the right amount of sleep do you ever wake up like this happy as this guy wake up and go you know it's stock footage josh stock foot is for a reason some people leap out of bed and have a good day i'm just like zombies are real true now no human has ever turned into a hungry zombie that were shown so much in the movies but they do exist in the animal kingdom a fungus that has a really long name i don't want to pronounce takes over ants with its chemicals make some k of themselves trying to pronounce it what's that cordyceps unilateralis there we go come on that was a gap it's got a shroom coming out of his head no it makes him top themselves it's kind of mental under the control of the fungus the ant leaves its family to find a very specific branch or leaf then it lets the fungus sprout out of it and release spores back into the world how delightful the largest living organism is the blue whale african elephant or shack myth while all of those are large the honey fungus in the blue mountains oregon wins by quite a bit with the length of 3.4 miles that's six and a half burj khalifa's end to end and it's still growing but on the bright side it's edible mushroom omelette anyone turkeys can blush true you got told that turkeys blush when excited angry or sick well that's kind of sweet actually the skin on their heads and necks can turn red so they get nervous they go red or even a shade of blue the fleshy flap of skin that hangs over their eyes is called a smooth such dangly penises on the front it looks like the ood from doctor who we only have five senses myth okay what else there's no right number some say 5 7 14 24 or even 57 our most basic senses are actually sight hearing smell taste and touch but also movement body position temperature balance and the sense of our internal state like feeling your heart for example close your eyes and touch your nose that's proprioception or body position do you know where our i had the top of nose is i missed it bats are blonde myth bats eyesight is actually better at nighttime than ours they just can't see as well in daytime because they only see in black and white this myth arose from the fact that bats use sonar to navigate with outside unicorns are real true oh they're not horses though it's deer that are likely the culprit a single horn can be a genetic anomaly found in some species it's not real it's just a well yeah that's not a unicorn that's a one-on-one that's a one-horned bloody antelope honey never spoils myth uncovered in a humid environment it will spoil as long as the lid stays on it and no water is added to it honey shouldn't go bad though i could do some honey and i'm pretty hungry this morning having anti-fungal and antibacterial properties means no organisms can live in it no matter how old your stored honey is it's probably perfectly edible oranges are always orange myth sweet oranges are a hybrid of tangerines and the pomelo with a bright green skin to help protect them from the sun is that called a green then yeah i was gonna say it was what came first the color or the fruit that's a good point what if green is really orange green has been orange well if you're drained my orange and white if you're orange is my green i've seen tick tocks about that recently i've dark baffles not that good it's true like the sky won't be red to me but if it's your blue yeah what you perceive as blue is different types of blue potentially that's why people have different favorite colors because they're just seeing completely different [ __ ] things yeah surely not i think wow who knows maybe we'll never know well surely there must be a test we can do no because it's because you'll see it though the way you see it is different and how you learn it's all different right so there's no way of actually telling no one else in the world may see things there may just be a simulation that tells you that they see things but they actually don't see anything now you're taking it too far i've not had my breakfast yet i'm not ready for this kind of day in warmer climates like southeast asia oranges are still a bright green when right makes you wonder what came first the fruit or the color what's going on in this video there are bugs in your strawberry frappuccino true but not anymore a dye made of ground up tiny insects called kachineo bugs is used by many companies

they'll leave you alone myth oh that okay well this works for bees their cousins the yellow jackets will disagree known as one of the most bad tempered ones they've been said to sting unprovoked even if you just happen to walk by their cats if you see wasps give them a wide birth i i've never been stung by a wasp so i've been stung by a yeah a b or a wasp but that makes me more scared because it's the fear of the unknown about you josh i've been stunned when you're feeling pretty awesome somewhere lost but not a b because a b suicides itself i'm not worth it for a bee i'm not aware i don't know what the bees like i feel bad if a bee stung me killed it the eiffel tower was supposed to be torn down after 20 years true the eiffel tower was designed to show off france's industrial power during the world's fair it was a temporary structure of a scaffolding it took us to build though the designers cleverly put transmitters and antennas on top to make the tower too useful to eventually demolish head lice prefer dirty hair myth lice don't really think about hair cleanliness they simply need human hair to hang on to whether it's squeaky clean or greasier than a fryer lice feed off of our scalp and the hair is just a place to hang out vibing if you go if you have life as a kid and you just shave your head off does that shave your hair off does that get rid of the lice probably i guess so yeah but unless they're sitting under hair follicles why aren't the nitty kids just shaving their heads because if they don't then like the whole the whole class and get like a week off school yeah but oh yeah i've [ __ ] held john i've got nits now like i've been human camel's humps store water myth camels don't store water they store fat in their tissues just like me after the holidays these reservoirs of fat allow camels to survive for days in the desert without stopping for food they drink large amounts of water at a time and store that in their bloodstream you need to drink eight glasses of water a day myth dude staying hydrated is critical especially in hotter weather but we seem to forget that every drink is mainly water even tea and coffee our bodies are the best indicators for when to drink water feel thirsty then it's time to have a drink i see i thought you had to drink try and drink like three liters a day even like even like food has drink in it as well right not drink food has water in it food food has water in it i get a coke that's water in it you have like yeah your coffee has water in it i've been trying to nail these like two liter s bottles for for what that's good that's good for you though he's good for you staying hydrated is good for you but you can be over hydrated as well an elephant never forgets true having the biggest brain of all land animals elephants should have a great memory and they do being able to remember their entire territory friends and spots to find water is crucial to the social structure of elephants they might even have a better memory than you and i now where did i leave my keys [ __ ] sake did you know that elephants think we're cute they think we like can't look after ourselves we're like babies did you know that uh so who asks elephant that no the way they behave they behave like with lovely towards us yeah yeah like we're like we don't know what we're doing maybe they're just really friendly creatures that's why it is they are really funny i love an elephant bananas grow upside down true bananas grow naturally towards the sun as they're getting larger that's why there's a curve so does that mean we've been peeling them the wrong way this whole time maybe maybe no number before 1000 contains the letter a true oh oh that's kind of mad 101 for the end [Music] 101 now you can try and spell each number out if you like but i bet you're just going to take my word for it yeah wait what about the answer weird yeah no that's a good point that is a good point is that it right 100
