"How do you feel today?" "Stoically handsome." LOL
Márcia Nakajima xD
Lol
"How do you feel today? Happy? Desolate? Sad?"
you boy

Can i drink my tears to get my daily nutrients
No, because you already used nutrients to produce those tears.
PuffyRainbowCloud what a twist
no, but if you make enough children cry you can distill the essence of their tears into a pain-relief potion.
I do that
It's ok, I thought that for a split second too when he said there were proteins in them lol
I cry when I'm angry or frustrated... Way more than I do when I'm sad or happy. I always assumed it was a response to being overwhelmed with emotions. I also cry when I laugh a lot and have a hard time breathing. I cry a lot.
Lol me too, I've noticed that lately.
Sometimes I get so irritated at being ignored by my peers that I cry. I probably look pathetic but oh well.
Same! XDXD
What does it mean when I'm unable to cry at all?
Last time I cried was when I was 9 and our team lost 5-4 in a championship final (in football/soccer), still makes me mad till this day.
Person: cries
Another person: Why are you crying?
Person: *NOW I CAN LIVE*
Lisa Briggs same.
I just read the “another person” line in a “y, r u running” voice
@@bloodhunter4628 for me it was in a "why are you gae" voice
I start crying more when i am asked this question.
and Onions take advantage of that
Chaitanya Singh ONIONS ARE HUMON HATERS
Onions make humans cry to make them know that they produce emotional harm when chopped.
Onions are emotionally manipulative little bastards
Chaitanya Singh don’t forget those NINJAS tho
Chaitanya Singh actually onions cause you to produce flushing tears, not emotional.
We were supposed to lick our own tears as natural painkillers all along, we just forgot with time. You can also lick other crying people's tears if both of youare crying.
+ Enzo Is there any truth in this ?
zigzag duck lmao I really hope not, if I ever get a joke proven as fact I really wish it isn't this one. I'm not looking forward to science-approved eyeball licking.
ha ha Ya got me. ;-)
i was going to try to make myself cry to see if this works until i saw the reply
Hasoon nine for science?
4:13
Not gonna lie, but this was the perfect movie to choose. I appreciate that.
Actually made me tear up.
I loved that movie
I teared up :'(
I think coco could have been a better example but it would have spoiled lots of people haha
Frankly, I must ask, why _would_ you lie?
Scientists are still trying to figure out this form of crying ----> 😂
🤣
I don't think you will se that, but scientist can perfectly explain this "form" just using biomechanics.
It is a happy trea
Haha
crying laughing
My eyes water when I yawn. What's up with that?!
Doc Holliday same. So much that the tears roll down my cheeks.
They did say there are 3 types of tears. It's probably one of those.
-I think it could be a connected reflex response to the irritants of drowsiness. Like how yawning is a reflex of low oxygen levels in the brain.
But it could also be your eyes lubricating themselves in preparation for sleeping.
When we yawn our facial muscles apply pressure to our lacrimal glands making them spill out more tears than usual.
It's just a reflex
Me, it's when I laugh. Every fkin time I laugh, I start to have tears in my eyes. So I never really laugh because of that, I don't want to look strange...
1: *Crying their eyes out*
2: _I am here to help_
1: *_Now I can live_*
"How do we cry?"
It just works
Eyyy you again
Justin Y. Hey
Damn you comment on every video that exists on youtube....
Basically. lol
"it just works"

That Carl Sagan part gave me tears !! :(
4:03 "or when you're happy to see someone, because you missed them so much!" That was amazing, and really touching. Tells me something about the people at this channel too! I really liked that part as well.
We all miss Sagan.
Yathu prem Same here
Just imagine you walk into a room with a baby and it say “parental units! I am set upon by an overwhelming urge to expel extraneous gas from mine stomach.”
with a posh british accent
Lmao
We laugh, but imagine you really needed to belch or fart but didn't know how to control that. Heck, I sometimes STILL chug too much soda or eat too much chili and spend a few minutes with that awful, distended feeling, trying to get the gas out. It hurts!
Today i was so bored that i saw an ant and i put sugar cubes in front of it. It ate some cubes, then it went to call its friends. So i cleaned all the leftover cubes so that the ant looked like a lier in front of his friends.
Aasha Sable you savage
Hahaha hahaha ha
+Aasha Sable
You are anti-ant !!
That's very funny!
Somewhere, an ant has become a mad theorist who hates humans.
Elephants do cry as an emotional response. I've seen documentaries of them crying after their friends had been killed for tasks.
Humans are complicated animals...

