profit, remember), that number would drop even further. In the meanwhile, they are using public opinion to literally corner the market, forcing people to buy their dogs, and vilifying their competition, which is not just the high volume USDA breeder, but the show breeder who spends thousands on each dog insuring their health. This, by the way, is not reflected on reputable and responsible rescues. Just the ones that are hypocrites.
I used to work at an animal shelter for one of the counties in New Jersey, which is where I learned that a no-kill shelter simply means they will not kill the animal on premises because they do not have the right vets or text to do so . They are allowed to ship their animals to shelters with vets that are capable of putting animals down, do not be fooled by the term no kill shelter
I love tarantulas and had one as a pet for a while. My friends stopped coming over to my place during that time lol. I only got bitten once and it was my fault during a poor handling episode. Other than that it was very docile and would just chill in my hand, or crawl on my arm.
About those Tarantulas, you now live in Prague, so you should definitely visit the Tarantula Museum, it's been a decade since I last went, but even then they already had over 100 different species, and yeah, obviously all those species were alive 😜

Hi~I am a Flint resident and i wanna say this much about the water...it is this...alot of us were not going to drink or use that Flint river water..that river..omg...has had every toxic thing...ie...GM dumped there, so many dead bodies in there ovr the years and I kid you not...the fish were deformed, three eyes and double finned....no..many, in fact did not and would not ingest such deadly filth...but those who did, they are of the set that believed the scumbags who allowed this mass poisoning..that made a lot of people, the kids really sick and damaged for their lifetime and their generations to follow...a bunch died too..just so sad. Flint became the model for thousands of american cities that were built up new during the boom in the fifties and basically ignored the decomposing infrastructure..no real upgrades for the systems that delivered water to homes and businesses. Yes, they are still replacing pipes and switching out the water plant systems...but, here is the thing...it is just too late given all the damage it caused. Test your own water wherever it is you live...just do it, and then you will know...what you drink, cook with and bath in...ya hear me? Thanks! Kim M.

If you bite the tarantula, it may very well be “poisonous”... and you’d be nuts to try it. 🕷

@Robert D , OMF#@$KG! Were in Arizona and what time of the year do they gather to mate?
🤣 Well YES that would be a worry. Although i wasn't sure IF that was a hairy spider with a tail or not. 😨🕷🐍🧳🛸
I have no desire to go into space. Hats off to those that do but it sounds abysmal (and claustrophobic). I’ll wait until it reflects the relative comfort reflected in sci-fi.
So, Gravity was not a fun film for you to watch then, I'm guessing.
I find the idea peaceful. Put me in coach.
Fun fact for all the pedants out there, tarantulas aren't poisonous at all, but they are venomous. Poison is either swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin while venom is actively injected via a bite or sting. Tarantula venom isn't particularly potent or dangerous but you'd still probably want to avoid it if possible.
Very basic way to think of it is you eat poison. Venom eats you.
MalFunctionality thanks. I needed this exact fact.
@@purestqi happy to be of help ;)
So when he said they aren't poisonous, he was being a regular person who doesn't give a crap that some people don't think venom is poisonous to people, and was also being stupid because they are venomous which means we do get poisoned by them, speaking in laymen's terms.
I HATE SPIDERS ESPECIALLY TARANTULAS AND WOLF SPIDERS VENOM OR POISON I HATE THEM
Thank you for #4. I work in a small rescue and we have seen over 60 kittens come through our doors this season and the season is not over.
David Hovezak that's so sad :(. Thank you for your work and hopefully more people rescue instead of going to a breeder.
David Hovezak I would take 2, they're small. A certain scumbag whose name I will not mention, and will probably never forgive, drove my 2 babies to the middle of innercity Cleveland and set them loose. They were bro and sis, 4 mo old. They were gorgeous, all black but proportioned like Siamese. Mom abandoned them @ 2 weeks and I weaned them on formula. They barely escaped death but made it. She lied to my gf an said I took them somewhere, but her 11 yr old daughter whom she took along for the ride!!! crying, told us the truth. They've never even been outdoors till that time. Maybe this is not the place, but I need fuzzle face in my life. I just hope some kind old lady took them in to pamper..
David Hovezak and the sad thing is sometimes you can pull 60 from a hoarder house or if you get a colony! Kitten season really sucks I hate it! Just fostered 16 kittens that were found in abandoned building and were just delivered to Animal Friends in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for adoption the other day! Wonderful organization doing wonderful things... Shameless plug! 😂😘😜😘😊
Lock the door.
Save the kittens from euthanasia and the baby chicks from being ground up alive. Love ALL animals, not just pets.
As he was talking about the tarantula one, my foot brushed against my cat and I got scared af.
Nearly leapt out of my bed.
😳
there’s a farm road in california between salinas and SLO my girlfriend and i were driving on a motorcycle. the road was covered with thousand and thousands of pine cones for miles... which was odd because there weren’t a lot of trees.
it was tarantula mating season.
That is horrid.
Oh no you must have killed tons...
😱
What's SLO
Ewww and on a motorcycle! 🏍
i held my adopted kitties tight when he was talking about the "No-Kill shelters" ADOPT DONT SHOP
Love my rescue! 3rd owner and definitely the last.

