I giggled when an English person asked "what's the Bubonic plague?"
Especially since some of the biggest historical lessons everyone learned is the two major outbreaks in England past, with one literally changing the way England social system ran. Just thought that was funny.
I laughed too, I was thinking Monty Python's "Bring out your dead" scene.
He's too young to know. They don't teach that sort of thing these days.
He definitely surprised me with the question of "what's the Bubonic Plague?". So for him & any who also didn't know here ya go, per Wiki: The Black Death (also known as the Pestilence, the Great Mortality or the Plague) was a bubonic plague pandemic occurring in Western Eurasia and North Africa from 1346 to 1353. It is the most fatal pandemic recorded in human history, causing the deaths of 75-200 million people, peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351.
@@jstringfellow1961what? Why not? It was taught to me.
Maybe he recognizes it as the Black Plague or some other name? We were taught (where I live in Texas) extensively about the Bubonic Plague, and a lot lot lot of European (especially English) history growing up. We had World History over some years, American History over some years, and Texas History for one year.
Anyone born before 1776 when USA declared independence, were technically considered British subjects. Anyone born after were considered American citizens.
What about the Californios.
100%
Americans aren't subjugated
My family came to the continent in the 1770’s to what was later known as the territory of the Louisiana purchase. We were not British subjects nor American citizens. So it depends on what area of the United States you were living.
What can we take away from this? No blanket statement can apply to anything in the USA.
@@butterbeanqueen8148 you are 100% correct. I should have specified that I meant citizens of the original 13 colonies were British subjects technically. I only recently learned how far west and north Spain “owned” in the late 1700s. I was stunned. Had no idea and I have a minor in Latin American studies. Lol.
He's never heard of "Gone With the Wind".
Bless his heart.😔
I like how when he referenced the Super Bowl and then the NFL, he had clips of college football lol.
That was the 2000 Oregon Ducks :)
5:01 never depressing!!! Santa Clause, Indiana is amazing and fun all year round! Holiday World is an amazing family oriented theme park, and Lake Rudolph is great for camping all year long.
#73 As many have stated, RVs aren’t the same thing as mobile homes. Mobile homes aren’t actually mobile once you place them. They are what are found in trailer parks.
#75 we do spend a lot on health care, and people complain and put it down yet so many come here specifically for our health care. Also I’m sure our life expectancy has a lot do do with our overeating as well as stress inducing lifestyle, and not the health care system. If the dude on Twitter isn’t seeing the doctor that’s on him. Even without insurance, you can still get seen. There are also free clinics, govt insurance (Medicaid) or go be studied at a medical school.
#80 yes our debt is out of control. The govt could slow it down and even reverse it if they would stop frivolous spending. But tell that to people in Washington who have ulterior motives for keeping it high. We send billions to other countries yet our own people are suffering. We spend billions on research that is completely ridiculous like “study for what happens when you poke a bear”. Seriously it is that stupid. And there are hundreds of these studies every year. Cut salaries for all high ranking govt employees like in congress, and the pres. Most if not all those people are already wealthy they don’t need that much money to work a few weeks a year. Cutting military spending. Wages no, research, no. equipment yes. We already have way more than we need to defend. Update every 5 yrs or so. Other stuff will suffice. The list goes on, on what they could do to reduce. But they won’t. They love spending money we don’t have.
#81 that’s correct. And nowadays most people don’t even stay 4 yrs. I think 2 is more accurate. No one is loyal to their job anymore even if the job is great. They skip from job to job, then wonder why they aren’t making $40/hr. Well, you could be if your resume didn’t show 10 jobs in the last 2 yrs.
#82 bachelor’s degrees don’t mean squat. It basically just says you graduated college. If you want a good paying job, you generally need a specialist degree like a doctorate or masters. Everyone who graduated college typically has an associates (2yr) or a bachelor’s (4yr).
#92 there are so many weird laws across the US per state. You could do multiple videos on them. I have a book of weird laws, some of them are really ridiculous. Like can’t carry a duck while getting ice cream, and can’t wear black shoes on a Friday and stuff like that.
Disagree you don't need to go to college to get a good job. My niece went two years and has a fantastic job. Going to a trade school can get you a great paying job.
