No, lobsters die of exhaustion. They reach a size where they simply lack the energy reserves to molt so die of exhaustion once they get big enough. In theory you could help a lobster molt to purposely grow a giant one though.
That fact about schizophrenia is really interesting. It explains why in some tribal cultures people with mental illness are accepted and even revered due to the belief that they are close to God. They can hear and see things others can't. It's not surprising when their hallucinations are mostly positive in comparison to American patients.
@@MagnusOpite34 if this is interesting to you you should dig into it. There are a lot of folks who actually think this. Specifically schizophrenic people being able to read minds and whatnot.

@@gregorp9396 When I was in Grade School it was William & Mary but that was only because Harvard was accredited first. Now we need to know what group was for creating accreditation.

What I remember about the life shooting of Oswald was that the place was crowded with reporters and police and Ruby who had terminal cancer came into the area with gun drawn and almost everyone looked away and the ones who did not figured it was better not to cross the group who killed JFK. I was born noticing what doesn't belong but wish there were more of us around to stop letting the worst of the worst take all the marblesmost of the time.
Jeanne Calment, the most long-lived person of verifiable age, was born in 1875 and died in 1997 at the age of 122. She was born before the invention of the automobile and died a year before Google was founded. The oldest person who's still alive is Kane Tanaka, currently age 118. She was born in 1903, meaning she was alive during both the Spanish Flu and COVID-19.

Even though Mount Everest is the highest place on Earth, it technically isn’t the closest place on Earth to Outer Space. That would be Mount Chimboraza. This is because the Earth is not perfectly round, and Mount Chimboraza is located at the Equatorial Bulge of the Earth, which is the ‘bulging’ part of the Earth.
But isn't the space further from the center of the Earth near the equator because of this? Idk which definition of outer space you are using for that to work this way
@@MrGiygas1 Yeah, no. Okay, I found the article that seems to have the same sources as you. "The 'Highest' Spot on Earth?" has section "Let's Climb Some Equatorial Mountains". While it may be right about equatorial peaks being closest to the Moon orbit, It is incorrect about outer space. Both the mountains and Outer Space (starting from Karman line - 100km altitude) are measured from sea level, which is affected by squashiness of Earth, so these mountains are bulging out, but so does sea, atmosphere, and the border of space.
As a professionally diagnosed Schizophrenic, I can say from experience that, yes, your culture/environment plays a critical role. At one of the roughest parts of my treatment I read the same thing about people around countries in Africa, and I felt for the first time that I was legitimately capable of changing my situation. So I branched out with new and different music. I changed my way of speech and conduct, I decorated my home, and learned easy tips for cleaning. I read books that focused more on the importance of the human person, our experiences, the rights of health, education, ect, caring for the planet and I got a cat (who also helps because she never reacted to a hallucination, more easily allowing me to know new ones and if it was appropriate to freak out or not, like with a home invader, ect) Over the years the hallucinations not only drifted from violent and malicious, but actively "check in" on me in a manner of care and respect. I no longer have them as additional angry, irritable and aggressive symptoms but something more as a collective progression pieces all their own. While I cannot change my living situation as a whole nor my toxic family, it makes me feel good knowing I can press the message on to others that it is possible. The fact that they have created this Avatar Treatment makes me feel really good inside. I have a lot of hope for us affected.
Even more interesting is that some divers or people going for World Records breathe pure oxygen before holding their breath/diving without an oxygen tank/etc. as it’s much more potent
4:35 unfortunately/fortunately that's not true. While it's true, lobsters can't die from aging, once they hit around 100 the task of moulting and creating a new giant shell is so taxing they literally die from the exhaustion.

