Do you think you produce more or less waste than the average person?
I think I'm the average person
Considerably less food waste. But significantly more non biodegrable and chemical waste through work. However, I have chosen not to have children. Maybe that balances out?
Asking honestly though, as a regular prole, what more can I do to reduce my waste output when companies insist on using enormous amounts of avoidable packaging? And on that note, why do I need to pay more to get biodegradable items, when the same biodegradable options are often cheaper and easier to produce? (For example, meat comes in plastic packaging, not waxed paper.)
less, because i make a contious effort to not waste things
video is too long and it doesn't need to be , that is why i didn't watch
More
This channel deserves so much more views they go through so much effort and research for one video
yeh
Thanks 😊 Hopefully if we can nail down a regular production schedule then the views will become more reliable.
Kieran, i couldn't agree more
Yeah, thats why i always watch their vids multiple times a day
You should check out the infographics show
*"You can break my bones,
but you can never make me unsubscribe from Debunked"*
This channel is truly amazing.
🤣 that is dedication! Thanks 😊
depends what bones they are, and if i can subscribe back if i am unsubscribed
1:16
Spongebob while taking care of the "baby" and how many diapers it used
to patrick": hmmm HMmmm HMMMMMMMM
I think one reason young people don't recycle as much because we have more information about how recycling works and the who the real contributers to waste are. We know most products we put in the recycle bin do not actually get recycled and the regular consumer produces very, very little waste compared to industrial/production waste. So we're like, "what's the point".
Reduce, Reuse, recycle,
Just do your bit
This channel deserves more love they put so much work into every video.
I couldn't agree more
Here in Japan, recycling is hardcore, with each city getting really specific. Like, certain kinds of recycling needs to be put out on certain days (i.e ferric metals on this day, PET plastics on this day etc) and how it prepared beforehand (i.e washed, gas canisters punctured etc). And you'll incur the wrath of the neighborhood housewives if you don't do it correctly. It gives the impression they're taking it really seriously, since recycling needs to be sorted, and you gotta wonder how thorough the countries who have their citizens put it all in one bin are being. Are they actually recycling all of it or is a certain amount getting redirected into landfill?
Not everything can be recycled,
but I'm sure they are trying their best
This is the reason why we must strictly limit/stop reproduction.
I agree. Overpopulation is enorm
Tell that to China and India. Lol.
Christianity says be fruitful and multiply and make more poop
I subbed to this channel when it started and now it has over 500k subs, all well deserved. Love seeing when you've uploaded a video, it's like a little surprise injection of infotainment into my day. Hope you get a lot more subs so you can schedule regular uploads, keep up the good work.
Thanks J Dog 👍
I'm just shooketh that 2 T Rexs is the same as 9 cows...
Love this channel.. I get so gassed when I see it pop up in my notifications ❤❤
Same here. I think the T-rex is overhyped. I know of dinosaurs capable of more damage
I wish I could remember all this!
By becoming a subscriber, you don't have to! You can get a steady stream of interesting videos like this right on your smart phone on demand any time you need to show one of your friends these amazing factoids, it's free and it helps the channel. Become a subscriber today!
Fun fact: A "factoid" is something that is believed to be true when it isn't, because it has been circulated around and repeated for so long it's became common belief and accepted as fact.
You could download the video and watch it offline, or you could play it on a near sound system all the time.
@@JDog88 Example, we have 5 senses.
It's a factoid because we actually have up to 20 including thirst.
@@tiny_frost8 That's a good one I like, I think I remember hearing that on QI ages ago and it stuck :) I always like little knowledge nuggets like that.
I've always been curious about that, thanks for the vid!
Thanks for watching! Please sub and share if you haven’t 😁
Hi! I recently found this channel and love the super interesting myths and theories. Could you also talk about parallel dimensions? Or the existence of other galaxies like our Milky Way with their planets (or even maybe the same ones)? I don't think, in the whole universe, we're the only thing existing or the only galaxy. Thank you if you do!
Oh also about the myth of aliens: are they really deforming creatures or it's just a "space" name we give to the ones not from our planet? 🤔
Amazing video as usual!
Hey, thanks for cheering me up.
I hate when good food goes to waste.
This is so interesting!
I love this video, but did I miss what you were debunking? Lol
Stu - did you get this idea from your adventures with your little one? ❤
Thanks Melissa. We were approaching this from the view that most people underestimate how much waste they create, so not a myth more of a misconception about their personal garbage pile.
@@DebunkedOfficial that's very true. I was shocked at just what we produce naturally. That's fascinating. All of the artificial waste is gross. Well done!
I'm 24 and I always recycle my paper glass and plastic. I use all of my metal and electronic waste for either recovery/refining, or to take to the junk yard for cash. Some of it can't be taken to the junkyard like catfood cans or takeout containers so I melt them down to make usable items.
