"The more mass you have, the more stuff there is to poison."
And that's why I'm fat.
It’s a survival strategy
Oof
It's a great survival strategy. I'd take a lot of stabbing to kill as well. With quite a long knife.
I always thought it was ridiculous that Ivy didn’t just kiss Robin again, immediately after he removed the rubber layer from his lips. He was right there!
Because... plot !
So Poison Ivy's kiss is literally.... Cyanide & Happiness?
hahahaha that reference! Thank you!
i see what you did there
I think this man is actually a Logang o_0. I mean, it's not a problem to me but it's a problem to me
I don't know what a Logang is, but it does sound stupid.
Louis Victor well it is the third army of the devil with creationist and flat earthers being the two others

"Get back you slimy amphibian demon! I don't want any of your secreted poisons!" - Kyle Hill, 2018
Possible Quote of the Year?
Famous last words -- KH
Quote of the year, seconded.
Also, great default picture. I love those books
yeeeeeeeeeeeeees
"Mwahh~ That's for you, big boy" -Kyle Hill, 2018
Much better quote imo
I think last year was a tie between "Carry the science" while adding up (which I have stolen for my own use), and "Unexpected katana!".
Poison Ivy also controls her namesake, and usually her targets are tangled in a myriad of plants, so maybe the kiss is just a distraction for the real threat, poison colonoscopy.
Very hentai of you
the fact that most of her vines have plenty of thorns makes this even deadlier, and more painful. and somewhat more fucked up as well
Hot
Wait... poison colonscopy was an option? Shit man, she could have just lead up with that!
Her: "Hey... you want me to send a large amount of poisonous creeper vines rammed into your various orifices?"
Me: "Hell fucking yeah!"
Ouch.
'It's important to note that his information comes from rats' *drops a swarm of rats on his head*
+Because Science:
One issue with Poison Ivy secreting a cyanide compound is that cyanide is poisonous to all vertebrates. It bonds with hemoglobin and myoglobin in a way that prevents either of them from being able to transport or uptake oxygen. Her being human(ish), and bleeding red blood (at least from every comic I have been able to find) it would mean that she would be just as susceptible to her toxin as the person she is kissing.
Instead of Poison Ivy having a single poison, I think it would be more likely to be a cocktail of plant poisons working in concert.
For instance :
1) Calcium Oxalate crystals of the leaves of the Dumbcane, would cause abrasions in the mouth and throat during the kiss.
2) Combined that with the Phorbol of the Manchineel tree, those abrasions would quickly blister, swell and cause bleeding.
3) Finally Coniine from Hemlock, given access to the blood stream from the action of the first two compounds, it would paralyze the victim's esophagus, mouth, and face.
The result is the victim would experience an excruciatingly painful death as their throat and esophagus blistered and swelled shut unable to clear itself as they suffocated to death. Not an instant kill, but an attack that would quickly debilitate a victim as they impotently writhed on the ground searching for breath that would not come.
She's immune to all toxins so....
You are evil...
I love it.
Just a quick question if someone where to do this irl how would they protect themselves from the toxins you have mentioned.
@@kineu.xxxstudios8384 Well, she's a metahuman and they defy any law of physics, so...
Literally every time I buy a Snickers Almond I tell the checkout clerk "got to get my daily dose of Cyanide!" I'm surprised I only have to explain it to half of them :)
I feel very conflicted seeing Kyle with that red lipstick on O_O
Did someone need to buy Kyle lip gloss, or did he 'just happen' have it with him?
Evil Otto this video posed more questions than it answered 😅
Hey you do you -- KH
I definitely do not. I'm down for trap thor
Elena Tonyuk Kyle is Jewish gay and you are feminist you both sucks
Great episode. Worth noting that antidote to cyanide you mentioned, atropine, is also plant-based, derived from some varieties of nightshade. Fits perfectly with Ivy's shtick.
You might say it fits with her... lip. shtick.... >_> I'll go now.
Atropine... Is not an antidote to cyanide
I know this is a year late, but atropine works by activating your sympathetic system. Cyanide stops the electron transport chain. These things are in no way related, and atropine certainly doesn't act as an antidote to cyanide
It DOES act as an antidote to cholinergic poisons, like nerve agents/organophosphate compounds (Sarin, Tabun, VX, novichok, etc)
Edit: In addition, it's much more likely that she makes use of tropane alkaloids like atropine itself, hyoscamine, scopolamine, or other cardiotoxic alkaloids like aconitine or veratridine, the latter of which is capable of being absorbed through the skin
In cases where Ivy's poison is a result of a mutation, rubber lips could possibly help if she developed stinging cells on her lips, such as those found in stinging nettles, as the primary means of administering poison. This would also mean that venoms, as well as poisons, would be in her arsenal.
