This video's title: *exists* Everyone: *thinking of a clever joke about dating*

I read the title wrong...I came here for ancient pickup lines😂

I’m glad to see we’re all sharing the same braincell

I was very confused when I saw the title, then I realized that this wasn’t a video on how to go out to dinner with an archaeological site

"Mom, how did you and Dad meet?" "Radioactive dating."

I would love to date Archeological Site-chan

I am so single that even an archaelogical site wouldnt want to date me XD

"What if the thing you wanted to date didn't have any carbon in it?" Relatable

Finally, I now know how to engage an archeological dig site into. Long lasting loving relationship!

I’m just here to make sure I didn’t misread the title, proceed

Instructions unclear: my love life is in ruins!

I’m glad this whole comment section is just the same joke

thanks scishow I’ve always had a crush on my archeological site

That title can be interpreted two different ways...

Method one: become friends first.

OK it's 11 pm here, but still, it took me 2 secs to realize this was NOT about romantic dating archeological sites.

Unfortunately, I don’t think my parents would approve this relationship.

"What if the thing you want to date never had any carbon to begin with?" I see you've met my silicon life form girlfriend.

"Hey baby, I'm really digging you." I'll see myself out now...

Yeah, as for dating advice, don't call your girlfriend an archeological site

Instructions unclear: In a serious relationship with 3000 year old buried city

maybe i'm just self conscious but sometimes i feel like the archaeological site doesn't even think i'm cute might take me a minute to work up enough confidence to ask it out

Thanks for the tips scishow. I have a date later and this will surely teach me some good moves to win her over!

How-to on dating an Archaeology site: Step 1. Buy it dinner. 2. Dessert if room. 3.??? 4. Profit.

I saw the title and I was like “Ooh. Oooh! I got a joke.” Then I got to the comment section 😩

everyone joking about the title when the real gem was the line about relative dating - i heard its a very commen technique in the more rual parts of the US

Normal people: dating women Me: dating anime girls in my mind Scientists: dating an archaeological site

I tried, my best friend even said "you Ottoman", but she was Chalcolithic and I'm Epipaleolithic. It'll never work out.

Buy it roses

Flowers and chocolate; the old tried-and-true way to gain access to restricted catacombs.

Ehhh, I think I'll just stick to match.com and dating people for now...

"Relative dating" Uhh...

*insert joke about going out with an archeological site* Edit: the word "Argon" just gave me flashback to the story of Jason and the Argonots.. please tell me I'm not the only one 😶😶

I died inside when i realised that this video is about time categorising and not about increasing my dating chances

Just last night, I was wondering how scientists did carbon dating of an archeological site, and heres the presentation ready. A big thanks to Scishow! This is much much better than Googling.

I’m dating this one older archeological site (ancient even, they don’t like it when I call them that tho) but I feel like they’ve only been ghosting me recently

Step 1: Approach Archaeological Site with confidence and respectfully greet them Step 2: Pay attention to details and ask questions Step 3: If things go well, let them know you would love to meet again to dig a little deeper into their past. Step 4: Document EVERYTHING!

This video doesn't really give credit to how important seriation is in archaeology. Relative dating gained by the method is used to date 95% of all sites.

Guys, never let Argon escape when you're on a date. It will mess you up. 👍

Am I the only one who expected advice by some pharaoh how to pick up girls?

Was gonna make a dating joke, but I see I wasn't the only one who thought the same thing. lol

I had a long frustrating conversation with a new earther who didn’t understand the basic concept of radiometric dating the other day. He thought that carbon dating was used for like dinosaur times... and that it was like burning a candle. That the decay started on one end and burned through to the other. Epic face palm. Couldn’t understand what a ratio was or how alpha decay worked so I stopped responding.

Archeologist dating techniques: I honestly thought I'd meet you in a museum... Cause you're a national treasure!

Posted 4 minutes ago and already 2 thumbs down? Y'all just salty or petty. Lol

Totally thought from the thumbnail that this was techniques of social dating discovered from archeological findings.

This video is timely. I just finished watching a livestream in which someone claimed that the universe is less than 12,000 years old because some comets cannot last 12,000 years, all comets were present at the creation of the universe, and there is no source to replenish them.

Great! Now, can the next video be 4 ways to date a person?

SciShow: **Dates an archeological site.** MinuteEarth dating a planet: **Hold my beer.**

You gotta take it out for dinner and show them around town with sightseeing. Of course you gotta end it with watching documentaries on Curiosity Stream

Every time I hear the word 'Strata' my existential dread goes through the roof. *Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!*

like everybody else, I was also hoping for some sweet tips on romantically dating archaeological sites

I legit thought this title said "4 ways to date an archaeologist", I was legit excited. (Edit) oh good everyone else thought the same thing.

I can listen to Olivia explain anything all day.

