I've been waiting for this video all month, keep hustling. But I need more, man. I'm fiending for that quality forest Valki content.
But what causes clitoral erections?
Forrest, I habitually rewatch your Reacteria series and something occurred to me today when watching your Matt Powell (Biologist vs Bigot) video. Could it be said (easier to explain to people who don't understand it) that evolution is a form of the "Ship of Theseus" thought experiment where the ship's structure/design changes to match the weather of its hyperthetical non-stop sea voyage? Or is this too open to the "a design requires a designer" biblical argument?
@morlath4767 honestly, I think you might have just made it more complicated. I don't think you need a metaphor or thought experiment to understand evolution it's a pretty simple concept. If someone doesn't understand it, they don't want to.

@@GaymerJenn Well, there are some theories about UA-camrs having legs, but they are not supported by observational science.
Allegedly
This is why I love biology. "Here's something really cool- actually I better explain it better" *has 7 different deep explanations to help explain a leg*
And some people have the gall to use terms like "It's just simple biology"
Biology is anything but simple
I'm glad l let him explain!😅
@@utes5532 And that's without touching the biochemistry!
I almost forgot how to breathe as I read about the chemistry of the process!
@@utes5532this is why biology relies so heavily on imprecise language like "typically", "usually", "generally", and "mostly." Generally the only reliable constant in biology is that there is usually an exception to any observed pattern, typically... that is mostly true. Further research would need to be done to determine whether or not there are any patterns in nature without exceptions. 😉
I find linguistics has more tangents.

Not all wings are specialized legs, though. Birds, yes. Insects, no. Mammals (bats), yes. Reptiles (Pterosaurs), yes, I believe.
Accurate!
@@KaiHenningsenin arthropods everything is modified legs though. Antennas, fangs, pincers, the oar shape legs of crab, the blades of mantis and of cause wings. They are being produced by the same genes if I remember correctly.

Does this imply that arms will eventually turn into wings?

I clicked on this video because I just found out I have a bunch of chronically torn ligaments in my ankle, and it was cathartic. Stupid leg
Oh man, that sucks. Sorry to hear that. Ive had leg issues for 25 years. I also clicked on the video because I agree legs are stupid.
My legs are stupid too, but it's an old lower back issue.
You mean stupid tiny arms? lol Hope you feel better soon!
It's special.
Ankles are amazingly weird.
ah Forrest, a prisoner of his own desire to teach EVERYTHING.
I also love how science moves so fast that some of his terms are obsolete so he lets us know both the old and the new.
like asking for directions in a rural town and getting: "turn left after you pass the vacant lot where the spiffy gas station used to be. sigh... they had good apple fritters..."
at first i thought he just skipped editing the script enterely, then i realised that somewhere in his harddrive is a 5h stream of conciousness mega cut of this glorious madness.
in other words i demand the snyder cut of this 😅
In conclusion: Let me explain
Tangents beget tangents
Tangents breed tangents but in the end I need to explain
Especially in biology.
Good news, I can pick up a coin with my foot.
Bad news, I now have a cramp in my foot. Stupid limb.
coin is just stupid cookie
Brilliant!
My legs aren't stupid arms!!! (Runs away crying)
Forrest is the type to get zero mileage out of Princess Bride's, "Let me explain... no, there's too much. Let me sum up."
I hate being painfully aware of every bone in my arms and legs
Especially when you have broke most them 😂
As a kid I used to make myself nearly faint thinking about what's underneath. 🤮
Did you know that this month is tongue awareness month? You're welcome!
I love how this is such an ADHD ramble video.
as ramble as it seems, he's still succinct throughout... (and now I'm looking at pictures of pterodactyl wings because of one of his images)
I work in Cardiology and want to expand on 9:45, because Forrest really brought out some fascinating information. Our arteries/arterioles have some great muscle surrounding them. This muscle is what allows for vascular contraction. However the return flow in veins and venules lack proper muscle to throughly put the blood back into the heart. Your return blood supply rely on three things: the existing momentum from the arterial system, muscle contraction (exercise), and body position. The first and last one will do the job, but are *not* a good way to rely on good vascular support.
That's where exercise comes in. In your legs your muscles are, for the most part voluntary, meaning you have to contract the muscle yourself. These muscles when you walk end up pushing the blood in your veins back to your heart. That's why walking 30 minutes a day is amazing for your cardiac and vascular system. That's also why if you are or know pilot's or freight truckers are more prone to DVTs, or deep vein thrombosis. These professionals have to go through routine screening because last thing you want is a pilot/trucker having a clot come loose and ending up having a heart attack/stroke.
The best thing about this information? The process is called "skeletal milking." Because the process our muscles squeezing the blood up is akin to the motion of milking a cow.
So do yourself a favor and spend 30 minutes every day milking your skeleton!
Does it matter how fast you walk, or does that only affect calorie burn?
Great information, thank you. From now on I'm going to call my daily 30 min. walk "skeleton milking".
"Bye y'all! I'm off skeleton milking. Be back in half an hour!"
does bouncing your leg while sitting also help with that?
Exercise is called “skeletal milking”?? Since when?
@Macachee Skeletal muscle pumping is the action of using muscles to aid the movement of blood back to the heart. It's not "exercise," but instead a process that requires movement. You don't need to exercise to do this, just walk.
This format makes my brain SO HAPPY!
.?
@@Teapotman2what
I know, right? The focus on connections makes it so much easier to remember stuff!
@@p0k3mn1the rambling is the exact reason I love this format. My brain constantly goes on tangents and it helps me remember and understand things. This format is basically curated tangentially related information. Going from a muscle in your thighs to how erections work just makes perfect sense to me, even though I know very little about biology

