r/Nope - is that a... MOSQUITO?? 

Funny thing is, the spider playing the violin was probably mistaking it for webbing and plucking it to check for food.

Fun fact!! They actually do make art sculptures under water like that to prevent illegal fishing. It’s especially popular off the coast of Italy, the sculptures are a tourist attraction and it becomes a fish sanctuary as a bonus

The baby owls look like derpy aliens that were sent to study the strange questionably-sapient species that wear a second skin and fight each other for fun, and now they’re questioning their life choices because they think we’re gonna eat them.

For those that didn't catch it (including Click himself): The Rosette Nebula ever so slightly resembles a skull (at least, in the picture shown), which is why it was on r/nope in the first place. Creepy shit that either the universe is able to somehow almost perfectly recreate a skull using solar systems, stars, and planets, or we're able to recognize patterns in things millions of times bigger than us.

Fun fact: If you're ever bitten by a tarantula hawk wasp, the best thing you can do before an ambulance arrives is literally lay down and scream. Screaming induces an adrenaline rush and thus slightly numbs the excruciating pain you'll be in and laying down prevents you from injuring yourself even more if you fall down in pain. Fun things, really.

Spiders: Scared of you, eats other bugs Mosquito: Awful, full of disease

My Irish (Gaelige) teacher discovered that her house had been built on a mass grave and was utterly thrilled at the notion. People came in droves to dig up her floor boards and remove bones and she took photos of it all to show us. Absolutely horrifying. and she was still happy enough to sleep UP-FREAKING-STAIRS while her entire ground floor was just dead people. SUPER NOPE

As a junior entomologist and ant enthusiast I can confirm that ants do indeed do that when transporting the queen.

The snakes coming out of their burrow are so cute. Swaying around, taking in the scents and warming up. They might have just come out of winter dormancy.

As a Australian I can confirm that you can domesticate Kangaroos but you can train it to attack strangers. My uncle had a "pet" one called Robert. No one got passed Robert

Note: pelicans do NOT take their spines out they just stretch their pouches to cool down and press it against their necks.

The garter snakes (14:23) are absolutely adorable. Edit; Fun fact, garter snakes are pretty much harmless. They can release a smell via "musking" but are non-venomous to humans.

Fun fact: divers always go in pairs, so it would be at least two people scared of the skeletons vibing in dark waters

For anyone curious: the short shouted croc from some of those clips is Rex; she belongs to Snake Discovery here on RU-vid. She was rescued from a neglectful previous owner and the reason her snout is so short and upturned is because her previous owner kept her in such a small living space for years that her growth was severely stunted and her snout deformed as she grew. She’s doing well now tho, and seems very happy in her new enclosure 💖

I once found a large insect and caught it in a glass. When I brought it home, I looked it up. apparently, it was a tarantula hawk wasp that I had BROUGHT INTO MY HOUSE!!! Turns out, it is the state insect of New Mexico (where I live), has the second most painful sting of any insect (second to the bullet ant), and has an average size of two inches. If you are stung by one of these, the best advice to follow is to lay down and scream. Not even joking.

are we just not gonna talk about the empty subway jumpscare because that made my body take a screenshot

As an Australian, i can confirm our priminister is protected by trained and armed kangaroo body guards.

If it helps anybody feel a little less uncomfortable, it is actually a myth that pelicans can push their spines into their mouth; the "spine" is simply something called glottis exposure, which essentially just means that they're inverting the skin beneath their beak. Additionally, they don't do this to cool down. They do this to adjust the pouch so it is back in its normal position. It's apparently also related to hygiene. Still, it looks very strange regardless of what it is. I will note that I am not a professional, I just recalled that this was a myth and decided to ensure that I was remembering correctly/fact check for this comment.

*bear opens door* Click: "Oh, imagine if it was a duck opening the door." Me: *flashback to when a couple of swans tried to open my patio door like the velociraptors in Jurassic Park*

As a Floridian I can confirm that we do in fact take our gators to Walmart and let them pick out toys.