I have kittens and some of them are sick. Pray for them please. Thanks
so..... let the animals at the store suffer and go unwanted? uhm..... they are living beings as well. adopt and shop. Its possible to do both
@@doctorkotton7010 That's a fair point. However, if people stop buying pets, people will stop breeding and selling them.
immediately scrolled to the comments after he said "the tuna in murcury"
Me too
Lol I paused, rewound and then came to the comment section lol😅😅
I prefer my mercury free of tuna
Got 'em
that's exactly what i did :-D
My husband were shopping at a jewelry store a few years ago when I asked to see a bracelet. The lady who was waiting on us had been smiling, and now she just started grinning. I didn't know why. She opened the case, reached in, and very gently nudged a BIGASS TARANTULA out of the way so she could get to the bracelet. I shrieked, jumped 5 feet backwards, started crying, and peed just a little bit. 😂😂 I'm terrified of spiders, but never even saw that enormous demon from hell till he moved. After I got a grip on myself, she explained to us that they had been having trouble with people actually reaching over and stealing things out of the cases while a friend distracted the worker. This was their answer, and it hadn't happened a single time since they'd gotten the EIGHT tarantulas... One for each case. Now I know they're not venomous, but they're huge, and they're hairy, and I swear I heard one say my name, so I wasn't about to argue with anything that nice lady was telling me. I got my first diamond bracelet that day, blessed by Rosie the Bigass Tarantula. I still get the creeps remembering all those gigantic spiders guarding all those sparklies.
That’s simultaneously hilarious, and also creepy as all hell for a reason I can’t quite put my finger on...perhaps maybe because when I read your story, I’d just finished watching Hereditary by Ari Aster and am now terrified of the eerie smiles of gray haired ladies.
On a side note, being someone who majored in communications, and spent the majority of my adult life working in various positions to increase sales, customer retention, maximizing/minimizing positive/negative social media presence in large wholesale companies as well as small mom and pop shops; I could say the tarantula “guard dog” of jewelry product idea is quite possibly the worst idea for ways to reduce theft.
There’s people with legitimate phobias to any kind of bugs, let alone horrifying demon spiders from satan’s lair of diabolical goodies. They were lucky you happened to be a rational, reasonable, mentally stable individual who understood what they were doing was not conceived with malicious intent. I guarantee you there are people out there dreaming of a lawsuit as perfect as this business has set its own trap for to be litigated. There’s people who would sue due to real mental distress from diagnosed phobias, and these are of course not the people I’m referring to as lunatics dreaming of lawsuits. I’m referring to the type of people who show up in court looking like a parody of why the country is always knocked for the ability of one person to sue another for any merit less reason they can come up with, or at least the best one their ambulance chasing lawyer instills in their mind. A payday for all and the death of another small business who’s storefront will go vacant for 1.5 yrs until the entire strip is bought by Walmart and we can all enjoy true corporate love for small American cities and towns begging to be exploited and sucked up of culture and wealth at which time they shut down and find the next jewelry shop keeping merchandise safe with signs reading “merchandise protected by exposure to smallpox victim”
Hahaha! Too funny! But what an ingenious idea! Until someone like me comes in with more interest in stealing the tarantula than the jewellery! 😆 lol
I would have to quit my damn job...creepy AF. Can tarantulas lay eggs in things? Like if someone got jewelry and it was infested...or what if the tarantula was mad at being locked up and went HAM on some poor worker...or someone has a heart attack because they are afraid...ick. Ick.
That story is awesome, hilarious, and terrifying! Where in the world was this "creepy crawly" jewelry store?!?! I'm picturing some outdoor market in South America or something?!
I'm scared of spiders too and I'm a 230 lb bodybuilder. So don't feel bad lol but if I was a jewelry thief I'll be damned if that spider would keep me from grabbing that!!! one time a large wolf spider fell on my head when I was soaking in the bathtub I kicked half the water out of that bathtub before I figured out what was going on. I feel bad because I killed the spider. My girlfriend laughed so hard she couldn't talk for 10 minutes.
I got even with her with a rubber tarantula in her makeup case. But what are the odds you're sit there soaking in the bathtub and a spider falls on your head. Honestly if it didn't happen to me I would call b*******
At some point in the future there will be a Video explaining why Rattle Snakes are called Rattle Snakes if they don’t rattle.
If more rattlesnakes without effective rattles are breathing causing a higher population of a rattleless rattlesnake, that doesn't mean it's an evolutionary change it's just one form of the species is outbreeding another form.
Yes
@@charlessands6933 - Surely "one form of the species outbreeding another form" is the very definition of "evolutionary change"?
@@tonystanney3804: No. Because the creatures not changing over time, it's just reproducing more of itself. As I understand evolution, which is something I do not subscribe to, is the change of a single organism type over time. If you're simply reproducing more of the same organism over and over that's not evolution, that's simply reproduction.
@@charlessands6933 you misunderstand evolution. Probably why you don't subscribe to it. There's nothing wrong with changing your mind based on new info. See what else you can research about it but with a completely open mind.

