Veritasium

Do people really prefer MORE pain? In our newest video, we see if a group of volunteers would actively want to experience more pain instead of less. Check it out here https://youtu.be/v4r71kEdYME

And for an exclusive bonus video, we have Derek's turn doing the experiment over on our Patreon, free for everyone! www.patreon.com/veritasium

I recall a video about how statistics can mislead. It was excellent.

The most mind blowing part of the video to me was when I realized that the water wasn’t cold enough to be painful

If these folks experienced chronic pain, they wouldn't be so into pain.

I must not fear. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Can we not get animated videos/GIFs for youtube posts? I turned autoplay off for a reason. I want to browse my home feed in peace. I'd hate to use "not interested" or "don't recommend channel" on Veritasium.

If a little more pain is good, surely a lot more pain is we even better. “People stick their hands in lava for fun!? Feat. The backyard scientist”💀

Half of them preferred the experiment where the water got slowly warmer over the last 30 seconds. So they contrast in relief?

After watching this I started to thing about zwifting. Especially hard sessions like 8’/2’ break (moderate-strong-max-very strong-strong). It’s weird but them seems to be much easier than 5x 6’/4’ strong. And the ones finished at the top of the mountain are in my memory kind of „fun, nice time”, but the real feeling at that moment was „im in hell, i want to cry, wheres mommy” etc

@Veritasium would you be willing to make a video explaining what a negative magnitude earthquake is?

Based on your sponsorship agreements it seems more pain is the preference
