"Actually teen pregnancy and abortion peeked in the 90s, just like Kirstie Alley" my goodness, doctors usually be treating third degree burns, not giving them out LOL
Me, knowing how in rural and small parts of Canada and the US (- heck, even in urban parts, how hard it is to get resources for Autistic and Neurodiverse people, but I digress-) and myself being ADHD/OCD, my husband Dyslexic, and my son Autistic: "SHOW ME THE RESOURCES! I SHOULD BE SWIMMING IN THEM!" hahaha :P But seriously, this is a problem for sure. It is why my family moved from rural small town Northeastern Ontario to a city of 200,000+ people.... :P
About the Baker's Dozen! It used to be illegal for bakers to state that their product was however many grams in weight and then undersell the weight. If they had 12 50g donuts, and they charged for that, and the package weighed any less than 600g, they'd get a whacking great fine. It was cheaper to just chuck an extra bun into each packet to be safe.
This is actually still a common practice in places. I used to work at a movie theater and we had orders of 5 chicken tenders. Most employees put 6 in just to ensure the customers didn't complain about a small one.
When the vaccine first came out and everyone was getting it, a woman at my job said, "I know ten people who got the vaccine and it gave them cancer!" My reply was, "You know ten people with cancer?" We did not work in a hospital or anything like that. That's a lot of friends with cancer!
thats crazy its like how my mom didnt vaccinate me as a kid(i was too young to remember, im vaccinated now) because it would give me autism jokes on you, mom, i was already autistic
My friend worked in a Care Home during the Pandemic, but she told me all her colleagues there were anti vaxxers. When the vaccine was available, not only was she the only one to ask for it, but her colleagues made the DUMBEST excuses to convince her not to take it. Something like “oh, you’ll get your limbs amputated!” “Oh, you can’t have children!” “Oh, you’ll get sicker!” I laughed when she told me this.
The man who thinks women can just "turn off" bleeding like a tap... If he ever gets a cut his female coworkers should be like "You don't need a bandage for that, just TURN OFF THE BLEEDING like you think women can."
rep party has a lot of ignorance on biology apparently if a "true rape"- "we can shut that down" ( JUST NOT ovulate, "swallow a pill ends up in the vagina", "ectopic pregnancies can be reimplanted", ONLY sluts get abortions as birth control, NO complications non are wanted pregnancies and need them. facepalmsssss. on top of refusing any social programs and healthcare. sex ed is definitely lacking.. even what I learned in hs was severely lacking.. myth of virginity, functions and what things look like, that parts on both sexes can have varieties, plus the crass "grower or a shower" might help a lot more self conscious boys if they knew things are different and that's normal and ok. That we aren't always simply XX OR XY there are variations in that too. kids after me eventually got taught a lot more but a lot of push back like you see in the states "think of the children" smh. I learned a lot bc I have pcos and infertile and being curious about biology since before I could read. MDJ def helps a lot too.
The part that really burns me is that the guy tells women to "respect your male coworkers" when HE clearly has no respect for female workers, or he'd take the time to find out that his ideas of basic biology are insanely incorrect!
They where very desperate, but also, they are not that wrong, there is this thing in taxonomie where you never stop being the thing you evolved out of so birds are dinosaurs and humans and birds are fish... I hate it
14:59 OREGANO, OREO, OVERDO, OUTRO, OUTDO, ONTO, and MANY OTHERS. Like, there are SO many COMMON words they could have used to prove the op wrong and they didn't hit a single one of them
But I’m wondering what the hell they were even thinking. Did they really think that OP said ‘nothing starts with O’ and just started listing every word they could think of?
I got stuck in a strongly conservative rabbithole. Because I'm young and impressionable, it changed my world view and made me transphobic and even a little bit homophobic. I recently realized how irrelevant, wierd and just incorrect the things i "learned" from the rightwinged american channels like PragerU and Ben Shapiro was. I stumbled upon The Click's channel and something with the non-political and nice feeling made me stay. That lead me to your content. I have used it to kind of "rehabilitate" from the hate I had. Thank you for explaining everything so that even I can understand!🙂
I went through a similar thing during the anti-SJW era of TH-cam. I held transphobic and homophobic views. I was very lucky to grow out of that phase. Character growth is a great thing.
I know that feeling. Years ago I used to watch all sorts of channels, when I was too young to form my own opinion or have enough thought about things. I thought “hm yeah this video says stuff in a high and mighty way, they must be right, like my parents” So I thought fatphobia wasn’t real, that furries were the scum of the earth, and that people who do “cringe” stuff online shouldn’t be allowed to live. Obviously now I’ve realized that, no, that’s just stupid. Honestly think I didn’t know I was on the trans spectrum for most my life due to that. But idk. I probably hid my special interest from myself and everyone due to the judgy tone of those videos too. So glad I don’t watch those awful videos anymore
It annoys me so much when people with NO medical knowledge or experience as someone with the condition say “most people fake autism” do they know how difficult it is to get diagnosed with it, clearly not. “More resources” hell no people have to fight to get the bare minimum in support and accommodations. I am autistic myself and even in my very privileged position with a well off family and supporting parents we still had to fight to get schools to offer what they are legally REQUIRED to give. Luckily my mom is a former lawyer and former sped teacher so she knows her way around the the laws and regulations but we still had a hard time getting what I needed, it’s much more difficult for people without the resources I grew up with to get what they need.
