Its a pleasure for me to write this testimony about how i got my Genital Herpes cured a month ago. i have been reading so many comments of some people who were cured from various diseases by Dr IFA but i never believed them. I was hurt and depressed so I was too curious and wanted to try Dr IFA, , then i contacted him through his email when i contact him, he assured me 100% that he will heal me, i pleaded with him to help me out. My treatment was a great success, he healed me just as he promised. he sent me his medication and ask me to go for check up after one weeks of taking the medication. i agreed with him i took this medication and went for check up, to my greatest surprise my result was negative after the treatment, i am really happy that i am cured and healthy again.. I have waited for 3weeks to be very sure i was completely healed before writing this testimony.... I did another blood test one week ago and it was still Herpes negative., ,,so i guess it time i recommend anyone going through Herpes HSV-1 or HSV-2, HIV, HPV,Hepatitis B,, Diabetes, ex back,Cancer, Syphilis reach him through Email drifahome@gmail.com OR add on whatsapp +2349054764719 DOCTOR WEBSITE;drifahomecentre.jimdosite.com

I love this episode!!
There's a channel called Octolab, which consists of researchers figuring out how to annoy octopuses until they do something interesting.
Do that with humans and you get banned from the mall.
@@DigitalJedi The octopuses are doing it to the researchers ;-)
Once the researchers were surprised when two octupuses found a way to mate, even though they were separated by a glass wall!
@@megalopolis2015 Given the way they go about doing the deed, a glass wall is no barrier if there's a gap big enough for the tip of a tentacle
@@purplealice Yup. Like Tristan and Isolde, but with nearly supernatural procreative powers. :0)
I'm just glad octopuses don't compete with us on the job market. They'd do 8 times the work and just be thankful for all the fish. 🐙
4x. Not 8
You only work with one hand?
@@kylealexander7024 x2, if you consider the tentacles as replacements for both arms and legs.
@@beretperson true true but they all seem more like hands to me. Just my opinion tho
Nice reference to hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
Can’t wait to have my limbs removed and replaced with octopus arms
You made me imagine myself with octopus arms 😂
You'll have little to no control over them...right the video covered they have a minds of their own?
@@hunterc626 that's because the octopus itself has no central brain like us human. So yeah, we can technically have octopus arm, but still can control it like regular arm
You'll fit right in with the sewer mutants...Maybe even get some Leela tang.
@@ArawnOfAnnwn hence the word "technically"

Finally! A notice about octopus that isn't from a cooking channel.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I gave up eating them, in honor of their intellect... and suddenly people started inviting out for Peruvian food (I'm not in Peru... lol)

I can't stop rewatching this. I am just amazed by these creatures. They are absolutely spectacular in so many ways. Thank you for this, nature is awesome!! 👍
Yep
Still watching it?
@@ericsilver9401 Eric, I'm up to 1,095 times... I'm trapped, you must help. It sucked me in with its whimsical color changing chromatophores and self aware appendages but now its impossible to stop. The insidious plan of using Sci Show as it's transport mechanism for its evil message has captured me. Damn you Octopus......daaaammmnn yooouuu.
big fan of octopuses and all cephalopods in general, but cuttlefish are still the coolest
Yes thank you 👏
Cuttlefish can change their body color to match their surroundings, despite the fact that they are actually colorblind. They can be tricked into changing to the wrong color but not in a way that is likely to occur in nature.

It's actually accepted by scientists that it's Octopuses
Blæksprutte (ink squirter) in Danish. Put an r on the end of it - and it's in plural 🐙🦑🐙 the term also covers cuttlefish and squids!
@@son-tchori7085 You really go through these comments correcting people with the wrong example eh?
Love Octopus, both as good and as the beautifull and smart creautures they are.
Who knew I wanted 8 octopus facts in this day and quarantine. Not me, but I sure am glad I have it now.
How could anyone not love octopuses. They are SO COOL!
Haha😆😆😆😆😆
@@DrMAHMMuseumAtHomeinMusic What's so funny?
@@daisytwotoes The way of your talking is so cute. So I smiled. I like octopus for a couple of reasons from when I was young.
@@DrMAHMMuseumAtHomeinMusicAw, shucks. Keep smiling.
Yeah! octopi are just so interesting and beautiful. Land animals are cool too but there's just something different about octopi.
I was in the Far East and I went into a restaurant and I ordered octopus and the waiter said: "It takes four hours." I asked why and he said: "It keeps turning off the gas."
😂🤣😂🖖
Ok I'll have the spiders
I don't eat octopus anymore. We don't know how intelligent they actually are.
In Basic Terms I don’t understand it
LOL 😂
All i can think is the possible neurological disorders where one arm goes rogue and just sticks to everything

