[@jackielinde7568]

Kyle, thank you for getting my last name correct. It's pronounced "Lynn-DEE" (Not "Lind" like the chocolate company "Lindt"). Fun Fact: In the 90s, my brother and I discovered our name was Dutch in origin (and not German, as we had thought) by playing the video game "Conquest of the New World". It was a puzzling moment to see the Dutch AI player labeling things LINDE (like the Linde River and the Linde Mountains). A little bit of research later, my brother (who was still in high school and had more time on his hands than I did) found the history of the name. Also, thank you for the three time Super Nerd.

[@Tharkon]

If it is Dutch it would probably (originally) be pronounced /ˈlɪn.də/ but when your family started speaking English it probably became /ˈlɪn.di/ because of how uncommon the mid central vowel [ə] is in English. Though in this case just add an -n to the end and it stops being a big deal even in English. Also, what system are you using that results in the transcription "Lynn-DEE". Because I see similar transcriptions often, but don't know how to read them.

[@johnapple6646]

I always thought that Banners body is filled with incredible amount of gamma radiation that is converted into mass when he is hangry. And yes, I do also think Banners body is ripped apart, but since he has incredible healing factor, he is put back together again.

What I wonder about more isn't the part where you transform into some kind of hulking monster, is how do you revert back to being human afterward?

All kinds of ways your organs could get screwed up too potentially to the point the afflicted may not even live to tell about it.

That's why Hulk (2003) covered his transformations using molecular locking/sliding coming from sea-cucumber DNA and the ability to absorb massive amounts of water to facilitate his growth (we're mostly made of water, and you'll notice Hulk in that movie only seems to grow around it, especially when he gets really huge.

[@globenstine1335]

@Because Science if you watch the incredible hulk (the one with edward norton) you can literally see/hear his bones and ligaments breaking, expanding and healing over and over in rapid succession while hes transforming on the medical table during the scene they are trying to cure him (looks really painful to me). my guess is the only thing that gets him through such a major transformation is his amazing healing factor.

[@tjnanimation6490]

Kyle, I really like your content, but seriously, what was that at 2:26? "You have no idea what's incredibly helpful for women." Really? No idea at all? Same species. A lifetime of interactions. Multiple videos on this very site-made by women and targeted at men-explaining how unpleasant menstruation is, and the guy can't suggest avoiding it would be helpful? (Also, he had already admitted the hair thing was a vanity mutation so he was clearly addressing the menstruation part specifically.) However, that's not the real issue here. Many people have already commented on the validity of your response (some in favor, some against), so I'll move on to a more troubling dynamic: the abuse of your power as a community-leader. Correcting misinformation is fine, but you, as a content creator, used your platform to single-out, insult, and publicly shame a member of your own community. Furthermore, you did so to a person who was only open to such an attack because they were actively participating in a discussion surrounding your content. The level of disrespect and arrogance demonstrated in your response is, frankly, staggering. I had hoped you were a better person than this.

Just activate a gene that controls hair growth. The same with eye color. Most people who wear colored contacts are women. Since most of the people removing excess body hair and wearing contact lenses to change their eye color are women, is it really that awful to infer that the majority of the people interested in those genetic tweeks would be women?!?

As someone who also has ADD, I can tell you why. He's flashy, constantly doing something, has something attention-grabbing either visually or in an audio-sting, and the subject matter is also fascinating (which helps). Doing something or watching something that you genuinely are interested in helps to focus the brain past the natural issues of wandering attention, as it doesn't take conscious effort to want to focus on it. It's how I can play repetitive, tedious games like Factorio for hours on end (to the point I forget to eat), and yet I have trouble reading a book.

[@devinwarf9615]

@@prince_nocturne yes I would say you are correct. Though sometime i wonder if A.D.D is actually a super power of own. It is know that while annoying those with it have shown hyper attention. Even given rise to random bouts or guenious. Lol. Which has led me to belive that it's not a dysfunction but a trait buried in or DNA from ages past. In modern day it is a hassle bit in olden times useful. Such as a hunter. Zeroed in on the hunt. Mabey as a warrior. If the mind can let go of all thoughts and see nothing but the battle.

We have a lot of other issues that are still being worked on to overcome our more primal hunter days. Fight-or-flight, for example. The body interprets even daily stress as a threat. When this happens, the body reacts, such as tensing up even a little and increasing blood pressure. This (among many, MANY other reasons) is why people always have such sore shoulders.