it's really unfair as well because these people have no idea how many people are missed simply because most of the studies were done on little boys and therefore won't look exactly the same in little girls or older individuals. At least a few clinical autism centers in america do have statements saying they support self identification and they find it's actually rather accurate, including the university of washington. There are also experts who have worked with autistic people who can identify and explain how those who are afab generally present differently than those who are amab. My favorite source for this is the podcast episode with Dr. Donna Henderson as a guest called autism in girls and women (lack of inclusivity unfortunately) where she goes through the diagnostic criteria and what that may actually look like and how it has looked like in some of her clients. Generally the consensus is that unlike many other mental differences, disorders, illnesses, etc autism is pretty much exclusively diagnosed from it's external presentation based on the criteria, instead of the internal experience which anyone who's autistic will tell you, is a huge part of it. And generally, with girls the outer presentation is not always as stereotypical as with boys, and it's essential to get further insight into their inner experience to see how the differences really affect them.
At best, I could MAYBE see her being one of the first to portray class struggle in a children's/YA directed series, where poverty might be more sugarcoated, romanticized, or just plain not really touched on, but even then I'm pretty sure she isn't THE first.
If you invest $1 million in an account that will pay you .1% that’s $1000 of interest you will be getting. so what in the MLM hell is this six dollars a month thing?!?
MDJ is an AWESOME Doctor. She’s a huge advocate for all. And she has no issues clapping back when it’s appropriate. Some people you just can’t educate into being accepting.
Unfortunately, women and girls are losing their basic human rights of owning their own bodies now. So the number may go up again.anti abortion people are just anti-women. It’s just part of patriarchy trying to control every aspect of a women’s life. We still can never be president of the US while a white man can commit terrorism and still be allowed to run. The gap is definitely widening for women’s equality. We already can’t retire until we’re 100 while white and Asian men can retire before 65. I’m sick of it.
Ohio isn't really a word, it's a name. You could just make up a name like "Olo" and count that. But it should be an actual word, such as other have suggested: outdo, outro, overdo. Oreo is also a name and wouldn't count.
"Would you rather get paid $1 million right now or $6 every month for the rest of your life?" "I'd rather get paid $1 million every month for the rest of my life." "Okay-- No, wait, wait!"
25:10 The cause seems to be people treating "millions" as the unit. Matt Parker did a video on it and basically these people's thought process is: Start with 21 million penguins / 6.6 million people Ignore the units -> 21/6.6 Round to a whole number -> 21/7 Calculate sum -> ~3 Add the units back -> ~3 million penguins People also do it a lot with money
The way the balloons don't only have the "D" and "A" letter issue but also "birhtay"...that person does not seem to have taken a second moment to look and think 😅
My parents were those types of people that thought autism was a symptom of poor discipline and that as long as they didn't tolerate that "behavior" under their roof, it would somehow...magically go away?? Yeah no I still walk to the bathroom with trex arms. 😂 I've only become MORE tistic with age
3:15 as someone with autism and a sibling with higher needs, YOU DONT GET MORE RESOURCES. YOU GET LESSS. dude the medical system hates us. It’s not just a US problem either. I’m Canadian and I had to wait 5 years to get a diagnosis and then another 3 before I could get any semblance of support, and I’m considered lucky in that sense.
Frrrr for many insurance plans, the only autism "assistance" they provide is ABA therapy for children! Autism assistance and accomodations for adults are practically nonexistent and are rarely if ever covered by insurance. Heck, I've heard people having their coverage LOWERED upon recieving an autism diagnosis! Insurance companies see us as a liability that they don't want to take care of. The only care they provide is a pathetic ableist attempt at "treatment."
Yup, took us 5 years to get a diagnosis for my daughter. Supposedly she’ll get her services in “2-3 months”, but they say that every month. I can’t get services because I wasn’t diagnosed until 36 :/
yeah, I think the source of this misconception is when people already don't think most mental illness is real talk to anyone seeking a diagnosis for themselves or their child and ask why like it matters, the answer is always for access to services.
Every person who’s autistic: “What resources???“ A lot of people are diagnosed later in life or cannot attain one due to costs, medical bias, or wanting to move abroad and have human rights. A lot of autistic kids are put into abusive ABA “therapy”. Bar autistically trained nutritionists, sensory aids, and fidgets, there really are not many resources, especially once you become an adult.
Dozen is one of the oldest measures in recorded history. Baker’s dozens arose because there were really strict laws surrounding the sales of bread in England once upon a time and they were supposed to sell things by the dozen but also to have a specific amount by weight. Throwing in an extra would keep them in compliance with the law and spare them the substantial fines associated with noncompliance
Also "oregano". Admittedly, "oreo" is a brand name and "oregano" as well as the name "Orlando" are Italian. "Ohio" is from Ojibwe. It's not a pattern which would naturally occur in modern English words (at older stages of the language final vowels were much more common and this pattern occurred frequently), but it does appear in borrowed words and abbreviations which have become words.
23:43 Cause Cinderella didn't have any hardship and cheerfully took the step mother's abuse. Because Hanzel and Gretel's dad was doing SO well, being able to afford food and all, that he just cheerfully decided to lose his kids in the woods.