Octopusy.
@@Ian_sothejokeworks I feel like he was trying to avoid that word😂
I love these creatures (I really love cuttlefish too), all of these were very interesting facts, and the comedic timing was hilarious. Love it and Love Sci Show!
One of my favorite parts about this channel is that they never clickbait us, no matter how crazy and ridiculous it looks or sounds
Yet you were lured here for the ads. They are trying to sell you something.
@@mikemondano3624 What?
I went snorkeling off the Australian west coast and the moment I put my head under water to wet my goggles I was staring one of these blue-ringed octopuses in the eye. Literally 20cm away from my nose, I then proceeded to back away carefully and find another spot to snorkel.
Good idea.
Of course they live in Australia!
Octopuses and crows dude. Just fantastic little creatures
A new documentary on Netflix "My Octopus Teacher" absolutely blew me away. It's a must-see. A box of tissues is recommended.
An Octopus with a gun in each arm
The snarky cat: "you're one short there buddy"
I always wondered what it felt like to be an octopus, with your arms acting on its own
I feel like it's similar to when you've got a sore tooth and your tongue just won't stop poking it even if you're trying to not let it
I wonder what the arm thinks of the octopus.
The same as your heart beating , your organs doing their thing. Even just the same as thinking. All involuntary actions by your body feel the same as an octopus arms moving on their own
Maybe something like Parkinson's.
@@gavinhillick Yes! This is way more mind-boggling to imagine! The far more interesting question for sure!
Octopus were too OP so Dev decided to programs them to shutdown itself when the quest over.
Octopuses are venomous? Giant squishy water spiders confirmed.
Yup spiders from Jupiter. Octupus from ...io. they can't bee ! That ! Weird ! ,And be from around here.
Wow. This... Changes everything
They also have multiple hearts and can regenerate. So, they are giant, squishy, Time Lord, water spiders.
The Blue Ring Octopus in particular has venom deadly enough to kill humans.
Ze Frank: "The octopus it's name from the Greek word meaning 'eight legged', because it has right arms. It is for this reason that it is also sometimes known as the floppy floppy spider of the sea. [...] Some octopuses are also venomous." Checks out.
The comment section is filled with *Octopuns!*
-8 points for you
An arms race, even
@@Beryllahawk gayest pun ever
My favorite number will always be octopi
Ahhh all of this is amazing, I was fascinated as a child when I first heard about biomimetics. I’d love to do this as a job 👍
Good for you😍👍🌺
"I'd love to be, under the sea in an octopus's garden in the shade."
I am endlessly fascinated by these creatures.
Sometimes I pretend to be an octopus. But then people are like ‘what’re you doing?’ And I just sit there and laugh because they’re not cool enough to be an octopus and I’m just like ‘Hah you’re just jealous because you’re not an octopus.’
You guys should really do an episode on Box Jellyfish. They aren't even jellyfish. They can swim (jellyfish can't actually swim, they float). Have 24 eyes, two of which see in the visible spectrum of light humans do. Are completely translucent, and can kill you within 50 seconds of the most excrutiating pain you've ever felt. People have literally begged for death. You know someones been stung by them in Australia by the screams, and they often die before help can even arrive if enough nematacysts fire off. There are varieties as small a nickel (no exaggeration, largest average is the size of a quarter) called the Irukanji, which fire small 'darts' at victims, that cause them to hallucinate, and feel a horrible sense of dread/doom, with death being possible within an hour. Though if treated, often can recover. If you get stung while alone in the water or tending to your boat however... I'm not joking about any of this. I really kind of wish more channels covered them. They're all over Australia and Asian coasts. Most bizarre thing about them, we've only known of their existence within the 20th century, so their presence is rather strange. I'm curious as to how they can hunt prey, without even having a functioning brain, and what evolutrionary purpose having venom that can cause death so quickly, along with necrosis and severe pain could have served. It's completely unlike any other venomous creature. They don't aim to maim, disable or neutralize, they want you to suffer to death.
