Top 10 plot twists in history.
mind-blown 💥
Hi Ultimate, I did this short film about a frog trying to get a kiss. It would mean a lot if you checked it out! Thank you fam.
Whacky Scripts Ok.
Top 10 anime twist
But "Austria" for this video purpose would be better.)
"That is 10 million dollars. More than the price of a Toyotta Corolla."
A Guy Using The Internet Well he's not wrong... 😂
real life lore reference by hai?

RealLifeLore x Half as Interesting
"That's 10 million dollars, more than this comment took to think of"
3:03 I see a Real Life Lore reference here!
Maybe CERN didn't alter reality to make Trump pres, but they did alter reality to mix up Real Life Lore and Half As Interesting videos
Dan Salemme mind blown
Wait what if I put a Toyota Corolla in a fr-
Wait... wrong channel.
aewcte987126v or right: 3:02
Yup!!!!
qua
RRL LOL!!
@@ON-YT OFF
They say Christopher Nolan watched this video to prepare for "Tenet"...
I was just thinking that!
I am billionaire who has bunch of art pieces, however I spent all of my cash on Toyota Corollas. If anyone's interested in buying art pieces, hit me up...
Can I buy one for 2.5k
What can I get for 2K corollas?
*Shut Up And Take My Legally Acquired Money!!111!1!!1!*
apparently my literature club president is a billionaire, huh
Aleksandar Delic I'm in the usvi funding up a international marketing cooperative and issuing shares ground floor 💫
0:39
France's flag looks gorgeous next to South Africa's flag!
AYOOO LMFAO
I’m surprised that security at the freeport is sufficient for such valuable pieces of art
bro is actually the protagonist
I guess maybe it wasn't a smart just doing an ad catering to billionaires. There can't be very many watching this channel but to find out, respond to this comment if you're a billionaire.
Half as Interesting aye
Half as Interesting Not a billionaire....yet.
I'm a Zimbabwean dollar billionaire.
Im a millionare. Trust me
I am the Nigerian king.
Is there an audio book for your kind of humor?
I'd buy that
oops, buy*
His podcast Showmakers is a good alternative
You could maybe try Kurt Vonnegut, specifically Slaughterhouse Five
That warehouse is not part of Australia *because it is in Norway*
How could Wendover leave out the part where a taxiing 747 crashes into the Freeport? He of all people should’ve covered that!
lol
but in all seriousness, this video was released two years before the movie so...
but this is sam and he hates sam from wendover for stealing his ideas
Tom Scott, CGP Grey and you are god's gift to this world.
Mohd Haffiszul Mohd Said u should listen to planet money then
Go check out Extra Credits and Simple History
PolyMatter is good

More like Twice As Interesting Amirite
Frick, I didn't spot this.
5tudent_Loans Yes.
Three times as interesting since Wendover only uploads every 3 weeks now
Eric He Lol.
Is that an IKEA warehouse at 4:12?😅
It is, funny how he says tax free at the same time...
Nice spot!
Momo on Tour oof, i actually like Sweden/ikea
Kjøtbollar
No its a dark bleak warehouse oh wait nevermind there the same thing :P
Who remebered this after watching Tenet?
0:41 ah good to see the French represented in this video!!
It's Dutch. It's the Dutch embassy in Berlin.
Hahaha good one
Lyrewyn r/woooosh
@@Lyrewyn no, it's the Fenech national flag, in all its plain white glory.
@@PeterNjeim Ah, I only noticed the Dutch flag a second later, which is very similar to the French tricolore. I missed the true white French flag.
And this isn't part of Australia... it's in Switzerland (edit- Norway) 😂
OJ The Aviator He said Norway 🇳🇴 though
Oops!
You can delete
@@tatotenaglia6548 I could. But that would make Rohith Eppepali's comment make no sense, and I don't mind admitting I made a mistake and someone corrected me. Good on Rohith for pointing it out!
Awesome video! Score another one for the faceless billionaires of the world. I didn't really think about freeports as being semi-permanent income/tax dodges for the super rich. I figured they were more for typical commercial logistics. Silly me!
I came for the warehouses, but stayed for the seemless audible transition.
These sponsorships are becoming my favorite meme.
Your sense of humor is just awesome. I'm starting to like this channel more than Wendover just because of it.
Love your videos. This is the only channel I immediately click on when the notification pops up. Keep up the good work!
For me this and Wendover productions!
WHY TOYOTA COROLLA, SAM???? it's only going to be said by RLL
Paul Tsang p
I wonder if Christopher Nolan watched this video...
😂 the funiest when it was not in Australia because it was in Norway
xD
Funniest not funiest
I know everyone has said it before, but I love how you make your ad transitions fit with the subject of the video.
