*the adverb mention is just straight up wrong. "F-ing unhinged" is still an adjective. Excuse my silliness. (More things to waste your time with below.)
The grammatical variations of a certain f-word were of course yoinked from George Carlin's bit which did it better: (Seems to be George Carlin originally anyway.) • George Carlin - Usage ...
The mention about toile and toilet was put extremely badly. "Toilette" was the diminutive, not the other way around as poor wording implied.
There's some controversy surrounding how efficient a bee's waggle dance actually is. I'm no apiologist (no seriously, that's a specialist of bee science), but the problem doesn't seem to bee (heh) with the waggle dance. Rather, the dispute is over how much of a difference it makes to bees watching the dance itself. For 1000x more depth than this video went into: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
One of the opening slides shows the greatest copypasta known to humankind: knowyourmeme.com/memes/navy-s...
The "If this little lion could speak..." line is lifted almost directly from Wittgenstein. The original line is "If a lion could speak, we could not understand him." As in: even with complex language, alien minds might still be incomprehensible.
Quite a lot of the silliness with English was taken from John McWhorter's brilliant Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue: The Untold History of English. It's a great read: / our-magnificent-bastar...
This one was largely inspired by a friend trying to convince me that animals don't just have a 'smaller' form of human intelligence, they've gone off in other evolutionary directions and we should probably count those different types of smarts as valid too. So, thank you to HF for that.

Bonus fun: I spent about a month trying to come up with the title for this one. "The Tower of Babble" seemed like a fun comedy twist on the biblical story. I looked it up. No one seemed to have used it already. Well, I felt terribly proud of that and walked with a spring in my step for several weeks. Just before uploading today I thought I'd check again. I hadn't noticed Google was kindly correcting the typo for me. Of course The Tower of Babble is already a thing; books, films, podcasts. Almost threw myself out the window.

"Show you where the crayfish hibernate" is the same as "I'm gonna put you in the GROUND". Craw/Crayfish tunnel into the ground and build little mud towers at the surface. My back yard is frickin' plagued with them.
Do crayfish come out of the water or is your back yard a lake?
similar to 'you'll be sleeping with the fishes'

I hear a really interesting analogy some years ago. Imagine an ant hill next to a highway being built. Will the ants ever even notice that something "unnatural" is happening in their backyard, even killing some of them? We could literally be awash in communication signals and cosmic messages but don't have the ability to even notice. We could be looking at things on telescopes that are wholly artificial and not even know it.
The expansion of visible space being a really slowy constructed interreality highway is my headcanon now.
pulsars
@@SirTorcharite Perhaps it's not even slow construction.. How slow seems human being to a fly? Or how slow would an elephant seem to a gastrotrich, which lifespan is shorten than a week? For creatures, like gastrotrich, walking elephant could perhaps seem almost still, like an statue. In that perspective, what is time anyway.. Sun rotates fast af and travels through the universe even faster, yet.. to us it seems almost perfectly still in the clear sky.
Perhaps, the whole observable universe actually is some sort of multidimensional highway or perhaps some kind of circuit in an alien machine and all the stars are only sparks produced by soldering joints. And the whole process takes less time than the blink of an eye for some giant alien being. Each black hole is the carbon left over after such a spark has cooled, and its "giant" gravity is actually something like static electricity that attracts dust and seed sparks.
Am I on drugs? Perhaps. Am I wrong? Perhaps not.
@@k.noname1496 Absolutely! All perspective is relative!
The lives of a pet likely seem long from an old animal passing naturally, while they seem so short in comparison to our lives as humans.
A race living tens of thousands of Earth years would be inconceivable to us by it's very nature. With so much time available to something why rush to turn and acknowledge something? Why not leisurely adjust your sight to something over a few hundred Earth years? Moving slowly conserves energy and prevents heat buildup!
Idk about the rest but I'm not knowledgeable enough or arrogant enough to believe I know much of anything at all with certainty! Let alone knowing well enough to criticize ideas on metaphysics and the general unknown!
Hoping I last long enough to see some major discoveries in that direction though!