It's very fitting how this popped up in my feed when I've been crying for the past hour. My mother in law is losing her long battle with cancer and today we decided its time to accept hospice.
@Bob Thompson Thank you for your kind words but she passed away 3 years ago.
@Bob Thompson No worries :)
I Like Hippos
Just the music from that scene makes my eyes rain! 😭😭😭😭
Siobhan Raccoon Me too. The sheer sweetness and sadness of it. That could be the movie and Id still love it.
Yeah, Spider-Man 3 was pretty sad.
"We are the only animals that cry."
But I've seen dogs and cows cry when they witness something heartbreaking.
Edit: I don't think any of us humans can understand how a non-human being is actually feeling.... And I think only members of that particular species that the creature belongs to can understand that. So we can't for sure say that we are the only animals that can cry. But I love how the comments have taught and will teach me some new stuff and I thank you all😇.
Horses cry...😔
@@keithadcock87 exactly everyone cries.
Only in india we give sooo much love to them that they inherit emotions..❤️
@@sarojsharma9858 nah it's pretty much everywhere.
Elephants too
Because I just jammed my pinky toe then hit the bed railing with my leg. Then ended up sitting on my phone and cracking it
"He who saves one life, saves the world entire" always makes me cry.

Thank you. Recently have read a book on emotions "How emotions are built : the Secret life of a brain ". Not about tears specifically, but definitely worth to check it out. Fresh look on emotions, that contradicts traditional approach to emotions. For instance, it says that hypothalamus is not responsible for emotional reaction, there is no single area of the brain that is responsible for emotions creation.
First Elephants were listening with their feet and now they shed tears too...
Chaitanya Singh u came from deep look arnt u ??
Chaitanya Singh watched in the same order
Lol I did the same
I lost my grandpa a month ago. Now I cry at like everything. Like a song I used to play when he was alive. When i hear it I cry. People don’t understand how sad I really am
Thanks! Now I have another trivial fact to flex in front of my teacher when school starts.
stfu you'll forget it after the video
xD ❤️
I rather communicate through farts than tears. Here. Take a sniff. I have a message for you.
Omg 😂😂😂😂
You need to read the book "The Androids dream".

It's Okay To Be Smart I never saw the Movie "UP". i *VERY RARELY* cry. I don't know why. I can't remember the last time I cried when I felt sad. *THE ONLY* time now I shed tears is when I'm tired or when I get dust in my eyes. 🤔 😞 😪 🚼 ⚠️

@2:19 Hey "Joe, Make faces for the next 5 minutes."
Elephants?
Fly Beep Fly Beep did you forget that humans are animals? Elephants shed tears but don't cry/weep audibly.
Fly Beep u came from deep look arnt u??
Zaihan Kariyani they do weep
Fly Beep elephants are the only other animals that are scared of the bones of there dead they also morn the deaths of other elephants
Yep. Elephants cry too.
That’s so sad… *_ALEXA PLAY DESPACITO_*
2:35 I've come to stick your fingers up my nose and mouth!
What do you mean that didn't help!?
It’s weird Mr. It’s Okay To Be Smart, I always tend to get dust in my eyes when I watch Marley and Me. You’re not alone
2:12
Who else started making weird faces
Me
Me lol
Me
wait, we r the only animal that have emotional cries! 😳🤧. hmm, we r special, therefore we should never feel ashamed of crying & regretting & feeling remorse of our bad doing.
Cow's also cry and elephants too. I have seen cow's crying when they're emotionally or physically hurt
Aww...
@Syed Rehan Ali Khan ever seen a traditional way of ploughing a land?
@Syed Rehan Ali Khan I've seen a dark line in bulls and cows under their eyes, it's due to tear flow. The reason maybe a response to the pain they get through or ageing.
@Syed Rehan Ali Khan you won't understand
Have you pet a cow !!??
0:25 - photo #3...I’d be crying too if I walked around with a ring stuck inside my nose.

