Lol. I was tired, just got off work, and read the title of this video from this notification pull down on my phone. I read "plastic wrap" found inside 30 million year old fly
I saw a picture the other day comparing honey bees with wasps. Pretty sure the name they gave wasps was 'jerks with knives on their butts' - pretty much sums them up
How many scientists get the chance to nod back at popular or influential works they enjoy that were based on the subjects they devoted their life to? It’s rare enough that discoveries can even get a bit of nerdiness snuck into their names
I'm not sure if you know what ironic or poetic mean. It's certainly not poetic. It's really obvious, almost to the point of silliness. It's like saying naming your dog "mister barky" is poetic. It's not.
Different sires/fathers. A female may also leave to start her own family. Never the less, they are the longest lived rodent, and it appears they are not subject to cancer.
I think adding in some other media would be great too! I try to spice up info I share with graphics, video and images - but it does take time so I reckon scishow has gone for the quickest and highest quality workflow for releasing so many videos so consistently!
No but Dragonflies were the size of eagles and many other insects were giant long before the dinosaurs because oxygen consisted 30% of the atmosphere compared to about 20% today more oxygen bigger forests and insects and bugs
I wondered why estradiol isn’t broken down in the mole rats stomach, also I realised that thyroxine is taken orally by people with hypothyroidism. i know insulin has to be injected to work medicinally, but are all hormones able to be absorbed in the digestive tract ?
A few years ago I noticed wasps hovering around some brassica seedlings, which I thought was odd. Then one day I saw one of the wasps fly away carrying a caterpillar. I had a lot more respect for wasps after that. Screw you, cabbage whites! Lately the stray cats I feed have been harassed by wasps on their cat food. I got some photos of a wasp cutting up a chunk of cat food and flying away with a piece.
About the naked mole rat poop thing: Male California Mice will provide care for mouse pups when in the presence of a female’s poop! Amazing how hormones in poop change rodent behavior.
Did you have to say it was a "tasty" episode? My gross out level was under control until I heard that. Yuck. The modified poop emoji was already pushing it.
Speaking of mole-rats : The permanent government is not going anywhere. Must be completely gutted. Move the new simple constitutional guidance offices to Denver or some place in the middle of the country, should be off the coasts. The states individually guide their operations with 5 elected people. What is going on now is unacceptable.
Something no one seems to be discussing: how the heck did this many maggots get fossilized in the same place? They are kind of squishy for easy fossilization
I know this is off topic, but I had this thought earlier. If aliens are real (and for the record I 100% believe they are) and they evolved to be complex, would certain chemicals like dopamine have the same effect on them? All the chemical does is bind to a cell receptor, then tell the cell gives out a certain signal in response, right, or do I have this totally wrong? So, could dopamine be the really aggressive chemical in aliens instead of the reward causing one? I might be completely wrong here but I though it was an interesting thought, and I am interested in what others think, second opinions never hurt. If anyone reading this who actually knows about this has been rolling their eyes the entire time because I'm totally of course, then I'm sorry.
I have effectively rolled my eyes after reading your comment. Not because I assume knowing anything about hypothetical, complex, alien life form existing, but because to what I understand, you are assuming their "biochemistry" (if they have one) is potentially anything near to what we got on earth. This like asking what are their favorite colors, assuming they got something like eyes, sharing the same electromagnetic spectrum visible to us and have a notion that could define what is a color. Statistically speaking to what we "know" of aliens, the probabilities are more near the negative than to zero, in short *PROBABLY* not at all. That's good to ask questions, that's better to ask the correct questions.
It possibly could actually have a different affect on them. There is definitive proof about organic chemicals actually doing different things in different animals prolactin is a hormone that when present in humans is a signal for the production of breast milk, but in a certain species of newt, it's a hormone signalling for them to go to the place they were born to mate. So dopamine may infact be a different compound for reaction in them.
Dopamine and serotonin are actually incredibly toxic and potentially fatal to The Watchers, despite being produced in response to similar stimuli, albeit in much smaller quantitties.
+Rivit Raven The difference is that other animals are...you know...animals and thus share a common ancestor with humans. Probably, somewhere along the evolutionary journey between newts and humans, the dopamine nerve receptors were co-opted to do different things. But that similarity relies on humans and newts both having the same kinds of nerve receptors. It seems unlikely that a lifeform that evolved completely independanrly would have the same method of passing information internally, much less that they'd use something as specific as dopemine.
1:08 "a fossil bed in France" Makes sense, like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, there are lots of Paris-sites in France.
You are aware there is a special place in hell for people who tell jokes like that.
