- This world is so weird you
know we had to do a part two. In part one of this little series we talked about some really weird stuff. A lot of you were like
wow wee wow wow Matt, I bet you can't tell us
anymore fact that are weirder. Well you're about to find
out that yes, yes I can. These are facts that
you did not want to know but you're here so you're about to. Here are 10 disturbing facts you didn't want to know part two. Number 10 is Odori-Don. Just because something is on your plate doesn't mean that it's going to sit still while you consume it. Also known as dancing squid rice bowl, Odori-Don is a Japanese
dish that's consumed while it's still moving. Okay augh. It consist of very fresh squid sitting on top of either rice or noodles, with salmon eggs and other
toppings as well as seasonings. When soy sauce is poured
on top of the dish the sodium in it causes
the muscles in the squid to react firing in a
way that makes it seem like the animal is alive
and flailing or dancing. Let's keep going. In fact, the reaction can be so strong that often the squid
escapes smacking the bowl so hard that it falls right off. On occasion the squid can suddenly spring right off the table. Good luck eating raw
seafood off the floor. Although, really would
that be that much nastier than just eating this off the plate? Number nine is black ivory coffee. One of the world's most expensive coffees is often avoided not
just for its price tag but for how it's made or more specifically how the beans used to
make it are processed. Produced by the black ivory
coffee company limited in northern Thailand, black ivory coffee is a delicacy enjoyed by those with means, but even those who can afford
it may want to think twice about buying a cup
because black ivory coffee is made from arabica coffee beans that are consumed by elephants, digested and deposited with their waste. Every bean has traveled
through the elephant altered by the animal's digestive enzymes and pooped out. With less proteins, the coffee is said to to be very smooth and
also tastes less bitter than regular coffee, but you know it's still poop beans. Think about that next
time you have your dirty mud water in the morning. Number eight is that cockroaches
live past decapitation. Cockroaches are some
pretty tough critters, so tough in fact that
they can quite literally, lose their head and keep on ticking. Sort of speak. Believe it or not, these insects can survive a long time after being decapitated. Unlike human beings, cockroaches don't need their mouths or heads for that matter to breathe, instead, using tiny holes
in each body segment none of which require a
brain to control them. Roaches have an open circulatory system. They don't have a network
of veins, blood vessels or for that matter blood
pressure like we do. So blood loss from losing their heads won't kill them either. What eventually kills the headless insect is actually starvation as they have no way of consuming food. But that can actually even take weeks. They can also survive nuclear blasts. Seriously, these things are god's mistake. Number seven, is bull sharks
can adapt to freshwater. If you love to swim but are
afraid of doing so in the ocean due to the risk of
being attacked by sharks then you may want to be
restricting yourself to swimming in pools from now on exclusively. That's because bull sharks can actually adapt to survive in fresh water. Through osmo regulation, which is the ability to
maintain an amount of water inside the body, these creatures aren't limited
to the salt water of the sea. Bull sharks have even been
found in the amazon river Lake Nicaragua and the Mississippi River. And if that doesn't scare you enough they've even been spotted
swimming around in Lake Michigan. the kidneys of the bull
shark can over time, even adapt to remove less
saline from the water that the animals take in, meaning that they can
live their entire lives in fresh water lakes and rivers. Oh thinking of going
for a swim with the fam, go for it. Never know. Might just meet
a nice little bull shark. Ah ah. Number six, is recycled cooking oil. I feel like after a lot of
these y'all are just gonna stop eating entirely. In 2013, a video documentary was released that revealed the lengths
that some restaurant owners in China were going to in
order to be able to cook their food on a smaller budget. Disgustingly, these methods included acquiring gutter oil which is just as gross as it sounds. Even though it's illegal not to mention incredibly unsanitary, some restaurants prepare their dishes with a cooking oil made
from rotten animal fat. Slaughterhouse scraps or the recycled oil from
other establishments. By the way the latter of which is often literally collected from the sewer. The Chinese government has
