First point is so stupid. It is like saying your eyes don't actually see anything, light just goes into them and stimulates nerves which send signals to be interpreted in the brain. Or that your nose doesn't smell.
The 'fact' that we are mainly microbe is also a myth. The amount of microbial cells and human cells are about equal most of the time, slightly fluctuating, but after defecation (and therefore flushing of the gut microbes) there are more human cells in the body compared to microbes.
The original myth about this is that microbes out number us around 10 to 1, but the fact is that it is closer to 1 to 1 (43%/57%), but this ratio varies from person to person. Thanks for watching.
In your next video i am gonna coment of how did those life hacks channels luyed about the " toothpaste fixes broked phone screen (they could of say about a tablet screen, laugh or leave : )
Urine can still be an indicator of other health problems. For example, if it’s tinged with red, it may be an indicator of blood (or having consumed too much red food dye.) If it’s cloudy, it could be a sign of a yeast or other infections. If you spot anything particularly odd, it’s generally a good idea to see a physician.
Sure, but that has nothing to do with the point made in the video. It's only talking about hydration levels reflecting on the color of one's urine. That's like a video saying "phlegm color doesn't indicate if you're on your way to recovery from your coughs" and you commenting "But it can also indicate blood if it's colored red." I mean, duh. 🤣 Pretty sure most people wouldn't "yeah, that's normal" as they spit or urinate blood.
Surely saying we taste in the brain, not the tongue, is like saying we see with our brain, not our eyes, or hear with our brain, not our ears, etc. The brain also interprets all those, they're all just chemical and electrical signals too.
You just have said it... "Evidently we are able to Taste into our brains [Because that's where the vast majority of the properly done functions that we managed to do thro' our day are somehow "Stored" to be passed towards the *Next Generation* continuing with the Family bonds.] Not *with* using our brains "literally speaking"
I mean not really when you consider the experiment, in which you modify the brain, amd them the receptors in the tongue, unaffected, will give you different results to the normally expected.
#6: Saying you taste with your brain rather than your tongue is pure sophism - that goes for _every_ other perception as well - the signals from the retina do not become "sight" before being processed in the visual cortex, to name just _one_ example. Also, this way of splitting hairs does not address the problem of the "taste map". Also also, most of the sensory information making up the "taste" sensation comes from *smell* receptors in the _nasal cavity,_ not on the tongue. Hold your nose closed to find out how bad this makes you at recognizing foods. With closed eyes, obviously. #1: The 45% microbiome number has long been challenged (it is also left completely unclear _what_ percentage is measured here: *weight* or *number* of cells??), and once you are going there, why did you gloss over mitochondria? Our microbiome is not technically speaking _part of our human body,_ they just *_inhabit_* it. Our mitochondria, however, are essential parts of our every cells, and yet, they have their completely separate DNA that does not mingle with ours. Their evolutionary history from symbiotic single cell organisms suggests to classify _them_ as "not _strictly speaking_ part of our human body." From a channel called "Debunked", I really expect better.
Maybe you shouldn't known better, anyone that has the word debunked in the title is looking for attention. A specific kind of attention; i think you can guess what I'm talking about.
@@WhiteBlossom-001 Well fortunately, the word "debunk" is also used by really high quality channels like Captain Disillusion (yes, in spite of this name, he makes really good videos), so it is not an automatic turn-off for me. Also, flat earth debunkers use the term widely, and those who do have a solid education in natural sciences and do know what they are talking about.
@@Noone-of-your-Business ok,thank you for correcting me But if you look at hes channel. You will start to understand Hes THAT type of debunking channel
I feel like the tongue one could be used for a lot of other parts, like you don't actually see with your eyes you see with your brain, you don't feel pain with your skin you feel pain with your brain. You don't smell with your nose, you smell with your brain
The taste section of this video is very true. When I was a stupid teenager (14), I was in a skateboarding accident (no helmet) that caused me to have a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). I landed head first on the pavement. When I woke up days later in the hospital, I lost both my sense of taste and smell. For years, both senses were faint. The loss of smell came in handy during the diaper changing years, however. Since that accident, my taste and smell have come back to some extent, but it seems only half. To this day, I just turned 45, there are things I can't smell or taste, or taste different than I remember.
@@dawidsienczak9821 No worries. I lived through it. I was lucky. I learned from it. I was a stupid kid and learned a valuable lesson: Life is a gift that in a blink of an eye, it can be snuffed out. Sure I lost my smell and taste, but I eventually got some of that back. I am glad I didn't go blind, or worse, die from brain swelling. I was lucky.Thank you.
@@newphonewhodis9940 saying it was lucky is stupid, saying it was partially lucky in some interpreted sense , maybe , I still don't agrre with this logic , also you seem sad.
I was thinking the same thing because it sounds like they are unique but that the system just doesn’t analyze it completely & just uses markers which is ridiculous. Let’s play with peoples lives & possibly put someone in prison forever by not thoroughly doing our job & checking the entire finger print. 🤦♀️
@@beccaboo6355 Also, a lot of prints recovered from a crime scene are partial prints, so you may not get the full 12 reference points you're supposed to. Compare this to the TV shows, where they can miraculously get good fingerprints off of any surface.
the problem is finger prints are probably unique, not definitely. it has not been mathematically proven yet. so he debunked the statement being a fact.
Other myths; that you only have 5 senses, ignoring things like balance and hunger. Then the one about having to pee 6-7 times a day ... or is it true? Because if we sleep 8 hours, that menas you have to pee 6 times for 16 hours, that is almost every 3rd hour. Maybe it is true for some, but it just seems to often.
The more liquid you consume, the more likely you will go to the toilet. If you consume alcohol, the frequency could increase up to 30minutes if you had a lot of liquid in your body beforehand. (Based off experience) I think most humans have to pee after they wake up.
Yeah, that part seemed a bit odd. You could say the exact same thing about smell, eyesight, hearing, etc. But the point that we were told you only tasted salty things on one section of your tongue is a lie, and I knew it as a kid when I first heard that.
the taste map really is stating where most receptors for each taste are in our tongue, saying it is fake because taste if felt in the brain makes no sense. it's like saying that our eyes don't have specific regions for perceiving colour and brightness because sight is actually in the brain
A lot of these are kind of "no duh". Was anyone really confused that the brain interprets the data we receive from our sensory organs? The "no two fingerprints are the same" one is more hypothetical than useful. No one is getting convicted of crimes based on a doppleganger out there. The urine one feels more like arguing for the sake of arguing. We all know from practical experience that it is generally true the darker the color the more dehydrated we are. Sure, there are other factors that can effect urine color. But generally speaking it is absolutely true that urine color is determined by dehydration levels. The whole "your body is 100% human" argument is also really misleading. Again, I don't think anyone is confused about humans having a microbiome. The video also purposely misrepresents the numbers. 57% bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea cells makes it seem like we are less human than an amalgamation of weird crap. But by mass these things are far smaller than our human mass. But 0.001% of our mass is a combination of bacteria, viruses, fungi and archaea cells isn't very catchy is it? This kind of clickbait science news is a real problem in our society.
For the "40% of heat from head" . . . The point is if you are wearing a thick jacket and no hat . . . and you are still cold . . . You will feel warmer by putting on a hat, than putting on a thicker jacket.
Doctors have known for about 40 years - people a lot older than me have had theirs removed for no reason, but no one my age has. That’s the dividing line between doctors thinking there’s no harm in removing it versus doctors feeling that the appendix is useful and should only be removed when it’s dangerously inflamed.
So our fingerprints *are* different enough to be used for ID, but our methods of analysis are deeply flawed & need to be standardized, nor should any criminal case rest solely on fingerprints. You'd think with tech constantly getting better/cheaper/smaller, we'd have moved to computerized analysis already, since computers could be programmed to match as many reference points as possible.
As nurse I can say all dehydrated people have darker urin, but that doesn't mean vice versa would be true. (okey, not "all". There are very specific illnesses (e.g. diabetes insipidus) or drugs (many diuretics) who fake this, or people with big areas with freshly burned skin. But that are edge cases)
Fingerprints are unique, if you look at them closely enough. But our legal system doesn't. Our legal system makes a lot of assumptions that actual scientists shake their heads at. Like looking at fire damage can definitely prove it was arson and where it started ... sometimes it works, but many times the "experts" are pretty much guessing, but the lawyers don't paint it that way at all. Lie detectors are very vague indicators of actually lying.Even DNA evidence may not be right, cross contamination is just one way it can fail.
