i mean this in the most respectful way but every single person in this series looks like their job, if that makes sense. like, there was a rollercoaster engineer and i was like yeah that’s exactly how i expect a rollercoaster engineer to look. he looked intelligent, a little whimsical, idk. it’s so refreshing to see people genuinely enjoy what they do, this series is one of my favorites on youtube

Shame no one brought up cable bacteria. They do "group respiration" where they share the responsibility of electron exchange using long strings of them lined up where the ones higher in the soil have access to oxygen or sulfur to do the electron exchange for respiration. It's kind of a unique thing and a relatively new discovery. It's one of those that makes mud stink.

The man speaks the truth. Our "zombie" movies nowadays are really just extreme outbreaks of a mutated rabies. A zombie originally was something that was mindless in the sense that it could be controlled, as a slave, by the person who reanimated it. The first 'modern' zombie movie was Night of the Living Dead but that film never said the word zombie once. People later on for some genuinely unknown reason started calling the monsters in it zombies years after it was released. Something like 28 Days Later is just turbo rabies.

Antibiotic resistance is the reason you should always finish your antibiotics even if you feel fine, if you stop early there may be survivors that will eventually get resistance. That's partially the reason why there are hospital superbugs that are highly resistant to most or all of our known antibiotics.

There's also way too many people who think antibiotics are a panacea for any given illness, and way too many doctors who will prescribe antibiotics to any patient who asks for them.

About Ophiocordiceps, the "zombifying" fungus: In studying infected ants, scientists found out that the fungi cells actually grow in the muscle tissue, NOT the brain. They control the motoric system. Applying that to humans would mean you were completely lucid about what is going on, yet unable to control your movements. Like you would have to consciously watch yourself predate on your loved ones, eat human flesh while being mentally horrified by it.

That C Diff is no joke. My potassium got to 1.6 (3.5 is low) and I couldn't walk. 4 days in ICU. I lost 5 stone over the next 2 years and got a 2.4 potassium level with partial liver failure indicated by ascites on the second round. Over a year now and all is good. Gaining weight and no ascites (they waited 6 months to give me a paracentesis for some reason),. The intrusion of the ascites through my diaphragm into my chest cavity wasn't good enough for them to give me a paracentesis, which is recommended by the NIH for all new cases of ascites. I got a hernia 6 months later as the ascites penetrated my abdomen. Then the emergency room doctor recommended a paracentesis which cured the ascites.

​@@peterc4082 Idk if we can call TB cured. Yes there are antibiotics available which can treat it, but you need to take a cocktail of these for about a year to fully remove the infection. Considering the rate at which antibiotic resistance is advancing, how many years do we have before we can no longer treat TB? A couple decades at best, is my guess. We need to focus more on prevention-based methods for combating this terrible disease.

You can tell you love your field but also want others to love it also. On the MRSA comment, we were told in the medical profession by our new infection control chairperson who was both a physician and had headed a big lab. He said that we could stop isolating MRSA patients because almost all health care providers are already colonized with MRSA. A short time later, our infection control committee voted to stop isolating for MRSA after presenting health research on this.

Microwaves don’t operate on heat, nor do they “get hot”. But MORE importantly, your microwave does NOT distribute its radiation evenly inside. It has beams that point and shoot in very specific directions inside. Some areas inside get very little radiation exposure. It’s primarily focused straight at the center. That’s why most microwaves have a turnstile inside.

Pyrococcus Furiosus. Now that is such a badass name I haven't heard in a while for a microbe. Also, if I'm understanding this correctly, is he eluding to Tardigrades basically pulling off Suspended Animation to survive those extreme conditions?.
@vectorwolf

Yep, that's exactly it. There's some lichens and other things that can pull it off too. Some viruses are pretty immortal too but it's easier to survive when you're such a simple organism you barely qualify as 'life'.

For aging the edges of pages realistically I've had a lot of success by (with the book firmly closed) dampening the edges of the pages then going over them with a stiff wire brush. For an even more antique finish a blend of tea and coffee can be used, going darker for older, again painting the edges with the book closed and going over with a stiff wire brush while damp.

If you are concerned about your attention, I recommend talking to a professional for treatment or a diagnosis!! For some advice or just general conversation, comments like these are fine :^] Both places are giving information!! It's just a different type!! I have autism and a bunch of other conditions that can affect attention!! While it is true that this video is a lot of information at once and thus could affect your knowledge retention and attention, try and think of other things that could affect your attention too!! Like, are you tired or hungry?? Have you slept well lately?? Or how is your mental and emotional state!! Just because you can't pay attention doesn't mean you have ADD, autism, or ADHD!! It could be something else or it could actually be ADD or ADHD!! please talk to a doctor for a diagnosis and listen to others for some advice or a sense of community :3c

@Birdman-z6o He wasn’t specifically referring to this video but was instead discussing the broader difficulties he faces when required to learn new things. His comments suggest that he may struggle with mental stability, which could be affecting his ability to process or adapt to new information. This ongoing issue seems to hinder his capacity to engage with new concepts or tasks, potentially indicating a deeper cognitive or emotional challenge. Therefore, it is suggested that he consult a professional. However, this does not imply that he is mad or insane.
