The Alien Storm That Ate Itself

[@DomoKuchikan]

I like this laid-back style of episode. The presenter's voice, sence of humour and the visual setting make the episode very enjoyable to listen to. I got enough excitement in my life, so i watch KZbin to relax.

[@maidanorgua]

I'm a huge fan of this presenter, with her engaging style but at the same time very soothing voice.

Lol I was wondering who was gonna have this problem 😂😂😂

[@I1like1wood1ash]

It happened to me, too! I also strongly dislike that song (long story) so when I heard it playing in the next room I BOLTED to turn it off 🏃💨

Hexagons aren't when you get a curse lifted? Science is so hard! Lol I actually have no idea what a bestagon is, but I guarantee I will look it up and learn!

[@nunyabiznez8120]

You forgot to warn the guests about Jupiter's winds fast enough to shred you like a cheese grater.

[@karakattankurai]

For real?damn,no good pictures from this planet😰

[@thehellyousay]

it wouldn't be the wind what does that, it'd be the crystals of the various ices swirling in those winds that'd puree you.

[@williambrasky3891]

You only do that if the party is entertaining enough to avoid awkward silences.

[@3800S1]

Not sure why people use that one these days as the farther out you go in the outer solar system, the faster the winds are by a large margin, and Jupiter is at a poultry speed compared to fastest at Neptune, around 2400Km/h, this isn't the gusts either, just the general wind speed at the equator iirc.

[@michaelobrien5891]

​@@thehellyousaybut there's so much pressure (1M x 🌎) and heat (21,000°F) that even diamonds would be liquefied.

nah she hit me with the darude sandstorm 💀 great facts tho, will be sure to use them at the next party.

You heard it in your head. That's how they get around YT copyright strikes.

[@ashleeminnow8453]

I love that the draw in for this video is that it'll help you be social at a lame party. So kind of you to assume I go to parties 😂

[@silviavalentine3812]

Being social is the lame part here.

This lady makes watching and listening to Scishow videos, a more enjoyable experience.

[@NotesByNiba]

glad to hear it!

[@godnoble]

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that SciShow understands the kinds of conversations I want to be having at parties.

[@DeathMetalDerf]

This was absolutely fascinating! I know it probably won't happen until I'm not around to see it or take part, but I'd give up anything to go to another planet or one of the moons of another planet. Even if I knew there was absolutely zero way they could bring me back, I'd still go. No question. To be the very first guy who ventures out onto Mars to get things started for more human colonists to follow would literally be a dream come true for me. I'm fine knowing I won't be back to Earth, and I would consider it a very high honor to be that guy.

[@zer0bre]

Okay, but what's your skill? What would you, being there, benefit to the mission? Since resources would be VERY limited.

[@mistyhaji-sheikh4560]

I really like Niba's presentation style.

[@NotesByNiba]

I watch most SciShow "shows" and just realized this is the 'normal' SciShow, with a new set, and you're new (I think). Nice :) .. You've got a good pace, tone of voice, inflection, and mannerisms. loved this episode also. The hexagon on Saturn is bonkers (I remember when they first started talking about it back in the early 90s). Looking forward to all the new interesting goodness that is SciShow :) ..

[@user-8818]

[@ldeadpirate9432]

*Fun fact for you that you probably havent known about.. The electromagnetic properties of different planets effects the shape and properties of the ice formed by the water.*

[@weirdsweetcoolplants]

I'd love to see a video on that!

[@efrandsen72]

Another way to break the ice.

[@helenamcginty4920]

The following is not aimed soley at you. I have noticed that many people get this wrong. I thought that students, especially non native English speakers, reading this might get confused So. 'Effect' is a noun. The effect of the rain on the plants was good. 'Affect' is a verb. To affect something or someone you change it. So the electromagnetic properties .......affect the shape..... (Note present tense English plurals only have an 's' in the 3rd person singular). Or you could say ....the effect of the electro magnetism is that it affects the shape.... I love my native language.

[@samstromberg5593]

@@helenamcginty4920 English gets so much hate and all of it is warranted but it has some really cool features too that nobody knows about because instead of teaching English in English classes they teach Black History Like did you know gruntled is a word (and behind floccinaucinihilipilification and maybe superfluous it’s probably my favorite word) and it means happy

8:20 "For comparison, the *entire* United States used a little under *500 gigawatts* in 2023" Folks, folks, folks, you of all people should know the difference between a unit of power, e.g. gigawatts, and a unit of *energy* , e.g. gigawatt- *hours* . Unless you meant that the US's average power consumption over the period of calendar year 2023 was 500 gigawatts (which sounds a wee bit high), you presumably meant to say the total consumption was 500 gigawatt-hours.

​​@@NamesMoriThe other videos are louder and do give the “shouting presenters” vibe, which is to be expected when they're standing up away from the camera.