lol next it'll be "You don't actually hear with your ears, you hear with your brain, as it activates a specific part of it. You don't actually see with your eyes, you see with your brain, as it activates a specific part of it. You don't actually smell with your nose, you smell with your brain, as it activates a specific part of it." All the senses lead back to the brain, whats the logic in arguing that the sensory organs aren't actually sensing
Fucking HATE fingerprints so much. I have to get old people to digitally scan their finger print for my job and it's impossible for 80 percent of them to do it. Their fingerprints no longer exist from a life of hardlabor.
Hypo, meaning low, natre, referring to sodium, or more formally natrium, and emia, meaning presence in blood. Hyponatremia Low sodium presence in blood.
Honestly, it was pretty painful when he said that "your fingerprint can match with others" while showing an image about % of accuracy. 💀 Like as..... matching of two things isn't supposed to be exactly 100% to call it matching? Otherwise it's just "similar".
I have a finger that has a scar down the middle of it. On one side of the scar the fingerprint is an arch and on the other it is a loop and they would not match up if the scar was not there.
Sort of not related, but I am a guitar player and my left hand is so callused that when I was in high school we had a fingerprint scanner thing to pay for our school lunches since it was a lot faster and simpler than a card or whatever, but they wanted everyone to use their left pointer finger, and I was the only person I knew of that routinely had to use my right since it would just come up as basically a blank print with my left hand because the skin was so hard the machine couldn't read it.
fun fact: I had a teacher once who had adermatoglyphia and she said that she was almost denied into the country (Qatar) b/c of it. Its actually kinda cool
it feels like most of these myths were at most only partially debunked, like the urine color one seemed to only say that hydration is not the only thing that influences urine color not that being dehydrated doesn't change urine color.
Napoleon wasn't short, he was 5ft 7 which was on the tall side for the average french person at that time. Its just that he was 5ft 2 in french inches rather than British inches which were larger and was exploited as propaganda by the British, however in a twist of irony, spreading the metric system across Europe would mean this mistake would never happen again
A question on number 5: It is understandable that surface area won't lose heat as fast as any other part of the body, but could the heat loss from the head be attributed to breathing out warm air and inhaling cold air, as it is the only part that actively takes in and expells external air at high volumes?
My own experience backs up the theory about pee colour indicating hydration. I knew it was my microbiome making me fat, and nothing to do with all those cream cakes.
The heat one I dont think is wrong, think its misunderstood. Theres two ways to look at it. 1. You lose 40% to 45% of your body heat through your head. Or 2. They lost 40% to 45% of their heat from their head. If you wrap them up, and bang them in the artic or what not, they still lost 40% to 45% of their heat because they didnt cover their head. Thats still a very important statement and shows the importance to cover up properly. I hate hats, but this does prove why i should wear when needed.
Really? 0.08% of the people convicted primarily by comparing fingerprints have been wrongly convicted? That’s a very large number of innocent people locked up. AM I THE ONLY ONE who feels those people need out right now!
Next time you're out shopping you should buy a pack of common sense. Try rubbing that on your head and see if it helps. I am pretty sure you'll be able to grasp some of these concepts a bit easier...
Not entirely sure how microbes living inside us as entirely separate beings that we have a symbiotic relationship with makes us less human, but alright.
It actually HAS been proven that fingerprints aren't unique. There was a terrorist who set off a bomb on a train in Spain that proved this. The fingerprints came up as a match in the fingerprint database for someone in the US, who briefly got arrested for the crime even though they had never even been to Spain in the first place. Eventually the police found the actual bomber (and a ton of evidence that they were in the area at the time of the bombing) and they also had the same finger prints. The prosecution was later forced to admit in court that the person in the US had identical finger prints to the bomber..
They likely weren't identical, just very similar. They don't go over every tiny bit of each print,they just search for matching areas or details, and if there are enough, they figure they belong to a certain person.
You’re WRONG. Just because two different people had “identical” fingerprints according to the fingerprint database does NOT mean fingerprints aren’t unique. All that means is that the law enforcement techniques/ fingerprint database matching software aren’t fine-tuned enough yet to 100% accuracy. Fingerprints are so completely unique they only need a dozen or so reference points of the fingerprint to match for them to declare a match with certainty. Except for the apparent extremely rare occasions where two people have highly similar fingerprints, having the necessary number of identical reference points to the software analysis. The actual level of detail the software is even capable of analyzing is the 30,000 foot view of our fingerprints. It’s laughable to claim they’ve “proven fingerprints aren’t unique” based on an error in law enforcement forensic science techniques.
They say that about tonsils now too. It used to be we were told tonsils didn't matter. Now they say tonsils are the first line of defense against viruses and bacteria that can harm the rest of the body.
Even in nursing we use the general rule of thumb that hydration is tied to urine being darker and more concentrated. That is not a myth. There's simply more to it. There are few things that most people will not come into contact with that will change urine color, but it does happen. Still, it works as a general rule of thumb and is not entirely, or even mostly false. This is another misleading item in your list. edit: it is worth noting that we observe color of urine for presence of blood and proteinuria (protein in the pee) more often though, since there are better indicators of dehydration.
I am 1.8 m tall. I ought to have been 1.9 m tall. However, I was a breech birth, during which the delivering physician's blunder in dropping me twisted my neck; the resulting trauma resulted in scoliosis, kyphosis, etc., signifi- cantly diminishing my stature. Given the considerable number of sprain injuries I over the years have sustained from different ways to fall, I am quite apprecia- tive not to have grown as tall as I ought to have. As it is, I have a 93 cm inside leg (36" inseam), size 14 feet, and poor vision, which in the aggregate are causal for all my numerous ambulatory mishaps.
"You lose 40% body heat through your head." My thought of how they meant it: When you are fully clothed the head is the one exposed surface of the body that is difficult to cover up, so that's why you lose the mose amount of heat there. Their explanation is just taking it way too literally. Do you walk around naked in winter? No? What a surprise... Same shit with the fingerprints. They aren't unique because analysts cannot read them properly?! Wtf reason is that? So much nonsense in this video that it discredits everything else.
"The most intelligent species on the planet." Dude I work at a call center and can prove that is not true lol. I've met ants smarter than the people who call me on a daily basis lol
I was always under the impression that losing heat through your head was due to lack of clothing. With hands and head exposed most heat loss would e through the head, with a scarf, hat, ear muffs etc. you can reduce this.
I dont think the human colon has the power to inflate a baloon, guess he meant your daily farts would be equal to the volume of air in a certain size of fully inflated balloon, whatever size that is? Not that the force and volume of your fart could inflate a balloon, its hard enough using your lungs.
The last myth is kinda stupid to measure by numbers of cells instead of volume because eukaryotic cells (human cells) are 1,000-10,000 larger by volume than prokaryotic cells (bacteria) with viruses being even smaller.
Well, you see you have the burden of proof backwards with the finger prints. Every print we've ever taken is unique from every other one, this is because the prints are made by the amniotic fluid as it passes over your hands and feet during pregnancy, in order for a set of prints to match up, the mothers need to have the same body, doing the same things with identical fluid while the baby sits and fidgets the same way inside, for ~5 months, oh and the pregnancies have to develope identically too.
The USMC taught us we lose most heat through our head, because some folk dress up but omit proper head covering. Having solid cold weather head covering goes far in keeping a body warm.
When wearing long-sleeved clothing I've always found it the easiest to control my body heat by rolling up the sleeves when I'm too hot and unrolling them if I'm getting cold.
No, there isn't a reason for everything. Evolution is not a conscious process. It's not like someone sat down and designed the most perfect possible human, we evolved by randomly mutating genes and the ones that proved to be more useful survived. But there may also be random mutations that aren't useful nor harmful, they're simply there, that have skated by and survived.
I like how #4 is "Debunked" pretty much by claiming we cannot proved that it is false or true BUT we certainly do know that we do not do enough checks or are not consistent enough in our biometric scans to certainly make this claim. This is like saying "Lets compare if these 2 cars are identical but lets just check the car color , if it has 4 wheels, and if they have same number of doors. and depending on the place we might also check for if the windows are tinted."

