what are the sources for the shark attack statistics you mentioned. because i can find posts from reddit and twitter claiming the same thing but no source linked
In Amerika there is a emergency release in the trunk. No here in Europe. But check your Porsche. 😅
I actually broken my clavicle as well, within 2 months of Simon. Anyway, Titanium is non Ferrous, and is also not magnetic. I actually had an MRI after the surgery, and no probs whatsoever.
There was the famous case of the kid who sat on an M-80 in a chair when it blew up!
While not fatal, he DID cause enough trauma to his testicles to effectively remove himself from the gene pool.
So no, you don't have to die to get a Darwin Award!
Getting a deliberate vasectomy, especially after already having had kids, is the opposite of stupid and irresponsible. Good on you, Simon! No Darwin Award for you, just sincere respect.
Former MRI center lead scientist here: The electromagnet in MRI machines are always on. They are only turned off in instances such as earthquaked and fires. This is why cleaning equipment and tools are commonly pulled into MRIs at dangerous speeds when workers enter after hours thinking the machine is off.
The pull of the magnetic field gets a lot stronger as you get closer so in this and similar cases it’s not the scanner “starting” but getting too close. Turning an MRI on does cause a lot of radio waves to be produced in rapidly changing ways. This leads to some of the loud noises.
To shut off an MRI’s magnet you either directly vent the coolant such as liquid helium directly or cause the safety system to release it upon removing power. The electromagnets in an MRI only can work at very cold temperatures. This is know as a Quench. In some cases the liquid coolant that quickly turns into gas doesn’t vent out of the building properly so some or all of the coolant gas get released into the MRI room or attached equipment rooms. This can lead not only to suffocation and cold related damage, but also the buildup of gas can cause the door(s) to become pressure locked if they swing inward. This is why it’s now required in the US that all MRI rooms to either have a door that opens outward or special panels in the walls that automatically blow out when there’s a pressure buildup. However this wasn’t always the case. Early in my career I worked in a research center where they had yet to retrofit one of the MRI rooms, so as a temporary measure there was a baseball bat kept by the observation window between the MRI room and the control room where the MRI operator works. This bat was labeled “In Case of Quench Break Glass” and was meant to be used as indicated.
That's pretty frigging fascinating! Especially the bat....reminds me of the early days of the nuclear program, when the term "scram" came into being. They had a guy standing there with an ax, ready to cut the rope & thus get the control rods out of the dangerous configuration so the reaction would stop. "SCRAM" stands for "Safety Control Rod Ax Man." Ahhh....high tech.
Interesting thanks for the info !
Also, MRIs don't cause xrays. They use the radio waves to "push" the nuclear spin of hydrogen "upside-down" and it measures how long it takes the hydrogen to right itself. The different times of righting mean the hydrogen is in different environments. So you can infer what's going on in the different body parts based on the time.
Aren't doors always supposed to open towards the nearest exit anyway to avoid crowds accidentally holding the door shut in case of emergency?
@@zorbl8463 I pray that they made that a requirement for all public buildings....I grew up in Cincinnati, & in 1979, 11 people were crushed to death trying to get in the Who concert (the doors all opened outward). After that there was much talk all over the country about making public ingress/egress safer. But I have a horrible feeling that corporate profits triumphed over safety.
Edit; actually, if we wanted to completely cover every situation, doors in public places would have to readily open inward AND outward. Dunno what that'd do to lockability (to coin a word).
Honestly, chat gpt contending with Simon's winding questions are some of the most compelling demonstrations of AI out there.
Yep, this show is my only exposure to Chat GPT and I'm seriously impressed.
Only ask questions of chat GPT that will give a good impression humanity.
Did he interrupt it?? Does he have Gpt-4o already?
That is SO true!
Oh wow! AI can do wonders and cut through tangents! And I ADORE that Simon tangents on even in his questions! 💕
"Way past stupid into the category of 'Floridian'." -- This is why we're here.
Funny gun story:
Worked at a big box home improvement store. Was down at the pro desk one day when a woman wearing a glock on her hip walked by, herding what i assume were grandkids.
A true "good ol boy" at the desk watched her go by, then deadpanned to me "damn, how the hell mean are them kids?"
I nearly peed trying not to laugh.
