Partially. It's also down to different parts having different jobs.

@@UnknownSquid As far as I'm concerned "having a seizure/orgasm/heart-attack/panic-attack/falling-in-love/dreaming/vomiting all at once" just qualifies as a really kinky orgasm.
The spider thing is true. Fun fact: if you somehow swallow less than 8 spiders during the year, the specific amount of spiders needed to fulfill the count will crawl inside your mouth in 1 day.
I honestly don't think you swallow any spiders during your sleep ever unless you sleepwalk and grab them and devour them. Yes spiders may like warmth and humidity but I'm sure they can sense the vibrations and breath. I'm pretty sure they know better than that
Actually, yes. A predator who would want to consume a spider for nourishment would have lungs, things with lungs exhale some amount of carbon dioxide, lizards, birds, humans, whatever. Most insects and arachnids thus have evolved to sense and will avoid high concentrations of carbon dioxide, it makes them run away thinking a hungry mouth is perched over them. There is no way a spider would crawl into your mouth, it would be like asking you to knowingly climb into a loud, violently vibrating wood chipper. That said, they will crawl all over you to get around your room, use your body for heat, bite you for no reason or because you rolled over on them...or to eat your blood. If you live in California like I do you almost certainly have had tiny wolf spiders drink your blood hundreds upon hundreds of times. Those are the quick little black ones who don't make webs, yeah, those eat you.

I've read that the fan death came from families not wishing the suicide of a family member to be known in any records. The shame associated with the suicide was/is something doctors were/are sensitive to, and so put the cause of death down as "fan death". I think, if this is the explanation, what probably happened, whilst many probably understood the euphemism, it's a euphemism for suicide, so they weren't inclined to discuss it very much, and then enough people failed to understand the euphemism that timers on fans became a feature, and then when people started asking about the timer, eventually became standard...this is all speculation based on something I read and can't source, but is interesting to think about.
@@unclecreepy7025 Hwang Woo-suk (who faked his cloning research and probably isn't the best example, but is nevertheless accomplished) attributed South Korea's success to their use of metallic chopsticks - which supposedly increases their dexterity over other Asian nations that use wooden chopsticks and Western nations with forks.