We can’t say for definite that we’re the most intelligent species on Earth. How do you know some species don’t understand the most intricate workings of the universe? Lots of animals can do incredible things.
Because the size of their brain compared to their body? One things for sure, you're definitely not the most intelligent species on earth. Do animals talk? No they dont. Do animals build giant flawless buildings? No they dont. Do animals build electronic devices and digital websites? No, they dont.
Just Some Wendigo With Internet Access Oh the irony of an idiot telling me I’m not the most intelligent species on Earth. There are many incredible things other species can do that we can’t. Look at primates memorising 15 sequence patterns in less than a second. What about animals that use Earth’s magnetic field as a navigation system? We have obvious intelligence, but animals can do very incredible things and clearly use physics on a daily basis. How do you know that there aren’t animals that use quantum physics that we aren’t even close to comprehending? The answer is: you don’t.
Oh the irony of an idiot who ignores obvious science and common sense. Oh and also, the answer is I do and so does like every scientist. I mean you don't because your in like 3rd grade. Idiot I know because we fucking study them you don't see a cow writing down everything about the fucking universe no you don't you see them eating grass and taking shits either way other animals don't imagine or think about things other than survival also it doesn't matter what animals can do that's their thing just because a bird can fly and humans can't doesn't mean it's smarter than it
The taste thing is not a myth as much as its a misunderstanding. The tongue diagram is to show rough percents of how many of each taste receptors there are.
Fact is, eventually you HAVE to have two people with identical fingerprints. The patterns that can be created are finite, incredibly vast, but finite. So the odds at any time of two living people having the same fingerprints are infinitesimally small. Compare all 10 digits and the odds go down even more.

