  • These documentaries are cool and all but I miss the good ol existential crisis videos.

    Michael - "Now I can say my trip was 'crappy.'" Poopologist- "literally every day for us." Slow down with the existential problems m8

    Seeing Vsauce Michael pull “crappy” puns in front of serious scientists is truly inspiring

    Clearly Micheal hasn't seen the 2 girls 1 cup video
  • Some aspects of disgust are entirely due to social conditioning. Years ago I saw a documentary where a guy showed a freshly made bowl of delicious (to me!) spaghetti to an African tribesman who had never encountered such a thing to see if he would be willing to eat some. He refused. In fact, he was so disgusted by it he had a difficult time even looking at it! Yet, he ate an entire bowl of LIVING grasshoppers without batting an eye. Most of us here in the west would have the same level of disgust for that bowl of grasshoppers.

    This was awesomely interesting! Michael, what about "The origins of sarcasm," seriously, I think it would be really interesting. What is our necessity for sarcasm, or witty responses? Is it just a bi-product of our complex brain, and what role do you think it plays over all? Maybe it's a subconscious brain exercise?
