The entire family related to hogweed(apiaceae) has many really poisonous flowers. Poison hemlock, cow parsnip, water hemlock it's insane...
Trevor and I are not from the same game, unfortunately, but it’s great to know that there’s someone else out there who had similar ideas as me. DM’s are an evil group:)
Aspen Hansen I’m not evil, it’s not my fault that my party of murder hobos just happened to attack the god of the world disguised as a regular hobo
Aspen, Im more evil... Five Tarrasques on one party
Shadowrun, Sangre del Diablo trees. Weird nobody thinks of the Manchineel as its mundane version.
3:17, when Kyle goes 'WHOO!" and blows out my speakers lol
Vine whip would be normal effective against a pure dark type ... I like my pokemon-facts right...
I'm glad I'm not the only one that realized that as soon as he said it.
However, since Zubats are poison type, I think we can assume Batman would be Poison/Dark type, which would make vine whip not very effective.
I was about to comment that too. Dark doesn't resist grass...
@@discgolfwes Zubat is also a flying type, I would argue that Batman wouldn't be a poison type, he never uses poison. I would accept a flying type (that would give him resistance, too).
Batman would definitely not be a poison or flying type since he doesn't use one and can't do the other unaided. Dark/fighting would be it and vinewhip would be normal effective.
So I'm a botanist and I really loved this episode. It'd be really cool to see you do more stuff with a botany type theme.
Also she could just set up a hydroponic setup in a warehouse somewhere and then she would only have to show up for maintenance. Because I'd be a self contained operation.
if you mix in that stuff, it goes from sunscreen to sunscream.
Ahahahaaa,
"You know what they call Alternative Medicine that works? Medicine." Best line in your show, to date.
When you said "young lad from the forest who has a fairy" I thought you meant Peter Pan and I was like, "Who wants to know if Peter Pan is strong?"
Greatest evil villain team up.
Poison Ivy and Plankton
Cool video Thor!
YESSSS!!!!!! Ur the best every time u bring poison ivy into a video I can’t help but watch it repeatedly!!!!! Because science is the best!
Link must have super strength. Why else would his weapons keep breaking like that? Enemies the same the same weapons indefinitely.
There's so many ways the Link episode can go, literally from shield parrying guardian lasers and bombs exploding in BotW to commanding god creatures to lift the moon in majora's mask to lifting giant stone slab in ocarina of time... Alot of these feats are aided with items though. I'm curious now to see where you're going to take this :)
8:45 looks like Kyle is getting a surprise lightsaber in the back from the tree
In Michigan here. 14f outside thanks polar vortex. And of course my wheel bearing busted and I have been trying to remove the old rusted one for 4 hours now.
1:07 nailed it
The editing in this was way over the top
10.50 hahahahahahahaha dam that was gold. Finished work hard day. Seen that. Brightened my whole day.
Doesn't Link wrestle cattle running straight for him in Twilight Princess?
That and his grappling hook must make him pretty strong.
Ok but even native plants to New Jersey where Gotham is probably located include:
All 3 of her namesakes, poison Oak, Ivy, Sumac.
Giant Hogweed (rare and invasive).
Wood nettle and stinging nettle (which are less obnoxious than tree nettles but still quite painful and acidic).
13:15 I thought he was going to say Peter Pan.😂
Oh, from that hint, I thought the next episode was gonna be about Peter Pan.
Kyle, this is actually in reference to the last live episode. (Cause TH-cam would not load the comments for me)
In the question about saving your breathe, I am pretty sure they were talking about movie where people are suffocating and they tell them not to talk, because they will run out of air faster.
To which my two cents would be, "it depends". Speaking and normal respiration should not have different rates of oxygen consumption, at least not a meaningful difference. However, the mental state of the person would. So, if talking helps them not panic and control their breathing, say by counting slowly or singing, then it would help them survive longer than if they sat still and panicked.A really nerdy thing for movies to do instead, would be to suggest that the trapped person take steps to make themselves colder and more wet. These triggers cause the body to reduce oxygen consumption.
At least, that is my understanding.
Oh, and when you talked about what you would do with infinite money, I believe the question was actually "What EXPERIMENT would you do, if you had infinite money".
Depending how you interpret that, I would say an orbital tether would be an interesting experiment. I'm not sure if that it the right name. It's the idea that you could build a space station at the end of a tether in such a way that the centrifugal "force" would make the mass of the station counteract much of the weight of the tether itself. Thus allowing a space elevator where the mechanical stresses are bi-directional and thus easier to engineer than a tower into space whose mass is completely supported by the ground.There are also a number of social experiments involving surveys or responses to stimuli that you could do if you had infinite money to ensure vastly large sample sizes which just aren't possible under normal budget constraints.
