You mentioned that the Megatherium (Giant Sloth) lived almost up to the present day. I looked it up and I found 10,500 BP was up to the point that it flourished with the last credible date being 10,000 BP. I just thought that was crazy as these giant creatures actually lived among humans at one point, in fact we may have part of the reason they went extinct (sorry buddies). Anyway, just thought I'd share! (credits given to wikipedia, cuz science)

Because it's a more accurate term. Vegetarian implies plants in general whether involving humans or animals. Whereas humans have decided their herbivory should be called vegitarian/vegan/fruitarian/whatever other distinction you want for plants. Since people ARE animals and nothing technically lives off just herbs as opposed to vegetation, easy choice.

Kristi Marie - Speaking with your body is generally a very good thing when properly used in conjunction with what you're saying and if you've always done it, then it likely is fluid and natural. This presenter for whatever reason just appears to be learning how to use those gestures and it ends up distracting for some viewers. For me, it doesn't matter since I'm mainly just audibly consuming the message, so she gets the job done. If you ever get into a debate class or any other area involving oratory skills where you're visible, they actually have to teach you how to do these gestures properly. It was very awkward when I implemented these teachings as I'd gone without doing so my whole life and I feel this is what I'm seeing on screen with this presenter. I'm glad they are giving these presenters opportunities to evolve and build their resumes though, so nothing against the presenter from me, just observation.

notquiteordinary >> I'm pretty sure SciShow actually have a video on why some (most) people use their hands while explaining something. It's either on the Scishow or SciShow Psych channel. Can't find it right now as I'm on my phone, it's 01:25 AM in Denmark right now and I have to meet at work on 09:00 AM. Otherwise I'd gladly have linked it here 😊

What's with all the hate directed towards this episode's host? A society that is supposedly all about equality and inclusion keeps going against it's ideals, quite ironically. Hate her voice? Let's see how your video does with the exact same script but your own voice. Hate how she looks? Don't watch the video, just listen if you're that rude. Can't deal with her voice? Skip the vid. Don't want to skip the vid because you want to support the channel? Turn off ad block and watch and click on the ads or go check out Scishow's Patreon.

Ryan McInnes this a comment section. This is where people voice their reactions and opinions to the video. I’ve seen about a hundred comments talking about how her mannerisms are distracting and uncomfortable and not good for this content. Clearly there is some truth there if so many people came to that conclusion on their. Most of them aren’t just “hating”. A lot of the comments are saying, “nothing against her, but the way she speaks and her hand movements are distracting and unpleasant for a job that requires you to do both of these things well.” It’s just what is. It’s not hatred. Or an unreasonably critique. A society based on equality is still allowed to have opinions on people and media. Are you here to censor this equal society?

Telling people to compare a video they do to this one is stupid, unless they are willingly putting videos out there. If you have chosen a path like this, you are accepting that some people might not like your work. Thinking that you can only critique something if you can do better at it is stupid. I find it super ironic that you're talking about other people not being inclusive, while telling those people that they shouldn't voice their opinion because it doesn't match yours...how inclusive. Stop projecting.

I wish you guys would use imperial measurements and Fahrenheit as well as the metric system and Celsius. While it is more important to focus on the metric system and Celsius, it doesn’t hurt to let us American fellows understand what you’re talking about. Many things that were supposed to sound cool just went right over my head because I’m much less familiar with those systems.

I wish Olivia would practice on eliminating her vocal habit of speaking in a loud, ascending pitch followed by a sudden drop to a scratchy extremely low tone at the end of each sentence. It is incredibly jarring and unpleasant to the ears. I instantly mute the video and turn on the subtitles as soon as she finishes her first sentence.
