In Round 3, the fact about carnivorous plants is quite misleading. Although, in good soil conditions they don't need to eat animals, these plants grow with poor soils without enough nitrogen, which they obtain from the animals they consume.

Yeah I thought he was going to keep going so I got quite surprised when the video ended there

[@mioroslund3023]

@@OWMANez Bro that's exactly what the guy said🤦

[@JaDroppingScience]

Thanks for taking the time to comment! Yeah I see why it's misleading. It'd kind of be like me saying humans can survive on just water and bread. I think I need to stop trying to find technicalities. I try to find those types because I think they'd be harder, but it just seems to lead to bad ones that are unfair to the audience. I'll try to be better.

[@greensteve9307]

@@mioroslund3023 No, he said they energy from photosynthesis. Whilst true, that's irrelevant to why Venus fly traps capture flies. As Ganso stated, these plants originate from areas with soil-nitrogen levels that are too low for healthy growth, so an adaptation evolved to gain additional nitrogen from decaying animals.

[@Leviwulf]

That sponsored "fact" about sunscreen is misleading. Higher SPF has no impact on the duration of how long sunscreen will protect you. ALL SPFs will protect you for the same amount of time (around 2 hours or less) and as you climb in rating higher SPFs become less efficient. 30 blocks around 97% of the suns rays, 100 will block around 98 and a half. Yes, it will take longer to burn with a higher rated SPF, but you need to reapply regularly for and over an extremely long period of time for that to matter.

[@JaDroppingScience]

Yeah, that's a fair point. It's just taken from the math of blocking the rays and doesn't account for needing to re-apply.

[@raphael122]

For the bonus round, I didn't listen to the whole story about the car in a thunderstorm and immediately assumed this one was true because I thougth the question was "Does it protect you from lightning to be inside a car". So I thought I'd try to explain it here: while yes, the lightning can strike and will strike on the car if there is nothing else attracting the lightning, you are safe while you are inside the car. The metallic frame acts as a Faraday's cage and will countain the high electric current outside. Even if you put your hand on the roof or door, you will not get shocked, making a car a very safe place to be in thunderstorm compared to outside.

Congrats on one mil!!!

[@OptimusPhillip]

Round 1: C makes sense. As the water vapor in the can condenses, the volume of substance in the can decreases, causing the internal pressure to decrease until the external pressure is enough to crush it. B, I'm not sure about, but I know they're primarily river-dwellers, so it makes sense that they'd stay in rivers and not in oceans (though stranger things have happened). I might go with A, because I don't think that glove is even purely black in visible light, let alone in infrared. (Damn, I gotta learn to not go with my gut in this game.) Round 2: C is factually true, I've seen it before. A feels like it could work, but would also be easy to fake. B feels a bit sus to me, but I think it could be true. I'm kind of left with a gut instinct, and I know not to trust my gut. So I'm gonna go with B. (The one time my gut was right...) Round 2.5: Ooh, I know this one. A is true, I want to say I learned it from Tom Scott. B is also true, I learned that from Veritasium. C is false, the reason cars are safe in a lightning storm is because they work like a Faraday cage, allowing the charge to move around you and not through you. (Badabing, badaboom, I'm not a total idiot.) Round 3: It's been a while, but I remember being obsessed with Venus flytraps back in middle school. I'm pretty sure they need to be fed way more than once a year. B and C feel weird, but believable, so I'm gonna go with A. (Okay, I was right for the wrong reasons. Admittedly, I was aware that Venus flytraps got their energy from photosynthesis, but I was under the impression that they needed to eat meat for nutrition. But I guess the soil you're growing them in is more nutritious than their native soil.)

[@fulanoide718]

Could you explain the part about the elctrons moving slowly?

[@blazkay3673]

I think Veratasium has a video on it

[@asdfqwerty14587]

Well.. the idea behind it is that even if each individual electron is moving slowly, the current still is created quickly - ie., every electron in the wire starts moving almost instantly, but each individual electron isn't moving much - there are always electrons present everywhere along the wire (well, except for microscopically small distances), and the device starts getting power as soon as the electrons at the front of the wire start moving, it doesn't need to wait for the electrons at the back of the wire to reach it. I think it's a bit ambiguous though because I'm pretty sure it depends on the context (and also how literally you take it). I'm almost certain that in some contexts the electrons can move much faster (depending on the wire, how much power is being used etc. etc.).. and if you take it absolutely literally then it's definitely false as electrons are always moving way way faster than that (even if there were no circuit at all, electrons move way faster than that just by orbiting an atom), it's just that they're moving in a bunch of different directions and it "mostly" cancels out when you don't have a circuit.

why does the soda one work?

[@what42pizza]

(SPOILERS) I really don't like the wording for 2.5 Option C because it's only technically false. If it had been worded something like "Cars are a safe place to be in a thunderstorm. The rubber tires insulate it from the ground and stop the electricity from reaching the ground", it would be a true statement with partially false information attached. The only reason it's false is because you said it like "Cars are a safe place to be in a thunderstorm because the rubber tired stop the electricity from reaching the ground". The main reason this is bad is that it means you have to pay very close attention to the wording in addition to the science

My life is a lie... I was taught to get in a car during lightning storms... Lucky me I've never been near a car during a lightning storm.

[@jerryt.meatball4794]

No, it IS safe to be in a car during a lightning storm, just not because the tires insulated. The safety comes from the car frame (which you likely won't be touching on the inside) safely conducts the lightning to the ground rather than through you

[@OWMANez]

0:45 wait, so is it true that if you have black skin these don’t work properly O-o

[@WillowLiv]

No because no matter the color, skin reflects infrared light nicely. The gloves, however, don't do such a good job. But why would you use a dispenser with gloves?

[@mattferrigno9750]

In the bonus round you're wrong. If it blocks 97% then only 3% gets through. You would need to be exposed for 33x and not 30x.