I tried picking up a coin with my foot and succeeded and now have a video of me picking a coin up with my toes and will never post it because someone will say something weird because it’s a foot video
No I wont! (Lie)
Yeah when he said that, I went "OK and then what?" before he continued because I used my feet to pick stuff up pretty often 😂
@@writeonshell same like I use them to open doors when I need to around the house because it’s convenient when hands are full or just to grab something off the floor so I don’t have to bend over
@@writeonshellit's perfect for socks
Same. When cassettes were a thing I used to flip them over in my boombox with my toes. Extremely primate feet.
That post-endcards scene was so unexpected, I was wondering why there was so much of the video left... Well now I'm not wondering anymore -I'm running!-
Low-key sometimes my arms are just dumb arms
"Try picking up a coin with your feet" OK, I must be weird, because I can pick up just about anything with my feet.
I can pick up brushes with my feet.
@@ChrisGrahamkedzuelwhat type of brushes
@@WhiteWolf-lm7gj toothbrushes
I can pick up pretty much anything with my feet too. I thought most people could!
A coin lying flat on a flat surface would be a challenge, I have trouble picking those up with my hands!
I didn't think I'd learn the reason why Elhers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is so difficult to live with through a video about legs being stupid arms ❤ thanks Forrest!
Forrest makes everything more interesting. That's why he's a rock star and will eventually join the ranks of Carl Sagan, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and Bill Nye. Just wait.
The legs and feet took over the responsibility of sitting and standing, giving our arms and hands the freedom to specialize and "go find themselves."

Oh man I can already tell that this video is gonna have mad Hank Green "butt is legs" energy and I am HERE for it
The structure of this video perfectly illustrates why I can't fuggin focus on anything!
Man, having eds and learning about fasia just thinking "my connective tissue sucks, its no wonder my body is falling apart" the thing keeping my body together, isn't doing it's damn job lol
There's nothing more frustrating than learning about how everyone else's body works, and then finding out that yours doesn't do that, which makes your life ten times harder.
@@FireflyProductions I mean, sometimes you luck out and it's something fixable. I have Growth Hormone deficiency, but was able to treat it with nightly injections of lab made growth hormone. Still irritating, cause now I have to wonder if any inconvenient aspect of my life is due to a glandular failure or if I just suck.
EDS gang (I also have balance and motor issues bc of my autism)
This video should have been titled "Forest has Severe ADHD"
What a wild, yet very educational, ride that was.
I don't think anyone has ever accused Forrest of being neurotypical, or typical anything for that matter.
I think he's on track for joining the ranks of Carl Sagan, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and Bill Nye.
Please please please make more videos like this. I just LOVE the side tangents/rants.
Also, another fascia/layer of the testis is called the Tunica Vaginalis. Everyone has a Vagina(lis).
In October it become Spooky Vaginalis
although sometimes things are named before we understand what's actually homologous, so the tunica vaginalis might just be something that looks or acts like a vagina. it might be the corollary, though, I don't know. a fun fact is that genital surgery on transgender and intersex people doesn't add or remove any important bits, because everything in one configuration has its corollary in the other.
I feel like this vid is just an exciting rant by a child who learned a cool new thing in class, and I’m all here for it.

