18:00 Caught a mouse in my house using a glue trap. Poor guy was suffering, stuck in the glue. I drove him out to a field. The internet said to use canola oil to free the mouse. So there I am, parked on the side of a road, mouse stuck in a glue trap, and I’m just dousing him with oil. Get one leg, free, gotta work on the other three. Just kept adding more oil. Poor mouse was soaking wet with cooking oil by the time I got his last leg free. He quickly scampered off to a nearby bush, but not before a hawk swooped down and grabbed him! That hawk must have been watching me trying to free the mouse for 10 minutes. But the funniest part was, the mouse was so oily that he slipped right out of the hawk’s talons about 15 feet in the air - hit the ground, and then made it under the bush in a mad scramble. It was the wildest thing I’ve seen!

I actually had a racing pigeon get eaten in my yard and first i just thought it was a regular one until i saw the tag on its leg. I was so nervous when i called the guy to tell him that his pigeon died. The guy was pretty chill and i told him id handle the pigeon body disposal and he thanked me for it and sent me cookies, like these cathedral cookies, i never had thsoe before, they were amazing. I still have the box.
My dad is the president of our local pigeon racing club. I grew up with over 300 racing birds living in lofts in my back yard. I was also the junior grand champion for a few years racing pigeons. It's a bigger hobby than people realize and the birds are insane. They get dropped off 1000 miles away from home and they navigate home in only like 10 hours. They can go over 90 miles per hour for hundreds of miles without stopping and I've seen them toy around with falcons trying to catch them.
@@RogueSanta we never gave them names, they have number codes on leg bands to identify them. In the racing pigeon community only high level champion birds are ever given names. Also we had like 300 so it would be hard to name them. There was this old dropper bird (used to to help signal the other birds to come down from practice flight) and he was black so when I was 5 I named him "blackie" which in hindsight was not a great name.
@@NucleaRaptor nice 40k reference. Yeah we also gave the females fake eggs the night before the race so that when they get let go they rush home to sit on it. Kinda fucked up but it worked

I kept chickens for a time. Only the roosters are noisy, the chickens tend to just cluck to themselves, and they made the same coos, but they only do it when they're going to sleep. They don't smell bad if you give them a dust bath to use and keep their coops clean. They're weirdly affectionate too. And if you can get some Japanese silkies, they're just this fluffy, feather-footed little petting chicken.
Internet Hertorian was a keeper for him when he brought a metal detector, and she went with him all day trying to find something. That impressive that she went with him and stand next to him while using the metal detector all day and did not leave him. At that point he should realize she was the one.

My dad would race pigeons. Some of my favorite childhood memories was getting up before the sunrise, catching the pigeons, loading up our truck and grabbing donuts and driving hours away and let the pigeons go and watch them all fly away. This was for practice and not the race themselves mind you. Love you forever and miss you Papa.
Can you explain how your dad used to race pigeons? Im really curious to know how racing pigeons works other than just letting them go. Thanks for sharing that nice memory of your dad, also :). Sounds like a nice time
@@antiquatedideas1107 its been a long time since, but from what I remember: the birds get their band on their leg registered and then put on this truck with everyone else's bird(s). Then they drive the truck somewhere a couple hundred miles away. Then they release the birds. Then you wait at your home for them to come back. Once they're back, depending on the type of time recording device you're using, we used an old style one where you have to catch the pigeon once they land and take the band and put it in this capsule and put it in this machine that stores and records the time. Then once all the pigeons have returned everyone reports their times.

It wasn’t until the third version of the show, when they started to make the show, along side the cards with actual game designers on the writing team.

4:09 I had NO idea pigeon racing was a thing until one day a stray racing pigeon landed on our porch and, in an efford to discover who owned the pigeon, we discovered an entire world of pigeon racing existed. We never did find the owner and the person we did manage to reach said that the owner probably died and they just released his pigeons. Managed to catch it and my mom works with a guy that raises pigeons so he is now happily among his new harem of female pigeons.