I grew up in the desert southwest, and the tarantula mating season is sort of neat. I'm not particularly afraid of spiders, so when they came through our ranch we'd just keep an eye out for them like we did for scorpions and snakes. They weren't aggressive and would ride around on your shoulder if you wished. The worst part was driving-- there was no way to avoid them and they would be pretty thick at times. Squashing the poor things made us feel pretty low so we minimized our driving for the short time they were traveling.
That's messed up. Poor spiders. 😔
Thank you, you've made my day. I wish more people displayed such a noble respect for living creatures. Some human 'creatures' I'm unsure of, though.
rattlesnakes lose their rattle, what do we call them?

Dead.
the rattlesnakes not rattling is very true. I have encountered this several times in the last year on my ranch.
I live on the Utah/ Nevada/ Arizona border and I can attest! Rattlesnakes have stopped rattling. You really have to agitate them. I find 10-20 a summer while hiking. And the tarantula is true, they are driven by the drive to mate and walk across restaurant patios and pretty much everywhere freaking people out. I find it hilarious.
Yeah, you gotta watch out for that tuna contaminated mercury.

The US hasn't outlawed slavery at all. There are a lot of slaves right now, at least 58000. They are working very hard for nothing or just cents .
Even when you look into the US constitution, slavery is still allowed - for prisoners.
Half the drivers I see on the interstate are texting and I should be concerned about rattlesnakes?
Try New Mexico! I registered my vehicle and called my insurance company to get some info; in the course of the conversation I discovered that my chances of a collision with a drunk driver just doubled. As you point out, every other jerkoff is also texting, mainly "youths" who are... hmmm... less than cognitively complex. On top of the Mojave Greens and black widows, hantavirus and the massive, haunting cold case backlog there are corrupt government officials galore. I won't even get into the prevalence of home invasions, heroine, crusty/neohippies or dope growers. Rattlesnakes are actually pleasant, peaceful creatures that (understandably) want to be left alone (I can relate on that score).
I drove past bus stop last week
Every single person(at least 20) were staring at their phone....
Sad really
And yes so many dead due to texting and driving
Dude I live in Scottsdale, Arizona...not out in nowhere....major streets nearby.....a real nice development with homes all around me with quarter acre lots...so people everywhere 👨👩👧👦👨👩👧👦
I found a 4 foot rattlesnake in my damn kitchen!!!! 🐍
I know we are in the desert so it's a little ways a possibility....but damnnnn my kitchen!!!
😱😳😱😳😱
I had just vacuumed that room, didn't have my glasses on & thought the dogs must have brought one of their toy stuffies in
I was hardly paying attention & started to PICK IT UP didn't touch it but leaned down to when I thought it looked like a 🐍 🐍 🐍
I ran out of the room & got all 4 of my dogs into the bedroom closed up....my pit walked right next to it but never saw it 😬
3 small Mexican hairless pups all didn't see it either (I'm beyond grateful they didn't)
This little pack is top notch usually too so couldn't believe they hadn't noticed it yet 🐕🐕🐕
My glasses were behind the damm snake so I still wasn't positive it was a snake
Then I came back from putting dogs away & it had moved!
That f*cker was curled up like in a movie looking at me 🐍
I didn't need glasses for that sh*t & I jumped on top of the counter like Wonder Woman
Then jumped across counters to get my cell
