Sound of Science: Skinny Sharks | Why Dogs Wag Their Tails | Blame Gen Z For The Blood Shortage 

Hello Ireland from Alaska

Never tell another person how to vote, esp when you don't even live in the country. Ffs Americans get a bad wrap for their arrogance

In this case, where so much is at risk not just in and for the USA but very much worldwide too. The input from others is fine by me. It sucks to be in this situation but here we are. Hopefully, for our Nation’s sake this current 50 year long growing infection of willful ignorance is not endemic. Vote Blue America 🇺🇸.

I have no idea what that has to do with anything, but I still liked it.

No joke. Also noticed the independent FX mixing for Stephen vs. the house mics. Extra mile.

I enjoyed that.

Are "lit" and"flex" and "fleek" still... on fleek?

Explains Uncle Iroh, too. "The key to wisdom and tea is proper aging", indeed.

explains why Asians don't raisin but then again nothing explains why the uk have so many old shits

Counterpoint: Brits aren't known for looking so 'youthful'.

they are putting milk in the tea, which is wrong and nullifies the effect. you need pure actual tea.@@erichancock6815

and sometimes it's a nervous wag and they bite you, which makes them happy again.

Best answer...EVER

Yes, very scientific 😂

Actually we mistake their faces for looking happy just because of the shape of their mouths. The tail wag however, can't be faked.

My dad did that also but in Maryland I volunteered for the Red Cross for several years not just in the blood mobile but camps for ghetto children and at a facility for the mentally ill This was the Age of the sixties . The Red Cross gets a bad rap now but back in the day they were honest and extremely helpful

Loved that cartoon.

Tex Avery reference!

go git ur tin hats bumbnuts

gowd ur dumb

That's the point I turned it off.

he was just doing US senate but without the filters they use.

That happened to me once (sorta twice), more than a bit disconcerting!

The nurse told me when I checked out that they probably didn't need my blood. What with the jumping as they inserted the needle, and the time it took for my low blood pressure to push a bag of blood out, my blood was more trouble than it was worth. I mean, they didn't say it in exactly that way, but that was what they meant.

Nope I love the Devil too much 🤣​@Repent-and-believe-in-Jesus

I’ve tried three times in my life to donate blood over the past 25 years. Each time I was rejected because of my life long chronic anemia, just slightly below normal no matter what I do.

The last time I donated blood, I took as long as three other people, and they weren't even sure they would be able to use my blood because the specific gravity test went "clunk" after racing to the bottom of the cylinder. THICK blood...

Ha ha ha ha!

I am from the US, but have been to India and they wouldn’t let me donate either because of it. I was flabbergasted when they told me. So ridiculous.

Same in South Korea.

Mate, don't take it personally. I donated blood twice a year, every year since I was 18 in England. As soon as I get to New Zealand, they won't touch my hemoglobin, because of Mad Cow's disease that was in the UK. 😐

YES! That was a brilliant bit. One of the best I've seen in a while.

cicadas do show up every year. it is just the ones you are seeing took more than a decade to mature and finish their life cycle

They trigger shellfish allergies for some reason as well.

They make great airplanes on a string.

Yes, they wait for the minimum number of weeks it's safe to give blood again, an 6:24 d start calling incessantly. Harassment is a good word for it! And, if you're O-negative, as I am, every local blood shortage, they call you first.

Very weak excuse to not do something that helps others. Closing in on 10 gals and always look forward to my eligibility date to come around.

@@ianthesoccerref Im sorry, but I dont agree. When their contact methods meet the actual letter of the law for harassment, I think thats a pretty good reason to stop all interaction with them. Maybe theyve changed their policies in the last 15 years, maybe they should have thought about that before they lost someone who likely would have been a life long donor (they took a pint from me in under 2 minutes and I never felt it)

That has always passed me off! I can sort of understand the tattooing issue, even though it's costing them a lot of donors, but the gay men thing is basically prejudice dating back to the 80s. Pure BS!

Every time I have seen that rule, it's always men who had sex with men, nothing about how they identify. Where do you live where they allow bi men to donate???

​@@Heritage367 That rule changed last year: Dec. 6, 2023. "Thanks to new federal guidelines finalized in May, gay and bisexual men in monogamous relationships can now donate at many blood centers around the country without abstaining from sex. Bloodworks Northwest, where Smith works as a donor services supervisor, adopted the change on Dec. 6." - Dec 22, 2023 - New FDA blood donation rules for gay men - NBC News

I'm so sorry to hear this. ❤❤‍🩹❤ I _used_ to donate blood - mobile blood team - but my veins are very very tricky - when took 4 people - *4* - (holding everybody else up) - thought, nah - I'm using too many resources

My defense is that I doubt they want my blood. Too many things wrong with me and too many medications that go with that. But if they want it, they can have it all.

things a vampire would say?

@@juliaconnell I can no longer donate because, among the 18 or so medications I have to take daily is a blood thinner. Blood thinners are NOT something you want to add to someone who is experiencing traumatic bleeding.

@@Seigensi How'd you guess? 😆🦇

Oy fleek

american recipes are just ketchup to alternating ratios no?

Just giving a pint is a 63 day wait. There's also the option of "double red" which is 126. Closing in on 10 gals. I don't get paid to go. It's just something everyone should do if they're able.❤️

good point! They also steal placental/ cord blood from women who give birth...god only knows what kind of $$$ they make off stem cells. If health care was the right of every tax paying citizen, maybe people would be more willing to donate.

yeah i noticed this exact thing too

Yes, me too, about the multi-year cicadas in the news. I looked it up, & apparently there are, for instance, 17-year cicadas on different schedules. So we do get them pretty often. Also, there are cicadas that appear every year,, or every few years. Either way, they're noisy! I live in. Kansas City, and they seem loud to me, even on 'off' years, lol.

Different species have different life cycles. The rarest (but not the only one this year ) is the coincidence of the emergence of Brood XIII and Brood XIX (13y and 19y cycles). The event won't affect NY at all

The human body can naturally regulate excess iron, but cannot regulate exogenous heme iron. Stop eating meat, and that problem will solve itself.

That’s ironic, because the treatment for having too much iron is _giving blood._ Therapeutic phlebotomy.

@@j10001 That's what I thought it should be, but my blood was going straight to the blood garbage and they told me if I donated again, my blood would go straight to the very same place. p.s. - I like the word "ironic" How ironic is that!!😹

@@j10001 Oh, and the three foods I love the most are the three I am never supposed to eat again - red meat, raw oysters and spinach! Another irony...

That's what I was thinking. The fact at 3:38 stated there said something about humans brains responding to positive rhythms, but that has nothing to do with the dog, nor explains why the dog wags its tail. Maybe it's a typo and it meant Dog's brain instead?

@@ty_teynium I don't think it was a typo. Evolutionary biologists love to the play the random association game 😁 that's why they sometimes come up with really wacko ideas. I remember recently I read something about humans walking pace and rhythm.

exactly, and we pay attn bc of rhythm. it works in both directions. The idea is that the tails wag *in rhythm* and that attracts human attention better than a non-rhythmic wag, hence better non-verbal communication.

@@quackman I see what you mean but I'm still not convinced. Rhythm is basically a repetitive pattern/cycle which is a fundamental feature of the universe (e.g. day/night cycles, electromagnetic wave frequencies, crystal lattice structures, etc.). Also, producing and recognizing a simple repetitive pattern is more efficient than doing it with a random pattern. I think there's a confusion between correlation and causation. Think of walking for example. It sure produces a very steady rhythm, but it'd be absurd to claim that humans walk this way BECAUSE it's rhythmic. Human gait is the most efficient way to move. So, you have a SYMMETRICAL biological machine moving in the most efficient way, and the OUTCOME is a distinct rhythm, not the cause.

@@Mr.Anders0n_ fair enough, I guess the theory/stud(ies) is there on both ends. I can't imagine at least a minor selection bias for dogs with better rhythm over the centuries. "not all dogs..." as the saying might go. Humans and our ancestors evolved over a gargantuan amt of time, with evolution favoring a more rhythmic walk possibly even bc of other humans' attention. I think like today, not all humans had the same perfect rhythm.