The story about metal detecting had me wheezing my lungs out. Btw my hobbies are miniature painting, 3d printing, and wargaming, so I find this episode's backdrop really fitting.
The metal detecting portion of this really spoke to me as my father recently has gotten into the same hobby and he took me along with him to the coast to muck about looking for god knows what. He didn't wind up losing 2$ but he did also find nothing. Oh and he also beached our truck on a hill and wound up spending 300$ to get towed. He was so flustered by the incident that he literally forgot he had roadside assistance and just wound up paying out of pocket. Fun times
2:16 that feeling is one of the worst feelings ever. You plan something, and are excited about it. But then when you’re actually doing it, it’s just embarrassing as hell. Not fun in the least.
When you brought up the guillotine not instantly killing people, it reminded me of a funny if sad story. During the French Revolution there was a pretty infamous woman named Charlotte Corday who assassinated an important revolutionary figure named Marat, got arrested and was executed for it. After her head was cut off, the story goes that a carpenter was so angry at Corday for killing Marat that he grabbed her head and began slapping it. But to his and the crowd's horror, Corday's face, despite her head being fully severed, began to look angry. Given what we now know about how long you can "live" after the decapitation, it seems likely that Corday actually experienced those slaps and did genuinely become angry at him before she finally died. The dude was arrested right after though, as the Executioner, a guy named Sanson, was furious at him for disrespecting the dead. He thought that everyone, regardless of how cruel and twisted they may have been in life, should at least have their dead body be given respect as they paid for their deeds in the most extreme way possible. So he used his position as the official Executioner to make the guards arrest the man on the spot, though he did get let go a month or so later.
I thought the scowling head was kinda funny and the executioner's logic was a bit endearing. Reminds me of another thing I learned about those sorts of times through another famous executioner/torturer (I forgot his name): pregnant women got really nice and comfortable cells as well as delayed or forgiven punishments. She would basically get constant care and even good food to make sure the baby makes it before any real punishment is delivered. But if it's found out that the woman lied about being pregnant to get special treatment... oh boy, she would regret it.
@@keystrix3704 If you're curious, I'd suggest looking into the Executioner some more. His name was Charles-Henri Sanson, and he's a fascinating person because of how absolutely not like what you'd think of an executioner. By the end of his duty, he had around 2900 executions to his name as a result of the French Revolution, and personally executed King Louis XVI who sparked the whole war, while his son would take up the profession and execute Marie Antoinette. A personal journal of his revealed he despised his job and wished he never had to do it, but chose to do it because someone had to, and he knew he could handle it respectfully despite his hatred of execution, so "better him than some other untrustworthy man" and all that. He even helped create the guillotine because he genuinely thought it was far better than execution via the Executioner's Blade. Executioners had to pay to repair the tools themselves, and with how heavy and unwieldy the blade was, it wouldn't always guarantee a clean single cut kill, and would exahust the Executioner making any executions later in the day even less likely to be swift and merciful. The guillotine would make sure that deaths were reliably swift and painless, reduce the strain on Executioner's bodies, but most of all, show the public how horrific the act really was. Which of course is ironically tragic, as the guillotine ended up becoming one of the most widely used and beloved tools of the time due to the insane amount of executions during that period.
Given what we actually know about decapitation and human anatomy, a person who's head has just been cut off will instantly lose any cognitive function due to shock, and even if that somehow didn't happen, the pressure loss & massive hemorrhage simply knocks out any remaining chances of the person being conscious. Any stories about people blinking rapidly or making faces are either fabrications or are an exaggeration coming from a place of not understanding of muscle twitch responses or post mortem involuntary spasms.
