Hi

[@davidLhorrorfilmz]

Yes we need to protect the animals

[@cesarvictorino4301]

What if Wild Animals suddenly gained human intelligence and speech?

[@emansfvera]

If they did, we wouldn't know about it, even with modern research and tech.

[@c-lo7187]

And thumbs

[@sytestorm]

Then it is over for humanity. That's the only reason why humans rule the earth, our free will of thinking. Other than that we would just be naked bodies without protection

[@Spider_Gwen3]

Then they'll have the lead & will enslave us cause their organs & defense system are much more strong

[@37boy60]

Ants would be terrifying

[@MoonBeamLight]

I hope this channel is around for a long time. I love it so much.

[@happyandhealthy888]

I will editable planet,so everything can functionate properly

[@matty6598]

One of my theories about cambrian explosion animals is that some of them probably went further underwater, further than we can get to

[@r4v3nzcr0ws]

okay im not a hater BUT i think out of all prehistoric periods the cambrian would be the safest. as long as you stay away from sea scorpions and orthocones maybe you could pretty much fight anything else off. and if you did need food you could probably just kill and eat an anomalocaris since its basically just a big shrimp. the bacteria stuff is true but thats not really a cambrian specific issue

[@evancase3087]

Dang hate to see this channels views fall off. Content is high quality as always, KZbin algorithm at work as usual

[@AbsoluteAnna.-du3ux]

The flattened slithering sea creature looks like a prehistoric shrimp

[@just-eden]

I love these "live in ... period" so much ♡ Could you do an episode on ancient or medieval Asia? That would be so interesting :D

[@AbsoluteAnna.-du3ux]

The green round yet flat head fish was adorable

[@macwelch8599]

Sea Scorpions would be the only reason why I wouldn’t go there

[@user-pf8ow4xd6z]

this is so intersting! thanks for making it.

[@FebruaryHas30Days]

Fun fact: Make a little influence in the Cambrian (or much better, the Paleogene) period and you could end up changing the Earth into a world of furries.

[@bouhhgz1969]

You mean 'Zootopia'

[@jeanstewart9484]

Could you make a What If… the great salt lake dried up. I saw if that happens, all the dust from the bottom would make Salt Lake City uninhabitable. Something similar happened on a smaller scale in California in the 1800s and now that town is a ghost town.

[@eileenlocke7877]

Luv this channel thank u 🙏

[@junxia8119]

as long as you could adapt to the atmosphere back then, you would be the king of all because of your mobility and jaw

[@Unknown-tx5iq]

Please cover this topics if possible:- What if there existed a perfect mirror that would reflect 100% light? What if we started cloning human species? What if light travelled at the speed of sound?

[@lisagiannos4657]

Hmm🤔interesting! Since I’m interested in the history of prehistoric creatures whether in sea, land or sky, this is one of my favorite videos of........WHAT IF You lived in the Cambrian Period. I know is too far fetched and providing I had my own Time Machine it would be one of those periods I’d travel🧳in time,🧭 as fascinated and astonished I would be to see how all these prehistoric animals evolved it would also be frightening too.

[@user-zt3wl2hc7p]

I would love to go back in time and see and explore all of that ❤

[@iissss9847]

Hello what if, big fan here since 2019 🎉❤

[@yasinmonir3676]

What if everyone on earth breathed at the same time

[@RaghavBabbar]

isn't that already happening at every moment?

[@NanobanaKinako]

Did you stopped breathing at some point?

[@KalinLovesHisFans]

I need to see these in resl life

[@thunderboltskyy8083]

The owl 🦉 is cute 😂

[@kyogery8927]

Can we just say that as troubling these problems would be, I would be happy to take in the night sky! Moon would appear slight larger also. I say be excited for the little thing! Also night sky is big not tiny

[@thatmaninblack]

There are pre-Cambrian animals too. Like graboids. 😀

[@leediaz5690]

95% of creatures live that time were lost in history and you don't know ever existed on Earth

[@bxbygirllnik7685]

Can I dive that far into the future please

[@NanobanaKinako]

What if we survived the end of the universe?

[@AbsoluteAnna.-du3ux]

The flying fish look like prehistoric sea horses

[@glickflock]

The cambrian era was further split into 8 periods . Devonian, Permian ,Ordovician , Silurian ...

[@ntalebashir]

Believing in evolution and its sisters needs alot of gullibility

[@thecoolkidtv635]

What if the trench from the meg movies was real?

[@Rmm1722]

[@Z-bone64]

0:28...it's the lobstrosities from Stephen King's Dark Tower series (The Drawing of the Three; book 2) 👍

[@ahmadsantoso9712]

What if I said "bombardo" while pointing a stick at Daniel Radcliffe?

[@WhiteBellbird]

Can you do a video on what if a nuke or bomb was dropped on permafrost like in Siberia

[@arianashade1634]

Hi, quick question. Can you please do a video about dinosaurs and humans living together today? Like if they hadn't gone extinct.

[@ashleynorilus]

[@silageheap795]

What if I'm taking a shower and I slip on a bar of soap?

[@lutinajohn61]

What if there is very smart and intelligent person that have: psychological knowledge that know what will other people think and do, physics knowledge that can calculate everything just in mind and know every single things of butterfly effects, zoology that know every living creature's characteristic from birth to death chemistry, biology, geography, economy, army science, quantum, history, have every single academic title a to z, etc... and quick mental calculation that can predict what will happen in future from those information above and say to the whole world "don't do this, because you will get this result" and/or "do this so you will get this result" and "this might feel bad for you but it is actually good for you, this might feel good to you but it is actually bad for you" or assume just say to you, not the whole world. will you follow his guidance ? please make that video 😂

[@JhebKrueger]

I Asked ChatGPT and changed the world to their childrens ChatGPT 3.5: While having a vast range of knowledge and the ability to predict outcomes may make a person highly intelligent, it doesn't guarantee that others, such as the person's children, will unquestionably follow their guidance. Several factors come into play when considering the likelihood of people following advice or instructions: Trust and Relationship: Trust is a critical component. If the person has a strong and trusting relationship with their children, the likelihood of the children following their guidance is higher. Trust is built over time through consistent and reliable behavior. Individual Choices: People, including children, have their own personalities, desires, and ambitions. They may choose to follow or disregard advice based on their own beliefs and values. Personal Experiences: Sometimes, people need to experience things firsthand to truly understand the consequences. Even with the best advice, individuals may still choose to go their own way and learn from their own experiences. Communication Skills: How the information is communicated matters. Effective communication involves not just sharing knowledge but also understanding the emotions and perspectives of others. If the person is able to communicate their insights in a compelling and empathetic manner, it might increase the chances of being heeded. Relevance and Context: The advice provided should be relevant to the current situation and consider the unique circumstances of the individuals involved. A one-size-fits-all approach may not be effective. Autonomy and Independence: As individuals grow, they seek autonomy and independence. Even with the best guidance, there may be instances where they choose to make their own decisions, whether good or bad, as part of their personal growth. Open-mindedness: People are more likely to follow advice from someone who respects their opinions and is open to dialogue. If the person is too authoritative or rigid, it might lead to resistance. In summary, while possessing immense knowledge and predictive abilities can be advantageous, guiding others, especially children, involves more than just information. Factors like trust, communication, individual autonomy, and personal experiences play crucial roles in influencing whether people follow guidance or not.🤣
