Slime mold: like that uniquely cool kid you want to hang out with but your other friends just think is "weird"...
grow a pair
am i similar to that slime mold? lol, i have this one good friend that are good with me in private, but cold with me everytime he walks with his friends.
And yes, im fully aware that i may look (positively) weird compared to his friends,
and i also aware they may boring to me as well m
@@male20yearsoldsounds like you just have a fake friend who just wants to be with you to waste time until he’s with other friends
I welcome our new slime mold overlords.
I absolutely love the personal touch Tasha's videos have developed. She created a nice niche for herself on one of TH-cam's best channels.
They do seem smart when they solve mazes and such. I had colleagues who were studying these organisms for robotics research. One of the slime molds was named Bob the Blob and having met him I can confirm he was a slimy blob! Almost cute in its own way.
I believe it! 😃
200 million years later
Slithersucker: Ah, college days were the best.
A The Future is Wild fan, neat!
Slime mold at the lab: "Life is hard, but conveniently predictable."
The salt on the bridge
"It gets easier every day. But you have to do it every day, that's the hard part"
Slime molds are jerks. They killed my shiitake mycelium pile.
sawdust substrate? shiitake take quite a while to develop fruiting bodies once the mycelium dominates the substrate, like up to a year or more in some situations, so I feel your pain!
I guess the microclimate was more favorable to the slimemold than to your mycelial culture...or it was just opportunistic and moved in and through way faster.
Contamination is the enemy in my experience (limited though it is)
@@samhaines8228 Solid logs. Thee years old, killed in one night. Once the mold was in, there was no hope.
Thanks for the perspective! Doesn't make me like the molds any more, though. The speed it moved at was really shocking! Only took one rain.
@@MadamFoogie that would be shocking! wow!
@@samhaines8228 For clarity, it was a chocolate tube slime. So gross and hairy looking. And it was HUGE! Stretching like twenty yards, trailing a b-line right into my log pile. I had no idea it could move that fast and in such volume. I still gag just thinking of it.
Hmmm. Sorry for your loss. Interesting conversation.
You see now if someone calls you a Slime Ball, take it as a compliment.
😂
Wow, I've known about Slime Molds for a long time, but this is the first time I've ever heard that they're actually Amoebas. You learn something new even when watching videos on subjects you've heard and watched many times already.
Once they are able to communicate with Orcas, it’s over for us
I love these slime molds... They are beyond fascinating and they really challenge our conceptualization of intelligence.
Love that Ze Frank joke at the end.
Had a colony of these peeps pop up a few days ago. They had the most vibrant yellow.
Hey Tasha! LOVE your kitty Rumi ❤❤❤
Aww such a cute kitty 🐈😊
I've been waiting for an episode on slime molds forever!! ❤ So glad it finally came!
The cat is so cute!
This was fascinating, thank you!
Slime molds are fascinating!
Also, that kitty 😍
Venom got that adrenaline momentum
I love the cat roomie adorable little guy
The information and presentation on slime molds was incredibly fascinating, but the blooper reel was truly funny, heartwarming and endearing 😊
I loved this video and I LOVE your cats and the bond you share with them.
LOL I play "om-noms" with my Chihuahua.😂
Hello Animallogic! Thank you 🙏 for another badass video!
Tasha, great video, love your shirt!
Amazing footage of them
YES, a video on slime molds! Love these weird little guys!
I wonder if Slime Molds could be used as organic tissue in a robot.
Some of these photos look like tasty desserts! 1:23 reminds me of caramel sticks dusted with cocoa powder.
They're fascinating!!
Never thought these rudimentary looking life forms could be this intelligent.
Great video. I learned something new.
Awesome information and funny😂😂
Tasha, your cat is adorable.
Tasha, @Animalogic, you are the kind of person most people don't even know they wish they knew/had in their lives. So smart, funny, amiable, nevermind beautiful. You make learning easy, like the elementary or junior high school teacher every kid wished they had. If you ever have kids, they will never know now lucky they are, compared to.... well... gurl. You see where we at.
Cool. Thanks for sharing.
love the smile (the kitten did not hurt) and a fun presentation
I love slime mold!!! Great video
I love this channel ❤
6:26 i dont think they went that way. i think there is a shorter way between those two points
OMG 🤩 it finally happened! Slime molds!
Please talk about phantom orchids next!
The fact that science assumes most of the biosphere is "unintelligent" or "lacks intelligence".... reeeeaaaally bothers me... 😑
Yeah as if intelligence isn’t a massive advantage for any multicellular organism to have. I do wonder if it is just because of the whole human centric world view. Like since we are the only species with intelligence like ours we believe that ours is the main or best form of intelligence while other forms of intelligence aren’t values or studied as much as a result or from the lens of us.
