Blood letting is actually still a valid treatment for certain issues. It's known as therapeutic phlebotomy now. Basically they draw blood as if you're donating, if you're eligible you even can donate the resulted draw, but sometimes the condition that requires the treatment makes it ineligible for donation.
I had Anorexia as a young adult and being very mentally ill I considered the tapeworm diet but I did a bit of research and found out the larve could get into the blood stream and travel to the brain. After reading that I was sufficiently grossed/freaked out enough to never think about proceeding any further into that path of weight loss method again.
Not sure if I should be sorry or not, but these things infuriate me as I have a serious medical condition where I have to take in almost 5,000 calories a day to absorb enough to barely maintain my weight but I still slowly lose weight over time and it is a pain, LITERALLY to take in that many calories without resorting to crap food which makes me feel worse so I don't do that. Imagine how much food 5,000 calories a day along with a ton of Ensure or Boost drinks that is. And I still lose weight. It hurts to eat to begin with with Crohn's Disease. It is a life or death struggle so when I see people with eating disorders.... It just makes me mad. Sorry but also kind of not.
@@GeneralKenobiSIYE ugh my computer keeps deleting my reply so I will keep it shorter. I can absolutely understand. The frustration you feel when seeing people who have perfectly functioning physical bodies going out and seemingly on purposefully harming themselves. Unfortunately most of the time it is the brain that causes them to take such destructive actions. From body dysmorphia. Where they can not see their body accuractly even when emaciated, to sexual trauma where someone wants to make themselves physically unattractive (through gaining or losing extreme weigjt), to a fear of growing into an adult body rousing restriction/binging/purging as a form of emotional release to using caloiees and weight as a form of control in a life they feel no control over or as a slow form of suicide. Yes people with EDs technicalky "bring" their suffering upon their physical bodies. Unfortunately it is a mere sympton of how mentally ill they are. If you still feel like you couldn't show sympathy as you dont have the spoons in your life that is okay. Just please know that eating disorders disorder still require treatment and help from mental health professionals and that recovery is possible for those who get treatment.
@@GeneralKenobiSIYEyou realise eating disorders isn’t a choice, right? Also BED is a eating disorder, binge eating disorder. Not all eating disorders result in weight loss, some result in weight gain.
2 things: 1) not only were there detachable collars, but also detachable cuffs. This is why Mycroft in the original Sherlock Holmes stories had a habit of writing notes on his cuffs, because he could just replace them as needed without replacing the whole shirt. 2) You absolutely *could* use Nair on your head, but I wouldn't suggest it. First, it burns, just using it normally burns. Second, you would definitely need to find a way to keep it on top of your head and only on top of your head because of things like your eyes and less importantly (or maybe more importantly, idk you do you) things like your beard and eyebrows.
Removal and paper cuffs on shirts is where the phrase “off the cuff” came from as speakers would frequently write down quick notes on their cuffs for what they’d want to say
As soon as Simon mentioned celluloid for collars I was like hmmmm that’s an astoundingly bad choice of material given it’s highly flammable and men were often liking to smoke. I am 100% not surprised it was deadly.
There was an accident with a mercury vapor lamp in my high school physics class. The guys who were at the table where the breakage occurred suffered severe eye inflammation, and were unable to see for a few days. Scary as hell.
Simon, get the writers of BB to write biographies about each other and make the scrips into videos here, so they make sense. Obviously, episode one of the series, would be on Danny!

