- Scientists who piece together our past can do so through the rare fossil or artifact, or they can go to one convenient location: a hyrax latrine.

“Poo from the past.”
Deja Poo? 😂
Maybe... if you ate it?!
@@phinxlion what
I've just *peed* this place before!
Okay, I actually laughed aloud. ;-)
that's a new meaning for "Time Capsule"
Time Turds!
Past Poos!
Fecal Fossils!
Glenn Griffon. Wicked! Xxx
Crap capsules
Time Kacksules
Coprolites.
@@rayruiz7938: *Crapsules
Iftfy.
*_When future archaeologists find my fossilized excrement, they'll be amazed by my diet of pure protein powder and trenbolone_*
Damn hank have you been working out?
@@FIRE_STORMFOX-3692 Muscle Hank is *always* working out!
Hey, he's back.
After all of this time away, you must have been working out.
Although muscle hank is a cool meme, i realized: how do we bold and italicize youtube comments?
We call them Dassies in South Africa.
They're one of my favourite animals ❤
"Preserves pieces of the past in piles of poo". Perfect !
Human middens are treasure troves for archaeologists, too.
Yes it tells the story of the change from McDonald's to burger king
South African here! The way you guys pronounce fynbos is funny. We call hyraxes "dassies" 😁
This world never ceases to amaze
Dassies!
Some people in South Africa use petrified dassie poo to make tea. Yes, you read that right.
I would hate to have that job, because every day at work would be a shitty day at work. lol🤣😂
Turd Tardis ⏲
Turdis flown by Doctor Poo
“Middens” reminds me of a cat’s name...”here Middens! Here kitty! Come on Middens!”
If you've got a cold.
Hyrax Midden sounds like a place in LOTR.
So, The Midden beneath the college of Winterhold IS a time capsule of forbidden knowledge and secrets...
And now it was also probably a communal latrine.
Thanks scishow :D
...you had me at 'turd'
*I just love the way they simplify complex concepts for general people to understand. This channel is a great source of motivation for me. I hope I reach their level one day.*
The only thing I want to know about poo right now is where can I get some toilet paper. 😬
KarlBunker That’s why I always get a receipt
A joy to watch, good job, well presented !
We have a place where everyone goes to throw their crap out there and it gets preserved for a long time: social media..
Dear Scishow! I am glad to have stumbled on this channel several years ago! You have inspired me to start my own channel and my second video of "Why There May Be a VR Exodus"!
Nice! I'll take a look into it!
New resource for Africa: hyrax guano. Wars were fought over seabird guano off the coast of Peru before the Haber Process allowed the cheap (but extremely energy intensive) manufacture of chemical fertilizer. Today, we are running out of Phosphate Rock (which at least in FL is apatatite--fosilized shark teeth). Manure rises again!
i´ve been waiting for the next poop video for so long ... finally, i´ll take it
Hey can you make one on why we use pillows, how we came to use them, etc. I personally hate them, I can't use pillows as they make my neck hurt.
lifeincolour09 i found one (in the U.K.) made by silent night designed for anti-snoring that really works well for my neck :) most are too high and hurt!
This one has like a slight edge support but is lower in the middle to open the airway on your back, but support your neck if you are on your side. I’m sure there must be other brands that do similar shapes. Or you could look up the Japanese head supports that are traditionally used with futons? I am not sure what they are called (sorry!) but they may be better?
Me too! I can't stand using pillows 90% of the time. I only like using one when I'm camping because the ground is hard enough that I actually need the added support of a pillow - where normally I don't because I sink into the mattress. I'm also a front/side sleeper, so that probably doesn't help.
Awesome video i really liked it keep it up!👍
Awwww! And they are adorable too!!
Very similar to the way giant sloths did with their cave middens.
Dassies! ❤️
Hi. I really enjoy your videos and I usually just play your Uploads playlist and let it just keep going until I get to the videos I've seen already. But of late the playlist isn't updating itself (being updated?). I don't want to make demands but if there's a way to remedy this, is very much appreciate it.
Thank you very much for creating this and all your other channels.
Oh my god I'm wearing an exact doppelganger of that sweater today
past in poo is my favorite magic card
i just preserved my bowl of yogurt. With time, you can tell how often there is a poo related topic.
Love you all
Jobs that I never knew I never wanted...
Hydrax sounds like a water pokemon.
Guy at 1:02 looks like he's seriously considering giving a bite.
Yummy 😌
Scishow is my kids new science class
✌🏻
Awesome,
lots of good info 👌🏻
I love listening to Oliva now. She's improved a lot, I think.
Thanks, Olivia, for a fun forgetful few minutes!
In Ducth midden means middle. Kinda fitting.
In Britain 'midden' means dunghill or refuse heap.
Kinda surprising to hear it associated with animals.
Love Scishow!
Latrinal legacy wow
Could we get more info on Hyracium on SciShowPee?
Dr. Malcolm: That's one big pile of s**t.
Hyraxes: You ain't seen nothing yet.
Wow!
Now I wonder how Metal Hyraxes look like? :)
We saw a bunch of hyraxes in Ein Gedi while hiking, they’re such weird little creatures
First thing I noticed were their feet. Very elephant-like.