To be fair the rusty pliers may have had nothing to do with it. Removing the tooth doesn’t necessarily mean removing the infection causing the tooth ache. He could have had an abscess from the cavity and died from that. (Yes. Your tooth ache can kill you. So can your sore throat. Welcome to the realization that humans are part of the food chain and it’s hard to kill bacteria with a gun.)
And the bacteria under our gums are extremely nasty too. I'd be far more worried about them than whatever is hanging out on rust.
And dental abscesses are notorious for progressing to endo/pericarditis in the heart
Tell me about it! My first major dental procedure was to remove a wisdom tooth. They had to shave the bone as well. Fully hygienic and everything. I got a raging infection within 12 hours and two massive abscesses. They said expect pain and swelling - which I had and thought was normal. Went back on the third day after and was told to get to emergency asap.
I stayed in emergency for 24 hours, had to go to a different hospital for two surgeries and spent a week in hospital. It was absolutely horrendous.
@@andreagriffiths3512eek! That sounds terrible! I hope you managed a full recovery. ❤
@@lauramanuel7619 yup, a year on and it’s all good. I still need two more out but I’m not going to be doing that unless absolutely necessary or until I pay off my prepaid funeral which will be the end of next year. But more likely that hell will freeze over before I go back to the dentist.
I had the snip last year. I was attended to by a female surgeon and female. It all went smoothly, and they chatted happily about day to day stuff while snipping. When finished, I was given a lollipop for being such a good boy.
When you say it like that, it kind of sounds perverted...😅
At 12 I had a full body X-ray and the nurse put the lead cup protector on my DnB. I consider it my first hand job.
I also had a vasectomy and it was literally easier than most of my dentist appointments
Cool
Such a good boy! The best boy, infact!
I worked doing instrument repair for Hospitals.
While in training, we were shown a short video of an MRI machine 'ingesting' a floor-buffer.
The buffer was a full 10 feet away, on the other side of some dry-wall.
It was over in a split second; torn up and folded metal stuffed into the 'tunnel' of the MRI.
The video was made in an attempt to re-create a fatal accident.
Did you know that Janitors and service personnel weren't being briefed about magnetic fields?
Another accident involved a rolling tool-chest getting sucked in a tunnel.
Wow. WOW, not training the people turned loose with METAL-using tools?!
There was apparently a fairly recent lawsuit because someone went for an MRI wearing a buttplug the manufacturer said had no metal in it.
@@EShirako It was outside contractors that didn't receive any kind of briefing; brought in their tool-chest.
The '30 foot rule' for steel was still be argued at the time...Hospitals hated the idea of empty rooms surrounding the MRI.
Every square foot in a Hospital is a potential 'money maker'; closing off rooms meant millions in lost revenue over the life of the MRI machine.
@pirobot668beta ah yes glorious capitalism smh
@@malcolmdarke5299 I have stopped questioning why people run around with buttplugs
What you described was a CAT scan, simon. An MRI uses super powerful magnets to cause the hydrogen atoms in your body to emit an RF (radio frequency) emission in resonance with the frequency of the electromagnetic field generated by the magnets. The scanner has an antenna that receives those frequencies and the image is generated by the way the signal arrives, with different tissues having different characteristics.
I still don't know how anyone could take a gun into an MRI. I've had a few and I had to remove all jewellery and wear one of those flimsy hospital gowns. No way was I hiding a gun.
@MsMaryPatricia Former intelligence officers take them everywhere.....for obvious reasons...
Also: for all we know, MRI has no physiological side effects and (in contrast with CAT scans and other x-ray images) does not involve exposure to ionizing radiation.
@@MsMaryPatricia Yes, I also had to take my bra off because of the metal hooks.
Super powerful magnets would not react in any way to a big lump of metal like a gun?
old fridges and freezers didn’t just use magnets to hold their doors shut, they had mechanical latches that were pretty strong. Kids getting locked in old fridges and dying is why a lot of places still require you to remove the door from a fridge when discarding it. While any fridge from the last several decades won’t latch shut, there’s still a fair number of old ones out there.
Yes, I remember stories of kids locking themselves in discarded freezers and die. I am born in the 70s though, when landfills with freezers weren't a thing anymore in germany.
@@oldfrittenfett1276 In the US it really depends on where you live. In rural areas, appliances will still end up in the dump (or rotting in someone’s yard, but that’s another story). Most urban areas have appliance recycling programs. Regardless, though, everyone is supposed to take the doors off them.