My dad once told me that he and his friends used to break old thermometers when they were bored. There was this shiny liquid inside them that formed little balls that quickly rolled around on the floor until they vanished between some stones. They tried to catch these balls but were never successful. I wonder what his dad would've said but he and his mates were probably too busy making snow-angels at the asbestos factory
Dear god. I worked in a Hungarian K-8 school for a few months and felt ill one day, asked for and was given the school Nurse's thermometer. I pulled the thing out and mercury plopped right onto the table along with broken glass. I'm glad we discovered it had broken a while ago when I was about to use it instead of some kid! I didn't touch any of the mercury and someone helped me get it disposed of properly. Mercury is definitely fun to roll around, but I resisted the urge to play around instead of rapid cleanup. Also, lol making snow angels in the asbestos factory 😂💀
Fingers crossed for the deadly nightshade eyedrops! ...My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. BRING ON A PART 2!!! Great job as always, boys!
Mercury is still being used in countries where women and men are still trying to lighten their skin. It's why I stopped using a SK cosmetic after watching a documentary that some of the companies do not know what's in the creams that they put their labels on. It's similar to the U.S. if it's not on the label the only way to know that it's not in there is to test it. I kept using a cream (just a brightening cream for old age) but every time I used it I had one of my chronic medical issues flare so I stopped, assuming that there was something in there (legal or not) that was causing the issue. Stopped having the flares.
I feel like it might be useful to note that celluloid was actually used in movie reels, but more importantly, as gun powder. That gun powder bit is important. This is one of those cool substances that, once it starts burning, you basically just stand back and let it do its thing.
I used Nair once. It took the skin off my legs and left the hair behind. These days I use an epilator, which rips the hair out from the root making it less likely to regrow over time. It hurts at first but the follicles become less sensitive over time.
Epilator: socially acceptable self-inflicted pain/minor injury. It's a similar sensation to getting tattooed. After a bit the endorphins kick in and sorta numb down the pain.
I used to work in an antique mall. The amount of times I had to warn people to not use the irradiated 100 year old stone water dispenser for entertaining was upsetting. I eventually made an informative sign explaining everything.
Or not to use the 100 year old wall paper found in the attic in great condition and still so vibrant in colour 😂..I love the patterns of art noveau,but William Morris was actually one of the last to stop using arsenic and lead in his dyes despite other manufactures having stopped long before.
Waxing is very common. It is supposed to hurt less over time. If you try Nair be careful and try a spall spot first. Some are sensitive to it and it can blister or you can break out.
I’ve gotten waxing done a lot, and I can confirm that it definitely hurts less over time if you’ve waxed that spot repeatedly, but it’s not by a massive amount. What will go up by a lot is your tolerance to it. Plus, it lasts so much longer than shaving.
When I was a kid, we would drive our cars right into the landfill and just toss our household junk wherever we wanted, instead of sorting it into bins like we do now (I live in Canada). I absolutely remember throwing florescent tubes like I was doing the javelin toss, and would watch them shatter
@@matthewellisor5835 I actually hate this. I'd like to be able to scroll through the comments while listening without having this jerk spoil the entire video by telling everyone what Simon is gonna tell us about. If Simon wanted chapters in his videos, he'd include them. This is just ruining it.
Great job, EVERYBODY!!! Simon, you SHOULD look into various hair removal options!!! There's more to depillatory creams than Nair/Veet. There are even powders you can mix with water, to the "strength" desired, and some of those are actually pretty damn good. Recommend you find a PLASTIC spatula or "pallet knife" (arts supply store) first, though. In fact, go to an arts supply store and take a look at the variety of their pallet knives, plastic or metal... I can't recommend metal because there IS the chance of sensitive skin reacting badly to being scraped with metal while plastic is a little more forgiving... BUT whether you mix your own from powder, or use one of the creams or pastes, depillatory IS one of the options... AND can be advantageous over shaving or trimming. It's also worth the warning TEST WITH A SMALL AREA FIRST... like your forearm... or a leg... just somewhere you don't mind applying first aid, and consider that your scalp will likely be a bit more sensitive than that before you go "whole hawg" on your head... even with the first test on your head, I'd recommend a patch first, and then follow up if it seems to work out alright. SOME people are just overly sensitive to the chemistry of depillatory creams. I'm lucky enough to be on the less sensitive side of the middle ground there... When I was horribly scalded in the military, I couldn't shave for MONTHS... and I still needed some means of keeping relatively ship-shape... SO I invested in the depillatory research, and that's how I came upon the powder-mix and plastic spatula that pretty well fixed everything. The directions are right on the side of the can the stuff comes in, and without the excessive scraping at skin, I could remove the hair completely and at least for me Twice a Week was insufficient to cause burns or irritation... and for the most part, I didn't have to sweat inspections and write-ups anymore... I DID keep up with the shaving relief chit (there's paperwork for everything in the Navy) but with my efforts there was a lot of relief given the other guys who had dealt with razor-burns and bumps. Some of them couldn't use the stuff, but most could... The thing is, there's just no good way to tell if someone's going to be sensitive to it. I'm allergic to just about everything and its friggin' cousins (for instance).,.. AND if there's a sensitive skin version of soap, laundry detergent, or shampoo or even lotion, I'd best get it, because the "regular" version is almost guaranteed to ruin my skin and drag me through agony... BUT for whatever reason, the depillatory powder didn't cause a problem... Still has a somewhat unpleasant odor, but it's certainly do-able. I mean, I was using the stuff on my face, and for the better part of a year, it didn't stop me shaving clean as much as I could... I just had a preference for CONVENIENCE more than anything to get back to my Gillette Butterfly razor... SOOOoo much easier to slather cream or shampoo on my face and scrape off the hair... than to measure water and powder into a cup... slather the goopy foamy stink on my face... stand around for it to tingle a bit and eventually work, and then start scraping off the half-liquified hair mixture with the spatula I'd dubiously denoted to the job... BUT for the top of your head... I should think the only imperative is to find a spatula or pallet knife that fits your hand and coordination to get at what you need without too much hell to play. You DO NOT need "sharp" so much as a good scraping edge. Even a butterknife would probably do the job, but the shape to make it convenient for your head would be the big advantage for time and effort... At the same time, there are devices for electrolitic hair removal, lasers and light bombardment, waxing and variants of the stuff, and I'm sure newer tech' is being developed as we speak or type about it... SO definitely do a little research on what's out there... see what you can order and receive and of course... GOOD HUNTING!!! ;o)
I used to work for a beauty company, and one of the products we resold was called "Crack"... it wasn't a drug, pretty sure it's a cream and has nothing to do with what's implied, but we always had a fun time trying to get it through customs....
Nair, if used wrong, even by accident (basically if you accidentally leave it on an area that has already had Nair on it while cleaning up for too long, ect.), you can get chemical burns. Used it once, never again. Waxing (even a brazillian) is WAY less painful.
When I was a teenager I had some NAIR, my younger sister thought it was my lotion and lathered up her legs with it, she didn't rinse it off and ended up with severe burns on her legs. I believe that was the last time I bought NAIR.
I will say Nair/Veet is a little thicker and wouldn't drip down into your eyes or beard (so long as you're not glopping on way more than you need), but because of the chemicals being used I wouldn't recommend using it weekly, as it may burn your skin, even the formulas made for more sensitive skinned areas.
once a week is okay and in the beggining you have to use it more often (than the advertised 3 to 4 weeks) since your hairs don't grow at the same time and yes these cremes are rathee thick and often do not wash off easily to prevent them to get to places where they are not intendet to go. the basic creme has a little spatuala for aplication and removal of the creme
@Lunch2391 Ah, see some parts of my body, like more sensitive areas like the face, I can't use them with any regularity because it burns my skin. I guess perhaps it varies person to person.
I'll never forget the time someone asked if we had any more thermometers since it broke.... I said no and asked where did it break.. i looked down, and he was holding a pool of mercury in his hand. I told him to stay still, and I grabbed someone above my pay grade to see and deal with it.... kid was clueless about why everyone was freaking out.
Dear god. I worked in a Hungarian K-8 school for a few months and felt ill one day, asked for and was given the school Nurse's thermometer.