Small complaint.
The baby on board sign ISN’T there for other drivers.
It’s there so that if in an accident the parents are incapacitated that the first responders will not only know there is a baby in the vehicle and to look for it, but that the parents in the vehicle want the baby to be saved first.
It’s kind of like saying “Hey, in the event of bad thing, please secure my baby first.”

I adopted a cockatiel last year. He opened my eyes as to how parrots don't just learn human words as meaningless sounds, but roughly get the meaning of the words. He picked up a lot of them, without me explicitly trying to teach him, for example "Kde je" which is Slovak for "Where is". He only uses it when I leave the room where he is, or whenever he's alone. When I reply with "Tu som"(I'm here) or "Poď"(Come), he will fly over to me. Funny thing is, he also says "Poď" when he wants me to come where he is and pet him or play with him. He also uses "Ahoj"(hello) when I come home from work or when he meets someone new. But then, the cheeky little birb also learned to laugh, and does it whenever I drop something on the ground or have to clean his poop from the floor.
Your cockatiel is a smart little lad! Mine doesn't talk, but he speaks, if you get me.
He makes various vocalizations in response to me talking with him, varying in tone and such, or just on his own when he wants something or is feeling something. It is really cool to have a little alien in the house that also appreciates a bit of the ol' talky talk c:
My parrot sarcastically says 'wow' whenever something breaks or someone falls over. It's hilarious and infuriating. She'll watch you fall down the stairs and mock you, and you know she means it
@@beansworth5694 Yeah, mine does some of that too, like a purr sound with a rising tone which feels like he's asking me "what's this??". It's really awesome having a little buddy at home you can talk to, or sing songs with! He can currently sing melodies like "If you're happy and you know it" or "Tonari no Totoro", and of course my ringtone, thats a classic. :D He also spends the whole day outside of his cage, so usually when I'm having online classes he's on my shoulder, thanks to which I became pretty well known among classmates and teachers as "the parrot guy" lol.
@@micah3807 Exactly haha! I used to live in a house with a dog, and whenever someone fell or there was a "thud" sound, she'd be really concerned and check if everyone is okay. But the birds? They just find it funny. :D
@@FakeMaker My little borb is always on my shoulder as well, he makes great company c:
Your little guy sounds like a lovely character, mine doesn't ask questions to me beyond 'where are you going? be back soon?', but then again, I didn't really teach him how to ask any others
Exurb1a: Featherless birds
Diogenes: Are you fucking kidding me.

I still think it's funny, but I think the one he hated was "featherless BIPED"
@@parknplay8328 He literally plucked a chicken clean to prove his point
@@tonydai782 yeah I know, I'm just saying it was "featherless biped" not "featherless bird", because humans can't even be described as featherless birds, but both humans and a plucked chicken can be considered "featherless bipeds". His whole point was that "featherless biped" was not a description exclusive to humans

This is one of my favorites. I feel like the internet shows people so many “miracles” that we are desensitized to the beauty inherent in not only life, but survival. This captures that, and also the utter complexity of community that exists in populations: ant workers, soldiers, queens and etc all fulfill a purpose in the colony that is both communicatory and self sacrificial, much as the individual cells in our body operate. If we are ‘alive’ and ‘conscious’, then why not an ant colony, all communicating and cooperating for the greater good of the groups survival? It’s the same thing, but it exists at a different level of organization
I am loving this so much, you balance savage comedy with intellectually driven philosophical quotes and lines, and it just works so god damn well
Apparently the "Baby on board" sign is to tell emergency personnel like police, ambulance and fire fighters that there is a baby on board in case the vehicle has been in an accident. To make sure that people actually get a use out of this sign I purposefully try to cause vehicles with this sign to end up in accidents.