I called fire dept cause Google said to....
They usually just move the snake over your fence or to a nearby area less than a mile away from where found by law I was told...WHAT?
So, we can do this again in an hour...wtf? 🤯
Makes ZERO SENSE all these houses have kids playing in yards & pets!
We live in a desert...why not put it them just outside of town? 🤷
Aren't they dangerous I asked him...yes, a hicker got bit last month & died I was told
A few dogs this season too he added....
WHAT ARE WE DOING THIS FOR?
I called rattlesnake dude for $100 he came & got it
I gave him an extra $100 to take it within an inch of that mile as far as he legally can!
Also, for him to put my # in his cell & promise to answer if I ever call him!
He got there, walked in, saw snake said "oh wow, that's a f'ing rattlesnake I bet 4 feet long I gotta go back to the truck....I thought you were just being a girl & I'd find a garden snake"
Did I sound like I didn't know a rattle when it was shakin at me??? 🤯🤯🤯
(sorry so long....was one of my more sureal experiences ever!)
Sooooo, yeah Robert you should definitely be concerned about rattlesnakes !

Thanks god I don't like eating Tuna to begin with.
As to the “ no kill shelters” I’ve personally found that it seems they sometimes don’t really want to adopt pets out...I understand wanting approved safe homes for these pets but some of these “ guidelines “ could not possibly be met by anyone. I’ve dealt with several shelters in recent years that keep finding more “ rules and guidelines “ every time one is met. I have ALOT of love to offer but have been denied every time😢
That seems unfair.
PETA's shelters are like that! According to PETA's own numbers, they killed 60% of their "rescued" animals. A few shelters were as high as 95%!!! The truth is that PETA sees pets as a form of animal slavery, and they would be happier if none of us had pets. They're fking insane!

As far as number 2, ask around your workplace, and find someone who sells eggs from their OWN chickens. I've been able to find them for $3/dozen. Even in a big city, you may find someone. You can also ask around a farmers markets.
Or just don’t eat eggs at all- they’re absolutely horrible for you
the company that sold them the chickens will be doing the exact same things though, people dont want to buy males because they dont lay eggs and they'll fertilise the ones the females lay...the solution is just not to eat eggs

I don't think Simon really understands the cause of the lead problem in Flint and the other American lead hotspots. Its not an issue of lead paint. Its lead used in the plumbing infrastructure, both in the main lines and in the individual buildings. Usually its not an issue if the water is treated with certain chemicals to prevent leaching. Flint became a problem when a decision to change to a cheaper water source (and more importantly, forego the chemical treatments) meant that the new water source resulted in lead leaching into the drinking water. The potential concern is that other cities could be vulnerable to this same leaching. And... maintaining and fixing drinking water infastructure is an issue for state and local governments to maintain, not a duty of the Federal government. Which isn't an issue for economically healthy cities that can afford to maintain their own infastructure. Its problematic for economically poor and struggling towns. Like Flint.
Also, some cities or areas are so large that replacing all the pipes in the ground would bankrupt them.
An example would be Los Angeles or Southern California as a whole.
Never knew that. Another example of the dangers of going with the lowest bidder