As a Southerner, a tear came to my eye when you said you never heard of Gone With the Wind. "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.", is my go to line in my Southern accent all the time 😂😂😂
Edit to say I used to dress like Miss Scarlett for Halloween quiet often
As a little girl, very young, I told my father that I wish I had been born back when everyone still dressed like that. He said honey our ancestors never dressed like that. We were never rich. We worked the land. 😂
Definitely an American classic movie but at 48, I still haven't watched it all the way through. I've tried several times; it's one of my Mom's favorites, I just can't do it.
I've never seen it, and I'm from California.
Ist movie with a curse word
Most people haven't tbh, even in America. It's just a statistic
This guy needs to be fact checked.
Yeah I live in California and the bear fact is so false. Once a week at the very least, the news reports a bear breaking into people's homes or backyards, and they roam the streets frequently in some parts too
I'd say close to 50% is questionable‼️ if not more🤔
Lol that's bc 50% were basically jokes 😂 except for the ones comparing Hugh Jackman. We def use an Australian as a unit of measurement here 🤣🤣
@@babyvanderwoodsenthose are black bears not grizzlies, we killed all the grizzlies
@@babyvanderwoodsen where?! Where in California are bears breaking into everyone's houses once a week?
Actually hemp was used as a fiber before cotton that’s what Washington grew exclusively for clothing manufacturing. Cotton was not very common until maybe 1800s. Hemp was also used as a strong rope. The problem was hemp fiber tends to be quite itchy and isn’t as flexible but it was what was available. Cotton was expensive but dramatically lost most of its price once the cotton gin became easily available.
And is now legally grown in a number of places
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved this video....
Actually hemp was smoked in Plimouth Massachusetts. Go there they’ll tell you about the Dutch visitors that loved smoking it
Don't forget that hemp rope was incredibly crucial in ship building. The reason hemp was such a huge crop in the U.S. before the U.S. even existed is because Great Britain needed a huge supply of it for their navy and merchant ships.
Hemp paper was more popular than tree paper until William Randolph Hearst helped lobby to make it controlled/illegal. He made a fortune off regular paper after hemp was gone…..
The Rotunda at Mammoth Caves, Kentucky, is big enough to have a concert in. It's incredible to see.
As a Montanan; I must correct a mistake about the cattle. The video referenced that we like our bovine breast milk. The cattle here are primarily Black Angus or Herford beef cattle.
So actually.... we love our steaks.❤
Every time a state is added to the U.S., another star is added to the flag. Right now, there are 50 stars in the flag for 50 states. But if Puerto Rica or D.C. became a state, the flag would change, adding another star. During World War II, all the stars on the American flag were in straight rows and columns, because there were only 48 states at the time. Alaska and Hawaii became states after WWII.
In 1960 I believe!
@@garycamara99551959 actually, I like to say I'm the same age as Alaska and Hawaii.
When the country's capital, the city of Washington, D.C. was established, it was never to be a state but an independent space...neither north nor south affiliated. An American history book, (non-PC) will explain this.
Washington D.C. was never intended to become a state. That was intentional.
D.C. will never be a state.
The joke about Atlanta used to be called Terminus- and their barbecue is to die for... That's a reference to the Walking Dead tv series where the characters encounter and battle with a survivor settlement called Terminus, where they lure other survivors in with promises of freedom and safety, and then cannibalize them.
#40 He was the first president to be born AFTER the USA gained independence. So all the other presidents before where born in a British colony since we were not yet a separate country.
President VanBuren born Dec 1782 was the first since the states formally declared independence on 4th of July 1776. The last born before independence was President Harrison Feb 1773.
Mobile homes aren't really what they sound like...pretty much just metal prefab homes made in factories and shipped to buyers. Once put in place, they are rarely moved.
They are mostly wood if they are manufactured homes.
Not necessarily just made of metal. We had one that asside from the frame (chassis) it was made completely out of wood.
They have vehicle titles like a car. You can move a mobile home from trailer park to trailer park if you can afford it.
My sister lived in a mobile home with her husband and kids while he was stationed in the army in North Carolina in the 70s. It was perfectly nice. My uncle also lived in a mobile home park. The double wide ones can be very nice and spacious
Mobile homes are quite nice now. You can't even tell that they are mobile homes. Mobile homes have axles and wheels. Generally the wheels come off and they are placed on a cemetery pad or pylons and are generally not moved again, although they can be. They will have metal frames under them that are permanent but everything else like a normal stick-built house. A manufactured home is like a mobile home but the metal frame, axles and wheels are removed and they can be put on a basement or concrete pad permanently. They are considered houses instead of like a vehicle as far as taxes go.