With fingerprints I was thinking, I remember my grandpa trying to get his concealed carry license and he passed everything but they couldn't get fingerprints off of him so he didn't get the license. He was in some intelligence stuff in the army in the 50's and the CIA tried to recruit him so I don't know if that had anything to do with it or if it was just from being older.
An occupation can remove fingerprints, too. Dry cleaners that use heat and steam, so too millners steaming hats, sometimes cooks. The heat makes the fingerprints fade. Sometimes they return after a few days away from heat, sometimes not.
Goes to dhow how arrogant medical science is that they plucked out appendixes left and right not knowing they served such a hugely important function, instead thinking "theyre just there for no reason"
2:30 That’s stupid. Of course the brain interprets the signals, but it needs to get the signal from somewhere. It’s the same thing with the eyes and every other sense. But the eyes are still the organ that lets you see and the tongue the organ that makes you taste things.
There was something unsatisfying about this. E.g., we usually use "all else constant" when we make predictions - so it's weird to say the thing about the color of pee without somehow factoring that in. Something along the lines of "if all else is constant (i.e., you are not changing your food, vitamins, medications, and dietary supplements), your pee color is related to your hydration." To make it seem entirely unrelated seems misleading. Plus, is hyponatremia really that common!?
The heat out of the head experiment is totally flawed. The claim is based on the whole body in air. The experiment is measuring heat loss to water versus heat loss to air. Not the same thing.
The lottery is a bad comparison - for the lottery, someone HAS to win, which is why people do win. This is not comparable to fingerprints, where they don't have to have some which are the same. I'm fairly certain fingerprints' uniqueness would be down to calculating how they're actually formed in the first place - until then the uniqueness is a completely reasonable conclusion that has not been disproven.
I remember when they tried teaching us that the different parts of the tongue tasted different things, always knew it was a lie, put a salty cracker on the tip of your tongue and no it doesn't taste like sugar.

