Fun fact: running at low speeds for a certain amount of time is less tiring for a human's legs, butt and feet, than standing for the same amount of time

@@matteofaccin6636 Ain't running at low speed just walking quickly?
Basically, I want you to tell me what speed (in km/h) is considered slow running.

I was a fairly fast sprinter when I was younger. One day I was out in the woods and saw this short, squat armadillo waddling through the woods. I started to sprint towards it, but before I'd taken more than a step or two, the slow-looking armadillo had taken off like it was fired out of a gun. I didn't even try to catch it as it was obviously moving faster than I ever could.

That animation will give me nightmares, it's 3 am here :(

The animations were indeed creepy and it should have warned me that such would happen.
To be honest, I'm always a little bit afraid to watch Vsauce videos at night because he almost always put some kind of creepy stuff in the video (if it's not a picture or video, it's something he says or the music). It's 5am here and I'm watching this quadruped kid walking but I just can't stop watching this channel (unless it's the "Why Are Things Creepy?" episode; that one is impossible to watch at this hour - this is my warning to y'all).

In my opinion, this is how you are supposed to teach in schools.
I can say for myself (and probably many others) I can learn more from an hour on youtube than a semester in school.

Michael, it has been quite a while since I started watching you and quickly I realized that you are one of the few youtubers that have never once let me down. I know that you usually point your sources at the descriptions but I'm really intrigue by your research process like where do you begin, what are your usual primary sources... If you ever see this comment, please hit me up.
Where he begins is asking questions. Watch hit Ted-Talk on in. Very interesting. And if you mean research-wise I don't think I can help you that much :/. Probably Wikipedia and then goes on through the sources there. That's my guess!
Have the internet browsing habit of someone with ADD, and then make a youtube video of it=Vsauce.

Imagine being the animal getting tracked by a human. It just keeps going! It's not even that fast! But then eventually you're just too exhausted to run away and you have to watch as it catches up with you and kills you. Humans are terrifying, man.
"Why do you own hunting weapons?? That's so cruel!"
"If you knew the alternative... trust me, it's nicer to sneak up on them."
We actually play ourselves, in part, with that fear when it comes to zombies.
Think the tradition slow shambling ones. A big fear with them is the fact they just keep coming. Don't stop. Don't give up. Doesn't matter how far you run, how long you run for, it'll keep following until you can't run any more.
@@Midwinter_Snow Perfect description for a stalker.
@Jehanlos Roman I was wondering if I'd regret clicking on this random link in the comments. I d i d n ' t
FURRY PREDATOR POWER!
Forget equippable hunting weapons, we ARE hunting weapons.
Another great example (which does play into the stalking thing a bit) is assassination. Understanding and learning about your opponent enough to hunt them down on their own grounds is a trait humans have had since before weapons. Duck call noise machines? Thats the relatively newer equipment in our learning and conspiring nature. Tracking through footprint, excretions, and other educational resources are an incredible skill humans have been learning for a lot of generations.
"The Most Dangerous Game" comes to mind. Remember that was a story of a human, hunting another human for SPORT, letting him go after successfully tracking him down the first time, the hunted human turned around and used some of our other skills (trapping) to fight against that, and ended up beating the better equipped, more skilled, and smarter (but not saner) person. Granted, that story is an example of the "Human" here not winning, but it is important to remember that probably wasn't the first person the "Human" hunted, only the last. The "Human" here also was hubristic and eccentric given how he tracked and if he wasn't making a game out of it (something hunting for food would not have to the extent he did) he could just have shot and bagged the hunted person right then and there the FIRST TIME he went hunting. It was also important to denote that humans were the most dangerous game. On a planet full of things that wanted to kill you. Humans.
TL;DR we are a group of minmaxed DND characters for intelligence and constitution, and we made it WORK for us.

@Thine Faithful Crusader just here to remind you of the comment you posted yesterday
@@Traeknald thank you
as someone who seriously never gets scared at any horror film, i had to change the tab seeing that beginning animation. i can't describe how or why it creeps me out so much, but it does.
Because from a modern humans perspective it is unnatural, therefore making it creepy. It also reminds you of a predator, at least instinctively any way. In Micheal's video about why things are creepy he mentions that the creepy feeling we get can be attributed to a now defunct instinct to sense danger.
Random Default i know, but it's so weird. it looks so unnatural and creepy and i know it's a natural response but jesus christ.
Uncanny valley type shit
@@reecetaylor2626 Whoo! *UNCANNY VALLEY!!*
This is the first time.. that at 3AM i am learning about butts, instead of watching them.
😂😂😂
Vsauce, answering the questions I didn't know i had that I needed to know
Not only do humans' unique bipedal movement help to make us more efficient over long distances, but it helps us to do things like carry extra water with us while we run. That's a huge advantage in itself.
So... we're like camels? That's awesome.
I actually meant that we have hands with which to carry water in bottles and stuff. I don't know why I didn't say it like that. :P
Well I actually googled a Camel's hump, to see what it was made of. And the hump is made of adipose tissue, which stores water, and it's stacked up on it's back, instead of distributed over the body evenly to keep the camel cooled off.
Our ass is where we store a lot of adipose tissue, and it's also concentrated away from our core. So maybe in the oddest sense, our asses do sort of act like a camel's hump.
I _guess_ it can, but I don't think that's what it's _for_. But that's interesting.
The most important part of the story was missed by the videos entirely. Humans cook their food, which means we not only get more nutrients because cooking pre-digests food, but it also means we were able to evolve, over the 200,000 years of cooking, a longer gut. Raw food is dangerous for a longer gut because it's more susceptible to food poisoning. This is why dogs, for example, can eat rotting raw meat because it passes through them faster.
My point is, humans are the most efficient mammal at turning food into energy. It's this more than anything else that enables us to cover greater distances than any other land animal.
"You butt is magnificent"

Can we please note how scary endurance hunting must be to the prey? Think of it this way: you're sitting at home, reading this comment, when a psycho chainsaw murderer walks through your door. You freak and run out your house and to the driveway. You think you're safe, but then there he is, just sorta walking towards you. So you freak out again and run to the edge of your neighborhood, stopping to catch your breath. And then there he is, just casually jaunting toward you. And so this process continues until you can't run anymore. All the while you know he's going to catch you, and you can only delay the inevitable.
I still prefer the fireballs...