@@gwarscout1825 They have little tusks too.
GWAR scout
That’s because elephants are their closet living relatives, alongside manatees.
Hyrax Midden sounds like something from LOTR. :)
aka "Dassie" (pronounced Dussy) in local parlance.
Skate makes the world go round.
where are the closed captions?
Apparently a midden is a place for waste. So all the time I've spent in the Midden at the College Of Winterhold... I was standing in... "waste".
Hyrax is the Lorax..
wow!
time capsule turds - a punk rock band
Idea for next video: How soaps and detergents are removed in the water treatment process. The only information I've found about it is that a chemical reacts with it, forming a precipitate that is removed.
This is what my guinea pigs would do if I didn't clean their cage often enough >_>
50.000 years shitting in the same place?
Now that's dedication!
I saw the thumbnail and thought it was Bobby Moynihan too!!
Here's an idea:
Eat plenty of beans and broccoli before bed.
That way the flatus will turn your bedsheets into fumigation tents, killing all of the bedbugs.
r/ TIHI- thanks, I hate it
I suspect that bedbugs tolerate flatus better than people. They can live up to 6 months between meals. Lower metabolism correlates with lower oxygen demand.
Wait - isn't this a rehash of a previous 'sode? I'm pretty sure I remember SS (Hank?) talking about this a while back...
Hi SciShow ! I have a burning question for you! I love mangoes but sometimes the mangoes taste like gasoline! I can’t figure out if it’s me or it’s the mango. To my friends they just taste like mangoes but not as sweat! Please answer my question I would really appreciate it! Thank you ~
*The sacred texts!*
She looks like Amy from TBBT
Shuvam samadder except cooler 😎
Aww, they have teeny-tiny hooves!
They actually have little column feet with flat nails like elephants.
how is it that i have not once heard of these fluffy floofers and why are they not domesticated yet
2:00 are they common really or endangered?? #yolo
*Midden Hyraceum* sounds like a character from Harry Potter
I'm watching this while eating.
1:00 “Now that’s a big pile of s#!t.”
Awwwwww they go bathroom in a designated spot.
I wonder if any of that pollen is still viable. As unlikely as it is it would be fascinating to add that genetic diversity back into the environment.
Why does the Hyrax in the thumbnail look disgusted in us for digging through their outhouse remains?
Dassies (what we call them in South Africa), are permanently grumpy / disapproving looking, I call them grumpy bunnies. I live just around the corner from where the fynbos picture was taken and there are some dassie colonies in the coastal fynbos in the area. If you sit quietly near them they will climb out onto the rocks and just sit there and stare at you with this intense look of disapproval, which is adorable. I haven't seen anything like what is described here with their middens though, usually it's just a small patch of little pellet droppings
Hyraxes are popping at same spot for 50 to 20 thousands years 😵
What is the lifetime of Hyraxes ?
I thought all animals had claws, but this Hyrax has little people nails, I found some otters have human like nails too: so cute I can't comport my manly voice right now.
Elephants also have human-looking nails. Yes, they have nails.
Also they live in Yemen, I went hunting there a few years ago
Dassies
Modern day clues from poo all point to McDonald's
it preserves pieces of the past in piles of poo : nice alliteration there, gj
I dont know why, but that face on the thumbnail reminds me of Geralt de Rivia by Henry Cavil...
She looks kinda nerdy, but she's got beautiful eyes and she's an excellent presenter.
Sooooo, what did you learn in science class today?
Look at that face. It's Brown Jenkin!
Get a degree in Biology and someday you too can become Dr. Turdburgular.
This isn't an April's fools is it? (Checks date of publication.)
So Hyraxes use their poo to tell their world history?
giving hope that there might be future research value in that other pile of turds : political twitter accounts
Hope those scientist washed their hands and had masks on...no telling what bad bacteria might hide in those middens
lol wow I’m s’midden ;)
Aaand I watched this while eating my sandwich.
Big oL peenor
I’m eating nachos 🤪😭
No, i'm sorry. That's a Pikachu.
Pika look more like Pikachu.
@@FreedomAnderson I am aware of the Pika. However i was attempting some obviously bad comedy.
That's not a badger
You've said "middens" too much. Sounds weird now.
6 million subscribers and not even 60k views on videos with this host, just saying.
Wholly crap this is some crazy poo💩
Olivia I love that top on you, it really shows off your waist. Sorry I know it’s all about the science, but I just adore your sense of fashion too! All the presenters seem to wear fantastic clothes, but I particularly adore your taste! (Especially your gorgeous tattoos!! I hope you show them off again soon 🙂) I love that your clothes and hair look kind of ‘comfy’ and practical, but effortlessly stylish, alternative and unusual too.
I thought that was Amy from "Big Bang Theory "
I wonder if this is a paleoecologist’s dream? 🤔🤔🤔
Great content, but the modulation of the host’s voice needs to be more even... not as if she’s asking a question at the beginning of every sentence
Just like rats in Africa and america that preserved various plants in layers of rock crevices