Another person with Ehlers Danlo’s is current reigning RPDR winner, Yvie Oddly. She discussed it on the show with how her body causes her a lot of pain and she had to be extra careful during physical challenges. But her hyper flexibility was a strength to her in her creativity and performance. For example, in a runway look that was very monk inspired, she walked with her hands in prayer behind her back, as if she was even more in tune with her deity. In this sense, it’s her taking a disability and its problems, and finding where she can leverage it to be a strength. Just thought I’d share that because it’s cool.

When it comes to the difference between genetic mutations and super powers... the supers always have the ability to endure their powers.

[@NerdyAngel1989]

My thoughts on that have always been that they are wrong, in X-MEN they say it is one that was passed down from the father. For their bodies to be able to handle it that’s not possible the mutation has to be in multiple places. This also means given that the mutation comes on durning puberty or some other traumatic event they could only say the person has a gen that makes being a mutant more likely which is why all of them have that gen. They couldn’t however test you say you have that and must be a mutant as not everyone who has that gen would get powers just like any other thing like cancer for example.

[@marcoottina654]

Some questions: 1) could a single particle so close to "c" to have so much energy, and so mass, to become itself a black hole? 2) if particles with negative mass exist, would they attract each other and clump together like ordinary matter due to Newton's law of gravitation? 3) because of 2), would that clump of negative-mass particles push away ordinary matter an so needing to be confined in a pressure-resistant "jar"? 4) thanks to 3), could we create a zeppelin-like vehicle to fly efficiently?

[@josephtiseo3303]

So for #1 here is a good Vid youtube that might help explain: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ-ve6Kbd6qSeK8 In short, things don't gain mass as V increases, but gain Relativistic Mass (more of a modification of inertia than anything else) #2 Negative mass particles would repel from one another. You can get an interesting perpetual motion machine with 1 mass particle and 1 negative mass particle chasing each other.

[@osmium6832]

I actually listened to an inverview this evening with Dr Alcubierre, the astrophysicist who proposed a potential warp drive design in 1994. He admitted it wouldn't work for a number of reasons, but he was very educational about what negative mass/matter and negative energy actually mean. 1) Joseph was correct, it's "relativistic" mass, not actual mass that you're gaining. I disagree with Joseph on part 2 of your question, though. 2) We'd need to find some negative mass to be sure. Negative energy just means a smaller amount of energy than the background vacuum energy of the universe (an extremely small amount, but more than no energy whatsoever. We label this background energy as 0 even though it's a number higher than 0, and anything with more energy than this baseline is labeled positive). It would be unstable because even in intergalactic space, background energy would immediately flow into this bubble of 0 or next to no energy. It's like how heat energy disperses into cold. That's just the nature of entropy. It's debatable, but probably not the case, that you can turn this negative energy into "negative mass" particles. "Negative energy" still has some energy, so would likely make regular particles, if anything. 3) If you could make negative matter, they would clump together, but repel regular matter. The example Alcubierre used was if the sun was made out of negative mass, it would repel all the planets. If the Earth were made out of negative matter, it would still orbit around a normal matter sun but repel a moon made out of regular matter, because the sun is so much more massive and it's attractive pull on Negative Earth would be greater than Negative Earth's repulsion. 4) No, because of the example used in 3. The zeppelin would have to have as much or more negative mass than the entire Earth's mass to overcome Earth's gravity. Buoyancy with helium is much more practical.

[@DreadtheMadSmith]

YES. Blood vessels can burst all around you, probably you won't die but you'd be in constant pain, it can break your fingers also, at the end the pain and the exaustion and stress from the minor wounds would make you drop on the ground and die of something like heat stroke or thirst if outside

[@prince_nocturne]

Depends how fast the spoon is going.

[@Willbedard]

à few hours, just the time that you need To dig a hole in someone with a spoon and end up digging a vital organ.

[@potatoCris]

waitwaitwait do people really can't do pull ups? well that's an unexpected boost to my self esteem XD thanks kyle

[@ButcherofRagol]

Self esteem. The respect (esteem) you have for yourself.

[@slayerx3197]

I have the same connective tissue issue. Joint pain is there but not as severe as hers, but my skin is crazy stretchy

[@snusnubot9004]

It's unlimited power because the force gosh keep up ;) lol I cannot wait for that episode

[@ap0kalyps326]

But Kyle can't energy be converted to matter thus the hulks stored gamma radiation should be able to become muscle mass no?