And yes, I am already destined for that place.
Boo - Hiss
Thunderous applause 😄👏
No
I love SciShow so much. You're one of the reasons I love science and became a student register nurse.
Ever since the dawn of Scishow, SR Foxley has been the unseen hand that guides this channel. SR Foxley is believed to be around 10,000 years old.
10,000 years? That's not true! I'm not even half that age!
Also, get off my lawn! ;)
Not as parasitic as my ex
Was she always inside of you too?
Did mrs, piggy break up with you again, I feel bad, I’m here to help bro
You weren't saying that when you were makin' bacon.
Ian Macfarlane Deeeeeeeeeeem this comment thread needs a PG rating for the kiddos. Nah, it'll toughen them up. SEE MISS PIGGY FOR WHAT SHE IS!
Thanks SR!
You're welcome, Vercingetorix De Gaul!
Lol. I was tired, just got off work, and read the title of this video from this notification pull down on my phone. I read "plastic wrap" found inside 30 million year old fly
Now that is something that would make the news! haha!
Lmao I don't know why I found this so funny
I will never look at mole rate poo the same T_T
You've been looking at mole rat poo before?
Why?
Nathaniel Bourne it's one of my favourite pass-times 😢
I'm so glad I learned moles rats eat their queen's poop. Now I can sleep easily.
"Broodal Assassins" Good pun, 10/10, would groan again.
Once again, thank SR! You're my favourite President of Space.
Aaw! That's so sweet! Thanks!
Ah good to know that even since their very beginning that wasps have always been one big NOPE!
I saw a picture the other day comparing honey bees with wasps. Pretty sure the name they gave wasps was 'jerks with knives on their butts' - pretty much sums them up
Naked mole rats are so cool
They're truly one of the craziest animals out there visually 😅
Since the xenomorph is conceptually based on parasitic wasps, isn't a bit TOO ironic to name a species of parasitic wasp after it?
Throttle Kitty That’s probably the point.
It's obviously the point, but my point is it's TOO ironic! haha
How many scientists get the chance to nod back at popular or influential works they enjoy that were based on the subjects they devoted their life to? It’s rare enough that discoveries can even get a bit of nerdiness snuck into their names
Throttle Kitty not sure you know what ironic means. Poetic, if anything.
I'm not sure if you know what ironic or poetic mean.
It's certainly not poetic. It's really obvious, almost to the point of silliness. It's like saying naming your dog "mister barky" is poetic. It's not.
Those Mole-rats were like, "Mmmm tastes like chicken!"
Gravijta
You mean Campbell's Chicken Noodle Poop?
Master Therion
You are too good at this game. :D
Chicken tastes like nothing without seasoning
Colin Actually sir....it tastes like chicken 😉
"Just like mom used to make"
Question: How can there be genetic variety in a eusocial colony?
Different sires/fathers. A female may also leave to start her own family.
Never the less, they are the longest lived rodent, and it appears they are not subject to cancer.
I wonder about the genetic diversity of fig wasps, because I believe they mate with their brothers *before* leaving the brood fig.
if more than one female picks the same fig, I bet there's some crossing
SciShow, you should really work on adding graphical material to your shows, as it is too dry now. Other sources did get permission somehow.
I think adding in some other media would be great too! I try to spice up info I share with graphics, video and images - but it does take time so I reckon scishow has gone for the quickest and highest quality workflow for releasing so many videos so consistently!
Sounds like the plot to a straight to DVD horror movie.
Mega-parasite vs. Waspnado.
have u read The Hive yet
bbc made a 2 season (so far) show Fortitude
Do these findings only apply to naked mole rats? Do they still exhibit this behavior if you put pants on them?
Showing some pictures of the wasp's fossils would be nice :)
Bet prehistoric wasps are about a size of a pickup truck
No but Dragonflies were the size of eagles and many other insects were giant long before the dinosaurs because oxygen consisted 30% of the atmosphere compared to about 20% today more oxygen bigger forests and insects and bugs
Hanif Huzairi imagine if bugs stayed the size they used to be. An infestation would be completely different 😱
Whilst this isn't true....a pickup sized wasp is just about as terrifying as it gets
WOAH! That is so crazy! I can't beleive this! Science is so cool and things like this ( though gross) are awesome! Thanks for the video!
Did you watch it though?
Yes! The whole thing through. I love Scishow and this episode was so cool!
There should be a biology Scishow!
I wondered why estradiol isn’t broken down in the mole rats stomach, also I realised that thyroxine is taken orally by people with hypothyroidism. i know insulin has to be injected to work medicinally, but are all hormones able to be absorbed in the digestive tract ?
show us the damn wasps
I was eating when I watched this... WAS eating.