Wow! I remember being happy when the thermometer broke so that we could play with the bead of mercury. Might have even broken one or two on purpose just to get the mercury. Oh, those carefree 70s!
While in nursing school, I came across the book "A new and easy method of curing the lues venerea". It talkes about adding mercury to the inside of the cheek so it could be absorbed. But then it went on to say that for women it needed to be applied to their labias. 👁👄👁 That was enough 19th century medicatiins for me
@@chitlitlah But the subject is "women" so they're talking about multiple "sets"; like more than one group of crows would be "murders", more than one set of labium are "labias". Source: Pulling it out of my ass. But it sounds right.
Simon, Nair is an American version, but Veet is also available in the US. And yes, you can use it on your head. Ask guys who were pranked with depilatory powder or cream in their shower head, because their "buddies" pranked them. And why not King? I've dealt with twin girls named Lemonjello and Orangejello after mom's favourite flavours of Jell-O, and a boy named Delirious. Buddy came across another young girl named Courvoisier... King sounds pretty tame in comparison.😂
Prince Rogers Nelson! "Prince" really was his name. Also, I went to school with some kids from a local Freedmen's Settlement who had the last name "Citizen". When their paternal ancestor registered with the Reconstruction Board, he didn't want to take his former owner's name, as was common practice. Dude was Malcom X a century earlier.
Thank you Kevin! I love your writing for Brain Blaze! You do a lot of research, so I trust you to tell Simon not just interesting but accurate stuffs! Much Stuff here!
Quick lime has historically been used to help dispose of bodies .The general idea was that it breaks down flesh into a kind of sludge ,so it's probably kind of extreme for hair removal ,effective i'm sure but extreme .
This is so weird. Just an hour ago I was watching a video about early telephone systems. They mentioned that the man who invented the first automatic switching device housed it in a detachable collar box. I was wondering what on earth that was. Then I watched this.
One of my former coworkers gets his head waxed every 4-6 weeks, just like the rest of the body after you've waxed your scalp the first time it gets less painful from the follicles not having the time to grow back to full size in between waxes (which usually take several months) (the follicle is the "root" of the hair). He said it was so much faster and easier than dealing with a daily shave & for him was also less $ overall than the shaving supplies he used to buy.
Omg, I was traumatized as a young child when my mother’s mother (I had zero bond with her the majority of my life) anyhow, she told me I ate like had a tapeworm. I had no idea what it was and after I looked it up I was horrified and I still have a phobia of them and other parasites. Now to call my therapist…😂
Oh, I also had a glowing pet rabbit as a kid. They had spliced in octopus genetic sequences that were pinned to other more useful sequences, and if the rabbit showed the glowing phenotype then the sequences had been successfully activated. Mine was one of the early ones that didn't have a nasty genetic disorder attached to the octopus DNA.
Ahahaaa! 😂🤣 A Garnier skincare ad cut in at about 20:10 into the video - just after the arsenic skincare segment. Perfect!👌🤣🤣🤣 Literally lmfao. So rare that UA-cam's ads get it SO DAMN RIGHT!! ...That was truly a thing of beauty!! 👌🤣👌
When I was in junior high school, there was a teacher who - actually, I'm not sure exactly how all this happened, but I understand there was something involving mercury from a thermometer and the class being exposed to it and the teacher wanting to use it to teach them about mercury rather than evacuating the room or even telling the administration or anything. I don't think the teacher really got into trouble or anything. It was like 25 years ago, but that's not much time as mercury goes.
All I wear is black shirts as well. People think it’s weird that my outfit is the same and never changes. I then remind them that all cartoons always have the same outfit and never change and it’s not weird.
Mercury was added to some baby's teething powders in the UK in the 1940's. My Dad nearly died as a result. It gave him Pinks disease and damaged his lungs. Add that to working 30 years in the coal mines and he died at the relatively young age of 62 😢
While there is some mercury in fluorescent bulbs, the quantity required to make the bulb work is absolutely tiny - there only has to be a few millibar worth of mercury vapour in there, so the amount of mercury in a bulb is going to be a barely visible droplet. Yes, mercury vapour is toxic, but you have to inhale a lot of it to see any effect, because it is a cumulative poison: A little bit once is not going to do you any harm, because the body has a mechanism (based on the sulfur-containing amino acid cysteine) for chelating to and removing mercury and other heavy metals. You can even take in a small amount of mercury every day, and it won't be a problem as long as you don't exceed the capacity of the body to remove it. That limit is quite low though - it's not hard to go above it, and if you do exceed that limit for a long time, mercury can build up to seriously toxic levels in your body. However, the more immediate danger from a smashed fluorescent bulb is the phosphorescent coatings on the inside of the glass. These are what convert the UV light (which is what the mercury vapour discharge inside the bulb produces directly) into visible light, making them a useful light bulb. You can buy similar bulbs which use plain old clear glass - these are used for sterilising rooms since they produce intense UV light. They work the same way, just without any phosphorescent coatings on the glass. There is much more of this stuff in fluorescent bulbs than there is of mercury, and these powdery coatings are more immediately dangerous than the tiny amount of mercury vapour. Then there's the broken glass - which for fluorescent bulb tubes is quite thin, and since any one piece will always have some curvature, can cause nasty cuts.
Simon is adorable. Celluloid is just a plastic material… that randomly bursts into flames. Women were harmed by it in the form of exploding hair combs and clips. I’m not to what happened to the guys collar’s yet, but Imma make a guess that… the celluloid burst into flames, as it does.
I just remembered that when ivory became "scarce," a snooker ball manufacturer offered $50k (iirc) to develop a synthetic product to make snooker balls, so someone tried celluloid. Unfortunately, when the balls made contact (under the hot lights above the table), they would often spark quite violently.
Can we all please start an petition, so he's gonna make a video of him in a beauty saloon getting his head waxed (and polished afterwards)? That would be wonderful...
Is anyone else hearing about how the collars kept getting taller and suddenly picturing men walking around looking like poor doggies that just had surgery?
The patricide collar was not strictly a celluloid collar, but a high collar with large pointed wings. They got the name from an apocryphal incident wherein a young man coming home from university embraced his father and his collar wings slit his father's throat.