Not sure if his “facts”, or the fact that this poor boy believed them, made me laugh harder than I have laughed in a while.
I am just curios what ‘facts’ that are in dispute?
hemp rope is so good us navy still uses hemp rope
#16. We have to have private vehicles. There is no real way to have public transportation to get us back and forth in a timely manner. I live in a small town. We have to go 17 miles 1 way to groceries shop. 13 miles to the doctor, 43 miles to get to where there are larger corporate stores like sams, home depot...costco. imagine trying to get a weeks worth of groceries home on a public bus. And shopping daily this far..you wouldnt have time to cook and eat the food you'd be too busy on the bus...
I'm the same way, I think Europeans would flip if they experienced this. 30 minutes to groceries, 45 for big names stores. I feel lucky I have a gas station in my town, because we don't even have signals lol
@@katelynwright8437 (it goes on a bit but maybe what we tried might help others thank you)
Same here no signals. We have a cop car...but our police only work 20 hours a month. We have a gas station if you have a coop card, we have a bank and a savings and loan place. Not cafes or restaurants. We have a nursing home. A elementary, and combined jr and sr high school. We do have a very small grocery store but the prices are so high i can feed my family of 4 for a week on what about a days worth would got there...maybe 2 if i buy really well. Imagine shopping at a quick trip or 7/11 but with sales and a meat counter. They don't sell alcohol (which is fine for me), cigarettes, take coupons, accept food stamps and your choices are limited to name brand and an obscure off brand. So its not convenient, cost-effective and sustainable for any one but a single or 2 ppl house. Even then if their budget is limited not even then.
I have had conversations with ppl who have never been out of their 250k+ city and they have no concept of having as many ppl or less in a whole town as lives in their apartment complex. Every suggestion they make about alternatives hinges on having stores close or doing everything by delivery. "Just start a bus route out there." "Car pool" which is fine if 1 person from each family goes. And its just the two because if you are shopping for as little as a week for 2 families of 4 or more that car(26/30 mpg) gets filled fast, then you have to more up to a bigger vehicle (17/20 mpg), worse gas mileage and you are right back at might as well just drive your own car and get things done faster and not wait on anyone else or take a child to help. Ya we, my extended family, have had serious week long chat messages about how to do it. With 3 seperate houses here and 2 seperate in another area of the state, we really tried to come up with answers. Especially as prices go up so very high and we are trying to work together as a team. Right down to my oldest who l8ves 2 hours away will buy my cigarettes down at the reservation, where they are a third of the price($25 a carton instead of the $50 for nasty ones and $80 for the others). He will make quarterly trips up here. We take him around to all the big stores to shop for bulk items and i will have been getting him stuff as it has came on sale here and we swap. He gets to visit and we all save money. He is a spreadsheet kinda person and even adding in the gas back and forth it still saves him about 100 every quarter and he gets to spend 2 days with us and his brothers family.
When my son got married we still had 5 others at home so we have a 15 passenger van. Then the daughter in law, me and a friend could go into big towns and shop because we had the room and splitting the gas came to a better price for both of them than going separately.
Sorry about the ramble its just most ppl have just no clue about living here in the 'way out there'. Maybe some of what we have tried will gives someone else food for thought.
That's why I get groceries every 4-6 weeks. A milk run for the kids' breakfast is not done. Pizza delivery is unheard of. Michelle's food deserts is sooo laughable.
as this poster stated, public transportation is really only for large cities. this is the only areas where there are people that are going in similar direction periodically. in smaller towns and cities, things are too spread out to make this finically feasible for that town or city. they would be wasting money on mostly empty transportation systems as most people would need a vehicle anyway to travel to places they need to go. I get that Europeans don't understand this, but it's because most European town and cities are very compact and things can easily be walked to in a small area and to travel across town can be done by large groups through public transportation. But imagine that the 4 places you needed to go to were 10 to 20 miles apart from each other and your town is so spread out that only 3 people would need to go in any one direction at a time. would you spend millions a year on public transportation and not make any money back to support it's operation? Doubtful.