Someone listened to last weeks Planet Money.
I'll admit that I did see that they covered this topic, but this has been a planned topic for HAI for months so I'm guilt-free! I can't recommend that podcast enough, though.
I love that now he is advertising to billionaires
OJ The Aviator It might seem like he's targeting new demographics, but he's not. His regular viewers became Billionaires by learning skills from Skillshare, building their websites with Squarespace, and staying on top of the game listening to books on Audible.
This was super well edited and full of humor. Great job!
What is the host country benefiting from by creating these freeports? Wouldnt they much prefer the extra tax?
Think of it this way - if they can't benefit from free ports, they won't GO to those ports. For example, maybe a ship makes a double stop - half its goods are stored on a freeport to be sent to elsewhere on another ship, and half its goods are sold in the country, tax and all. If you remove the incentive to freeport, they won't GO to that port.
Haha I really appreciate the warehouse in Norway joke
I am a truck driver, I get to pick up and drop off in free ports, but usually to another free ports else where. Yes I do have to carry an exemption paperwork for that cargo while in transit. Also a lot of times I don't know what's in there. Even when going between USA and Canada.
0:23 Lmao
3:04 Your killing me man
"More than the cost of a Toyota Corolla"
*RLL:* _TRIGGERED_
M’y wife once had a job interview with a gem cutter/appraiser who was installed in the Geneva Freeport (Port-franc) and I used to work for a motorcycle dealer who regularly had to buy motorcycle spare parts from a French supplier who had a wholesale distributor set up shop inside. Going there to fetch orders had this Indiana Jones lost ark feel to it each time.....
I love how the "Dark, bleak, tax free warehouse" is an Ikea self serve area!
Planet money just did an episode on this.
itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/planet-money/id290783428?mt=2&i=1000401880155
Half as Interesting (in another comment on this vid): "I'll admit that I did see that they covered this topic, but this has been a planned topic for HAI for months so I'm guilt-free! I can't recommend that podcast enough, though."
Ben Lentz Okay, I didn't see that.
I love that you show IKEA as a "dark, bleak, yet tax-free warehouse"
Is it me, or is Geneva over-represented? Being Genevan myself, I noticed that this city of 500'000 has been mentioned 3 times in these videos:
1. The ISO
2. The Freeport, at P+R Étoile
3. CERN
Please let us know if you ever plan to come by
Riccardoricc oui, mais il y a quand même des chiens gardes et des securitas partout
So they're bonded warehouses? Lots everywhere. Nice and interesting video : )
When you mentioned South Africa, I smiled! So, Hi from South Africa. Very informative video, keep em comin!
Similar to this, part of Hamburg port was leased to Czechoslovakia as part of the Treaty of Versailles. Even though the treaty is now abandoned and CS has split into CZ and SK, it is now an agreement between CZ and Hamburg Port whereby goods will not be interfered with while being transferred between river ships and ocean ships.
Did you get the idea for this video from Planet Money's podcast "Planet Monet"? They talked about the same thing recently as well
Hey man, it’s pretty cool that you mention the Freeport in Geneva, I didn’t know what that building was and that such an important painting was in it. The building is literally a 10 min walk from my house.
Really enjoyed this episode! Thanks for your good work
Lol I love the mention of the Toyota Corolla. Big fan of RealLifeLore as well :)
And this doesn't even get into foreign trade zones. Foreign trade zones, are like free ports, in that incoming items are not taxed, outgoing items however are taxed as imports. Car manufacturers use these special regions to avoid paying import fees on parts, and then just import the whole car at a lesser amount.
Most all international companies have a similar setup as this. Toyota, Chevy and Ford all have exclusion zones. Areas of the factories grounds that are the territory of the country the cars are being shipped too. That way the cars are never considered as having been made in a country (for tax purposes) that actually built them.
This video turned out way more interesting than I was expecting. Great video
This is a great vid that opens the door to many more questions. Which people control these free port warehouses? Do they get paid? Do they determine what is stored and what isn't?
Cute lady before the Audible add!
A lot like the Hyundai plant where I live. It's basically Korean territory, local and state police aren't allowed to enter the property unless granted permission.
"This falling money footage is so versatile." hahahaha. I love your humor!
3:04 If you look carefully at the license plate, it shows the car is registered in NSW in Australia.
I've lived in cities with freeports in my country. You get to eat tons of odd things, but sometimes i worry that we end up like a dump because of all the used stuff that gets in here.
In my opinion, the most interesting use of one of these is near Zhengzhou Airport in China. You see, Chinese law makes it easy for foreign companies to manufacture in China then export or to import products into China, but fairly difficult to manufacture then sell in China. This was a problem for Apple, since they manufacture primarily in China and China is their largest market. Their initial solution was to assemble iPhones in Shenzhen then ship them across the bay to Hong Kong, then back into China. Then, Apple and Foxconn built a factory by Zhengzhou Airport inside a "bonded zone", basically a free port where they now assemble iPhones for the Chinese market.
