I came here from doing this on a different platform just so I could comment because I am loving this episode. I've spent my whole life gathering data so I think much like Hank it's super exciting when you learn something new because it's harder and harder to find new interesting things if you've spend a lifetime seeking them out. I was born with peripheral neuropathy so I have trouble telling where pain comes from and have spent a lot of time learning how to pinpoint it. I never realized that the average person has difficulty telling where in their body cavity pain is coming from outside of the whole heart attack thing because for me it's actually a little bit easier to pinpoint in the gut and belly. I'm able to verify it by putting pressure points in and I cannot help but have my mind blown by the fact that they testicles still map to the position of ovaries from what it sounds like. That is hilarious and makes so much sense when you consider the fact that you start life with them in the belly😂

[@motionless_horizon]

Here’s my (not so) fun stomach story! I have gastroparesis, because my stomach is too stretchy, and instead of holding shape, stretches out too much and can’t contract when anything is in it. It just hold it until it decides to make me throw up! My feeding tube is my lifeline! Remember folks, if you meet someone with ehlers danlos syndrome, it’s not just our joints and skin that stretch too much, it’s our organs and blood vessels too!

[@elliotsmelliot]

oh wowww!!! EDS facts never fail to amaze me! makes me realize just how little i actually know about the human body.

[@Katm0m]

i’ve had gastroparesis dx for the past 13 years and i’ve always had bad reflux (documented since birth in my medical charts). I can’t imagine what it’s like to not need acid reducers multiple times per day, or just being able to eat a whole meal without worrying about feeling incredibly bloated and miserable 💔

[@KOKO-uu7yd]

For other reasons, but my grandfather lived for years with a feeding tube. When I hear people saying things like "If I ever need a feeding tube, pull mt plug!" I think of him. HE CHOSE his care, every single step of his journey. He had probably 10-12 years more after needing supplemental nutrition through his tube, and about 5 years needing it exclusively. He had A LOT of life worth living in that time-frame. I'll now also think of you!! Modern medicine should never be dismissed. I hope the collective of all your symptoms do not give you much pain or difficulty 🤞

[@VeteranVandal]

If this is a collagen thing... Aren't the bones stretchier too?

[@motionless_horizon]

@@VeteranVandal It depends on what type of EDS you have! There’s 13 types, and (afaik) only 2 affect the type of collagen found in bones, and those types are extremely rare. But we do generally have lower bone density due to a number of factors, nutrition and chronic joint injury being the main factors. Collagen is in roughly 90% of the body, and is the most abundant protein in the human body, so pretty much every part of our body can be affected depending on what type of EDS and what type of collagen is involved

[@paulkinzer7661]

Halloween might be over, but Ceri's room, with the color of its walls, furniture, and cat, keep the spirit alive. Lovely!

[@jordanpatrick2627]

The worst question for tummy pain sufferers, "Is it a heart attack or is it just bad reflux?"

[@aaran2329]

😆😆😆

[@akhagee4707]

I'll add in haital hernia to that group.

[@rebekahcastro5430]

Hank with UC: "It's just a stoma, like have you ever heard stoma?" Ceri: like the underside of leaves. Hank: ... That, too

[@GoldenTangles]

As a surgical dental assistant i can confirm: sometimes we give up trying to extract wisdom teeth 😬 sometimes they're up too high to reach or at an angle where it would cause more harm to keep going at it

[@Robot_Eva]

Clearly it's because you want to maximize profits by making them come back for more lol

[@Meganos999]

That’s interesting. I’m surprised because my dentist told me even if only 2 need to be removed they tend to take them all out while they’re there so they don’t have to go again if there end up being future problems.

[@KailaMyers-v1v]

I have three kids with GI issues. I have regularly used corn as a “marker food” to see how things are flowing over the last 15 years. 😂 They don’t even have to know.

[@katyawhite4517]

I really enjoy the spooky tangents season every year and I’m so glad you’ve kept it all this time. But also happy to have regular cast back for the rest of the year 😄

As some one who has nothing to do with the PBS channel, I can objectively say Weathered is really well made and worth watching! Not to mention that lady is a great presenter.

[@anarchyneverdies3567]

I'll have to check that out, I love me some PBS... Totally off topic but do you happen to be the presenter, because that sounds like something the presenter of Weathered might say 😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@halem6580]

I had mono two years ago, and the discussion at the beginning about how things move around inside us reminded me of how AWARE I was of my spleen and the fact that it was likely enlarged

[@bandgeekN07]

This is the first time I've listened to SciShow on youtube rather than on spotify, so I had no idea what Ceri and Sam looked like. I'm not sure what I thought they looked like, but I'm very thrown by seeing them. Am I just diconcerted by them having physical form at all? who's to say

[@jasminev.3322]

Same. I think I went 2-3 years without ever knowing what they look like an when I actual saw them I was shocked because they were not what I imagined to look like lol

[@susanmonroemcgrath]

Two early episode facts to share: 1. Original PB cups are gluten free. The minis and holiday shapes are not. (Texture shenanigans) 2. I have all four wisdom teeth.

[@Robot_Eva]

Thank you susan very cool

[@jaxmader7309]

I think the nutcrackers from Christmastime are gluten free. I just looked and the only allergens listed are peanut, milk, and soy. Could be some sort of cross-contamination that you were originally referencing, though, and I'm not certain these don't have any of that.

[@wezul]

I ate a ton of raw veggies growing up, and love tough food, so I have plenty of room for all four wisdom teeth. I can even fit a toothbrush behind them.

[@ponyote]

Ceri's cat, just being super chill.

Hey YOU have a great day!🧡

[@p4tternss]

Cool little tooth story, like Hank has to explain why he has a spare Wisdom tooth, I need to explain to dentists why I still have a Baby tooth molar. For some reason (probably alcohol use from my mother) I was simply born without an adult molar, no roots no nothing. In the future I will probably need a fake tooth but right now I have a permanent baby tooth that has essentially been glued to the surrounding teeth so it doesn’t fall out.

[@kaitlynoddie9649]

i also have a baby molar left over, i doubt it has anything to do with FAS it just happens sometimes. you can tell which molar is my baby tooth because my old dentist did coloured fillings for kids (they’re gonna fall out anyways and it makes kids less scared) so i just have a hot pink tooth

[@tahlialysse]

I've got a baby canine tooth. The adult tooth is up above it, formed and everything, it's just never grown out or anything. When I was a teenager, dentists suggested that they manually pull out the baby and pull the adult one down, but my parents couldn't afford it, so no dice. It also runs in my family. My mom had the same thing (same exact tooth), and her aunt also had it. Maybe related maybe not (because I only know the data on this for my mom and myself), but my mom never had a cavity in her teeth until she was in her 50s, and I've yet to have a cavity (though I'm nowhere near my 50s yet). I've wondered if some of the same genes are related to this, as I don't think I take particularly good care of my teeth, at least not moreso than the average person, maybe even a bit less idk. Like I'm sure I should floss more etc. All that's to say, mouths be weird.

[@angelapotter8084]

I had two baby teeth until my mid twenties. The permanent teeth for two of my molars just weren't there. I finally got two implants, but WOW it cost an absurd amount of money to do that. I also have a tooth that's 180 degrees backwards. I pretty much just got a ton of the weird tooth genes.

[@mooncowtube]

The image of a Lady-and-the-Tramp-style simultaneous endoscopy-colonoscopy meeting in the middle will be with me for a long time. Thanks, Ceri... 🤣

“Before the sphincter extrudes it” Amazing line!💩💩💩 Fact: Poop spelled backwards is Poop😊

23:18 Ceri's cat does a big stretch in the background

[@ilse4846]

Ceri really went and threw vore at the end of the episode 😂

[@DeRien8]

Of all the episodes I've watched, this is the one I've known the most answers to. Like, O immediately and with certainty knew all the gastrolith questions and the mammal species with no stomachs. The crab didn't surprise me with the gastric mill sounds, the shrew bidness was hilarious, the "marker food" was very obvious

Yay one wisdom tooth club looking sharp today

[@theodoretibbitts9538]

Sam being terrified of being eaten alive for me really underscores the missed opportunity for there never being a Blue Whale monster/horror movie. They could just gulp a human up.

[@kappega]

But their diet is plankton and microscopic stuff At this point you can invent or reinvent something more appropriate

[@arcanealchemist3190]

moby dick, and the story of jonah kinda got the swallowed by big fish thing covered i think

[@Robot_Eva]

​@@kappeganot all whales. Killer whales are even known to hunt moose. Surely if we were worth the effort a carnivorous whale would eat us too

[@kappega]

@@Robot_Eva well sure, a wild cat can "hunt" me, I meant like Medium orca can barely swallow an adult, if we're talking "gulp a human up" the creature should probably be 2-3 times bigger 😅

[@nachosunbaenim]

I had three extra wisdom teeth (: My dentist pointed to the x-ray and went, "That's not normal!" anyway, supernumerary teeth are wild!

