Don't forget the fact that Merlin Sheldrake's brother, Cosmo Sheldrake, made a song from the noises the mushrooms made while growing, which he recording using solenoids.
I watched Cosmo's music promo for his brothers book, then I watched Merlin eat his book mushrooms, and now I get to watch the Yogscast talk about it. Honestly the whole Sheldrake family are a cast of characters. Merlin eats his own book, Cosmo makes hypnotic music with insane videos, Rupert is a parapsychologist and founded the theory of morphic resonance, and Jill Purce is this hippie lady that teaches overtone chanting.
I don't know any of these people but I have heard about the Morphic Resonance theo...ry... Oh my fucking god... wait... The gigantic, shelldrake, the dog picture... ice-9... oh my fucking god, I *have* heard of Rupert Shelldrake before... Truth had gone, truth had gone and truth had gone...

So yeah fun fact: Chameleons don’t actually change their color to match any kind of background. They just change their color to color to display their state and for mating. If you want an animal that DOES camo itself on purpose then may I present the octopus, who can actually blend in with a rainbow background like Simon described.
@@Shikamaru747 Im sure there is an animal that scientists were trying to see what colours it can blend into by changing the background then they changed it to plaid or ssomething so the creature just turned invisible
I haven't seen Lewis in Simon in actual years, it's crazy. I was there man, I saw shadow of israphel as it came out. They're still such pleasurable people
This videos series is honestly the highlight of my week. I've been so fucking depressed and stressed lately, really needed your silly and humorous thoughts and chat.
Once, when I forgot to finish a French assignment (highlight all the verbs... or something), I simply handed in a blank bit of paper with highlighted marks all over it with everyone else, so the teacher marked me down as providing something. I then finished it that night, and in the morning placed it in the bin in the class room, slightly scrunched. Later during the lesson the teacher handed them out, but said she couldn't find mine (which I professed was very surprising). Following this, I went to sharpen my pencil over the pin and miraculously discovered my test sitting in the bin! The teacher was horrified that she threw out my test she marked it then and there, and I think I passed!
I read that book over the summer! It was super fascinating and super fuckin weird. He has taken LSD before, and talks about that experience in the book, if that explains anything. Really made me want to make my own apple wine, too.
in most cases if you write answers in a language other then what's standard you'll get marks. professors usually don't have the time or patients to translate it from what you put down .
On another note. Apparently reading a different language for a book report also doesn't score you any attention, other then the teachers thinking you are strange.
The book mushrooms are oyster mushrooms, fairly easy to find in supermarkets. They're saprophytes, meaning they eat dead material, and can be cultivated on wood logs or damp straw. They can be found sometimes growing wild on dead trees. They're an excellent mushroom to eat and it's not surprising that they could grow on a book, when we consider how the book is made. Don't eat wild mushrooms unless you're certain of your identification.
Mushrooms are typically grown on woodchips or grains/grain husks. Different mushrooms need different requirements, but oyster mushrooms, which are what the author grew on his book, they are super easy going and will grow on just about anything.
13:55 Lewis wheezes uncontrollably at Simon's hot dog joke, and then looks at the camera with pure joy in his eyes. Find someone that makes you laugh like Lewis laughs at Simon.
Wow, not been here in over 5 years! Nothing’s changed! Still class banter. Started way back when you guys started making SOI and watched for many years after that. Only stopped because I grew out of the games you guys played but this new concept is brilliant! I could sit and watch you guys look at random shit for days lmao. Reminds me of the Ol’ Christmas livestreams mostly consisting of you two
I can see it would be a lot like an analogue enigma machine, every letter the code changes. It would take a long time to work it back from the gibberish written and you'd either have to shoehorn in what you want to say or add fluff depending on how much gibberish was written. Another issue would be spaces, it really only works if the initial code has none so you are open to decode it to anything you want but means interpreting even after decoding would be laborious.
@@frostykyogre Wouldn't take any time at all. You can just google "one-time pad decoder". Type in the gibberish you gave the professor, then encode it using your actual essay as the "key", and the resulting encoded message is the key you give to your professor. Takes like three seconds of copy-pasting. This is all assuming that you don't just completely fail to bluff your professor with this obvious bullshit in the first place, but it's probably the most creative way to get a deadline extension he's ever seen, so he might let you get away with it.
