it won’t a fortnite battle royals and his crush just texted him a unicorn emoji. Which means nothing to a fish, but it’s still something. Bobbit worm don’t give a ******
9:03 - "Remember, we're all just tubes with some fancy bits attached, looking for stuff to put in the front, and looking for places to put whatever comes out the other side"....this is disgustingly poetic.
His complete aversion to the acorn worm makes want to know more. But at the same time there is an undercurrent of fear of whatever the hell the Acorn worm is capable of to make zefrank not want to talk about it. Edit: I now understand the aversion. And I sympathise.
I like to imagine that the only reason the octopus has not evolved further is the fact that adult octopuses can't pass on anything they've learned to their children (because the father leaves and the mother dies protecting her eggs) so they have to figure everything out all over again. If they were more social and passed things along down the generations they would probably be even smarter.
@@ABonafideSkeleton Great point. We humans owe a lot to previous generations and what they teach us. Imagine having to keep relearning everything again.
@@jackkraken3888 Hell look at crows; they pass on everything they know and as a result they understand concepts of weight, water displacement and analogies, they can build tools on the fly for specific situations and they can utilise past knowledge to adapt to potential situations in the future (like hiding tools for future use or even planning meals for the next day) on top of being able to remember faces and objects as well as developing their own dialects within their "language". If one crow figures out something new, then every crow will be doing it within the next few days and they pass it all along to their offspring. We already know that octopuses utilise tools and are fast learners, what could they learn if they passed on their retained information to the next generation?
I’ve been treating myself to two or three of these a day and thinking what great teaching aids they would be. Zefrank is really very good at what he does. And so, so funny.
I’m fully imagining an AU where humans have evolved a symbiotic nose based relationship with shy colorful fluff worms that are nervous to pop out in front of people, and that’s how you really know you’re close close with somebody, when they’ve met ur lil nose worm 🥺
I found this channel yesterday and haven’t stopped laughing yet. I have to rewind because I’m so busy laughing I miss some. Thank you, you’ve made an elderly English lady very happy.
It was 6 years ago when I saw this video for the first time. I’ve watched many, MANY more times since, as well as the other True Facts videos. This year has been more than rough for me and this video was something I came back to a lot. So I wish to thank you for two things Ze Frank. First, for making such enjoyable videos. And second, for introducing me to my favorite animal: the Bobbit Worm! I sincerely hope that you and everyone else that enjoys the peak comedy that these videos are have a good day! :)
@@wrarmatei While googling it is indeed quite effortless, you also have to consider rather time consuming process of going through all of the relatively untinteresting information in search of more curious of facts about the acorn worm.
@@quixotic4233 The acorn worm was most likely ignored because it's not a Polychaete but a Hemichordate. All Hemichordates are Deuterostomes, meaning that they have a face where their ass is ought to be and vice versa. Other Deuterostomes include Echinoderms (starfishes, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, brittle stars and so on) as well as all vertebrates (yes, that includes humans). This also means that acorn worms are more closely related to humans than to any other worm shown in this video. The acorn worm's glans shaped proboscis is muscular and used in locomotion, it's also covered in cilia which direct food to the mouth, located in the groove right behind the proboscis. The proboscis also contains the organ which is believed to function like a kidney.
For one of my classes, I have to make an informational flyer about a topic that pertains to the subject, so I'm doing mine on annelids. Specifically, earthworms because they're the ones I can relate most to geology. I put in some stuff about polychaetes too but I'm glad it's giving me an excuse to watch this video again, and again, and again, and again, and again. I'm linking this video in my post and no one can stop me.
@@mattwells5347 No literally. Nearly IMPOSSIBLE for a predator to catch those 8 armed badasses, unless they're on land. The fact that they can quite easily escape for the most part just by either loosing a limb, squirting ink to blind the bastard after 'em, or just by boosting themselves to swim away faster by using their mantle. Which is basically like a underwater jetpack or thruster for them.
@@spidertopus yeah definitely the most badass animal. Their super smart as well they often interact with divers out of curiosity.Unfortunately though most species live little over a year, guess no mortal body can sustain an octopus's sheer power.
I died laughing at "Imagine that a Williamsburg Hipster fell into a ball pit up to their mustachios and has to use it to catch kale chip crumbs and Quinoa."
The unique descriptive narration of these videos are truly awe inspiring - admit it we have all briefly imagined what it would be like to have this delightful fellow narrate our lives.
I have never had more fun learning anything, ever! I finally had to put my lunch down or I was going to choke to death! You are awesome at what you do, keep doing it, please!!
'We're all just tubes with fancy bits attached, looking for stuff to put in the front and finding places to put whatever comes out the other side.' Truer words have never been spoken.
