[@Impured666]

I actually prefer this than watching the shorts individually. I would like if they kept doing this occasionally

[@wigglywrigglydoo]

I hate the shorts, it should never have become a thing.

[@Aristo12]

I agree. Although that's more because of how KZbin has implemented the shorts.

[@auditoryeden]

I agree. I never watch shorts normally because I'm honestly not a short-form video fan. It just doesn't do it for me. But if they're strung together like this periodically, I think that's a nice compromise.

[@woodfur00]

I like short-form videos, I just hate the Shorts player and everything KZbin is doing to market them

[@UFAIL]

Finally a Shorts-Format that I can rewind.

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

Exactly

[@LadyGameshine]

You'd think KZbin would let that happen. It's their main deal

[@UFAIL]

@@SecretSquirrelFun You're right, exactly.

[@UFAIL]

@@LadyGameshine Yep, I don't know how many times I had to rewatch the whole Shorts, just because I didn't pay enough attention on a small part of a Short. This especially sucks if it's at the very end of the Short...

[@HoboFascist]

if you're on PC, try youtube shorts block. It simply modifies the URL to that of a normal youtube video and gives normal playback.

[@melorawr1608]

I enjoyed the transition from the long screen to the normal screen format. Reminds me of curtains opening and closing at a fancy theater

[@stevevernon1978]

yes it was nice! i thought that they could , near the end of one clip, _slide_ the next one in BESIDE IT and into the center for its turn.

[@woodfur00]

Good content, thanks for finally putting it in a watchable format! _You should do this with all your shorts, hint hint_

[@FrozEnbyWolf150]

Fun fact, the part of corn that you eat is also botanically a fruit. Each individual kernel is a sugary pod containing a seed, which is the hard portion where the kernel attaches to the cob.

[@ragnkja]

“Vegetable” isn’t a botanical term at all, but a culinary one, and loads of vegetables are fruits, including sugar snap peas.

[@josecorchete3732]

Liked this compilation more than the individual shorts, BUT, I feel both sections should stay on, and are completely worthy, each having their own audience, both having the wonderful short format of the channel. Thanks for every bite of information you give!

[@italovidigal1990]

Never been here this early, it's a pleasure to attend fellas.

[@MegamanXGold]

I usually skip compilations, but I've only seen two or three of these shorts before and they went so fast that I didn't mind.

[@chrisbiebel6205]

BTW, another way to avoid browning while cutting apples is to use a ceramic knife. I remember once I was peeling, coring, and cutting up some apples for a recipe. The peeler and knife were ceramic while the corer was metal (because, probably due to the curved shape, they can't make those in ceramic). After a few apples, I looked at the bowl of cuttings and the only parts that were turning brown were those that had touched the corer.

[@pg2826]

Is it possible that your knife was sharp so it didn't damage too many apple cells so less enzymes were exposed to the air?

[@jennypulczinski7204]

I'm extremely allergic to poison ivy. As my family says, if I stand in the wind off a poison ivy plant, I will get it. However, I never knew mangoes have urushiol. I have handled and peeled a bunch of mangoes, and my son, who is also very allergic to poison ivy, has a mango tree in his back yard. He has never had a reaction to the tree or the fruit, though, and he has handled most parts of the tree more than once, since it tends to tip over in hurricane winds and needs to be pushed back upright. Interesting

[@mbuhtz]

Do this format more often, such a great way to watch shorts!

[@MrBadsong]

Sprite also works if you don't have lemon, or Apple juice. I only learned that after I started working in a kitchen.

[@_maxgray]

I watch SciShow shorts, so I've seen a few of these, but I loved having a compilation like this! Please do more!

[@shandya]

Maybe it’s a cultural things, but avocado in my country always been considered as a fruit. 😅

[@robinhahnsopran]

Love this format! So excited for more of these shorts compilations! :)

[@jakoblarok]

Nice job putting those shorts to use. I haven't been tracking their actual watch numbers (as opposed to full video); but they at least seem intuitively like a horrible business choice on the part of Google - as ignovel (non-novel) ideas are typically not rewarded on the internet, regardless of how powerful the copycat was. Buying up TikTok would have been a [predictably] better move, if they'd been able to pull it off; but it may be that that particular Chinese company had reasons for not accepting buyouts, as a normal startup would. Regardless, y'all find yourselves in an environment where you feel pressured to make these new-format videos, *just in case* Ytb decides to, without warning, amp them up on their presentation algorithm. But awaiting such a possible hasty move, you also decided to capitalized on them to compile new videos to the old format. This is very wise; especially in this chaotic environment. Anecdotally, I've been avoiding any click-through on "shorts", in order to not accidentally make the algorithm start to "explore that possibility further" with my feed. So I wouldn't have seen any of these videos, unless you'd put them into a 'traditional' video.

[@CL-go2ji]

Thank you for giving me another motivation to not let the shorts steal my time!

[@hugoiwata]

I find it funny how different is brazilian and mexican view on avocados. In Brazil, avocado is clearly viewed as a "normal" fruit and many people eat it with sugar, not with salt.