@@Miszorov Well I saw a legit video from CJNG where the executioner chopped a woman's head really quick and when he showed the head it moved the eyes from one side to the other like looking at everybody behind the camera.
Is it terrible that, due to my many hours sunken into playing Fate/Grand Order I just started imagining this story with the FGO versions of Sanson and Corday in mind, and it just fit perfectly in my head?
@@TheWorstPartyMember My dad races and he’s only lost a few to hawks over the past few decades. As long as they are not caught by surprise pigeons are very good at outflying birds of prey
Fun fact, there have been several pigeon clubs that have gotten in deep trouble for trapping and killing hawks to protect their pigeons. This is HIGHLY illegal and many of these hawk species are endangered.
I used to do some archery on this green strip near my house and I'd regularly lose arrows. My great uncle had been a bit of a prospector and since we'd cleaned up his place after he died I had an old metal detector of his. Took a lot of fiddling to tune it, but I actually got all of the arrows I'd lost that day, as well as some I'd lost before.
"This is stressing me out like its something i have to do later" you have flawlessly said how i feel. i hate that i imagine dying so much and it deeply bothers me as if i really gotta anytime soon.
Me, but with living. There’s just so much to do and it’s all riddled with worry and pain. Hiiii friend! Take it from me, life is torturously long, you got this.
I love that story about the metal detector and it's tragically relatable. You think you're going to go into a cool new hobby only to find out you're a dork and everybody can see it especially yourself
As soon as pigeon racing was mentioned, I paused the video and explored the local (Balkan) scene. Holy shit. It's incredible. China has pigeon pirates and a class war between rich and poorer breeders, so many crazy stories This is what the internet is for! Thanks you two.
@@matthewherr1588 Ehh....the human brain is alive for at least a minute or two after decapitation. There is even anecdotes that beheaded people were seen to follow movement with their eyes. Odds are they were tripping on dmt that last second but still.
Imagine you're metal searching awkwardly on the beach and suddenly you met absolutely every casual you have met in your life during it. Even Karen from .H.R
A pigeon racing story- Growing up in the plains of southern idaho my father of 45 dragged our family into the crazy life of pigeon racing. My father had found a enthusiast friend known as Mr.King. Whenever Mr.King was around though my dad would disappear with him down to Arizona with his birds and a collective few others and they would all place bets on whose bird would be the first to roost back home. It eventually turned into a pigeon gambling ring and my dad stopped the ring when a disgruntled man threatened to kill someone over a thousand dollar loss.
If you had to do it with a fucking brick I doubt anyone would be able to do it. But if you have like an air rifle or something it's a lot less visceral.
My personal belief that you shouldn’t kill anything just because it’s an annoyance or inconvenience is the leading reason why I haven’t napalmed the nearby school in my area.
Wait, has Historian never been in the fake guillotine at Questacon? The terror is definitely strongest when you're inside the damn thing, not before you enter.
This is a perfect example of what "In the field" is, just a funny and relateable talk between friends where you start talking about hobbies and 10min in you are trying to improve execution devices.
What I've found is that in Japan, hobby generally means "singular thing I dedicate my entire existence to and build my personality around outside of work". It also means that they're unreasonably good at it.
That is relatable. When I started learning Japanese I got so obsessed I went to different classes every night of the week, after work - travelling to different towns to get to them. One of my teachers (a Japanese girl) said as an obsessive, I'd be happy in Japan - and I was! People out there were shy, introverted, but highly focused. My kind of folk, even though I am a middle-aged English guy!

