We Drank Alcohol For 12 Hours And It Changed Our Faces

Dec 23, 2020

We tested the impact of binge drinking on attractiveness. Sidenote Podcast on Drinking: https://youtu.be/Fr5viO0rAMM With new lockdowns, quarantine and staying at home orders in place, we started to notice how drinking at home can change your face. Instead of watching the great conjunction, we stayed home and drank (it was cloudy anyways). We explain why you get drunk, how it changes your biochemistry, what impact that has on your face, and finally how hangover essentially make you ... ugly. FOLLOW US!

The Funniest Joke In The World (statistically)

Dec 17, 2020

The First 1000 people to click this link get a FREE SKILLSHARE PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP: https://skl.sh/asapscience11201 This video explains how humans evolved humor, what makes something funny (according to your brain) and what scientists have found is "funniest joke in the world". It also tackles why comedians keep getting cancelled, the benign violation theory and teaches you how to be a better comedian. Over Simplified, and Dude Perfect are funny because even they are making unsafe situations, safe. Even Billie Eilish comes off as funny, as her normal self is so separate to the spooky songs. I also show you the first time I ever did stand up, which makes me so nervous. All in all, it is a deep scientific dive into the science of humor. FOLLOW US!

The Strange Reason You Can Hallucinate

Oct 15, 2020

Hallucinations explain where your consciousness comes from. Sidenote Podcast: https://bit.ly/3drQwZV Join our mailing list: https://bit.ly/34fWU27 Your brain is a complex organ that makes you...YOU! Your consciousness is controlled by a variety of molecules and receptors in your brain which are studied while hallucinating. New research places participants in an fMRI machine to study their brains while hallucinating, it shows a decrease in the default mode network. The default mode network is a brain region that controls worrying, reason, motivation, reflecting on your past and planning your future. It is the part of the brain that builds the story of you! Your consciousness, fear of mortality, obsession with the ego starts to dissolve when you hallucinate, and your brain starts to add information and use the neurology of your brain in different ways to cope leading to a hallucination. All of this research is leading to breakthroughs in addiction therapy, end of life therapy and most importantly, a clear picture of where your consciousness comes from. FOLLOW US!

The REAL Vaccine Timeline | Coronavirus

Sep 17, 2020

WHEN will you get a COVID-19 vaccine? Join our mailing list: https://mailchi.mp/072240d817d6/asapscience With the news of Pfizer having a COVID-19 vaccine with 90% effectiveness, does this mean we will be getting a vaccine soon? It is important to be optimistic, and there are other companies like BioNtech which are making incredible progress as well. I mean, Trump claimed during the presidential debates that a vaccine would be completed "within a few weeks". This is not possible based on vaccine trials, the need for more glass vials and the epidemiological aspects of administering a vaccine. Scientists and experts do not expect a vaccine for months to a year, and that has not changed. In fact, the complex biochemistry of the COVID-19 vaccine means some of the phase 4 trials require booster shots, may not create an immunity that lasts and are no where near being administered country or worldwide within the next potential YEAR!? Now that Trump and Melania have tested positive for COVID-19, I'm sure he is wishing he spoke more accurately about the science of COVID-19. FOLLOW US!