And that's the reason why so many 80s and early 90s TV shows had a "refrigerator episode". Perhaps there were too in series before that, but I'm too young and too non-american to have picked even reruns of them.
@@jorgelotr3752 Ah yes, the infamous Special Episode. I think Punky Brewster was like fifty percent Special Episodes by the end. Not just fridge related, I hasten to add.
There's a movie called "ladybug, ladybug" that ends with a little girl getting in one because the kids think nukes are gonna drop, another kid is running and looking for her....and runs right by...😢
As someone who works with MRI machines every day- titanium is perfectly safe, BUT it can distort the image and we need to do some extra protocols, so it’s good to still always mention it anyway, that way you don’t have to spend even longer in there while they redo image sequences.
Any metal that a surgeon didn’t put in your body on purpose, though, is sus. And electronics are a whole other story. You can’t even go near one without a bunch of extra safety screenings if you have a pacemaker.
Do you know how they make the headphones work? At least with mine, they gave me over ear headphones and blasted music to drown out the noise/keep me calm
@@brackencloud I wondered the same thing after my last MRI!
@@brackencloudpiezoelectric headphones. They don’t use magnets like normal headphones. Generally the quality isn’t as good but you’re not trying for a full audiophile grade experience.
What about stents in your brain and heart? Should I mention them?
@@topsyfulwellyou should mention literally anything
A prisoner here in Arizona was taken for an MRI. The technician told the guard he didn’t need to remove the prisoner’s shackles for the scan, nor did he need to remove his gun. Both the guard and the prisoner were immediately sucked up against the machine. To make matters worse, instead of hitting the big red emergency off button, the technician spent more than 15 minutes trying to call the supervisor to ask what she should do. The prisoner was badly and permanently injured, with the shackles cutting into her torso, wrists and ankles. She has filed a lawsuit against the Arizona DOC and the MRI center.
WTF? That person should not have been operating the MRI.
@@simbriant Turns out the company who owns the MRI center and operated numerous locations here for years, wasn’t even certified by the State until a month ago.
I had a patient who was a machinist and needed an MRI. Neither of us realized that she had hundreds of tiny slivers of metal imbedded in her forearms. When they turned on the magnet, they all suddenly came out of her skin. They were very superficial so it didn't do any significant damage, but the amount of blood was pretty alarming.
I don't find that surprising at all now that I think about it, especially a female generally having less arm hair and softer skin.
Also, what could be done about that?
@@retsaMinnavoiG I honestly don't know. I never had it come up again.
That is absolutely horrifying. I'm glad the woman was okay though. 😢
Sperm extraction with a needle is one of the methods for IVF if someone has had a vasectomy and decides to have children.
Has to be from the epididymis, not the testis itself.
Pre-1970s refrigerators didn't just close tight, they had mechanical latches that could only be opened from the outside. Very dangerous for people who aren't smart enough not to climb into one if the door swings shut on them (particularly small children - very tragic).
Same reason as for why we do have those internal release mechanisms in car boots nowadays.
"Don't go to the hospital with a gun." Most medical establishments have signs posted clearly forbidding firearms on the premises. There's a reason for these policies. We can just hope that the only people who get hurt when violating the policy are the people violating the policy and not innocent bystanders.
Does remind me of the woman who had a gun in her purse when she took her toddler with her to Walmart. In the checkout line, the toddler was rummaging in her purse while she dealt with the items in the cart. The gun discharged and she (the gun owner, not the toddler) was killed. I imagine the toddler needed therapy later in life. I'm not glad the woman died, but it is nice that no one else was hurt.
Sounds like Terry didn't lose his balls so much as he roasted his nuts.
Big problem though: nobody reads the fucking signs 😂
@@Latenightloner Yep. Or they think the policy doesn't apply to *them* because freedumb.
"Most medical establishments have signs posted clearly forbidding firearms on the premises"..... tell me you're American without telling me you're American my guy 😂
No, that's NOT NORMAL in the rest of the world!!
"Most medical establishments have signs posted clearly forbidding firearms on the premises".... tell me you're American without telling me you're American 😂

@@cheekyb71 I wish it weren't normal in the US, either, but here were are.
Ahh, yes, my favorite Johnny Cash song, "Don't Take Your Guns to an MRI". Tragic, but classic.