In 1927, Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs. That was more than any other TEAM in the league. In a 52-card deck, there are so many possible combinations for orders that you could have one combination for every second the universe has existed from the Big Bang today, and you would not have done 1/1billionth of them.
If you had someone who was immortal and had him go through every single possible combination from the Big Bang, he wouldn't be finished before the Heat Death of the Universe.
To put it into an even more crazy perspective: If every person on Earth (7.6 billion), had a deck of cards and shuffled them once a second and had done so since the university began existing (~13.6 billion years), they would so far have done about 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the possible combinations. 52! is 8.065817517094388*10^67 vs 3.25956096*10^27 combinations shuffled so far.
There was a man [Forgot name] in 1884 who traveled on a Ship on his way home. Unfortunately the ship sank and he survived, alot of people died ofc. He was so scared after that he swore to never get on board a boat pr ship ever again in his life, until in 1912 when he decided to conquer his fear and Get on a Inter-Continetal ship just for the experience. The ship he was on, was the SS Titanic.
_"He was so scared after that he swore to never get on board a ship ever again"_ This is why I think the stewardess had a hand in the sinkings, and it was corporate sabotage. Took that guy almost 30 years to get on another boat, but the stewardess went through 3 sinkings in 5 years but stayed in the field. Yeah right.

Before the first nuclear bomb test, scientists that were working on them did a calculation and it showed that there was a chance that it would cause a chain reaction in the atmosphere and turn the world into a fireball.

Tbh the purple heart one is the opposite of morbid, it’s extremely positive. America expected a tragic event so large in scope that they needed stockpiles of medals to make sure everyone was honoured for the horrible things they would’ve had to go through and to hear after it’s all said and done 90%-99% of them were useless, that must’ve been one of the greatest reports to hear EVER.

@@npc6817 I'm not saying that the nuking of 2 MAJOR cities was in any way a good thing and I will never say that.

I'm never defending those bombings, EVER!!! but I can also completely understand your POV, so my apologies for any unintentional ill will.
That first one about the purple hearts isn't entirely true. A bunch of those purple hearts were lost so a few more were minted during Vietnam, but they were found again.

4:39 There used to be giant lobsters that would grow up to around 2 feet. They were all hunted and due to overfishing, lobsters that are more than 10 inches are rare. There is a limit to their growth however, lobsters molt once a year when they reach adult stage, they usually die from predators or some other cause before they reach their size limit. Eventually, the lobster will grow so big, it becomes too tired to molt and just sits there as it slowly suffocates in its exoskeleton. Theoretically, a lobster could live well over 100 years.
Dubia roaches don’t. It’s one of the reasons why they’re so popular as reptile feeders. Crickets and a lot of other bugs can hurt or even kill small reptiles, but Dubia roaches just sit there. They also look like roly-polies, and they’re easy to take care of.
There's a sort of similar thing to fix lazy eye. They set the two screens to match with direct Vision for each eye. This helps train the brain to combine both feeds again. Over time, they shift the lazy eye closer and closer to forward. Essentially recalibrating your vision.
@@lazyryan3766 more people died in ww2 alone than the *entire* US population in 1865. Twice over. Not sure who told you that but it's not true. Add another 20 million from WW1 and it's about 100 million total. If that many people died during the Civil War, the US would not be here.
@@lazyryan3766 You're thinking of American Deaths. Of course there would be more amercians who died in a war that only involved american soldiers than in two wars that the USA joined late, but when you account for all deaths total, WW2 outscales the Amercan civil war in casualties by an insane amount. There were no firebombings or nukes in the Civil war, after all.
18:29 BTW, the best cleaner for bathtubs is actually Spray Nine engine degreaser and a gray 3M scotch pad (Yes, scotch pads come in different colors and the colors mean how "fine" the pad is.