true, i was very confused when i didn't knew they were seperate people :D
1:25 ah yes, protection and lubrication
wtf
i don't think there is such a thing as "crying out of happiness" its more like "crying out of relief" but im not an expert on that topic tbh..
I tear a lot when I laugh a lot
sure there is - ever hear the phrase "tears of joy"?
Uh... I do both of those very often. I often get this overwhelming feeling of emotion that I cry.
Oh, worm?
I cry whenever I experience an emotion that's just like... Slightly stronger than usual lol
Scared? Crying
Happy? Crying
Pissed off? Crying
Just think something is really awesome? Crying
My brain overflows a lot I guess lol
Same!
The people who don't empathize with tears are definitely not the type of people you want to turn your back on...
damn, how will i get new test subjects now that you warned them
Its called a psychopath
I'm a crying sociopath, I think. But I haven't cried in a very long time.
stanj85 some people can see when people are crying for manipulation
I don't cry at all. I feel empathy. I wouldn't never hurt my friends.
From now on, every time somebody says dolphins are smarter than humans, I will make them cry. We're on a whole other level than anything on this planet.
Oh! The dead pun man is back with a video.
I never had happy tears
nor i know someone who did
i thought its jst a movie thing
seriously, do anyone of you had happy tears in past ?
i cry evrytime
😂😂😂😂
xDDDD
i cri evetrytim

Interesting, thank you for sharing, although I feel like we don't know enought about why we cry, I mean we humans
When Joe says you cry “When your happy to see someone because you miss them so much” and it showed a clip of Carl Sagan, I actually teared up a bit.
You were one of the best Carl, the world will never be the same without you!
Your body also packs stress hormones into your emotional tears, physically purging excess stress from your system. That really seems like a better reason for the crying adaptation, to be honest.
Why do I get mad or frustrated when someone cries? :/ It annoys me that I do that when I think about what I've done.
"Why do we cry"
You human beings cry? HA! I cry CONSTANTLY!
HA!
Ha!
Ha.

If a parent yells at a kid to stop crying, isn’t that gonna make the kid cry even more?
Yup. Parents shouldn't even be yelling at their kids to stop crying, let alone physically punishing them for doing so(which is common amongst those types of parents), not just because it's counterintuitive, but also because it's not good for their kid. But sadly, as with many other parents who rationalize the use of unhealthy parenting methods, they do so anyways. And then they get offended when you tell you them that what they're doing is harmful to their kid, because they're too full of themselves to listen to any constructive criticism.
I have been curious about this
I don’t cry at funerals, but I sure do cry at random moments where it’s not appropriate to cry
😂😂😂 He made me cry out of laughter in the end!
I love videos like this one. Keep 'em coming, Dr. Hanson, keep 'em coming! 👌
I love, like really love PBS digital studios, specially this channel and Eons! The quality they produce is amazing, and it just gets better everytime!
Even as a 32 years old man, I wish I could cry my eyes out to relieve stress!
It takes time and feeling very safe to cry when you feel the urge but are out of practice, especially the "ugly crying" that really releases tension. Looking at photos/movies/letters that remind us of what we are upset about can be a good way to push past that feeling of being "choked up" but unable to let loose.
I just realized this is not John green lol 😂
Oh my gosh I love this episode! So we're basically evolved to tell others how helpless we are so we can stay connected. Also I didn't expect that footage of Carl Sagan, that was perfect.
I don’t know if I’m just very empathetic, but when he started talking about it being the most human thing we do, I felt like I wanted to cry at that.
Huh.
1:14 ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED
Yeah.
I remember hearing somewhere that when overwhelmed with emotion, humans expell the excess chemicals that create that emotion through tears. Is this true or just a myth?
Illuminati
Hmm.....
yep. they just can't
I found it hard to get weepy at Up because I spent most of the first part going "ADOPT. ADOPT. ADOPT. ADOPT. YOU CAN ADOPT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN OUT THERE IN NEED OF A FAMILY ELLIE DON'T BE SO SELFISH" which will, I ASSURE YOU, piss off the other people in a movie theater.
What about crocodiles?
Exaflare Bahamut my momma told me that they’re just sad because they have all them teeth and no toothbrush.
Exaflare Bahamut they piss out they eyes to get rid of salt
'Hyper Nova', they do have toothbrushes. They're called birds.
Also, 'Exaflare Bahamut', they have 'crocodile tears' which is a fitting metaphor for fake crying since crocodiles only cry to get rid of excess salt while not necessarily being sad while doing it.
We are not the only animals that cry cows do cry because of sorrow 😊😊 in my country that none other than India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Yess my india ❤️❤️
He's referring to crying as in the being able to produce emotional tears, which from what I know, only humans are able to do.