Not to mention all the theoretical applications for nanotubes or anti-matter. Experiments with both materials, due to cost and rarity, are few and far between but there are many theoretical applications that could be tested if money were not an obstacle. Nano-Batteries, anti-matter reactors, thrusters, and theoretical super materials are just a few experiments that could be done.
Infinite money would also be useful to back software experiments. AI research is limited in budgets because the developers have to be paid in the private sector. Which lead to a lot of advancement coming from college students doing projects or some small groups working on grants. Yes, Google, IBM, Amazon, Sun, and Microsoft (just to name a few biggies) are also putting money into it, but even that is driven by the bottom line. With infinite money, we could gather experienced people in multiple disciplines to answer the question, "Is it possible to make a true artificial intelligence"
I seem to recall the pitcher plant being used in a movie or animated show or something... But I forget what it was... Still, I remember it being horrifying as a child.
Anise is a very strong-smelling extract. Good for catching Kokanee, but not for much else.
Oh, when I watched the episode I thought exactly about putting those Manchineel trees in my rpg campaign
Can you do the same thing with Mario that you are doing with Link? He is SUPPOSEDLY a regular plumber, but the dude has a vertical of 2 to 3 times his own height in at least the original 3 games, and that IS NOT normal. Not to mention the other weird stuff, like doubling his size, throwing fireballs, flying with a raccoon tail, etc. So much cool science can be done with video games.
Actually that idea for a comic where plants are made to super oxygenate the world happened. And in the DC universe. It was in an issue of swamp thing. The run done by Allen more
Idc about what her plants do!!
I want to know how to control the plants
If I recall, the Triffids from the novel "Day of the Triffids" were based on Hogweed.
Good book btw
Very cold and snowy, 17° farenheit to be exact. Can you explain why we don't just use Kelvin or the farenheit version of it?
Hi, I've been watching for a long time and I have a random question that I wonder if you could answer.
Here on Earth as far as I know the moon plays a big role in the way the oceans move, I was wondering, if there was a completely Earth-like planet that had two moons, how would that affect its ecosystem? Could life still develop? Would humans be able to survive on it?
Branching off this, what would an earth like planet look like if its orbit around the sun and spin of the planet where the same. Meaning there was the same part of the planet always facing the sun, and the other half was in constant darkness. And the moon traveled the same as usual. How would that effect weather? Would there continually be a storm front around the circumference of the planet, dividing the desert side and the arctic side. And how would the moons tidal forces effect the weather. Also how fare away would the planet need to be from the sun to make it habitable and not unbelievably hot on the sun facing side, and inversely how close would it need to be to make the dark side warm enough for comfort.
I've been wondering, what would happen if the Earth's rotation around the sun was to completely reverse, as in going clockwise around the sun instead of counter-clockwise? Feel like this would be a cool episode.
@@mattduncil if one side is always facing the sun and the other never faces it then the sun side would burn to a crisp while the other side would freeze.
Just saying, you never showed or explained what it would take to shatter a frozen head, you talk briefly about the different effects and reactions of the process and then have a "strong man" punch a frozen head, providing evidence that it is possible, but instead of going deeper into your discovery you jump straight to jokes about how you guys are the brains and he does the killing?
That doesn't show the power needed, where are the measurements? And what is the baseline for breaking a head in this way so we can determine if he barely broke the head or if he was well above the required power, with no baseline you may be able to do it just as easily as the guy you hired to be stronger than you
Great video as always, love the show
Super man has a weird force feild that natrally surrounds him that does alot of things. Like help stopping items he catches being pierced by our super hero. It also prevents his clothes from being damaged. So I guess throwing hog weed sap would be blocked by the feild. Fill free to use that as a video idea.
I mean, if black salve chews through the portion of the body where the problem area is, it *does* get rid of said problem area.
Anyone else think he was talking about Peter Pan at the end?
I love the disclaimer "we don't think plants are evil and out to get you"
My dad actually used the lime/lemon juice thing to his advantage back in the 70's to bleach his hair when he was a teenager
Kyle is my kind of nerd. Knows so much about science and comics, yet has never bought one. I know more about comics than anyone I know and don't own any lol
Yo yo yo, I just wanted to thank you for referencing to watch the expanse. The show is sooooooooooo gooood!!!! *insert aggressive affection here* the science concepts and everything so well thought off its amazing! Love it love that you referenced it love to talk about it more would love more science shows like it besides my Tuesday and Thursday go to here, aka you baby Thor 😉
Yuuuuus.... as a LoZ fan, I have always wondered how strong the main man Link is.