Here in West Texas the rattle snakes sometimes won't rattle, because it gives them away to feral hogs that love to eat them. You still find rattlers in and around town that rattle, but you need to be extra alert if you are in hog territory. I've never come across one that didn't rattle, but due to my bad hearing I can't here them anymore anyway.
My dad found one here in Oregon many decades back. Obviously a rattlesnake, but he could not see a rattle at all. I'm very pro-animals, but that bastard had to be removed from the gene pool.
Interesting fact, about the hogs in Texas. Thnx!
I walked within 3 feet of a Rattlesnake while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail this summer and it never rattled.

Haha. 'No Kill' Shelters are allowed to kill 10% of the animals they take in and still keep this designation.
Shouldn't they be designated 'Only Kill A Few' Shelters then?
It is euphemism gone stark raving mad, I tell you!
(😉)
It's a typical bureaucratic definition. The same kind of definitions are used in other, maybe less harmful contexts, e.g. if some food is designated as being "free from X", it actually means that it can contain a maximum amount of X.
My dad used to work closely with a no kill shelter. If it’s overpopulated they transfer to kill shelters. Kill shelters are the ones that euthanize overpopulation from other no kill shelters
Hi we are a no kill shelter. We have a kill shelter on speed dial though
Killing 10% is literal decimation. So "no kill" shelters should be called "decimation centres" but, it doesn't sound quite so fluffy does it?

I knew about the rattlesnakes silencing their rattles ... always ALWAYS very cautious when I am out in West Texas 0_o
Little info for those of you who don't know, I took my little boy to get a tarantula and we weren't able to get one because he had only been stung by a bee once. The way you know if you will have a reaction to a tarantula is if you are allergic to bees and react to bee stings then you will have a reaction to a tarantula we were told and the only way to know if you are allergic to bees is to be stung twice! You won't react from the first sting you have, only the second sting will tell you for certain if you have an allergy.
Go catch a honey bee (slowly envelope one with your hand while it is on a bloom, but make sure you don't leave any spaces where your fingers close because it does not need much space to crawl out and fly away). Then try to induce it to sting your boy. This is the hard part because they are not aggressive at all unless you are near the hive. Maybe smear some honey on him??? I don't really know. I only got stung a few times on the bottom of my foot as a kid because sometimes I would unwittingly stand on one in the spring while it was on some low lying white clover which was very plentiful where I lived. A solitary bee sting hardly hurts at all, nothing like a yellow jacket sting which is very painful, so if you could not get the bee to sting your child any other way, you could have him stand on the bee, although not enough to crush it of course, just to make it alarmed but still mobile enough to sting. Bees die after they sting someone, which may be why they are so unaggressive.
Going to space not only sounds like a really stupid idea but a wasteful one at that. As much as I love looking at the stars and astrology, going into space and or putting anything into space has always been a super stupid thing that we never should have done. The amount of people in the world who are on antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications should show that we have a hard enough time coping with being on Earth, let alone out in space.
If we don't go into space how are we going to find out which planet has the dilithium crystals for our future power needs.
The fact of the matter is that someday this planet will become uninhabitable for humans and since the technology required to colonize other planets is a very long way off, if we don't start now the human race WILL become extinct.
You shouldn't really love astrology, i must point out. And you can't stop human curiosity. We have millions of problems worldwide, attributed to international and cultural differences, yet we are able to agree to coexist peacefully in space (ISS, for example). Space exploration has been the most unifying thing in modern history. If in space why not on earth? Why is it stupid to want to know your surroundings? We can't become a species of agoraphobic people desperately hiding from the outside world. If we do we might as well commit mass extinction ourselves right now. Humans have always been explorers, that's one of the key things that separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. Most animals just fight for survival so they can procreate, that's the whole of their existence. We, on the other hand, have always been interested in the unknown, whether the highs of the sky, the depths of the ocean or distant continents/islands etc. And space is the most unknown unknown that we know of (ha, funny word play). So it stands to reason that we want to know what's out there whether or not it's for personal gain or loss. We simply have to know. That's why you're watching this video, of which the title is ".. facts you really didn't want to know". If you didn't want to know these facts, you wouldn't have clicked on the video and watched it, you were curious as to what these facts might be.
IB: Think it would be kinda cool if humanity DID attempt to emigrate to space--and the aliens rose up as one and said, "Hell, no! You've already spoiled ONE planet! Keep your toxic garbage where it is--or else!"
The doomsday clock is a joke at this point
I disagree, more countries are getting power to destroy . the world, and technology is advancing to the level a normal person motivated enough could possibly end the world...
@@abhishanu1 You disagree yet the doomsday clock is currently closer to midnight then the cuban missle crisis and the entrie cold war, like what? Not sure if it's just me but I don't think the US are currently at defcon 2 like what it was during the cuban missle crisis. There is no way our current earth is closer to ending then when we almost had ww3.....
Until it's not.