The snakes coming out of the burrow wasn't even a "nope." They were cute widdle danger noodles. Now, that one in the lake thicker than my whole body, THAT'S A NOPE.

A "tarantula hawk wasp" is ironically a type of "spider wasp" that actually EATS the tarantulas.

So my guess with the cellar at 8:31 is that it's either a basement to go into for things like tornadoes, or it was to hide alcohol during the time of prohibition, when they had to make alcohol and sell it. Usually they would have concealed basements and/or rooms that were usually not in the blueprints of houses be made so that they could get away with it and not be caught

14:39 That's a den of Garter snakes! Garters are one of the very few species of snakes that are communal, and also who go into a legitimate hibernation over colder seasons (other snakes go into something called brumation, which is similar but not exactly like hibernation) During colder seasons, Garters will actively seek out other Garters, and find abandoned burrows and hibernate together until spring. There can be a shocking number of Garters in one den, upwards of fifty sometimes. And then when they wake up in spring, they immediately start trying to get it on with each other lmao garter snakes are so weird. Edit: Also, that behavior is called 'periscopeing', and lots of snakes do it. Those ones are likely doing it because they're looking around for potential predators before coming out of the den, or they likely see the person filming moving around and are watching to see if they're a threat. It's very common for pet snakes as well, for them to just freeze when you walk up to their tank, staring at you for a full minute before summarily ignoring you and carrying on what they were doing lmao. Also 16:50 that's likely a juvenile anaconda. Sub-adult, at most. Not full grown.

I didn't realize anacondas were THIS huge. Now imagine the extinct Titanoboa.

"I'm not someone who believes in ghosts." When people start with this my immediate response is. "Well there's your problem right there."

Fun fact: Some of the gator vids are Rex from Snake Discovery ty channel. She cannot be released into the wild bc of her being raised/improper cared for by humans before her current "parents" rescued her. The clips where she was being cleaned and with a toy in her mouth was her. 😆

That astronaut was pretty safe though. He had the gravitational force of his giant cast iron balls to keep him from drifting too far. 20:30

"I'm not someone who believes in ghosts." Yeah, but they believe in you.

8:44 I love how they have a "You shall not pass" mat guarding the way in. Im guessing to ward off any demons or balrogs that reside in that basement.

14:24 As a snek owner, I instantly brighten when I saw all those Garter Snakes. Garter Snakes are harmless. So, you won't have to worry about them. Also, those snakes were coming out of brumation. Brumation is the reptile version of hibernation. Either that, or you found a newly hatched clutch of eggs.

as an Australian , kangaroos can be domesticated if the were raised by people as a joey . my mum rescued a joey and raised it for awhile and once it was healthy enough she let it go back in the wild but when we go to the place where she let it go it still comes up to us it's so cute . I also I love ur videos u are freaking halarious I'm a new subscriber. and statues are creepy as hell.

Imagine being a burglar, going into a house, and suddenly you hear "Oh, I thought I could smell someone sneaking into my house"

The ants in the center of the tunnel seemed to transport eggs, so perhaps that's why they're protecting it. They're moving the whole colony

16:08 There's a story by Yasutaka Tsutsui where people just all walk off into the ocean, literally shoulder to shoulder. Trampling and drowning anyone who falls behind and gets in the way. That waterpark is like the floaty version of that.

7:10 that is the hive of ants moving locations. The ants shown in this video are essentially the protector ants. They usually stay in the hive, kind of like a crown guard of sorts as they're meant to protect the queen and other ants if an intruder where to ever get into the hive. They also dig the tunnels and living spaces for the other ants. They are the protectors of the hive, therefore they are they largest and the strongest and also the most venomous of the ants in a hive. When the hive needs to move for whatever reason, such as in this video, they create a tunnel with each other for the other 'weaker' ants, as well as the queen, to move once the scouts have found a new location for the hive. They will lead the others of the hive to the new location and protect them from all sides, which is why they will attack anything that touches the tunnel.

