HORROR SCIENCE: The Faculty Parasites "BRAIN DOMINATING" Tendrils Explained

[@DH-xw6jp]

"As useful as a Helicopter ejection seat" Fun fact time: some helicopters have ejection seats, and the ones that do also have have explosive devices strapped to each rotor blade that blows up when the seat is ejected to clear the air above the chopper when they are activated.

[@piscessoedroen]

And those "some" helicopters are the russian Ka-50 and Ka-52. Which is surprising, you'd think that they'd be the ones who would not have interest in equipping it to helis. I guess the factor of having a coaxial rotor helps making the ejection easier?

[@cadkls]

​@@piscessoedroenIf it surprises you that a particular country has done something because it challenges your views on that country, does the fact they have indeed done that particular thing change your mind about said country? Any good scientist wouldn't ignore new contradictory data, they'd incorporate it and change their model to fit the evidence.

[@piscessoedroen]

@@cadkls i used to think that it would be US military because their very gung-ho "no man left behind" and that they actually show their act on this saying, whilst the russian literally line their tank crews with ammo, not to mention their combat history. Now i ask, does this happen because the coaxial rotor helps make it easier (as it only appears on ka-50 and 52 but not the Mi family) or was it because kamov said fuck it and gave it ejection seats because they can?

[@cadkls]

@@piscessoedroen I think they did it to ensure pilot survivability. As that is the purpose of an ejection seat. If evidence contradicts your theory, change your theory.

I know it’d probably be too difficult a medium to do a video on but the first sentient parasites I ever heard of was from the book series Animorphs. The Yeerks are very similar to these parasites and are described as amphibious giant slugs. They feed on a specific energy from their sun the Yeerks call Kandrona Rays combined with the thick soupy water of their home world. The keys to getting off their planet was when a diplomat from a more advanced race decided to uplift them and teach them about the world and topped it all off by giving them a machine that simulated their sun. They enter through the ear of a creature and attach themselves to the brain. The host is still conscious the entire time but is unable to properly move their own body, meanwhile the Yeerk and read their every memory and thought giving them the ability to perfectly imitate someone with the only cracks being more social or the Yeerks own mannerisms creeping out. They can survive up to three days without Kandrona and so on the third they’ll return to hidden Yeerk Pools to leave the host and “eat” before returning to their routine. They have a cover operation to get more hosts called The Sharing which is basically something like a Charity Organization with slightly cultish undertones. Recruiting members of the community to help the community or to simply have good old social bonding. They do this because willing hosts are easier than forced ones. Because sometimes a hosts own instincts and needs can overpower the Yeerk, so the desire of self preservation can disrupt the process and make them harder to subjugate.

NGL your PSA about “being smart isn’t enough without a strong work ethic” sadly explained my life.

So, instead of taking on a more challenging major that would require it I played it safe and ended up going to school for something that became useless right before my final semester. In other words this is the best advice I’ve come across in most any form of media so take it to heart people!!!!

Yeah, I never ended up learning how to study. I had to figure out a way to do it. In the end it was a really effective method for me, but damn it’s unfortunate that I had to come up with that trial by fire. My method was essentially ‘make connections with everything’…especially if pop culture. Does it mean no one else understands? Sure. But do YOU? Good. Does ‘no wait it functions like…Minecraft minecart tracks, and you put a chest of the materials in the cart and take it to another end of the track to unload” confuse everyone else?

Just cause you're 25 doesn't mean you're over and done, people start rebuilding even at 40s. What you are however, is done with reaching the stars, but once you say "meh, screw it, we roll" you can still do wonders for your life and achieve maximum of your current situation, even if it will never be as high as if you weren't in this shit.

