Hey, I’m the creator of one of these videos, and I just wanted to let you know that - despite being totally blind - I’m aware of my surroundings and I could tell where things were because I put them in their places myself. Generally, when I put things down, I have to remember where I put them - otherwise, my life would be ridiculously difficult! As humans, we adapt and overcome when we lose our sight or become disabled in a different way. You’d do it too if you were in my position!
They said break a leg since in medieval ages when they would wish you on success on your act in a theater, they meant that they hoped a lot of people came to watch. People would use horses so when there was a lot of horses, there was also a lot of horse poop, which people would slip on and break their legs. So it basically meant good luck on getting an audience.
I was told that the leg was the leaver that opened and closed the curtains on a stage and break a leg was basically a way of wishing they get an encore and that the leg broke from having to open and close from too much audience applause.
@@joshuahill6366 Theatre is my job and I can fairly confidently say that the leg isn't the lever. There's no such lever (that's not how they work) and even if there was it wouldn't be called a leg because a leg is already a thing in a theatre. Legs are the drapes that hang either side of the stage to mask the audience's view of the wings. The version of the story that I've heard and makes most sense to me is that to break a leg meant to get onto the stage (as in to go past the legs) and people used to say it to understudies because in the olden days if you didn't get onto the stage you didn't get paid. In reality there's loads of theories about where that expression comes from and nobody really knows which is true. Some are easily debunkable though like the one about the lever.
@@laurencenoble3629 Fair enough. I was told about it by my sister who used to be a ballet dancer and preformed a few times a year on stage and she heard it from the people that worked there. But I guess they could have it wrong. I only know what I've been told by others. I have looked it up since putting my original comment and found like 10 other fairly reasonable and believable origins for the phrase, more so than the leaver one I heard.
@@laurencenoble3629 that’s interesting, I was taught it was because instead of clapping, the audience would stomp their feet. So if someone “breaks a leg” it means the audience member enjoyed their performance so much they stomped too hard/too much it broke their leg. Which is a bit brutal, but really cool!
She's telling us bullshit is what she's doing ffs..a pilot show isn't called a pilot cos it gets on the air...a pilot is something leading, boats can be pilots if they're leading other boats..there's google & dictionarys.. is it all yanks..or just her?
8:07 i can confirm that isn’t the case, tv show pilots are called pilots because it’s like a pilot study (an initial test of an experiment to see if it needs any additional changes) it’s a test to see if the show works :]
Girl was talking out of her arsehole The sand thing is not true it's just a derivative from German and Dutch as English is a Germanic language. The pilot thing is also nonsense, pilot is used as a term for something that is leading or guiding, think pilot holes for a drill or a pilot light on a boiler, those don't float on the air
@Ann-Go To My ChanneI! L!VE NOW no it’s not, there is no such word in Latin. Words with z in Latin are typically only words lent from Greek and proper nouns. Zand is a Dutch word though. In both Dutch and English it’s likely derived from the Germanic sund which means broken up, scattered. There is a similar etymology in Old Norse sandr, sediment.
They tried the whole bagged milk thing over here in England for a while several years ago. But it never caught on. As our standard milk containers are plastic and jug like with a handle built-in to the design.
@@maxscardanelli6185 Here in the US we use the plastic jug design and the cardboard (? something similar to cardboard anyways, but able to hold water and liquid) cartons, you'll find it if you look up "milk carton"
Us blind folk still know where our stuff is, especially if we're home, hence we can point at it. I don't have a braillenote but a lot of tech can read things to us, amongst other handy things, so I'm guessing one use of the camera could be that she could take a photo of a document etc and have it made accessible.
Its also worth mentioning that 'sand' is not called sand because it is located between the sea and land. Its origin relates back the Dutch word 'Zand" and was adopted by the english as "sant", later becoming "sand" in modern english.
There is actually an official origin lol. People used to stomp their legs instead of clapping. Saying "break a leg" means you want the audience to enjoy it so much that they break their leg from stomping. The cast thing doesn't even make sense, as casts weren't even a thing back then.
I thought it was literally just due to superstition about wishing someone "good luck" would bring bad luck so therefore you'd wish them something negative (breaking their leg) instead so you don't jinx it, while still conveying the message
Break a leg actually refers to going on the stage. The curtains on the side of the stage are called legs and when you walk out onto the stage you “break” the illusion of the leg. Casts used to be much larger than they are now with multiple people playing the same part so “break a leg” was saying “hope you go on stage”
Break a leg is a bad translation of hals und beinbruch which itself is a bastardization of the yiddish hatsloche un broche. It has nothing to do with stage or theatre
The first of a TV show is not called a pilot because it's the first on air. It's called a pilot in the same way a pilot hole of a drill is, because pilot can mean multiple things.
Breaking a leg is actually not only because they hope you get in a cast there are several other reasons too. Like before an audition they would say break a leg to wish bad luck because wishing good luck would 'jinx' it. The saying also comes from some theatres instead of clapping at the end they would bang the chairs wishing that the leg of the chair would be if it was good enough. It doesn't stop there the long curtains on the sides of the stage are called legs and you have to 'break a leg' (walk between the curtains) to get on stage.
I was told by my dance teacher that "break a leg" is the opening of a stage curtain. Also the phrase "in the lime light" comes from old stage lighting before electricity.
At 8:00 this is incorrect, break a leg actually comes from when the curtain was pulled up and down by a “leg” and this would break if it was used too much, so if you got enough encores (meaning the show was good) you would “break a leg”
4:00 There's actually debate over whether this experiment actually proves that bees perceive time. There are 2 theories on why the bees did this, one being that they perceive time, the other being that they just learned to exit their hives at the same time out of habit and conditioning (similar to the experiment where the scientist taught a dog to salivate at the sound of a bell by feeding it every time they rang a bell.) This experiment proves only that a bee can develop habit, not whether they can perceive time (frankly, there's no way to conclusively prove this kind of thing unless a bee were to tell someone that they can perceive time.
Isnt this habit proof of the perception of time though? Because they've developed the habit of doing something at a specific time, so they must be able to tell that it is that time, or at least that a specific amount of time has passed.
@@davescruby30 there's a difference between you perceiving time and your body perceiving time. Take sleeping for example, if you go to sleep at the same time every night and wake up to an alarm every morning at the same time, eventually, you'll stop needing the alarm because your body is used to that time passing. It's a similar idea to the experiment where the dog salivates at the ring of a bell. Because it's happened so often for a specific amount of time, your body tells you that it will continue to happen. Whether or not they perceive time isn't proved here. They very well may perceive time, but this experiment doesn't prove it. The fact that they had "jetlag" probably even disproves it because it proves that it was more habit. If the bees could perceive the time of day, they would have gone out at the same time of day where they were. The fact that they went out at the same time they've been going out proves that it was out of habit rather than because they perceive time. Again, it is still possible that they do, but this experiment only proves that they develop habits like every other creature on the planet.
Milk bags are far more common and popular in Ontario and Quebec. In the western provinces we have regular cartons and jugs. Also "break a leg" is said before an audition or production, not because of them "ending up in a cast" but due to superstition rooted in the past of acting. Saying "good luck" or similar positive phrases are thought to jinx a person