A high school physics teacher of mine reminisced about how in elementary school in the 50's they would wheel in a giant tub of mercury and let the kids play with it, except the kids with cuts on their hands because that was considered unsanitary.
15:59......I see you Simon, I see you!! And I feel seen, lol!!😂😂 Eta 23:28, I was mid swallow when that baby monster popped up on the screen,😂😂😂😂😂 Kudo's to the editor on that one!! I'm one 100 mg of edibles, and almost choked to death!!!
If you want to depilate your head (which I believe is not a sane idea), I would suggest photodepilation instead (read the instructions first, of course). You will always have some trouble deciding where hair ends and beard starts, however, and it's easier to keep everything balanced with trimming/shaving than with depilation.
Hey Simon, depillory cream like veet/nair isnt liquidy so wouldn't drip into your beard. Its more like a thick moisturiser consistency, consider that female presenting individuals have/are using it for basically any hair literally anywhere on the body. I've used it for the eyebrow area as well as arms, under arms, legs etc it does however, stink even when they put "nice smells" with it.
Tapeworm diet, i remember that still being a popular thing when i was in highschool (which was only 10 yrs ago) and everyone was freaking out about making sure none of us kids were tempted to try it lol😂 That episode of House M.D. was awesome, the one with the yoga chick who had scurvy was pretty hilarious too 😂🤦
It is true: reducing your calorie intake and increasing your physical activity will cause you to lose weight, barring an underlying medical issue. It is also true that the diet industry makes money hand over fist by selling products nobody actual needs. However, I would never call it easy. It's simple, yes. Easy? Nope. Especially if you're sedentary, like I am after a hit and run accident left me disabled. Take it from someone who has lost almost 300 lbs so far: you do not need the fads. You don't need Keto, South Beach, Noom, Weight Wathers, or anything else like that You do need to change your lifestyle, reducing calorie intake and increasing activity. If you can't increase activity (lke me), you really have to control calories. I also advise--especially if you're older--to strictly control your sugar and sodium intake.
Mercury amalgamation was used as tooth filling material up until just recently. I had mercury fillings as a child, thy are now removed and replaced with modern filling material.
I kind of did the removable collar thing in the late 80's and early 90's when going to your Returned Services League required a collared shirt. Way it happened was I was out doing something and bumped into a mate, who said a bunch of us were meeting at the leagues club. I thought sure, and as I was wearing a jumper (it waa winter), figured I could get in. So I told my mate I'd join and drive him there, as they were all going to be there soon. But, they noticed I didn't have a collar, and so refused entry. So I scratched my head for a minute trying to work out what to do, when I remembered something. In the boot of my car I had an old polo shirt in the boot. So I went back to my car to check it out. Naturally it was in there because it was being used as a rag. When I pulled it out, it was covered in oil and grease stains and had strips torn from it. I had a few basic tools, including one of those cheap knives with the blades that you can break off pieces. So, I cut out the collar, being careful to keep enough material around it so it would stay in place under by jumper, including the row of buttons down the front. And because it was the collar, it didn't have much stains compared to the rest of the shirt. So I pulled it over my head and once in place, walked back in the club and was allowed entry. While I didn't wear it deliberately to the club, it came in handy when bumping into people who were going to the club so I could join them without having to go home to change. I did wash the collar to help remove most of the stains as I could, and it was a dark blue or black shirt from memory anyway. Once the clubs eased their dress codes so I could get in with a t-shirt (as long as it didn't have any offense artwork on it), I stopped using it. At some point I either lost it or tossed it out, but it did see a few years of usage. 😂
I'm always amazed at the people who rail against the FDA. They're the ones keeping unscrupulous businesses from selling this crap. Well, most of it anyway.
Yep. Nair/Veet will work on your head. Go for a "bikini area" formulation when working near the face and ears to prevent skin irritation. Beard hairs are generally too thick for it to work well, though if you go over the "safe" treatment time, it can help take care of spots you can't easily get with a razor, such as moles and the corners of the jaw.
In military, some men can't shave, so they use a beard cream that they rub on their face and it safely removes the hair from their face, so I believe if you find some of that where you live, you could use it on your head.
Yes veet is in the USA, nair is too. Also yes they are deilapitoey creams creams. Also veet might be fine for your head as it's usually for more sensitive area... But definitely don't use magic shave powder as it like most of them burn
Dude there was a research study on a type of parasitic worm. It genuinely helped reduce the occurrence of type 2 diabetes in those who are high risk and helps with complications from type two diabetes. A large portion refused to take the antiparasitic drug after the research study was over and they couldn't force people to take it. So I don't think they're gonna do another study like that any time soon lol
You can use the cream on your head Simon, you just have to wait a few days for it to grow a bit but it does work, not so much on stubble though. You wait 10 mins and take a shower and it kinda scrubs off. Smells like ammonia though. rank.
There are depilatory creams specifically for men’s scalps. You want to read the instructions very carefully, do a 24-hour patch test, and only leave the cream on your scalp for as long as what the instructions say. This helps you from getting red, painful, chemical burns. All depilatory creams have a lingering chemical scent, like a hair perm if you are familiar of that smell, even if you get a floral, fruity, or musk scented cream it will not mask the chemical smell. This may be why you never hear people using depilatory creams for hair removal. I recently learned laser hair removal of the scalp could be an option other than waxing. I’m not sure how painful either would be.
I wouldn't do the Veet or Nair because it will irritate your scalp. If you're tired of shaving go with laser hair removal. After enough sessions the hair will never grow back.
they sold necklaces with a little glass vial full of mercury at a county fair in mexico and in junior high i remember one kid busting it open and playing with the blob of mercury in his hand. he passed it to another kid while the rest of us watched in horror and awe.
you say that scientists are coming up with less harmful glow in the dark radiactive products reminds me of Nuka Cola Quantum and the corresponding research papers at the Nuka Cola factory in Fallout 3.
Nair actually makes a products for different regions, legs, bikini and underarms, and face. So check it out. You can usually find Nair products in the cosmetic section or just go online, but yes the products do exist.

