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 could fight 2.5 millon ants

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.

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 😂

Could listen to Simon read the phone book and it would still be entertaining. Folks younger than 30, a phone book is something that a kid used to toss on your driveway once a year

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

Can we encourage people to just say platypus, rather than duck billed platypus? I'm pretty sure they all have that, no non-duck billed variety exists.

Crow's are no joke when I was around 11 we lived in an apartment building with a large D shaped court yard at that time a crow died in that court yard and no shit probably 300 crows hung around the yard for 3 or 4 days morning the dead one when I say morning they were crying and moaning. It was terrifying and beautiful at the same time.

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.

Now, everytime I poop, I can feel like it's a Helldivers battle between bacteria and human cells and I'm pooping the good fight. FOR DEMOCRACY!!!! 💩💀

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.

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

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.😂

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

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

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

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

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)

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

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