The 'fact' that we are mainly microbe is also a myth. The amount of microbial cells and human cells are about equal most of the time, slightly fluctuating, but after defecation (and therefore flushing of the gut microbes) there are more human cells in the body compared to microbes.
The original myth about this is that microbes out number us around 10 to 1, but the fact is that it is closer to 1 to 1 (43%/57%), but this ratio varies from person to person. Thanks for watching.
@@DebunkedOfficial then why in the video it it addressed as humans think we are human, but the 'fact' is that we are more microbe than human?

In your next video i am gonna coment of how did those life hacks channels luyed about the " toothpaste fixes broked phone screen (they could of say about a tablet screen, laugh or leave : )
Urine can still be an indicator of other health problems. For example, if it’s tinged with red, it may be an indicator of blood (or having consumed too much red food dye.) If it’s cloudy, it could be a sign of a yeast or other infections. If you spot anything particularly odd, it’s generally a good idea to see a physician.
Sure, but that has nothing to do with the point made in the video. It's only talking about hydration levels reflecting on the color of one's urine. That's like a video saying "phlegm color doesn't indicate if you're on your way to recovery from your coughs" and you commenting "But it can also indicate blood if it's colored red." I mean, duh. 🤣 Pretty sure most people wouldn't "yeah, that's normal" as they spit or urinate blood.
Surely saying we taste in the brain, not the tongue, is like saying we see with our brain, not our eyes, or hear with our brain, not our ears, etc. The brain also interprets all those, they're all just chemical and electrical signals too.
yeah, it is kinda pointless
You just have said it... "Evidently we are able to Taste into our brains [Because that's where the vast majority of the properly done functions that we managed to do thro' our day are somehow "Stored" to be passed towards the *Next Generation* continuing with the Family bonds.] Not *with* using our brains "literally speaking"
I mean not really when you consider the experiment, in which you modify the brain, amd them the receptors in the tongue, unaffected, will give you different results to the normally expected.
Everything is processed in the brain. Vision happens in the brain, not in your eyes, if you want to take that perspective.

#6: Saying you taste with your brain rather than your tongue is pure sophism - that goes for _every_ other perception as well - the signals from the retina do not become "sight" before being processed in the visual cortex, to name just _one_ example. Also, this way of splitting hairs does not address the problem of the "taste map". Also also, most of the sensory information making up the "taste" sensation comes from *smell* receptors in the _nasal cavity,_ not on the tongue. Hold your nose closed to find out how bad this makes you at recognizing foods. With closed eyes, obviously.
#1: The 45% microbiome number has long been challenged (it is also left completely unclear _what_ percentage is measured here: *weight* or *number* of cells??), and once you are going there, why did you gloss over mitochondria? Our microbiome is not technically speaking _part of our human body,_ they just *_inhabit_* it. Our mitochondria, however, are essential parts of our every cells, and yet, they have their completely separate DNA that does not mingle with ours. Their evolutionary history from symbiotic single cell organisms suggests to classify _them_ as "not _strictly speaking_ part of our human body."