For everyone thinking its actually octopi, this is wrong. The suffix -i is used for the plural forms of words that have latin roots. Octopus, however, has greek roots, making octopodes correct, although this suffix is not common, therefore octopusses is correct.
Even in Latin, the plural was "octopodes".
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/octopodes#Latin
Evolution and deep time is so interesting, for it's this amount of time that has made the octopus so sophisticated
"Liberate the meat from its protective casing". Such polite wording :D
couldn't have waited the extra 32 days for October?
9:26 "they can liberate the tasty meat from its protective casing".
Dinner *and* poetry! SciShow, you spoil us :)
This episode made me blush 🙈 always a delight when Mikwy hosts the show!
octopus: *are big badasses
cthulhu: *happiness noises
This show is making lockdown a little bit less boring :)
Sure does
Octopii (the 'uses' thing just seems clumsy to me) are phenomenal 🌟
5:55 is actually an educational footage about how to use a con
Neat video! Thanks for uploading!
Imagine how biologists discovered what the Optic Gland does...
Octopuses are crazy... They have way too many insane abilities. Like dang...
I love octopuses! They're all super adorable.
So the Mantis Shrimp has found it's contender...
A very strong one at that!
5:55 Oh My!🙈🙉🙊
Octopuses are amazing creations!
Wow, outstanding update!
Octopodes are strange creatures. I like learning.
Thank you scishow for the learning I love this channel
Should be retitled "An Octive of Octopod Oddities"!
Fascinating video.. I love octopi 😊❤
How to build squishier robots! Love the description!🐙🐙🐙
AY IM SO GRATEFUL FOR DISCOVERING THE GLOW OF THE OCTOPUSES
RadioLab had a fascinating podcast called OctoMom that covered the mother who watched her brood for 53 months! Highly recommend!
Thank you for informatic video! 🐙
7:47 talk about motherly love!
Anyone remember the octopus who juggled hermit crabs and was a general troll?
You mean the best octopus in the world Otto?
There is a book series called children of time, the 2nd revolves arround evolved octopus. Worth a read.
did not know ALL octupuses are venomous... now im even more terrifyied of the sea and the giants under the waves
Don't be. Their brain is a ring around their mouth tube and if you're too big to fit, they won't even try. Even a smaller animal that struggles could cause brain damage. You could easily 1v1 an octopus
Don't go near the water...hints from Wisconsin..
@@thesuccessfulone oh i could easyler win a fight against a normal sized octopus, but i dont want to get poisoned from the fight, or even worst fight a giant octopus (unless im thinking of a giant squid(the one whales fight))
Of all species of octopus, the only ones venomous enough to kill humans are blue-ringed octopuses (genus Hapalochlaena, comprised of 4 species).
"venomous" doesn't necessarily mean dangerous. Many venoms are targeted or weak. Only a handful of octopus can hurt people.
Lol, instead of us building Terminators that look like humans, octopus like robots would be way cooler and scarier :P
my favorite sea animal. They are such awesome creatures
These adaptations are awesome. Did octopuses adaptate to acquire them? Adaptating is something I need to learn about.
I used to like eating octopus, but then I heard about the octopus mom thing, and a few other tidbits of their badassery, and decided that the only way I'd feel alright eating one is if I bested it in hand-to-hand combat and wrested it from the sea myself. So far I haven't been drowned by an octopus, but we'll see. We. Will. See.