No scrubbing like you need to do with clenser.
The A-10 Thunderbolt, a U.S. Air Force anti-tank plane, was designed and made in the 1970s. It has lived to see the F-14 Tomcat be designed, built, put into service, and retired. It remains to be one of the top weapons in the U.S. military, and the gun it uses so effectively against even modern tanks and armored trucks... ...was designed in 1864 by a pharmacist.
Of course, people who enjoy military documentaries probably already knew that the GAU-8 is Gatling's invention rebuilt with precision parts and a larger scale. It's just kinda crazy how far one idea can go though.
Fun fact. My native language only has around 80K speakers and is considered endangered by the UN, because all languages with under 100k speakers are considered endangered. But it has no chance of going extinct in next few centuries, at least, because it’s the main language of the area, and the only language in use on a day to day basis. The number of speaker is so low, because there simply aren’t more people to speak it there. The amount of people in the area is just ~50k and there are an estimated 25k to 30k emigrates and their descendants who speak it outside the country.
The black hole one is part of a story I’ve wanted to write for years. Two friends are bounty hunters for some Star Wars-esque civilization and one of them ends up falling into a black hole while the other is forced to escape. The falling guy turns around to watch his friend escape the black hole’s pull in their ship and then proceeds to watch the entire universe speed up until it all goes black as the last stars die out one by one. And then he himself dies.
Btw, if you're still gonna write that: The universe will get smaller and smaller the more you're close to the event horizon and the light from it gets blueshifted (or redshifted, i don't know right now, light is weird) until it's just a super bright point. Also, if the blackhole is supermassive enough, you won't have to become ouch-spaghetti but instead die a little later(you can watch the universe longer) from having your atoms molecules ripped and smashed apart by unimaginable radiation (Remember that shiny disk from interstellar? Something like that)
My first distinct memory was me turning the corner in my childhood home going towards my parent's room and thinking i was in a dream. To this day i still don't know if it was a dream or if i was actually aware; but i assume it wasn't since i remember stuff from right after that and onward as well.
Tarrare (c. 1772 - 1798), sometimes spelled Tarare, was a French showman and soldier, noted for his unusual appetite and eating habits. Able to eat vast amounts of meat, he was constantly hungry; his parents could not provide for him and he was turned out of the family home as a teenager. He travelled France in the company of a band of prostitutes and thieves before becoming the warm-up act for a travelling charlatan. In this act he would swallow corks, stones, live animals, and a whole basketful of apples. He then took this act to Paris where he worked as a street performer. At the start of the War of the First Coalition, Tarrare joined the French Revolutionary Army, where even quadruple the standard military ration was unable to satisfy his large appetite. He would eat any available food from gutters and refuse heaps but his condition still deteriorated through hunger. He was hospitalised due to exhaustion and became the subject of a series of medical experiments to test his eating capacity, in which, among other things, he ate a meal intended for 15 people in a single sitting, ate live cats, snakes, lizards, and puppies, and swallowed eels whole without chewing. Despite his unusual diet, he was underweight and, with the exception of his eating habits, he showed no signs of mental illness other than what was described as an apathetic temperament. General Alexandre de Beauharnais decided to put Tarrare's abilities to military use, and employed him as a courier for the French army, with the intention that he would swallow documents, pass through enemy lines, and recover them from his stool once safely at his destination. Tarrare could not speak German and on his first mission he was captured by Prussian forces, severely beaten, and underwent a mock execution before being returned to French lines. Chastened by this experience, he agreed to submit to any procedure that might cure his appetite, and was treated with laudanum, tobacco pills, wine vinegar, and soft-boiled eggs. The procedures failed, and doctors could not keep him on a controlled diet; he would sneak out of the hospital to scavenge for offal in gutters, rubbish heaps and outside butchers' shops, and attempted to drink the blood of other patients in the hospital and to eat the corpses in the hospital morgue. After being suspected of eating a toddler, he was ejected from the hospital. He reappeared four years later in Versailles with a case of severe tuberculosis and died shortly afterwards, following a lengthy bout of exudative diarrhoea.
Wayne Gretzky the highest scoring hockey player of all time also had more assists than any other player has goals and assists combined. when he retired in 1999 he held 61 official records in the sport - he still holds 60 of those (although several have been tied). his jersey number 99 was retired by every team.
To clarify the alphazero stuff, it actually has less computing power than stockfish by a huge margin, but has a very deep neural network which can see which line is the most promising to continue on that line.

Actually there's a limit on how big a lobster can get and survive the next molting. Most lobsters just give up and let themselves wear out, but a few try to molt anyway and die trying. Karl from Fact Fiend talked about it on his channel.

