Weird Christmas Video
-
how dedicated must you be to science to say "Ok, I will discover why poop floats, and what makes it float!!"
-
Wow I literally just spent 25 minutes learning about poop, butt for some reason I feel relieved
-
I knew SciShow would have a good Christmas special this year
-
Still doesn't explain how we feel the difference between having to poop and to fart and why we occasionally get it wrong.
-
I was in a class for Clinical Lab Sciences where my professor talked about collecting body fluid samples. One story she shared was of a patient from which they tried to get a stool sample. Each time they tried, the sample outgassed so much that the bag would explode before it reached the testing site. They even raced a sample to a clinical refrigerator and shut it in there, but the sample still exploded. Suffice it to say that this patient was a challenge to get a stool sample from.

Correction, all mortals poop.
-
Let us gather family and friends i say, to learn about a difftent kind of yule log this Christmas day..
-
I'm very concerned that a video about poop is over 25 minutes long
-
We are very happy to have an efficient septic system, which we respect, and we love the fact that it's eventually and essentially a poop compost system for our yard. Love and respect your septic! It will love you, too!
-
Hank's poop would always be Green poop..
-
I'm glad you mentioned the composting to fertilizer thing, more people need to know about this, as it keeps tons of useful material out of landfills which we are running out of, and so much of our soil is so depleted we really need the improvements it in China, raw uncomposted or treated sewage is used to fertilize fields, which is quite dangerous (so be mindful of where your produce is imported from!)

"Merry Christmas fans! Here's 25 minutes of crap for you to watch." -SciShow, probably.
-
I'm eating while watching this... I have no regrets
-
Mixing orange juice with Blue Curacao will turn your poop green, i found that out on holiday.
-
Everybody Poops is quite possibly my favourite REM song
-
Something interesting about E. coli is that because it's a very diverse species of bacteria, with loads of different strains, a lot of the time one that makes you sick may be a strain that exists harmlessly in the body of someone else - this is the main reason why it's so important to practice good hygiene, as just because the stuff on your skin and in your gut might not make you ill, it can easily cause serious problems for everyone else.
-
Pooping is for the weak.
-
Just the right scishow vid to cast randomly on the tv in the living room
-
An episode that is significantly more scatological than I would generally expect from SciShow.