[@culwin]

You (and every other channel) needs to do more of this, if they are gonna make shorts.

[@StYxXx]

I don't like the shorts feature at all. Not just with scishow, but every channel. KZbin is just trying to copy instagram which is copying tiktok which somehow is a copy of wine...and so on. Vertical screen, bad quality, reduced player features...nothing to be a friend of. I'd rather see longer scishow videos about the topics (well a lot of the usual shorts are just clips taken from those - so more reasons to not like them).

[@jehmarxx]

I would like the text to be larger because I've been always watching KZbin videos on 2x speed.

[@jarrodyuki7081]

ai busses wont come for another 5 years and subways wont come for another 2 years. scishow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i need bounties and handling fees for all my work.

[@viorelflorian2730]

I love the scishow shorts

[@jackmason5278]

I've avoided watching "shorts" on this and other channels. They are too brief, tend to loop, and don't provide any info as to their length. This compilation is a welcome variant. Thank you!

[@johnsamsungs7570]

Try keeping your tomatoes out of the fridge after they are ripe in the subtropics! Don't use pigs to go truffling, they will eat them if you aren't quick enough. Never salt my pasta water! Shorts are crap!

[@pedromgd]

Love you so much... I think if you upload the video portrait. We will be able to see more of you on the screen...

[@pwizandtheween3652]

I don't give a damn what science says about what is and isn't a fruit. If it don't taste like a fruit. It's a vegetable.

[@meganpeterson5021]

❤️❤️❤️

[@kwantator]

Botanist don't grow the food we eat... You should ask the humble farmer

[@alan11194]

I watched this on my phone on landscape so the embedded subtitles in the shorts were too small for me to read

[@nenben8759]

Truffle flavor may live long beyond the existence of truffle fungi

[@johnsamsungs7570]

Hate shorts! If I wanted TicToc I would join the CCP!

[@WutTheFink]

Same thing with onions. Idk why but they taste way worse when stored in the fridge

[@trishapellis]

Yess I don't like the compilations (because I've seen the videos they're made of) but I also don't like watching shorts at all so this is the perfect way for me to be able to still see the shorts without having to actually go into the shorts :)

[@esgee3829]

interesting idea to make some money from the nothingbus that is tiktok

[@johannesnm9706]

Does anyone know why we have drug sniffing dogs not pigs?

[@alexmontgomery255]

The last time I ate mangoes I almost died. Long story.

[@007kingifrit]

3:18 why is there an R in that chemical model? what's R?

[@iyasss2146]

Wait, some people think avocados are vegetable?

[@asiburger]

Ok, here is the biggest hack to keep your apples fresh in the fridge, without the need of another produce, extra steps or anything more than a plate. Just put the cut side down flat on a clean little plate, put it back in the fridge and move on. If these enzymes are triggered by oxygen, it's far easier to block out the oxygen.

[@Platanov]

Please please label compilations as compilations.

[@christopherconkright1317]

Leave apples in plain water they don’t brown

[@hazelhazelton1346]

I came for facts about bite sized foods...

[@CaptainPIanet]

Food for thought

[@addictshirts]

I id not know eggplant is a fruit.

[@bgrimsle]

Careful science investigation shows tomato refrigeration irrelevant: Aroma was measured scientifically; the “sensory attributes” of the fruits were described by a trained “sensory panel” of people. What do members of a sensory panel do? They are “experienced and trained assessors who use their senses to perceive and evaluate the sensory properties of products. Among other attributes, this panel examined the discernible sweetness, acidity and juiciness of tomatoes,” the team explains. The panel found no perceptible differences in the flavor of ripe tomatoes based on how they were stored from farm to fork - and taking into account the chain of harvesting in that journey. “The variety of tomato is much more important,” the panel rules.

[@tyloranderson2881]

Chicken soup fact: is it the onion?

[@richardwelsh7901]

Why not render the video in portrait?

[@alexhearn9270]

My high school teachers love you, always using you in the courses

[@ranimeRAT]

Presentation of food is so important to the enjoyment of it. If I had to pick between the chips and a bowl of broccoli, it would depend on what I'd eaten beforehand as well - if I had loads of fatty/sugary things already, I'd go for the veg first, but if I'd eaten healthier before given the choice then I'd go for the chips.

[@lyleswanson7557]

It's the schmaltz in chicken soup that makes your mucus membranes greasy and allows for faster flow.

[@UHFStation1]

I hate portrait low rez video.

[@SameAsAnyOtherStranger]

My favorite way to keep apple slices from oxidizing is cover them in a little raspberry vinaigrette.

[@Merennulli]

I had always heard the reason for salting pasta water was to create easier nucleation sites so it starts a rolling boil faster instead of steaming off the top. I've never been told why that matters, but I've also never been told it cooks faster.

[@Vagueness27]

I love compalezions

[@MultiAbstrak]

Soooo... what if you have been exposed to poison ivy before (as a child) and had no reaction.... (and still don't)? What's up with that?!

[@jamiearnott9669]

Great video. I like the bit about the craving food and how I've never been obese or overweight either! I don't do anything other than exersizing or eating less!

