Technically no, saying blind as a bat means you just aren't blind, you can't be extra not blind. A person with awful eyesight and an eagle are equally not blind.
+Archibald Doogan yea, both are called daddy long legs. but when it's literally translated from Dutch (my language) it would be the Longleg mosquito and the the hay cart. also the spider daddy longlegs isn't a spider at all but rather an insect that looks like a spider
Disney started the lemming myth. There were photographers filming lemmings for a nature program and they thought the footage was dull. They forced the lemmings off the cliff or threw them off to make it more exiting.
I was waiting for them to say that the whole Disney thing was the film crew PUSHING the lemmings off the cliff while they filmed it (which they did, and it was shamefully verified).
lemmings commit suicide myth was also Disney things, in old documatery in 1950 or 60s Disney director forced hundreds of them of the cliff to make a shocking moment
The only one of these I actually believed was the Daddy Long Legs one, but I've never heard the flying ones called "Daddy Long Legs". We always called those "Mosquito Eaters"... because they fly around and eat mosquitos.
+Jeffrey Blake Yeah, Daddy Long Legs definitely don't fly. Always known them as "Mosquito Hawks" in my neck of the woods, guess you can learn something new even in the comments. :x
The Lemmings myth was fostered by a Disney film (yes, I said DISNEY) that purported to show the little fellows tossing themselves over a cliff. In actuality the FILM MAKERS were tossing them over the edge of the cliff to their deaths for dramatic impact and to fit their false narrative. The knuckle-cracking thing was still being taught when I was little......at least by my mother.
2:00 check your facts on that one. The real reason behind the myth is that Disney made a film way back and actually force the lemmings off a cliff for the video.
+Anal Fist Okay, but this is a video about false beliefs based on misinformation; and by blaming the lemming myth only on their mass migration rather than including Disney's major role, doesn't the video promote misinformation in this instance? It's not really a matter of no one caring.
Wow! I have never heard of anyone being so offended by a harmless spider in all my life. Daddy Long Legs are decent creatures; they eat bugs, harm nobody, protect the house from dangerous disease-carrying insects, and are really good listeners when you just need one!
Huh? They are here (Southern Ontario). And those other things that the video says can also be called Daddy Longs Legs aren't. They are probably just male mosquitoes (edit: just noticed someone identified them as crane flies).
those are crane fly's (skeeter eaters), but daddy longlegs aren't spiders either, they just look a helluva lot like them but they only have 1 body segment instead of 2
Messylife According to my Wiki search : Some species (of cellar spiders), especially Pholcus phalangioides, are commonly called daddy long-legs. Confusion often arises because the name "daddy long-legs" is also applied to two distantly related arthropod groups: the harvestmen (which are arachnids but not spiders), and crane flies (which are insects) Also looked up the harvestmen. Most of them didn't look at all like what I would call daddy long-legs, but some did.
The winged creatures you refer to as "Daddy Longlegs" are Crane Flies. And I have never heard them referred to as "Daddy Longlegs" They are completely harmless flying insects. Some variations of them don't even eat at all. Once reaching adulthood they mate, run out of batteries and then die. So be nice to them. The actual "Daddy Longlongs" is the Harvestman Spider or the Cellar Spider which has no relation to crane Flies. It is very much true that they are harmless as their fangs don't even really have the strength or length to pierce our skin.
I've heard them called that around here too once in a while. Mosquito Hawks, Mosquito Hunters stuff like that. This video is the first time I'd ever heard them called "Daddy Longlegs". I'd only seen that named used for Arachnids before now.
+Avril Devine i know exactly what you mean, i hate top ten list usually, but then end up watching them for no reason anyway and just scowling at a screen for 10+ minutes . but this is actually so good :D
JackhammerJesus are you a feminist? And also he's right Called svastika in Sanskrit, it is an ancient symbol of auspiciousness in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. The swastika (also known as the gammadion cross, cross cramponnée, or wanzi) (as a character: 卐 or 卍) is an ancient religious symbol that generally takes the form of an equilateral cross, with its four legs bent at 90 degrees.[1][2] It is considered to be a sacred and auspicious symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism and dates back to before 2nd century B.C.[3] It has been used as a decorative element in various cultures since at least the Neolithic. It is known most widely as an important symbol long used in Indian religions, denoting "auspiciousness." It was adopted as such in pre-World War I-Europe and later, and most notably, by the Nazi Party and Nazi Germany prior to World War II. In many Western countries, the swastika has been highly stigmatized because of its use in and association with Nazism.[4] This has happened to the point where it is seen as meaning Nazis and Hitler. Don't make assumptions look shit up for yourself
Great video! Regarding the Lemmings...I once heard that there was a Disney Nature Documentary being filmed, and a helicopter following a large group of Lemmings (though the Lemmings were trying to escape the helicopter) across a meadow and over an unexpected cliff. The 'myth' originated from Disney's explanation that the animals were not being chased, merely followed, thus removing themselves from culpability. Jusy wanted to share. :-)
Actually, with the daddy long legs, we are referring to 3 different animals. One being the crane fly, which looks like an oversized mosquito, but completely harmless to humans. Two being the harvestman, which is the round spider looking arachnid, but it is not a spider. It's actually a type of land crab and again, completely harmless. Three being the cellar spider, which looks like the crane fly, but without out wings. Commonly found in houses and completely harmless. It's also the only one that actually is a spider.