@@mbourque ya... my pulmonologist and wound specialist are in the same town. 2 miles apart. Im also in a chair so that adds a whole new dimension to the issues...

Although they died on the same day, On July 4, 1826, at the age of 90, Adams lay on his deathbed while the country celebrated Independence Day. His last words were, "Thomas Jefferson still survives." He was mistaken: Jefferson had died five hours earlier at Monticello at the age of 83.
I’m a historian I am very impressed!!!!🎉❤
My 76 yr old mother needed hip surgery and back surgery {not from any accidents}. Her hip took 2 months to get in and her back took less than 3 weeks. She is recovered from both and now walks without a walker. When we need a referral to a specialist it only started this year to take a couple of months when before the bug it would only take a few weeks. I have heard that in Canada and the UK it could take over a year to get anything done. I would rather have our system than any others.
Yes! A friend in Canada suffered sepsis and is now recovering because the docs in Canada refused to remove a KIDNEY STONE LAST YEAR!! The sepsis caused a heart attack!! 😡😡
And how can that NOT be malpractice or immoral? Any doctor/medical organization that lets their patients suffer or almost die is immoral. @@missflowerpower8724
Not to mention the govt could at any time decide to not treat you. Like the suicide clinics going on in Canada. People actually encouraged to go there b/c of mental health, their in the end stages of disease or any other reason. That’s mental. It’s only a matter of time before they decide you are too expensive to treat and not worth their effort.
Totally agree with you. I don't know what you mean by "How can that not be..." If I made a comment that it isn't immoral I can't see my comment to reread it. Sorry if I misspoke.
@@csailer2353 Agree. Only the Devil would want someone to off themselves. Only the Devil would convince someone to think that it was a good idea to help off someone.
RVs and mobile homes are not necessarily the same thing.
Oregon back in the 1960's and I believe in the 1970's had a sign on the California border which said "Welcome to Oregon, please visit, but don't stay". Even when I was working at Intel in the 1980's, a fellow employee would never admit that he was from California, he was afraid of being harassed.
It's a shame it didn't work and Oregon and Washington both got turned into California's retarded cousins
I was actually refused service in a Dennys in Oregon once, my car had California plates.
Oregonites can be assholes at times.
Sorry for the bad behavior!@@garycamara9955
My dad was from there. And we moved up there for a short time and 1968. It was not a good thing. Oregonians hate Californians. They said that they would come up there and develop the land and raise everyone's taxes. Amansa my brother and said he look just like a boy he used to know. Turned out it was a friend of my grandfathers. When we went to go meet up with the man and he saw our California license plates he refused to wait on us in his store and he and his employees went to the back room and would not come out. After telling my brother that he could not wait to see my dad! We only stayed eight months and then move back. My dad had Inherited property we were supposed to build a house on. But he held onto the land for another 30 years and then just sold it!
Some of the state laws that are still in effect because of being overlooked are really crazy!
yes! some even cover when you can and can not set a pie on the window sill to cool!

#15... there is also a town called North Pole in Alaska. they get hundred of thousands of letters each Christmas season and you can even have them write a letter to your child from Santa and they will stamp it "From the North Pole" on the envelope.. I believe they have a website.
Shoot. That 40 percent of women gave birth had me going.
Yep, with the pause, I died. Now, I'm just dieing. Sooooo funny. 🤣
I've rewritten this 5 or 6 times now trying to not sound like I'm being condescending and I've failed every time so I'm going to say this is not meant to be sarcastic or demeaning in any way, I'm trying to answer him asking about it: The bubonic plague was also referred to as The Black Death and is the disease that wiped out ~1/3 of Europe in the 1300s. We still have isolated cases from time to time.
I am flabbergasted he doesn't know what that is... I thought that was common knowledge you learn in History, regardless of what country you're from.
I do want to add that it is now very treatable with antibiotics. That's why people don't usually die from it anymore. We have certain animal populations that carry it. Like some prairie dog towns and some squirrel populations.
Yeah those isolated cases are from illegals jumping out borders
Well, no. Gun laws are actually a bit tricky in the United States. Typically, long rifles can be owned at 18 but handguns require you to be 21.
additionally, each State has laws specific to that state that places restriction on gun ownership. some States are more permissive and some are more restrictive, but ALL of them have to abide by the National laws and our Constitution and Supreme Court rulings on gun ownership.