15:42 Okay but I actually remember that moment. I was about 2 years old and I was laying on the sofa in the living room on a sunny afternoon. It felt like waking up from a dream and everything was hazy. I vaguely knew who I was, where I was, and who my family were, but at the same time it felt like I had never seen any of it before. I also remember thinking something along the lines of “Huh... I guess I exist now”. Well, as much as a two year old could articulate that thought anyway. Unsurprisingly this is also my first memory.
No clue how old I was, but My mom was carrying me to my baby stroller, I remember looking at her with wide eyes confused and she even commented on how big my eyes are and said how cute I was. She went inside to grab something and my older sister was standing there bored, I remember looking at my hands, (which looked like an 2 years old hand) And was just shocked and kept flexing my hands “👋👊👋👊” I just suddenly existed, but somehow knew the lady was my mom and the other girl someone close (sister)
I distinctly remember when I was like, 2 or 3, I woke up one day and walked downstairs and just went “that’s my mom, that’s my dad, those are my siblings, I guess I know what I’m supposed to do” and that’s the earliest memory I have
My earliest memory If i *am* remembering it right, Would be at the age of around 3 walking/crawling between the dinner table/chair legs in the kitchen while "helping" my mother cook dinner. my memory starts getting fuzzy again soon after that moment but i believe that to be my "Life start" moment/Memory :DD
My first memory was when I was in a stroller at the age of two. My family was piling out of the van. It had green paint chipping off of it. I was looking at my mom as she was putting me in the stroller. My face was in the sun. The memory ended when the sun cover was put up. About 7 years later I was talking to my family and said, I remember when that van had green paint on it. And they were baffled because the paint was ground off when I was 3, and painted blue.
Adult lobsters shed their entire exoskeleton around once a year. This gets increasingly harder as they get older. Most die at around 30-60 years old (M/F) when they physically cant shed their shells anymore due to being too weak. It causes diesis under the exoskeleton when they cant shed then anymore, and this is seen as a “natural” death to a lobster

That first one about Purple Hearts is slightly wrong, a while back a large amount of the stockpile was misplaced so new Purple Hearts were actually minted, the misplaced stockpile has since been found but none of the new ones have yet to be use.

Not exactly - the Titanic did not merely hit an iceberg. Its hull had plates made of up to 40% pig iron. Also, said iron plates were _on fire_ for several weeks. Apparently, the entire crew knew there was an ongoing coal fire but the company didn't care. Metallurgy testing suggests the coal fire was exactly where the iceberg happened to hit. Lastly, the captain tried to reverse the ship, somehow not realizing this took away the ability to steer... As was the case for literally every propeller-driven ship of that era. Lastly, while the ship was probably doomed due to water inundating six bulkheads (the ship being designed to accommodate four) at least one bulkhead physically ruptured due to the aforementioned fire. It was absurd how many screw ups happened, mostly due to carelessness.
You know, the only reason they didn’t see the iceberg in time was because a guy who left the boat right before it departed took the keys to the closet with the binoculars in them
Actually, we can prove that we aren't in a simulation. Irrational numbers, like pi have infinite decimals, a thing that computers can't stand. So, as long that we never found the last decimal of pi, we are living safe in a non-simulated universe.
The simulation computer can just *make* new digits of irrational numbers when we try to calculate them. Oh, this dude is trying to break the world record of calculating digits of pi. Let me just make more of them so that he can continue.
That doesn’t work, because if something can simulate a universe worth of atoms, what stops the futuristic technology from generating a small infinite strings of numbers?

