wait a shrine was enough? I have started a church around the life of Tom Scott. (it's a empty room to symbolise Tom his aversion to live with unnecessary stuff and then i removed the room because a empty room has no use. It's just a empty lot next to the road).
wait what exactly was the chubbyemu reference? edit: i saw another comment pointing to 1:12 lmao you're right, i just thought it was a strong coincidence
My dad's been holding his breath for 4 years now and sometimes we go and stand on the grass above him to offer moral support and encouragement. He's in some sort of tournament with hundreds of others who are all beneath their own little bits of grass, some have been holding their breath for over a century.
pro tip: don't try the ice bath thing if you have any kind of anemia/blood disorder, or else you might pass out from the sudden drop and get water everywhere, a thing that definitely didnt happen to me (pulls at damp collar like a vaudeville comedian)
Now I'm just curious what it would do with Wolfe Parkinsons. To my knowledge it's just bio electrical, but I probably should experiment in a safe environment before any cold adventures
Hi I'm from North of Borneo (Sabah). Bajau ethnic is one of 36 Ethnics in Sabah. I'm from Dusun ethnic. Most of people here (mens) who lives near the ocean can sunk underwater and hold breath around 5-10 mins. I myself can hold breath around 7 mins to hunt fish (as shown in the video) . This is possible if you been doing this since you are kid.
I remember as a kid being told that no one could hold their breath for more than 5 minutes, which scared the hell out of me since I repeatedly would hold my breath for more than 5 minutes without any effort so I'd always surface... just in case. I was playing soccer and running cross country at the multi-state competition level though. Also, living in Louisiana so that I've been swimming since a baby.
Interesting fact: if you stay underwater for long enough your pulse goes to 0. By using this technique you can stay underwater for the rest of your short life
Such a thorough explanation. Thank you! I learned a lot from this video. And how cool is it that you do medical tourism, visiting people who have unusually large spleens. :)
My name is Rowan (pronounced very similarly to Rohin), so I was already slightly shook by the start of the video, as it's rare to find another Rowan/Rohin in media. So when Rohin mentioned Weddell seals (pronounced incredibly similarly to my surname, Woodell) I was sure this was some kind of Truman Show-esque Bandersnatch Matrix situation. Consider me freaked out
In an Anatomy class I did the breathing test. We did several different things like one breath and hold as long as you can, breathe OUT and hold as long as you can, then, finally, hyperventilate and hold. I managed 2.5 minutes after hyperventilating and you could hear the class trying to keep up :-) There was a band around my chest so you could see if I was breathing... thing is... it starts hurting and you want to breathe after about fifteen seconds. After that you're just suffering and smothering for 2 1/4 minutes. Letting a little air out reduces your suffering slightly so at the end I was exhaling a little and it was almost like taking a breath, each time.
Pro tip: Never hyperventilate during the breath up, this can cause a black out. If you let some air out, the pain doesn't feel that immense. Downside is that there's still oxygen in that air so don't waste them particles.
Never hyperventilate when diving, it gets rid of the discomfort that comes with heightened carbon dioxide levels, but you will pass out by the time the discomfort starts happening
in fact, the next stage (getting muscle twitches in the stomach area) signifies only half the time you can stay underwater (unless you've hyperventilated, in which case you will be passed out by the time the twitches come along)
Amateur tip from a highschool swimmer who's been swimming competitively for 8 years. Hyperventilating makes swimming 50 meters with one breath super easy for when you gotta do a 25 second 50 to go to state.
we had this sciencey news show called Daily Planet here in Canada and I miss it. I didn’t realize how much I did until I started watching Tom and yes, unfortunately it’s an addiction.
Overall an interesting video, but I’m most fascinated by the meat packaged in clear packaging on both sides so the purchaser can see the whole cut before purchasing. Absolutely brilliant! I wish it were done this way in the USA (prepackaged cuts of meat sold in grocery stores is usually on a Styrofoam or metal tray with Saran Wrap covering).
5:33 I have a favorite, but I've forgotten what it's called. It's the one that goes from your brain, down, around some bone, then back up to you throat. The most unnecessarily long nerve in the human body caused by a quirk of evolution. Edit: just checked. I apparently got this from one of this guy's other videos. It's the recurrent laryngeal nerve, which loops around the aorta of the heart before going back up to the larynx.
I think Tom actually takes December off but he's a month ahead of his videos so we experience the gap a month later... in January! Ok, I'm not exactly a wizard but these sorts of things don't pass over my head unnoticed 😆😆
That was a fascinating video, I can hold my breath for 3-4mins. I love water, being underwater is incredibly relaxing for me, I guess it's my favourite habitat. Even do it in the bath... 15 minutes is just insane!
Getting free music to use in your video isn't easy. UA-cam provides a large free library where you can search by sound, so you don't have to pay 2k for sound rights
It would be really interesting to see if, given a few thousand years of relative isolation, the Bajau would continue to adapt to have longer diving times.
Enjoy the holiday Tom. I always enjoy the lineups you manage to set up for these breaks. Also, who else thought of that BBC documentary as soon as they saw the title? (If I recall correctly, it's called Human Planet, and is one of the best documentary series I've seen.)
It was indeed Human Planet. Obv wasn't able to use the footage but I knew many people would've seen it. It was one of those 'woah' moments for me, brilliant TV.
I have a friend with SVT, which means their heart rate will suddenly jump up to stupid levels for little to no reason. So the “face in ice water” trick is something I was very aware of.
I certainly love this video and Rohin came to Sabah (a Malaysian state) but didn't even say the country's name. I'm not particularly offended but why doesn't anybody know about this country. From this country, North is Thailand, South is Singapore, South and West is Indonesia, East is the Philippines (all famous) but nobody knows what country in the middle of these. It's Malaysia! Anyway, nice video :)
would improving your resting heart rate improve your ability to breathe underwater for longer? When I used to do rigorous exercise daily, my resting heart rate eventually reached around 40. meaning I could breathe just fine but my heart rate had improved to the point where it didn't need to pump as much. and the world record for resting heart rate is ~27.
Can’t wait till this video is deleted by Earworm
Thanks for the video, Rohin! I'm going to be mostly away for the next few weeks, but hopefully no-one'll break the channel while I'm gone...
