Cool
Can you say in the outro: Thanks for getting smarter with me today! Just a idea
Hi bro love from India
This adds new meaning to the term "Magnet Fishing".
What's email? 🤔
Can you test something for me? How many of these worms can you take through airport security and not set off the metal detector?
Even a hobby level metal detector would have been a cool addition to the video.
Asking for a friend of course
hope he seeing this

I'm expecting new lore for Magneto
Cool
Lol 🤣 magneto controlling worms and destroying human race 😂
But why, when battling outside on fields, Magneto, with his huge magnetic force, didn't get the worms out from the ground?!! Selective magnetism? 😳

Didn’t expect to see you here
"This makes me angry because I don't understand it." This is precisely the human condition.
1:49 Just thought it deserved the time stamp - people generally think ignorance is like some kind of relief. Well that's just another form of cowardice, that's what it is. What really should be done about ignorance is going on some kind of scientific berserker rage.
Humans laughing- hehheheheehe Worms laughing - FeFeFeFeFeFe
perfectly punny
killer joke

I wanna like but it’s at 69 likes so I’m just gonna moment “Lmao”
6 minutes of two grown men giggling about worms sticking to magnets Totally worth it
It kinda makes me cringe. I know worms don't have much brain but is this torching a smaller animal?
It was hilarious ... or 6 mins we will never get back. Plus 10 more mins reading comments! Laughing - it is good for your health! 🤣
@@jaycie5021 lol no. No it’s not torturing a small animal.
@@jamesbizs worms don’t have emotions and it doesn’t do them pain

One day Destin is in a submarine discussing the details of sonar. Then he is picking up earthworms with magnets. This channel has something for everyone.
another reason why i absolutely love this channel
Don't forget the chicken Steadicam that made this channel famous
And the best part is that both kinds of videos are enjoyable by the same people
Destin: *"We've poisoned the worms! I feel so bad!"* Also Destin: *Giggling while picking up magnetic worms*
Worms have several hearts so it should make the blood thick, makes sense.
Maybe they've just injected some Iron solution into those poor worms. cause when I was just a little kid, I used to inject water into them and made them almost twice in size
@@user-oi7hj4go5i they did'nt do that. It was discovered by mistake, unless you think the video creators are liars.
@@user-oi7hj4go5i wtf my dude
@@user-oi7hj4go5iI injected estrogen on worms too.
Destin has seen missile systems firing onhand, ships being blown, and tons of insane things, but his reaction after figuring out a worm is magnetic is much much more insane
The difference was that when those things were going on, he knew what was going to happen and why. When they discovered the magnetic worms they did not understand it, so of course they had to find out what was going on and nothing would stop them until the found the answer.
Seeing two grown men giggling while looking for worms was definitely the best part of my day
Science!!!
Then you have a sad life sir
@@strykr360 Narr mate. Sad is when growing up to be a man means you can't play like a boy any more. Play is the secret path to enlightenment.
Real men are never grown.
@@lordchickenhawk play is the first form of intelligence.
Destin confirms my theory that while growing older is unavoidable, growing up is optional.
You don't stop playing because you grow up. You grow up because you stop playing.
Well said
Love that bigMO
@@unbiasedcobra6672 love this too x
Jesus Christ loves you all more than you know, please repent of your sins God Bless you and your family Jesus Christ died for our sins so that through him we might be saved
I want one of the magnetic worms to be named "Bueller"... you know, so I can watch a Ferrous Bueller on my day off.
awful :)
Underrated comment
Okay, that's a good one.
🤦♂️
When I was about 8, I was playing out in a fallow corn field and I had a magnet with me. I shoved the magnet through the loose dirt to see if I might find a random nail or something, but when the magnet came out of the dirt, it was covered in iron dust. It would be really easy for worms to ingest that and become attracted to a magnet.
I was thinking the same. Farm kids are the best sort of natural scientists aren’t they?
This reminds me of taking iron fortified cereal blending it up and getting the iron out
Exactly. How is this hard for them to understand, lol...
I can just imagine Destin standing over top of a bunch of worms in his back yard yelling, "Why Are You MAGNETIC?!?!?"
Shaking fistfulls of worms at the sky lol
Why are you imagining something you can see and hear in this video? 🤔
Imagine how the worm feels. Good thing they didn't use rare earth magnets. Would have ripped the iron dust from their guts.
I love the wholesome joy of two fully grown adults running around the garden looking for worms and making little proto-hypotheses and testing them out
Hello Destin I only came across this 2yrs after you uploaded it and man I gotta say it's one of your all-time best. The joy of discovery of an absolutely unexpected thing is so evident and truly conveyed that this video stands out.
This might be the coolest Smarter Every Day video because it’s total exploration. That’s the best science!
"Magnetic worms? Neat, surely that refers to some mysterious quantum physics thing Destin will be showing us today..."
Whoa 3 minutes ago Anyways love your channel
“What Laminar Flow and Rockets Have to Do With Magnetic Worms”
I was thinking magnetized worm gears or something... What for? Destin will surely tell me! But both your worms and Destin's are much moreinteresting.
Yup this will be a big comment
It may refer to the idea that charge creates a magnetic field around it (weak but existent). The worms may have some form of charge in them. Idk how, since current flow requires voltage. If anyone has any reasons why this is wrong or why it’s right, pls reply.
"That's a non ferrous worm", i laughed way to hard at it
me too i could not stop
I LOVE seeing two grown men get this excited about mysterious ferrous worms. I'm glad you got to the bottom of this otherwise it would have kept me awake at night.
One of the best videos. This is how I operate on a daily basis, very explorative but on a really basic but interesting way 😊
Parents : The internet is a dangerous place The Internet : Two grown up adults hovering magnets over worms for 8 minutes straight.

