Dude….I don’t think anyone is over here scrutinizing the quality of you guy’s green screen work…we’re here for you guys and the awesome science stuff! Which btw…don’t do that ! I was legitimately upset over here! 😰 well…at least I was for the what? 🤨🤔….5 ish secs before you clarified it anyways 😅👍

list of things that are only fun to say in paleontology: 1. "Yes, finally they found the head"

[@sephikong8323]

Sentence also acceptable for : - You are completing a puzzle - trying to find the original body of an undead wizard to destroy it

[@astick5249]

i literally commented "finally they found the head! on the official 7 days of science video before seeing this XD

[@kirksealls1912]

They found the head a while ago, we just hadn’t seen it yet 😜

[@amarie1693]

"So no head?" *Throws down excavation tools *

[@waxwinged_hound]

When I saw an article about Arthropleura's head I just about screamed! Arthropleura is my favorite extinct arthropod, ever since I was a kid and saw its inclusion in Prehistoric Park, and one of my favorite animals from the entire Paleozoic. It never gets old to describe it to people who have never heard of it. Glad to know that, yes indeed, it would not have tried to eat Nigel Marvin.

[@AncientWildTV]

fr Arthropleura is such a fascinating one, especially with its size and unique characteristics

[@sandrakiefler4649]

IKR!? So interesting….I still remember when I first heard about it back in the day it was said to be like 10-12 feet long oss but it was constantly being given all different size estimates aswell! I mean like seriously…it seemed like every time it was included on a show or doc it was given a wildly different size but no matter what out of all the giant arthropods from the Carboniferous, I have always found it the most fascinating one

[@ridleyroid9060]

Are eurypterids arthoropods? If yes they're absolutely my favorite extinct arthropods. But Arthro is cute.

[@Spider-r6d]

@@ridleyroid9060yes, in particular they are chelicerates

Whew, thank goodness 7DOS isn't ENDING ending, can't wait to see what you guys cook up both here and on the new channel! I also ADORED the archeological segment! Please please continue to do more of those in the future!!

[@SmashBrosAssemble]

The funny thing with Arthropleura is everyone wants to portray it as a giant scary bug, but in actuality it was probably incredibly docile given a fully grown Arthropleura likely had no natural predators.

[@ExtremeMadnessX]

In Prehistoric Park, it was depicted as docile animal.

[@SmashBrosAssemble]

@@ExtremeMadnessX Which is one of the best depictions of Arthropleura in media

[@william3100]

​@SmashBrosAssemble it still makes sense for it to be able to defend itself and not be completely docile, though. The giant amphibians at the time could've tried to feed on it. Even if it was powerful enough to deter them most of the time, it could only do that if it could bite back. Tough armor can only get you so far. Many large sauropods had no natural predators yet they weren't incredibly docile. Walking With Monsters maybe outdated but it's portrayal of a competent herbivorous arthropleura still makes some sense.

[@ExtremeMadnessX]

@@william3100 Millipedes defend themselves with disgusting smell. I wouldn't be surprised if Arthropleura has a similar defense.

[@darcieclements4880]

​@@william3100 herbivores tend to be the most unpredictable and violent species although less so in invertebrates than in vertebrates.

[@legendre007]

It’s always exciting when the topic is one of the pioneering arthropods to live on land. 😊 And exciting when Ben, Doug, and Emilia are in the same video, especially when Doug is human instead of cardboard. 🥰

Also obligatory fuck Elon musk I hope the SpaceX company gets ripped from him as a result of his illegal shenanigans. As a Tesla repair tech from 2016 to 2019. Plenty of intelligent people manipulated into doing grunt work for a pittance.

[@ElectronFieldPulse]

Good call. Social media is terrible for mental health. I think something like 35 percent of 16-24 year olds in the UK are not in education nor employed, and a significant amount of those are because of mental health. Social media has destroyed the development of human brains, the younger generation have a noticeable IQ drop.

[@napoleonfeanor]

As this channel is now done, I have some supremely important questions: 1. Why does Ben always have so rosy cheeks and doesn't seen to age (kinda like Smash Brothers series maker Masahiro) ? 2. Are parts of the cast family members or close friend. I swear I once saw his mom (nothing negative, I like family+friends working together). 3. Shouldn't it be "Seven Days of Science" ("SDoS"). I'm just German but my English teacher at gymnasium type school was a Welsh man, who had married a German woman, and who taught us you write it put until (and including) twelve. He also tried to baffle us with Welsh like pronouncing the infamous trainstation twice in a row and generally telling us about his home and the importance of sheep.

[@Tin-j6k]

Ben maybe heading towards tubby

[@KellyClowers]

In formal writing (business, science, law, etc) there are various rules on how far to write out the word rather than the numeral. But in informal writing (much of social media, writing to a friend, etc), as well as in titles, logos and other branded/stylized things using numerals is quite common and accepted (though you can still write them out if you want of course)

[@KellyClowers]

7DoS just looks cooler than SDoS

Seems crazy to start a new channel when you have one with 600k subscribers and lots of good historical content. I am sure they have their reasons.

[@BobDunlock]

I bet a lot of it has to do with the algorithm lumping the channel strictly with paleontology channels, which keeps 7DOS out of a lot of other spheres.