What is your current emotional autonomous perception? Extraordinarily sentimental and melancholic, yet also highly satisfied by my insignificant existence.

if you didn't cry at the beginning of UP your not human
its a joke
So I'm not a human now.
Eric Pham your grammar is a joke
Eric Pham I haven't watched up since the first time because of this very reason.
3:05 LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought that the chimp raised in California by a scientist that was taught some sign language, actually cried tears when she was told that her chimp buddy was dead. I don't remember anything more about this but it was probably 40 years ago that it was reported. It was extremely interesting to learn that emotional tears release other things like stress and pain reducers, also. Great video.
it didn't cry tears, it signed the word sad and moved it's finger from it's eye down it's cheek to represent a tear from a human when they're sad
Thank you for refreshing my memory. I appreciate your comment and remember it better now - and know that it didn't really cry.
RIP Koko
Koko, that's the name! And now it's gone, too? How sad for the owner and for science.
mary w she was a 46 years old ua-cam.com/video/iD_J1iAxKoo/v-deo.html
so the cows crying on those vegans posts aren't really crying by sad emotions? (honest question)
I didn't even watch the video it's because we have a soul
Top reasons why i cry:
1- something in my eye
2- something in each of my eyes
3- many things in both eyes
4- thought something was in my eye
5- angry
6- sad
Hi, I am curious to know why we feel something crawling on our body when there is no insect or bug actually on our body.. it would be great if you make a video on that.thanks
This please. I literally just jumped out of my skin because of a huge spider, caught him, put him outside and now keep feeling things crawling on me. It's the same reason I hate ants.
I'd assume if it isn't a nerve damage issue it would be a sensitivity issue from hyper awareness.
They do cry but can't make complicated facial expressions & sound. Why do scientists think they don't cry?
What about crying from laughing? That certainly isn't caused by strong emotion (I think)
Crying feels good. You "aren't supposed to cry, toughen up!" so when you're alone and you're able to cry it feels like a release.
Not me. I want nothing to do with a crying adult. Especially a man. If that makes me a sexist sociopath, so be it.
I think it may have evolved because we are the only animal that also has the ability to lie about our emotions. Tears being a great symbolic representation of truthful sadness. Too bad we have all these actors and online personalities that can even fake that nowadays as well lol
I think it's the overwhelmingness of the emotion.
If I get extremely angry (like once every few years - angry) I also get tears in my eyes. I hate it, because people think I'm sad when I'm not.
"Neutral? Ashamed? Stoically Handsome?" 😂😂
Kinaesthetic communication is as fascinating and influential as the word itself.
The beginning of up is amazing storytelling in my opinion. I really like montages and how they can tell a story with no words and in a compressed amount of time.
I literally had to cry at the end. My tears just go *snap* and they're on. Why
We’re not the only animals that cry. I’ve seen dogs cry after losing an owner.
Analgesia is enabled by pain mediators such as prostaglandins.
I didn't cry on watching UP.. but on that entire day I was sad and distubed
It's Been years since I have cried because living in a severely judgemental family so I have forgotten how
Literally I can't physically cry
I started thinking about Edd Gould and now I’m crying
He never deserved it.