I’ve been on that train in Australia when I was younger, so to hear it talked about all these years is just a wave of nostalgia. It was a truly fun experience
There is a similar tiny train at Dollywood, although it is a little bigger. I don't know if the Australian one is also a coal-fired engine, but at the Dollywood one you've got a fair chance of catching a tiny little coal spark in your eye depending on how the wind is blowing as you chug along. All in all 7/10 pretty good train
4:20 my uncle actually is the national champion of pigeon race in brazil. He has a lot of pigeons and pigeons trophies.

Fun fact the wax dipping thing was used in physical therapy for a long time but it’s largely been phased out in favor of better therapies. It was a particular type of wax that’s really good for moisturizing skin. My dad is a PT and used to let me do it when I was a little kid.
11:50 This actually happened, at least with decapitations by axe. The executioner had a knife which he used to fully separate the head from the trunk if the axe wouldn't hew straight through (which it often wouldn't)
Actually when there was a line for it, the people would fight for who would go first because each time they used it it got less clean and then what would you said would happen did happen

Pigeon races seem like they would all just... fly together like how birds do, and whoever actually crosses the finish first just happens to be coincidence. Like if you happened to walk slightly ahead of your friends during one point in a long stroll and someone declares you the winner of a race.

If memory serves correct, during the French Revolution there were so many beheadings that the blade actually would get dull and take multiple drops to cleave off the head of the victim.
In England we used to do it the old fashioned way with an axe. There are many stories of the executioner missing and taking up to 5 strokes to behead the victim.
You probably know this already but the invention of the gillotine came about due to the difficulty of beheading the old fashion way. Apparently even if the gillotine blade fail to clean hack the head off, its weight would be sufficient to break the victim's spine, killing them. The execeutioner family who served the French Empire and then state, the Sanson, whose head (punny), concerned about the difficulty and cruelty of failing execution, helped adopt tje gillotine for service. This executioner, Charles-Henri Sanson, experienced a surge in popularity in Japan due to a famous comic author dramatising his life in a work called "Innocent". Very strange.
For Guillotines, they were unfortunately how you guys described it where it gets stuck halfway through. Most of those executions took more than one drop to completely sever the head. So yes, it would get stuck halfway through the neck.

17:52 When I was doing volunteer work at food pantry and the building had a horrible rodent problem. It was free food for poor people so nobody cared, we just cared because theyd scare us or crap everywhere. I fixed the problem in one night. I took a trash can and put a Nacho plate from Taco Bell at the bottom, then a bridge over the can the mice could use but they obviously couldnt get out. The next morning there was 5 inches deep of mice at the bottom. A good # were still alive, so I had to drag the can outside and fill it with water. 20+ years later I can still hear the squeaks in my head.

18:00 Caught a mouse in my house using a glue trap. Poor guy was suffering, stuck in the glue. I drove him out to a field. The internet said to use canola oil to free the mouse. So there I am, parked on the side of a road, mouse stuck in a glue trap, and I’m just dousing him with oil. Get one leg, free, gotta work on the other three. Just kept adding more oil. Poor mouse was soaking wet with cooking oil by the time I got his last leg free.
He quickly scampered off to a nearby bush, but not before a hawk swooped down and grabbed him! That hawk must have been watching me trying to free the mouse for 10 minutes. But the funniest part was, the mouse was so oily that he slipped right out of the hawk’s talons about 15 feet in the air - hit the ground, and then made it under the bush in a mad scramble. It was the wildest thing I’ve seen!
Nature is beautiful...
Just like Captain Joe Hazelwood. He was trying to free those animals stuck in that pesky glue trap called Alaska.
I hope you aren't still using glue traps 🤨
Maybe you'll initiate an evolutionary change and mice will secrete oil one day because of that.

pidgeons are actually domestic animals that were abandoned centuries ago and refuse to to die out, thats why you can literally take a pidgeon on the street, show them your house as a refuge and BAM, you have a pet pidgeon.

Amazing too
Hi
Nice
My dad is the president of our local pigeon racing club. I grew up with over 300 racing birds living in lofts in my back yard. I was also the junior grand champion for a few years racing pigeons. It's a bigger hobby than people realize and the birds are insane. They get dropped off 1000 miles away from home and they navigate home in only like 10 hours. They can go over 90 miles per hour for hundreds of miles without stopping and I've seen them toy around with falcons trying to catch them.
What were the names you'd give them?
@@RogueSanta we never gave them names, they have number codes on leg bands to identify them. In the racing pigeon community only high level champion birds are ever given names. Also we had like 300 so it would be hard to name them. There was this old dropper bird (used to to help signal the other birds to come down from practice flight) and he was black so when I was 5 I named him "blackie" which in hindsight was not a great name.