I was thinking… don’t class dynamics appear in the Bible? Something something easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter Heaven? I’ve never read the Bible feel free to correct me if I’m wrong
@@snowwyflake You remember right, that's Jesus telling a rich man he needs to sell his possessions and give the money to the poor to go to Heaven. There's so, so much about poverty and hardship vs wealth throughout the Bible, and I'm confidently correct that the Bible predates Harry Potter.
Huh, when I was at highschool we did a journalism study where is stated the origin of "News" was from North, East, West and South as the original "N.E.W.S publications boasted it was the only way to find out what was going on from every point of the compass. We didn't have internet available then - let alone google - to fact check what we were being taught, and when it was first widely available most information published online for the first 10 years or so was very rarely fact checked, so I always assumed that was correct.... you learn something new everyday.
"Most cases of autism are fake" "All cases of gender dysphoria are fake" My nonbinary autistic ass: 💀💀💀 Edit: what's with these existential crises in the replies?
15:00 I've seen this tweet so many times and it bothers me so much because I use the word "Oregano" so much. Maybe it's because of where I live and what spices and herbs I use when I cook, but the fact that both the "no word starts and ends with O" tweet and the fact that the next person repeatedly fails the dictionary are wrong, it makes me feel good that this is on Confidently Incorrect.
A word that both begins & ends with O is obbligato. Adopted into English from the Italian, it's a term used in music. *Obbligato* marks a musical passage to be played/sung exactly as written, as opposed to a passage marked *ad libitum* , which may be played/sung freely, with variations or decorations applied as the performer wishes. There are probably other English words that begin & end with O, but that's the one that came to my mind. 33 years after I gave birth, I'm still autistic. So much for leaving it behind after pregnancy!
I have not gotten to this part of the video, but I'm autistic and currently 3 months pregnant. The first thing I told my OBGYN team is that I'm autistic and I'm likely going to give birth somewhere that I can walk around. They are so excited to help me through everything. Next week they are going to start me on talking to the autism counselor for the birthing center that I want to use. If there's problems I still have to go to a hospital, but the birthing center has a person who's sole job is to talk to autistic mothers and figure out what works best for their specific type of autism.
Not only do ducks need to breathe air fairly frequently, they also need time out of the water to renew the waterproof coating on their feathers. Glands near the base of the feathers release oil, but preening must be done to get that oil evenly spread over the whole length of each feather. If not properly oiled, the feathers get soggy. And soggy feathers are chilly feathers that don't insulate properly against the cold. They also contain enough extra weight to cause problems.
me (autism, Tourette’s, and gender dysphoria): damn triple homicide but also no way i’m letting someone with twitter blue tell me *i* am overdosing on modernity
Jamie's like "I'm sorry for getting aggressive just then" after raising his voice by 0.001 decibels. 😂 I've only been following you for a few months after finding you through Roly, and I love love love your calm demeanor. I could listen to you all day ❤
3:42 I mean, mental illness can be a response to situational stimulus. Depression, PTSD, anxiety are all caused by situations that the sufferer cannot control. And I do think that gender dysphoria fits in my wide definition of that, cause what your body parts are, is out of a person's control, which causes the disorder. But none of that means that any of these illnesses are fake. Just cause you cannot see it doesn't mean it isn't real.
17:08 I have literally had my uncle say that to my mother who is a breast cancer survivor. But also he has a list of random vitamins and supplements that he believes can cure almost any disease so
That is the origin of the word, but the meaning is just a date on which an event took place in a previous year. Common usage also includes. I think a lot of people get stuck on word origin versus meaning. The word "fetus/foetus" originates from the Greek term for offspring, but in modern English it specifically refers to the gestational development phase between embryo and infant. I wouldn't call someone's 10 year old kid their fetus. Eight month birth celebration is the term I would use as a writer, but I also mostly ghostwrite memoirs, and if my subject used the word "birthday" or "anniversary," I wouldn't change it.
There are these types of questions all over the internet and usually the correct answer is B. Because they are usually framed around compounding results. So the "typical" option is, "Or would you rather $6 _doubled_ every month for _x_ time period." In this case, at 18 months you hit $1.5M. But a flat $6 per month... That's two drip coffees. Not exactly life changing.
Or $6 an hour whatever you're doing takes just under 20 years... though the value of $1,008 (weekly gain) in 2004 was very not the same as the value of $1,008 in 2024.
Been watching your videos for years now, I just wanted to give the biggest thank you for what you do both making me laugh and being a major force in making me confident enough to transition medically. You do wonderful things and spread wonderful messages.
I KNOW RITE? I mean, far, far from the first, but yeah, he kinda stands out for showing true deprivation; the Weasleys are the poorest main characters in HP I can think of, and they... some of Ron's complaints were legitimate, but for the most part his issue was (a) being in a big family and feeling overlooked and (b) being in a family that had to be careful with money. But food, shelter, warmth, clothing (uncool but functional), education, healthcare - he wasn't deprived of any of these.

11:35 To be fair, we've domesticated cows for their milk for so long that we probably have changed it to some extent for our purposes. So they're kind of right.
Modern dairy cows produce a lot more milk than modern beef cows, and some breeds have a lower percentage of fat - although because they're producing a bigger volume of milk it works out about the same in absolute quantity. But their calves are still reared on that milk and they grow and flourish, and if you have a beef cow whose calf has died and you get her to foster a dairy calf, the dairy calf will grow just as well as it would have on its own mother's milk. Really the only big difference between dairy breeds and beef breeds is that the dairy breeds produce a lot more milk and don't gain fat and muscle easily because they're putting the nutrients they eat into their milk, and because they produce so much milk, if they're not milked regularly they will get mastitis and probably die. The real adaptative evolution here has been in humans. Tribes that started domesticating cows and milking them would have done so as an extra source of high-quality protein, fat, and other nutrients for their babies and small children, but that put a strong selective pressure on their children to continue producing lactase for much longer in childhood, and eventually into adulthood. Hence that some humans now produce lactase through our whole lives, and we're the only mammals on the planet that do that! The other selective pressure has been applied to all humans that work with non-human animals, but particularly applies to livestock farmers, and that is to engage with animals as people - to see their personalities, wants, needs, fears, etc, and to respond to those as we would to a human's wants and needs. Animals that are healthy and happy are better at doing what they do for us, whether they're a hunting dog, a granary cat, or a milking cow, so humans who care for them as people are more successful, thus more 'fit' in evolutionary terms. Ironically, the people who are outraged by the 'exploitation' of animals are a direct result of this evolutionary pressure. They see animals as people with a right not to be exploited, but they've become too disconnected to see animals as people we can work with for mutual benefit.
From what I have heard on the internet (and this may not be true), in ye olde days, bakers would add another bread loaf (or whatever baked good) to make sure they met the minimal amount of item needed to cover for any disparity between batches to prevent any fines. My guess is that we just kept the number.
I believe you are correct. In many places certain bread products were required to weigh a certain amount or the bakers were required to charge by a certain weight and in order to make sure that they didn't get fines in case a batch was too small they would stick one extra into a dozen of the item. This is still the norm in a lot of places. It's common for packaged foods to weigh more than the stated weight on the package. I worked at a movie theater and our chicken tenders were orders of 5 and we usually put 6 in to prevent the customers from complaining.
So some poor sonovagun is frantically typing somewhere that mental illness doesn't exist and "just because 'everyone' keeps telling you you have a problem doesn't mean it's true". That's actually touching and sad. "Confidently wrong" about something they really need to learn.
Your comment reminded me of the meme/comic where someone says “hey, this thing happened to me” then the other person says “it’s never happened to me, I don’t think it happens” and the first person says “I’m telling you it does” then a group of seven different people pipe up and say “it’s happened to me too” but the second person again says “it’s never happened to me. I don’t think it happens” but this time with their arms crossed and the first person’s staring at them in disgust starting to walk away. So frustrating sometimes when people refuse to listen!
@@starfishgurl1984 Yes, exactly that feeling. I spent my adolescence in a large city (Lubbock) where "everyone knew" that gay people didn't exist and anyone bringing it up was supposed to assert that they had never met one. Rules vs reality. Shrug.
Okay... so technically, CO2 in the atmosphere is a key part of the planet being warm enough to be habitable. It's the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere that becomes problematic for human civilization. There's a range of concentration that's good for humans, and outside that range is very bad for humans and/or requires human cultural adaptation.
4:14 Fun fact, some acronyms become so normal as words that they lose the capitalization you usually see with abbreviations! Laser and scuba are maybe the most oft-used examples. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, and Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus Laser has been so integrated into the ranks of "normal words" that it's not only lost the acronym-type all-caps spelling, but it's even been backformed to other words like the verb "lase" for when something's emitting light that's coherent like a laser beam. Because "laser" kinda looks like one of those verb + er words,* so of course we needed a verb to match it! And the verb even works just like you'd expect it to :D But yeah "news" is not one of those words it's just a noun that means new things lmao (it also has some interesting features though like you can't put it into singular, it looks like a plural noun but it's non-count and right now I'm too lazy to dig into why or how that happened) *Obligatory "Laser? I don't even know her!"
@@dustycoal183 From what I've seen, okay is a lengthening of OK, which is an acronym of a purposeful misspelling of "all correct" (the purposeful mispelling was popular, with a meme-like quality)
The duck / bird discussion really sounds like a semantic alignment issue. FYI: Ducks absolutely can sleep on the water. Some ducks prefer to sleep on a pond because it's safer from land predators. I had to train my ducks to go to bed in the coop because they wanted to sleep in their pond.
17:35 Now that I had breast cancer I get so mad at people claiming "oh you know xyz causes cancer, right". Because most of the time none of these factors have ever played a role in my life and here you are still blaiming me for getting cancer. 😠
When you mentioned having to focus on the word "penguin" I instantly thought of the Cumberbatch clip, but that you actually included it made me literally rofl - like, literally collapsed on the floor 😂 Thank you for that!
the 'news' one reminds me that when the 1st Trivial Pursuit game came out, they insisted that 'tips' was derived from the acronym 'to insure prompt service.' It's not.
Much like how cartographers used to put fake towns on their maps as a type of copyright, creators of trivia books put in false trivia to catch thrieves. The books that trivia pursuit sourced their trivia from had a bunch of false trivia. Who knows though if this is true, or something said to cover everyone's mistakes.
Hell no, even if one goes with you never stop being what you evolved out of ducks still would be birds, since birds are a subtype of dinosauria, not an abandoned concept. A human does not stop being a human, just because they are a mammal too!