+Crystal the Glaceon Thanks for that. Never saw a harvestman not spider before today. The Myth about the real Daddy-long-legs spider is actually a misconception. For it's actual size it is classed as one of the most venomous spiders, but not for it's ability to kill but for how much it can produce. If it was capable of piercing the human skin then it would be harmful. Nature is sneaky and it's usually the small ones you have to really look out for (scorpions, female black widow etc). Larger ones like Tarantula get a bad rep as they rarely kill but do induce trance like effects and it's usually underlying illnesses or side effects or allergies that cause fatalities (AFAIK).
That clip you showed of the lemmings jumping off the cliff was actually Disney documentary makers chasing them off the cliffs, and THAT is where the myth came from. Yeah, that's right, documentary makers committed a huge act of animal cruelty that even I am bothered by because they were tasked with shooting compelling footage of a creature they found to be immensely boring.
"Daddy longlegs" can refer to at least three different types of animals: arachnids called "harvestmen," "cellar spiders," or insects called "crane flies."
+Robert Reich In the silent movie era, horses were often seriously injured or killed (sometimes after being made to fall in such a way they broke their legs leading to them having to be shot). During the shooting of the 1925 movie version of "Ben-Hur" alone about 100 horses were killed.
Robert Reich Also for women, blacks, jews, the mentally handicapped...etc etc Walt Disney as an example, had close connections with anti-semitic groups and many of his movies had racist charicatures of both blacks and jews. It didn't stop with Walts death either. Though later examples rarely are as racist as under his era. www.cracked.com/article_15677_the-9-most-racist-disney-characters.html
+sumit mahajan Vampire bats have that thing going on their nose (functionality and stuff, which is nice), but the are very small; fruit bats are cute... of course there's the flying fox bat... I don't know what to think about them...
*Don't eat before swimming or you'll cramp up and drown:* I don't think they mean limb cramps, I think they mean stomach cramps. You'll get a stitch in your stomach so bad that you won't be able to swim comfortably. I get these when I run after eating.
The reason people thought Lemmings committed mass suicide is because of the Disney nature movie where they had a spinning wheel and put them on it throwing them off the cliff and said thats what they do. It was completely made up by the producers and this guys explanation was even more wrong.
+FlowersInHisHair Yep. Terrible true story. Disney were making their first nature documentary and forced thousands of lemmings over a cliff into a river (which was filmed to make it look higher), by channeling them down a wooden hallway that had been constructed. With nowhere to go, a lot of lemmings simply got pushed over the edge to their deaths. And you thought Disney was awesome.
+SotraEngine4 I'm sorry but we have to euthanize you for that comment. Fuck those fucking insects, I fucking hate them and I don't care that they pose no threat to me or my enviroment. They are goddamn irritating and large and ugly and fuck them all to hell.
+Hologrampizza The name is used for cellar spiders, harvestmen and crane flies. At 3:43 it shows a harvestman and at 3:46 a cellar spider. Telling them apart is easy since the body of the harvestman has only one segment where spiders have two.
+James P. Harvestmen have 8 legs but can drop one or more when under attack. The harvestman at 3:43 has 7 legs but you can see that it's missing one of its front legs. There are three different arthropods in the video: Cellar spiders - real spiders, venomous but harmless. Harvestmen - arachnids but not spiders and not venomous. Crane flies - insects, not venomous.
and a spider and harvestmen. you can tell the difference because the spider they show (the basement spider) is segmented like a spider. the harvestmen has a circular body with no segments. So they had 3 incests in one that one
Yes they can: they have no regard for personal space and will fly right into your face, and if you happen to be walking along a cliff edge at the time, you could fall to your death AND THEY KNOW IT!