Would a bullet fired at an ant (or ant-man) kill/ hurt the ant? Or would aerodynamics move them out of the way?
Oooooh, interesting.
Hopefully someone answers this.
He still weighs the same to my knowledge so I don't think he would be moved out of the way. Could be wrong tho.
Anthony was killed by a bullet. Granted Scott was sitting on...him? so honestly, I can't tell either
All you have to do is change the scale. Would a bullet weighting 1,000lbs fired at you push you out of the way or just smash you.
Followup question to this: Would a bullet fired from a gun by Ant-man in his atomic level move faster and go further due to the lack of wind resistance?
What if Poison Ivy kissed Rogue from X men? Would Poison Ivy die or would Rogue?
Michael Restivo rogue
galacto mistro. Are we talking smooch or make out sesh?
It depends.
If Ivy resistance to toxin came is power Rogue would strip her of itand she would die from being drained of her "life force" or by her toxins but if it is the result of a continous exposition to them then Rogue would probably die after having drained Ivy.
So in the best case we have a single corpse, in the worst two.
If it was just a quick brush of the lips, Rogue would die because she wouldn't have time to absorb Ivy's life force, and would be killed by the toxin. However, assuming that Ivy's resistance is a "power", in a lengthier session, Ivy's toxin resistance would be transferred to Rogue. The question then would be if Ivy would be killed by Rogue's life force drain or her own toxic lipstick.
Ivy's resistance is a power, but it's a magical power derived from her connection to The Green (arcane representation of the plant life). Rogue's power, AFAIK, only works on mutant X-genes (so even metahumans wouldn't be universally susceptible).
Roses are red
But I do not care
Because Kyle has the most amazing hair.
6:12
Roses are red;
My ex is a whore.
Chris Hemsworth is fired -
We found a new Thor.
I didn't know that I needed Lipstick-Kyle in my life, but now that I have it I'm never giving it up.
who's kyle? did you mean thor?
Hoping this one makes it to the Vlog:
In researching this episode (and other similar-topic episodes in the past), how many government watch lists do you think you've gotten on?
All of them XD
The Library 7
Dr.Weavile, PhD OMG I was just saying that Kyle needs to do a video with matpat! I can't believe I'm not the only one who's comparing the two of them. But I'm really happy to see that I'm not alone. xD
Jordan Brown Why though? One is a Fnaf theorist, and the other is a person who uses science to try and get as theoretically close to the source material to prove a point, or idea.
Dr.Weavile, PhD I was going to say the same
thank you for using the metric system
I started the series using Imperial units, but I want the math to be more accessible -- KH
Metric system > English system
The lipstick made my day. Omg lol
Much better when it's not on Nerdist.
It's the same
redstone craft guy But it's not of Nerdist. That slight difference makes it 100x better.
5:40
I was watching this in the hopes of seeing Kyle in lipstick. I was not disappointed.
This is why we need lip condoms
Google "Dental Dam"
wowlumi Oh yeah, forgot all about does. They'd be more memorable with a name like "Lip Condoms" lol
th-cam.com/video/1hXX5dD8O9A/w-d-xo.htmlm35s
Daubeny Haha lol
"Rubber lips are immune to your charms"
Strychnine would also be a promising candidate for her poison. It acts deadly very fast especially through the mucous membranes in doses of 30 mg and more and it comes in a potent poison cocktail with brucine and colubrin in Strychnos nux-vomica. In general, individual poisons are always weaker than a cocktail of many different poisons that potentiate each other. In addition, the antidote physostigmine is also plant-based.
Always entertaining and great seeing the science behind all the pop culture shenanigans we see from day to day. Thanks Kyle Hill!
My kids love watching because science and my 10 year old daughter has taken a distinctive liking to the sciencing world because of your TH-cam channel.
Keep'em coming!
+Because Science question, can we uild an omnitrix??, how it would work with real science??
Yes, I would love to see this episode!
Here I’ll answer it for you
No
Can we build an Interossiter ?