The Wild West effectively died out after WWI. The Wild West was also in existence during the Civil War Crazy to think that the Frontier existed for more than 300 years. It started with muskets and horses and ended with machine guns and aeroplanes. Only two viewable ships in the world have a Coles turret. One of these is the HMVS Cerberus, which is the last viewable ship from Australia's colonial navies (I say viewable as it can be clearly seen but it was scuttled and is technically not surviving) I swam out to it and stood on it just today. Only two nuclear weapons have been dropped in anger. Otherwise, any other nuclear weapon detonation was either an accident or a test. The Yamato (the largest battleship ever built) only fired it's main 18 inch armament once. The bodies of the first and last British soldier killed during WWI are buried right next to each other. Something like only 20% of Russian males born after 1920 survived WWII. This is the reason why a lot of ex-Soviet countries have a huge disparity in the amount of men to women.

Lobsters are not the only animal that just keeps growing, many reptiles and lizzards do as well. Geckos can be amazingly big if you keep feeding them, they eventually die of starvation, as they get too big and slow to catch anything.

Not sure if the dude that survived Hiroshima and Nagasaki is the luckiest or unluckiest man alive.
Both XD
Yes
I'd say luckiest, he got to live his life, even after that
But now that i think about it, his family and friends died, his home was probably gone and he was hurt
If anything, hes in he middle budged to the bad side
But now that i think about it even more, he was in pain his whole life, so he's is in the bad side
And, his whole life (after this event), sadly did not last long...
Somewhere in the middle, yes, he got to live his life, but the people, his friends and such died around him.
Definitely unluckiest, he may have lived but he was likely in horrific pain the entire time.

As a professionally diagnosed Schizophrenic, I can say from experience that, yes, your culture/environment plays a critical role. At one of the roughest parts of my treatment I read the same thing about people around countries in Africa, and I felt for the first time that I was legitimately capable of changing my situation. So I branched out with new and different music. I changed my way of speech and conduct, I decorated my home, and learned easy tips for cleaning. I read books that focused more on the importance of the human person, our experiences, the rights of health, education, ect, caring for the planet and I got a cat (who also helps because she never reacted to a hallucination, more easily allowing me to know new ones and if it was appropriate to freak out or not, like with a home invader, ect) Over the years the hallucinations not only drifted from violent and malicious, but actively "check in" on me in a manner of care and respect. I no longer have them as additional angry, irritable and aggressive symptoms but something more as a collective progression pieces all their own.
While I cannot change my living situation as a whole nor my toxic family, it makes me feel good knowing I can press the message on to others that it is possible. The fact that they have created this Avatar Treatment makes me feel really good inside. I have a lot of hope for us affected.

In a 52-card deck, there are so many possible combinations for orders that you could have one combination for every second the universe has existed from the Big Bang today, and you would not have done 1/1billionth of them.
1/1billionth is a very weird format to put it in. It's 1 billionth or 1/Billion.
In a freshly opened pack, they are in a very specific order though.
If you had someone who was immortal and had him go through every single possible combination from the Big Bang, he wouldn't be finished before the Heat Death of the Universe.
To put it into an even more crazy perspective:
If every person on Earth (7.6 billion), had a deck of cards and shuffled them once a second and had done so since the university began existing (~13.6 billion years), they would so far have done about 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the possible combinations.

4:39 There used to be giant lobsters that would grow up to around 2 feet. They were all hunted and due to overfishing, lobsters that are more than 10 inches are rare. There is a limit to their growth however, lobsters molt once a year when they reach adult stage, they usually die from predators or some other cause before they reach their size limit. Eventually, the lobster will grow so big, it becomes too tired to molt and just sits there as it slowly suffocates in its exoskeleton. Theoretically, a lobster could live well over 100 years.