Depilatory cream stinks, better of sticking with the razor. I tried on my face a few times (PCOS) and it didn't even get all of the hair off. I just shave like a man now! 😂 I imagine that if the tapeworm diet did work, any weight loss would be undone once you get rid of the parasite. With weight loss you need to make permanent lifestyle changes otherwise anything lost through extreme dieting or fads will be regained after going back to old habits. That said, I've considered some of the extreme diets because it's so difficult for me to lose wieght and maintain it due to PCOS so I do see the appeal of them. I seem to have to work so much harder than everone else and get tempted to try something that might accelerate my weightloss.

2 things: 1) not only were there detachable collars, but also detachable cuffs. This is why Mycroft in the original Sherlock Holmes stories had a habit of writing notes on his cuffs, because he could just replace them as needed without replacing the whole shirt. 2) You absolutely *could* use Nair on your head, but I wouldn't suggest it. First, it burns, just using it normally burns. Second, you would definitely need to find a way to keep it on top of your head and only on top of your head because of things like your eyes and less importantly (or maybe more importantly, idk you do you) things like your beard and eyebrows.

I am a cosmetologist..I'd say that the hair cream will send him to a doctor IMO
Removal and paper cuffs on shirts is where the phrase “off the cuff” came from as speakers would frequently write down quick notes on their cuffs for what they’d want to say
As soon as Simon mentioned celluloid for collars I was like hmmmm that’s an astoundingly bad choice of material given it’s highly flammable and men were often liking to smoke. I am 100% not surprised it was deadly.
Yeah... I thought about all those massive spontaneous film fires of the past and thought... THAT SHIT WHEN AROUND THE NECK?!?!!

Was this... was this a tangent-less blaze? The horror, the _horror_
I’ll bet Simon was so caught off guard by some of the crazy things discovered in the script that he forgot to go on a tangent during any of them
My dad once told me that he and his friends used to break old thermometers when they were bored. There was this shiny liquid inside them that formed little balls that quickly rolled around on the floor until they vanished between some stones. They tried to catch these balls but were never successful.
I wonder what his dad would've said but he and his mates were probably too busy making snow-angels at the asbestos factory
Meanwhile when I eventually die I want the deathcare people to extract the microplastic from my body and cast the urn for my ashes with it
Dear god. I worked in a Hungarian K-8 school for a few months and felt ill one day, asked for and was given the school Nurse's thermometer. I pulled the thing out and mercury plopped right onto the table along with broken glass.
I'm glad we discovered it had broken a while ago when I was about to use it instead of some kid! I didn't touch any of the mercury and someone helped me get it disposed of properly. Mercury is definitely fun to roll around, but I resisted the urge to play around instead of rapid cleanup.
Also, lol making snow angels in the asbestos factory 😂💀
Fingers crossed for the deadly nightshade eyedrops!
...My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. BRING ON A PART 2!!! Great job as always, boys!
they were only deadly if you died

Mercury is still being used in countries where women and men are still trying to lighten their skin. It's why I stopped using a SK cosmetic after watching a documentary that some of the companies do not know what's in the creams that they put their labels on. It's similar to the U.S. if it's not on the label the only way to know that it's not in there is to test it. I kept using a cream (just a brightening cream for old age) but every time I used it I had one of my chronic medical issues flare so I stopped, assuming that there was something in there (legal or not) that was causing the issue. Stopped having the flares.
I feel like it might be useful to note that celluloid was actually used in movie reels, but more importantly, as gun powder. That gun powder bit is important. This is one of those cool substances that, once it starts burning, you basically just stand back and let it do its thing.
What I got from that opening is that Simon is naked from the waste down, and he is rich enough to own multiple blazers/jackets (like a King!).
I used Nair once. It took the skin off my legs and left the hair behind. These days I use an epilator, which rips the hair out from the root making it less likely to regrow over time. It hurts at first but the follicles become less sensitive over time.
To say it hurts is a huge understatement 😂🤣
This is bullshit. Quit lying on the internet.
I'd rather just be hairy than damage my hair follicles over and over. Those things can also cause nerve damage. So be careful
Epilator: socially acceptable self-inflicted pain/minor injury. It's a similar sensation to getting tattooed. After a bit the endorphins kick in and sorta numb down the pain.
@@rmeredithm yup. I can take waxing but epilators are a whole other world of pain.
I used to work in an antique mall. The amount of times I had to warn people to not use the irradiated 100 year old stone water dispenser for entertaining was upsetting. I eventually made an informative sign explaining everything.
Or not to use the 100 year old wall paper found in the attic in great condition and still so vibrant in colour 😂..I love the patterns of art noveau,but William Morris was actually one of the last to stop using arsenic and lead in his dyes despite other manufactures having stopped long before.
New Brain Blaze AND Casual Criminalist on the same day is the best.
There's an Into the Shadows too.
Waxing is very common. It is supposed to hurt less over time. If you try Nair be careful and try a spall spot first. Some are sensitive to it and it can blister or you can break out.
I’ve gotten waxing done a lot, and I can confirm that it definitely hurts less over time if you’ve waxed that spot repeatedly, but it’s not by a massive amount. What will go up by a lot is your tolerance to it. Plus, it lasts so much longer than shaving.
Laser hair removal is the way to go. Initially expensive but removes the hair almost permanently.
I had my chest hair waxed for charity. Its really not bad
When I was a kid, we would drive our cars right into the landfill and just toss our household junk wherever we wanted, instead of sorting it into bins like we do now (I live in Canada). I absolutely remember throwing florescent tubes like I was doing the javelin toss, and would watch them shatter