Take the archaeological site to dinner, take it to a movie, take it out for drinks, have a picnic with the archeological site in the valley of kings. There: 4 ways to date an archaeological site.

I came for the archeologists' mating strategies. I stayed for the science.

Thanks to this video i got a date with an archaeological site

That was a pretty job of explaining dating in a 12 minute format, keep up the good work.

Don't forget to compliment her on how well preserved she looks despite her age.

I've only ever dated silicon. Thanks for the advice in advance!

Thanks for sharing the strengths and weaknesses of each of these.

Who'd sign a petition to scishow to give us an episode on ancient human dating techniques? 😂

Surprised you didn't talk about that method where you heat up the clay pots since they have phosphorescence or something in them, you can tell how long ago a pot was fired by how much light they let off when heated. More light = more recent

It is glorious how many of us spent ten and a half minutes learning neat science while at the SAME TIME making ridiculously silly jokes playing on the word "date" Ah, I love you all

I was looking for dating advice and this vid helped, my BF is apparently around 20 years old

Maybe we should make a case for renaming the process of approximating the age of artifacts and sites from the far past. Having to say "I'm dating archaeological sites" is a little like adding insult to injury when you're a solitaire bookwormy nerd who sometimes forget to eat and sleep.

I don't even know why I thought this was a dating video from a science channel....SciShow explain the science on why we all thought this was a dating video

Instructions unclear. I brought an amphora to my house for movie night and now I am banned from all museums.

Watch Disney+ and chill, that's how you win her

With pottery you can heat it up and then based off of how much light it gives off you can get a estimate on when it was first fired or last fired

When I want to date an archeological site, I buy a bouquet of roses and ask nicely.

thank you, sci-show crew, for this most fascinating brain dump. Olivia's presentation skills have grown since she started and she's always enjoyable to listen/watch

How to date an archeological site? bring champagne and a picnic basket

The highly anticipated sequel to "4 ways to Date an Archaeologist".

The thumbnail made me think this video was about dating in ancient times. I have zero game so I was excited to learn some tried and true tips. Oh well...

Ah sweet, as a archaeologist I like seeing Sci Show make videos about anth and arch! Thanks for the video to help explain concepts.

The wasp nest bit is so clever

I usually walk around without a shirt , ignore archeology and flirt with a paleontology site. Works every time 🙄😏

my brainrot really made me think it meant romantically

The best way to date an archaeological digging site is to just ask the archaeologist when they started digging

Yes please... Would love a date with an archeological site 😅😅

paused video at 0:01 came to read comments for jokes. extremely satisfied. *leaves without watching video*

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who misread the title the first time

HAHAHA At first glance I thought the title read, "Ways to date ON an archaeological site".

Thank god there are people who love doing this and they don't want me to step away from eating fritos and chili to clutch a small grant.

Nice to see Olivia back

Relative dating: when your relationship status is "complicated."

Y'all must've made this title on purpose

I could use some of these. I don't know when was the last time i had a date.

You can’t one night stand an archeological site - they’re in it for the long haul

I was confused about why + and - signs were shown aligning during the ESR dating section. If it relies on magnetic alignment, shouldn't N and S-poles be shown?

So what I'm hearing is that dating is expensive, requires equipment, and very hard. I think I'll just stay single for now, thanks.

Don't forget, that we can also analyze critically important records the people of those places kept. For example, To accurately date the age of an olive tree, the vinyard owners knew this was a problem, so they came up with a really simple solution a long time ago: The original planter of an olive tree would write down and record exactly when they planted it. Then when that person sold it or was inherited by the next person, they would continue the paperwork trail by writing down dates, their name, and the previous owner who planted the tree. Each owner would do this and record dates and all previous owners for each olive tree they owned. This was often used by olive vineyard owners. These methods are entirely accurate because it was an honest eyewitness account. Which was critically important to the next owner of that olive tree. This method of dating any object is one of the most accurate dating methods, because it can even tell you the exact year and possibly even the hour of which the tree was planted. In ancient times, before we had BC and AD, they would use the current year of the reign of the current king, to record significant historical events. For example: "In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept." 2 Chronicles 35:19 KJV Therefore, we have an accurate way to date archeology by using this method.

Everyone is thinking the same thing after reading the title.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8

I'm glad you didn't mention the "long distance" way as we all know that's not a real option anyways.

The considerable impact of this content is undeniable. A book with like messages revolutionized my understanding. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

This was not the kind of date I had in mind. I was more interested in what kind of restaurants I should take the archaeological site to. Do they like pizza? Or should I go for something more posh?

I can’t wait to try out these dating techniques

Me: Reads thumbnail title Also me: Why should I trust dating techniques from a fossil? I'm not even single.

How would it mess with the calculated age of a fossil if the amount of ambient radiation isn't constant? For example, suppose at some part of a fossil's existence, it ended up under a hole in the ozone layer for thousands of years?
