Transcript:
Comedy panel game podcast about weird questions with wonderful answers, hosted by Tom Scott.
While I'm here and rambling already.
Let me also tell you about my new favourite podcast. It's Let's Learn Everything. By Tom Lum, Ella Hubber, and Caroline Roper. IT'S FUCKING AMAZING
It's singlehandedly completely managed to revive my love for science and motivation to keep going and researching and everything.
Things are progressing a bit slowly but steadily for sure. It's just three friends talking about science and learning and having fun. And it encapsulated everything I love about knowledge and academics and exactly why I want do do what I want to do and why I am as a person.
Just go check it out if you haven't already pls. If you love science and learning and randomly keeping facts about everything in your brain like I do. And then spewing them out to anybody willing to listen for more than half a second.
Lateral Highlight:
Beware: these birds kill hundreds
Caroline Roper, Ella Hubber and Tom Lum from the podcast 'Let's Learn Everything!' face a question about a crafty kite.
The latest ep of Let's Learn Everything podcast goes deep into Spiders Georg. It's really funny, albeit makes me feel old given that they're talking about myths they believed as children and I was 36 when that post was made :-|
Facts they point out in this ep:
humans still eat 0 spiders a year on average if you use the mode or median as your average, as they are not affected by outliers
to bring the human average up to 3 spiders per year Spiders Georg would have to eat 59,000,000 spiders, actually
some places in the world do actually eat spiders anyway
did anyone actually check if his consumption was an input error?!
Anyway at the end Ella rewrites the post as a statistical teaching tool and i love it so much
"Average person eats 3 spiders a year" factoid actually just poor statistical interpretation. Median person eats zero spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in a cave and eats over 59 million spiders each day, is a statistical outlier, but his lived experience should be counted and the data represented differently"
🤣🤣🤣