Very interesting! Thanks 👍🏼
Octopodes are literally the best.
Coincidence that CBS sun morn posted a vid on the awesomeness of Octopuses this morning?
Grammatically correct or not, octopi sounds so much better than octopuses.
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/octopodes#Latin
Octopus derives from Greek, not Latin. Octopi is incorrect.

1. They're Octo.
2. They're Puses.
3. They are land breathers.
4. They can annoy us.
5. They can remember us.
octopodes--my favorite plural choice...
Same.
Resting forever. ♡
it would be so cool to have an octopus tentacle as a prosthetic hand
So, it looks like robots are gonna have octopus arms and the future is terrifying.
Imagine if they lived 80 years.
So cool 😊 Doesn’t the mimic octopus also have genetic memory?
Genetic memory is a difficult to understand but surprisingly common thing. It's good for a species' survival. Humans have it too.
Yes, strictly speaking. Many animals have thoughts and abilities that are predetermined by genetics. It's where instincts and in-born reflexes come from. But it's not going to let you remember when your ancestor hid a glowing golden orb.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Yeah. But so far as I know, _no_ animals retain conscious memories from ancestors. That's not what people mean when they say genetic memory.
Mind blown!
That independent arm thing reminds me of how a swarm of starlings moves.
Rest In Peace mother octopus
I"m glad to see hes doing well.
Lovee the long hair on you Michael!!
No one here in the comments noticed that the pandemic has brought back mullets?
1) I love octopodes. 2) I have such a crush on Michael.
Octopus' sci-fi movies could almost be the polar opposite of human sci-fi, specially with their concepts of arch villains!
Man, and there are people out there that think any animal besides humans are dumb or 'lesser.' Just imagine trying to change only one of your finger's skin color and texture to match a blanket or pillow or something. If we were even capable of doing that, the amount of focus and control is insane. And octopuses do this stuff with their entire bodies!
I just imagine how the octopus mother's experience of guarding her eggs for so long must have been like. Living each and every day, for four and a half years, risking your life for the next generation of your species. Knowing it's literally your only chance to succeed in your goal in life - essentially acting as a vector for your genes to continue replicating and passing on the information they hold - so you *have* to do it right, or else your lineage is gone and you have to hope that the others in your species can survive. Though, I guess that's literally every single living thing past and present. I suppose that's literally what life is?
Octopusses are awesome
"Floated the idea." I see what you did there.
This is a great episode! Would like to see mroe content similar to this

yaaay! for my favorite animal (behind reptiles, in general, and eagles, all of which are behind dragons and other mythological reptiles)
and it's just simply amazing mow much we can learn from nature to further our own technology, from using slime molds for computing and road mapping because of their hunger fueled intelligence to an octopus' nervous system inspiring more simple and adaptive programming.
2:38 Gee, that doesn't sound dangerous or backfirey at ALL!
That robot arm is clearly an adult toy
They have power like Captain America, can change colors like mystique, regenerate like deadpool, and use newton's 3rd law (squirt ink in opposite direction or using arms to push ground) to fly, or at least fly in the water, and have lasers, not lasers actually but ink to shoot like ironman shoots lasers. And they are intelligent too. So octopuses are avengers of animal kingdom. Scientists are trying to understand how ant's exoskeleton works, but they should understand how octopuses work too, more than they do.
I feel like studying octopus regeneration for the sake of human regeneration is a lost cause. Not only are they waaay too different anatomically, but they can get away with regeneration because they have so many redundant organs and a body built to handle dismemberment. Of course they can get away with losing an arm, a heart, or part of their brain, because all of their organs either have replacements or are decentralized. That allows them to continue operating without any major functional loss. Meanwhile, their lack of skeleton and just overall squishy body allows different parts of their lost organs to regrow at different rates without complication.
That makes alot of sense actually. Even though complex, octopus have a simpler body structure than humans. Its easy to recover if your body is easy to make
That's not the point. The point is to study how they achieve regeneration at the molecular level, because it might give us clues for designing drugs or other medical interventions that can help us to improve the regeneration of our cells. This could be useful in all sorts of medical situations - extending life and delaying ageing, repairing any organ damage that is not immediately fatal e.g. neurodegenerative disease, nerve or brain damage, eye disease, growing organs for organ transplants, regrowing skin for burns patients, certain types of diabetes etc. The potential is immense.
If you're thinking of turning humans into Wolverine or Deadpool, that would be science fiction or fantasy.
But being able to understand and control cell regeneration would allow scientists and doctors to regrow lost limbs and organs with gel packs. Or regrow heart tissue after a heart attack using coronary endoplasty. Or regrow nerve cells and neurons in conditions like myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barre, Alzheimers, multiple sclerosis, etc.
Definitely worth looking into.
don't think we should live that long anyway, we harm the planet...
@@Cradily8000 it does make sense what they said yeah, but it's not a matter of complexity just a matter of squishyness. Octopus arms have gosh darned brains in their arms for Pete's sake! :D