"Oh thank you, oh wait, POISON! PUH PUH, PUH!"
Wow
By far my favorite TH-cam channel
This was one of your best!!!!
Kyle Hill, dropping us with knowledge. Loving these videos!!
Thank you Karl! -- KH
How is that Batman and Robin costumes had nipples, but Batgirl's was just plain :( #WeWantedEquality #NipplesforBatgirl
The batnips are completely misunderstood. It's all about aerodynamics. Batman and Robin are so incredibly buff that their chest muscles actually catch the wind and hamper their movements. Think of the nips as a nose cone for a rocket ship. Where as Batgirls built in bullet proof bra adds the support needed for optimal movement speed.
The suits are modelled after someone in their underwear. A guy in his undies would have exposed nipples while a woman would have a bra on. That and the flamboyant gay guy thing Cameron mentioned.
.........hell yeah!!!!......
How do I remember Alicia Silverstone having batnips?
Its because alfred designed the suit and didn't want to sexualize his niece (btw batgirl is alfred's niece in the movie)
I love that this video about my favourite character came out on my birthday. xD Love your vids, keep em coming.
This is perhaps the best episode of Because Science yet. You are getting way too good at this.
Thought this was a false alarm like last time Kyle
Lucifer Morningstar such a cruel tease
The FattStuff ikr
SOMEONE MADE A MISTAKE ALRIGHT DANG -- KH
Because Science too many sugar packets in the first take? Just playing keep it up! One of the best shows on TH-cam
Really? Btw, how realistic could the machine in The Forest be? Spoiler alert: The one at the end in the laboratory, that the player uses to revive their son?
Mmm I love when you talk about death, don't stop
CROblazer420 did you get hot?
Not in a gay way tho, I just wanna die haha
Mors certa, hora incerta.
Damn it mr filthy
This may be my favorite Because Science video yet!
Dude, we need more of these. Superhero and villain, as well as anime scientific explanations, are so cool! Thank you.
How would you prepare an antidote for that poison, and how much time would you have to delivere that antidote to the poisoned person?
*Because Science!!*
Love the visualization!
5:59 ...and now the mascara, eyeshadow, & blush.
Good. Good.
This channel deserves more views and subscribers. I guess everyone is busy finding dead bodies.
I'm actually proud of how well we are doing for just 3 weeks of channel existence, but yes, smash that sub button -- KH
4:18 Tim Curry rocky horror show
Philip Roberts Oh yeah, the way he said that hahaha
This is my favorite channel. You are awesome.
Mr. Awesome Hair Hill, your videos are getting better and better!!!
Sweet!! I'm not the 10,000th comment. Lol. Hey Kyle. Could you do an episode about Flash being able to perceive events faster than an atto second? If he is able to travel at that speed as well... Wouldn't he be going so fast that he would be running in complete darkness? Or would there still be light ahead of him due to ambient light from other sources other than the sun? LOVE YOUR SHOW!!! Thank you for reading.
My fave part is you getting pelted with stuff 😂 fun stuff. But nah, I loved it.
These videos always make me laugh randomly when u do somethin silly i love it
Poison dart frogs are that way because of their diet, frogs taken from the wild and fed different foods become non toxic. Love the show by the way super glad you got this channel set up!!!
What about her pheromone mind control?
Kyle is best
Also second
you admitted it … trying for "First"
*CONGRATS!* you _WIN 1st PRIZE!_ th-cam.com/video/bXzUcqQM8qw/w-d-xo.html
Waluigis_Meme_War he's illuminati how he's best Jews not good are shit
How am I just finding this channel now? Subbed
Extra points for the lip shade matching your shirt!
Wouldn't this that after every application she would have to wipe away ( or in the crystal form chisel) the toxins? And on a further note, wouldn't this render her "love slave blow" just as toxic as her kiss? (And on a unrelated but kinda related note, Harley Quinn must be immune to cyanide given how many kisses from Ivy she has taken.)
Hozimina. Its obviously something done selectively.
DrewLSsix she's also immune herself. Remember? "I hate shots"
Felicity Smoak
I hope the actress isn't aware of this -- KH
It is cool to see something that isn't tied directly to a movie or game coming out soon. It's cool to see something that isn't in every commercial. Great video.
This might be your best one yet.
Thank you Chad! -- KH
I almost caught an early viewing yesterday after you guys uploaded it yesterday lol!