Spiders actually don’t love warm and moist places; not to the extent of your mouth anyhow. They actually crawl in there as a loving sacrifice to compensate the ass tons of junk food you eat and keep you at least moderately healthy. Eat your greens, kids. Or the spiders will have to commit sacrifices for you.
It was made up by a woman named Lisa Holst, who was proving you could make up anything on the internet and people would believe it. It was completely fictional. If spiders were in the habit of crawling into other animals mouths like that, they'd be extinct.
Actually America’s public water is in a weird state of no regulation because the fed says it’s up to the states but the states say it has to meet federal guidelines….
He wasn't kidding when he said it's a South Korean specialty. This belief is literally confined to South Korea. As far as I know, it hasn't gained traction anywhere else.
Guys he was joking about the spiders (probably). Spiders are NOT fond of breezy or noisy areas, which is exactly what your mouth is. Don't believe me? Test it for yourself! Jk. Someone already did it for you in a youtube video. They put spiders on their faces and even INSIDE their mouths and they immediately crawled out.
Actually, a recent study done concluded that certain species of arachnids *do* prefer warm and moist areas. Particularly the American brown widow spider.
Grey: 8 spiders fall into your mouth. Me: Please tell me this is false! Grey: This is plainly ridiculous. Me: Thank God! Grey: 8 is too low an estimate Me: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Regarding the "10% of your brain" thing, I heard somewhere that the misconception comes from the fact that "you use all of your brain, but only 10% is working at any given time". Thinking about it, this is probably wrong because "why is there 90% of your brain on standby for very specific and apparently rare tasks?", but I think it still makes the point that statistics can be very easily misunderstood based entirely on how the statistics are worded.
The spider count depends on what you classify as a spider. Dust mites fall under Arachnida the same class as spiders, and pretty much look like microscopic alien spiders. Including dust mites, you probably inhale millions of spiders a year from your pillows, mattress and bed sheets.
So does the U.S. - bottled water companies don’t have their water tested by the FDA instead their allowed to do it themselves and submit their own reports... which I’m sure they do... without lying to save costs at all...
Hinkley bottled water is one of the most expensive ones in stores but it is really just water from the municipal water supply of Chicago. That statement is on the bottle but in very small print.
The fan death is actually what you call it when someone takes their own life in Korea. It’s a way to say it without saying, like if a friend dies and someone asks how. It’s really sad.
I would not worry so much about how many spiders might crawl into your mouth but more about what else might find that an inviting place to spend the night. Say, for instance a LARGE centipede. OH YES I DO KNOW WHAT YOU WERE THINKING YOU SMUTTY MINDED PERSON YOU!!!
1:54 This one is actually true where I live in the US. Here the city officials bribed the health regulators so the city didn't have to replace the outdated water pipes and loose money as a result. Numerous people have gone to the hospital because of lead poisoning, etc. but the city has done nothing. So we always get bottled water or use a Brita filter at least.
David Latham A small suburb of Chicago that's usually overlooked by most people. It has nothing noteworthy about it, so no one really cares what happens here. Not to mention all the city budget goes to the PD, while firemen and municipal workers are laid off.
Scott Krafft Ah, I see. It's interesting how Flint received so much attention last year while your city (and several others across the country) suffer and have been suffering from contaminated for years.
+David Latham It's really bad on my block, however. Since I live on a dead-end street, the water doesn't constantly flow, it just stagnates in the pipe at the end of the block. Not to mention workers safety rules are just plain laughable. The water department (where my dad works) uses trucks so old they don't have good seatbelts or sometimes none at all. So his (now former) boss fell out of a work truck while it was moving and got his spine ground up in the rear wheel well. He lived, but now has permanent brain damage. All because a few guys thought they could bypass safety rules by slipping some cash under the table. Plus they spent $200,000 on a welcome sign but can't afford a $60,000 paycheck for a fireman.
Technically we do use 100% of our brain.. just not at the same time. But that does not mean that we have some "untapped" or latent power within our minds (like telekinesis or mind control) We do not use 100% of our brain at the same time because each area of our brain has a specific function. Some areas of the brain are for processing vision, others for sound, or touch or taste.. other areas are for storing memories, others for comprehension or motor control, etc. If we used 100% of the brain at the same time.. we would not be able to function, it would be like a massive seizure.
GP SMAV Hi, I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean by "maximum functional capacity". I don't see how anyone would be able to measure such a thing. From what I had understood the 10% issue was based on only 10% of the brain being electrically active at any one given time. So people felt that we humans could achieve new "powers" if we could somehow activate 100% of the brain at once. That was what I was getting at, how we don't use 100% of our brain at one time, because the brain has different areas separated for different tasks. Activating 100% of the brain at a single time would not benefit us.
GP SMAV So to answer you. Yes I was referencing it as a percentage of the actual physical brain tissue, not about its functional capacity. I do not know how anyone can measure our functional capacity to say we are only using a certain percentage of it.

I think, if this is the explanation, what probably happened, whilst many probably understood the euphemism, it's a euphemism for suicide, so they weren't inclined to discuss it very much, and then enough people failed to understand the euphemism that timers on fans became a feature, and then when people started asking about the timer, eventually became standard...this is all speculation based on something I read and can't source, but is interesting to think about.
That makes more sense than thinking an entire country at the top of the science education ranks thinks fam blades can cut oxygen molecules up.
I also heard that story
@@unclecreepy7025 Hwang Woo-suk (who faked his cloning research and probably isn't the best example, but is nevertheless accomplished) attributed South Korea's success to their use of metallic chopsticks - which supposedly increases their dexterity over other Asian nations that use wooden chopsticks and Western nations with forks. Basically, the South Koreans are incredibly smart but also a bit superstitious.
@Jalan Marshall No, obviously. Just a superstition in the culture (and ultimately most cultures have that to some degree...)
Oooooooooh.. yeah that actualy make some sense.

