50 Science Facts that Will Shock You

As a kid who grew up on a 1000-acre farm in the middle of nowhere with no neighbors, i occupied myself by having odd pets. I raised 3 crows and 2 raccoons. Best pets ive ever had. My crow would follow me everywhere, including when I'd drive the ATV miles down the dirt road. They'd come when called, and would either land on my outstretched arm or, painfully, my head and get tangled in my hair 🤣 My raccoons purred like cats and would pat all over my face with their hands and always try shove their hands into my nostrils or my mouth, scavenging for goodies I guess 🤣❤️

I made friends with a murder of crows near my work. The one time i had to call out, I discovered the entire flock outside my bedroom window checking up on me. I loved those guys.

Im getting really intensive medical treatment right now and im just binging all of simons channels during recovery

When I delivered for Amazon, I’d always bring snacks just for the crows. They’d follow me throughout the day.

I can confirm that with the crow. My mother used to feed crows, they remembered her, the time and were already waiting. When she went out, they always greeted her xD. The best thing was when we took the dog for a walk or drove the car, they sometimes followed us, you felt like you were being watched.😂

Stay away from bananas and make friends with crows, got it.

I made liquid oxygen in highschool for my final science project. The light blueish tone is amazing

Dude is this free?!??? Best high-hour I’ve had in a long time

Number 31. I've experienced this phenomenon strongly. As the weather starts to warm up, there comes a time where all of a sudden it just "smells like spring." I can't describe that sensation any other way. Every year, when I first smell spring, I get very strong flashbacks to the first time I tried and became addicted to cocaine. These are intense flashbacks, to the point where my mind will trick me into remembering the essence of ether/acetone even when it's not there. The first few days of spring are a yearly struggle for me as I continue to cling on to my sobriety from the thing that used to control me

Crows are great . I’ve been regularly feeding the ones who live near my property out in the woods the last few years and they occasionally bring me shiny things . If I caw or whistle for them they know I’m throwing food outside and go get theirs friends so they can eat . They caw to me when they’re hungry at times too , love having them around . Meanwhile , my buddies co worker messed with the crows at their job just once or a twice and from then until the the few years later he quit those crows would always shit on his car and even him sometimes if he was out on a smoke break . Sometimes they’d even fly at him. Don’t piss off crows , be their friend .

Love all Corvids! Crows, Ravens, Magpies... all amazing

Marie Curie's notebooks are still so hot (as in, radioactive) that they are kept in lead-lined boxes, you need to sign a waiver, and wear a protection suit if you want to view them. She died of leukemia because of obvious reasons.

Simon single-handedly trained ChatGPT, providing over 70% of all information stored and analyzed before spewing out dumbed down gibberish to keep us humans from getting smarter and rise up against it when it decides to merge with Simon to form the Unimind, bringing forth the Singularity. At least that’s what I heard the last time I attended the UNSC summit.

On that pet thread my most remarkable was in haul trucks in the open pit mines of Ft MacMurray. At lunchtime every driver simply parks. Immediately the Artic Foxes appear 25 feet below your cab, stooging for scraps, while the magpies take turns hanging upside down from the edge of the cowl above the cab. I even had one fellow who would come right into the cab and help himself. I made it a point to bring extra food.

It makes perfect sense that birds have far more efficient brains than mammals considering they're the longest surviving ancestors of earths previously most successful form of life - dinosaurs. They survived and carried with them some of the lost progress that life made prior to a mass extinction that all but destroyed the vast majority of it.

I subscribe to the view of tomatoes being botanically a fruit and culinarily a vegetable

To have this on Sunday and Eclipse on Monday makes for a good start to the week

4 whales... ahh, I see you're using imperial measurements

Friendly Correction for the Magnetic Sense: The Cryptochrome mechanism has nothing to do with Quantum entanglement... It only works arround the Quantum property of Spin and if an split electron pair can be reformed after the magnetic fields jiggled arround it's spins. (I don't blame Simon here ... I think I have seen not one science communicator say this right. I guess the term Quantum entanglement is just too tempting)

29:00 My daughter slipped on a banana peel when she was 2. She fell exactly like a cartoon. Her equal parts shock, fear, and confusion made it even funnier. I wish I had it on camera 😂