Tarrare (c. 1772 - 1798), sometimes spelled Tarare, was a French showman and soldier, noted for his unusual appetite and eating habits. Able to eat vast amounts of meat, he was constantly hungry; his parents could not provide for him and he was turned out of the family home as a teenager. He travelled France in the company of a band of prostitutes and thieves before becoming the warm-up act for a travelling charlatan. In this act he would swallow corks, stones, live animals, and a whole basketful of apples. He then took this act to Paris where he worked as a street performer.
At the start of the War of the First Coalition, Tarrare joined the French Revolutionary Army, where even quadruple the standard military ration was unable to satisfy his large appetite. He would eat any available food from gutters and refuse heaps but his condition still deteriorated through hunger. He was hospitalised due to exhaustion and became the subject of a series of medical experiments to test his eating capacity, in which, among other things, he ate a meal intended for 15 people in a single sitting, ate live cats, snakes, lizards, and puppies, and swallowed eels whole without chewing. Despite his unusual diet, he was underweight and, with the exception of his eating habits, he showed no signs of mental illness other than what was described as an apathetic temperament.
General Alexandre de Beauharnais decided to put Tarrare's abilities to military use, and employed him as a courier for the French army, with the intention that he would swallow documents, pass through enemy lines, and recover them from his stool once safely at his destination. Tarrare could not speak German and on his first mission he was captured by Prussian forces, severely beaten, and underwent a mock execution before being returned to French lines.
Chastened by this experience, he agreed to submit to any procedure that might cure his appetite, and was treated with laudanum, tobacco pills, wine vinegar, and soft-boiled eggs. The procedures failed, and doctors could not keep him on a controlled diet; he would sneak out of the hospital to scavenge for offal in gutters, rubbish heaps and outside butchers' shops, and attempted to drink the blood of other patients in the hospital and to eat the corpses in the hospital morgue. After being suspected of eating a toddler, he was ejected from the hospital. He reappeared four years later in Versailles with a case of severe tuberculosis and died shortly afterwards, following a lengthy bout of exudative diarrhoea.

It felt like waking up from a dream and everything was hazy. I vaguely knew who I was, where I was, and who my family were, but at the same time it felt like I had never seen any of it before. I also remember thinking something along the lines of “Huh... I guess I exist now”. Well, as much as a two year old could articulate that thought anyway. Unsurprisingly this is also my first memory.

I distinctly remember when I was like, 2 or 3, I woke up one day and walked downstairs and just went “that’s my mom, that’s my dad, those are my siblings, I guess I know what I’m supposed to do” and that’s the earliest memory I have
My earliest memory If i *am* remembering it right, Would be at the age of around 3 walking/crawling between the dinner table/chair legs in the kitchen while "helping" my mother cook dinner. my memory starts getting fuzzy again soon after that moment but i believe that to be my "Life start" moment/Memory :DD
My first memory was when I was in a stroller at the age of two. My family was piling out of the van. It had green paint chipping off of it. I was looking at my mom as she was putting me in the stroller. My face was in the sun. The memory ended when the sun cover was put up.
About 7 years later I was talking to my family and said, I remember when that van had green paint on it. And they were baffled because the paint was ground off when I was 3, and painted blue.

Adult lobsters shed their entire exoskeleton around once a year. This gets increasingly harder as they get older. Most die at around 30-60 years old (M/F) when they physically cant shed their shells anymore due to being too weak. It causes diesis under the exoskeleton when they cant shed then anymore, and this is seen as a “natural” death to a lobster
That should count as old age becuase there is no specific death called "old age"

Apparently, the entire crew knew there was an ongoing coal fire but the company didn't care. Metallurgy testing suggests the coal fire was exactly where the iceberg happened to hit. Lastly, the captain tried to reverse the ship, somehow not realizing this took away the ability to steer... As was the case for literally every propeller-driven ship of that era. Lastly, while the ship was probably doomed due to water inundating six bulkheads (the ship being designed to accommodate four) at least one bulkhead physically ruptured due to the aforementioned fire.
It was absurd how many screw ups happened, mostly due to carelessness.
You know, the only reason they didn’t see the iceberg in time was because a guy who left the boat right before it departed took the keys to the closet with the binoculars in them
It was corporate sabotage. Some people benefitted _substantially_ from the sinkings.

Actually, we can prove that we aren't in a simulation.
Irrational numbers, like pi have infinite decimals, a thing that computers can't stand.
So, as long that we never found the last decimal of pi, we are living safe in a non-simulated universe.
The simulation computer can just *make* new digits of irrational numbers when we try to calculate them.
Oh, this dude is trying to break the world record of calculating digits of pi. Let me just make more of them so that he can continue.
Or maybe the computer is unimaginable, something beyond our comprehension because we are INSIDE it.
It’s more likely that we simply haven’t the technology yet.
That doesn’t work, because if something can simulate a universe worth of atoms, what stops the futuristic technology from generating a small infinite strings of numbers?
@@sumdudenamed_nic the point is that a conventional computer can’t simulate a simple infinite string of numbers, let alone something like a universe. Computers only work based on very specific instructions. The universe is too random.
For one of their Tours Rammstein bought 4 tons of Lycopodium powder from the chinese (they made around 12 tons that year)
What for?
@@raellskys4083 rammstein is a german metal band, if you head over to some of their youtube videos you can see the wacky amount of pyrotechics they use, including but not limited to: shooting rockets over people's heads, large flame throwers on stage, fire shooting guitars, small explosions for some of the big stage acts they do for songs, and a burning pair of wings
At least one of them has a pyrotechnics license.
And yes they shoot ludicrous amounts of fire during live shows

"It's not known what caused the sinking of the Britannic"
She was a hospital ship in ww2. During her duties, she was torpedoed by a U-boat. Badly too, as she sank fully beneath the waves within an insane _2 minutes._
For reference, her ill-fated newborn sister took over 2 hours to sink.
The Britannic was sunk in the span of time it took me to type this comment.
6:06 The thing about there being more privately owned tigers in Texas than ones in the wild, that is heartbreaking. The number of animals overall in the wild is shockingly low. The amount of land left on Earth that is truly "wild", untouched by destructive human practices, is depressingly low. If we are going to save this planet (and ourselves), one essential step is giving back some of that land to the wild, and protecting it.

One of my favorite fun facts: One witness to the Lincoln assassination in 1865 appeared on television to tell his story.
What's my Line?
In James Cameron's 1989 movie "Abyss" there's a scene where they submerged a rat in a liquid and the rat starts breathing it like oxygen ! Well there's multiple facts about this :
1- This fluid is real and its called Perfluorocarbon (PFC)
2- This scene used a real rat and was made irl without any tricks but science
3- The idea of breathable liquid was sarted, studied and tested when ppl were searching ways to explore deeper parts of ocean while trying to solve the problem of underwater pressure and acheiving better mobility
The nuclear bomb survivor must have felt like the world was out to get him
Being covid19 vaccinated doesn't stop you from contracting or transmitting covid19.
yes, it only protects the vaccinated against more serious symptoms
I thought that was common sense
@@matheussanthiago9685 nope!
Vaccines don't stop anything. All they do is give your body the anti-bodies it needs so when you get the virus/disease again your body will kill it fast, usually before you have any symptoms Then again if it dies before you feel the symptoms it's like you never had it.
It is still as contagious as before thoguh..
There is a bug who's bite can make you allergic to red meat. Can't remember if it was in Africa or Australia.
Oh that’s probably a tick. We don’t have them in Western Australia but I’m not sure about the other states. You have to be really careful for ticks in the bush though because they can bite you without you knowing
Ticks can do this, especially the lonestar and deer ticks common on the East Coast of the US. Affects a handful of americans every year.
(Fun fact climate change in the US is making ticks more commonplace as the temperatures they can survive and mate in are becoming available in more places for longer periods each year)
Those annoying small square blankets that don’t cover your whole legs but just your thighs are called lap blankets. They were created to protect ladies clothes from the fur of their fluffy small lap dogs. The blankets would be heavily embroidered and decorated and the dogs were status symbols frequently pictured in paintings
The first person to die has the world record of staying still.
The Wild West effectively died out after WWI. The Wild West was also in existence during the Civil War Crazy to think that the Frontier existed for more than 300 years. It started with muskets and horses and ended with machine guns and aeroplanes.
Only two viewable ships in the world have a Coles turret. One of these is the HMVS Cerberus, which is the last viewable ship from Australia's colonial navies (I say viewable as it can be clearly seen but it was scuttled and is technically not surviving) I swam out to it and stood on it just today.
Only two nuclear weapons have been dropped in anger. Otherwise, any other nuclear weapon detonation was either an accident or a test.
The Yamato (the largest battleship ever built) only fired it's main 18 inch armament once.
The bodies of the first and last British soldier killed during WWI are buried right next to each other.
Something like only 20% of Russian males born after 1920 survived WWII. This is the reason why a lot of ex-Soviet countries have a huge disparity in the amount of men to women.
The youngest picture of you is also the oldest picture of you. Also, life is just constantly killing time until time kills you
18:13 This right here is the EXACT reason I insist on sitting in the master bedroom while my mother showers.
After a fall, I have made never moving my feet/position in the shower with my eyes closed a habit. I think it is when people have their eyes closed rinsing and try to turn around or step that they get disoriented and lose balance to slip most often. Stand still until the soap is clear and you can see what you're doing, there isn't that much a hurry.
@@WinkLinkletter Well, my mother's condition is more the side effect of surgical error.