been trying to shut down this practice for several years but it continues, with many restaurant owners going as far as to camp outside another restaurant waiting for them to dump their used up oil so that they can cook their food in it. But in case you're thinking oh Matt, but this is exclusive to China. I live in the United States. Yeah some restaurants in North America also do this practice but they
just haven't been caught yet. Enjoy your next restaurant outing. Number five, is that
there are ancient viruses trapped in ice. From the time we started developing inside our mothers, we've been
developing antibodies, tiny proteins that protect
us against viruses, as well as other horrible things. However, what if there
were old viruses waking up out there that we have
absolutely no protection from as nobody's been exposed
to them for generations. Well guess what? There are. In fact there are viruses out there that have never even come into
contact with human beings. With climate change
helping to melt ancient ice ancient viruses inside the
ice are becoming exposed. Studies are already being
conducted looking into what's going to happen when humans
come into contact with them. It could mean everything
form the next epidemic to as unlikely as it seems, a global extinction. So the next time it's freezing out, and you get a nice arctic wind in the face just be aware that you
might be inhaling some num num super Ebola virus. Number four, are that
some tumors grow teeth. Uhum, yup. Medical science is full
of baffling phenomena but few are as crazy as having teeth form anywhere outside of your mouth. Imagine being a surgeon and removing a tumor from a patient only to find it's smiling up at you with a number of fully formed teeth. Yup, this scenario really happens. Teratomas are tumors that have developed inside the human body from
the same types of cells that teeth are created from. But incredibly, teeth aren't the only things that can grow in a tumor, as they can contain hair, organs or even brain matter as well. And if that isn't enough to unsettle you, consider this, teratomas can
grow tiny hands and feet. Plus since 1850, there have
been 70 documented cases of a tumor growing eyeballs. You can literally have
part of a person growing inside you right now. Number three is gamma ray death. Far out in the reaches of outer space the chain reaction that ends your life may have already begun. That's right, sleep well tonight. Our precious ozone layer
protects us from gamma rays. Those super powerful cosmic
electro magnetic waves, that would destroy us in seconds, without that protection. But when those gamma rays
are extremely focused, and happen to hit the planet, they have the potential to
obliterate all life on it. A star going supernova even
a thousand light years away from us could single handedly
erase humanity from existence. Basically, a gamma ray
burst could be headed for earth right now. And no matter what types
of detection equipment or protection that we have, we wouldn't know of its existence until after we were dead. Mommy, mommy look at that bright light. Number two, our pet shelter numbers. Every year in the United States alone over 7.6 million pets are
brought into animal shelters as either strays or by
owners who can no longer support having them in their homes. Of those pets, around 3.4 million are cats and 3.9 million are dogs. Shockingly over 1.4 million cats and over 1.2 million dogs
are euthanized annually. That's more than 2.6 million
animals losing their lives in pet shelters across just America alone. And only 10% of those pets
received by these institutions are spayed or neutered which results in the animal population growing out of control and thus the need for even more euthanizing. This was one is obviously
a little more serious but really the next time you're
looking for a furry little companion consider adopting from a shelter and of course as Bob Barker used to say, get your pets spayed or neutered. You know because they're
just constantly humping. We really need to stop that. And number one, are more
slaves today than ever before. Huh, what? Yeah. In 2012, the United
States State Department estimated that there
were 27 million people in slavery on our planet, not including bonded labor, still today. And believe it or not
this is actually more than twice as many as those kidnapped and taken from West Africa during the Trans Atlantic slave trade, between the 16th and 18th centuries. There are literally more slaves today than ever before in human history. Some of those people are trapped working off a large debt of some kind with an interest rate so high and being paid wages so low, that it will never be feasibly paid off. Then there are others
being forced into servitude against their will. They're exploited for labor, paid nothing give only the bear essentials to survive and their country's
governments will do nothing to effectively free them. I mean you probably didn't want to hear that fact but, it's
important so now you know. (soft jazz music)