The septopus joke didn't make much sense- IIRC, octopuses grow their legs back when lost.
Fuck me, that last one caught me off guard.
Spiders actually don’t love warm and moist places; not to the extent of your mouth anyhow. They actually crawl in there as a loving sacrifice to compensate the ass tons of junk food you eat and keep you at least moderately healthy. Eat your greens, kids. Or the spiders will have to commit sacrifices for you.

Dont worry, he was joking. He only joke cuz there is no actual source of the misconception. I will send the link of the video he did when i find it.
It's actually too high
Why is this now called "Blood is Blue?"
Probably for the algorithm
Omg! I am scarred for life with that spider thing...
right?!? ahhh
He was just joking, spiders will never crawl into your mouth.
Let's hope so...
Taty Ali No really, check out his follow up video. Looking for Lisa Holst (Re: 10 Misconceptions Rundown).
I was using Blender 3d on my 2nd screen when that spider came up and i shook in terror like a little bitch.
"8 is far too low for an estimate"
This was hilarious, thank you for a great start to my morning

I guarantee 99.9% of the comment section is about swallowing spiders 😂
Did you notice that Minecraft Creeper near the start.

let me make this clear...ahem.....HUMANS DO NOT SWALLOW SPIDERS IN THEIR SLEEP......clear enough?
It was made up by a woman named Lisa Holst, who was proving you could make up anything on the internet and people would believe it. It was completely fictional. If spiders were in the habit of crawling into other animals mouths like that, they'd be extinct.
Spiders dont exist
Keiser Wolfblitzer Thank you for that! Now I can sleep again!
if spiders dont exist... then what do i see when i go into my basment?
Actually America’s public water is in a weird state of no regulation because the fed says it’s up to the states but the states say it has to meet federal guidelines….
Always enjoyable, thanks.
...I've never even heard of the fan one.
fun fact, more people die per year to fan death than to vaccinations.
or you can use ceiling fan to hang from it
I have actually. I have idea where it came from.
You’re not South Korean, are you?
He wasn't kidding when he said it's a South Korean specialty. This belief is literally confined to South Korea. As far as I know, it hasn't gained traction anywhere else.
Guys he was joking about the spiders (probably).
Spiders are NOT fond of breezy or noisy areas, which is exactly what your mouth is. Don't believe me? Test it for yourself!
Jk. Someone already did it for you in a youtube video. They put spiders on their faces and even INSIDE their mouths and they immediately crawled out.
Actually, a recent study done concluded that certain species of arachnids *do* prefer warm and moist areas. Particularly the American brown widow spider.
The Reasonable One yes
I just wanna know who tf put spiders in their mouth
ya but that spider is big@@rns2850
Zacchary Picardal thank god it isn't true
Eight spiders a year is "far too low an estimate.". Thanks for giving me a whole new catalog of nightmares!

I guess.... I'm gonna try and go to sleep now....
Grey: 8 spiders fall into your mouth.
Me: Please tell me this is false!
Grey: This is plainly ridiculous.

+TheAwesomeDude Someone made the same exact joke 7 months before you and got 800+ thumbs up. You tried to steal the joke, and got...5.
Regarding the "10% of your brain" thing, I heard somewhere that the misconception comes from the fact that "you use all of your brain, but only 10% is working at any given time". Thinking about it, this is probably wrong because "why is there 90% of your brain on standby for very specific and apparently rare tasks?", but I think it still makes the point that statistics can be very easily misunderstood based entirely on how the statistics are worded.
I love that this whole video is basically a setup to that one joke at the end
1:16 = the calmest, smartest, coolest roast in history
The spider count depends on what you classify as a spider. Dust mites fall under Arachnida the same class as spiders, and pretty much look like microscopic alien spiders. Including dust mites, you probably inhale millions of spiders a year from your pillows, mattress and bed sheets.
We need more parts of this.
I love the ending of this one. I should have seen it coming, but didn't. Kudos.
Fun fact: Canada has tighter health regulations on tap water than on bottled water.
As does Germany.
So does the U.S. - bottled water companies don’t have their water tested by the FDA instead their allowed to do it themselves and submit their own reports... which I’m sure they do... without lying to save costs at all...
as a "fact" it's not "fun" as is, but for it's cynic conclusions
Hinkley bottled water is one of the most expensive ones in stores but it is really just water from the municipal water supply of Chicago. That statement is on the bottle but in very small print.