+Dynamite Dingo They are harvestmen, which are not spiders. The main difference is that their body is a single part, not separated into two parts like a spider.
+telecomboring On top of that, the only creature we called a "daddy longlegs" was the one with the long legs and the tiny round body - and no wings. The other was a crane fly. I don't think the daddy longlegs could bite, either. Or maybe we were just told that as kids so we wouldn't be afraid of them. lol
You confuse "Daddy Long Legs" with cellar-spiders AND crane-flies? In the US some mistakenly call crane-flies "mosquito eaters" (but they don't). Someone confused you as a child I think (and us), but that's okay, they're both initially scary. ;)
Ok adam m8, yes crane flies are called daddy long legs but the venomous myth is about the spider although its not a spider and its not venomous but yeah, wrong long leg m8.
+Patrick Ganote well that would definitely be a myth considering the common saying is that AT BEST man uses only 10% of the brain, also this is meant as AT BEST they use 10% of thier brain capacity under a conscious mind. Humans use far more than 10% of thier brain for motor functions and subconscious behaviours, but thats not what is being referred to.
Possibly. It's the only creature I've ever called daddy long legs (only heard about the spider version when the internet became a thing) and I'm from the UK ^.^
+Paul Frederick What do you mean higher is taller? I'm taller than my wife, if she stands on a chair to tower above me, she may be higher, but she's still a short-arse, just a higher one.

I remember reading something about lemmings when I was really young and how it was a mistery to scientists why they seem to massively kill themselves jumping off a cliff. I mean, it was pretty much just a book with pictures to teach cool animal stuff to kids but it is always weird to learn a certain book you read was wrong about something

So the saying "blind as a bat" actually means that you have the eyesight of an eagle?
Or is that a hoax too and are eagles actually blind?
not an eagle, birds have very special eyes, poor little bats are just good at absorbing small amounts of light and that's all
Poor bats ;_;
Technically no, saying blind as a bat means you just aren't blind, you can't be extra not blind. A person with awful eyesight and an eagle are equally not blind.
Yeah I guess you can't be half blind, you either are or you're not , you got me there XD

I assume you're talking about the Crane Fly? Yeah, they're insects. Harvestman Spider and cellar Spider on the other hand are definitely arachnids.
Knightstruth the harvestman is an arachnid but NOT a spider. It's like calling a scorpion a spider just because they're arachnids

Messylife According to my Wiki search :
Some species (of cellar spiders), especially Pholcus phalangioides, are commonly called daddy long-legs. Confusion often arises because the name "daddy long-legs" is also applied to two distantly related arthropod groups: the harvestmen (which are arachnids but not spiders), and crane flies (which are insects)
Also looked up the harvestmen. Most of them didn't look at all like what I would call daddy long-legs, but some did.
opiliones aren't, but pholcidae are
Daddy long legs aren't spiders. Spiders are arachnids, which have eight legs. Daddy long legs are insects, with six legs.
The winged creatures you refer to as "Daddy Longlegs" are Crane Flies. And I have never heard them referred to as "Daddy Longlegs" They are completely harmless flying insects.

Also, I didn't believe any of these fact! Yay me?
This is just all from QI
+James Cripps your mums from QI
+tusskmusic :( true
Whats really sad is that old Lemming "Documentary" was shot with crews pushing the animals off the rocks into the water below.
+Outta da Blue ... For a documentary for Disney
Except Nope, was funny the first time....
Seriously though, good vid.
I really like your channel. Also, I use "except" a lot and I like that I'm not the only one.
Aww thanks for including the CN tower! We are always forgotten when landmarks are in movies and stuff, nice to see 😊
that's a crane fly
and a spider and harvestmen. you can tell the difference because the spider they show (the basement spider) is segmented like a spider. the harvestmen has a circular body with no segments. So they had 3 incests in one that one
I had 3 incests with my sister, my mom, and my aunt.
Except spiders are not incests nor insects.
They are arachnids~!
And crane flies eat mosquitoes so people should leave them alone. They can't even hurt you. It's literally impossible.
Yes they can: they have no regard for personal space and will fly right into your face, and if you happen to be walking along a cliff edge at the time, you could fall to your death AND THEY KNOW IT!
The "daddy long legs spider" also isn't really a spider.
+Marcel Klein explain your theory
+Dynamite Dingo They are harvestmen, which are not spiders. The main difference is that their body is a single part, not separated into two parts like a spider.
telecomboring correct.