In Fl a baby can own a gun.. this isn't as weird as it sounds..a grandpa can leave their gun to a newborn grandchild.. there are rules on the age until you don't need adult supervision.. but you can own one at any age.. can't buy ammo until 21 but can absolutely own and use gun.. can't carry until 21 unless police
@@virginiarobbins7539 Not quite. You can possess (hold) a gun at any age in Florida (supervision needed under 16) but you must be 18 to own a gun.
Cliff Clavin facts...😂
Bubonic Plague is what wiped out most of London back in the day my friend... Black Death.
We Lurv our cars because the US is SOOOOO big! Most of us travel/vacation/holiday within the USA, so we skip over to the next state or the next after that. It's a lot easier to road trip vacation than it is to do any other kind of travel. We depend on our cars (outside of big cities) just to get to work, or the grocery store.... MANY MILES AWAY.
We're the 3rd largest by land, after Russia and Canada, China is after us, then Brazil and Australia.
#24, yes, I agree whole heartedly!! I want Jennifer Lawrence to be my ride or die friend. I feel I could absolutely trust her if I had to hide a body, so long as she didn't trip over it a hundred times and wake up the neighbors. JK, she's AMAZING!
Lake Superior is SOO big, that during the Revolutionary war, they had massive ship wars, y'know, cannons and fleets of ships and the like. The lake is sooo damn cold that there are ships sunken and frozen in time, including this one particular body that has been in stasus floating in the ship since 1927, "Old Whitey" is his name. You can stand on the shore anywhere on Lake Superior and NEVER see the other side of the lake. It even has waves 20 to 30 ft tall just like an ocean.
The Kentucky cave system hasn't been totally explored either, so the 200 miles they are speaking of is just what we know of so far. We also have massive cave systems throughout the Southwest that are still being discovered.
Samuel L Jackson was a cheer leader in college. He did it to meet girls.
Fun Fact: Cheerleaders were almost all male until World War II. The first women on a cheerleaders squad was in Minnesota in 1923 and it was highly controversial as cheerleading was seen as masculine.
Also, Samuel L. Jackson attended and was a cheerleader at all-male Morehouse College.
I'll give you # 102; at half time during the Super Bowl, almost all of the Water Departments around the country, have their low water alarms go off because everyone has run to the bathroom and are flushing the toilets, and I quess a few people may even wash their hands. The demand for water is unbelievable!!
21:41
they are being deceptive with the video here. "Mobile Homes" are actually manufactured homes that are on a 'trailer' type structure so that they can be transported to a site and tied into the utilities there. at that point the wheels are removed and it's tied down and usually sitting on top of some sort of support system (like stacks of LARGE bricks (usually each brick is 1'x1'x2'). they are rarely moved again. These 'homes' are usually around 10' wide and 9' tall and 30' to 80' long. (Think ocean going shipping container, but larger)
the photo they showed are actually RVs. which are vehicles that have home 'amenities' built into them. They are completely mobile and move frequently.
The great lakes hols 21 percent of the Earth's freshwater.
Modern military vests have multiple strips of velcro, and various holsters and pouches also have velcro, so the soldier can arrange their gear on their vest in different configurations depending on their mission and preferences.
Those areas that aren’t inhabited, you don’t want to live there.
In 1920's in my home town they ran moonshine. We had a local moonshiner then there was Popcorn Sutton in the mountains of Cherokee, NC. Two of my Uncles ran shine until my grandpa found out. 😅
Haywood County here!
Mobile home is different than RV. It’s kinda like a home in 2 or 3 pieces. Mine was brought to my property in 2 pieces but they are 28ft. X 76ft. It’s 5 bedroom 2 bath with a front room, family room, an eat in kitchen and a dining room. I have a walk in closet and I have a laundry room that holds m washer, dryer and a huge freezer. I have it on 42acres. My neighbor is over a half mile away. I live on a 5 mile road with 5 houses. I bought it back in 2001 and paid $115,000. My taxes on it are only $585..
McDonald's had been warned multiple times that their coffee was too hot (180-190°F or 82-88°C) but didn't listen because it saved money & time to not have to replace it when it got too cool.
