Chameleons also change color when they see a predator. I worked at a pet store and whenever a chameloen spotted a snake it changed it's color quickly. Perhaps it makes them look more intimidating as they puff up too.

The fact that Wolverine has a healing factor that is strong enough to not only regenerate limbs but can also stop him from aging i imagine he'll be able to use his legs just fine after that explosion.

As a plumber I have had to lay down and work in colonies of spiders over a hundred spiders strong. I've also had a multitude of tarantulas crawling over me while camping during migration season. Never even bothered me a bit. But I can't imagine how horrifying this video was for people who are afraid of spiders. It even made me feel a little uncomfortable.

A fact is never false. The things you call false facts are not facts, they are falsehoods.

I think it was a mythbusters episode that explained the slow explosion walk. Its all about perspective. The actors are actually a safe distance from the explosion, but the angle of the camera along with some editing makes it look closer than it is.

Seeing as Wolverine has the ability to super heal, I'd think he could survive a fairly nearby explosion

When I was in high school ('81-'85), I had a job at my church that included sweeping up after weddings. When I started the job, I swept the rice so that no one would slip and fall on it. Everyone threw rice. Then people eventually started referring to the exploding pigeons thing and a few critics started telling me to be more thorough in my sweeping so pigeons wouldn't explode. That's when some people started throwing seed instead of rice at weddings. By '85, no one was throwing rice, and everyone was throwing seed. The total transition from rice to seed happened pretty quickly. Bad information spread quickly even before the internet.

Here's another fun fact about senses. Despite what you might think, you can't actually feel moisture. If you touch something moist, you feel the difference in texture and temperature, and certain combinations of this are interpreted by your brain as wet. That's why, when you wear rubber gloves and put them in water, it feels like your hand is wet, even though it isn't. Certain animals, such as some spiders, however, do have specific receptors that let them actually detect moisture.

I read a graphic novel adaptation of Frankenstein. One line: “I asked the humans for kindness, but they ignored me” really hit home for me

I knew a little about the effects of explosions because I wanted to learn more about the Home Front as a child (WW2, UK). Sometimes people were found deceased after a nearby bomb but with no physical marks or damage on them and they just looked incredibly peaceful. It was how the bombs sucked all the air out affected the human body. That and the "Sandwich Shelters" always stayed in my mind. What a brilliant video though again, never knew what direction it would take next 😊

An interesting point on the Frankenstein thing. Lots of people like to make the statement "Knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein was the name of the scientist, not the monster. Wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein actually was the real monster all along..." The problem with that being, if Shelly's intent was to write a story with a message of "often, humans are the real monsters, " then by modern standards of behavior, she failed. Hard. True, the creature is a hell of a lot more civilized and articulated than his popular modern depictions would have you believe, but if you actually read the original book, and actually *stop to think about* some of the crap he pulled, you quickly realize that the creature was *at least* just as monstrous as his creator was.

4:50 many fictional characters you could have picked from... and you pick the one with the super healing factor?

It isn't just milk producers that extolled milk; it was the United States government. From the USDA with its Food Guide Pyramid that had "Dairy" as a separate category, to it being part of WIC (low income food program), in the form of cheese.
Of course, the Food Guide Pyramid was heavily influenced by lobbies in general, which is why carbohydrates were at the bottom rather than vegetables. They were encouraged to do so by the wheat lobby.

If there were that many spiders that close to everyone’s beds, do you think we would ever have problems with bedbugs again?

7:31 Christ is the God of Christianity (via the Trinity)
And Robin (#4 Damien Wayne) actually is the son of Batman.

Rabbits tend to like carrots as they have significant sugar content for veggie side, and rabbits have a sweet tooth. This actually increases why you should limit carrots for bunnies as too much sugar is very bad for them, too. Give them the leafy greens, and probably some pellets, and a piece of banana or strawberry for a quick sweet treat. Bunny will love it.

Correction: Robin is the son of Batman. Damian Wayne is Bruce Wayne's only biological son as there are 3 more predecessors as Robin all whom which were adopted by Bruce. The first and most popular Robin is Dick Grayson who was adopted after his parents were killed during a circus performance.

Come on, its wolverine, he could totally withstand a blast like that. He's virtually invincible, and it looked cool

I don't know about the milk thing. I've drank milk since forever, gotten hurt plenty, never broke a bone, even when I should've. Even suffered a fall hitting around my eye-socket, and the doctor I saw was surprised I didn't break or fracture something. I even healed up in a less than a week, just the blood vessels in my eye took longer.