YES FINALLY, my time has come: 14:25 Those guys are garter snakes, a species of snakes that are quite unusual in their behavior compared to other snakes. The person filming has come upon an occupied burrow where a group has hibernated together, the sheer amount of snakes being comfortable alongside each other is quite rare in the snakedom. I guess in the video it is spring and this bundle of snakes has just come out to soak up some warmth. There are probably a lot more snakes down there. They are a non venomous species, nativ to North America and are one of few species than can be homed in groups. Furthermore those gurls are ovoviviparous - meaning they incubate the eggs inside of the female, the babies than hatch whilst still inside and then are given birth to.

Those babby sneks leaving the burrow are so dang adorable

I was needle felting while watching this and I looked over to the part with the empty subway and I very nearly stabbed myself during the jumpscare

28:06 it may just be the floridian in me, but those crocodiles belong in r/aww and not r/nope.

The "croc" being cleaned , reading and picking a toy is actually an alligator named Rex. She can be found on the Snake Discovery channel and is a prefect example why you shouldn't keep crocs or gators as pets. Also the many lil sneks are garter snakes and might be a newly born litter.

Click: *adorably butchers Australian accent* Roo outside the door: heard you were talking shite, mate

16:05 yes and it has happened before. There was also a case of the wave mashine malfunctioning and a bunch of people dying from being pushed down by people trying to escape.

16:27 "I'm going to respectfully get tf out."

Wolves are surprisingly huge. If they stood up on their hind legs, they'd be as tall as an adult human. They can stand at your waist, not your hips, and maybe a bit higher. They're massive animals, at least compared to their cousin, the dog. They're so beautiful and so misunderstood.

Last time I was this early Click could still twirl his evil mustache

21:45 That happened once, a hermit crab used a human skull as its shell

The cars noping away from that wall of water is actually from footage from the 2011 Japanese tsunami. It's awesome to see water that powerful, but also scary and sad when you realize how many people die during them.

12:07 The "expectation vs reality" gap with those baby owls is so big its legit hilarious.

"Moose are amazing" As a Canadian, Moose are fucking SCARY

Exterminator here! I used to be super freaked out by creepy basements and crawlspaces but I'm in them literally every day so I don't even notice anymore. I LOVE the spider playing violin, that is so cute. I have house spiders in every corner of my house for natural pest control as I occasionally get fungus gnat explosions in my 50+ tarantula enclosures. Also, yes, ants will do that when transporting the queen, kinda like an entourage of cars around the president. Also, the giant nests are yellow jackets, and it is actually terrifyingly common to have nests that large especially when people never go in their attics... I had one that was about four feet across this summer, it took me an hour to remove. Fun fact, if you give paper wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, etc colourful construction paper they make some incredibly beautiful nests! I ADORE stinging insects. Also, garter snakes are communal and hang out together, much like in this video, especially over the winter to keep warm. The lizard in the underground tunnel appears to be some sort of monitor lizard based on the forked tongue and the shape of the head, probably an Asian water monitor based on the markings. Awesome video! - Charlotte

24:18 Mother hyena to her young: We're laughing hyenas...not gigglers.

Two of the clips from the alligator one are from Snake Discovery, her name is Rex and her growth was stunted because she was kept in a small wooden box with not enough light or food for the majority of her life, the clips were from her birthday a few years ago when they took her to pet smart to get some new toys

Snakes staring at camera person: “Why is it just standing there, why isn’t it doing anything? What is it waiting for?”

I audibly yelled when I saw those fricking baby owls, while my little brother just giggle and said: "They're funny"

That bear from Annihilation actually scared me, badly. I couldn't finish the show. I had to watch a summary afterwards. Imagine a creature like that, in that situation, in real life.

As a Canadian I feel others should know that if you see a moose it is very possible u will die if you don't stay hidden or go somewhere safe (that's close) they can dive 20 ft, swim and run faster than any athlete. Not to mention how much they weigh

I love how The Click's first response to trespassers in his home is to sniff them. "Yeah, you smell alight, I'll give you the combination to my safe."

