Gas | SciShow Tangents Podcast

[@paulkinzer7661]

As a 62-year-old, I can let you know that the discussion from the science couch was lots of fun for more than just your younger viewers!

[@faith-4059]

As a person named Faith with ADHD, hearing "hopefully Faith was paying attention" at 17:58 right as I was drifting off really threw me through a loop

[@ashleelarsen2233]

Dude the word ACTUALLY gets in my last nerve I respond every time- then have to figure out what I just agreed to! I need to change my name

[@muhmuhmonahan4919]

"So what we think farts were?" THIS is why the "Every Man" is necessary in this show and Sam's my favorite.

[@DasDuken]

I enjoy Tangents' innovative contribution to the English language. So many sentences never before uttered. "It's *all* anus, as far as we can tell."

[@tangatoto362]

There’s one 72 year old who thinks this has been “a lot of fun”, thanks guys , you give me hope for the future (YOUR future!) 🤓

[@disky01]

Oh yeah, you KNOW I set a notification for the fart one. Now I'm sure this episode will deal with other forms of gas but I think we can all agree that the butt fact's gotta be good.

[@mcdonnec1]

Before all of Hank’s super science fart speculations they should have handed him a whoopee cushion. In his best Keanu voice, “I know how farts work” - this didn’t happen but would have been the best if it did. I love this show.

[@storyspren]

Ceri worked very hard to not say the word "shart" and then Hank went and made it the last non-outro word of this episode xP

[@rainerandkatieniederoest825]

I am surprised "splart" didn't come up.

[@itsponygirl]

[@instaperil]

Lol google recommended to translate this to English. I clicked and it was exactly the same.

[@Lazarusaffect]

31:51 = accuracy of the finest caliber for fart noise reenactment period!!

[@Joarrost]

Fart talk made me remember when I sat on a yoga ball and farted. There was an echo... Luckily just a sibling and me around.

[@iriandia]

The comments about how did we survive in a whole bunch of gas without knowing what it was, makes me think in the future how people are going to wonder about how we survived now without knowing anything about dark matter/energy which is of course just so obvious and everywhere.

[@oliviamcclure989]

its actually pretty common that the miners felt solidarity with the birds claws their boss cared about the miners just about as much as their boss cared about the birds

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

Love the WW1 trench feel to the end of the poem.

[@TheMunchkinita2509]

Instead of soylent green being people, it's now plasma screens 😂

[@willfreund3315]

With topics as broad as gas, there are so many directions to go and knew farts had to be a part of it, but was expecting some SCUBA stuff in the quiz or fact off section.

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

Only discovered this because of the SciShow Community question, but that was a lot of fun - great host and excellent guests. 👍

[@lexer_]

I love the brainstorm game format. On one hand just making it about who can guess faster is a bit tricky but I really love the idea of not having penalties for wrong answers. And apart from the helium plant question the questions were well suited to not be easily guessable just by rapid-fire guessing.

[@Tyrandir]

The seekrit snake farts did me a big learn

[@tjthrash0143]

Cheeks do play a part in some peoples fart sounds. Specifically, you can hear the fart then moments later you can hear the gas escaping the cheeks in a slap. This can happen especially when the person is very sweaty. Ive heard this and it is hilarious.

[@terranovarubacha5473]

The canary story was very heart warming, thanks Sam :)

[@amandajones661]

I totally relate to the whole January comments. I just want to be warm.

[@jagx234]

29:24 starts the most important info

[@cbw900]

I can't believe this is the first time Ceri ran into Paracelsus, but I'm delighted that now she has! I'm currently working on some fiction set against a Scientific Renaissance/Scientific Revolution sort of backdrop so I'm thinkin' about all those wacky guys at the transition from alchemy to chemistry and towards empiricism from spiritualism. I find it so interesting. My favorite electives from undergrad were history of science. If there are other viewers interested in these topics, CrashCourse here on KZbin, made by the same fine folks, has a History of Science course with Paracelsus and loads of other guys in it. Also I wanted to make a very intellectual comment about how funny Hank miming buttcheek action was.