I kept chickens for a time. Only the roosters are noisy, the chickens tend to just cluck to themselves, and they made the same coos, but they only do it when they're going to sleep. They don't smell bad if you give them a dust bath to use and keep their coops clean. They're weirdly affectionate too. And if you can get some Japanese silkies, they're just this fluffy, feather-footed little petting chicken.
Sounds tasty
Internet Hertorian was a keeper for him when he brought a metal detector, and she went with him all day trying to find something.

Then she penetrated him.

The cool thing about the ac130 is its entirely designed to operate in assymetrical warfare against a less powerful force. If the enemies have any sort of air power or anti air its pretty useless because its so slow and huge. So it likely can't even be used against near peer forces lol.
Similar with the A-10, if the enemy has any kind of effective anti air it becomes near useless

My dad would race pigeons. Some of my favorite childhood memories was getting up before the sunrise, catching the pigeons, loading up our truck and grabbing donuts and driving hours away and let the pigeons go and watch them all fly away. This was for practice and not the race themselves mind you. Love you forever and miss you Papa.
The elites don’t want you to know that the pigeons are free. You can just scoop them off the street, like this guy’s dad did.
Can you explain how your dad used to race pigeons? Im really curious to know how racing pigeons works other than just letting them go. Thanks for sharing that nice memory of your dad, also :). Sounds like a nice time
Is it true that some racing pigeons go for hundreds of thousands of dollars?
My dad raised 400 mile racers, though he never actually raced them,
@@antiquatedideas1107 its been a long time since, but from what I remember: the birds get their band on their leg registered and then put on this truck with everyone else's bird(s). Then they drive the truck somewhere a couple hundred miles away. Then they release the birds. Then you wait at your home for them to come back. Once they're back, depending on the type of time recording device you're using, we used an old style one where you have to catch the pigeon once they land and take the band and put it in this capsule and put it in this machine that stores and records the time. Then once all the pigeons have returned everyone reports their times.

Ah yes, the standard session.
23:00 fun fact,
Yes this is exactly what happened,
which is why for years the cards that were prevalent in the show were unplayably bad in real life, because the things they made up in the show either couldn’t be realistically translated into the game or were so incredibly specific conditions, that they would never happen naturally.
It wasn’t until the third version of the show, when they started to make the show, along side the cards with actual game designers on the writing team. There still was much none sense that couldn’t be translated into real life but still.
Early Yugioh (Duelist Kingdom) goes by DnD rules. Gaint Solider of Stone destroying the moon to revert the tides and nerf all Water Monsters.

4:09
I had NO idea pigeon racing was a thing until one day a stray racing pigeon landed on our porch and, in an efford to discover who owned the pigeon, we discovered an entire world of pigeon racing existed. We never did find the owner and the person we did manage to reach said that the owner probably died and they just released his pigeons.
Managed to catch it and my mom works with a guy that raises pigeons so he is now happily among his new harem of female pigeons.
Wow that's a happy ending
@Republicshallriseagain the band on its leg, we looked up the numbers and info about it, found out where it was registered and what group it was registered to, etc. Pretty easy to find out the registration information.
@Republicshallriseagain nah, we knew it was domesticated because of how close it would get but had no idea anything else about it until lwe searched the bracelet numbers.
The end of that last sentence had me in whiplash mode
Oysters was a hard pivot from death machines but then yall powered straight on to Saw for animals. 10/10 episode