Oh well that one was fantastic for me to hear, I've had like 11 tuna sandwiches this week already
About 20 years ago I lost my voice and had several other symptoms of something my doctor couldn’t figure out. After going to 3 different specialists it was discovered that I was suffering from mercury poisoning. I had been eating a tuna sandwich everyday for a couple of months. I stopped eating fish all together and after about 6 weeks I regained my voice and the other symptoms went away as well. To this day I avoid eating tuna.
Tuna is cheap and has plenty of protein making it really popular with bodybuilders. Which explains some things...
It might explain the limb growing out the back of my head, but it doesn't help explain why there is an eyeball on my knee.
The limb I can live with (such a relief when I have an itch on my back or I need a neck rub, but it makes it difficult trying to find clothes). But it's unnerving when I've gotta poop, and I can see something watching me.. and it's my own knee.
Factory farming 'a necessary evil'!!! I'm 72 and been vegetarian all my life and find this statement morally repugnant in the extreme.
I have a nephew who did drugs in his youth. He is now a minister. 2 of his 3 children were born with birth defects and he always wondered if doing drugs in his youth was a reason for their defects? Which in turn makes me wonder how many of our current outrageous amount of birth defect problems were caused by "innocently" doing drugs in our youth?

"Slavery will be gone in 30 years." Does this mean there'll be no Gypsies? It's an inherent part of Gypsy culture to have "chichkas", despised slaves who do the most inferior jobs for their owners. They are not considered humans, kept in pens like animals, frequently beaten and often forced to work until they collapse. Police releases hundreds of "chichkas" in East European countries every year. Kidnapping young girls - mostly also Gypsies - as sex slaves is also very common. Don't think that it happens in some remote places stuck in the Middle Ages. My parents live in a modern apartment building in Budapest, and the police discovered a sex slave den in one of the apartments after a naked girl jumped from the 4th floor. There were three others chained to the radiators inside.
You need to do a bit more research on the issues of pet population.
First, the kill rate for shelter animals has dropped from something like 30 million in the 80s to less than 2 million a year in the US.
Second, rescues are importing literally hundreds of thousands of dogs from foreign countries to resell. The current fad pet to have is a meat market dog. Most of those o called meat market dogs are being bred in super substandard conditions in a country with little animal welfare laws to sell to rescuers. It has actually increased cruelty in that aspect.
Third, those same dogs are bringing in diseases that are killing dogs in this country. The Asian dog flu came from Asia, hello. There is a new strain of distemper also coming out of Asia that we have no vaccine for. AND there is an infestation of Asian Long Horn Ticks in New Jersey, which is more than likely because of Asian dog imports, as there is zero evidence of any other livestock from areas where this is endemic being imported.
This is not even mentioning the falsified rabies shots that have caused rabid puppies and kittens to be brought to the US.
Fourth. There are rescues that are buying puppies from these so called puppy mills, and then reselling them. Not old, worn out dogs, but WHOLE LITTERS OF PUPPIES and pregnant females. One rescue paid 28 THOUSAND dollars for TWO cavalier king charles spaniels.
How is that putting high volume kennels out of business?
Not only that, but these rescues are buying highly desirable dogs in the form of the above mentioned CKC, French bulldogs, and designer breeds.
Fifth. The number of available dogs that are desired by the public is so low, that you can be promised of responsible breeders being raided and having their dogs stolen to be resold. Have a look at how clean and friendly some of these dogs are. If these dogs were so neglected, why are some of them being offered for sale withing DAYS of being seized?