@@cleverusername9369 opinion noted.
Great job, EVERYBODY!!!
Simon, you SHOULD look into various hair removal options!!! There's more to depillatory creams than Nair/Veet. There are even powders you can mix with water, to the "strength" desired, and some of those are actually pretty damn good. Recommend you find a PLASTIC spatula or "pallet knife" (arts supply store) first, though. In fact, go to an arts supply store and take a look at the variety of their pallet knives, plastic or metal... I can't recommend metal because there IS the chance of sensitive skin reacting badly to being scraped with metal while plastic is a little more forgiving...
BUT whether you mix your own from powder, or use one of the creams or pastes, depillatory IS one of the options... AND can be advantageous over shaving or trimming. It's also worth the warning TEST WITH A SMALL AREA FIRST... like your forearm... or a leg... just somewhere you don't mind applying first aid, and consider that your scalp will likely be a bit more sensitive than that before you go "whole hawg" on your head... even with the first test on your head, I'd recommend a patch first, and then follow up if it seems to work out alright.
SOME people are just overly sensitive to the chemistry of depillatory creams. I'm lucky enough to be on the less sensitive side of the middle ground there... When I was horribly scalded in the military, I couldn't shave for MONTHS... and I still needed some means of keeping relatively ship-shape... SO I invested in the depillatory research, and that's how I came upon the powder-mix and plastic spatula that pretty well fixed everything. The directions are right on the side of the can the stuff comes in, and without the excessive scraping at skin, I could remove the hair completely and at least for me Twice a Week was insufficient to cause burns or irritation... and for the most part, I didn't have to sweat inspections and write-ups anymore... I DID keep up with the shaving relief chit (there's paperwork for everything in the Navy) but with my efforts there was a lot of relief given the other guys who had dealt with razor-burns and bumps. Some of them couldn't use the stuff, but most could...
The thing is, there's just no good way to tell if someone's going to be sensitive to it. I'm allergic to just about everything and its friggin' cousins (for instance).,.. AND if there's a sensitive skin version of soap, laundry detergent, or shampoo or even lotion, I'd best get it, because the "regular" version is almost guaranteed to ruin my skin and drag me through agony... BUT for whatever reason, the depillatory powder didn't cause a problem... Still has a somewhat unpleasant odor, but it's certainly do-able. I mean, I was using the stuff on my face, and for the better part of a year, it didn't stop me shaving clean as much as I could... I just had a preference for CONVENIENCE more than anything to get back to my Gillette Butterfly razor... SOOOoo much easier to slather cream or shampoo on my face and scrape off the hair... than to measure water and powder into a cup... slather the goopy foamy stink on my face... stand around for it to tingle a bit and eventually work, and then start scraping off the half-liquified hair mixture with the spatula I'd dubiously denoted to the job...
BUT for the top of your head... I should think the only imperative is to find a spatula or pallet knife that fits your hand and coordination to get at what you need without too much hell to play. You DO NOT need "sharp" so much as a good scraping edge. Even a butterknife would probably do the job, but the shape to make it convenient for your head would be the big advantage for time and effort...
At the same time, there are devices for electrolitic hair removal, lasers and light bombardment, waxing and variants of the stuff, and I'm sure newer tech' is being developed as we speak or type about it... SO definitely do a little research on what's out there... see what you can order and receive and of course... GOOD HUNTING!!! ;o)
I used to work for a beauty company, and one of the products we resold was called "Crack"... it wasn't a drug, pretty sure it's a cream and has nothing to do with what's implied, but we always had a fun time trying to get it through customs....
I really quite like Kevin and Dave scripts but I feel like it's about time for a classic Danny script.
Yeah, it's good to have a good same edit back

He gets shit over his writing off simon. I'd quit if were him
Haven't had a good 11 minute intro in too damn long.
Nair, if used wrong, even by accident (basically if you accidentally leave it on an area that has already had Nair on it while cleaning up for too long, ect.), you can get chemical burns. Used it once, never again. Waxing (even a brazillian) is WAY less painful.
When I was a teenager I had some NAIR, my younger sister thought it was my lotion and lathered up her legs with it, she didn't rinse it off and ended up with severe burns on her legs. I believe that was the last time I bought NAIR.
I will say Nair/Veet is a little thicker and wouldn't drip down into your eyes or beard (so long as you're not glopping on way more than you need), but because of the chemicals being used I wouldn't recommend using it weekly, as it may burn your skin, even the formulas made for more sensitive skinned areas.
once a week is okay and in the beggining you have to use it more often (than the advertised 3 to 4 weeks) since your hairs don't grow at the same time
and yes these cremes are rathee thick and often do not wash off easily to prevent them to get to places where they are not intendet to go.
the basic creme has a little spatuala for aplication and removal of the creme
@Lunch2391 Ah, see some parts of my body, like more sensitive areas like the face, I can't use them with any regularity because it burns my skin. I guess perhaps it varies person to person.
I'll never forget the time someone asked if we had any more thermometers since it broke.... I said no and asked where did it break.. i looked down, and he was holding a pool of mercury in his hand. I told him to stay still, and I grabbed someone above my pay grade to see and deal with it.... kid was clueless about why everyone was freaking out.
Dear god. I worked in a Hungarian K-8 school for a few months and felt ill one day, asked for and was given the school Nurse's thermometer. I pulled the thing out and mercury plopped right onto the table along with broken glass.

Wow! I remember being happy when the thermometer broke so that we could play with the bead of mercury. Might have even broken one or two on purpose just to get the mercury. Oh, those carefree 70s!
While in nursing school, I came across the book "A new and easy method of curing the lues venerea". It talkes about adding mercury to the inside of the cheek so it could be absorbed. But then it went on to say that for women it needed to be applied to their labias.
👁👄👁

I don't know what lues venerea is, but all I can think of is using mercury as lube. Damn it.