The woman was in the passenger seat at the drive thru with coffee in her lap spilled, resulting in 3rd degree burns, 8 days in hospital, & skin grafts. When McDonald's refused to cover her medical bills, she sued and won; mainly due to McDonald's putting profits over customer safety, not because an old lady wanted to make a buck. However, McDonald's lawyer had done such a good smear campaign against her that it persists today that if you sue, you're only interested in money.
In fact, the main reason is astronomical medical bills. If we had universal health care or even reasonable costs of health care, there would be less suing... or even if businesses offered to help pay for at least part of the bills total.
The "United States" was actually British soil until 1776
Only the 13 colonies. Vast parts of the U.S. were considered Spanish or French territory…even Russian.
1776 was the year America gained its independence from Britain. Anyone born on American soil would be a citizen. Anyone born before that would be a British citizen as America was a British colony in the past. It’s a thing that happened.
At the time American soil was only east of the Mississippi river.
Craighead Caverns is an extensive cave system located in between Sweetwater and Madisonville, Tennessee. It is best known for containing the United States' largest and the world's second largest non-subglacial underground lake, The Lost Sea. Wikipedia
Address: 140 Lost Sea Rd, Sweetwater, TN 37874 I think this cavern and lake are amazing
I've been there, but I'm close by in Knoxville.
The USA, Canada and China are very similar in geographic size. The precise size of the USA and China differs depending on the source's methodology. Canada is 2nd (after Russia, of course) if water is included; land only and it drops to 4th. Brazil and Australia do indeed occupy #5 & #6.
Another great and very cute video! I laughed a lot, as you did, thru all of this! The guy who made the 101 Fact about America has quite some sense of humor!
RVs and mobile homes are 2 different things hun
I would like to say, that as an American, and I don't mean a young person. I am an old boomer whose next decade change will begin with the number 7. Your channel has taught me so much about both countries. My last name is Wallingford. My pedigree in America began in the 1600s. I love your enthusiasm. Finally, being from Kentucky, seriously shed tears. Most of Mammoth cave is unexplored. In other words that nearly 300 mile trek of spelunking is rumored to possibly be connected to Carlsbad Cavern. To be sure, I certainly wouldn't be the one to pop my head out of Carlsbad to say "yep, they surely do!" I have friends from my hometown of Maysville, Kentucky who moved to to your beautiful country around six years ago. Her father owns a software company that seems to prosper. Her father thought that since things were prospering well, it was time to come home. That was three years ago. She told her father that there was plenty of work for her there. He told me that his daughter told him that the only time that she would agree to come back was to only visit. She and her family LOVES Britain. She finds it very beautiful. She also LOVES Britain's health care system. One major health event in America, could cost the heritage of a wealthy family EVERYTHING!
Thats why we have insurance, you jave to buy it though.
Hello from a former Bowling Green native. I used to spend two or three days a week at Mammoth Cave hiking the trails in the years before moving away. It's one of the most beautiful places I've seen especially during the spring when the Redbud trees are blooming.
My family often visits Holiday World, the theme park in Santa Claus, Indiana. The town is actually somewhat Christmas-themed year-round.
9:59 yep! Look up Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. There are some BEAUTIFUL caves and amazing hikes and even canoeing trips in those caves. We went there on field trips all the time in elementary school. It was so much fun.
We had a black widow spider right outside our dining room window in a shrub. Very beautiful spider, leave them alone and they are fine to walk right on by. Plus my older sister and I were bitten by a brown recluse spider. Antibiotics keep the tissues from rotting of to much. It’s normal in the south (Texas). You probably have them in your home and never see them. 😊
I like how he made #42 "the meaning of life" and then had GHW Bush hurling into the Japanese Prime Minister's lap. Good stuff !
I have watched your videos for awhile now. great job, keep it up bro. Also I might add, I live in Joplin and survived the EF5 Tornado. It was crazy bro
Gone with the Wind is a very antique movie about the Civil War/ War between the States.
I'm American and haven't ever see a whole football game. Haven't missed it.
Neat
I love football
I have only seen one football game and it was a Super Bowl game and I had no clue what was going on😅😅
Then you have missed it.
@@VW20-bq9in True
Another interesting NFL fact about injuries: when a player is injured, the clock stops so the trainers can come out to check on them. Teams used to use that to gain an advantage (by falling down and pretending to be injured) when the game was moving too fast (typically near the end of the game), so the NFL actually made a rule that injury timeouts actually burned 10 seconds off the clock, unless the injured team took a time out.
