Simon & Co., I absolutely love this. This 'did you know' stuff has been my favourite since I was just a kid. I am 51 in a week and still find it properly fascinating! Thanks a million for this. More please!

I love how we managed to solve 2 big ancient construction secrets in one year. We figured out what made the great wall's mortar so good, and we also figured out why Roman concrete is so damn durable. Romans put volcanic ash in their concrete, Chinese put rice water in theirs; I'm digging the regional resource utilization.

This is my favorite type of upload, time to learn!

The craziest thing about the butterfly turning to soup during metamorphosis is that as a butterfly it retains memories from before it went into the cocoon. I don’t remember if researches used electric shock, heat, some form of light, or something else, but researchers trained caterpillars to learn and respond to know some action would lead to some uncomfortable outcome and when they put these caterpillars through the same situation when they became butterflies they responded by avoiding the unpleasant outcome. They have repeated this enough to conclude the information they learned as a caterpillar remained with them through the cocoon soup and all. Crazy

The only scientific fact that would surprise me is if Simon would confess he's a Lizard Overlord.

Love how the YT ad cuts through the "don't try this at home" statement. Like YouTube wants people to swallow liquid nitrogen

Imaginal Discs sound like some sorta MCU MacGuffin

I love cuttlefish so freaking much. I call them Cthulhufish because they look like my boi. The aquarium near me has some on display in a very convenient place for them to watch Tourist TV.

I love interacting with them! I make different motions with my hands, I offer different colors if I have any on me. I try not to make them turn red. There's usually one or two bored Cthulhufish who'll play with me.

They are the absolute best squiddy friends!

A sloth’s grip sounds like a truck’s air brakes.

So... ironically, the narwhals with two horns are figurative unicorns😂

I think my dog has figured out mirrors. He is reactive to other dogs. The first time he saw one he barked at his reflection. But subsequently he has gotten chill and has no real interest in mirrors and just walks passed them.

Speaking of eyes... your eyes absolutely see the flickering of of your light as it turns on and off with alternating current. Your brain cancels out the flicker effect. But your eyes see the flicker.

“You can be fully conscious during brain surgery.” My stomach: instantly turns inside out.

i had a dog that passed the mirror test, he would stop and admire himself at any mirror he passed. i think he figured it out because once i was in the mirror too. he was an exceptionally smart dog.

At first I thought this might be another compilation, but then I saw which of his 400 channels it was and I figured it wouldn't be.

I love these long facts videos. Sometimes it may take me more that one sitting to watch the whole thing, I do always come back and finish the vid.