9:20 My theory is the planet had extreme seasons likely due to a slower and highly elliptical orbit, it's plates were stable and lacked Earth's current form of plate tectonics (Very stable and resembling the other terrestrial planets in our solar system including the young Earth) and thus its crust or "surface" was much more uniform in height so the majority of its ocean was a shallow sea, possibly a few small seasonal islands. Before Earth's tectonics kicked into high gear the Earth's stability also caused life to be relatively stagnant hence the name "The Boring Billion" however in the case of the alien parasites home planet it had the previously mentioned elliptical orbit to introduce some chaos into the mix, more and more ice would begin forming the further it got from its star until the water levels in the shallow seas caused "seasonal islands" near the poles which would trigger a positive feedback loop trapping more and more water in polar ice caps that grew until a large portion (idk lets go with like 60-80%) of planets shallow sea to disappear, forcing organisms to either migrate to deeper waters beforehand and face stiff competition for the decreased resources in a greatly reduced area every winter, develop a form of suspended animation to wait it out, or incorporate it into their life cycle by hatching in the spring, laying eggs in the fall, dying in the winter, and next generation repeating the process; and the parasite in movie just took the suspended animation route.

Sorry to nitpick this one part of the video, but wasn't the study that claimed what you stated at ( 16:00 ) incomplete?

I know the one I read was published a few years back, so are you going off something that was more recent? Genuinely curious.

[@zerogalaxy2735]

Do you mean the one from 2014? Then you're sorta right. The conclusion of the study is that they couldn't prove that a mating ritual addiction reduces grey matter. A lot of websites and other "sources" have however twisted the conclusion and changed it to "A mating ritual addiction reduces grey matter".

Regarding the planet, I suspect they had land masses until water levels rose causing it to be a water world. Also: Elijah Wood will always be Frodo

My high school in the North Georgia mountains lost every football game. I was in marching band from middle school all the way through and in that 5 years our team won a massive 0 games. Our school though prioritized the football team for funding over other programs.

Roanoke is the one person that gets to get away with an Ohio meme.

Fun fact, Ohio has an incredibly disproportionate amount of Astronauts!

I remember watching this movie. It’s a fun silly movie. Glad you covered it. I also love learning about the cars. My father in law drives a Lincoln Towncar from 88’ and every time I ride in it, it takes me back in time.

Low quality coaches are a plague in team building. Unlike Gigachad Roanoke keeping this team of subscribers entertained and informed. Love this movie and your content brother ♥️.

[@TheHollowTiger]

A school that prioritizes academics over sports, that's the most unbelievable part of the video.

[@froginsmog]

Screw the guy that does not like the car talk, heaven forbid Roanoke add his own personal flair to HIS content. Car talks with Roanoke is super cool and knowledge is power.

"Humanity always takes the W" Shows footage of Dead Space where humanity gets obliterated.

you should do xcom, and maybe talk about the differences from xcom 1 to 2, like the floaters becoming archons, thin men becoming vipers, and the sectiods becoming taller and stronger with the introduction of human dna

Ah, as someone who has lived in Ohio my whole life, yes, we are a security problem and I approve this message 😂

[@BohoAstronaut0822]

Its awesome youre going for your masters!!! I cant wait for even more in depth science explanations!

Roanoke talking about cars: "As we all know..." Me, who knows absolutely nothing about cars: *eyes glazed over, but just happy to be here*

[@zekehunter2473]

"the coach is about to terminate the the entire team" and right out the gate, a Robert Patrick joke. There really were a number established stars in the cast along with a couple up and coming at the time.

[@Cernunnnos]

I loved this film when it came out. Had it on VHS, haha.

[@andreh3667]

love your channel. love the movies you cover. love science. love cars, and the fact that you talk about them. idk how anyone could complain💀

[@SpunkyEnigma]

I want more car rants in your videos. I enjoy it

[@toecutter8124]

“Terminate the entire team” Ha, I see what you did there.

Gotta love that alien parasites are always a magical hivemind so that when the queen dies they all die out, instead of being like hive-society insects of earth where they just hatch a new queen out of the remaining eggs and keep going.