For years, it was thought that, on cell-count, we were only 10% human. I’m glad the updated information was included in the video.
As a child, I kept trying to prove the tongue map thing unsuccessfully.
I remember seeing the map and just instinctively thinking that's not right. But they taught that for decades without any good proof. Crazy.
Still can't believe they just taught me a lie.
I feel like the tongue one could be used for a lot of other parts, like you don't actually see with your eyes you see with your brain, you don't feel pain with your skin you feel pain with your brain. You don't smell with your nose, you smell with your brain
The taste section of this video is very true. When I was a stupid teenager (14), I was in a skateboarding accident (no helmet) that caused me to have a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). I landed head first on the pavement. When I woke up days later in the hospital, I lost both my sense of taste and smell. For years, both senses were faint. The loss of smell came in handy during the diaper changing years, however. Since that accident, my taste and smell have come back to some extent, but it seems only half. To this day, I just turned 45, there are things I can't smell or taste, or taste different than I remember.

You said that fingerprints aren't unique, but didn't debunk it, in fact you pretty much confirmed the opposite.
I was thinking the same thing because it sounds like they are unique but that the system just doesn’t analyze it completely & just uses markers which is ridiculous. Let’s play with peoples lives & possibly put someone in prison forever by not thoroughly doing our job & checking the entire finger print. 🤦♀️
@@beccaboo6355 Also, a lot of prints recovered from a crime scene are partial prints, so you may not get the full 12 reference points you're supposed to.
Compare this to the TV shows, where they can miraculously get good fingerprints off of any surface.
Thanks, Juan Vucetich.
the problem is finger prints are probably unique, not definitely. it has not been mathematically proven yet. so he debunked the statement being a fact.
Yes, bull crap for click bait, fingerprints are indeed very unique.
the bacteria thing is misleading since it's not static. You lose a bunch of that "57%" whenever you take a dump
Other myths; that you only have 5 senses, ignoring things like balance and hunger.
Then the one about having to pee 6-7 times a day ... or is it true? Because if we sleep 8 hours, that menas you have to pee 6 times for 16 hours, that is almost every 3rd hour. Maybe it is true for some, but it just seems to often.
Thanks! Great suggestions for a future video.
The more liquid you consume, the more likely you will go to the toilet. If you consume alcohol, the frequency could increase up to 30minutes if you had a lot of liquid in your body beforehand. (Based off experience) I think most humans have to pee after they wake up.
It's the brain that gives a specific sensation to the signals from our sensory organs, it's not just for the taste.
Yeah, that part seemed a bit odd. You could say the exact same thing about smell, eyesight, hearing, etc.
But the point that we were told you only tasted salty things on one section of your tongue is a lie, and I knew it as a kid when I first heard that.
the taste map really is stating where most receptors for each taste are in our tongue, saying it is fake because taste if felt in the brain makes no sense. it's like saying that our eyes don't have specific regions for perceiving colour and brightness because sight is actually in the brain
"the tongue taste map is wrong" no wonder the "sweet part" of my tongue is always burning whenever i eat spicy foods
A lot of these are kind of "no duh". Was anyone really confused that the brain interprets the data we receive from our sensory organs? The "no two fingerprints are the same" one is more hypothetical than useful. No one is getting convicted of crimes based on a doppleganger out there. The urine one feels more like arguing for the sake of arguing. We all know from practical experience that it is generally true the darker the color the more dehydrated we are. Sure, there are other factors that can effect urine color. But generally speaking it is absolutely true that urine color is determined by dehydration levels.
The whole "your body is 100% human" argument is also really misleading. Again, I don't think anyone is confused about humans having a microbiome. The video also purposely misrepresents the numbers. 57% bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea cells makes it seem like we are less human than an amalgamation of weird crap. But by mass these things are far smaller than our human mass. But 0.001% of our mass is a combination of bacteria, viruses, fungi and archaea cells isn't very catchy is it? This kind of clickbait science news is a real problem in our society.
💯 agreed...
For the "40% of heat from head" . . . The point is if you are wearing a thick jacket and no hat . . . and you are still cold . . . You will feel warmer by putting on a hat, than putting on a thicker jacket.
No one in the medical field say that it is useless, they just say you don’t need it and for some it may cause more trouble than need be
Doctors have known for about 40 years - people a lot older than me have had theirs removed for no reason, but no one my age has. That’s the dividing line between doctors thinking there’s no harm in removing it versus doctors feeling that the appendix is useful and should only be removed when it’s dangerously inflamed.
So our fingerprints *are* different enough to be used for ID, but our methods of analysis are deeply flawed & need to be standardized, nor should any criminal case rest solely on fingerprints. You'd think with tech constantly getting better/cheaper/smaller, we'd have moved to computerized analysis already, since computers could be programmed to match as many reference points as possible.
As nurse I can say all dehydrated people have darker urin, but that doesn't mean vice versa would be true. (okey, not "all". There are very specific illnesses (e.g. diabetes insipidus) or drugs (many diuretics) who fake this, or people with big areas with freshly burned skin. But that are edge cases)