That is worldwide Football (soccer). Those guys roll around like screaming children with a slight knock
#64 the USA also tested nuclear weapons on our own soil, in the deserts areas in the West near the Rocky Mts. The nearby areas were "evacuated", but those close enough (bc they were new and no one really knew how dangerous or lethal) had "bomb parties" where they would sit outside and watch the explosion and mushroom clouds
Took a walking tour in Vegas on Fremont Street and heard about how people used to sit on the roof of a certain cafe to watch the atomic tests in the desert. The guys who worked at the bomb facility used to get drunk at the cafe/bar and talk too much so people found out when the “secret” bomb tests were and had little rooftop viewing parties for them. What a time to be alive!
In kansas, it's perfectly fine to have a firearm in a boat while fishing, and fine to shoot snakes with it. However, it is totally illegal to shoot rabbits from said boat.
President Trump donated his presidential salary

Maybe look into that.....

He also more the doubled the national debt
The narrator is British so I don't think his facts are real facts.
It is rather bizarre how many videos about the US are made by people outside of the US. Weird.
99% of his facts are wrong.
But it is amusing! 😂😂😂😂😂
Most are wrong😅
This channel actually had a pair of American narrators previously, but they were getting too big and too associated with the channel. They were a lot better and more entertaining.
I had to laugh at the football part. He is talking about the NFL but the team they are showing is the Oregon Ducks with Joey Harrington, they are a college team. Love it :)
In the beginning of America, it was law, that if you owned land you had to grow hemp. Thomas Jefferson said one of his favorite things Mr. sit on his porch, smoke hemp and look over his hemp crop.
Army uses it on pockets on pants, coats, and packs
I had a male friend who was a cheerleader, said he did it because that's where the girls were. He was strong so he had the pleasure of holding them. His words not mine. Oh he took the cooking class in high school to be around the girls as well.
Many years ago, I was hired as a driver to take entertainment, management, opening act, and crew of the band Alabama around when they performed at the Augusta Civic Center in Augusta, Maine. They were from a "dry" state which means alcoholic beverages were BANNED where they came from. I drove a few roadies to a discount beverage store that sold liquor, beer, and wine, and they were so excited to see that the State of Maine trusts you to look out for yourself and buy as much alcohol as you want if you meet the age limit, and there was a discount store to do it at. Just south of Maine, in New Hampshire, you can only purchase liquor at a NH liquor store (bar and wine can be purchased at convenience and grocery stores, and in Massachusetts, you can only buy it at a "packy" or package store. Here in Maine, there's a liquor aisle at every liquor licensed grocery or convenience store.
Mobile homes and motor homes are two different things people live in … mobile homes are stationary with a foundation and motor homes have wheels … big difference ! 😂😂❤
Regarding Ford the narrator mentioned that he was the only person to be Vice President and President without being elected for either office but he didn’t mention that he was the only King to hold either office. King was Gerald’s birth name but his name was changed to Ford after he was adopted.
How did I not know that birth name backstory? I was a young adult when Ford was President and I don't recall knowing he was adopted let alone knowing his birth name. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about many of our Presidents, ie the founding fathers, Lincoln, the Roosevelt's and a few more. But even more so the 13 Presidents during my lifetime: Eisenhower to Biden.
I know I'm getting old so I Iooked it up to help refresh my memory, only to discover he was adopted by his stepfather, not at birth as I assumed when I read your comment. However, I still didn't recall his childhood back story.
Thank you for that tidbit of presidential "trivia". It may come in handy someday. It would have been interesting to have a President King or President Gerald King Ford. It has a nice ring to it.... even if he wasn't the best President and he pardoned
President Nixon. Some things you just can't forget. But then ask me in a year or two and I may not remember that debacle either. lol.
That’s interesting. I’ve seen videos on president facts and I don’t think I’ve ever heard that one before. But you can bet I won’t forget it now!
Actually president Trump donated all of his salary while president to various government agencies or charities
LOL
Facts
Nope, he didn't
@andreabrannon6931 yes, he absolutely did!