Jess_Marie_G. I was a couple of minutes late
I clicked right away but it was almost immediately hidden.
that cruel cruel notification bell
For ease of delivery and inevitability of death, the best answer is dimethylmercury.
But is it both extremely fast acting, and derived from plant matter?
Valandar2. Yup, its gota fit the theme. I mean, she could probably get a lot more work done with a few guns or some pipe bombs.... but shes got a theme to work with!
It's an organic compound, so it theoretically could be plant derived. It is commonly found in Hg-contaminated bacteria (it's often found in wetlands and oceanic bacterial colonies). Fast acting is a relative term. An adult human subject won't drop dead in a few minutes, but rather famously a academic chemist died from exposure to a tiny amount of dimethylmercury which came in contact with her latex glove clad hands.
Yeah I saw the chubbyemu vid too, but in terms of a fast-acting toxin, that process takes months -- KH
Months, smonths. Geologically speaking, that's no time at all.
Is there a possibility that your videos could be more than 10 mins in the future? 20 mins? 30 Mins? I'd love to see this as a T.V show someday!! Keep up the good work!
great episode i love it when you look at things from nature
6:14 I think Kyle just turned me gay...
Masterwizard25 me too
Realy
Tommy Campbell wot
@@TommyTheVamp r/woosh
Kype acts and makes jokes that should be cringy but arent
I get many messages from kids and families, so I try to include stuff for them as well. That's very important to me -- KH
Peyton Hislop kype?
This is the first video I see,wooow its awesome,I suscribed even before the video ended!
This is the second time he's said "thank you for watching Gregory" and as such I just have to say hello back. I love everything this channel does cuz I'm a science nerd and a super weeb. Love you guys. Long time viewer, first or second time commenter. Just wanna say I love everything you do.
You know all of your videos you have ever made you, You come to a very plausible answer. I wonder what things in can't be explained by science.
Poison Ivy's very fast growing plants. Batman's hook that doesn't rip his arm off. Hulk mass transformations. Basically, every theme in his videos. All of them starts assuming that a bunch of things that wouldn't be possible actually are.
Rigid fictional stuff, like religion
That's cool and all, but should we address a BIGGER ISSUE: Her name.
Poison Ivy should be called "Venomous Ivy", since she's the one poisoning you by a kiss. You don't get poisoned by eating her (if you know what I mean).
BTW, Kyle is incredibly fabulous with lipstick on.
Sheol_IK But Poison Ivy is a plant right, and she has plant powers.
Yes this is true if she is injecting venom into your blood stream but if its ingestion its poison and for the eating part thats eat at your own risk lol.
Sheol_IK Venom goes in the blood, I believe. Poison is correct.
Yep. Diana Gabaldon put it best in one of the Outlander books:
"If it bites you and it makes you sick, it's venomous.
If you bite it and it makes you sick, it's poisonous."
Hey Kyle today at my school my principal showed a video of you in assembly it was the one about the bike with the switched handles, he was talking about how the brain has to learn things and overcome. Thought that was pretty cool thanks for always making great and educational videos
Black Jesus hi Jesus
ĺ
I love the after effects of this video
Sorry but was it Chobot or Bowser throwing stuff at you Kyle?
Chobot would have thrown harder -- KH
ayyyyyyye
Is there any way that the floating mountains from Avatar could be possible?
DynamiteArc
If there is a strong magnetic field and the mountains are made of a diamagnetc material i think it could be possible
KaosEmperor yeah but it would probably spin around, not mention it would move because of wind and would fall in a area without magnetic force
I read an article around the time that Avatar came out that postulated that if "unobtanium" was a room temperature superconductor, it would both be extremely valuable, and would would be held aloft by a strong magnetic field. So in a word: yes.
Timothy Haldane Or it could be that the entire planet surface is capable of holding the mountains up, therefore, while they'd be able to move, they would not fall. Maybe?
The backdrop for this triggered me. I'm watching this on my TV, and I thought my tv had dead pixels. I paused the video and walked up to the set and groaned, because I thought there were about 6 or 7.
Turns out, it was just in the video! UGH. You really had me going there.
SO to Kyle for matching his lipshade to his ensemble
Why a plant can evolve to become insectivores rather then directly absorbing Nitrogen from atmosphere??
vanshit shah specific other things i guess
Some plants are. They are called....