The story about metal detecting had me wheezing my lungs out.
Btw my hobbies are miniature painting, 3d printing, and wargaming, so I find this episode's backdrop really fitting.
Same!
I feel like wargaming has become more popular than even just 5 years ago, it's pretty awesome.
I thought i’d find someone with this interest. Early this year i got into playing Battletech and painting miniatures from it.
@@VortexbeastWaaagh It’s probably due to the quarantine. I started 40K painting during that time :v
Got into age of sigmar during the pandemic.
The metal detecting portion of this really spoke to me as my father recently has gotten into the same hobby and he took me along with him to the coast to muck about looking for god knows what. He didn't wind up losing 2$ but he did also find nothing. Oh and he also beached our truck on a hill and wound up spending 300$ to get towed. He was so flustered by the incident that he literally forgot he had roadside assistance and just wound up paying out of pocket. Fun times
2:16 that feeling is one of the worst feelings ever. You plan something, and are excited about it. But then when you’re actually doing it, it’s just embarrassing as hell. Not fun in the least.
Easily the best part of these videos are when the topic inevitably gets lost and the title cards reflect that
When you brought up the guillotine not instantly killing people, it reminded me of a funny if sad story. During the French Revolution there was a pretty infamous woman named Charlotte Corday who assassinated an important revolutionary figure named Marat, got arrested and was executed for it. After her head was cut off, the story goes that a carpenter was so angry at Corday for killing Marat that he grabbed her head and began slapping it. But to his and the crowd's horror, Corday's face, despite her head being fully severed, began to look angry. Given what we now know about how long you can "live" after the decapitation, it seems likely that Corday actually experienced those slaps and did genuinely become angry at him before she finally died.
The dude was arrested right after though, as the Executioner, a guy named Sanson, was furious at him for disrespecting the dead. He thought that everyone, regardless of how cruel and twisted they may have been in life, should at least have their dead body be given respect as they paid for their deeds in the most extreme way possible. So he used his position as the official Executioner to make the guards arrest the man on the spot, though he did get let go a month or so later.
I thought the scowling head was kinda funny and the executioner's logic was a bit endearing. Reminds me of another thing I learned about those sorts of times through another famous executioner/torturer (I forgot his name): pregnant women got really nice and comfortable cells as well as delayed or forgiven punishments. She would basically get constant care and even good food to make sure the baby makes it before any real punishment is delivered. But if it's found out that the woman lied about being pregnant to get special treatment... oh boy, she would regret it.
@@keystrix3704 If you're curious, I'd suggest looking into the Executioner some more. His name was Charles-Henri Sanson, and he's a fascinating person because of how absolutely not like what you'd think of an executioner.
By the end of his duty, he had around 2900 executions to his name as a result of the French Revolution, and personally executed King Louis XVI who sparked the whole war, while his son would take up the profession and execute Marie Antoinette. A personal journal of his revealed he despised his job and wished he never had to do it, but chose to do it because someone had to, and he knew he could handle it respectfully despite his hatred of execution, so "better him than some other untrustworthy man" and all that.
He even helped create the guillotine because he genuinely thought it was far better than execution via the Executioner's Blade. Executioners had to pay to repair the tools themselves, and with how heavy and unwieldy the blade was, it wouldn't always guarantee a clean single cut kill, and would exahust the Executioner making any executions later in the day even less likely to be swift and merciful. The guillotine would make sure that deaths were reliably swift and painless, reduce the strain on Executioner's bodies, but most of all, show the public how horrific the act really was. Which of course is ironically tragic, as the guillotine ended up becoming one of the most widely used and beloved tools of the time due to the insane amount of executions during that period.
Given what we actually know about decapitation and human anatomy, a person who's head has just been cut off will instantly lose any cognitive function due to shock, and even if that somehow didn't happen, the pressure loss & massive hemorrhage simply knocks out any remaining chances of the person being conscious. Any stories about people blinking rapidly or making faces are either fabrications or are an exaggeration coming from a place of not understanding of muscle twitch responses or post mortem involuntary spasms.
@@Miszorov Well I saw a legit video from CJNG where the executioner chopped a woman's head really quick and when he showed the head it moved the eyes from one side to the other like looking at everybody behind the camera.
Is it terrible that, due to my many hours sunken into playing Fate/Grand Order I just started imagining this story with the FGO versions of Sanson and Corday in mind, and it just fit perfectly in my head?
The fact you lost the 2 dollars you used to check if your metal detector worked is the funniest thing I've heard in a while, thanks for the laugh!
Imagine how mad one of those pigeon racers must get if in the middle of the race their pigeon gets grabbed out of the air and eaten by a HAWK
I would wager pigeon fatalities are a common (enough) occurrence in the sport and most of the racers are mentally prepared for it.
that's why you race like 40 at once lol
just release your whole flock every time :V
@@TheWorstPartyMember My dad races and he’s only lost a few to hawks over the past few decades. As long as they are not caught by surprise pigeons are very good at outflying birds of prey
Fun fact, there have been several pigeon clubs that have gotten in deep trouble for trapping and killing hawks to protect their pigeons. This is HIGHLY illegal and many of these hawk species are endangered.
Imagine if we did that with dogs
Let them run across the country back home, a few will never return but who cares it's just a fun little hobby
I used to do some archery on this green strip near my house and I'd regularly lose arrows.
My great uncle had been a bit of a prospector and since we'd cleaned up his place after he died I had an old metal detector of his. Took a lot of fiddling to tune it, but I actually got all of the arrows I'd lost that day, as well as some I'd lost before.