So, that’s what was going on with that airport warehouse in “Tenet.” 😃
Thanks for the info. Now I just gotta do an Oceans 11 gig on a a free port warehouse.
This was the best transition to the ad that I've seen on one of these videos.
one toyota corolla is 15.22 feet. 1 mile(5280)/15.22 =346.9. New York is 3459 miles from London. 346.9 x 3459 = 1,199,968.
london is 1.2 million toyota corollas from new york.
All buildings in the Switzerland Google Earth picture belong to the free port. The Geneva free port is pretty huge. And not just one measly little building...
You missed one in Panama, they call it the "Zona Libre" so free zone, and it's located by Colon, next to one of the entrances to the Panama canal
Have you realized that all the info channels are sponsored by: Audible and Skillshare?
1:58 I just like your tone of voice as you explain this. And the rest of your video, too.
Planet Money also talked about art in freeports -
www.npr.org/sections/money/2018/02/09/584555705/episode-823-planet-monet
Similarly, Florida is a popular place for billionaires to own homes because you don't have to pay state income tax there. Sadly, I didn't have an income until after I moved from my parents home in Miami out of state.
Best transition to an audible ad i’ve ever heard
I really want to know where that Freeport in Singapore is.
Found it. Located at: 32 Changi North Crescent Singapore 499643
Even if someone burn the whole warehouse down, those billionaires can use another art piece like a canvas with just white paint for money laundering.
I’ll tell you what’s so special about freeports. Somewhere within, there’s a pentagon structure with what appear to be a device consisting of two chambers separated by a glass window. That device is a turnstile and will invert your entropy allowing you to move backwards through the flow of time.
I'm claiming one of these freeports as my own country and making the import tax 100%, compounding every millisecond.
I watched this video over two days. You should do a video on mindset of why we watch your videos! Lol
Love the music.
You are so good at transitions to the ad
So if you commit a crime in a Freeport you can't go to jail?
I'd imagine it's the law of the nation you're in.
You should do a whole episode on CERN, there's a lot of stuff going on in terms on jurisdiction. It's almost like a mini-country in itself, with its own fire brigade, hotel, border control, etc
It should be added that the Swiss dude sold the painting to some prince and it now resides in the Louvre at Abu Dhabi.
0:23 3:12 I always love your snarky remarks
Holy crap. I'm pretty sure the movie "Tenet" was at least partially inspired by this TH-cam Video...
1:43: Switcherland? Is that where switched witches switch swatch switches?
so that's why the freeport in Tenet has so many art in it
Fun fact: the phone I'm using right now to type this comment was smuggled from a free port in my country. It was hella cheap.
I honestly love your stupid little jokes, they are hilarious! LOL
0:23 this is why I love this channel
Ayy i learned about this in class. Those zones are also called FTZ ( Free Trade Zones).
I just wanna say you do a rly good job with working the advertisements into the video. Angry but appreciative
“Dark, bleak, warehouses” that’s definitely an IKEA in that shot.
1:45 why did no one notice the steins gate reference?
I appreciate your one joke you have every video. Personal favorite is the "more than there are suns in our solar system". Keep it up
Cool all of these videos are posted when school is about to start ;-;
Connor Neely actually when school is just finished
Were i am school got closer for melted snow
I have off school all week:D
I have school off all week and it was posted around 19:00 for me!
SuperSeb413 same
I like your way of presenting sponsors advertisement more than the video itself :P though videos are also amazing :)
The recent planet money episode did this in greater depth a really good listen.
At 0:41 is the French Flag
It's Dutch. It's the Dutch embassy in Berlin.
4:09 a lot of the world's most famous pieces of art are stored in an Ikea
Who pays the unlimited insurance policy? Considering it’s a “Freeport”... doesn’t add up.
Half as interesting? More like double as interesting! HAHA..ha......ha........
._.
Shame
Yeah, the Half as Interesting topics are way more interesting than all that airline crap.
oh noooooooo how could you! ;)
amazing video and editing as always!
Anybody else get RLL vibes from 3:04?
I didn't notice until the end of the video that you were using Google Maps as your location shot for Geneva Freeport. Clever
"Please don't murder me" 😂
You know what I want to see a movie about it. Like a heist movie. a gang of art thieves planning a theft of a millennia - stealing the paintings from some freeport.
New videos from Kurzgesagt _and_ Half as interesting on the same day!? Boy oh boy are we blessed😁
The question we've all been asking: *ware* are all of those *houses* !?
