Gotta love old, slightly awkward Hank. Thumbs up!

All comments will be like "The sun is a deadly laser" and replying "Not anymore there's a blanket".

[TJHyun]

Watching this in the middle of the winter to have a warm heart

[YCCCm]

Man. Scishow's come a long ways. Always inspirational to see the contrast.

[JusEd]

I never really noticed Olivia's tattoos. I like them. :)

[Eonz]

14:57 Hank you are so hilarious i love it xDDD

[lobaetoile]

There was one of these that I haven't watched before... The sun is amazing.

[ViraIshnia]

I got a chuckle from "wear sunscreen". I'm allergic to it so my choices are painful rash or avoid a long time in the sun

[SlyPearTree]

Hanks does not see the inspirational messages floating in the sky, poor Hank.

[shannaslight]

I love you Olivia. Haters be hatin'

[budmeister]

Damn, did Hank just get out of bed and realize he was late?

Here is a not-so-fun but related story, courtesy of Bigclive:
There was an event in a club of sorts. They had decked the place out with clear fluorescent lighting tubes that emitted a dim, actually pretty „clubbish“ light. Over the next few days, people started showing up at their doctors because of pain and itchiness their eyes, blurred vision, and in some cases redness and inflammation of their skin.
Long story short: the club owner had (unknowingly...he just did not seem to know better) bought a truckload of UV-C tubes to light his venue. It gave a buch of people sunburns and „welders‘ flash“, which is basically a bad sunburn to the back of the eye.

speaking of relaxed, I am genuinely appreciative of the glasses and wrinkled shirt look. I don't know why, but it makes me feel at ease.

[brthmarked]

Could you do a vid on why our brain makes up scary things on a dark room / scary topic???? Thanks! Love your videos!

[mcblaze]

Why is it when I eat garlic the smell stays with me for ages even after brushing teeth but my partner can eat garlic and 10 mins later the smell is

[ryank]

Scots can't get a tan, but we can get sunburn!

[mnvore]

Why am I watching this in February? Oh well, good to know. I'll try to remember it all later.

[wpd]

good to know the sun isn't a one and done star, Hank.

[James-wlwi]

lasttime I was this early hank had a beard (and a hoodie)

[mysteepulcine]

Hank had such a cute spare tire in the first clip! I wish he still wore that shirt, it's great. I am glad though that he changed his tamber to be more matter of fact. he's always been a bit condescending in these earlier videos.