I absolutely adore wolves so seeing that one makes me just say, "wow..." instead of, "nope."

26:35 Yup...heart stopped.

Fun thought about spiders: According to evolution, everytime you kill a spider you see, you're helping those spiders thrive that are better at hiding.

Does anyone else feel that the inspiration for aliens came from people seeing baby owls in the dark

Saw the mannequin part in the actual movie and it freaked me out with anticipation because it was so obvious, was dissapointed when it wasn't even a thing

The snakes are called garter snakes they’re very common, and they don’t typically try to hurt you along with pretty much every single snake. They just want to be alone plus they’re not venomous.

16:19 The most calm and elegant NOPE I have ever seen. I don't blame this guy at all.

WIth how high that outside-the-building set of stairs is, it's probably WORSE than being inside as how strong the wind would be

27:59 the cutie in the pink harness is Rex! She belongs to the wonderful people at Snake Discovery.

20:50 As someone who lives in Nebraska I can confirm we do have massive car-sized mosquitoes that occasionally carry people away to their underground hive to be drained dry of all their blood Hope this helps

Those were just newborn garter snakes! Completely harmless and they like to eat your pests. It’s so cool to see a whole wild family like that! They give live birth so it’s quite likely they literally just were born at the time and they wanted to explore a little!

14:23 These little noodles are called Garter Snakes, and they are one of the very few snake species that live in social groups. Particularly like in this picture, which seems to be the entrance to a hibernaculum, where they spend the winter in very large groups. They're only found in North and Central America, so it's not surprising you don't immediately know what they are, but they're extremely common here, so much so that finding them in home gardens is common enough to give them an errant nickname "garden" snake, because it sounds similar. Also they make great pets if you keep a small group of them, as they're very social for reptiles.

20:46 in Alaska, there is one of those signs. The only problem is that it's in a rather remote region in a wooded area.

11:40 I’m just imagining an old couple looking out the window and seeing one of those things like “honey? Yeah.. there’s another one.. lock down the house”

That wasn't even the top speed of a bear, this was just a slight jug down the hill. Now image this twice as fast.

I almost drowned at 14 in a wave pool getting trapped under all the others with their inner tubes. Fortunately my dad noticed from the "shore" and forced his way through the crowd to grab me and drag me out. I will never forget the burning feeling in my lungs as I was trying to find a gap in the surface.

I've been going through this entire reddit series. As much as Click talks about horror ideas and interesting ideas for da spoopy, I feel like he'd get a huge kick out of SCP if he hasn't already read through it

19:13 I absolutely adore click’s reaction to emerald tree boa yawning

14:37 Fun fact! Those are Garter snakes and are essentially harmless. Most they’ll do is give a weak bite or musk your hands lmao

15:34 looks like it is either a Monitor lizard or a Komodo Dragon. Either way not something you want to surprise you in a confined space.

11:57 The video of the baby owls makes me think it’s a deleted scene from The Fourth Kind with Milla Jovovich

8:17 I think the thing that's so eerie about the nebula is the fact that it resembles a human skull

Bless their little avian hearts, barn owl chicks look like aliens LOL The critter in the dark tunnel that was licking the air is a monitor lizard/komodo dragon. Also, the mouth of the xenomorphs from Alien were inspired by dragonfly larvae.

"God is definitely not real but Satan might be" holy shit a vibe

24:32 I don’t remember if they were zookeepers, animal researchers or what but some people actually sued Disney for how they portrayed the hyenas in the lion King

29:48 Sorry, the stuffing the bad kids in a sack while hitting them with a wooden stick is an Austrian pre Christmas tradition(done by the Krampus). If you want to see basically the comming of hell, you should watch a "Perchtenlauf". (A Parade of people in pelted Demon costumes) Sorry for mistakes. English is not my mother language.