[@ZedaZ80]

My partner has had an extra two removed and is convinced another one is hiding there somewhere

[@Robot_Eva]

Wow like a shark

[@nachosunbaenim]

@@ZedaZ80 Ya know, I wouldn't put it past that.

[@nachosunbaenim]

@@Robot_Eva That or like an X-Men character with a goofy mutation!

[@GoodWoIf]

I wasn't prepared to find out Ceri knew what vore is lol.

[@terryenby2304]

So, what I'm hearing is, my unmet sensory needs (biting everything as a kid) is probably why I can nearly fit all my teeth in?? (I would have kept all my wisdom teeth, but one decided to grow into my cheek for funsies).

[@paradoxica424]

for me, as a kid, I would always take the largest possible bites out of my apples and that made for some interesting chewing difficulties and that has given me zero adult dental problems in the wisdom department

[@elizabethsullivan7176]

"Stoma", yeah my husband has one. His is an ileostomy which is through the small intestine, there's also a colostomy, which is through the large intestine. He had to get it when he was diagnosed with Colon cancer in 2014 and will have it for the rest of his life. He is cancer free now, though.

Sonic and friends are (usually) Mobians /from Mobius! Iirc it's a separate universe? Or planet maybe? But yeah, Knuckles is generally the last Echidna/last of his clan, with Tikal often being the main other echidna shown, though really only in flashbacks

[@ObviouslyBenHughes]

Ahh yes, the perennial battle between a firm hard rim or a soft squish all around.

[@elainebelzDetroit]

I kinda like when I feel hungry for similar reasons, which started when I was underweight, depressed, and had a ton of food allergies that caused gastrointestinal problems - so between all that, I rarely wanted to eat. So it felt good when I wanted to. Nowadays, um, I need to enjoy unsatisfied hunger a bit more?

[@AlthenaLuna]

Not that Ceri really needed a bonus point, but I'd award one for her cat being in the background the whole time.

[@ivytarablair]

right there with ya Ceri - the recees pumpkin (and easter eggs) are The Best Ratio of pnutbutter to chocolate!!

[@0oShwavyo0]

IIRC I had only one problematic wisdom tooth, but was convinced to get them all out because removing them in an unbalanced way would apparently cause the rest of my teeth to shift in funky ways 🤷‍♂️ kinda wild to me that Hank has just one lil guy chillin back there by himself, I was led to believe that without a tooth to oppose it it would just grow too far into my mouth 😅

[@arcanealchemist3190]

maybe your dentist just has some OCD in them and didnt want to leave you with an asymmetrical mouth. in the past people would remove wisdom teeth as a preventative measure. while this isnt done as much today, but if youre already in there with all the drills...it might be pragmatic.

[@SecondFinale]

I love Ceri's teeth. Not in a creepy way.

[@mayaenglish5424]

2:42 New Hank lore drop. He's got one lone wisdom tooth!

[@renm1824]

anyone else hungry and has a rumbling tummy 😂

[@darkstarr984]

I love that my boyfriend has all his wisdom teeth with few problems, while I have not developed any whatsoever. I am a genuine mutant who eats tough stuff enough I might’ve had room if I got them, but nope.

[@Hmm...Whats-Their-Name]

Gotta say, I never expected to hear Ceri say, "some people love vore" 😂😂😂

[@callabeth258]

Some people don’t have wisdom teeth! I’m one of those lucky/weird people. 100% agree with Hank that stomach pain isn’t always felt where the stomach is! I have GORD/GERD and I sometimes get the heartburn pain in my belly button!

Simultaneous Endoscopy and Colonoscopy is totally a thing. We used to call it "Tip and Tale" for short.

[@raphaelgarcia9576]

There’s a percentage of this audience that’s willing to eat a par boiled shrew.

[@JessScreams]

3:22 Don’t worry hank! I have one wisdom tooth left too! Except my reason is because I only ever had three and only two of them were a concern so 🤷🏻 they just left the one in there since it was so far up in my upper jaw that it wasnt worth the risk of taking it out if it wasnt growing into the other teeth.

[@raeperonneau4941]

Hank, I have one wisdom tooth and it’s super short. It’s half as “tall” as my other molars and messed up all of my other teeth so I had to get braces… again. No one would pull it because it was healthy. 😖 Every time I have to change dentist, I have to explain its existence. 😂

[@HotelPapa100]

Did anybody expect Hank being able to resist a poop related fact?

[@CorbiniteVids]

And there's Ceri with a steel chair (vore)!