A few years ago I noticed wasps hovering around some brassica seedlings, which I thought was odd.
Then one day I saw one of the wasps fly away carrying a caterpillar.
I had a lot more respect for wasps after that. Screw you, cabbage whites!
Lately the stray cats I feed have been harassed by wasps on their cat food.
I got some photos of a wasp cutting up a chunk of cat food and flying away with a piece.
Those Parasitic creatures can be a real problem

Why didn't you post pictures of the wasp fossils?
The First wasp picture example was not a parasitoid- looked like a regular yellow hornet
Just read the webtoon hive...and u'll know everything about how sadistic wasps are
How do speed cameras work
Why don’t you make a video on the alternative theories about the Universe on TH-cam this would be interesting and good for the TH-cam community!!!
Well that is poop
Why would you scan bone fossils? Like the bones never had anything in them.
Don't you mean parasitoid?
nice pictures of the fossils :/
Again, you are missing the opportunity to say Señor Foxley :P
unremarkable fossil isn’t a phrase
More parasitic than commenters?
Hey.... feelings here.
I doubt it
😭😭😭
YOU PARASITE
I'm new subscriber of this channel...........
Welcome to the crew! If you're looking to be a new subscriber to another channel....consider mine ;)
Hehe.. he said tasty. :)
Just rename this video “Nope, Nope, and More Nope."
Nope
r/usernamechecksout
Snaily r/nopenopenopeYESnope
I really wanna meet the president of space
There've actually been several of us over the years-- you might live closer to one than you think, eh!
So, James Rollins' "The Demon Crown" is now fact instead of fiction? Yikes!
Wtf animal kingdom??
Im so grossed out and intrigued
huh,
so xenomorphs were inspired by parasitic wasps
but they named an ancient parasitic wasp after xenomorphs
T I M E P A R A D O X
man i gotta stop watching SciShow on my lunch
lol "tasty episode". Nice
*"Hair-like structures". Only mammals have hair.
Well, "hair _like_ structures".
Did you have to say it was a "tasty" episode? My gross out level was under control until I heard that. Yuck. The modified poop emoji was already pushing it.
ma boi SR Foxley
Yay!
Anyone else getting itchy?
Why no news about jebi typhoon and the subsequent earthquakes :(
Scishow covered the volcanic eruptions in hawai pretty quickly. :(
I am pretty sure this host has worn this shirt in another video....... .... .....
*All wasps suck....even bugs hate them.....*
For a second I thought that said "people eating mole rats"
haha
The words "tasty episode" somehow changed the aftertaste of the brownies I ate before viewing the video.
I hate wasps I got stung by one on my thighs a couple weeks ago i hated it
What is it with this channel and "poop" ??
Amazin wat god can do. His creechers are sertinly butiful. Chest burstin angles.
Not be so stoped, GOd didnt make toes monster, it was sATIN
Wull, g0d coaldnt huve mede sach creechers.
Jesus ahkbar. Piece beat upon him.
Hell, i sweared not to watch no more wasps' videos since that video from Animallogic, i guess i can stand one more
Pretty sure I crapped one of these out the other day. I need more tp for my bung hole!!!!!! I am the great cornholio!!!!
Thought it said plastic and was very confused

From now on I'm going to sleep with a can of fly spay instead of my teddy.
I don't know why I find these things interesting but I do
If somebody holds your hands, do you go silent?
Something no one seems to be discussing: how the heck did this many maggots get fossilized in the same place? They are kind of squishy for easy fossilization
"and then fed those faeces to ..." Not a phrase you hear that often...
.i'd like to get a bunch for those damn cut worms !
Would you kindly dial down on poop eating episodes? I've had enough of these. 🤢
oops
Reason number 10300339 why I hate wasps
Why are they trying so hard to find parasitic wasp fossils? What is the benefit?
Anybody else get SCP flashbacks?
hobos in san francisco are trying to influence others with their poop
Okay first
i got here at 32 seconds by complete luck im sorry
Good job lol

Yeet
I’m social. Are eusocial?
Some times I like my own comment to get the ball rolling
Try applying force to the ball next time. It'll move easier that way.
He TH-cam Me lol
Cheater!
Forget mosquitoes! Wasps need to die!
Jerry Rupprecht no mosquitoes, they are pests and don’t help the environment in the slightest
Wasps usually aren’t infected
Zach Snyder Have you seen pictures of the giant Asian Hornet?!
Disgusting