"Imagine a bunch of Williamsburg hipsters that fell into a ball pit up to their mustaches and have to use them to capture kale chip crumbs and quin-hwaa. Ｔｈａｔ ｉｓ ｈｏｗ ｔｈｅ Ｃｈｒｉｓｔｍａｓ Ｔｒｅｅ Ｗｏｒｍ ｄｏ．"
its impossible to make me angry where’s the ink at then? It would have definitely spread through the water. Either the octopus bit back or...well, I don’t know.
And here is just another example of why Octpi are known for escaping. Aquariums, owners trying to hold them, parents who didnt know it was in the house and of course murderous worms from your nightmares
Ever since I saw the Bobbit on Blue Planet I’ve been obsessed by the horror of it. And now ZeFrank as validated my ocd for nature, horror and strange likenesses to things tht seem just wrong...and yet ....
Fascinating and beautiful creatures plus the Zefrank narration, a great learning aid thanks. I was also glad to have seen the baby octopus escape, there is a god.
"Imagine if they lived in your nose". Oh my, you frightened my magic blue mustache, now I'll be sticking sand up my nose all night to coax them back out.
Do you D&D games have an evil exploding cow that your family loved SO MUCH, that they talked about it up until the next game and every day after that? Yeeeaaahhhh.... HELP ME ;-;
here is a short story im playing d&d with my fam and my dad gets a tnt barrel with the loot (he is a barbarian my mom is a fighter and im a mage) and well.. while fighting goblins a loose fireball gets out my hands and well... a bomb and fire doesn,t mix well... my mom and dad were very mad at me i killed the whole team i don,t think it was my fault though!
It must be very satisfying to know that the fruit of your labor is the happiness of thousands and thousands of people. These videos always make my day.
”this fish is having a good day, it won a fortnite battle royale...it’s crush texted him a unicorn emoji , which means nothing to a fish but its still something........the bobbit worm doesn’t give a shit”
My favorite part of this video and it literally made me LOL was when it said, OH LOOK AN OCTOPUS! HE GOT OUT! OCTOPUS IS NOT HAVING NONE OF THAT SHIT! 😂
I have to say when the video started I started thinking “What’re those children’s toys doing at the bottom of the ocean? Is this footage from a fish tank... Oh! Those are the worms!”
@@AmaryInkawult not just that but it's also a massive toilet And plenty of things die in there too so add copious amounts of diluted blood and fleshy bits in this fecal bukkake pool. Isn't nature beautiful?
so that worm spreading sperm, and some random fish got spread, and the worm eats the fish, so auto gay? and all the fish we eat from the sea got that worm's sperm?
Hilariously funny combination of words combusted with innocent laughter and giggles leading to an entertaining funfair of serene atmosphere. Can't help loosing myself in its gripping maze.
To understand this, imagine if Morgan Freeman was your substitute teacher, but he was always drunk when he taught his lessons, and he only taught sex-ed. That is how ZeFrank do.
Your narration finally explained the _"No Hipsters Allowed"_ sign on the ball pit entrance at the local Pizza place... Thank you, that's one less mystery.
"...give me a kernel of corn and let's play butthole pachinko kinda worm..." 😂 I watch dozens of science videos each week to find the right ones for my lessons. I wish to god I could show this in class. Maybe on the day before I retire, I'll just show them all back to back!
MrCantStopTheRobot lol that'd be expecting parents, admins, and the school board, etc to have a sense of humor in addition to curiosity about the "grosser" sides of science. Have you noticed a relaxed, easy going atmosphere in any aspect of the US lately? Let alone in education. Shit, dude, I don't even post comments on RU-vid under my real name for fear some stick-up-the-ass zealot will accuse me of being a godless, communist, gay, GMF eating, vegan puppy-killer who thinks the earth is round and try to get me fired.
eheh, so yep, too much trouble *AND* sour-eye. Although to be fair, you could be skewered from both left and right these days... and left has the media / purse-strings too. I dunno if you're public or private side, but I wonder why anyone would want to be a teacher these days... I understand that it speaks to a nurturing or creative side... but still. A culture and society this much at war with itself, it's just a question of when it will fall apart. Dunno if that makes you feel down or makes you feel like a hero. Either way, thanks for your funny response.
MrCantStopTheRobot Mhmm exactly and I have felt like both? Or maybe neither...depends on the day and how many kids have peed on me. I actually enjoy the problem solving, figuring out how to reach difficult kids, how to support and communicate better with parents, and nuturing the flames of curiosity that drive learning. There are definitely days I wake up and wish I'd gone into medicine or tech. But at least my fancy English degree helps me write long-winded grammatically coreect comments on social media😁
Hi zefrank! I just recently learned about Hammerhead Worms and they’re terrifyingly fascinating so I thought it’d be a wonderful subject for you to cover at some point. Thank you for your fun and educational content, aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏼
