Thank you so much for your time and effort in making these videos. I am a poor, sad, 32 year old boy and I always look forward to these videos. I don't have a significant other, money, or happiness to watch your videos and it's a relief to have something like this in our modern day society. Thank you John.

are we gonna skip over the fact that JMG said he'll NEVER RETIRE?! we have vids lined up for decades!

This series is a secret treasure of not just Youtube but honestly the internet on the whole.

Ant 1: "That bee got me!" Ant 2: "How bad?" Ant 1: "Not bad, they only winged me"

i hope theres a cyborg JMG with a glowing red eye still telling me about scientific discoveries when im in the 2070s

[cherryspades]

I really appreciate that you don't use clickbait

[jamesdreads]

I dont think you know how significant it is to hear "I will never retire". This made my year

Thanks John! I finally got hit by COVID and even with Paxlovid I've been sleeping a lot. Your voice is extremely soothing and comforting to fall asleep to. Thank you.

"What did you do today?" "I tortured some moss."

gonna start a drinking game: take a shot every time you hear "researchers in china"

I love the space cloud info, it honestly makes a bit of sense that something “weird” happened to our very distant homies the homis.

I'm absolutely loving these scientific discovery recap videos.

I was just remarking about ants on the golf course. Ok John, do a deep dive about ants.

@John - actually, there's a bunch of nuclear reactor designs that have been around since the 90s that take acts of sabotage to cause a meltdown and it's not just PBRs (which were being tested in the 90s as well). One design I remember was of a design that used neutral buoyancy to have a borated water pool below the reactor. As the regular water boiled off, the borated water would flow over the reactor and shutdown the reaction. Gen 3 designs were being worked on the 90s, Gen 4 designs were being worked on in the '00s and early '10s. Gen 5 designs are being looked at now (which SMR is one potential Gen 5 design).

Just learned about the Argentine ant super colonies constantly at war in San Diego county (speaking of ant antagonists) that’s an interesting rabbit hole.

"Moss that can survive on mars."
Hey I've seen this one before, it's a classic! Just get me the military robot locked into combat mode!

17:12 - Great Filter, or Great Catalyst?

We have had meltdown proof reactors running in the us prior to todays PLW reactors. Molten Salt reactors are the future and we need to build them.

A meltdown proof nuclear reactor makes me think of a certain unsinkable ship. Dealing in absolutes is a risky game.