[@misaalanshori]

He doesn't look green at all

[@catherinebaldwin6580]

This was fun.

[@jarrodyuki7081]

tomatoes.

[@tomleee4090]

Waffles!

[@jimmyfahringer5588]

Wouldn't a longer format for shorts just be pants?

[@olenhol2przez4]

get normal aspect ratio.

[@ragnkja]

Or at least don’t mix the aspect ratios in a single video. Vertical video that’s been pillowboxed to make it horizontal is not particularly enjoyable to watch on mobile.

[@emmalahenry4306]

yeah, keep giving compilations

[@wigglywrigglydoo]

The shorts are looping hell that need constant interaction, attention, and they need the screen on, does not auto play the next video. Super infuriating to listen to and channels that do them usually talk really fast.

[@SanHydronoid]

Great collection but I'd prefer the whole thing to be in portrait since it's harder to read shorts compressed to 16:9

[@magilviamax8346]

Shorts are totally unwatchable. A compilation like this one is just barely tolerable.

[@cdreNightshift]

Please stop it with the shorts. They are a bad format for ANY kind of content.

[@rgbii2]

I normally avoid shorts, but I enjoyed them in this format. Thanks. Please do more :)

[@emyra_3293]

I’m hungry now :/

[@yams9731]

Thank you 🫡

[@itsblenkinsopp]

nice

[@cookingforsingles]

I'm here for it! 😂

[@cookingforsingles]

[@rickseiden1]

I add salt to my pasta water because it stops the starch from collecting on the surface as it boils and flowing over the side of the pot.

[@asiburger]

... there are people who considered avocado not a fruit?

[@ddpwe5269]

If you can't make your salad taste better than french-fries, you've not made a proper salad. I will hands-down take a salad over fries, unless they don't have a dressing, then nothing. Unlike most people who only want to consume food for its taste, you feel like shite later consuming fried foods. Most people won't acknowledge this and complain about it. Your cravings and taste-buds change when you get rid of those foods. Funny how we only crave what we mostly feed ourselves. WEIRD how our bodies work like that.

[@mladyisthename]

Ugh, I can't stand when I go out to eat and you can just tell the tomatoes are refrigerated...one of my favorite foods in the world is papaya salad, which sometimes has tomatoes and I just can't eat them... I understand they're trying to cut food costs, but why even have tomato at all, that's much less expensive lmao

[@PatipanWongkleaw]

I always watch this channel video, but I didn't like the shorts at all. Something about it is not right, I think you'll have to look at how actionlabs channels make the shorts, their shorts are tremendously more popular.

[@yuvalne]

I think this compilation should have been all-vertical, to allow viewing it in full screen.

[@robertfletcher3421]

#shorts are an abomination of KZbin I just block them. Now you are putting them on the main channel. Not good.

[@Ulthar_Cat]

This is the ONLY way I'm watching shorts. Hate the things. Sorry 💜

[@gibbbon]

"no more brown with the help of science" sound like an eugenic slogan

[@alechall7082]

Calm down, damn. You too Hank. This isn't tiktok.

[@3possumsinatrenchcoat]

Hank still never answered who the heck has ever once claimed salt makes pasta cook faster. flavor it, yes. keep it from sticking is also common. but never once have I (nor half the comments it felt like) ever heard the claim it makes a difference in cooking time.

[@_maxgray]

Oh I've definitely been told that by multiple people who don't know each other! Myths like that seem to vary greatly by community, since they're the kind of thing that spreads by mouth - so I'm not surprised some of us are like sigh yes and others are saying they've never heard of it.

[@tandmark]

I hate Shorts. I hate everything about Shorts -- the supertitles, the hosts hamming it up, the narrow screen format, everything. Sadly, watching Shorts in a compiled format like this doesn't make them any more watchable. Goodness knows, I gave this compilation a chance to change my mind. I got through the whole vid, but it wasn't at all a pleasant experience. Please make it clear, for future Shorts compilations, that that's what you're presenting, so that I can avoid watching them.

[@therongjr]

I appreciate when you clearly denote your compilation videos as such. Thank you. 😊

[@ragnkja]

Please don’t mix aspect ratios in a single video, it makes it really hard to watch on mobile.

[@wyrmhand]

I don't like shorts

[@parapos]

please label if they are compilations.

[@OpEditorial]

Excellent assortment of tasty tidbits, almost made it through without mentioning "Climate Change" but they can't all be gems.

[@ranimeRAT]

There's nothing wrong with talking about climate change.

[@OpEditorial]

@@ranimeRAT well yeah, wouldn't be a SciShow episode (or a day ending in "y") if Climate Change wasn't mentioned... 🤦‍♂️

[@amlali6702]

Hi sir, I hope you have a pleasant day. I enjoy your videos alot and I'm eager to help you increasing your viewerships. This is by subtitling your videos to Arabic. I'm a native Arabic speaker and I have a Bachelor's degree in English literature. Don't worry about the charge, I will just charge $5 per minute. I wish you success for your channel

[@sacredweeds]

I do like long form for education. But this was fun.