I always thought it was so people drive extra safe around a car like that 🤔🤷♂️
@@Rafael-ly7hr I think that is the reason, but the joke is that no one tries to be dangerous and purposefully crash, so.why would the sign make the outcome any different
More so than that it's to tell emergency services there *should* be a baby in this car as they used to have a habit of either being yeeted out or if old enough running away.
I think now they're so common, and never removed when they aren't onboard; it's ignored

No worries, if I've learned anything from tv shows like Dr. Who and Star Trek, almost all aliens converse in standard English.
That just means the British empire spread a bit farther than we think.
Nay. Tardis has a translation matrix and in Trek they have universal translator. The standard English you hear just happens to be the language of the adventurers depicted. And that is the real stomp! For sure, in Trek at least there should be crew from all nationalities even among the officers.

But harm that is done needs to be addressed, compensation needs to be given, and provided it doesn't continue to be done, then things are better.

Lastly, people are made of parts. It would be hard to find a person who is exclusively good and upstanding parts, so value the good parts people have.
I don't think people should burn in hell or be tormented for what they do, I just want harm to at all times to all people be minimized. It's possible, but it takes a lot of change from how things are currently done.

Yawning is apparently a signal for the tribe to go to sleep. That’s why it’s contagious. Fun (theoretical) fact.
Wait what no way
I read some research on why animals yawn: it is a way to signal that either "there is no threat, you can pass the message along and chill out" or "I'm not a threat, just chill out" ... when seen like that, my dog's fake yawns make a helluva lot of sense.
Yeah but none of these explanations get even close to explaining why simply READING the word "yawn" is enough to induce the sympathetic yawn reaction. Meat computers are so fucking weird.
Why does opiate withdrawal trigger yawning then? I don't think it's that simple, much like everything else there are many layers to it.

Fun fact about those Baby On Board signs. The intention is to show first responders, should you be in a serious crash, that there is an infant in the wreckage and they should prioritize saving them.
I thought they are for preventing unnecessary horns and arguments over windows to not harm the child
I always thought it was just a little "hey, some extra caution, please." I'm not sure if you've noticed, but people tend to drive like complete and total morons, even if they're otherwise reasonable, intelligent and considerate individuals. However, seeing a visible reminder that they may be endangering someone else, particularly a baby, may remind them to be more careful, sort of like how you're much more mindful of your speedometer when you see whatever your local PD uses for unmarked vehicles. The idea that it's there for first responders, however, never occurred to me, although it does make sense now that you mention it.
Those stickers always annoy me. I will try to avoid crashing into you no matter if you have a sticker on your car or not and you should be careful as well. The sticker will change nothing.
The idea that it may be there for first responders is something I haven't thought about yet.

"Я покажу тебе где раки зимуют" is litterally russian "I'll fuck you up"

it's the same in Polish, only not cyrillic, but also about _raki_ , crayfish.

Haha istina..
The "Baby on board" signs are for first responders finding the vehicle in a crash, so they know to attend to the baby first. :)
I'd never thought of it like that. Good point, well made :)
Yes, but do they flip the sign when the precious poo-poo _isn’t_ aboard?!?
@@altosack - holy f*ck! I never knew that is why ppl do that, either. Thanks for the nugget of wisdom!
@@garyt4394 - It was sarcasm; in an accident, the sign could flip either way from either starting position. I’m willing to bet the vast majority of people with BoB signs have them because of narcissism, not to direct first responders in an auto accident.
@@altosack - D'oh! You got me! I've now gone full circle, back to my belief that BoB signs are for idiots. Cheers for the laugh!
great content! genuinely find it easy and comfortable to follow the thought train.

Search up exurbia allegations please 🙏
@@tombyrne1637 already have. I really do not care unless anything has been proven. Now please stop bothering people.

Being from Georgia it is very weird to see a brithis guy that knows about our existence, let alone talk in a positive fasion about our language. It's such a bizarre experience. Thank you, existential space turtle, greetings from the land of the wolves 🇬🇪
I'm not Georgian, but I love your country and language, which I'm learning, and I was also positively surprised when he started speaking about Georgia and Georgian! Most people have no idea that you exist, and Americans think the only Georgia on Earth is theirs.
@@svartkonst666 yeah, not only Americans though, I have to specify which Georgia I mean to Europeans as well.
P.S.
Good luck on learning Georgian. It sounds rough at first but when you get the hang of it, it's absolutely gorgeous.