The alligator getting the toothbrush bath and the one with the pink harness are the same one. Her name is Rex, and she lives at Snake Discovery Zoo. I've watched their RU-vid channel throughout the pandemic. Some of the most genuine people who really love reptiles. Rex lived in a small box for decades, but she now has a great life. Thank you for this episode. I think it's my favorite. Also, I agree that spiders are good bois.

Honestly, it's so adorable how the cute little spider was playing the violin.

18:44 its not their spine coming out, they're just reversing their beak sac

28:33 puffer fish are poisonous, not venomous poison harms you via absorption (commonly either touch or digestion), venom harms you through injection In the case of pufferfish, it's digestion

The round hole under the foundation is not a well, it is an old privy. The outhouse must have been incorporated into an an extension of the main house, it's just odd it wasn't filled in. The other small basements with stairs are cold cellars, used to store potatoes and canned goods. My grandmother still uses hers, she can control the temperature with a ventilation window.

Congratulations Click, your "Australian" accent is an almost perfect Old Norse accent!

I love how at 8:44 they have a matt in front of the trapdoor saying “you shall not pass”

26:27 is a subway line in Toronto (specifically the Yonge-University / yellow line). That kind of train is the newer one (older trains / trains on the other lines don't connect endlessly like that). The clip does look like a horror game though. IRL the train is heavily lit even when there's no one on 😂only time it would be that dim is when it's stuck in the tunnel because of an unauthorized person and needs to shut off power to not electrocute them😂

27:48 the toothbrush scrubby clip and the PetSmart clip are from another RU-vid channel called Snake Discovery! The gator featured in those clips is Rex, a 35 year old rescue! She’s an educational ambassador and very calm, as well as being quite a bit smaller than your average gator of the same age. I do recommend their channel- they’re excellent ambassadors for reptiles and the reptile hobby, and they even have a zoo!

For the last one, imagine if they had security guards or even just normal staff disguise themselves as the statues and when a robber comes in, they do the whole weeping angels thing by moving when said criminal isn't looking at them. Also point is someone was controlling the lights to add to the horror factor.

All these hornet nests makes me think of a horror book I read when i was young called The Nest.

8:37 My family members have a house from the 1800s, and they also have (similarly creepy) hidden spaces under their floors-I believe also in their walls-like this. Why? The house originally belonged to a priest in the 1800s. We're in the Northeast U.S. The original occupant lived in slavery times, during the time of the Fugitive Slave Act. He was part of a network that helped slaves escape, and his home was a "safe house" within the network. Those "creepy" spaces served as hiding places where escaped slaves could hide if the home was ever raided. I bet the home in this video was built for either this reason, or a similar reason of being a hiding place for things the owners didn't want found by authorities. Fascinating!

18:58 probably that thing and the moray eel was the inspiration for the xenomorph. Fun Fact! The moray eel has two sets of jaws! An outer one for grabbing, and a inner one for chewing (aka ripping the fish into swallowable chunks)! This way it can eat the fish without giving it a chance to escape! Isn't that a fun animal fact!

That whole berry thing is nasty. Certain alkaloids in those plants are no joke and can do some nasty things. One plant that comes to mind is Mala Mujer, which behaves like a nettle. Nettles have a lot of stinging hairs. One guy that touched Mala Mujer said it was like being stabbed with nuclear glass daggers

Differences between gators and crocs: 1: Gators have rounder, wider snouts, more adept at catching FISH and usually don't attack humans unless provoked or fed by humans. The latter would cause them to seek out humans, often finding pets and small children. 2: Crocodiles are often lighter and are usually beige or moss green wile alligators come in various shades of grey and brown. 3: Alligators are a lot smaller than crocodiles. 4: Crocodiles have pressure sensors that can sense movement in the water all over their body while gators only have them on where their lips would be. 5: Crocodile teeth interlock and are visible at all times while only the upper teeth in gators can be seen when they close their mouths. 6: Crocodiles can be up to about twenty feet long, give or take, and are known to ambush anything that wants a sip of water, including any unfortunate humans.

26:30 my heartbeat and arms just jumped out of my soul trying to get away from my computer I think my heart stopped😭🔫🖤