Dont forget, giggling.
When your R&D team has an emergency meeting outside to figure out if worms are magnetic- you might have a pretty smart team
Tenmaeslament - that's an underrated comment right there!
ReD WoRm LoOkIn SuS joy emoji with cat ears
This is my favourite video of SmarterEveryDay yet!
Definitely my favorite Smarter Every Day video discovered so far. I appreciate you, Destin.
I hope in 30 years I will still have that same level of enthusiasm about the small things in life
It's always the small things!😁
Elite comment
True, smarter everyday but this channel hasn't helped me to become richer everyday. 😂😂😂
If all your energy isn’t slowly drained from being an 8-5 wage slave to crappy bosses/workplaces while working 50+ hour weeks anything’s possible! Hope the best for you.
@@carsonhunt4642 live in Austria, we don't really do 50h weeks here but thanks :)
im so glad you didnt upload this on April 1st lol
Was waiting for the April fools until half way through the video
yeah than it would just lose its meaning
Its april fools on my Timezone
@@Nurutomo same here lol
For me it is April 1st
I love how excited Destin gets when he’s found a new problem and he wants so badly to find the solution lol! So cute and wholesome, this was exactly what my day needed! Thanks y’all!!
Thank you, Destin! I love watching your videos. I often showed them to my students in the Science class. I learned a lot from you. Keep it up! Thanks a lot!!!!
After Destin gets shocked, you can see a spark between the worm and the magnet at 1:14
If this had been released a day later I would not have believed it
A total missed opportunity.
it's 1st april where i am... I'm not sure if i should take this with a grain of salt
*"The worm shocked me"* four words I thought I'd never hear in my life
You could say it was shocking for him too
"The latest worm news in Alabama"
I'm pretty sure that was a really shocking experience, probably more so for the worm then for Destin though.
Didn't think I'd hear "that's a nonferrous worm" either.
"*That's a non ferrous worm*"
Such a simple yet wholesome and adorable video!! Love your enthusiasm and interest in things!
Destin, you are a truly wonderful person. And there are like 1 or 2 people in my life i said that too, and you are one of them. Thank you for your approach on life and discovery/science.
"This makes me angry cause I don't understand it." Hits me in my soul.
They hate what they don't understand
You ain't got a soul. Nobody does. Prove different.
@@lancethrustworthy you better not be stepping into religion lol

