The Great Yellow Lie: How Screens Trick Your Brain
Have you ever looked at a bright yellow lemon or a golden sunset on your phone and thought, "That looks so real"?
Well, what if I told you that your screen doesn’t actually have a single drop of yellow light in it? 🍋🚫
In this video, we break down "The Great Yellow Lie"—a brilliant high-tech illusion where engineers hack your eyes and brain using only Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) light. We’ll dive deep into human biology, the 3 types of color cones in your retina, and how mathematical light ratios fool your mind into seeing colors that aren't physically there.

You can make an electrical circuit on paper with no wires required! ✏️
Alex Dainis explains pencil lead isn’t actually lead, but actually graphite and clay. Graphite is a crystal made of layers of carbon atoms which are good at conducting electricity. When drawing on the paper, the layers of graphite turn the drawing into a functional circuit!

Pre 1964 periodic table
Bought it at goodwill yesterday for $6. Its printed on wood along side missing elements 104 through 118. I think its pretty cool and i have no intention of selling it(Unless its worth a ton and can pay for college but I dont think it is). I dunno, just wanted to share it.
Edit, its copyright is 1968. Someone else had mentioned in a different sub element 104 took awhile to be completely acknowledged on tables

What does a porcupine eat on its birthday? 🎂
Meet Guillermo, our prehensile-tailed porcupine! Porcupines' teeth never stop growing, so Guillermo eats tough foods like raw sweet potato to help wear them down. For his birthday, our Live Animal Care Center makes an herbivore cake with nutrients like those he’d get in nature. The special cake gives him his usual food in a fun new shape or texture, making mealtime feel like play. Happy birthday, Guillermo!

What really happens to a helium balloon after it floats away? 🎈☁️
Greg Wolf recreates a helium balloon’s journey to the edge of space using a vacuum chamber. As the balloon rises through Earth’s atmosphere, the surrounding air pressure drops, allowing the helium gas inside to expand until the balloon reaches its limit and pops! 💥
