We Are Lucky These Are Microscopic... 

Jam's Germs could you maybe make the explanation font a tad bit darker next time? It would really help us see the text onscreen.

Actually you should just do a voice over about the cell and what it’s doing. Or add some music.

I really enjoy watching your videos, I suppose we share a common passion. I was wondering if you could tell me what type of microscope you use to make your videos? The clarity is amazing!

Thanks to you, I would like to buy a microscope now. Can you recommend a cheap microscope to look at large to medium sized single-celled organisms? Thank you in advance :)

Do you ever sneak into your local Kroger at 3:52 am through the back door that you propped open during store hours in order to make your way over to the ice cream sandwiches and then open each individual ice cream sandwich up and cum inside the frosting of every one on the shelf and after your done you reseal the ice cream sandwiches and meticulously put them back on the shelf, making sure nobody can tell what you did? Me neither. Anyways, long story short, is it just me or should it be easier to flatten a stray dog or cat into the shape of a frisbee that you can both throw at kids in your local park while they run away screaming and also use the animal frisbee to play smooth jazz on when placed on a record player? I've tried hydraulic presses, running them over with my car, throwing manhole covers at them from large heights, melting them down and pouring them into a mold, yet I still can't get the quality stray animal record/frisbee I'm looking for. Anyhow, remember kids eat school, go to drugs, and don't do vegetables.

If they're able to look down at us, how can they be afraid, wielding such technology?

@@kwarlus he Is a brainwashed idiot. Never mind him

@@johnny2x459 why is he a "brainwashed idiot", moron?

Lol

What if we are the microbes and what we eat actually goes to the alien

Knowing absolutely nothing about this field won't stop me from speculating: it seems like it would have to be genetically programmed behavior where the release of a toxin barb unequivocally triggers the "search" movements. The organisms that didn't have this behavior sequence programmed wouldn't have made it this far evolutionarily. That hypothesis would be easy enough to test I should think.

@@clapdrix72 I completely agree maybe they’re programmed like a computer. “If (action) happens, do (action)” In this case, “If a cell is killed, look for the cell”.

@@clapdrix72 would be very interesting to see if after killing a cell the scientist were to remove the dead cell if it would ever realize it’s no longer there or just keep searching for it until it starves and dies

is the pay good?

@@Nonamelol. agreed but programmed by who ? ;)

Everybody gangsta until Someone Boiled Them alive

@@d.t.w1390 noooo... their adorable 😂

A friendly bar scene, 2 cells are playing darts, another is playing the piano, the bartender is waxing the bar. The door swings open. "Oh hi everyone, does anyone feel like playing a game of skewer each other with your hideous nightmarish tail thing?" Everyone in the bar groans: "Hey, dileptus....."

Lol

​@@d.t.w1390 uh oh

Great Alaska worms

Imagine a mad scientist, makes an invisible version of that, and then makes an army of them. And you're questioning him, and you say "WHY did you make them?!" and he says "I was pretty high, it seemed like a good idea at the time."

Giant bacteria and giant viruses: *laughs*

Alaskan bull worm

Yummy!

I would love a realistic remake

ya it does!

Ya know in all honesty the beginning stages could be used to help teach kids about those single cell organisms.

@@plantimator7270 Bionix is a mobile game that basically is spore but it's actual mirobes

? they are passing above or below each other not thru you spaz.....

@@chloedevereaux1801 Oh, I see. Makes sense I guess

@@piratespiggy5990 wow your biology class went into way more than mine...

Isn’t it more of an absorb and become? Than actually eat?

@@piratespiggy5990 my bio class: this is bone in arm, this is skull.. ur good to go this dude's class: well cells are super complex and these toxins and eating is called phagocytosis ...

@@personontheinternet6525 isnt that eating…

Let's just say your comment wins understatement of the year lol. The size of a single cell to the Milky Way still pales in comparison to the size of a human to the universe.

@@cjdabes I like the name "Wilky Way"

There are more stars out there than there are grains of sand on Earth. Now THAT is mind blowing.

@@FallNorth Truth is we don't know how many stars are out there, there could be an infinite number. In which case there are more stars out there than anything at all.

Are we talking about the dileptus or the OP?

RobertWF42 if it’s not a single cell organism it’s a....?

Joel Dilks it would become a multicellular organism then.

smh yall are so dumbbb its obviously a platypus

forever alone for the bacteria ;(

Except it’s not a bacteria , but a protist.

Shane, Great decision, I applaud you 👏! Tv can get a bit mind numbingly boring, even if you're watching stuff you love. With a microscope, it's difficult to get bored, because even if you get sick of looking at cellular life you can put the most random stuff under it and be blown away by what you see! I wish you years of happy viewing! 😉

Bruh I thought you said microwave

@@meeblings6 Bruh what's the point of buying expensive microwave, the cheap one work remotely same

yes there are some

You are correct.

They slip under

Hey Jordan, kindly send me an email to jam.and.germs@gmail.com. Thank you.

MegaZsolti Most microbes can sense concentrations of certain molecules, like toxins or energy sources. It's kinda comparable to our sense of smell if you would.

FFS, this guy is blind. Wat do you expect?

Its literally just a speck of dust thats barely alive, and you think it would be just like a human with a gun hunting deer?

@Arstotzka I expect nothing more than correct verbiage. This thing is incapable of hunting on any level.

Basically yes, that is what convergent evolution means.

Everything else is green too. It's probably just the color of dye or something

Those are symbiotic algae inside the cytoplasm.

Julieta Bernal science not understand you?

It moves proboscis random and ejects upon touch. Probably have chemical receptors that detect substances that are commonly secreted by prey as waste.