That whole vampires waking up to find out humans can utterly ruin their shit is a theme in one of my books where they went from being hunted by the occasional human hero to being slotted by farmer Joe with his clapped out Ruger mini 14
Makes me think of the original Night of the Living Dead. Where the zombies aren't much of a threat becuase of the rednecks having fun.
2:00 damn he was near two atomic bombs and still lived to 94
15:51 I was 3 when that happened. I dont even remember waking up that day.
Reminds me of the fact that mandarins aren't small oranges. Mandarins are a natural species while oranges are a hybrid cross between a mandarin and pomelo tree. Which, considering the fruit predates the colour name, means that the colour "orange" should actually be called "Standard Chinese."
This is the funnest fact
1:36 exactly the same happened when ancient Aztec (Mexica) people got to Teotihuacán («City of the Gods»). Who built the pyramids and the whole city there is still a mystery.

5:23 If Milky Way galaxy has had one supernova explosion in 50 years, the universe would've had 1 577 836 800 supernova explosions in the same amount of time.
(Disclaimer, the math might be off so feel free to correct me.)
I think it's 47,304,000,000 in that time but I'm not sure myself (seconds in a year×50×30, out of curiosity how did you get yours?)
@@spicysalad3013 Might very well be. I calculated how many days there would be in 50 years (including leap years). Then I calculated how many seconds there is in a day (3600 sec. in an hour*24). Then I multiplied that with the amount of days in 50 years and that's how I got that number. I suck at math so something probably went wrong somewhere in the process.
15:42 that is really "let that sink in" for me
The Purple Heart bit is absolute BS. The DoD contracts the manufacture of medals to civilians companies like Graco Awards Manufacturing. They don’t have a huge warehouse of old Purple Hearts theyre still whittling down whenever one is awarded.
13:03 most likely. but buildings, roads. and bridges there collapse at an alarming rate for the past 5 years now.
The guy who got nuked and still showed up to work, covered in burns... Mad respect. That's the most Japenese thing I've ever heard of. In all seriousness its crazy that he lived to be 93 after surviving two nuclear blasts.

Who the hell told the guy that AlphaZero plays in a human way??? It plays even weirder than engines like Stockfish. It literally sacrifices everything because it sees a position 40 moves into the future.

But it did ended up winning?
Lobsters are not the only animal that just keeps growing, many reptiles and lizzards do as well. Geckos can be amazingly big if you keep feeding them, they eventually die of starvation, as they get too big and slow to catch anything.
7:44 it’s also highly unlikely because the buoyancy of a human in quicksand makes it so that you can’t sink all the way
By the end of you watching this video, there has been about 48 supernovas in the observable universe since you first clicked on it.
Lobsters do die of old age actually. Eventually they get to a point where the amount of energy they need to move their big bodies with not suffice. When they shed into a bigger body they will die.
but its *technically* death from exhaustion rather than from old age
Food costs money, rich people exist, and starving people exist.