The fan death is actually what you call it when someone takes their own life in Korea. It’s a way to say it without saying, like if a friend dies and someone asks how. It’s really sad.
"the best kind of correct"
Ah, a fellow man of culture.
FAR TOO LOW AN ESTIMATE?? damn you were supposed to reassure me
I would not worry so much about how many spiders might crawl into your mouth but more about what else might find that an inviting place to spend the night. Say, for instance a LARGE centipede.
OH YES I DO KNOW WHAT YOU WERE THINKING YOU SMUTTY MINDED PERSON YOU!!!
Centipenis, don't google it.
Spiders don't really like humans all that much. it was a joke meant to scare you.
Oh god. D: More than 8? But Ima be fat. Better go to the vomitorium to vomit.

@@duffin3503 yes ^^
1:54 This one is actually true where I live in the US. Here the city officials bribed the health regulators so the city didn't have to replace the outdated water pipes and loose money as a result. Numerous people have gone to the hospital because of lead poisoning, etc. but the city has done nothing. So we always get bottled water or use a Brita filter at least.
Scott Krafft you live in MS or Flint, MI?
David Latham A small suburb of Chicago that's usually overlooked by most people. It has nothing noteworthy about it, so no one really cares what happens here. Not to mention all the city budget goes to the PD, while firemen and municipal workers are laid off.
Scott Krafft Ah, I see. It's interesting how Flint received so much attention last year while your city (and several others across the country) suffer and have been suffering from contaminated for years.
+David Latham It's really bad on my block, however. Since I live on a dead-end street, the water doesn't constantly flow, it just stagnates in the pipe at the end of the block. Not to mention workers safety rules are just plain laughable. The water department (where my dad works) uses trucks so old they don't have good seatbelts or sometimes none at all. So his (now former) boss fell out of a work truck while it was moving and got his spine ground up in the rear wheel well. He lived, but now has permanent brain damage. All because a few guys thought they could bypass safety rules by slipping some cash under the table. Plus they spent $200,000 on a welcome sign but can't afford a $60,000 paycheck for a fireman.

I always assumed that the "10% brain" thing was referring to our capacity for use rather than the physical percentage of brain tissue we use.
Technically we do use 100% of our brain.. just not at the same time. But that does not mean that we have some "untapped" or latent power within our minds (like telekinesis or mind control) We do not use 100% of our brain at the same time because each area of our brain has a specific function. Some areas of the brain are for processing vision, others for sound, or touch or taste.. other areas are for storing memories, others for comprehension or motor control, etc. If we used 100% of the brain at the same time.. we would not be able to function, it would be like a massive seizure.
I believe I've heard we use around 30-35% simultaneously, so that is probably more like the capacity. We use all of it but not all of it at once.
DrGeneralkumar82 Again, you are refrencing the physical brain tissue use, while I am talking about the maximum functional capacity.
GP SMAV
Hi, I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean by "maximum functional capacity". I don't see how anyone would be able to measure such a thing. From what I had understood the 10% issue was based on only 10% of the brain being electrically active at any one given time. So people felt that we humans could achieve new "powers" if we could somehow activate 100% of the brain at once. That was what I was getting at, how we don't use 100% of our brain at one time, because the brain has different areas separated for different tasks. Activating 100% of the brain at a single time would not benefit us.
GP SMAV
So to answer you. Yes I was referencing it as a percentage of the actual physical brain tissue, not about its functional capacity. I do not know how anyone can measure our functional capacity to say we are only using a certain percentage of it.