A pigeon racing story-
Growing up in the plains of southern idaho my father of 45 dragged our family into the crazy life of pigeon racing. My father had found a enthusiast friend known as Mr.King. Whenever Mr.King was around though my dad would disappear with him down to Arizona with his birds and a collective few others and they would all place bets on whose bird would be the first to roost back home. It eventually turned into a pigeon gambling ring and my dad stopped the ring when a disgruntled man threatened to kill someone over a thousand dollar loss.
That's a wild story.

This is a perfect example of what "In the field" is, just a funny and relateable talk between friends where you start talking about hobbies and 10min in you are trying to improve execution devices.
Love this channel, a cozy corner of YT. The convos and the animations you make for the jokes is great.
What I've found is that in Japan, hobby generally means "singular thing I dedicate my entire existence to and build my personality around outside of work". It also means that they're unreasonably good at it.
That is relatable. When I started learning Japanese I got so obsessed I went to different classes every night of the week, after work - travelling to different towns to get to them.
One of my teachers (a Japanese girl) said as an obsessive, I'd be happy in Japan - and I was! People out there were shy, introverted, but highly focused. My kind of folk, even though I am a middle-aged English guy!
So Japanese people are just horrible at actually enjoying thier life? I mean that plus the work culture and stuff just sounds horrible
Considering their work culture they probably have no choice. There's probably not enough time to squeeze in another hobby.
Sounds like peak 'tism

I’ve been on that train in Australia when I was younger, so to hear it talked about all these years is just a wave of nostalgia. It was a truly fun experience
There is a similar tiny train at Dollywood, although it is a little bigger. I don't know if the Australian one is also a coal-fired engine, but at the Dollywood one you've got a fair chance of catching a tiny little coal spark in your eye depending on how the wind is blowing as you chug along. All in all 7/10 pretty good train
Where is it? Does it have a name?
4:20 my uncle actually is the national champion of pigeon race in brazil. He has a lot of pigeons and pigeons trophies. He is so good in this thing that he have moments that he needs to find New places for his pigeons trophies, theres a full room in his house and another full room in his company. Dude is the pigeon lord.
I met Andras Arato the other day hes SUCH a lovely guy.
He has ZERO issues with you using his face and actually quite likes the comedy side of it.
Kaiba is exactly the sort of guy who would travel all the way to rural New Zealand just to steal a kids deck XD (also shout out New Zealand Yugioh scene!)
The thing I hate about these videos is that there arent enough of them. I have watched every single one and I hate waiting 300 years for the next one
The metal detecting story just makes me laugh so hard everytime I watch the video. The way it's delivered is just super funny
I know the editor works really hard on these but god I could watch this as like a weekly series and not get bored its sm better than any other "podcast" atm
Fun fact the wax dipping thing was used in physical therapy for a long time but it’s largely been phased out in favor of better therapies. It was a particular type of wax that’s really good for moisturizing skin. My dad is a PT and used to let me do it when I was a little kid.
11:50 This actually happened, at least with decapitations by axe. The executioner had a knife which he used to fully separate the head from the trunk if the axe wouldn't hew straight through (which it often wouldn't)
Actually when there was a line for it, the people would fight for who would go first because each time they used it it got less clean and then what would you said would happen did happen
from “i’d like to do pigeon racing” to ways of government execution and right back to hobbies in a matter of seconds