I immediately thought of oregano - but I was cooking while watching this video. Also, don't feel too bad about 'oafishly' - I was doing training at work and the word 'underfed' came up - and I read it as 'un-derfed'. I was trying so hard to figure out what 'derfed' was until I finally searched the original word. Google told me it was similar to 'malnourished' - and I felt like the biggest fool. My coworkers mock me about it over a year later: we now use 'derf' as a verb: "Laci really derfed when she misread that word during training."
The 700k in pennies thing made me laugh because if im ever bagging up change to take to the bank, i always have a momentary existential crisis about whether its 100 pennies in £1, or 60 (as in 60 seconds in a minute) 😂🙈
I know their math is wrong but the idea of all the penguins, from the rockhoppers to the emperors, all descending upon Ireland is hilarious! Hell, get puffins and auks involved too! Imagine an army of penguins at the Northern Ireland border… I wish this was a movie.
I read Isaac Asimov a lot when I was younger, and one thing that I read in his autobiography was why he refused to talk to children. Here's why: One time in a classroom, a child asked him what the nearest star was, and he started talking about the Andromeda (I think?) star system being closest. Then the child said "I thought our sun was the closest star!" Made Asimov look the fool, and he almost lost his temper at the child! He never talked to children again!

@@Lizard_Ri Oh, I read _all about_ those older nations back when I first came out in the 1990s. The Late We'wha of the Zuni Nation is one such person who was lhamana, the Zuni 3rd-Gender. Most of the indigenous North American nations [though not all] had a 3rd [and maybe 4th?] Gender. But, what we know of those additional genders is badly distorted by the missionaries, who were _obsessed_ with butts3x and interpreted _anything_ that didn't match their European-Judeo-Christian-hyper-hetero genital-based social roles as being all about butts3x. Hell, back in the 19th Century, scholars of Ancient Greece twisted themselves into knots trying to hetero-wash all of the Ancient Greek city-states. They'd latch onto anything that they could twist into a condemnation of non-heterosexuality like a hungry chihuahua on a steak, then fixate on that one piece of "evidence", taken completely out of context, to the exclusion of the flood of evidence to the contrary. It wasn't until Kevin Dover came along and went, "Ummm… no. You're all ignoring the loudly-blaringly-obvious. Stop that. Let's look at Ancient Greece _honestly,"_ and wrote the book. [Specifically, the book, "Greek Homosexuality."] It's how [if you ask me] Sappho ended up with a husband whose name, translated accurately from Ancient Greek, is "Schlong from Man-Island." 😆
The Egyptians also respected transgender people. Archaeologists will find an anatomically male mummy that has been processed as a woman or an anatomically female mummy that has been processed as a man and assert the embalmers "made a mistake" like the ghosts of the embalmers aren't going to come back to curse them for accusing an ANCIENT EGYPTIAN EMBALMER of MAKING A MISTAKE about EMBALMING THE DEAD.
@@mamasimmerplays4702 How … how do they know it's "anatomically male/female"? We've heard in comments, both secondhand and from actual people in the field, that archaeologists can't tell sex just by looking at bones. Or are the mummies preserved that well that you can identify the sex organs? Hmmm, nevermind, it's probably the latter, isn't it?

That is a hellish amount of pennies. Like, banks only keep a hundred dollars worth or so on hand (or at least my work does) just for day to day transactions for the week. A box of pennies, which is super heavy, has $25 worth of pennies. You would need several semitrucks to transport the pennies and no sane banking establishment would take all of them. They have the right to refuse service when the demands are insane. That is all assuming that the pennies are rolled and boxed too. If someone told me I could have 700k in loose pennies or 70k in bills I'd take the 70k. I would rather give up sweets than spend the next several months of my life trying to figure out what to do with all those pennies. That isn't even considering the cost to transport, roll, box, and exchange them.
The only valid reason to choose that table. Though I would still go for the pennies and hire a company to pick them up and exchange them for me. With the left over money I could still buy a house

Bakers dozen comes from the govt weighing baked goods a long time ago and a dozen was expected to weigh a certain amount based on the items. If it didn't meet the weight requirement there was a fine. To make sure that they met the weight they would throw an extra item in. Hence the baker's dozen.
I always thought that the 13th item in a bakers dozen was designated for quality control… so the seller could make sure the batch came out right without taking from the actual dozen
8:31 I know this! The bakers dozen originates from regulations on bread. See, bread was the livelihood of most people. But some greedy bakers would try to save money by selling smaller pastries and what not, thus saving dough. So laws were passed forcing them to sell by weight. So when you ordered a dozen of something and the weight was slightly under, they'd throw in a smaller thirteenth to make up the difference. Then it just stuck around after the rules faded.

“People fake autism for resources.”
WHAT RESOURCES, KYLE?? 😑
I want to know where he's finding those resources, too.
Me, knowing how in rural and small parts of Canada and the US (- heck, even in urban parts, how hard it is to get resources for Autistic and Neurodiverse people, but I digress-) and myself being ADHD/OCD, my husband Dyslexic, and my son Autistic: "SHOW ME THE RESOURCES! I SHOULD BE SWIMMING IN THEM!" hahaha :P But seriously, this is a problem for sure. It is why my family moved from rural small town Northeastern Ontario to a city of 200,000+ people.... :P
Exactly.. like there are pretty much 0 resources for anyone with autism over the age of 18.
"Are the resources in the room with us right now?"
oh my god- I saw this and though, "Of course, minecraft."
About the Baker's Dozen! It used to be illegal for bakers to state that their product was however many grams in weight and then undersell the weight. If they had 12 50g donuts, and they charged for that, and the package weighed any less than 600g, they'd get a whacking great fine. It was cheaper to just chuck an extra bun into each packet to be safe.
This is actually still a common practice in places. I used to work at a movie theater and we had orders of 5 chicken tenders. Most employees put 6 in just to ensure the customers didn't complain about a small one.
When the vaccine first came out and everyone was getting it, a woman at my job said, "I know ten people who got the vaccine and it gave them cancer!" My reply was, "You know ten people with cancer?" We did not work in a hospital or anything like that. That's a lot of friends with cancer!

My friend worked in a Care Home during the Pandemic, but she told me all her colleagues there were anti vaxxers. When the vaccine was available, not only was she the only one to ask for it, but her colleagues made the DUMBEST excuses to convince her not to take it. Something like “oh, you’ll get your limbs amputated!” “Oh, you can’t have children!” “Oh, you’ll get sicker!” I laughed when she told me this.

The reason you buy a bakers dozen of donuts is so you can eat one in the way home and still have a full dozen when you get there.
Fun fact: medieval monks used to consider ducks, swans, beavers, etc fish, so that they could still eat them on the days that no meat was allowed.