ICU nurse here. Sepsis is a systemic bacterial infection, including your blood, not blood poisoning.
"Septicaemia is when bacteria enter the bloodstream and cause blood poisoning. This can trigger sepsis, but sepsis can also come from other infections." According to some medical sites. So I guess blood poisoning can lead to sepsis? Is that the difference...?
@@amemooress6291 read the quote you posted and what the person said. septicaemia is a bacterial infection of the blood. this can trigger sepsis, a reaction by your body to a systemic infection. sepsis is the reaction your body has that can kill you. sepsis can happen with any infection, not just in your blood. septicaemia is "blood poisoning", they are the same thing - an infection of your blood.
Another ICU nurse here:
Sepsis , also known as septicemia, is a complication of a bacterial infection that gets into a patient's blood stream. It causes low blood pressure and alters severely the amount of blood that gets to the patient's vital organs. If treated very early and aggressively with the proper medications the patient can survive. Since sepsis can progress VERY rapidly, even a few hours delay in treatment can cause it to be fatal, despite proper treatment, because of irreversible damage to the patient's vital organs. When a patient is suspected of having sepsis,they come to the ICU,which is how we know so much about it .
Sepsis is not the same as blood poisoning, which is a lay man's term for lymphatic infections. Lymphatic poisoning however, CAN progress to sepsis if left untreated because the lymphatic system drains into the blood system.
@@amemooress6291
Correct. You are right. See my previous post. Wherever it comes from the the bacteria has to get into the blood stream to cause sepsis. Could be a cut on the toe, could be a kidney infection, etc. It also depends on which bacteria is involved.
Either way things in my blood that should not be in my blood sounds 🤮🤮🤮

A few fun bits about the nMRI is that the lower case N I just used is not a typo. Developed -for remote study of stellar objects,- it was later adopted for medical imaging but people had unwarranted fears about the the first word in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging and thought the machines were chernobyl rather than just vibrating atomic nuclei with magnets.
It was never for remote study at all, nevermind of stellar objects - magnetic fields are not good for distance, and you need dense magnetic fields to get a good response from NMRI. It is nuclear because it induces resonance in the *nucleus* of hydrogen atoms, and using slight differences in the resonances observed, it can be determined what molecules the hydrogen is part of, and how they are moving, which allows you to non-invasively create an internal model of any biological and many non-biological objects.
The original usage lacked the Imaging part, and so was just NMR, but this was used by chemists to identify and characterise substances, not astronomers.
@@iskierka8399 Thanks, you are correct.
My dad worked with NMR, from the 1970's until his retirement, in the Chemistry department of UC San Diego. He was mostly responsible for the maintenance of the NMR machines that everyone in the department used, & boy were those powerful magnets finicky & hard to manage. To this day, I still start to call the medical imaging NMR imaging before I remember that they dropped the N because of some people's fear of the nuclei of all atoms due to the dangerous radiation released by the nuclei of some unstable atoms.
@@starrywizdomThat's interesting! I used NMRs as a chemistry student at UCSD in the mid-1970s. I never met any of the support staff but I feel retroactively grateful to them. Those were finicky machines.
So you can’t bring your gun into a hospital because they’ve already got nukes in there? What a world.
While my wife was going to school as an xray tech she had to intern at hospitals. One of the times interning she was told awhile back another student brought a patient in the mri room that had a (steel) oxygen tank. When the machine fired up the tank got sucked in and killed the patient.
Was warned about this when I worked in the ICU. Protocols rapidly changed and all oxygen tanks utilized in MRI rooms had to be chained to the beds and extension tubing used to keep the tanks at a safer distance. Eventually shielded oxygen supply was provided to all MRI suites and all we had to do was switch the tubing over to the shielded supply. I used to just HATE taking our critically ill patients to MRIs. So much equipment necessary for the patient's survival had to be switched over to special MRI equipment for the tests. So tedious and scary too. I'm sure they've changed all this since I retired.
There was a case where a 6 year old child was killed due to an oxygen tank being taken into an MRI suite.
To whichever kidnapped college student in Simon's basement that edited this video: ...... you're amazing and I laughed my ass off.
(Good stuff, Julian. Good stuff.)

I used to be an armed guard at a hospital. occasionally we would be requested to accompany a patient and nurse to do various things, like x-ray or MRI. The nurses were often pretty concerned with the MRI because I had to stay pretty far out of reach due to the magnetism from the machine. never had anything happen in those moments though.