[@BetzalelMC]

lol not just young ones, us old ones laughing too

[@sava-smth]

Pop pop pop pop for all of us

[@unicornep1818]

Yes the cats back....and Ceri

[@pamelasmith7740]

Anyone else have an Aunt who had to lift her leg to pass gas no matter whether she was sitting, standing or laying down?

[@themossynook]

I'm 50 and I watched this specifically to find out why farts sound so loud. My inner child wants to know. Parp!

[@instaperil]

Same.

[@josemarialaguinge]

First chapter I listened, I really enjoyed it.

[@michaelpytel3280]

Dr. Hank Tubeboy and the POP POP fart music !

[@KOZMOuvBORG]

5:01 wouldn't supercritical gas/liquid be edgy? 6:17 when (live) steam condenses, it releases a lot of heat onto that surface 6:44 you can see some refraction in a stream coming from an aerosol can 8:34 early version of Maxwell's demon 34:50 why do I sometimes feel "bubbles" in my underwear when I break wind? 37:44 Clacking Cloacas! was that a punk band?

[@antybee2736]

You had me at farts

[@zolacnomiko]

omg hank's sweatshirt tho

[@janusatthegate6201]

Air was spirit. Blow spirit into a clay figure. Spinning air was demon spirit.

[@BaddeGrasse]

Yall really just glossed over "we should stop ending years" huh? Edit: 1:03 timestamp

[@SciShowTangents]

relistening to it, i would love to hear Hank's thoughts on that...

[@mayaenglish5424]

@@SciShowTangents I mean... you know the man fairly well. I feel like he would answer your questions. Preferably on camera. 😄

[@Mallchad]

The only thing I heard this entire podcast in my head was "butt cheek cavitation"

[@IrisBlackWinter]

Halloween is the witches new year for all the reasons y'all just mentioned. It is considered the beginnning of the new yeah in the northern hemisphere as you cross into the darkest season and plant life dies back being reborn! October resolutions for the win.

[@chillsahoy2640]

An episode about gas? Oh, so the whole episode will be basically about farts and the Butt Fact will overtake the whole podcast, haha!

[@aaran2329]

I think its most species of snake! Unless musking is a different thing. But what yous described in the end bit sounds a lot like musking! Its just a horrible smell that they release from their cloaca when they're frightened and need to defend themselves. Doesnt smell like a fart, smells like death 😅😅 I have 2 snakes and ive experienced this once or twice and damn its bad.

[@scottcampbell96]

I like to think the guy who was recently kicked off an airplane for farting constantly during a verbal altercation learned it from that last snake fact.

[@lucyandthecalm]

gas gas gas gas gas gas gas gas a bunch of times 🖖

[@spudd86]

There is another state of matter that isn't a much weirder edge case than plasma... Bose-Einstein condensate

[@mavriksc]

I had a dr not schedule a new appointment and i havent been back in 3 yrs. I should get a new dr

[@OorahhColeman]

Silent but violent

[@therabbithat]

"we lived in a soup of particles that we couldn't survive without and didn't think to give it a name until 400 years ago" The word "air" is from 1300 Atmosphere is from the 1630s or earlier The guy who coined gas referred to "vapor" in the definition you gave Etymonline: Þe ouer partye of þe eyr is pure and clene, clere, esy & softe, ffor mevynge of stormys, of wynde and of wedir may nat reche þerto; and so it perteyneþ to heuenlych kynde. And þe neþir partye is nyʒe to þe spere of watir and of erþe, and is troubly, greet and þicke, corpulent and ful of moyst erþy vapoures, as longiþ to erþy partyes. Þe eyr strecchiþ hym kyndely al aboute fro þe ouer partye of þe erþe and of watir anon to þe spere of fire. [Bartholomew Glanville, "De proprietatibus rerum," c. 1240, translated by John of Trevisa c. 1398 ] That seems to be describing the soup we live in to me. "atmosphere" comes from the Greek word for "steam" so it seems like they very much understood it, they just called it vapors. Steam is water particles in the air. Steam is water vapor, they talked about other types of vapors. Gas is other particles in what we intuitively think of as air (but actually air is a gas). So I think they had this figured out? the most important parts of it anyway, just they called it vapor.