I got stuck in a strongly conservative rabbithole. Because I'm young and impressionable, it changed my world view and made me transphobic and even a little bit homophobic. I recently realized how irrelevant,
wierd and just incorrect the things i "learned" from the rightwinged american channels like PragerU and Ben Shapiro was. I stumbled upon The Click's channel and something with the non-political and nice feeling made me stay. That lead me to your content. I have used it to kind of "rehabilitate" from the hate I had. Thank you for explaining everything so that even I can understand!🙂
Thank you, my friend. I know a lot of people that were in that position, and I know it's difficult to change the way you taught.
I went through a similar thing during the anti-SJW era of TH-cam. I held transphobic and homophobic views. I was very lucky to grow out of that phase. Character growth is a great thing.
I know that feeling. Years ago I used to watch all sorts of channels, when I was too young to form my own opinion or have enough thought about things. I thought “hm yeah this video says stuff in a high and mighty way, they must be right, like my parents”
So I thought fatphobia wasn’t real, that furries were the scum of the earth, and that people who do “cringe” stuff online shouldn’t be allowed to live.
Obviously now I’ve realized that, no, that’s just stupid.
Honestly think I didn’t know I was on the trans spectrum for most my life due to that. But idk. I probably hid my special interest from myself and everyone due to the judgy tone of those videos too.

It annoys me so much when people with NO medical knowledge or experience as someone with the condition say “most people fake autism” do they know how difficult it is to get diagnosed with it, clearly not. “More resources” hell no people have to fight to get the bare minimum in support and accommodations. I am autistic myself and even in my very privileged position with a well off family and supporting parents we still had to fight to get schools to offer what they are legally REQUIRED to give. Luckily my mom is a former lawyer and former sped teacher so she knows her way around the the laws and regulations but we still had a hard time getting what I needed, it’s much more difficult for people without the resources I grew up with to get what they need.
which is why even being poor as we are I just stay home and homeschool mine. Also, Florida.
it's really unfair as well because these people have no idea how many people are missed simply because most of the studies were done on little boys and therefore won't look exactly the same in little girls or older individuals. At least a few clinical autism centers in america do have statements saying they support self identification and they find it's actually rather accurate, including the university of washington. There are also experts who have worked with autistic people who can identify and explain how those who are afab generally present differently than those who are amab. My favorite source for this is the podcast episode with Dr. Donna Henderson as a guest called autism in girls and women (lack of inclusivity unfortunately) where she goes through the diagnostic criteria and what that may actually look like and how it has looked like in some of her clients. Generally the consensus is that unlike many other mental differences, disorders, illnesses, etc autism is pretty much exclusively diagnosed from it's external presentation based on the criteria, instead of the internal experience which anyone who's autistic will tell you, is a huge part of it. And generally, with girls the outer presentation is not always as stereotypical as with boys, and it's essential to get further insight into their inner experience to see how the differences really affect them.

Frrrr for many insurance plans, the only autism "assistance" they provide is ABA therapy for children! Autism assistance and accomodations for adults are practically nonexistent and are rarely if ever covered by insurance.
Heck, I've heard people having their coverage LOWERED upon recieving an autism diagnosis!
Insurance companies see us as a liability that they don't want to take care of. The only care they provide is a pathetic ableist attempt at "treatment."

yeah, I think the source of this misconception is when people already don't think most mental illness is real talk to anyone seeking a diagnosis for themselves or their child and ask why like it matters, the answer is always for access to services.
Same in the UK.
Every person who’s autistic: “What resources???“
A lot of people are diagnosed later in life or cannot attain one due to costs, medical bias, or wanting to move abroad and have human rights. A lot of autistic kids are put into abusive ABA “therapy”. Bar autistically trained nutritionists, sensory aids, and fidgets, there really are not many resources, especially once you become an adult.

Dozen is one of the oldest measures in recorded history. Baker’s dozens arose because there were really strict laws surrounding the sales of bread in England once upon a time and they were supposed to sell things by the dozen but also to have a specific amount by weight. Throwing in an extra would keep them in compliance with the law and spare them the substantial fines associated with noncompliance

There are probably other English words that begin & end with O, but that's the one that came to my mind.

Not only do ducks need to breathe air fairly frequently, they also need time out of the water to renew the waterproof coating on their feathers. Glands near the base of the feathers release oil, but preening must be done to get that oil evenly spread over the whole length of each feather. If not properly oiled, the feathers get soggy. And soggy feathers are chilly feathers that don't insulate properly against the cold. They also contain enough extra weight to cause problems.

Regarding birthday and anniversary... Anniversary means "a year's turn", so technically can't be used for a toddler turning 8 months either.
That’s true. Lots of people do incorrectly use “anniversary” for idk “milestone” or something.
But also birthday doesn't have to relate to the year. It most specifically refers to your actual day of birth.
@@Louis-- good point
That is the origin of the word, but the meaning is just a date on which an event took place in a previous year. Common usage also includes. I think a lot of people get stuck on word origin versus meaning. The word "fetus/foetus" originates from the Greek term for offspring, but in modern English it specifically refers to the gestational development phase between embryo and infant. I wouldn't call someone's 10 year old kid their fetus.

$6 a month for the rest of your life is $72 a year. it would take roughly 13889 years to make 1 million dollars.
I literally did the same math. Give me $70 per day and you may sway my choice
There are these types of questions all over the internet and usually the correct answer is B. Because they are usually framed around compounding results. So the "typical" option is, "Or would you rather $6 _doubled_ every month for _x_ time period." In this case, at 18 months you hit $1.5M. But a flat $6 per month... That's two drip coffees. Not exactly life changing.
1 million right now and put into a saving account could generate over $4000 a month
Or $6 an hour whatever you're doing takes just under 20 years... though the value of $1,008 (weekly gain) in 2004 was very not the same as the value of $1,008 in 2024.