"MRIs take little slices of X-rays"
Actually, MRIs do not involve radiation. Rather, it images the energy signature given off by the hydrogen in your body when the magnetic field is shifted, hence the term "magnetic resonance"
CAT (CT) scans are actually the "lots of X-rays", as they essentially give you 500ish thinly-sliced X-rays at once.
"Just don't take guns to hospitals" says Simon demonstrating that he does not understand the American experience.
Where’s Danny been? Haven’t heard a script from him in a while
Ssssshhhh... Maybe he's escaped the writers' chamber under the desk.
YANNO
The basement denizens got too hungry, and they had to sacrifice of of their own for the survival of the others.
He's written scripts for Factboi's other channels, most recently Casual Criminalist and Decoding the Unknown
I think he forgot to feed him and is just hoping we will forget about him if he doesn’t mention him long enough
On the "just go to the dentist" thing, Simon, you've been out of the UK for a very long time if you don't know how difficult it actually is right now to find an NHS dentist, never mind get to see one, all thanks to government underfunding of NHS services (to push their US-style health insurance wet dreams), Mr. Pliers man was doing DIY dentistry because of this, people are getting desperate for dental care, but can't get it, so it's either visit casualty and get sent home with painkillers, sit around waiting to die from a rotten tooth poisoning the blood, or removing your own teeth, because one of the allegedly "richest nations" cannot be bothered to fund tooth care...
Yeah. Cold War over, modern weapons not needing a big army, so why should they care of our health?
Besides, American health care is rich enough to line any politicians pocket.
Yup. No nhs dentist anymore
Anyhow.
That's rough, Canada doesn't cover Dental either though. So our Politicians seem to think it's okay to live life without teeth or with very strong tooth pain.
"Helping those in need or profiting off of other peoples suffering?"
Goverments: I'll take option 2.
Who is editing this video? You are the G.O.A.T. when you slipped in the Ying Yang twins when Simon was bending over. Excellence, LMFAO for real out loud!!
11:15 'MURICA is the only place where someone would refuse to remove their gun for a medical procedure. Never mind the powerful MRI magnet part, just the point of not even removing your gun when taking a medical exam is insane.
It was Brazil
Well, the case most commonly mentioned in videos was in the US. And I'pretty sure most of the cases were in the US.
09:10 That is a CAT scan. An MRI relies on nuclear magnetic resonance (in hydrogen IIRC) not x-rays.
It's not CAT scan, it's CT scan... it's just pronounced like "cat" for short.
First Google result, haven't looked further yet:"CT stands for computerized tomography and CAT stands for computerized axial tomography."
@@GhostWatcher2024 I studied this at university (although that was some years ago) and it was called a CAT scan. Or rather it was one type of CAT scan, I think it was alternatively (informally?) called something like x-ray tomography as there are other types of tomography that do not use x-rays. I think a PET scan (positron emission tomography) was also counted as a type of CAT scan, although at the time x-ray tomography was more common.
No idea about current tech, I am in aviation not medicine. Still use a lot of my knowledge of electro-magnetic imaging when teaching how radars and radio navigation instruments work.
“No more rusty pliers for home operations” we need BB rules too 😂
Add..."how about we don't take guns to hospitals'
Okay, the line "This isnt gitmo, its a dentist office" is pure comedy
I would assume the fridge was old enough to where the idea of safety mechanisms wasn't invented yet.
Even for car trunks, they only added the levers for safety after people got hurt. Mostly kids playing hide and seek, and people getting kidnapped
Title should be "Potential 2024 Darwin Award nominees" since it is a legitimate longstanding award.
I don't think Terry should get a Darwin Award. While impressive, it's usually a pretty safe assumption that "empty" toilets contain only water.
I just want a Playlist of every darwin awards video this channel has done 😂😂😂😂
Terry doesn't qualify for the darwin award due to the fact that he was not a moron for tossing his cigarette in the toilet. He just had no idea that it had recently been used for dumping cleaning chemicals, which makes it a freak accident.
Simon you mixed a CT and an MRI scan
MRI's use radio waves to make an image
CT's use X-rays
Credit, I work as an radiology technician in a hospital
I've read the toilet fume story somewhere in the DA website or publications -- they mark it as an urban legend/apocrypha. Amazing coincidence for Dave to know the original guy.