Using a Redwood tree would be a tearable idea because Redwood trees take hundreds of years to grow to that massive size!
Are we factoring magical items to the equation? Because Link normally isn't able to lift very heavy objects unless he has one of those gauntlets. The master sword is not notably larger than a typical sword. And anything else he carries doesn't seem to be much notably larger or heavier than your average everyday item. Sure, he's more fit and athletic than your typical couch potato, but barring any assistance from magical items, I don't remember Link doing anything superhuman. Of course, with the assistance of those items, he can do some incredible things, but it's arguable whether we can attribute the strength to Link or those items at that point.
Well if we factor in games like Super Smash Bros , Link can at least make Bowser , who I'd classify as a pretty heavy object, fly?
@@ToabyToastbrot it's a really good point there. I think Link obeys the laws of the game here which still makes him not particularly outstanding from his smash brethren.
Link can only make the likes of Bowser fly if he first satisfies the condition of doing enough damage to him first. Once that condition is satisfied, or he connects a charged hit (both which are universal laws in the game that applies to everyone), then he can make said target fly. But this makes everyone in the game super human, including princess peach, which breaks the lore of her universe as well since she could arguably handle not only browser, but 3 other superhuman opponents simultaneously, thus making her capture in all the Mario games unlikely.
For the sake of simplicity, I think it's best to stay within the main universe of the game as it complicates the question significantly.
That grappling hook alone has been clocked at ridiculous amounts of force due to it's relative size compared to him and the distance and speed it travels. That hook is probably the most notable of all the regular items he uses because of that.
@@sixolddereks I wonder if the question here isn't a measure of his strength specifically but an examination of the limitations set by the laws of physics. There is an absolute limit to a person's strength given how much mass they have and the length of their appendages.
So if the grappling hook went fast enough, it would physically be impossible to hold onto it without severing your arm from the rest of your body, even if you had access to limitless strength.
It's a similar concept to resisting the push of something significantly more massive than you. All the strength in the world couldn't prevent the object from moving you. You would need something more massive than the object to support your own mass before you can stop it.
I'm pretty sure there was an old episode of BC where he talked about the Hookshot. Basically, if the recoil of firing the hook didn't rip his arm off, then the retraction (and subsequent pulling you along) would.
Hey Kyle, have you seen that new Chinese movie "Wandering Earth"? After seeing that science fiction movie, I was wondering just how much energy it would take to push the earth out of the sun's gravitational field, essentially to become a free-roaming object in space. Maybe this could be an episode of Because Science.
I've been wondering, what would happen if the Earth's rotation around the sun was to completely reverse, as in going clockwise around the sun instead of counter-clockwise? Feel like this would be a cool episode.
*Me at **13:21* Peter Pan isn't supposed to have super strength!
Nice Tim Minchin reference
Here's one for you... In the Avengers Endgame trailer Tony mentions that "food and water ran out four days ago". I thought you would only last three days without water. He seems in pretty good shape and lucid for someone who has gone without food and water for that length of time. Of course he says he ran out of water.... He could still have a few litres of his favourite fizzy beverage left (Irn Bru perhaps? Google it) Or perhaps he's just moved onto drinking his own pee. If he has, how long can you last on this? I'm sure you can do this once, but wouldn't the toxins build up and get you?
Oh and by the way - I love the channel keep up the good work.
In a survival situation drinking pee is actually detrimental to your health because its full of stuff your body is trying to get out.
The thing about Link sounds like a good idea for a colab video with MatPatt from GameTheory :)
YAASSS I always wanted to hear (another?) Legend of Zelda Because Science episode!!
Kyle seems a bit over caffeinated today.
Someone else already made a video about how strong link would have to be to parry a lyanel.
Can you do a video on Hyper-sonic missile weapons? Specifically, the best defense against them? For example, Russia is claiming to have Mach 27 missiles and what defense systems could be put in place to disarm, re-route or protect against?
Hiya, this is a bit irrelevant for the poison ivy topic but in the BZRK series there are twitchers who can control genetically engineered "limbs" that they use to lay wire to associate memories and emotions together to influence decisions. Can you do something about whether this would be possible and how, and the consequences of it
Next episode: is Link summersalting really faster than running?
Had my doing a double take with that Pokemon comment. I was like "Wait...did they change it?" Nope, 1x effectiveness. Would work just fine!
