That's Not Rain, That's Super-powered Pee! | Deep Look

[@mimischiffman626]

Hello! I'm Mimi Schiffman, the producer for this episode. Got questions? Leave 'em here! I will do my best to answer them!

[@ooiqien2136]

Excellent video! Just curious, how do hearing aids and phones utilize biomimicry with lessons from the sharpshooter insect to become more reliable? (Feel free to post a link to a research paper)

[@Kessoku]

is that insect a parasite?

[@mimischiffman626]

​@@Kessoku The sharpshooter can carry Xylella fastidiosa which can cause diseases like Pierce's disease. Deep Look made a video about that before I joined the team. Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3ekZ2RqiKp3g7M

[@IDK_BR...]

is pineapple gud on pizza?

[@yelonade]

What was the source of the pinging noise? (very entertaining and educational video thank you)

Props to the editor for making a DING sound each and every time a droplet of pee was launched 😁👏👏👏

[@mimischiffman626]

Hi! Producer for the episode here. Our composer Seth Samuel was the genius behind that sound effect!

No it comes with the pee

[@samdurian2112]

If every "ding" drops converts a dollar coins 🤣😏

[@8MEP8]

That bell sound was the worst part of the video

[@tasya8612]

And here I was confused, thinking that was the real sound of the pee or just a sound effect

I have now been conditioned to believe that sharpshooters also produce a 'ding' sound every time they flick their pee away

They do, I work at a grape farm, and every time I hear a "Ding" noise I get flashbacks.

Yes!

[@teddymattix4619]

fr this one unecpectedly was so intriguing

[@callystarizka-tata7892]

Yay

[@Free_Flowing_Anxiety]

It’s so amazing how animals evolve. This reminds me of Koalas, they starting eating their food cause there wasn’t much competition for something so non-nutritious and poisonous, so it ate it and developed ways to deal with its food. Easier for some animals to evolve around an objectively bad food than fight for a better one.

[@LimeyLassen]

Insects that eat carrion are really fascinating. They specialize so much. Some of them only eat one thing (like feathers), or they specialize at eating meat at certain levels of decomposition (to the point that forensic scientists can make a timeline based on what beetles are present). My personal favorite is aquatic stoneflies, who will patiently wait for autumn leaves fallen in the stream to ferment before they start eating them. It's like sauerkraut, or kimchi!

[@Free_Flowing_Anxiety]

@@LimeyLassen My favorite are Dung Beatles. While all the other insects just seek their food out to eat, Dung Beatles eat, sleep, breed dung. The ball is a nursery for their kids. A Dung Beatle couple will meet up to create it specifically for them. There are thieves who still the balls all the time.

[@hk8450]

The surface tension force of water is based on a certain weight. The smaller the size of the water drop, the more durable it will be. So even if you hit it faster, it will not disperse. Also, since the muscles contract and relax like a small water wave during throwing, water does not stick.