+telecomboring
On top of that, the only creature we called a "daddy longlegs" was the one with the long legs and the tiny round body - and no wings. The other was a crane fly. I don't think the daddy longlegs could bite, either. Or maybe we were just told that as kids so we wouldn't be afraid of them. lol
+MaeNotEast Thanks a British/American difference. Here in the UK we call the crane flies daddy longlegs, and the harvestmen harvestmen.
Adam was going to leave WWE Extreme Rules as the WhatCulture Heavyweight Champion.
Except... NOPE.
I absolutely lost it at "has anyone seen a lemming? Here's one, phwoooaaarrrr I would" hahahah who thought of that?!?
that nope gets annoying each time
You confuse "Daddy Long Legs" with cellar-spiders AND crane-flies? In the US some mistakenly call crane-flies "mosquito eaters" (but they don't). Someone confused you as a child I think (and us), but that's okay, they're both initially scary. ;)
+Mike Cronis lol, i had no idea, i always thought daddy long legs were those small ball like spiders with the huge legs
+Mike Cronis, I thought what you call 'mosquito eaters' were called mosquito hawks.
Ok adam m8, yes crane flies are called daddy long legs but the venomous myth is about the spider although its not a spider and its not venomous but yeah, wrong long leg m8.
Oh, never mind lol also that poor long legs looks so sad.
A2DM no, i made that comment during the video, why should i?
Mike Warnke Because all of us don't want to see your Premature mistake
there actually 4 things called daddy longlags. The a spider, one that an arachnophob but not a spider, a bug, and.... a plant.
+Daniel Syck Sup, fellow CGPGrey watcher?
Not much
"Which is God-damn LOADS of metres." killed me. And I don't really know why.
That mom joke had me rolling!
I kept getting a vibe that you're not too fond of daddy long legs, ehh... I probably just read the signs wrong. fuckin love your videos
You forgot the you only use ten percent of your brain myth
+Patrick Ganote well that would definitely be a myth considering the common saying is that AT BEST man uses only 10% of the brain, also this is meant as AT BEST they use 10% of thier brain capacity under a conscious mind. Humans use far more than 10% of thier brain for motor functions and subconscious behaviours, but thats not what is being referred to.
in addendum, the reality is human beings on the average use far less than 10% (usually 4-5%) for conscious thought.
I've never heard anyone call those flying pests daddy long legs, is that an English thing?
Possibly. It's the only creature I've ever called daddy long legs (only heard about the spider version when the internet became a thing) and I'm from the UK ^.^
Yeah that fact hurt my brain. Never heard those called that before. Just the spider version.
well those things were crane flies which look like big mosquitoes but are actually just like flying daddy long legs
Same, I've always heard of them referred to as crane flys
No, I'm from NYC, and I called them daddy long legs too. Maybe it's just a regional U.S. thing. I never heard of the term crane flies.
"Piss off daddy long legs, you are a mistake!" gets me everytime.
Immediately cracks knuckles as he's saying how you won't get arthritis by cracking knuckles.
And I actually knew all of these. There are people that believe these?
Everest is higher altitude so it is still taller.
it is higher, not taller
Gabriel Brown
higher is taller. The bottom of the ocean is an arbitrary height compared to sea level.
+Paul Frederick What do you mean higher is taller? I'm taller than my wife, if she stands on a chair to tower above me, she may be higher, but she's still a short-arse, just a higher one.
Edward Ashford
show me the chair that Everest is standing on.

There you go.
Hate to burst your bubble but most educated people don't believe any of that stuff.
Plenty of educated people believe this shit.
Bailie Boo I'm sure there are.
+Ansonidak you mean you're sure they do...
synapse349 I'm sure there are such people and I'm sure they do believe it.
I already knew half of these but the video was really funny so worth it :)
Who cracked their knuckles after he said "Brilliant and fun feels good and sounds awesome"?
the "except nope" is annoying
(I really like voice nevertheless)
No one believes this stuff anymore guys...
+penquiney because these types of things became popular, its more they are late to the game then they picked things still believed, although there are probably idiots that still do believe this
Frozen is a good movie except NOPE. It's fucking shit.
lol the next comments will be 8 year old girls defending it. i know it.
I remember reading something about lemmings when I was really young and how it was a mistery to scientists why they seem to massively kill themselves jumping off a cliff. I mean, it was pretty much just a book with pictures to teach cool animal stuff to kids but it is always weird to learn a certain book you read was wrong about something
This channel should be under comedy section because damn i cant stop laughing in all of the videos
The ...."Except...NOPE" after all of them is REALLY REALLY annoying.
