Man, I remember going crazy in grade school arguing with other kids that blood was not blue. I realized it was hopeless when one of the homeroom teachers agreed with them. A generation was lost to madness...

Even if urine was somehow sterile, you still shouldn't drink it. It is about 3.3% sodium, which is almost as much as the sodium in the ocean. This means that drinking your urine wouldn't help with thirst. Instead, it would make you thirstier and die of dehydration.

I remember my mom telling me that the iron in your blood and the metal iron were 2 different elements... can't imagine how confusing the table of elements must have been to her.

[@tomthebuilder794]

She’s not exactly wrong, heme iron, the type of iron found in your hemoglobin, differs from elemental iron in that heme iron is a molecule while elemental iron is an element. Additionally, heme iron is found in animal proteins while non-heme iron is found in plants. Heme iron is also absorbed by the body faster than elemental iron which is also why it is commonly found on nutrition tablets and such.

I'm not kidding when I say this, when I was in elementary school we were taught that human blood is blue before it reaches the heart and is oxygenated. Lol. That makes no sense. This wasn't too long ago, I'm old, but not ancient. Lol. 1992 or 93. But to think that's just one of the many things that we were taught that was completely wrong, and there is a ton, enough to write a book about, it absolutely blows my mind. So many things have changed just in the past 30 years. Even things they were teaching us in middle and high-school, a lot of it has been found out to be wrong, some ended up being backwards. It's mind-blowing, amazing, and also kinda frightening. Then again, in the state I live in, they no longer teach cursive writing. Which I find extremely sad and unfortunate. Gotta sign a contract or legal document, you have to sign and print your name. So guess this generation of kids are just supposed to figure it out on their own. When I had to write essays, cursive was mandatory. You would get a 0 if it was in print.

That's one thing I wouldn't have considered. That is true. Everyone's bodies are different. Now, in my 40s, I have to wear Seaband wrist bands when traveling in vehicles because it can make feel dizzy. I don't like feeling drowsy after taking motion sickness pills. One thing that the video didn't mention is the fact for many people eating right after swimming can be dangerous when it's vigorous swimming, not light swimming. This was shown once on I believe ABC news, or one of the more national TV stations, when some reporters did an experiment with some teenage girls of a high school swim. They treated them to some McDonald's food and had the girls swim afterwards, just to see how they did. The girls did the experiment and all of them appeared to be fine. But they maybe they just ate until their stomachs were full, not stuffed. And you mentioned swimming right after eating upset your stomach, maybe also brought on by the motion of the water. In your case, it obviously isn't safe.

Addiction is a mental illness, and all mental illness needs less stigmatization. All of us have flaws and problems and we should be as understanding and caring as is practical with each other. Calm consideration and empathy go a long way. That being said, lots of addiction IS a choice because if you CHOOSE to put an addictive substance into you, you're choosing the (risk of) addiction. You can't choose your body's reaction to the substance, but you can (hopefully) choose whether it goes inside you in the first place. With drugs like acute pain relievers, it can be a profound and difficult choice to make. We all have different tolerances to pain and medicines, so there's no easy answer for everyone.

There is some truth to that, as in microwaves can leak through the seaks on the door. It's why leak detection exists.

While the song one may be true, I will say that the ability to taste spiciness is limited by location on the tongue. Our Anatomy teacher demonstrated this. He had a student to close their eyes and dry their tongue out with a paper towel to prevent saliva transferring the flavor. He then applied a generous portion of hot sauce to the back of the tongue with no reaction. Then a sizable portion to the middle of the tongue with no reaction. Then just a drop or two on the tip. The student immediately recoiled and closed their mouth only to at that point taste all of the hot sauce that have been previously put on the tongue when they close their mouth and allowed the saliva to wet the tongue again

[@wesleydaub8002]

I would like to see Infographics cover the myth of "If you can't smell, you can't taste." as I have lost my sense of smell due to a sinus infection when I was 13 and I never lost my sense of taste. Now that COVID 19 has caused more people to lose their sense of smell other people without smell also tell me that they can also taste.

[@wesleydaub8002]

@khronosfateless I can taste, I can't explain how but I can still taste food in every bite since.

[@jovetj]

Smell and Taste are separate things: taste is from the tongue, where the gross essence of food is interpreted (e.g. sweet/salty/bitter/sour/umami) but that's it. Smell is a finer interpretation of the food, such as differentiating molasses from honey. Both are sweet and bitter (acidic) but your taste alone can't tell them apart. But you can smell them apart, whether they're in your body or in front of your face.

id like to make a small correction, the heart electric impulses dont come from the brain, but from the heart itself, from an area called sinusal nose. the heart has an (actually many) autonomous electric system that is independant from tthe brain

[@jovetj]

Yes. But the brain still influences it, and the heart will eventually stop beating on its own without drive from the brainstem.

The shaving thing. I went through Navy Bootcamp. We had a guy in my company who had a "babyface". The Company Comander still made him shave every morning. By the end of the 8 weeks, he had to shave because he visibly had a beard & mustache coming in. He started showing signs of a "5o'clock" shadow.

It actually could have been because of stimulation! The act of shaving was rubbing his face and thus stimulating hair growth.

Im a keto advocate and regarding the part where quality carbohydrates are essential to living a healthy life. As indicated in the video, i did a lot of research where saturated fats are almost always given a hard time but proof simply doesnt exist.

Addictions.... Some addictions ARE a choice. It was your choice to put that first cigarette in your mouth, it was your choice to put that first needle in your arm, it was your choice to snort that first line.... Getting hurt was not a choice, getting addicted to the painkillers wasn't a choice.... If you can't see the difference, then you are part of the problem!!

@@dhaltonmiller1215 That's a direct democracy and it works great in Nordic countries. It overrides directly over the Oligarchs and corporations controls which is hard to overcome with different form of government. This is why the powerful wealthy elites fears it and want you to think it's bad. Norway has DIRECT democracy. A mob rule if you will. Yet the people there are the most free and most prosperous people on earth. The most educated. The most healthy. Not only that, Norway is among the countries with the most billionaires per capita as well. Capitalism works so efficiently there.