Also tested by Mythbusters
@@tuskintuskin that makes sense 😝
I once rode in an ambulance because a coworker skewered his ball bag with a tree root, and the paramedic told me a story about two dudes. They got all methed up, and stole a shotgun with beanbag rounds from a cop car (apparently those firearm locks are really easy to break). They decided to shoot each other with the beanbag rounds. The first dude stands there puts his head down, about 10 feet away from the firing line, and waits to be shot in the chest. The second dude instead aimed low and got him right in the junk. He hit the floor, but eventually got up and shot the dude back, also right in the junk.
Apparently the shotgun was already loaded with buckshot, because the second guy's groin was obliterated, he bled out, but may or may not have lived, the paramedic couldn't say for sure. The first guy who got hit with just the beanbag round had his genitals smashed beyond recognition, but was so stoned that he had no idea. They noticed all the blood wuen he was being questioned.
How does this man still show up on new CZcams channels?! How does he have time?! Simon, are you a god incarnate of CZcams?
Just got my snip a couple weeks ago. I had a good conversation with the doctor. Found out he does around 9 vasectomies 2 mornings a week, and that he never thought he'd be the "ball snipping" guy when he went to medical school.
21:30 about 10 years ago three teenage girls expired taking a selfie in front of a speeding train. The photo online is literally a fraction of a second before they died
Jesus. That is truly horrible, and horrifying.
How in Hell can any educated human think that standing on train tracks longer than necessary could possibly be a good idea?

@12:40 For our UK friends, concealed carry legalities differentiate between each individual state, but all states, with the exception of a few states that allow some hospital staff to carry, you cannot carry a gun inside a hospital. Almost universally hospitals are prohibited location, like school zones.
I openly admitted, I didn't look up the law for every state, as some have enhanced carry licenses, allowing you to carry in additional places, but I was unable to find anywhere that you can. So generally speaking, a blanket policy actually exists. "no carrying in hospitals."
There actually is a blanket policy in the U.S. for guns in hospitals. Most states (I'm pretty sure all states for that matter) prohibit carrying guns into a lot of different places, hospitals being on the list.
Banks and bars also
Makes sense. As I always say, the worst enemies of responsible gunowners are irresponsible gunowners (like in this case).
State firearm permits are also no good on Federal land, and this includes the Post Office which is easy to forget
The hospital I work at allows officers to carry their firearms unless entering the mental health unit. There is a combination lockbox set in the wall at the entrance. The officer sets the combination before closing the lockbox.
I was going to say that too...@@joshuarisker5525
But, also most businesses in Florida, since we love our lil (no firearm) sign
God I hope Terry gets PAID by the ambulance company
Has anyone ever won two Darwin Awards? That would mean first sterilizing yourself and then dying in a separate incident by doing something stupid?
If you've already been sterilized then dying won't get you a second award, as you've already been removed from the gene pool.
But there's almost certainly somebody out there who has done both to themselves.
This isn’t Guantánamo Bay
This is a dentist’s office
ALLEGEDLY
Simon got a Darwin award. ✂
actually since he already has children, no he doesn't. His genes are very much in the gene pool.
And yet still managed to possibly spawn yet another channel 5:22
He might be a bit touchy about that......Oh, wait... not anymore...!!!
But, he already has kids, so he's not eligible.
You only are eligible if you don't have children. You need to Remove your genes from the gene pool
Believe it or not, in the US until about 20 years ago, almost all refrigerators had doors that latched from the outside. People would throw them away, little kids would go in there to play, the door would close and the kid would die. It took the consumer product safety commission something like 20 years to fix this. God bless America.
Weird. In Canada the majority of fridges in the past 50 years are magnetic closure.
That’s for sure a tragicomical way to go
This is not accurate. "The Refrigerator Safety Act" was passed in **1956** that outlawed new fridges from having mechanical latches. So, 70 years ago, not 20
Yes, but many people kept those old freezers & fridges. Moved into a house where 3 of them were stored in a shed. Chained & padlocked them shut when I had nieces and nephews because.... my mama had warned ME about them back in in the '50s.
More like almost 70 years ago. Mechanical latches were banned in 1956
“Category of Floridian” 😂
My son has had quite a few MRI's over the last few months and I've sat in there with him for every one. It has to be one of the loudest machines I've ever been near.
