What If a Rusty Nail Poked Your Foot?

Without cats, Earth would quickly become overrun by rodents. Without cats, Earth would also lose oxygen. Even during the daytime, the sky would turn black without enough particles to scatter blue light. Additionally, many things on Earth would stop working, such as credit cards and online banking. The stock market might also shut down.

what would a world without cats look

like what happens if you swallow gum

it's the random questions like these

that keep me up at night maybe you two

so today I'm here to answer them and if

I miss any of your most burning

questions in today's video then ask away

down in the comments I'll be sure to

cover them the next time for now let's

start with number one what happens if

you drink too much water turns out water

intoxication is a real thing and it's

very serious

your kidneys can only process 27 to 33

ounces of water an hour if someone

drinks more than that then it can cause

swelling in their entire body including

the brain classic example of too much of

a good thing can be bad number two what

happens when you swallow gum I bet your

mom told you not to do it because that

gum would stand your stomach for seven

years but that's not actually true it's

only five no not really

most gum today is made from natural or

synthetic polymers most commonly boodle

rubber sure your saliva enzymes and

stomach acid can't break it down but the

muscles of your digestive tract and move

it along

and eventually gum exits your system in

a day or two in the normal way and if he

can blow bubbles doing you know that

well hey we'd like to hear about it okay

and moving on number three what can

happen if you step on a rusty nail

well you'd most likely scream at the top

of your lungs because of the sharp

intense pain but what would happen next

you've probably heard by now that

getting injured by any rusty object can

lead to tetanus tetanus is caused by

bacteria known as bebeto ah you were

paying attention no really

it's known as Clostridium tetiny which

is commonly found in soil dust and

animal feces all ideal places for rusty

objects to be found may be - the animal

poo but who knows anyway when this

bacteria enters your body through the

wound

it releases a powerful toxin that

affects your nervous system and leads to

stiff muscles difficulty swallowing and

spasms but don't worry a tetanus shot

kills the bacteria in no time number

four what if gravity something got

turned off things that aren't attached

to the earth in any way would fly off

into space yes including people and

animals trees and most buildings would

stay put because they're rooted in the

ground so you could probably hold onto

one of those but that wouldn't keep you

out of trouble because our planet itself

would most likely break apart into

chunks and float off into space

since it's only held together by gravity

too so it's just not your day number

five what if all cats just disappeared

you're lazy sleepy feline friend is

actually a really important member of

the global ecosystem without cats earth

would quickly become overrun by rodents

mice and rats would spread disease wipe

out ground nesting birds and probably

destroy green supplies so it might be

true that we feed the cats but without

them we'd have less food ourselves don't

tell your cat this though it'll only

inflate his ego that much more number

six what would happen if the earth lost

oxygen for five seconds hold your breath

since oxygen in the air protects our

skin from UV light we get sunburns right

away also oceans would evaporate because

water is one-third oxygen not to mention

all concrete buildings would collapse

because oxygen is an important binder in

these constructions the sky would also

turn black even during the daytime since

there wouldn't be enough particles to

scatter blue light ooh that was a scary

one number seven what if the internet

stopped working for one day a whole day

without cat means my worst nightmare but

seriously a day without the internet

would really hit the financial sector

credit cards and online banking would

stop working because banks wouldn't be

able to access and verify information

also the stock market would most likely

shut down and you'd have to say goodbye

to online shopping adding to this

problem transportation says traffic

lights that are run by computers rely on

the internet for updates yeah it'd be a

major ordeal by the way can you go a

whole day without using the Internet let

me know down in the comments

you neither huh number 8 what if you

didn't wash your hair for a year well

obviously your hair would get really

greasy and probably smelly too also

since the skin of your scalp won't be

protected by any products your hair will

become home to dust and other pollutants

in the air like soot but that's not the

worst part

no no no the absence of regular washing

will lead to scalp inflammation which

will most likely result in dandruff so

scratching your stinky dirty head would

become your new not so favorite pastime

hmm maybe skipping on the shampoo for

that long isn't the best idea after all

number 9 what would happen if you ate 50

boiled eggs in one sitting

ah you saw Paul Newman do it in Cool

Hand Luke 2 didn't you well if you

manage this stuff so much food in you

then you'll obviously feel really full

since fifty eggs have about 3800

calories it takes a lot of time for your

digestive system to break down eggs and

you definitely wouldn't feel very good

afterwards and get ready for the worst

hydrogen sulfide gas you've ever

experienced or simply speaking farts I

don't know about you but I'd rather not

find out what that would be like number

10 what if the earth stopped spinning

twice as fast

the most obvious consequence would be

our day lasting not 24 hours but only 12

and the day already feels short enough

as it is right but that's not all

hmm the surface of our planet would

become quite unrecognizable

since Indonesia and most of the northern

part of South America would go totally

underwater Africa would also split into

two separate islands this is all because

the planets centrifugal force would

increase leading to the water level at

the equator rising by 328 feet all this

water at the equator would result in a

huge rise in humidity that would cause a

permanent band of fog to appear also

we'd have much more severe hurricanes

that would spin in increased speeds - mm

not something to look forward to now is

it number 11 what if we all jumped at

the same time there are over 7 billion

people on our planet and their combined

weight is roughly 800 billion pounds now

that's pretty hefty so could all that

mass affect the earth in some way if we

all jump simultaneously science says no

all of our liftoffs and impacts would

cancel each other out resulting in zero

net force on the earth all right then I

guess it'd be a waste trying but still I

wonder if it'd be loud number 12 what if

we had no moon without the stabilizing

effect of the moon our planet would

start to spin more quickly even faster

than that scenario I just told you about

this would lead to two things first a

day on earth would last only about eight

hours which would mean there would be

more than let's say a thousand days in a

year second our climate would cheese

drastically resulting in extreme

temperatures and seasons and of course

since there'd be no moon to pull down on

them with its gravity there'd be a big

drop in the difference between high tide

and low tide levels the loss of

gravitational pull from the moon would

also cause the core of our planet to

shift a bit creating different natural

disasters like earthquakes and volcanoes

but alas we have our big bright moon up

there to keep everything in order