And yes, you can use it on your head. Ask guys who were pranked with depilatory powder or cream in their shower head, because their "buddies" pranked them.
And why not King? I've dealt with twin girls named Lemonjello and Orangejello after mom's favourite flavours of Jell-O, and a boy named Delirious. Buddy came across another young girl named Courvoisier... King sounds pretty tame in comparison.😂

Quick lime has historically been used to help dispose of bodies .The general idea was that it breaks down flesh into a kind of sludge ,so it's probably kind of extreme for hair removal ,effective i'm sure but extreme .
This is so weird. Just an hour ago I was watching a video about early telephone systems. They mentioned that the man who invented the first automatic switching device housed it in a detachable collar box. I was wondering what on earth that was. Then I watched this.
One of my former coworkers gets his head waxed every 4-6 weeks, just like the rest of the body after you've waxed your scalp the first time it gets less painful from the follicles not having the time to grow back to full size in between waxes (which usually take several months) (the follicle is the "root" of the hair). He said it was so much faster and easier than dealing with a daily shave & for him was also less $ overall than the shaving supplies he used to buy.
Omg, I was traumatized as a young child when my mother’s mother (I had zero bond with her the majority of my life) anyhow, she told me I ate like had a tapeworm. I had no idea what it was and after I looked it up I was horrified and I still have a phobia of them and other parasites. Now to call my therapist…😂
I tried Nair once many, many years ago, and never again as it left a chemical burn where it came in contact that didn't fully heal for several years.
Oh, I also had a glowing pet rabbit as a kid. They had spliced in octopus genetic sequences that were pinned to other more useful sequences, and if the rabbit showed the glowing phenotype then the sequences had been successfully activated.
Mine was one of the early ones that didn't have a nasty genetic disorder attached to the octopus DNA.
It's damn reassuring to know that those tapeworms were sanitized prior to shipping
People could have got bloody sick otherwise
I'm so proud that Simon said "lengthy' without adding an extra syllable. 🥇

When I was in junior high school, there was a teacher who - actually, I'm not sure exactly how all this happened, but I understand there was something involving mercury from a thermometer and the class being exposed to it and the teacher wanting to use it to teach them about mercury rather than evacuating the room or even telling the administration or anything. I don't think the teacher really got into trouble or anything. It was like 25 years ago, but that's not much time as mercury goes.
All I wear is black shirts as well. People think it’s weird that my outfit is the same and never changes. I then remind them that all cartoons always have the same outfit and never change and it’s not weird.
Mercury was added to some baby's teething powders in the UK in the 1940's. My Dad nearly died as a result. It gave him Pinks disease and damaged his lungs. Add that to working 30 years in the coal mines and he died at the relatively young age of 62 😢
When you spoke about the tapeworms it reminded me of Sean Lock on Cats does Countdown singing about them
While there is some mercury in fluorescent bulbs, the quantity required to make the bulb work is absolutely tiny - there only has to be a few millibar worth of mercury vapour in there, so the amount of mercury in a bulb is going to be a barely visible droplet. Yes, mercury vapour is toxic, but you have to inhale a lot of it to see any effect, because it is a cumulative poison: A little bit once is not going to do you any harm, because the body has a mechanism (based on the sulfur-containing amino acid cysteine) for chelating to and removing mercury and other heavy metals. You can even take in a small amount of mercury every day, and it won't be a problem as long as you don't exceed the capacity of the body to remove it. That limit is quite low though - it's not hard to go above it, and if you do exceed that limit for a long time, mercury can build up to seriously toxic levels in your body.
However, the more immediate danger from a smashed fluorescent bulb is the phosphorescent coatings on the inside of the glass. These are what convert the UV light (which is what the mercury vapour discharge inside the bulb produces directly) into visible light, making them a useful light bulb. You can buy similar bulbs which use plain old clear glass - these are used for sterilising rooms since they produce intense UV light. They work the same way, just without any phosphorescent coatings on the glass. There is much more of this stuff in fluorescent bulbs than there is of mercury, and these powdery coatings are more immediately dangerous than the tiny amount of mercury vapour. Then there's the broken glass - which for fluorescent bulb tubes is quite thin, and since any one piece will always have some curvature, can cause nasty cuts.
Simon is adorable. Celluloid is just a plastic material… that randomly bursts into flames. Women were harmed by it in the form of exploding hair combs and clips. I’m not to what happened to the guys collar’s yet, but Imma make a guess that… the celluloid burst into flames, as it does.
Old film was made of celluloid and needed to be stored at lowish room temperature or 🔥.
It was also moving picture film. Movie houses could only house a limited number of reels in one area lest the combust and spread.
I just remembered that when ivory became "scarce," a snooker ball manufacturer offered $50k (iirc) to develop a synthetic product to make snooker balls, so someone tried celluloid. Unfortunately, when the balls made contact (under the hot lights above the table), they would often spark quite violently.
Billiards and snooker certainly became less exciting sports after cellulose balls were replaced.

The patricide collar was not strictly a celluloid collar, but a high collar with large pointed wings. They got the name from an apocryphal incident wherein a young man coming home from university embraced his father and his collar wings slit his father's throat.
You can use Nair on your head, just make sure to get the version listed "for Face".
A high school physics teacher of mine reminisced about how in elementary school in the 50's they would wheel in a giant tub of mercury and let the kids play with it, except the kids with cuts on their hands because that was considered unsanitary.

If you want to depilate your head (which I believe is not a sane idea), I would suggest photodepilation instead (read the instructions first, of course). You will always have some trouble deciding where hair ends and beard starts, however, and it's easier to keep everything balanced with trimming/shaving than with depilation.
Hey Simon, depillory cream like veet/nair isnt liquidy so wouldn't drip into your beard. Its more like a thick moisturiser consistency, consider that female presenting individuals have/are using it for basically any hair literally anywhere on the body. I've used it for the eyebrow area as well as arms, under arms, legs etc it does however, stink even when they put "nice smells" with it.
you know some men don't wanna be hairy too.... and some women don't care if they're hairy....

