Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface. We are a water planet, it makes life possible. But where exactly it came from is still a bit of a mystery. Some new studies have shared some light on this question, and it may require us to think about water in a whole new way.

    "This is the universe we're talking about.. something being insane was never a barrier before" Such a correct and epic quote
  • @wynmorgan3079
    “97% of the water on earth would kill us, that’s irony” Or is it ‘brinery’

    "You don't want kidney stones." This is a very true statement.

    Hi Joe, had a kid home sick from school today and as per usual, I had your video playing while I was preparing lunch. He heard it and asked what it was. Now he’s about 6 videos deep and you have another fan (10 years old) - never thought to share your videos with him, but so excited he’s interested, and not asking for the ones of people playing video games 🙄👍🏻

    That hemmaroid joke was so good, it's 10pm now and it made my tomorrow.

    "Then you're looking at the wrong moon." Obi-Wan, "that's no moon."
  • When you mentioned an alien that can’t tolerate water, I thought you would say “Stitch”.

    I was 14 years old when Titanic came out in cinema. I took a bath when I got home and remember vividly thinking how some of my bath water could potentially have been part of the iceberg which sank the Titanic... It was a fascinating yet sobering thought.
  • @illbrush3672
    You deserve much more recognition. You have taught me a lot in the last two years I’ve been subbed.

    Joe gonna hit 1 mil before the end of the year. Good for him. One of my favourite youtubers.

    4:43 Correction. The "heavy" water ratio measured by the Rosetta mission was HDO, not D₂O. This is also known as "semiheavy" water. Only one of the hydrogens in your illustration should have been replaced with a deuterium atom. The other cometary missions also specifically measured semiheavy water. True heavy water (D₂O) is much rarer in both the Earth and in comets.

    I've had kidney stones before. It's a different level of pain. My post calcium Stalactite pain scale goes from 1-8 and then there's 10. Breaking my ankle was an 8. I don't know what a 9 is. Kidney stones are like giving birth to razor blades. A touch of lemon juice is good for a flush. Hope you are okay now, and don't EVER have to go through it again! I wouldn't wish those on my worst enemy. Thanks for all the great content!!!!!!!!!!!
  • @MoteofVolition
    Love your work Joe, the humour is on point and genuinely has me cracking up. Thanks for bringing this knowledge to the forefront in an entertaining way.
  • @imbit-ish1644
    I have insomnia but your voice helps me sleep, thanks!
  • Ah ha so 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' was correct! Darn that Verne was a visionary & perhaps thirsty.
  • @eddiehazard3340
    Thanks Joe. Your videos are great. We appreciate your vulnerability. You share a lot.
  • @Asdfology
    "you're looking at the wrong moon." best joe joke to date.
