I doubt experiments like that using dogs would happen now - good job they were done early, when treating animals normally considered as pets was acceptable.

[@ArchangelExile]

​@@moiraatkinson"when treating animals normally considered as pets was acceptable" What?

[@moiraatkinson]

Not sure what you don’t understand but I’ll put it as clearly as I can. In the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s cruel experiments were carried out on animals and children. Look at some of Plainly Difficult’s videos. Nowadays someone is unlikely to get away with this type of treatment - the government wouldn’t sanction it and rules are strict in order to try and cut down on suffering and abuse. Even mice have to be anaesthetised before shampoo is put in their eyes and no elephant would be given a massive dose off LSD.

[@slowdownex]

@@moiraatkinson when treating animals medically? When treating animals good? Treating them bad? Just TREATING animals? YOU are in fact the one who doesn't understand, yet you have this long condescending response. Idek what your doing here bro, nobody else was even talking about that, do you do that in real life? Cuz I guarantee people hate it.

[@russB0B]

@@dannyhernandez265 you can think of anything and everything that way, be it in the sense of death or any other negative thing. Which only is a continuously repeating torture to one's mental health. Since a lifetime is just as inevitable as death, it is important to think positively of things part of your life by being grateful of small and big things, things that benefit you in your daily life and such. This will not only keep you happy, because your mind doesnt think automatically of everything in the negative sense, so youll end up doing more fulfilling things whichll make you even happier. Also itll make others happy and will make them want to do better and productive things because of your positive thinking, instead of thinking of everything in a bad way. Looking always at the negative side of everything not only brings you continuously down mentally, but others around you aswell. Good thinking and patience in everyday things is key to a good mental health.

[@dannyhernandez265]

@@russB0B thank you for the insight. Nothing has gone right for me the past year (partially my fault because of the choices I’ve made) but I will try to see things in a hopeful way. Even if my mind always sinks to negativity.

[@russB0B]

@@dannyhernandez265 you got this buddy, remember that youre the only one responsible for your sadness or happiness and the causes for both aswell, no one will come to make your life better, only you can do that in a meaningful way. The only one that can truly care about and know you best IS you, but if you choose to. What i said in the previous comment is just one of the many ways that you can mentally and eventually physically be better, because before anything, mental happiness and perfection is key to success in everything else. Youll have to build up on yourself, put in the work, especially when you dont feel like it. If you put yourself down, youre only hurting yourself, noone else, so instead improve mentally and physically, for your own sake. If you wont care for yourself, then who will? Be aware about whats right and wrong for you because thats the only way you can choose the best for yourself. Finding negativity in everything is a potent way to gradually increase the bad mental state. But finding and looking for positive and good in everyday things instead is a gradually increasing happiness provider. And if your mind is happy, only then youll get anywhere.

[@8Mev]

It's another form of heritage, what sustained life to others before us can sustain it to us, like a city being near a river or a lake since people need water to survive. Heritage is also knowing you are where you should be and facing challenges you can overcome, because it has been done before by others before you. Maybe one day humanity will slowly progress outside the boundaries of earth, in ever more hostile territories, just as we did coming out of Africa at the end of the ice age and moving through dark and cold land to which we were not adapted. With time technology and our bodies can adapt to almost anything, but we cannot compare our abilities to something too far off from what were capable those who came before us. It is a cumulative progressive collective effort.

As Chris Hadfield also mentioned, if you were to be in space without a suit, the part of you that's in the shade will freeze, but the part of you that's facing the sun will start to burn because of the lack of atmosphere shielding you from the sun.

[@512TheWolf512]

The density of matter in the interstellar medium can vary considerably: the average is around 10^6 particles per cubic metre. Perfect vacuum is impossible to achieve even in space. Besides, the effects of tissue stretching is overstated. They won't rupture, since at most the internal pressure would be one atmosphere, and we're built to live in one atmosphere's worth of pressure, unsurprisingly.

[@doggonemess1]

Thanks for bringing this up. He keeps saying "perfect vacuum" and what he should be saying is "near vacuum". A perfect vacuum is nearly impossible to achieve, and largely irrelevant anyway. The actual difference on physiology at 0.038 bar and 0.00000000000000whatever bar is practically unnoticeable for our purposes.

[@atashgallagher5139]

A bit of a misconception here. The water on your exposed mucous membranes doesn't evaporate, the water will actually boil. And in addition at least in the region of earth's orbit or closer any areas exposed to the sun will be heated to around 250°F on the sun side while they clan plunge to -250°F on the shade side. Space suits are water cooled for that reason, they are also heated so you don't get frozen to death in the shade though thats less of a concern unless you are touching an object like the outside of a space station that can rapidly transfer heat away from you.

The picture you used for the first human to come in contact with vacuum was Joseph Kittinger. The first human to free fall from over 100k ft, during Project Excelsior. Fun fact: one of his gloves had a leak and caused his hand to swell to about twice the size. By the time he got to the ground, his hand returned to about normal size

[@ranty_fugue]

An important principle I think you missed is that due to the extremely low density of matter in space, there’s nothing to transfer heat away from your body. Never mind how “cold” it is: without matter to exchange heat, or some other process, it will take (almost) forever for you to freeze. In all respects, the main problem in space is cooling! And I don’t believe that cooling due to evaporation (an alternate cooling mechanism) is anywhere near sufficient to freeze more than an extremely thin and small layer of tissue.

Alexei Leonov (the first person ever to spacewalk) was the backup commander on the Soyuz 11 flight. He didn't trust the reliability of the cabin valves to close themselves. Before the flight, he advised the primary crew to manually close those valves before separation. After the flight, Leonov tried the same scenario and learned that the valves took a minute to close manually, much too long in an actual emergency. RIP Soyuz 11

Hey! Please consider a video about Buprenorphine (suboxone in us). After your videos about opiates it would be amazing. This drug helps a lot of people (but works like your "ssri" description - helps but also does not) and has a very unique mechanism of action, because it is at the same time agonist and antagonist of opioid receptors. Everywhere in medic literature you can read "very mild withdrawal effects" which is not true, but it makes a false impression that this is safe drug. It is dangerous in its own ways, but used correctly saves lives.
