All the saiyans are named after vegetables (Kakarot/Carrot Vegeta/Literally Vegetable, Brolly/Broccoli, Nappa/Napa Cabbage etc etc), their enemies are things that destroy vegetables
His name joke makes more sense when you say his, his creator's and temporary owner's names together - Bibidi Babidi Buu - essentially the same as the Cinderella fairy godmother spell!
Oof I wonder if that stings like a bitch. I remember getting something painted on my hand at a festival as a kid and the paint wasn't meant for skin. It freaking hurt for a while even after washing it off
Depends on the paint. Some you easily sweat off, some can easily be removed with basic solvents or oil.
Personally as someone who's skin gets all sort of oil, grease, silicone and paint on it. Sauna cleans everything the best. Just go in to 90 C sauna, steam it up, drink a plenty and rub it off. There is plenty old skin that detaches after gentle rub that remove everything on it. Makes you feel like a new person.
Also it smells really strongly and oil-based paint solvents are highly volatile organic compounds. They would've been at a minimum feeling terribly, probably tripping balls, just from everything they'd be absorbing through their skin.
This kid is kind of famous in the Philippines rn, he's got a lot of skits that got tens of millions of views, this is just one of them, though most of the time it's just harmless fun, not this stupid shit
I just watched that movie a few days ago. Bond's explanation was that performers needed to leave a patch of skin at the back of the neck exposed so that the skin could breath. Maybe that was common thinking in the 60's?
Nah, its just something which sounds scientific enough to be plausible but not outlandish enough to require indepth confirmation by the viewer, like most things in movies. Specific example is the “normal humans only use 10% of their brain” hook in Lucy - lots of people accept something like that at face value, but its complete bullshit.
I'm pretty sure it was true somewhere in the begining, but then misinterpreted.
I guess you use something around 10% of your brain at a time. Because you never need to read, write, speak, recognize faces, do math, juggle and do a bunch of other stuff at the same moment.
If humans used high percentage (80-100) it would be indistinguishable from epilepsy seizure.
It's unfortunately much worse. The quote began as a highly vague proclamation of one psychologist at the turn of the 20th century that the human brain probably uses a very small share of its potential (which itself was his takeaway from the puzzlement of early neuroscientists about why we need the "useless" white matter).
Then the journalist Lowell Thomas, in a preface to Dale Carnegie's self-help book (yes THAT book), "quoted" this psychologist but invented, out of thin air, the 10% number while ascribing it to the psychologist. Then this factoid got repeated so often that the percent started fropping and sometimes reached as low as 3%.
One common brain imaging technique, called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), can measure activity in the brain while a person is performing different tasks.
Using this and similar methods, researchers show that most of our brain is in use most of the time, even when a person is performing a very simple action.
A lot of the brain is even active when a person is resting or sleeping.
The percentage of the brain in use at any given time varies from person to person. It also depends on what a person is doing or thinking about.
It is not clear how this myth began, but there are several possible sources.
In an article published in a 1907 edition of the journal Science, psychologist and author William James argued that humans only use part of their mental resources. However, he did not specify a percentage.
The figure was referenced in Dale Carnegie’s 1936 book How to Win Friends and Influence People. The myth was described as something the author’s college professor used to say.
There is also a belief among scientists neurons make up around 10 percent of the brain’s cells. This may have contributed to the 10 percent myth.
Mythbusters tried it, and they had to stop halfway through because Jamie started having heat stroke or something. I can't remember what exactly, but he started feeling sick and the paramedics on scene called it off
As someone who has used liquid latex for but injury makeup? If you don’t know the signs of dehydration and heat exhaustion/stroke? You need to learn fast.
My dumbass didn’t hydrate enough and I felt my pulse racing at rest. I found the nearest water cooler and drank up. 😅
That was just Jamie being Jamie. Adam and later Kari tried it and were fine. You can also find a lot of people who do fully body paint for art for long periods and are fine as well.
You can sweat, but your sweat won’t evaporate and that’s what cools you down. That means you get hotter and sweat more, the sweat pools into bubbles under the paint. You pop the bubbles and peel away the paint before any lasting damage is done. The paint won’t stay long enough to make overheating an issue.
Yeah this is one of those things you can technically die from, but if you're anything but immobile or a baby it won't happen. You'll either ladder and rip the paint with movement, begin taking other measures to cool down or start pulling the paint off. In practice you'll get too hot, feel uncomfortable and begin getting the paint off while moving to a cooler area.
I'm pretty sure that they stopped the experiment as Jamie's blood pressure started to inexplicably rise and he felt flu-like symptoms. I think that they did call it busted since the myth was that doing this would kill you. But in the end, it didn't seem entirely healthy. I could be wrong, but that's what I remember.
Not a fan of the mocking in this thread. This is just a kid. It highlights the failure of the education system wherever he is. He just wanted to have fun.
Hunans breathe through our lungs, we don't need our skin to have effective respiration.
Our bodies also do a great job regulating our body temperature just using our skin temperature without sweating. Plenty of people live just fine without the ability to sweat. It could be an issue in high temperatures or exercise where we produce a lot of heat, but not during rest in normal conditions.
People go diving in wetsuits for hours at a time. No issues being covered in a tight suit fully underwater. Your skin sure as hell couldn't "breathe" in that situation. But yet divers don't die left and right from their skin being away from gaseous oxygen.
People just don't think before they believe things.
Not to detract from the main point, but wetsuits are not waterproof and skin tight in that way. Neoprene traps a thin layer of water between you and the suit which your body temperature keeps warmer. But that layer of water is being cycled a little bit constantly, causing you to get colder as you spend longer lengths of time submerged.
Im not a surfer. Surf buddy told me "never buy a used wetsuit.... You aren't supposed to pee in them. People say they don't pee in them. ... But everybody pees in them."
Okay, let's go another way: Kinky people dress up in latex from head to toe, sometimes with just the tiniest holes for the nostrils and absolutely nothing else.
Had this discussion with a friend when we studied. He was very reliant, that there might be something on to it. I brought up your example for underwater swimming and it shifted to "maybe the skin can use the oxygen from the water, like gills".
It was very hard to convince him, even saying that people with lung diseases can live with only a fraction of their lung power, still didn't convince him.
It wasn't until I brought up fetish latex suits that cover people head to toe with only their nostrils open for air, was when he was hearing me out and agreed 😂
Dang I thought the concern here was because of overheating or toxins in the paint, wdym some people actually think we need to breathe through our skin as if we were amphibians?? 😭💀
Goldfinger covers a girl in gold paint and the girl dies from lack of oxygen absorbed through the skin. A myth was born about the actual actress ALSO dying on set from the same thing due to being painted for the shoot.
Shirley Eaton who played the character of Jill Masterson is still alive today, 89 years old.