It should be fine to put titanium in an MRI. However, I don't know how they do it in the U.K. or the Č.R., but in the U.S., they give you a card with all the pertinent information you would need for an MRI, with every implant you get. Not only do you have to worry about metals getting ripped out of you in an MRI, but certain metal implants can heat up and cook you.
Exactly. Whenever the magnetic field changes, a voltage is induced in metal. That voltage causes a current, current and resistance make heating, that's what induction stoves do. From what I've heard this can also happen with certain tattoo inks in the MRT.
The current also creates another magnetic field in the opposite direction of the change, all of that depends heavily on shape and orientation (you can launch rings of any metal high into the air with a magnetic pulse, pretty fun demonstration). Even if it does not hurt you, implants can cause artifacts in the created image.
I loved Simon's head in the yo yo chatgpt little clip 🤣🤣🤣
just realized my hysterectomy i had at 22 got me a darwin award lol
Saw X-Ray of what happened after a man attempted self repairs after his unfortunate accident. He was cleaning a factory late at night and was by himself. After discovering that one of the machines vibrations gave him some excitement. He decided to pleasure himself by pushing the broom stick against the machine and his genitals. The machine made an unexpected heavier than normal vibrating jolt. Resulting in the broom stick tearing his testicular sack apart and spilling its contents on the factory floor. He attempted to use a nearby staple gun to close up his torn sack. After just over a week, sepsis and other issues crept in and and caused swelling and his testicular sack was the size of an American Football. The damage and poorly repacked sack caused him to have his testicles removed. He survived by is now rightfully so, removed from the gene pool.
Medical/dental grade metal is usually titanium or stainless steel. So its not magnetic.
Stainless steel isn't as good for sticking magnets to as mild steel or cast iron, but it's still mostly iron and it will interact with a magnetic field.
Blaze me with your knowledge, FACT BOI 🔥
The x-ray slices machine is called a CT, MRIs use radiowaves to achieve the same result with the magnetic part aligning your portions and allowing radiowaves to produce the same result as a CT.
Two men wake up in a hospital ward after operations.
- What kind of surgery did you have? asks one of the men.
- Castration.
- You mean vasectomy ?!
- Darn! That’s what it was called …. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
10:52 I'm now genuinely surprised I have never heard any use the term *_Branch Floridians_*
3:39 ....
Blazement needs to do a script on John Bobbitt
We required the MRI technologist to scan everyone entering the MRI room with a metal detector prior to entering.
Hearing Simon, arguably the most educational man on CZcams, confusedly say "because the sperm is in the balls" might be the funniest thing I've heard this week.
i appreciate the brief clip from "evolution". that movie is great.
Spectacular editing Julian. Well done
The reason why the door knob tied to the tooth works. Is because baby teeth will already have the root of the tooth dissolved. The body's already removed the major place for infection.
Pulling out an adult tooth is a completely different thing.
The editor obviously likes Harvey Birdman. I approve of this.
Ha Haaaa.... this...
Ive had a handfull of MRI's, at least in my state they tell you not to even bring your watch or jewlery. PS they aren't that bad, they have "open" MRI if your claustrophobic, they worst part for me is the not moving
My favorite story from last year involving a MRI machine has to be the person who wore a buttplug to get their mri.
I remember there was a claim they thought it was safe because it was silicone, but was unaware it had a metal core, and the mri pulled it into their chest.
I don't remember if they were supposed to have died or not, or if it was ever verified as true or not, but it is my favorite darwin-esk type incident.
god I love it when DBZ abridged clips get used in these videos
Simon is lucky to have people to do the research for him and he gets to read all the cool info they find. Studying and researching is not always easy for those of us with ADHD lmaoo then we get to have a consistent presence which helps my Autism and PTSD lol
Yes, your metal bar would be titanium. I got a titanium rod and 2 titanium screws in my knee.
They always use titanium because of MRIs
Titanium has been used in surgical implants since the 1950s and dentistry since the 1940s. MRI were first used clinically in the 1980s. Titanium is used for medical implants because it has superior biocompatibility compared to other metals. It is resistant to corrosion from body fluids, it is inert, actually integrates (fuses) with bone, strength and very low allergenicity. This is due to the oxide coating that forms making it chemically impermeable. It being diamagnetic was a bonus when MRI became a thing, but the more inert metals tend to be diamagnetic anyway.

