  1. My first prediction for this year: I'll be eagerly awaiting the next installment of this prediction series at the beginning of 2024! I had forgotten all the wonderful predictions from your scientist buddies, but did watch that video a year ago. A combination of science and snark and concern for the planet is a winning one!

  2. For resurrecting a species, intellectually I know you have to say it was SCIENCE! or out of "ecological necessity" or "For Humanity!", but "It was really fu… orking cool!" and "Someone gave us a metric butt-ton of money and it wasn't, like, UN-ethical so…" are valid reasons, too 🙂 .

  3. Could you maybe find it in your heart to choose a different noise than that test tone BLEEEEEEEP which really hurts the ears of people with misophonia? Or else, could you please provide transcripts so we can still enjoy your videos with the sound off if the BLEEPs are important to include? I really want to keep watching these videos, but anytime someone makes a joke with BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP something something BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, it's probably hilarious to most people, but it excludes me and other non-neurotypical folks from being able to watch the video at all.

  4. I just noticed those are dinosaurs and not butterflies on your shirt. Best shirt ever

  5. Smashing outfit there 'Bec, and another knee-slapping educational speculation bit.
    Looking forward to your take on the coming – surely unprecedented – year.

  6. While Odysee may be a Alt-right cesspool because of the lack of moderation at the moment, You should at least auto-export your videos to help counter the amount of right based content.

  7. NASA can find aliens and they would deny that discovery as something human made. This already happens frequently.

  8. we didn't get bobo assault charges yet but we almost got mccarthy slugging gaetz, so I'll take that as a strong indicator of how the gop's year is gonna go

  9. That really sucks that youtube is cracking down on profanity, I hate the corporate sanitization of the internet

  10. I side with the frogs and the millipedes. Anyone licking these creatures deserves what's coming them.

  11. The annual predictions issued by the Procrastinators' Club have always been 100% accurate. In January 2022 they predicted the January 6 riot at the capitol. In January 1977 they made a seemingly far-fetched prediction that a peanut farmer will be elected president in 1976, and they nailed it.

  12. I could've sworn the lemur documentary was out much longer than that. I seem to remember it from my facebooking days, which was no later than 2019.

  13. 5:00 – Bobblehead Booboo's rat infested "restaurant" went out of business, and was replaced by a Mexican restauarant in the same location. I call that accurate on both counts.

    13:20 – They won't change the name because they're NASAholes.

    Is fewer ableist jump cuts intentional, or just happenstance because of a practiced script? This was less painful to watch than most of your videos. But smooth transitions would still be better.

  14. I refrain from making any predictions about 2023 because my 2020 prediction was too accurate. This Cassandra is shutting the hell up.

  15. Speaking of dumb c**ts…
    (90% of Spotted Lantern Flies live up in trees and other places where Hoomans will never touch them…
    Look towards innovation in trapping and or bug diseases and predators…
    Squishing bugs is not the answer, butt, squishing C**ts is!!!

  16. Loved the video. Question: Can you address what the heck is currently happening with Jordan Peterson? He keeps saying he is being persecuted. I find it hard to believe but am too lazy to really delve deeply into this.

  17. Upgrade the Butterfly Thug stuff into a merch line; Rebecca you can commission a whole line! I know you were being breezy about getting a designer to whip one up, but you believe in fair labour. It's a great merch idea, don't waste it by flippantly appealing for fan art!

  18. Lmao, I love the bleeping, I hope it’s abused. I go so far as to usually misspell profanity in the comments I leave (eg, sh!t, fvck, damm, etc), out of consideration for the creator (you), not the Creator (Bob).

    Anyway, I always love these vids , though. Happy new year, love and solidarity! ✌️❤️✊♾️

  19. YouTube keeps getting worse and worse. If it's not "for kids" content, censoring profanity is fucking ridiculous.

  20. Why the fuck is YouTube ruining YouTube? Jesus Christ quit whitewashing every fucking thing. They are just words and we are all adults here.

  21. Aerospace engineer directed to hornet's nest in engine bell: "A bug, you say?…. No, a feature! Also, we have now discovered wasp drive propulsion!" 😀

  22. I am imagining a tiny little bee filling out an even tinier census form… lol.
