• From technology translating pet talk to
how far a snake can eat its own body, we answer some of your most burning questions about
life • Hey there, my name is Melissa, I'll be
reading out the questions and answers • I'm Danger Dolan and I'm here to blow
your mind with truth 10 – SacredSnewpee Could sloths could take
over the planet? • They’re already doing it, it’s happening
– everywhere you look, sloths are rising up to overthrow humanity, they’re just being
incredibly chill about it, taking their time, no rush, lots of naps between planning…. Mmm…. We should be afraid…. But…. It’s been a while… • Well, back before humans it was the biggest
or smartest dinosaurs that ruled the world, and the only reason humans became dominant
is because of our highly evolved brains – for sloths to take over, they would have to become
vastly stronger such as with the ancient extinct giant sloth, and exceed our own intelligence
which would take millions of years of evolution 9 – Connor Brown How & why did the stone
age happen? • This is back when our computers were built
from rocks and stones – all they could run was Windows 0.5 and it took AGES to do anything,
by the time you loaded up a single JPEG, we’d already moved into the bronze age, but things
weren’t much better… • The stone age started when humans began
using stone tools 2.5 million years ago in Africa, and went for a long time ending around
3300 BCE once humans began using bronze tools – it showed glimpses of intelligence from
our ancestors, and we even see apes today have entered the stone age themselves using
tools to their advantage • Agh, would you stop!? The dial-up isn’t working properly at the
moment – MELISSA, what’s the hold up? • What do you want me to do? It’s just a box with the word internet on
it • *
8 – Avital Berdichavski What was the first joke? • Knock knock
• Who’s there? • Dolan
• Dolan who? • … Danger Dolan
• The first recorded one came from Sumerians in 1900BC living in what is now known as Iraq:
“Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart
in her husband’s lap”. Yep, the first joke in history was a fart
joke. • Why did the chicken cross the road? • *sigh* why? • Because Danger Dolan told him to
• You’re not very good at this are you? • … Danger Dolan
7 – James Plummer Is it possible for technology to ever translate what animals say? • Not a good idea, can you imagine how complicated
everything would be if your pets had a say on how they were treated? • Um… so… you gave me 3 less biscuits
than last time, not exactly fair • Well, I didn’t realise so—
• I mean I understand you can’t take me for walks every 5 minutes, but just wondering
how you’d feel if I called the vet and told them, how malnourished I am… • Alright, alright, here take it… • Yeah was about to say you… like… a trump supporter or…? • What was that!? • No, nothing this food is great
• It actually is possible, and it’s already starting to happen – prairie dogs are very
social creatures and their language is complex, but we’re starting to crack the code. Dogs will also have brain-computer interface
software that can translate their thoughts directly into speech. • Hey Melissa, I’m not saying scratch
my fur or pat me or anything but… • *
• Who’s a good doggy? • Me. Is it me? It’s me, isn’t it? 6 – CrazyGamer3100 Is silence a sound? • This is easy to find out, everyone always
says if a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it whether it actually makes
a sound, so I put a tape recorder in the forest and there was no sound, so yes, silence is
a sound myth busted • Silence is just the absence of sound,
your ear is just a chamber that reverberates it, and the reason you hear ringing in your
ears when there’s no sound is because you’re hearing your own nervous system and blood
circulation – so you never truly hear utter silence
5 – justacommenter What would happen if the moon were cut in half? • It would be really, really upset – crying
all day and night so loud that everyone on Earth can hear it, wah wah wah, it hurts,
woe is me, I don’t like this – we’d all go nuts, so by the time the moon loses
gravity and hits the Earth, we’d welcome death just to get away from all its whining
• You’d be surprised to hear that nothing much would happen – the Moon is already
a loose collection of dry sand only held together by gravity, so at worst splitting it in two
may create a dust ring like Saturn has, but likely Earth’s tides would adapt and nothing
would change • The moon won’t – shut – uuuup – can’t
someone do something? • Uh… did she just fly to the moon? Am I supposed to just wait here… or? Uh… I got the script I guess… alrighty, let’s
do this 4 – If you have one eye, are you winking
or blinking? • Neither, you’re too busy trying to figure
out where your other eye went – okay… Melissa isn’t back yet… don’t… know… what… to… do… hmm
• It depends on what you’re intending – blinking happens automatically to clear
dirt and debris from the pupil, winking is a deliberate act to convey something social,
usually with an exaggerated movement • What took you so long? • Yeah it just needed to burp, it’ll be
alright • Did you check it’s diaper? • … I don’t wanna
3 – Zeeshan Usmani Can you run continuously for 2 hours without stopping? • No, your feet would burn away which is
a real shame because the shoes you were wearing were pretty expensive, like, $200 – you
can put a bandaid on your foot stump but money doesn’t grow on trees, there are kids in
Africa who could’ve eaten those shoes but you burnt them away, you’re so selfish
• You can, and people do it all the time, but only at a pace you’re comfortable with
so that you don’t get completely burnt out by the end – just make sure you’re well
fuelled and hydrated, that you’re eating well and you’re relatively fit, and it’s
certainly possible • Well it’s easy for you, you can fly! • Have you considered that maybe flying
is just as exhausting as running is for you? • I doubt that
2 – Noah Lovotti (Nolovoto) How far can a snake eat its own body? • All the way, every time you find an empty
snakeskin that means a snake finally managed to eat itself into oblivion, at which point
it will reappear in a different dimension as a completely new form of life – usually
a rock or something • A snake can eat about half its own body,
or at least until its stomach ends – but if it bites itself then it’ll very quickly
stop because it’ll realise what it’s trying to eat
1 – girlsim21 RBLOX What is the difference between a worm and an earthworm? • A worm is someone who wriggles through
dense crowds to get where he wants to go without bothering anyone or nudging anyone’s bags
– and earthworm is just a worm who is easy to get along with, he’s a down to earth
guy • You have two main classes of worm: red
wrigglers & earthworms – the wrigglers are generally found in compost bins and used as
fishing baits, earthworms are reddish brown and dig deep into dirt to find moist environments
when the surface is dry or cold • Oh, THOSE are the worms you meant, right,
yeah I have a bunch of those, this one is my favourite his name is wormface—