About the car roof handle one, I always thought this was normal practice for hanging clothes or anything else, comes in handy because if you’re on long trips you can make it darker 😁
People don’t need to loose 100% vision to be legally blind, and it can also manifest differently depending on what is causing the blindness. I knew someone who had a very narrow spot near the center of his eye with relatively normal vision, but the other 90% was completely blurred, and the other eye was 100% blurred, but obviously with that small bit of clear vision he could still do some stuff, like read a text message on his phone, but obviously vision impaired severely and thus legally blind.
I’m the creator of the video and I’m totally blind but still knew that I’d put my Braille display in front of me, and therefore I was able to point to it. Not rocket science! 😂 Thank you for your lovely comment though!
The venus fly trap didn't die because of the chilli. If they can't create a water tight seal around the meal, it's digestive juices leak out and that head dies. It would have died from a fly on a stick.
Old English sand, from Proto-Germanic *sandam (source also of Old Norse sandr, Old Frisian sond, Middle Dutch sant, Dutch zand, German Sand), from PIE *bhs-amadho- (source also of Greek psammos "sand;" Latin sabulum "coarse sand," source of Italian sabbia, French sable), suffixed form of root *bhes- "to rub." From Rtymology online, meaning sand doesnt come from sea and land, it comes from a variety of older languages which seem to come from the root of "to rub" basically, sand is rough, corase, irritating and it gets everywhere
8:07 well actually (i know this will make people hate me but still), 'Pilot' comes from the Greek 'pedon' (steering oar) and connoted a person who steered the ship. From there it took on the definition as anyone who leads the way on a journey, like the pilot in a plane.

There is not an official origin for "break a leg." But the one I'm most familiar with refers to making it past the 'leg' curtain, onto the stage.
Its also worth mentioning that 'sand' is not called sand because it is located between the sea and land. Its origin relates back the Dutch word 'Zand" and was adopted by the english as "sant", later becoming "sand" in modern english.

The curtain meaning also isn't true. I did quite a lot of research on this a few years ago.
I thought it was literally just due to superstition about wishing someone "good luck" would bring bad luck so therefore you'd wish them something negative (breaking their leg) instead so you don't jinx it, while still conveying the message