@@victory8928 Precisely. That view bothers me. All living things possess some form of intelligence. I'm glad that people are finally starting to see it, thou. I've been aware of it all my life.
Ive heard of using this biology for a baseline of new computing. Theoretically it can be on the level of quantum computing using less power and having creativity. What a neat biologic way of computing. I think its brilliant.
Thanks again
Next time I feel underestimated I'll say "I feel like brainless amoeba."
Hi, Tasha! Hi kitty!
Okay but did it build an immunity to the salt, learn the path, or get motivated with the confirmation of the treat?
Oh my gosh I frickin LOVE slime molds!!
Scarier than Cordyceps or Alien. Yikes.
So much love to Rumi!!!
Imagine aliens visit earth and they’re living balls of snot, nature never fails to surprise 🫣👽👾
TASHA is INSANE!!!!😁
I love liverworts.
The green ones are my favorite 🐸
One more thing, before I somber off back to a warm, damp corner to munch on oats.
Slime molds have been used in wristwatch heart monitors! They're electrically conductive and the wearer has to keep the slime happy and healthy for the watch to function, generally by feeding them oats! It's a symbiotic relationship and it gets the patients to form a healthy attachment to their goopy partners while at the same time helping themselves to some good mental health.
Slimes deserve love! Doki doki~
I know slime mold is an amoeba. But the yellow slime mole looks similar to the opening sequence for ‘The Last of Us.’ 😂😂😂
Next: Giant one cell creatures
I'm a very happy slimegirl now, thanks!
I can't remember if you did a video on this already, but chlorella and spirolina have some really neat histories beyond being health supplements.
It would also be good to do videos on the invasive plants in Ontario. There were a few more added this year that definitely deserve some coverage and awareness.
If its spores is it not possible for it to go the other way? I mean. Orchid seeds can travel far bc its so small, lightweight making them airborne
Tasha is the greatest because she loves plants 😎
How about an episode on Bromeliads, like those that act like nurseries for amphibians and Tillandsias that can grow on wire?
At another channel I suggested Slime Mould abilities utilised a kind of analogue computation. Cue a lot of confusion over the terms "analogue" and "computation".
These days, Slime is smarter than most uni students.
Aaaw... cute catto 🥰
Talk about Dotter plants next yeah
Already done ✅ th-cam.com/video/erIgEEZ_tmo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hmNXVPwlntwlHRfu
I wrote a character once as a kid who had a symbiotic relationship with an otherwise parasitic slime mold. And now witching this I'm realizing a lot of the intelligence I gave it is a lot closer to reality that 13 year old me could have realized.
06:22 Thanks for acknowledging Zealandia as a continent!
Rumi is adorable
Oohh a special guest! 🐱
D'awwww I'm a fool for Siamese cats
I would like to see a video on araucarias, the ancient gymnosperm from South America 🇧🇷
Amoebas dont have cell walls. They may have shells like testate amoeba, but not cell walls. Slime molds don't have cell walls, their spores do. Correct me if I'm wrong.
wow!
You said that people walked around in the snow with their shorts on where you came from. So you are Canadian also?
kitty!!! 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
Egon Spengler has entered the chat.
The yellow slime looks like raw Scrambled eggs
Now can it give me the square root of 256?
Slime mold is looks really 'sci-fi'
how big can a slime mold grow in terms of the area it covers?
slime mold so cool
They look like Dr Seuss trees!
capcom better have this as the main driving force in the next resident evil game
Gee Wally slime mold did my homework faster than chat gpt 4
There’s a monster bursting out of your stomach!!!
Cool
Venom and Carnage waiting to evolve.
Rock Hyrax please!
Nooooot the vid to watch while wearing headphones. My poor misophonic ears
This is how op is collective conciousness
Today, a touch of X file! Hardly identifiable creature is on. Extremely intriguing & fascinating! A future companion to mankind .....?
❤ Rumi
These little creatures must be in the kingdom of Protists.
It"s not really intelligence as much as mathmatics. When you watch a slime spread out you may notice that it forms a shape not dissimilar to the A* algorithm which is also used for efficient pathfinding to a destination. We already see many mathmatical principles within biology such as the fibonacci spiral allowing for the formation of everything from snail shells to flowers, so having more elaborate algorithms baked into biologcal behavioirs is not unexpected.
How is Tasha the Amazon's career as a rapper going?
1:30 - Where did Rumi go? 😢
How about venomous land critters and water critters that people play with without knowing that it could kill them.
They make veins!!
Love the cats. But why do they think the slime mold traveled over the ocean. Instead of just being as old as Gondwana? Just separated by time.