Simon you’re an odd fella
Whoever edited this needs a pay raise just for the Skeletor edits!!
I also have never had a serious toothache and never had any serious tooth problems, at least not since I was a kid in the 90s. I've only been to the dentist once since then and barely take care of my teeth at all, yet they are still in really good condition, even though I am 42 (my parents were already losing teeth by the time they were my age or slightly older). The one time I went to a dentist a few years ago was very unpleasant so I'm not keen on going again any time soon.
OMG that cut of "Evolution" is perfect 👌
Makes me think of the story Randy Feltface tells about taking his uncle to the hospital with a moped tail pipe fused to his hand, and his uncle describes the mechanism of injury simply as "I've done a mischief."
Jesus Christ this guy, its like one of granpa Simpsons stories where he meanders off topic and ends up talking about onions.
Simon I need you to understand that Chatgpt is not google. It makes realistic sounding answers with no regard for whether or not they are true. It is sometimes correct. But correctness is not what it does
Sounds EXACTLY like the random shit salad google spits back.
@@Loralanthalas not the same thing.
Google doesn't give you the answer (in general), it provides relevant websites that will contain an answer.
From there it's just a matter of reading multiple sources and sorting out the verifiable and reputable sources from the loony tunes.
Completely different to chatGPT.
Please put a warning up for wussys like me before showing people hanging off buildings like that; I already have a fear of heights, and that didn't help.
That clip had me squirming in my chair. I'm a rock climber.
having never seen you in a non warographics video before i never knew you were so unhinged
Simon is like a baby who's reborn every morning... the Darwin Awards have been a thing since 1985.
I know enough about american gun culture to make a few assumptions as to why people elect to bring their firearm into a hospital.
1) They have been made deeply paranoid about bad guys randomly appearing in everyday situations that can only be stopped by a good guy with a gun (which of course, they are), that they feel like a gun is needed to survive in the states. These people are the reason the GTA series exists.
2) It's a culture thing. They see guns as a normal every day item and thus see no problem with pointlessly carrying one on their person at all times.
And yes, their gun culture is so deeply ingrained, they will not only NOT question it, they will also not accept anyone questioning it. I've tried, but it will eventually lead to a dismissive "you are european, you don't understand freedom"
You've got a pretty deeply distorted view of American culture. Also GTA was developed by a British company so..
Unfortunately NHS dentists are verry uncommon now, spent 7 years trying to find one
In the happy place tv show. Guy locks himself into a safe to rob the store later.
Those magnets are other worldly, I was told my gold wedding ring would be okay. My finger still tingles.
I had a $700 MRI yesterday, im still bitter about it.
I’m glad someone is upholding the grand tradition of the Darwin awards.
8:18 Theoretically, the lid wouldn’t need to be airtight for someone to suffocate. It would just need to be tight enough for the rate of oxygen exchange with the outside world to be slower than the body’s rate of oxygen use. So long as that were true, the amount of CO2 within the container would rise and (assuming they didn’t get rescued) the person would eventually suffocate. The only question would be how quickly that happened. And if the container weren’t completely airtight, any smell would start to escape fairly quickly.
Decomposition of a body in a freezer would produce gasses that would over pressure the freezer chamber. The chamber is not a pressure vessel so the gasses would vent to the atmosphere. Then people would smell them.
So, once had an MRI and was very stressed about removing anything metal. Had a wireless bra with plastic hooks, but she still got me to remove it. Titanium earrings but called the clinic prior to see if it was allowed, but still wasn't (doesn't react to MRI machines but some places still have a blanket no piercing rule). Took glasses off, and all the stress, I somehow forgot the keys in my pocket. Thankfully, was in deep leggings pockets and I felt it move on my leg the second the machine turned on, so panic hit the button. After apologising profusely, she said it's common to forget stuff like keys or rings, and even if it came out of my pocket, a small set of keys would only mess with the scan but not the machine - it's only metal objects that are heavy/strong enough to fuck up the machine and a set of keys will maybe slide out of a pocket, but wont rip through fabric. A gun is crazy to forget, he definitely didn't want to admit he had a gun and didn't think about the magnet
Am I the only one who thinks we need a Simon channel just for the crazy stories of all the writers?
So this is the episode where I realised Simon is too pure to know about prostate milking.
18:29 Skeletor going "heh 👈" made the video 1000x better.