@@TheDrCN I think I was more trying to get at the pretty hard character limit put in place by what you initially write which you would need to get close to with the actual answer then cut or fluff to match exactly. Not to mention punctuation would be lacking unless there is support for going from just letters to letters and punctuation.
I know enough about mushrooms to say that the book thing must've been set up intentionally. He likely used some kind of mushroom starter for some edible mushrooms and used the book as just food for them, packing the mushroom starter into the pages and letting it get wet. They probably wouldn't have tasted much different.
Im surprised you guys are talking about Merlin Sheldrake, brother to Cosmo Sheldrake, like letting mushrooms grow on your book is weird but i mean so are their names!
Defo listen to the audiobook of the mushroom book (Entangled Life), it's a really good read and the reader does an excellent, soothing job of conveying the guy's weird scientific-but-kinda-religious relationship with fungi
In Denmark it's allowed to write in your native language in final exams. However, you are not allowed to write in different danish dialects such as "sønderjysk" which is heavily influenced by german language
I would assume something similar is standard most places. Would be odd if dialect and slang was accepted. Then again, it only really matters in language tests, but why make it hard on the examining teacher.
"Slightly better than 39%" got me so good. Let's be real, someone who's eating a fucking meatball sub during their exam is pretty likely to be rolling down the left side of the bell curve.
I grew out of Yogscast a long time ago but because of COVID draining my CZcams I started watching these. It reminds me so much of the old days of the YogPods. With everything going on right now I’m so glad to see these two are still going unlike so many OG youtubers
My brother had broken his arm and had a cast on which really affected how his writing looked. Some time after a test the teacher called him to her desk to read what he put in the essay part of the test. He just edited it to be the right answer and there was no way to tell if thats what he actually wrote.
Ive had classmates either partially or entirely submit work in their native language out of sleep deprivation. Not excessively often. But more than once.
Predatory birds also found in Florida: Peregrine falcon, Osprey, Bald Eagle, Golden Eagle, Red Tailed hawk, Merlin, American Kestrel, Sharp-Shinned Hawk, Cooper's Hawk, Short Tailed Hawk, Red Shouldered Hawk, Broad Winged Hawk, Turkey Vulture, Swallow Tailed Kite, Snail Kite, White Tailed Kite, Mississippi Kite, Barred Owl, and the Great Horned Owl. All of which could easily kill and eat (at least partially) a chameleon.
Ill be honest when i was in school if i had forgotten to do somthing i would make and submit a corrupt file to get more time to finish it. It worked out for me 90% of the time
I still remember Simon referencing Frank Herbert’s Dune nonstop when he and Tom played Witch Hunt. Good times
Every time they went up those stairs, it's Dune time.
I work in a book shop and I always think of Simon saying Frank Herberts Dune when I see a copy
Yee
I wish tom and simon did more horror stuff if possible, it was some of the best stuff I've watched.
And then the end boss was a giant worm... it almost seemed too great of a coincidence.
I love that you can hear someone else laughing in the background whenever Simon makes a good joke
It's so damn satisfying to hear someone else affirm your sense of humor.
You know guys, I turned 23 last month and it made me realise that I've been watching your video's for the past 10 years.
Thanks alot.
and you still act like you're in freshman year...
I feel this man. I've been watching them since they only had about 20,000 subs.
Turned 22 last September, grew up watching SoI in middle school. Still love them to this day!
Don't forget the fact that Merlin Sheldrake's brother, Cosmo Sheldrake, made a song from the noises the mushrooms made while growing, which he recording using solenoids.

Nice joke. 10/10
god i love it
Lewis' description of how he would cook a book actually makes me want to eat a book
A whole new meaning to 'Reader's Digest'
Merlin Sheldrake is going to be the name of my next DnD character.
It has to be either a wizard that specialises in summoning reptiles, or some flavour of dragonborn mage

One of the funniest Simon’s PP’s to date. (I love how at one point you can hear the crew behind the camera laughing) Amazing.

I love how they still have that frostmourne in the background. Although it's all leafy now.
I miss bananamourne and anal street

Underrated comment! This whole comment section is just full of high-quality stuff
"Pascal" is the name of the chameleon in Tangled, the Rapunzel movie.
I noticed this too and I loved it!
I mean most mushrooms grow on little more than wood chips, paper is essentially the same.
The song that plays in the background for like the entire episode is really nice
cow birds are parisitic, they lay their eggs in the nests of other species. also they are mockingbirds so they can make a wide variety of sounds

Google Translate can never be 100%, you'd better hire a translator. "Well, it basically means, like,..." even then it's not 100%