[@heartyunho0716]

I only had 3 wisdom teeth.i asked my dentist if that was strange. My dentist said "It's not strange to be missing wisdom teeth, but usually, if they're missing, they are missing in pairs...so yes, it's weird that you're only missing one."

[@Reapunzil]

Crabs have stomach teeth!!

[@cartilagehead]

I kept crayfish as a kid, so I knew that one from firsthand experience. They (and crabs, and shrimp, etc) are nature’s ultimate detritivores, anything remotely organic in nature will be chewed on and ripped apart and fed into their relentless little mouths, including their shed exoskeletons, which they can make disappear disturbingly quickly. Spiders (for the overwhelming most part, I think. Maybe there’s one or two chewers out there) liquefy their food from the inside out with enzymes and then drink up the resulting soup, so eating their old shed skin is probably not in the cards for them.

Hunger isn't like a tickle to me unfortunately. It's more like being empty, in pain, bordering on having a headache.

[@ButcherofRagol]

Hey hey hey, Ceri's quoting directly from Sega's original official lore on Sonic, he is indeed just supposed to be a hedgehog from North Dakota. Dr. Robotnik was also a good scientist named Ovi Kintobor before a lab accident.

[@haydenhudleston3738]

I'm on the opposite trajectory from Sam, I've historically agreed with Hank that a classic peanut butter cup has the better ratio, but like Ceri my matured palate wants the rich peanut butter over the sweetness of the chocolate. But pieces are the best Reese's.

[@JoeMazzolaTheFirstPersonCook]

It's weird how I don't get tummy grumbles at the moment because I'm trying to get more muscular - I eat a little more than my baseline and to get that much food in per day i never have time to get mega hungry. It's a gratitude moment that I don't have to experience even that very normal level of hunger unless I want to

[@dawsonsmith793]

Can someone please help me figure out what "sneaky-snack-tricky-treat" hank is talking about at 4:31? I can't understand what he's saying and it's driving me crazy

Reese's Cups don't have enough peanut butter "stuff" to enjoy. The chocolate is fine, but the amount of peanut butter is too low. Nearly any of the other shape are better except for the extra large ones: I still want the balance and the XL sizes are too much the other direction.

[@yellowflowerorangeflower5706]

Misconception on evolution in the beginning. Not that it is wrong but the way he explained it could be interpreted in a wrong way. actions do not change genetics but changes in genetics allow for changes in actions that may or may not be beneficiary or neutral. Which then may or may not carry those genetic changes and the actions they allow to pass to the next generation.

[@bobspringer3728]

I have to disagree with the first fact you presented on our mouth and wisdom teeth. About 60 years ago as a young college student, I took a class called Theories of Race. This was part of the Anthropology Department and our professor was a long term member. Here hypothesis was that over time the human race has been changing. In particular the face has evolved to have less of a snout. If you look at Neanderthals, their mouth projects further than ours do currently. There are people that are born without wisdom teeth. They are further advanced in evolution than those of us who had wisdom teeth. (I will note that the basic premise of that class was the race is a social construct,)

[@lisa_42]

I would strongly recommend reconsidering anything learned in a "theories of race" class, especially if it was that long ago. It sound like there has been a heavy flavoring of racism and eugenics in there which is problematic, but also we learned a lot within just the last 20 years. We know that chewing harder foods while still growing can make your jaw grow stronger and bigger (this has nothing to do with genes directly) and we also know that we are slowly evolving in a direction where we all keep more child like traits (I forgot the name but this is a evolution and gene thing) this also makes our jaws smaller. Both and probably some more things are at play here and you can't just say one can't be right because you know the other one exists. Also evolution is not a straight line to walk to arrive at a perfect end, it is nature throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks, random mutation and if one works well it will more likely survive (and with this nature comes up with some really bad ideas even). So people can't be "further evolved" we are all the same level of evolved, just all have different traits and it's very hard to predict which ones will survive. Though in the case of not growing wisdom teeth I don't see a reason for any natural selection currently. There is no pressure from them because we remove them as soon as they cause problems so you'd pass your genes on regardless.

[@theunknownunknowns256]

I mean, you do you, USA, but your cultural colonialism can 'go away' (but said with different words). Know that in other countries, large portions of the population despise the rapent commercialism of things like turning a pagan festival into commercial promotion of toxic sugary treats. Next year, can we just do the science and not impose your culture on other countries. We have a Polynesian culture here that is far older than your toxic money based culture. It saddens me to see our youth copying the smooth brain US stuff.

[@peterprime2140]

Stuff like this is why your grandkids won't talk to you.