The top 3 things I learned from the thumbnail of this video: 1. Fingerprints arent unique. 2. Tongues aren't real. 3. Humans aren't human.
Thats what I heard
Fingerprints are unique, if you look at them closely enough. But our legal system doesn't.
Our legal system makes a lot of assumptions that actual scientists shake their heads at. Like looking at fire damage can definitely prove it was arson and where it started ... sometimes it works, but many times the "experts" are pretty much guessing, but the lawyers don't paint it that way at all. Lie detectors are very vague indicators of actually lying.Even DNA evidence may not be right, cross contamination is just one way it can fail.
lol next it'll be "You don't actually hear with your ears, you hear with your brain, as it activates a specific part of it. You don't actually see with your eyes, you see with your brain, as it activates a specific part of it. You don't actually smell with your nose, you smell with your brain, as it activates a specific part of it." All the senses lead back to the brain, whats the logic in arguing that the sensory organs aren't actually sensing
Well the tongue sends the taste to the brain
Specific areas of the tongue still don't sense specific tastes.
So much of what they taught me in grade school was a lie! Now I have to unlearn it all.
Is this why I feel like I can taste something I smell?
Fucking HATE fingerprints so much. I have to get old people to digitally scan their finger print for my job and it's impossible for 80 percent of them to do it. Their fingerprints no longer exist from a life of hardlabor.

The tongue one is quite a pointless fact. Every perception EVER occurs in the brain. That's no news for anyone.
Seems like if the fingerprint system pings on a match, you'd either re-run the scan woth more points, or do it manually.
Honestly, it was pretty painful when he said that "your fingerprint can match with others" while showing an image about % of accuracy. 💀
Like as..... matching of two things isn't supposed to be exactly 100% to call it matching? Otherwise it's just "similar".
You have to wonder how many of these debunks will be debunked in the next five years.
I have a finger that has a scar down the middle of it. On one side of the scar the fingerprint is an arch and on the other it is a loop and they would not match up if the scar was not there.
Sort of not related, but I am a guitar player and my left hand is so callused that when I was in high school we had a fingerprint scanner thing to pay for our school lunches since it was a lot faster and simpler than a card or whatever, but they wanted everyone to use their left pointer finger, and I was the only person I knew of that routinely had to use my right since it would just come up as basically a blank print with my left hand because the skin was so hard the machine couldn't read it.
My mother's phone can be opened with my left middle finger as it has a similar fingerprint to her right index finger

A question on number 5: It is understandable that surface area won't lose heat as fast as any other part of the body, but could the heat loss from the head be attributed to breathing out warm air and inhaling cold air, as it is the only part that actively takes in and expells external air at high volumes?
My own experience backs up the theory about pee colour indicating hydration. I knew it was my microbiome making me fat, and nothing to do with all those cream cakes.
The heat one I dont think is wrong, think its misunderstood. Theres two ways to look at it.
1. You lose 40% to 45% of your body heat through your head.
Or
2. They lost 40% to 45% of their heat from their head.
If you wrap them up, and bang them in the artic or what not, they still lost 40% to 45% of their heat because they didnt cover their head. Thats still a very important statement and shows the importance to cover up properly. I hate hats, but this does prove why i should wear when needed.

