Traffic Makes You Dumb!

00:00this is fun if you're stuck in traffic right now a new study found it could be making you dumber
00:12researchers found speaking of exhaust the exhaust from cars and big trucks on the road
00:19could be breaking your brain at least temporarily they had 25 healthy adults breathe in diesel fumes
00:26and scan their brains all the people volunteered to do this by the way uh mri results showed lower
00:33functional connectivity in their brains who signs up for that wait a second
00:38i like the smell i'll do it how much blow in my face yeah
00:44one of those big pickup trucks that shoots out the blackness
00:48yeah shoot me go science go number one number one i'll tell you this right now number one
00:58i don't believe in any of this mumbo jumbo number two i'm doing this for the money number three go on
01:06then go on then blast me in the face i'll breathe it in i'll breathe it in i don't even believe in
01:15oxygen let alone your little uh poison dust come on shoot it at me
01:25hey you want this yeah yeah i love the smell i love the smell come on here you go take all this let's go
01:33smells like the ghost of dale earnhardt
01:40yeah you uh you know you're making like i'm fine i feel totally fine right now
01:49that's a lot of you are you sure you sound different i feel just fine science boy
01:58are you sorry can i just have you repeat your name you're a college boy i'm just gonna ask you
02:03you're a college can you just repeat your name dumbass sir can you hear me
02:08what sir can you repeat your name for me name no no you're sir i did it i'm fine i'm completely
02:21normal i'm thankful i don't have the same fumes i told you science to get in hell out of dodging
02:26and finally did i know sir could you i'm defeated him okay sir how many fingers am i holding up
02:32what how many fingers am i holding up
02:34right here what how many how many fingers do you see name
02:42i did it again how many fingers is he's got up stop the studies stop the studies
02:54interestingly this particular individual has no difference in his brain function
02:58yeah that's right i told you science mama jamba was nothing just him though
03:03just this one just this one just this one yep so yeah 25 people volunteered give me a bush
03:13slice he says he does this recreationally i'm always doing this you just travel around doing diesel
03:22fumes i got a lot of different diesel engines just sitting in my backyard yeah he says he does it as a hobby he brings it in
03:28he loves it it's nice i like his passion but uh so mri results after they were breathing in
03:39these diesel fumes uh showed lower functional connectivity in their brains meaning they couldn't think as
03:45clearly because different parts of their brain just weren't communicating well sure yeah because it's poisoned
03:51doctors used to think air pollution didn't affect our brains very much at least not right away
03:59but authors of the study say it clearly does and it actually happens very quickly two hours of
04:06sitting in traffic could have a noticeable effect on brain power short term and it may cause ongoing
04:12issues if you're exposed to fumes every single day i've been in traffic before where it's like you
04:19know obviously that you don't there's nothing but then every once in a while it'll be like just the wrong
04:24truck in front of you and it just blasts like right into wherever your air intake is in your car and
04:30you're not thinking about it and then you're like wow i know that this whole car is full and there's
04:36no real escape because you're you put the windows down the second i smell diesel fumes i hit that
04:40recirculate oh yeah because i told us i shut i shut down the outside intake yeah it's a nice little
04:47trick they've taught us yeah anytime there's an unpleasant smell recirculate yeah that's what you do
04:54and then you won't be dumb but also don't volunteer to do studies like that people it's all though
05:02it's the money i don't know how much they have to take like 50 bucks they don't give a lot of money
05:07on these studies they don't 50 bucks is fast they really don't pay good money you've ever seen some
05:15of like the forms they send out for this like it can be like 25 50 100 bucks like it's not yeah
05:23like i always thought what it was is they would just like advertise this on like a college campus
05:27or something like that where like the kids need the dough and they're like oh no you'd be surprised
05:33i think there's like a circuit of people that go just that's how they make that's how they make
05:36their money right and go study to study i've done everything yeah inject it in my testicle go ahead
05:47don't do it people yeah don't do it