...wait for it...
...wait for it...
... Carnivorous Plants.
Because atmosperic nitrogen is extremely stable and hard to use in chemical reaction an without some spacial symbiontic bacteria they cannot assimale it moreover they live in place with extremely low assimilable-nitrogen levels so they devoleped special structures to catch and digest insects.
Some of them even developed special symbiosis with some rodent, the plant secret a sugary fluid that attract the mouse and in return the mouse shit inside the modified leaf.
And before you ask no, i'm not kidding, that is true.
vanshit shah because nitrogen in the air is inert and extremely hard to break down. Also they found out cheaper ways to do it, like eating insects or using cyanobacteria in a mutual relationship
KaosEmperor:
Spot on.
This video got very hot, very quickly ;)
She's always been my favourite female villain! Thank you so much for this and bravo! I can't believe I never thought of this question. Also, that colour goes so well with your sweater!
You are hilarious! I love this!
First of all: the average human weighs 62 kg? Thx for making me feel fat
2. 6 kg =14 pounds? 1 pound=0,5 kg, 6 kg=12 pounds! Or nah?
And did u know that nicotine is more toxic than arsenenic and cyanide? To all the smokers out there...:DDDDD
1 pound = 2.2 kg
62 kg = 136.4 lbs
actually, 1 pound is 0.453592 kg, so 6 kg are 13.23 pounds
MajorMoron if you are tall then you will still be healthy but heavier.
62 kg = female, a midget, or a walking twig who desperately needs to do some lifting and eat a cheeseburger.
I was suicidal anyway, but thanks for confirming my opinion of myself dude!
Why is Saitama (One Punch Man) so OP.
There is no science for that. His punches we're discussed in a previous episode.
Because he does 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, and runs 10 km every day. EVERY DAY.
Because he removed his limiter.
but wat is that limiter
That you should be asking to the author, dude.
Love the show!
I didnt think this show could get better.but it has and this was the best episode yet.
NIPS AND LIPS FOR LIFE!!
? reupload?
What do you mean -- KH
Because Science there was a notification yesterday for this episode
Because Science it was uploaded yesterday but was taken down
I got notification 16 hours before this video- The same title and all. Then got a notification again about the time I left this comment.
I too got notifications !!
But kisses get you pregnant!!!
Love this episode...it takes me back to pharmacy school :) :) :)
Thanks for explaining LD50 to the layman.
Let me just say... I'm glad this became it's own channel, I get science stuff 2x a week and I don't really care all that much for the other stuff on Nerdist (not to say anything bad about the rest of the crew, the other stuff just don't catch my attention as well as this dose).
Also, would River Song have something similar to this in Doctor Who? She did try to kill the doctor once with a Kiss, and more often uses something to just mess with people's minds (with hallucinations) with the a kiss... This is assuming she can render herself immune to the substance as well.
Im a HUGE fan of science so i love this channel
5:59 That's a real good color you, there. If you ever decides to explore make up (rather than use it as a convenient and relevant prop) you might want to find some lip liner and pair it with some warm, light browns for the eye shadow.
Keep throwing stuff at Kyle in coming episodes! haha
Kyle smacking lips and putting that perfectly picked shade of red with so much expertise won me over. Love this channel and how much I laugh learning nerdy things. #BecauseScience
great video
Fun fact the golden poison arrow frog is about the size of the tip of your pinky finger if anyone was wondering.
Also I freaking love the animations and just this channel in general. So entertaining and informative
This one was pretty fun :D
5:35 Made my day!!
That lipstick looked so nice with your shirt. Also, great episode!
Thank you so much! -- KH
lol, i was not expecting that when you mentioned "visualizations" for how much of that would kill you. 10/10 would science again. btw, could you explain how fast would a speedster need to go to run on water and/or fly?
6:12 i can never unsee that. . .
4:21 I can HEAR the smile.
I just had a thought about magneto stopping bullets. A lot of bullets used are wrapped in a copper jacket and copper resists changes in magnetic fields so couldn't he in theory create a magnetic field and the copper resist it losing more and more momentum until they are completely harmless
What about an additionally contratrated ricen?(since technically ricen powder is concentrated) Which would give some of her symptoms with out the latter symptoms which are exibited later on in ricen posioning but not at the beginning of it allowing for her quick kill
This episode looked more fun to make than watch and it was hilarious