The little side eye look when the other dude starts playing magic in response to historian's Yu-Gi-Oh scenario is just absolutely perfect
9:50 "See the old school gentleman villain had these time bombs, three sticks of dynamite wired to an alarm clock, and what was so poetic about that was that they ticked. You could hear them - tick, tick, tick."
Pigeon races seem like they would all just... fly together like how birds do, and whoever actually crosses the finish first just happens to be coincidence. Like if you happened to walk slightly ahead of your friends during one point in a long stroll and someone declares you the winner of a race.
And then you get sent to the breeding chambers

@@Okurka. you can preupl9ad the video and fhe release to 2 years in the future
@@karelpipa You think he uploaded the video before editing it?
ManyKudos is supremely underrated. I wish the algo would work better in his favor, he's one of my favorite channels.
He talks about pretty niche topics
@@nicolasgalindez1988 but it's usually about dramas in those niche topics and people love drama afterall
@Shakzor1 zelda speedruning drama is still way too niche for a mainstream audience
Every now and again we'll work for this guy who's OBSESSED with trains and he has a miniature train track complete around his property with turn tables and everything. He also travels around with his mini trains to different train clubs and field days. He's a pretty eccentric guy haha
If memory serves correct, during the French Revolution there were so many beheadings that the blade actually would get dull and take multiple drops to cleave off the head of the victim.
In England we used to do it the old fashioned way with an axe. There are many stories of the executioner missing and taking up to 5 strokes to behead the victim.
Which one?
You probably know this already but the invention of the gillotine came about due to the difficulty of beheading the old fashion way. Apparently even if the gillotine blade fail to clean hack the head off, its weight would be sufficient to break the victim's spine, killing them. The execeutioner family who served the French Empire and then state, the Sanson, whose head (punny), concerned about the difficulty and cruelty of failing execution, helped adopt tje gillotine for service. This executioner, Charles-Henri Sanson, experienced a surge in popularity in Japan due to a famous comic author dramatising his life in a work called "Innocent".
Very strange.
@@lc9245 okay weird indeed
People would fight to be the first ones to get executed just to get the sharper blade
For Guillotines, they were unfortunately how you guys described it where it gets stuck halfway through. Most of those executions took more than one drop to completely sever the head. So yes, it would get stuck halfway through the neck.
This is the ONLY youtube channel I watch where I actually sit through the ad's they should pay you a LOT for making them entertaining everyone elses ad's get skipped. Im never playing shitty world of tanks still but ya know someone probably will.
I get legitimately excited whenever this channel drops a new video
No tienes idea de lo mucho que amo tus videos, siempre se los muestro a toda mi familia y no los entienden mucho pero los disfruto tanto que siento que debo compartirlos. Nunca cambies internet historian
17:52 When I was doing volunteer work at food pantry and the building had a horrible rodent problem. It was free food for poor people so nobody cared, we just cared because theyd scare us or crap everywhere. I fixed the problem in one night. I took a trash can and put a Nacho plate from Taco Bell at the bottom, then a bridge over the can the mice could use but they obviously couldnt get out. The next morning there was 5 inches deep of mice at the bottom. A good # were still alive, so I had to drag the can outside and fill it with water. 20+ years later I can still hear the squeaks in my head. Anyways I killed them all, then dumped the mice stew into the field next door. The birds had a field day. Afterwards we used the drum to hold rice. I dont think they cleaned it.
"It was free food for poor people so nobody cared" isn't a line that someone should be able to say/write without anyone caring