@@lancethrustworthy I don't have a soul, I AM a soul.
I love how they're giggling at worms like their schoolboys at recess.
My favorite Destin videos are when he gets so excited he gets giddy! Nerd alert! I LOVE being curious!
That's non-ferrous worm!
this makes me angry because I don't understand it.
Brings back a lot of nostalgia
What a great video! This reminded me so much of my son and I when he was a child. We discovered many awesome things together through the years. 🤗
I love the kid that this brings out in you! I can see myself being so intrigued by this! Love you videos!
"This makes me angry because I don't understand it." Broadly apply to most of humanity.
Except for he meant furiously curious and eager to learn, whereas most of humanity means "I vote Trump now"
This needs more upvotes.
@@imnotdavidxnsx why did you bring politics into this
@@engineergaming7407 why did you think that question made me wrong?
@@imnotdavidxnsx This makes me angry because I don't understand why people vote for Trump.
Destin years ago: “let’s explore nuclear submarines and how they work” Destin now: “Yo try that worm on a magnet dude”
I actually like magnetic worms better.
That was like 8 months ago
Knowledge is where you find it.
Super cool watching you work through a discovery!
I love this video, just pure shock and determination because you absolutely had to figure this out
Literally how every great science discovery was made - and you made it really fun. Unbelievable stuff Destin. Edit: how initial fundamental discoveries were made*
not literally. vast majority were discovered via hypothesis and testing.
@@joelayoub2774 depends on your metric of “great.” Maybe plasma channel thinks it’s all about natural discovery
I like ur channel :)
"Worms get too much iron in their diet!" (They laughed, the fools...)
pretty sure this was one of the first channels i ever subbed to, can't remember if it was the cat video or the rocket on a string lighting a fire, but either way, we're getting smarter every day!
Worms have gullets, similar to something like a turkey, to help them break down food. In worm composting, we give them "grit" like coffee grounds, crushed up eggshells, etc. They have probably eaten that iron as grit and now they are magnetic.
Ferromagnetic. They are not magnets on their own.
I was thinking the same thing but in the video, I see they're pulled by the magnet in 2 regions, maybe the gizzard and the last part of the intestine maybe. Also I wonder if their body somehow "selects" the iron pieces as grit since they're probably harder than anything else in the soil
@@walkinmn Nowhere close enough. A great part of the soil is quartz, which is harder than steel.
yeah, I was baffled that an intelligent guy couldn't understand it.
@@hunszaszist right, so probably it's just a random mix of rocks in the gizzard and so it happens that there's enough iron particles in there that it let's them pick the worm with a magnet
One of your best videos because we get to see pure scientific discovery. Much of science is discovered by accident just like in this video. Thank you for sharing it.
I don't know what happens. Everytime I watch a SmarterEveryDay video my eyes shine, little droplets of tears form because its SO amazing, its so... magic... And when I think i've seen 4 minutes of the video, i'm finishing a 19 minutes video. This, at least for me, is THE BEST channel on WHOLE KZhead. It brings true feelings. True happiness in its most pure form. I just LOVE this. I really hope some day I could meet Destin and give him a huge hug. Pretty much i'm gonna cry a lot if that happens.
"This makes me angry because I don't understand it." The sum of all human conflict summarized into a sentence. Except in this case it's referring to a worm.
It's called the monkey gene.. we all still have it
lol
Also "I'm angry because someone else has what I want (even if them having it doesn't make it harder for me to have it too)"
Если задуматься, то очень точное замечание =))
"That's a non ferrous worm!" is not something I ever expected to hear.
That needs to be on a T-shirt.
I love your approach. I love that you state what it is you want to achieve. No shame I'll make that my own. Because I think you add to my life as I hope to add to other people's lives. You rock. Truly.
This is one of my favorite Smarter Everyday videos
"that's a ferrous worm" never thought I'd hear those words spoken in my lifetime.
He was testing the ferocity (ferrousity?) of worms. They will indeed savage your hand clean off. The one's in Ireland have titanium teeth and a laser-beaming eye. Ferrousious little things.
“The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ‘Eureka’ but ‘That’s funny.'” - Isaac Asimov
We found alien ..."that's funny"
Super cool to watch you work through a discovery!
Love your channels. Subscribed to your email list
Destin: I'm going to show you the secrets of a nuclear submarine also Destin: watch me play with worms
"Guy and buddy play with their worms"
That is the magic and wonder of Destin and this channel. Big science, little science, it doesn't matter. It is all equally interesting, and Destin's wonder at it all is truly infectious!
High production value, low production value, it doesn't matter. It's just good science.