@@franciscocamacho6058 yes
I'm Romanian over here, calligraphy and language are passions of mine, and I find your language and scribbles very intriguing. Ahem-also your laws on marijuana-ahem.
And to be honest I first heard of _your_ Georgia when the ruskies came with the tanks, and it was on the news, and a lady from America was like "I'm looking out the window and can't see any tanks, help".
M'name's also George, I am having visions of that Xzibit meme. George is talking to George about Georgia, but not the American Georgia the other Georgia.

I grew up bilingual & loved language. Studied linguistics in college, took many non-language classes taught in French & Japanese, &today at the job I took waiting in a Chinese restaurant to force myself to learn Mandarin faster, I had to translate a Spanish table's needs to another waiter, while having my own table of French Canadians just in French, all the while surrounded by Mandarin & I've never felt an exhaustion quite like 4 language switching back to back today, so this video being what I find when I got out of work couldn't have been more on point, perfectly timed, just by sheer coincidence everything I'm thinking about constantly, especially today. Thank you.
I didn't work a lot today either, the exhaustion I felt from that language switching though was worse than working a 14 hour non-stop absolutely slammed double then walking 10 minutes to my car. I don't know what it is
As an adhd whit dyslexia who can read very wel ( it exist I just cant spel ) language has interested me a lot but I never was any good at it except English and Dutch
Hand writing is also a problem
Tldr I'm jealous AF
Only makes sense, to be fair.
Your brain probably isn't used to this, interpreters don't train this stuff for nothing.
Thus your brain went into overdrive, using up much of your energy, the thing doesn't run on love and kittens after all. (at least on a biological level, still need food for that. hehe)
That the brain sometimes can hog so much of your resources depending on a situation often slips our minds, pun intended.
Now excuse me while I'll show myself out. o/
@@zayl07 Bold of you to assume kittens aren't food... i mean i agree but still bold of you to assume such...

You got me crying lightly at the rant of how we have aliens as animals. Which of course, if one has been around edutainers on youtube makes perfect sense- but still is shockingly beatifull to hear someone summarize and put it to words.

Let the law act as it will, just because someone who created something has done bad things
Or just because the act of creating something required bad things in order to be created doesn’t mean the thing that was created is bad
This videos still hold high value
Bruh, no question, argument, dissent or opposition. This is one of the top ten smartest videos on TH-cam. I love you, man.
You are amazing! Please don't ever change your wonderful sense of humor.
You have literally made me interested in so many philosophical and psychological concepts. I love to take a minute to just think about how incredibly absurd and amazing humans are. I’m so happy that you posted a new video ❤️
Thank you all for informing me of the bad accusations about exurb1a. I really had no idea and I will make sure to look into it. His videos and knowledge I am happy to have known and that won’t change (because it really has made a difference and I think it would be wrong of me to say I “magically” hate everything he’s done because that’s just a lie). I won’t support him if it is proven or extremely suspected that he’s done bad things.
Well this definitely didn’t make my day better

Oddly enough, I actually do ponder about language and communication through they day quite often. My youngest son (7 year old) has a rare genetic condition which made him intellectually impaired and will likely mentally remain a toddler forever. You don't get a solid appreciation for words, communication, information processing, and fine motor control until someone you care for literally doesn't have the capacity for it.
I wish I knew what's actually going through his mind or how he perceives the world. It's hard to wrap your head around what that must be like. He understands some verbal cues but has a very present, active memory. He gets frustrated a lot because he can't communicate what he wants or understand explanations. I constantly try new things to help him understand, as do the therapists and teachers at his school. But with this kind of diagnosis being untreatable, it's difficult to know what to do.
That's why I frequently consider words, communication, and body language.
What's the condition called?
Bro, you won’t ever see this but my god. I found you today and have binge watched easily 10+ videos. Often rewatching immediately. Embarrassingly moved to tears at times. All I’ll say is you have a gift. I can’t imagine how much work goes into these but I truly appreciate it.