11:35 To be fair, we've domesticated cows for their milk for so long that we probably have changed it to some extent for our purposes. So they're kind of right.
Modern dairy cows produce a lot more milk than modern beef cows, and some breeds have a lower percentage of fat - although because they're producing a bigger volume of milk it works out about the same in absolute quantity. But their calves are still reared on that milk and they grow and flourish, and if you have a beef cow whose calf has died and you get her to foster a dairy calf, the dairy calf will grow just as well as it would have on its own mother's milk.
Really the only big difference between dairy breeds and beef breeds is that the dairy breeds produce a lot more milk and don't gain fat and muscle easily because they're putting the nutrients they eat into their milk, and because they produce so much milk, if they're not milked regularly they will get mastitis and probably die.
The real adaptative evolution here has been in humans. Tribes that started domesticating cows and milking them would have done so as an extra source of high-quality protein, fat, and other nutrients for their babies and small children, but that put a strong selective pressure on their children to continue producing lactase for much longer in childhood, and eventually into adulthood. Hence that some humans now produce lactase through our whole lives, and we're the only mammals on the planet that do that!
The other selective pressure has been applied to all humans that work with non-human animals, but particularly applies to livestock farmers, and that is to engage with animals as people - to see their personalities, wants, needs, fears, etc, and to respond to those as we would to a human's wants and needs. Animals that are healthy and happy are better at doing what they do for us, whether they're a hunting dog, a granary cat, or a milking cow, so humans who care for them as people are more successful, thus more 'fit' in evolutionary terms. Ironically, the people who are outraged by the 'exploitation' of animals are a direct result of this evolutionary pressure. They see animals as people with a right not to be exploited, but they've become too disconnected to see animals as people we can work with for mutual benefit.

"If you're got four people 'round, where does that extra donut go?"
My husband: [raises hand enthusiastically]
From what I have heard on the internet (and this may not be true), in ye olde days, bakers would add another bread loaf (or whatever baked good) to make sure they met the minimal amount of item needed to cover for any disparity between batches to prevent any fines. My guess is that we just kept the number.
Also I could be wrong but I don't think they charge extra for the extra donut.
I believe you are correct. In many places certain bread products were required to weigh a certain amount or the bakers were required to charge by a certain weight and in order to make sure that they didn't get fines in case a batch was too small they would stick one extra into a dozen of the item. This is still the norm in a lot of places. It's common for packaged foods to weigh more than the stated weight on the package. I worked at a movie theater and our chicken tenders were orders of 5 and we usually put 6 in to prevent the customers from complaining.
So some poor sonovagun is frantically typing somewhere that mental illness doesn't exist and "just because 'everyone' keeps telling you you have a problem doesn't mean it's true". That's actually touching and sad. "Confidently wrong" about something they really need to learn.
"It'S aLl In YoUr HeAd" yeah that's what 'mental' means. *Doesn't make it any less real.*

Your comment reminded me of the meme/comic where someone says “hey, this thing happened to me” then the other person says “it’s never happened to me, I don’t think it happens” and the first person says “I’m telling you it does” then a group of seven different people pipe up and say “it’s happened to me too” but the second person again says “it’s never happened to me. I don’t think it happens” but this time with their arms crossed and the first person’s staring at them in disgust starting to walk away. So frustrating sometimes when people refuse to listen!
@@starfishgurl1984 Yes, exactly that feeling. I spent my adolescence in a large city (Lubbock) where "everyone knew" that gay people didn't exist and anyone bringing it up was supposed to assert that they had never met one. Rules vs reality. Shrug.

Okay... so technically, CO2 in the atmosphere is a key part of the planet being warm enough to be habitable. It's the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere that becomes problematic for human civilization. There's a range of concentration that's good for humans, and outside that range is very bad for humans and/or requires human cultural adaptation.
4:14 Fun fact, some acronyms become so normal as words that they lose the capitalization you usually see with abbreviations!
Laser and scuba are maybe the most oft-used examples. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, and Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus
Laser has been so integrated into the ranks of "normal words" that it's not only lost the acronym-type all-caps spelling, but it's even been backformed to other words like the verb "lase" for when something's emitting light that's coherent like a laser beam. Because "laser" kinda looks like one of those verb + er words,* so of course we needed a verb to match it! And the verb even works just like you'd expect it to :D
But yeah "news" is not one of those words it's just a noun that means new things lmao (it also has some interesting features though like you can't put it into singular, it looks like a plural noun but it's non-count and right now I'm too lazy to dig into why or how that happened)
*Obligatory "Laser? I don't even know her!"
The word "okay" also has a similar origin!
@@dustycoal183 From what I've seen, okay is a lengthening of OK, which is an acronym of a purposeful misspelling of "all correct" (the purposeful mispelling was popular, with a meme-like quality)
The duck / bird discussion really sounds like a semantic alignment issue.
FYI: Ducks absolutely can sleep on the water. Some ducks prefer to sleep on a pond because it's safer from land predators. I had to train my ducks to go to bed in the coop because they wanted to sleep in their pond.
why do they have to sleep in the coop?

as someone who owns ducks, I only let them sleep fully submerged in the water. I hold them down there to ensure they get the best sleep
That way they probably sleep forever! How do you even wake them up?

When you mentioned having to focus on the word "penguin" I instantly thought of the Cumberbatch clip, but that you actually included it made me literally rofl - like, literally collapsed on the floor 😂 Thank you for that!
the 'news' one reminds me that when the 1st Trivial Pursuit game came out, they insisted that 'tips' was derived from the acronym 'to insure prompt service.' It's not.
Much like how cartographers used to put fake towns on their maps as a type of copyright, creators of trivia books put in false trivia to catch thrieves. The books that trivia pursuit sourced their trivia from had a bunch of false trivia. Who knows though if this is true, or something said to cover everyone's mistakes.
13:00 TECHNICALLY ducks aren't birds..... They're dinosaurs! :D

Hell no, even if one goes with you never stop being what you evolved out of ducks still would be birds, since birds are a subtype of dinosauria, not an abandoned concept. A human does not stop being a human, just because they are a mammal too!