Good lord the outro lmao, certainly didn't expect THAT
Don't worry, Forrest. Even your tangents are super cool and fascinating. Wish I had a science teacher like you when I was in school.

I can pick up a coin with my foot. It can be done if you train your feet to do this
People without arms do that all the time.
I enjoy your videos like this, it's like how my mind works when trying to explains something. You started off "Legs are just stupid arms" And later on I learned about worm hydrostatic skeletons. Wonderful. Love the format.
Come for the knowledge, stay for the tangents.
This whole episode could be sub titled "Let Me explain". LOL
A couple weeks ago I pulled a muscle in my right, stupid arm
Alternatively: Arms are extremely prodigious legs. 🎓💪
That was a DEEP rabbit hole
love how the little fetus primordia look exactly like the primordia that you see in meristems of plants, especially the SAM and floral meristems.

As someone who recently horrible fractured their ankle, this was very interesting to watch
I had a butterfly fracture near the top of my right humerus about 3 years ago. It didn't heal properly because ortho after ortho kept advising me against surgery. I had the surgery t install a plate last year. I'm not scheduled for a shoulder replacement next month, but I don't think it's related.
Now I need Forrest to do a run-on explanation of cartilage.
I just love Forrest.
Forrest is a rock star and is destined to join the ranks of Carl Sagan, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Bill Nye.
When I saw the title I thought: yes! I’ve always wanted to learn how worms move and clicked right on it
Okay, Forrest is out here listening to some bangers, I'm gonna need a playlist dude! 😂
Love this guys brain! ❤
I have no clue what he is saying but i love listening to him say it.
My legs feel insulted :
😂😂😂😂
Honestly no explanation needed, I fully agree with the title
This video has a joyfully chaotic energy I was not prepared for.
What if… my arms are just stupid legs? I find my arms awkward and I don’t know where to put them.
I think Forest was stoned this entire episode. If you weren't, can you please do a series of lectures while you're high. That would be so funny.
I dislocated my knee and so if there is an opportunity to diss on legs I will take it every day of the week
Somehow, him repeatedly getting off on a side tangent helped me manage to stay on track
Haven't watched the video yet but I'm already sold on the video title.
Arms started as legs as we came from quadrupeds which means that they are simply legs but more evolved, therefore legs are less evolved arms, therefore legs are stupid arms. Easy
Having a conversation wiþ someone wiþ ADHD be like
Nice use of an otherwise discarded English letter.
I don't think anyone has ever accused Forrest of being neurotypical, or typical anything
Forest attempting to summarize the relevant parts of 6-10 years of biological studies in 20 minutes to explain a connection he made while he was mostly asleep. Love it!
I thought this when studing kinesiology years ago. I'm glad someone finally said it! I'm so excited to smoke a bowl, relax, and watch this.
I love how this whole video is the kind of ADHD rant with a million tangents I would give to my friends
I don't think anyone has ever accused Forrest of being neurotypical, or typical anything
I approve this unhinged Ted talk.😂
This video is basically a kin to/is one's tysm not being able to talk about one thing without conveying the context for each topic which branched off from the previous topics which branched off from previous context from the starting topic and I love it and relate so much
I hope “Let Me Explain” will be a series ‘cause I’m already interested in seeing another one!

New drinking game: Take a shot everytime Forrest says "Let me explain!". My condolences to your liver and kidneys. :)
specialized ≠ stupid, seems like a limb/organ mastering its function would be smart. you have an uphill argument, but i'm excited to be proven wrong
As a ballet teacher, I preach this insight every day. I am constantly using my arms to illustrate concepts related to the legs. Dancers develop a conscious association between the component parts of the arms and legs early on and use our arms to visualize all kinds of leg movements. Most have the habit of using their hands instead of their feet when memorizing new material, transposing that material to their feet only after it has been learned by the hands. Correct alignments of the ankle and tarsal joints are also learned by using one’s hands to explore particular relationships between the various components of the foot.
I could go on for ever about the importance for a dancer to learn and take advantage of this relationship.
fascinating!
I love learning about a topic. And I love learning about a bunch of other connecting info. I’m so happy your brain works the way it does!!
I'm no expert, but I think Forrest might have ADHD.
