What a jaw dropping I'll show myself out.

Petition to re-name the lake some sort of pun, like Lake Floyd.

[levmccor]

there's another pink water body in Aussie, excepts it's more of a pond. it's next to the west gate bridge

[physioweng]

The pink lake looks like a sweet strawberry juice lake where we can swim and sip on its scarlet aroma. Too bad it's actually salty and full of bacteria I've never heard of!

[Windkisssed]

ALWAYS interesting and worth watching!!!

[Starchface]

I think I'll go for a dip, even though I'm more of a salt-loving macrobe.

I heard the second story about the chewing this morning on NPR. An important thing left out of the SciShow reporting was that the participants did not have to swallow the raw meat. At least, that seemed important to me since my first thought on hearing that there were participants made to rip off chunks of raw goat was Ew...science.

what about the mystery ON WHY I HAVE HAIR AROUND MY

[BilgusO]

Sci show got this recognized...that's so cool!!

[Diceyed]

so its because of SciShow that the world solved a question.

[MrBobor]

It would be hilarious if they actually made a video about the hair on the human body and what purpose it serves on different spots (yes, even the rectum).

[DumbSkippy]

Well played, SciShow. Well played.

I saw a study that suggested that another contributing factor of smaller jaws was that when humans started to walk upright they also started to fight by punching.. at the face... and breaking jaws. Smaller jaw meant they were harder to break.

Look at SciShow, indirectly contributing to our body of scientific knowledge!

[FortuitusVideo]

"They found that, per calorie, meat does take less effort to chew than the veggies humans were probably eating at the time. "

Take that vegans!

it is the world's largest source of hubba bubba bubblegum flavouring.

Love when your videos mention Australia's quwerks. Not enough showcasing of Australia's unique environment and discoveries in science and space. But still a great channel none the less

[bringdowndoesthings]

We did it, guys! We actually made science happen instead of just reporting on it!

[FPB]

I remember watching that video when you guys uploaded it.
Can't believe I've been subscribed for such a long time already... How time flies.
