Could We actually change the color of the backdrop? I don’t think people can see me.
Perfect. Thank you!
My name is Blocko, I don't have a last name, I'm an education creator on youtube,
and today I'm going to answer some of the web's most popular search questions. Sure
this might LOOK like a show that might already exist, but that hypothetical
show isn’t inviting me on. So we’re doing it ourselves as a twist on Dear Blocko!
In this episode, we're starting with CAN...Let's see what we have here…
Can We Make a Black Hole? Great scary question!
A true black hole is a region with such immense gravity that nothing can escape
its boundary–also known as its event horizon. And,
as it turns out, you can recreate this effect in a lab. Which is scary.
Researchers have simulated black holes using jumping electrons and
rubidium atoms to gain a better understanding of how they work.
Can You Get Mono Twice? Hello worried teenagers!
Most people will only get mono once. And,
while you will carry the virus that causes the infection within you for the rest of your life,
only those with weakened immune systems will become sick if it reactivates.
Can You Freeze Cream Cheese? That's one of the most searched questions? Well...
You can! This will extend its shelf life from two weeks to two months.
But depending on what you’re planning on using it for, it may not taste very good.
That’s because cream cheese is about 50% water and when you freeze it,
the water separates from the cheese curds. This results in a grainy consistency when it’s thawed.
Can My Dog Catch My Cold? I'm glad you're concerned about your pup!
The viruses that give humans and dogs colds rarely jump from one species to the other. So,
it’s very unlikely that your dog would catch your cold or vice versa, but I'm not a vet,
so if you're sick and your dog is feeling sick at the same time, take them to the vet!
Can We Eat Grass?
Okay, technically, yes. Grass is non-toxic and edible, so you could
eat it. But it’s by no means good for you and could even pose some harm in the long
run. Also there might be some chemicals spread on it! Don't, don't eat grass!
Grass is mostly just water and a woody protein called lignin. While
cows have specialized stomachs to digest lignin,
human stomachs would have a hard time breaking it down. One study even found
that it would inhibit any nutritional benefit you may achieve from eating this fibrous food.
And on top of that, grass contains a lot of silica,
which is abrasive and would wear down the protective enamel on your teeth.
OOH! Last one! It's probably a really big question!
Can You Microwave Styrofoam? These questions are fascinating!
It depends on whether or not the styrofoam container has a microwave-safe label. If
it does, then yes. If not, then it could soften,
crack, or infuse your food with styrene, which is carcinogenic.
OOH! okay okay I've always wanted to throw the little poster board! here we go!
oh oh triangle Bob I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! No no no. Don't. Don't put
the camera on him! Don't put the camera on him! Oh oh no uh...
so are there any questions you want me to answer, silly or serious? Oh, there's a fire now?
Um, leave them in the comments below and I will answer some of them in a
future video! Okay now there's a T-Rex in here!? I didn't do that!