I had to come back to comment on this…
Is it bad that I hope we get another snow day so my kid can watch this with me and I can share his comments/corrections for the footnotes.
I didn't realise Pamela Eisely (spelling) was a doctor (presumably of botany).
Jesus, dude, you scared me! My family uses what we call black salve to draw out splinters all the time. I actually had to look it up because I was afraid we had nearly poisoned ourselves on so many occasions. But thankfully, it is not what you were referring to, it was ichthammol, which is also known by similar names to black salve.
I liked because of the medicine line
Ooh, can't wait for next episode. Love me some Legend of Zelda.
Wonder how many of Link's many strength-enhancing items Kyle's gonna go over...
I wonder just how many people before me were like: "Um, NO. Dark type does NOT resist Grass type attacks."
Well the giant hogweed can grow in Denmark (where almost no other dangerous plants can bc of weather/climate), so correcter guy is wrong, it's not a tropical plant, though i know the others are.
How about if Poison Bae just controls marihuana plant(plus other help) to get Batman high?
Anise, or aniseed, is pronounced æˈnis. The milk tasting of anise means it tasted somewhat like licorice or fennel.
The Sun may not be a comedian but it sure can give you one hell of a burn
Hey Kyle you should try making a video on tiberium from Warhammer!!!
I need help getting my Leviathan axe colder any ideas?
Hogweed: apparently so dangerous it messed up animal agriculture in the entire Warsaw pact.
5:23 just mix it with some good ol' kryptonite.
Of the carnivorous plants, sundews would be the most ghastly death, I think.
from nerd jokes to dads jokes... still love u tho
4:22 Kyle youre a tim minchin fan?
People from the US in February: * Cold as fuck *
Me, living in Latino America in February: * Hot as fuck *
What if additional photo-sensitivity caused Superman to become absurdly more powerful...?
Dang, Kyle has done a lot of super-hero-based videos for someone who never bought a comic book.
Kind of sad that nobody mentions Wolfsbane or Yew.
Do a video on how the kioken works on dragon ball Z and if possible.
Extra large Pitcher Plant = plant type Sarlak Pit?
Did anyone else think the next episode was about Peter pan?😂😂
Kyle, Kyle, kyle
A fun in the sun, is no fun, when the sun makes you well done
Most heroes from video games are beyond the strength and agility of a common person.
It's funny because as I was watching the original video I was thinking "I could throw these at my players and they won't know what hit 'em, muahahaha!!" Great minds think alike. lol
Poor Phil...
3:13 lol yeah and you just rolled a nat 20 on a mic-clip check
I'm not sure the phytoplankton idea would work because they're not plants. They are part of Kingdom Protista.
Got it. When I'm in Australia, just leave.
Come on australia is a nice place for sure. You just wanna make sure not to interact with the flora and fauna at all. And keep it from interacting with you. So yeah, might be safer to not go there in the first place.
The fauna and flora are fine. The real danger is the muppets in Canberra
lets not forget or ignore the possibility of Poison Ivy gene splicing the more horrific and nasty abilities into a single fast moving simi- sentience plant...or that of plot convenience and those that are beyond the realms of possibility but are accepted none the less to avoid pointless arguments with other nerds
Pitcher plants... the Sarlacc of the botanical world?
Or is the Sarlacc the pitcher plant of the SW bestiary?
So if this bloodroot kills the skin, and you have skin cancer, applying it to the specific area of the skin where the cancer is located wouldn't fix the problem by simply removing the skin?
I can understand why people would think that's what would happen. I see the logic in it.
Of course, if I had cancer and I heard about this "bloodroot" thing that might fix it, I wouldn't just jump right in and do it. I'd look more thoroughly into it and consult doctors to make sure my decision is properly informed, rather than just going off of the assumption that it sounds somewhat logical.
Critical thinking. Seems to be quite rare. I'm glad we have people like Kyle to promote it.
Damn good think I don't drink margaritas, or any alcoholic beverages.
Are you taking into account the fact that items like the Golden Gauntlets magically increase Link's strength?
#BecauseMagic
What? No subtle 'The Happening' references?
I was wondering... How would flight in Dragon ball work? In other words, how does Goku fly?
There shouldn't be any giant sequoias near Gotham unless they're planted there.
Link is the best boi
Ummm... did that guy really put Iron man in the DC Universe? Alrighty then...
I’m watching this before I go to sleep... 11:28 ... thanks for the nightmares. 😳🥵
Keep growing your beard man
If the pitcher plant "ate" Batman.... Could not Batman just cut himself free?