Lmao XD
OMG! Dude's like a super combination of Mr. Wizard & Mr. Rogers. LOVE THIS!
One of the best videos in your channel.
Engineers are just adults that never lost their childhood curiosity. They just learned math and science and now they also have the money to buy bigger toys. And I love that
The fact that their curiosity managed to survive in such a hostile environment is what amazes me the mosr
As a woman, I should not find worm jokes funny, but as an engineer, this is very close to home. Put 4 engineers together trying to solve a problem and this is what happens.
at 3:15 “That’s a nonferrous worm” a sentence i never thought i’d Ever here that, thank you Destin: smartereveryday edited time code from 2:15 to 3:15

This was amazing what a cool discovery and of course I sign up for the email list, who doesn't want to get smarter every day. ;) I always say problem solving is the heart of any science, when you diverting from that, you're no longer doing science. You're just repeating a situation/problem without solution. Keep up the awesomeness. CHEERS!
This is super useful for starting worm bins.
Destin-- In the 80s, I attended a talk on the use of earthworms to treat metal-contaminated soils, as they concentrated them in their bodies. Also, earthworms can change the valence state of metals, which has implications for their toxicity.
That's interesting
The soil where I live is full of iron stone. I dig up worm's but my chook's won't eat them yet they will eat everything else.. Does this mean that the worm's are toxic to the chook's and that's why they don't eat them?
@@Matty12787 -- I don't know, but that might be what's happening. It might cause the worms to have a different odor. Also, in sulfide minerals, arsenic is often found in conjunction with iron. Interesting.
Whoa, that's cool
This is so cool, I read a similar thing about this when my group did a paper on bioremediation (basically restoring contaminated land). I'm still amazed
You’re wondering “What’s going on?”, but I’ll bet IT’S wondering what’s happening every time the magnet grabs it! 😂
Yep
Wonder what happens when you put a worm in an MRI machine...?
@@RICDirector Splat
1:13 “The worm shocked me” has gotta be the best line I’ve ever heard
Shocking worm does sound like yt headline
My initial thought was this... I remember running a magnet through the dirt as a kid & collecting fine metal powder. I guess the old adage, "you are what you eat" regarding the earthworm, might be in play here....
"This makes me angry because I don't understand it" Sums up much of human history lol
this comment is so true. 😂
Long term history yes, but not enough of modern history. Too many people walking around right now being okay with, or even proud of, not knowing things. Hopefully those people have always been just a part of history we don't remember - until the internet started making everyone permanent parts of history. (If they've always been around, there's hope for progress as progress has always been around. If ignorance is spreading faster than science, that's a problem.)
Only the mental alphas. 99.99% of people have been scared, presumptive, or indifferent
@@VoltisArt Yeah, too many people being proud of not understanding stuff. I can't tell you how many comments I've seen of people saying things like "me, who doesn't understand a thing: uh huh, ok continue" like how is that something to be proud of?
Flat earthers in a nutshell.
The pure comedy of || "I want there to be a worm under this." | Picks up rusted scrap steel sheeting | No worm | dramatic pause of disappointment | "I struck out, there's no worms." || belongs to a cleaner, purer internet.