Remember, the number of healthy adoptable pets being killed yearly in the US us under 2 million. If those rescues would work with the shelters to get them homes, instead of using dogs to make money (they are non profit, remember), that number would drop even further. In the meanwhile, they are using public opinion to literally corner the market, forcing people to buy their dogs, and vilifying their competition, which is not just the high volume USDA breeder, but the show breeder who spends thousands on each dog insuring their health.
This, by the way, is not reflected on reputable and responsible rescues. Just the ones that are hypocrites.
What do you mean by “rescues”?
You say “rescues” buying....
I used to work at an animal shelter for one of the counties in New Jersey, which is where I learned that a no-kill shelter simply means they will not kill the animal on premises because they do not have the right vets or text to do so . They are allowed to ship their animals to shelters with vets that are capable of putting animals down, do not be fooled by the term no kill shelter
I love tarantulas and had one as a pet for a while. My friends stopped coming over to my place during that time lol. I only got bitten once and it was my fault during a poor handling episode. Other than that it was very docile and would just chill in my hand, or crawl on my arm.
i only leave my house when i have to mate.
I have arachnophobia, and am so frightened by tarantulas, and I live in Arizona, WHICH IS IN THE SOUTHWEST!!! I better prepare, I'm so scared!
If I were you I would move.
@@tishamorgan8388 bro I was so different when i commented this, I sounded like i was 5 years old but I was legit 14 😭
RIP Butters, you were a beautiful Brachypelma albopilosum and sweet heart ♥️ I miss you! 😭
6:13 The Doomsday Clock is now 100 seconds to midnight
About those Tarantulas, you now live in Prague, so you should definitely visit the Tarantula Museum, it's been a decade since I last went, but even then they already had over 100 different species, and yeah, obviously all those species were alive 😜
Every time I watch the news I'm reminded how close we are to the end of the world.
Of course you are because if the media didn't hype you up about things you wouldn't need to watch them.
@@VetteguyC6 lmao I live in NZ not america man. News does not need to compete here.
Oh its scary.
Why do you let them upset you?
We actually live in the most peaceful time in human history. I don’t know what the big deal is
"The tuna in mercury" now how would you prepare that?
About 20 years ago I lost my voice and had several other symptoms of something my doctor couldn’t figure out.

Hi~I am a Flint resident and i wanna say this much about the water...it is this...alot of us were not going to drink or use that Flint river water..that river..omg...has had every toxic thing...ie...GM dumped there, so many dead bodies in there ovr the years and I kid you not...the fish were deformed, three eyes and double finned....no..many, in fact did not and would not ingest such deadly filth...but those who did, they are of the set that believed the scumbags who allowed this mass poisoning..that made a lot of people, the kids really sick and damaged for their lifetime and their generations to follow...a bunch died too..just so sad. Flint became the model for thousands of american cities that were built up new during the boom in the fifties and basically ignored the decomposing infrastructure..no real upgrades for the systems that delivered water to homes and businesses. Yes, they are still replacing pipes and switching out the water plant systems...but, here is the thing...it is just too late given all the damage it caused. Test your own water wherever it is you live...just do it, and then you will know...what you drink, cook with and bath in...ya hear me? Thanks! Kim M.
@Skunk Ape So fkn typical, blame the victims..what a pos!

Hahahahaha at 5:55 he says (that the TUNA in Mercury) instead of the Mercury in tuna. Oops lololol
This is why I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!
Saw his face and totally expected to here "hey vsauce, michael here!"
Nope the freakiest fact is that when you look at Neil Armstrong's name and take the first letter of his last name add it to the end of his first name and then read his name backwards it spells Alien....... 🤯🤯👽
Ha! That's neat....but I dont think its anything other than neat
@Mister Hand strap-on backwards spells no parts.... Coincidence? I think not.