It is true: reducing your calorie intake and increasing your physical activity will cause you to lose weight, barring an underlying medical issue. It is also true that the diet industry makes money hand over fist by selling products nobody actual needs. However, I would never call it easy. It's simple, yes. Easy? Nope. Especially if you're sedentary, like I am after a hit and run accident left me disabled. Take it from someone who has lost almost 300 lbs so far: you do not need the fads. You don't need Keto, South Beach, Noom, Weight Wathers, or anything else like that You do need to change your lifestyle, reducing calorie intake and increasing activity. If you can't increase activity (lke me), you really have to control calories. I also advise--especially if you're older--to strictly control your sugar and sodium intake.
Mercury amalgamation was used as tooth filling material up until just recently. I had mercury fillings as a child, thy are now removed and replaced with modern filling material.

I kind of did the removable collar thing in the late 80's and early 90's when going to your Returned Services League required a collared shirt.
Way it happened was I was out doing something and bumped into a mate, who said a bunch of us were meeting at the leagues club. I thought sure, and as I was wearing a jumper (it waa winter), figured I could get in. So I told my mate I'd join and drive him there, as they were all going to be there soon.
But, they noticed I didn't have a collar, and so refused entry. So I scratched my head for a minute trying to work out what to do, when I remembered something.
In the boot of my car I had an old polo shirt in the boot. So I went back to my car to check it out. Naturally it was in there because it was being used as a rag.
When I pulled it out, it was covered in oil and grease stains and had strips torn from it. I had a few basic tools, including one of those cheap knives with the blades that you can break off pieces.
So, I cut out the collar, being careful to keep enough material around it so it would stay in place under by jumper, including the row of buttons down the front. And because it was the collar, it didn't have much stains compared to the rest of the shirt.
So I pulled it over my head and once in place, walked back in the club and was allowed entry.
While I didn't wear it deliberately to the club, it came in handy when bumping into people who were going to the club so I could join them without having to go home to change.
I did wash the collar to help remove most of the stains as I could, and it was a dark blue or black shirt from memory anyway.
Once the clubs eased their dress codes so I could get in with a t-shirt (as long as it didn't have any offense artwork on it), I stopped using it. At some point I either lost it or tossed it out, but it did see a few years of usage. 😂
I'm always amazed at the people who rail against the FDA. They're the ones keeping unscrupulous businesses from selling this crap. Well, most of it anyway.
Yep. Nair/Veet will work on your head. Go for a "bikini area" formulation when working near the face and ears to prevent skin irritation. Beard hairs are generally too thick for it to work well, though if you go over the "safe" treatment time, it can help take care of spots you can't easily get with a razor, such as moles and the corners of the jaw.
In military, some men can't shave, so they use a beard cream that they rub on their face and it safely removes the hair from their face, so I believe if you find some of that where you live, you could use it on your head.
the radium condom probably actually worked really well.
Yes veet is in the USA, nair is too. Also yes they are deilapitoey creams creams. Also veet might be fine for your head as it's usually for more sensitive area... But definitely don't use magic shave powder as it like most of them burn
Dude there was a research study on a type of parasitic worm. It genuinely helped reduce the occurrence of type 2 diabetes in those who are high risk and helps with complications from type two diabetes. A large portion refused to take the antiparasitic drug after the research study was over and they couldn't force people to take it. So I don't think they're gonna do another study like that any time soon lol
You can use the cream on your head Simon, you just have to wait a few days for it to grow a bit but it does work, not so much on stubble though. You wait 10 mins and take a shower and it kinda scrubs off. Smells like ammonia though. rank.
God the smell is bad
😂 when Simon said "I'm disgusted by my own body" I immediately thought- oh he must've not seen osmosis jones, he'd cringe at that movie!
i love Sam's work.
Yes you can use veet on pretty much anywhere. I used to use it on my beard to get a shave without a shadow.
There are depilatory creams specifically for men’s scalps. You want to read the instructions very carefully, do a 24-hour patch test, and only leave the cream on your scalp for as long as what the instructions say. This helps you from getting red, painful, chemical burns. All depilatory creams have a lingering chemical scent, like a hair perm if you are familiar of that smell, even if you get a floral, fruity, or musk scented cream it will not mask the chemical smell. This may be why you never hear people using depilatory creams for hair removal. I recently learned laser hair removal of the scalp could be an option other than waxing. I’m not sure how painful either would be.
Some true vintage memes popping up, love it!
LOL, "did you write this video in 2019, Kevin?"
18:07 you could use Nair in combination with shaving. Can’t put all your eggs on a single horse, Simon.
I wouldn't do the Veet or Nair because it will irritate your scalp. If you're tired of shaving go with laser hair removal. After enough sessions the hair will never grow back.
Kevin is back! Yay, Kevin!
Thanks!❤
they sold necklaces with a little glass vial full of mercury at a county fair in mexico and in junior high i remember one kid busting it open and playing with the blob of mercury in his hand. he passed it to another kid while the rest of us watched in horror and awe.
you say that scientists are coming up with less harmful glow in the dark radiactive products reminds me of Nuka Cola Quantum and the corresponding research papers at the Nuka Cola factory in Fallout 3.
The fact that Simon used a clip from the Hazbin Hotel crew is based 😂👌

Recap by Tammy AI
You can use cream on your head, my dad has been using it for is beard since I was a kid, no issues yet!
That random Jurassic park clip cracked me up!
And if those pills have more than one tapeworm egg, be prepared for the next horror movie to happen in your toilet.
Depilatory cream stinks, better of sticking with the razor. I tried on my face a few times (PCOS) and it didn't even get all of the hair off. I just shave like a man now! 😂
I imagine that if the tapeworm diet did work, any weight loss would be undone once you get rid of the parasite. With weight loss you need to make permanent lifestyle changes otherwise anything lost through extreme dieting or fads will be regained after going back to old habits. That said, I've considered some of the extreme diets because it's so difficult for me to lose wieght and maintain it due to PCOS so I do see the appeal of them. I seem to have to work so much harder than everone else and get tempted to try something that might accelerate my weightloss.
Many people don't know that arsenic is used as a preservative in treated lumber. Your supposed to use PPE when working with it .