It means that some cells inside our bodies aren’t human. Other than that, it doesn’t.
It actually HAS been proven that fingerprints aren't unique. There was a terrorist who set off a bomb on a train in Spain that proved this. The fingerprints came up as a match in the fingerprint database for someone in the US, who briefly got arrested for the crime even though they had never even been to Spain in the first place. Eventually the police found the actual bomber (and a ton of evidence that they were in the area at the time of the bombing) and they also had the same finger prints. The prosecution was later forced to admit in court that the person in the US had identical finger prints to the bomber..
Damm
But this story proves that there are only two people with matching finger prints, which is good enough!
They likely weren't identical, just very similar. They don't go over every tiny bit of each print,they just search for matching areas or details, and if there are enough, they figure they belong to a certain person.
You’re WRONG. Just because two different people had “identical” fingerprints according to the fingerprint database does NOT mean fingerprints aren’t unique. All that means is that the law enforcement techniques/ fingerprint database matching software aren’t fine-tuned enough yet to 100% accuracy. Fingerprints are so completely unique they only need a dozen or so reference points of the fingerprint to match for them to declare a match with certainty. Except for the apparent extremely rare occasions where two people have highly similar fingerprints, having the necessary number of identical reference points to the software analysis.
The actual level of detail the software is even capable of analyzing is the 30,000 foot view of our fingerprints. It’s laughable to claim they’ve “proven fingerprints aren’t unique” based on an error in law enforcement forensic science techniques.
They say that about tonsils now too. It used to be we were told tonsils didn't matter. Now they say tonsils are the first line of defense against viruses and bacteria that can harm the rest of the body.
Yeah and your eyes do not see, your ears do not hear, your nose does not smell and your skin does not feel, YOUR BRAIN DOES.
Even in nursing we use the general rule of thumb that hydration is tied to urine being darker and more concentrated. That is not a myth. There's simply more to it. There are few things that most people will not come into contact with that will change urine color, but it does happen. Still, it works as a general rule of thumb and is not entirely, or even mostly false. This is another misleading item in your list.
edit: it is worth noting that we observe color of urine for presence of blood and proteinuria (protein in the pee) more often though, since there are better indicators of dehydration.
0:23 Misconception #1: Humans are not 1,800,000 meters tall. Most are a million times shorter!
I am 1.8 m tall. I ought to have been 1.9 m tall. However, I was a breech birth, during which the delivering physician's blunder in dropping me twisted my neck; the resulting trauma resulted in scoliosis, kyphosis, etc., signifi- cantly diminishing my stature.
Given the considerable number of sprain injuries I over the years have sustained from different ways to fall, I am quite apprecia- tive not to have grown as tall as I ought to have. As it is, I have a 93 cm inside leg (36" inseam), size 14 feet, and poor vision, which in the aggregate are causal for all my numerous ambulatory mishaps.
"You lose 40% body heat through your head." My thought of how they meant it: When you are fully clothed the head is the one exposed surface of the body that is difficult to cover up, so that's why you lose the mose amount of heat there.
Their explanation is just taking it way too literally. Do you walk around naked in winter? No? What a surprise...

Actually, that means that each person on this planet could have at least 700 other people who would have at least one matching fingerprint.
We need a shirt that says “I’m not fat my microbes are”
I was always under the impression that losing heat through your head was due to lack of clothing. With hands and head exposed most heat loss would e through the head, with a scarf, hat, ear muffs etc. you can reduce this.
I dont think the human colon has the power to inflate a baloon, guess he meant your daily farts would be equal to the volume of air in a certain size of fully inflated balloon, whatever size that is? Not that the force and volume of your fart could inflate a balloon, its hard enough using your lungs.
The last myth is kinda stupid to measure by numbers of cells instead of volume because eukaryotic cells (human cells) are 1,000-10,000 larger by volume than prokaryotic cells (bacteria) with viruses being even smaller.
Well, you see you have the burden of proof backwards with the finger prints. Every print we've ever taken is unique from every other one, this is because the prints are made by the amniotic fluid as it passes over your hands and feet during pregnancy, in order for a set of prints to match up, the mothers need to have the same body, doing the same things with identical fluid while the baby sits and fidgets the same way inside, for ~5 months, oh and the pregnancies have to develope identically too.

The taste thing is not a myth as much as its a misunderstanding. The tongue diagram is to show rough percents of how many of each taste receptors there are.
Fact is, eventually you HAVE to have two people with identical fingerprints. The patterns that can be created are finite, incredibly vast, but finite. So the odds at any time of two living people having the same fingerprints are infinitesimally small. Compare all 10 digits and the odds go down even more.

An occupation can remove fingerprints, too. Dry cleaners that use heat and steam, so too millners steaming hats, sometimes cooks. The heat makes the fingerprints fade. Sometimes they return after a few days away from heat, sometimes not.

@@DanWi90 yea kinda agree
Agreed.
There was something unsatisfying about this. E.g., we usually use "all else constant" when we make predictions - so it's weird to say the thing about the color of pee without somehow factoring that in. Something along the lines of "if all else is constant (i.e., you are not changing your food, vitamins, medications, and dietary supplements), your pee color is related to your hydration." To make it seem entirely unrelated seems misleading. Plus, is hyponatremia really that common!?
The heat out of the head experiment is totally flawed. The claim is based on the whole body in air. The experiment is measuring heat loss to water versus heat loss to air. Not the same thing.
came here to say this.
The lottery is a bad comparison - for the lottery, someone HAS to win, which is why people do win. This is not comparable to fingerprints, where they don't have to have some which are the same. I'm fairly certain fingerprints' uniqueness would be down to calculating how they're actually formed in the first place - until then the uniqueness is a completely reasonable conclusion that has not been disproven.
So why does having a cold mess up taste?
Next they’re going to tell me that the brain named itself….. oh god….
It was at this moment he knew, the brain named itself.
I remember when they tried teaching us that the different parts of the tongue tasted different things, always knew it was a lie, put a salty cracker on the tip of your tongue and no it doesn't taste like sugar.