Loved the video! If I could suggest one thing, I'd wish that the videos were less US-centric though
Animation in your video - I like very - very much.
Thanks very much 😊
Oh man... I'm 28 years behind the curb... Or 40 years early 🤔
Never knew this was uploaded
5:54 That's incorret, burning fossil fuels produces 35 BILLION tons of CO2 per year, not 35 million. So our breathing is equivalent to about 0.008% of fossil fuel emissions, not 8%.
This channel has to go viral any other day now!! It’s so good!
Exactly what i thought
My Mum didn't use nappies.
Finally another new video
This research need more views and like
A well designed referigerator and air-conditioning then reduces a lot of needed of unwanted things but must maje sure they last 20 years to reduce waste..with refrigerator we can make ice cream and water and use thermokinetic or peltier cell air-conditioner can produce electricity to power referigerator and cool ambient
Hmmmm.... interesting
I definitely should turn on notifications.
I dont think tge algorithm liked this one. But I enjoyed it. Hope you get the views you deserve!
Good thing is we have our own waste management guy.
Is the poop wet weight or after drying out?
Another egregious error...I recycle 90% to 95% of all of the paper that comes to me.
This is scary!
Sadly it is scary how much we produce 🤦♂️
I'm curious enough that I have to watch this but I really don't want to know.
"Lastly, we also have to factor in the gases that humans produce... BURP FART..."
Captions at its finest
Me who produces 782 liters of tears a day
Does anyone know what happened to the Uncovered channel? All the videos on that channel are now gone
It was shut down. TH-cam's new policies about "misinformation" and "conspiracy theories" made uncovered and similar channels demonotized and removed them from the feed. A step further YT took down or changed the videos to private. They only want "advertiser friendly" content on YT.
never saw this. algorithm is fucked. good vid.
Big yikes. I wonder how much gasoline we each burn in a lifetime 🤔
Bloody hell what is this comparison to human hearts
the food waste is depressing
Basically, don't exist at all, therefore, you can't waste anything. Lol.
There really needs to be a child limit of no more than 2 kids per couple. Anyone who has more than that is selfish, irreaponaible and does not care for this planet. Those religious families who have tons are just the worst.
The fertility rate in the developed world is below replacement. Overpopulation is a myth.
Most Millennials aren't aged between 16-34. We're older now (I'm a Millennial and I'm 38.) You're thinking Gen Z.
I don't see how a single child can use 6500 diapers over a 2.5 year span. 6500 diapers averages 7.12 diapers a day. 10,000 averages 11 diapers a day! Yes, little babies often use 6 or more a day, but not after a few months of age. I'd like more info to back up such claims...
Anybody else get confused 1.8 million in 1920???? there was over 100 million in the US alone. So did I miss something!
Apologies, that’s 1.8 Billion.
wow
What was your favourite waste fact?
Took the words right out of my mouth, dylan
With out putting this in a mean way my little brother is... slower BUT he is very smart and still wears diaper.. and he's 4 but the crazy thing is he CAN READ
Humans society have grown so much, we are just a number walking around at this point.
Then again, we're still so small compared to the rest of the universe, in terms of scale and energy used. If the universe is as big as we say it is, though. Lol.
Still Waiting for new vids
I'm deboooookning!
Debooooooonked. I like it 👍
@@DebunkedOfficial Based 30yo deboonker!
So am i
Man, just merely existing can cause problem to the rest of the world as a whole. Lol.
And furthermore above the plastics breaking down everything on the planet is made of carbon the air we exhale to the dirt to the trees to everything it's all made of carbon
We are carbon-based lifeform
I feel like I can't see the forest through the trees with all that data. Some of the numbers were meaningless, like the amount of saliva we produce -- it's not like we spit it out. But mostly, what does all the data mean? I've heard it both ways, that it doesn't really matter because there is plenty of space to bury it all, or that it does matter for various reasons.
We are destroying the forests 🌳.
It's simply pure information. It may not be useful now, but it will matter someday. Chill
Hey...uh... Debunked,.... when's the next video?
Hi
1.8 "million"?
Billion. Apologies.
@@DebunkedOfficial sorry. Not trying to be a dick.
Don't apologize, our mistake.
Tons of gas
Its rare for me to ever waste food, i only cook what i need, and eat it all. Even if i buy something that turns out rank i just force it down and remember to never buy it again. Im not a fat bastard either. I cant be the only person like that?? Does everyone waste food?
Edit: Even if i buy a smoothie drink, once ive drank the thing i add a bit of water, shake it up, and get out that last bit. But thats more a case of me liking the flavour over not wanting to food. Still. I cant imagine many do that either
I too cook what I need and eat it all, very rarely waste food, try to eat everything before it expires or goes bad. For all non food trash I always recycle as much as I can. It's also illegal where I live to throw recyclable trash with the non recyclable, also our trash bags have to be transparent so the garbage people can see what's inside.
