    good work on the metric, most US vids usually neglect the rest of the world :)

      It’s not just the US that neglects the rest of the world. A video in Japanese neglects the rest of the world because Japan is the only country that speaks Japanese. Videos are made by certain people, for certain people.

    As an European, I enjoy that you used the metric system as well so all us non-Americans can understand it. And you made it funny, +1, keep up the very great job!

    I know exactly how far away one lightning strike was because I got hit by it! I'm not lying, I have been struck by lightning and I can still remember what it was like, it's one thing you will never forget. There was a blinding white flash, and at the same time thunder louder than I'd ever heard it before, and while that was going on, my entire body felt like I'd plugged myself into an electrical socket. To this day I have no idea how I survived. I still live storms tho.

    Thanks for the honest feedback, Limezik. If you watch the video, you'll see that Jonathan and I include explanations using both the imperial and metric system. The metric system measurements begin around 1:48.

  • @ckahrl
    @ckahrl 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Lifeguards have used this technique for years. Although you were trying to keep it simple, you might observe that sound does not travel at the same speed at all altitudes and temperatures. As a general rule, the higher up you go, the slower sound travels. That is why lighting that is close sounds like a sharp crack of a whip, while lightning farther away sounds like a rumble--some of the sound gets to you faster. Then you have the issue of sound reflecting off of layers of air and so forth---anyway. . . .

    err for metric you count from the lightning to when you hear the thunder, multiply it by 7 and then divide by 5. This will give the correct distance

    • @Richard_Gonda

      multiply by 7?? the feck? complicated bs.

    @MrJam11493 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Imagine having to change EVERY road sign, every map, every "mile" marker, in the United States. It wouldnt only be costly, but incredibly confusing. The international system is WAY better. Having conversions actually leads to scientific mistakes, but it would be a HUGE task. Let us live in peaceful stupidity.

  • @nictimus24
    @nictimus24 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    yeahp. But I dont think you have to change everything.. like change is not do from night to morning, you can begin adding the system slowly, what I mean is, instead of changing all the signs just add the km/h too, this will help both USA citizens and foreigners that are used to IS units. and instead of reteaching the system, just teach both systems like we do in here we have to learn the stupid English system because USA use it... which is extremely dumb

    @DanyullEdween 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    You did not just miss a letter. Your whole post was incoherent drivel and just ridiculous. First off, it's not the "English" system, It's the American system. Secondly using the term "thousand millions" is just plain embarrassing. Lastly, the United States is the third largest country in the world with the third highest population in the world. Changing to metric would be an enormous proposition. They have bigger fish to fry. Take your stupidity elsewhere.

  • @protagonist3046
    @protagonist3046 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Downvoted due to your open disdain for the metric system. I mean what if the time between the strike and hearing the clap was 9s? Your argument falls apart quite quickly and I'm from the UK, so yeah the 5s rule for miles is quite handy but it's only convenient when the time falls into nice 5s chunks.