[@Jessie_Helms]

Tony V pretty sure that would cause nuclear detonation. Don’t quote me on that though

[@MySerpentine]

You would need a LOT of energy. I think the average nuke uses up only a few ounces of matter to get that huge explosion.

[@fa2lemuelm2]

Ahh so furries are more possible than superheroes. Gotcha.

[@zijoh2914]

Thank you for making me not feel bad anymore about not being able to do pull ups

[@connordutton674]

That’s what I always thought happened to Banner though it physically hurt him to transform into the Hulk because all his bones and tendons etc were growing to huge sizes in a very short time. It’s like having the worst growth spurt in history in like 3-5 minutes if not quicker

[@McHaven07]

damn, kyle on his soapbox today, lol

[@aceplayer555]

For real. Should call this channel 'Because Politics'

[@unforsakenentity]

"look like everyone"... what does a sexual orientation look like?

[@hiimcrazyfordrwho]

Rainbows

[@esajaan]

yeah weird how "scientists don't wear lab coats" went to "race, gender, color, sexual orientation"

[@flamevortex]

what you never seen a pride parade before? lol

[@nathanialnorman7848]

2:00 kyle being a king 👏

[@timothyscott8430]

On the elestigirl (probably spelt that wrong) comment it talked about how her condition causes dysautonomia, and I gotta say I wish it was talked about more.

[@cameronstrife1659]

Wow Kyle love how you start this by assuming your first correction has no idea what's helpful for a woman please please explain that one and I seriously hope it isn't what I'm thinking. 2:25

[@MrStreaty122]

I'd like to point out that I went back and corrected myself soon after his screen grab. I apologize for being incorrect.

[@gslinger19]

You don't have to. He was overly obnoxious and made assumptions toward you. As a man he's not an authority on how women think or feel either but he sure acted that way.

[@AZ092938]

And, i might add, you should have been called out for kindness for thinking of something that could make other people's life easier. Did not definetly deserved the despicable and deplorable offence he threw at you. He lost points for his reaction, and i hope he realizes that. Big oof man

[@joshdaniels224]

[@javierdelarosa2772]

freakin love this guy👏😂

[@LayakMacGregor]

Hey Kyle, so you've talked about space combat a lot and haven't heard you mention the combat in Battlestar Gallatica, what are your thoughts on its accuracy?

[@MrHardrichard]

Who knew Kyle was a fan of making women shave to be hairless. I'm sure majority of women would love to never have to shave ever again. Source: EVERY WOMAN I HAVE EVER MET.

[@SynAsynja]

I'm guessing he took issue with a guy trying to tell people what would be helpful for women, even if in this specific instance it might be for most women. Not to mention a lot of guys would probably like to be hairless as well lol

[@Christopher-eq1rn]

yeah, he got weirdly aggressive about that

[@Jessie_Helms]

Alice You’re almost contradicting yourself. If something *would* benefit women- even if it would also benefit men as well- you are correct in saying it would help women. I hate this toxic idea floating around that empathy is somehow dominance. Imagine Franz scolding Hans because “how dare you say you hate gas chambers! You don’t know what it’s like to be a Jew! How do you know what’s good for them?”

[@feldinho]

Legion gotta grab that easy ally cred, right?

[@feldinho]

Alice I have hairless armpits and very little body hair, and I think it’s great! I’d assume it would be for most people too, and it includes women. But what do I know?! Having a penis takes away my rights to make assumptions, apparently! :)

[@oafkad]

Wow. That shit on a commenter near the beginning was pretty big. That'll teach them for being interested. (Still love the show. But yeah, oof.)

[@aceplayer555]

Yeah Kyle's either getting super full of himself lately or becoming a salty beta. He doesn't even know whether the commenter maybe was a girl.

[@SynAsynja]

@@aceplayer555 He was literally called MrStreaty

[@michaelmalgus2304]

I have a request, since you are going into how Force Lightning works, could you explain on how Drain Life in Star Wars works from a scientific perspective? I am a major Star Wars fan and that is how I ended up watching your videos, and I feel like it would be fun to see where you could go with this. There are several instances that this ability is used, primarily in the Knights of the Old Republic video game series. I specifically would like to see you tackle on how Darth Nihilus used Drain Life to drain the entire life essence on and in the planet. Thank you for reading this, I love watching your videos!!!

[@mrorange90]

Thank you Kyle. Someone who can put the logistics complaint on a pedestal like I do.