I immediately thought of oregano - but I was cooking while watching this video.
Also, don't feel too bad about 'oafishly' - I was doing training at work and the word 'underfed' came up - and I read it as 'un-derfed'. I was trying so hard to figure out what 'derfed' was until I finally searched the original word. Google told me it was similar to 'malnourished' - and I felt like the biggest fool. My coworkers mock me about it over a year later: we now use 'derf' as a verb: "Laci really derfed when she misread that word during training."
Well at least you tried to un-derf your blunder by looking up the word
The 700k in pennies thing made me laugh because if im ever bagging up change to take to the bank, i always have a momentary existential crisis about whether its 100 pennies in £1, or 60 (as in 60 seconds in a minute) 😂🙈

I read Isaac Asimov a lot when I was younger, and one thing that I read in his autobiography was why he refused to talk to children. Here's why: One time in a classroom, a child asked him what the nearest star was, and he started talking about the Andromeda (I think?) star system being closest. Then the child said "I thought our sun was the closest star!" Made Asimov look the fool, and he almost lost his temper at the child! He never talked to children again!
Oh no, how embarrassing.... 😂

Bakers could have been fined and imprisoned for shorting customers so they started giving extra to ensure that didn't happen to them.
On not giving menstrual leave, guess what existed in Ancient Egypt? Menstrual leave for men if their daughter or wife were on their period and needed someone at home. This isn't a new concept.

@@John_Weissik, a bunch of older cultures also got a third gender and more lgbtq+ acception. I swear we're going back in time with our civilization
@@Lizard_Ri Oh, I read _all about_ those older nations back when I first came out in the 1990s.
The Late We'wha of the Zuni Nation is one such person who was lhamana, the Zuni 3rd-Gender. Most of the indigenous North American nations [though not all] had a 3rd [and maybe 4th?] Gender.
But, what we know of those additional genders is badly distorted by the missionaries, who were _obsessed_ with butts3x and interpreted _anything_ that didn't match their European-Judeo-Christian-hyper-hetero genital-based social roles as being all about butts3x.
Hell, back in the 19th Century, scholars of Ancient Greece twisted themselves into knots trying to hetero-wash all of the Ancient Greek city-states. They'd latch onto anything that they could twist into a condemnation of non-heterosexuality like a hungry chihuahua on a steak, then fixate on that one piece of "evidence", taken completely out of context, to the exclusion of the flood of evidence to the contrary. It wasn't until Kevin Dover came along and went, "Ummm… no. You're all ignoring the loudly-blaringly-obvious. Stop that. Let's look at Ancient Greece _honestly,"_ and wrote the book. [Specifically, the book, "Greek Homosexuality."] It's how [if you ask me] Sappho ended up with a husband whose name, translated accurately from Ancient Greek, is "Schlong from Man-Island." 😆
The Egyptians also respected transgender people. Archaeologists will find an anatomically male mummy that has been processed as a woman or an anatomically female mummy that has been processed as a man and assert the embalmers "made a mistake" like the ghosts of the embalmers aren't going to come back to curse them for accusing an ANCIENT EGYPTIAN EMBALMER of MAKING A MISTAKE about EMBALMING THE DEAD.
@@mamasimmerplays4702 How … how do they know it's "anatomically male/female"? We've heard in comments, both secondhand and from actual people in the field, that archaeologists can't tell sex just by looking at bones.
Or are the mummies preserved that well that you can identify the sex organs? Hmmm, nevermind, it's probably the latter, isn't it?

Fun fact, $700,000 dollars in pennies would weigh just under 193 tons 😬 good luck moving that too the bank
I just hope it's already rolled, because the banks around here only take bulk coins in rolls.

The Tale of Genji was written literally 1000 years ago and is about the relationships between people of different classes and the difficulties of trying to move upward through class hierarchy.
That's just off the top of my head.
(9:10) The amount of people who use "hunting" for gathering or similar. Even Wikipedia uses "Mushroom hunting" despite it not being what it's called, at least not commonly outside of USA (although USA and Wikipedia are making it more popular)
That is a hellish amount of pennies. Like, banks only keep a hundred dollars worth or so on hand (or at least my work does) just for day to day transactions for the week. A box of pennies, which is super heavy, has $25 worth of pennies. You would need several semitrucks to transport the pennies and no sane banking establishment would take all of them. They have the right to refuse service when the demands are insane. That is all assuming that the pennies are rolled and boxed too. If someone told me I could have 700k in loose pennies or 70k in bills I'd take the 70k. I would rather give up sweets than spend the next several months of my life trying to figure out what to do with all those pennies. That isn't even considering the cost to transport, roll, box, and exchange them.
The only valid reason to choose that table. Though I would still go for the pennies and hire a company to pick them up and exchange them for me. With the left over money I could still buy a house
A dollhouse, maybe. What with today's prices.
Honestly it’s highly illegal but this is a hypothetical so I’d just sell them to a scrapper for market rate.

Bakers dozen comes from the govt weighing baked goods a long time ago and a dozen was expected to weigh a certain amount based on the items. If it didn't meet the weight requirement there was a fine. To make sure that they met the weight they would throw an extra item in. Hence the baker's dozen.

Lmao I did the exact calculation Jamie did and I laughed so hard when he started doing it too
I always thought that the 13th item in a bakers dozen was designated for quality control… so the seller could make sure the batch came out right without taking from the actual dozen
8:31 I know this! The bakers dozen originates from regulations on bread. See, bread was the livelihood of most people. But some greedy bakers would try to save money by selling smaller pastries and what not, thus saving dough. So laws were passed forcing them to sell by weight. So when you ordered a dozen of something and the weight was slightly under, they'd throw in a smaller thirteenth to make up the difference. Then it just stuck around after the rules faded.