Good for you, you are saving the planet.
Keep up the good work
i proud myself on wasting food, so yeah ur the only one
At 12:00, you say 13,000 kg is the weight of 9 cows, implying 1 cow = 1.44 tonnes.
This does not make sense.
www.beefmagazine.com/cow-calf/relationship-between-cow-size-production says "The average cow size across all breeds is 1,390 lbs".
This is equal to just 630 kg. Did you, by mistake, use the pound value instead of kg here?
Wanted to point this out because, for a channel that is into "Debunking" stuff, this was a glaring factual error. Now, I am left doubting the rest of the "facts" presented here.
Please pay more attention to such stuff.
Note: I concede that the heaviest bull (world record) has weight over 1.5 tonnes (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle#Weight), but that's not a typical cow.
Apologies we've traced the source and it's nine... teen cows, not nine. The weight figures themselves are all correct and this one is comparable to two T-Rex's but that instead equates to nineteen cows, there was a miscommunication between the team somewhere. We'll see if there is any way to add a correction retroactively. Thanks for watching and apologies about the rare hiccup.
Did you quit?
90% of my waste is cat litter.
Edit: Well she's dead now ....
🤔😹
Once my cat was not peeing for a month an I was scared as peeing is of course necessary for any creature , I thought that my cat is sick or had some disease so I took it to a doctor and doctor said there was not a single problem . I got confused and started investigating later I found that my cat was peeing on the piles of newspaper which is stacked in one corner of garage for the recycle man to take it. One month of pee was soaked in it .
LoL.
Well use the toilet =P
@@MrLobstermeat Too late, she died last week.
@@Sinaeb Well thats Horrible!! Sorry
Bruh
this video has been debunked by several credible sources including snopes and washington post.
bwaaa
Your plastic breakdown says 10 years from normal plastics 450 years for a plastic bottle and thousands of years for other stuff I'm just asking you to put any plastic product in your backyard and open sunlight and exposed to the ground or paper product you'll find a deteriorates so quickly it's unbelievable
I think you guys got a little carried away with the weight comparisons
You're all going on about how great this channel is but it's not even fact checked and half the claims aren't explained properly to make them sound more amazing.
All the sources are linked below the video. Feel free to fact-check and let us know if you found any inconsistencies.
@@esce69 There's plenty of errors. There is a rather major error at 5:54 as burning fossil fuels produces 35 BILLION tons of CO2 per year, not 35 million. So our breathing is equivalent to about 0.008% of fossil fuel emissions, not 8%.
People make mistakes🤷. Deal with it
im sorry man, love your channel but why are you comparing the amount of waste made to 9 full grown elephants lol....just use metric
This video should be shown to all pregnant women and then asked do they really, really want that 3rd and 4th child or would they rather help save the planet.
I'm a millennial and I'm 36. So is my sister and she's 41. 18-25 are Gen Z. Youngest millennials are 27. Can everyone stop conflating millennials and douchy teenagers. We have not been teens for 10-20yrs. It is a very lazy media trope not based in actual reality.
And if u just want have loads of babys u need to have a plan for them to schools jobs and apartment If we dont think how it effekt our planet... You are not alone there People that want to have kids to on this planet and they maby want to have 2 kids.. tho now need to have just one because of others familys big familys something to think about.. tho me i wish i dident have One here this planet is for adults and for us to die and let this planet to repar itself for next human hybrid wave
Tho now it to late for that to personaly i thing it gona be new bigbang and timeless with other things in it.. tho it just me and my fantasy 😂😌💕
Guess I got to use a menstrual cup sooner rather than later....OMG!!
I'll try period panties first because I just can't get over the potential mess and discomfort of a menstrual cup. Like I don't want to use a sink at work to wash it out, that is disgusting and completely not thoughtful to the others that use that sink.
Thats cool but nobody asked :P
@@Its_zanex It's a natural biological process that contributes
to non-biodegradable waste
A brilliant video, like everyone else! If you had a moment to take a look at my channel and advise me on anything, I would be honored!
Dont take it personal tho religions need to change or it gona be humans domsday
at minimum 8 nappies a day ? talk crap man
Debunked, Another common form of waste is of course, time. And whenever you interrupt your video to discuss about your sponsor, you're wasting time, more specifically, the time of viewers who aren't interested. Do yourself a favor and keep your sponsorships at the end of your videos.
Mid rolls. The placement is intentional, sponsorships are how the channel makes money, so obviously a channel will want their sponsorship to perform well. If you like the content, understand the fact that the only way they're able to produce it is from these ads. Do us all a favor and don't bitch about the most common way content creators make their money.
Dude, imagine you own a website, right?
And you're offered $20,000 to put up an ad.
Would you or would you not accept it?
Everyone wants to make a profit.
So, yeah, it's understandable if there are 100ads in a video.