[@kaitlynoddie9649]

wait do people actually schedule their haircuts in advance and not just wait until they notice how bad their split ends are??

[@AndreVandal]

Im glad this came up, my wife keeps telling me to not make noise when I fart, but as much as I try I can't control it. Now I have ammunition to explain why this is. Thanks

[@johnmichaelcule8423]

People book haircuts in advance? I'm sorry? Who? Why? I just wait until there's an Old Testament prophet staring me out of the mirror in the morning.

[@lethaleefox6017]

I am waiting for the farts. Okay we got to the farts... how loud is Uranus? 29:30

[@emilyniedbala]

Surely that butt fact answers the previous question about the hole with the most functions right? Pee, poop, eggs/sperm, and popping!

[@ponyote]

Gluteal science, to the Maximus

[@wyvrennemacdaniels6813]

i think the colon might be considered as a resonance chamber in this case possibly?

[@dummyinblue]

Hank has been doing a lot of ASMR voice lately, or whenever the videos were recorded LOL are you gonna do ASMR, Hank?

[@leiajiang7877]

hot air? im kicking myself. but co2 answer was bad since co2 is lots denser than air

[@robertcotrell9810]

So... Who has made a "for farts" resonance chamber?

[@janusatthegate6201]

Why are more particle farts gentler?

[@BadGirlFan]

English uses the Latinized name Linnaeus for some reason. His actual name was Carl von Linné - sadly no connection to "lineages" 😉

[@lutilda]

I really liked this game!!

[@dianelandis]

Holy anus slapping! Science is fun. Thank you for making me laugh.

[@antoniojones5340]

Damn, this was a great episode! Good Job!

[@queens.dee.223]

Would you have accepted "atmosphere" as a lifting gas?

[@CMansfield]

When Hank finally announced that the topic was "glass," I thought of the sinking feeling I might have had finding I had misheard the topic of the next pop quiz and was completely unprepared… 😮 followed by a fast (on topic) exhalation of relief.

[@nottsork]

so on the hole how do farts go >?

[@kerensa7349]

Why is gas called gas if it's not a gas is what I've always wondered. Ik it turns into one but 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@valiantknight6364]

I would love insight into what this question means. Are you asking what, for instance, carbon dioxide gas is called when it's not called gas, then the answer is either dry ice, or carbon dioxide. Some elements or molecules have colloquial terms for what they are in different states of matter (water ice steam/vapor being a major example), but scientifically you just call them by their element and the state of matter (liquid H2O, for instance, or liquid CO2) though even that can have a few more vocab words involved (condensed CO2, condensed meaning the same as liquid but implying that it has gone through a process to make it liquid)

[@valiantknight6364]

... OH as in fuel? As in petrol? Unleaded gas? Off the cuff sans looking it up, I would ASSUME that it's because before we had cars, we had gas for fuel in the home. So when cars came on the market what Americans called fuel for cars would have probably related to what they used to fuel their homes, even though the mechanism was different.

[@RowieSundog]

It's weird to me that Americans call those farts "silent but deadly", I'm an nzer and they've always been "silent but violent" which rhymes

[@markedis5902]

Also why do toilets amplify farts?

[@queens.dee.223]

My guess is it's a resonance chamber. edit: I replied before I got to the part about inner fart anatomy structures being resonance chambers. Guess they're everywhere!

[@inrevenant]

today, in Norway, "fjorten" means fourteen... I wonder if the Old Norse people were bashing teenagers who were being loud and annoying🤔 wait, if there's a correlation, that would be the other way around, wouldn't it? #MessyLateNightTrainsOfThoughts