You probably won't even see this because it's an older post and also this could have been said already but... The reason the military has silent velcro is because their patches are velcro. Name and rank and also the flag patch are velcro, the reason was explained to me that if they are trapped behind enemy lines they can remove and dispose of the patches so if captured that information is not automatically given up.
i live on the shores of Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and its literally bigger than some seas. Largest freshwater lake in the world! miles and miles of beautiful beaches, little islands and stunning views. I highly recommend looking up some footage, its so stunning. we get more and more people moving here every year because we have it all when it comes to outdoor activities. we have people who surf in the middle of winter because we get swells that can can be 20+ft high.
What's the Bubonic Plague? I'm happy that the American education system isn't the only one that is lacking, lol. And never heard of Gone with the Wind? What?
This guy has a terrible memory when it comes to history.
That’s really sad
The bubonic plague is also known as the Black Death. It is a bacterial infection spread mostly by fleas and has killed more people than any other disease. One outbreak killed 25% of the world’s population once. It’s probably what triggered the dark ages. It still exists, but antibiotics easily treat it.
Gone with the Wind is a classic movie that takes place during the civil war. It is about a woman experiencing the fall of southern culture before and after the war, love, going against societal convention, human consequences, etc. It’s a beautiful movie if you like old movies. It’s one of the highest grossing movies of all time, got a million Oscars and academy awards.
United States is the 3rd biggest country in the world. Russia is first Canada is 2nd. China is 4th. When you combine the land masses of the Continental 48 states and combine it with Alaska it is bigger than China therefore making it the third largest country by land area.
Fun fact I was at the Joplin tornado and I live a hour from Joplin. But more importantly check out the movie twister.
Have you seen the special effects of 1960's movies. They couldn't fake the moon if their lives depended on it. And yes I watched the landing on my 12" black and white TV
Fun video…. That 40% of women giving birth had me going also. You paused that at the wrong time- or right time how ever you want to look at it !!! Great time watching your videos, keep ‘em coming
I know...I was laughing so hard.🤣
The army invented Velcro! That’s why they own the patent!
Michael Nesmith, of The Monkees, mother invented liquid paper.
Hemp has many uses, from rope to paper. Hemp grows a lot faster than trees, and should be what most paper products are made from. It should be a law that one cent cannot be worth less than it costs to mint it. That would make the dollar worth 80% more.
I live in tornado alley. Pretty much every single house in my town has an underground storm shelter/bunker because the threat of tornadoes is so high during certain times of the year. My friends in Europe thought that was crazy.
In the US, we have a free health care system for poor people called Medicaid. We also have a system where people can purchase health insurance and have the taxpayers subsidize the premiums. Finally, we have a law that no public hospital can refuse treatment based on a person's inability to pay. If you're walking around without health coverage, that's likely a problem of you're own doing.
Medicare is not a free service, they take Medicaid taxes out of your weekly paycheck and my mom pays $150.00 a month for her Medicaid. service.
@@marydavis5234 Medicare and Medicaid are two different things. Medicare is for retired people primarily and Medicaid is for the poor.
@@TXKafir my mom has to pay for her Medicaid monthly premium like I typed before it is not a free service for everyone.
@@marydavis5234 I'm still not convinced you know what you're talking about. You said they take Medicaid taxes out of your paycheck. Those are Medicare taxes. Medicaid is funded by the federal government and the states. How old is your mom? Why is she on Medicaid?
Medicaid isn't free. Hospitals can refuse treatment, ERs cannot.
Bruh.... you dont know what the Bubonic plague is? 😂
5:50 China and Canada are slightly larger by land area. 10:22 The city of Atlanta was called Terminus as it was the end of a trade route, with the city at the time being on the edge of the difference between the civilized nation and the original wild west. Beyond that it was a wild unexplored frontier.
Gone With the Wind came out in 1939 and won pretty much all the Academy Awards that year. It is about the U.S Civil War
You need to see Gone With The Wind! It's an iconic movie about the American Civil War. It stars Clark Gable and Vivienne Leigh.
The best part of that movie was the restroom break they give in the middle of it!
I just downloaded it to watch tonight. I haven’t seen it since I was a teenager in the 80’s.
Oh yeah. That's the movie about all those happy slaves running' around. All that forced servitude and degradation! Bring the family!
@@pierrebezukov5770 slavery was actually part of the civil war, hence the presence of slaves in a movie about the civil war.
Those who don’t know history, are doomed to repeat it.
I didn't say it was accurate, I said it was iconic. It's one of those movies everyone should see once.
I'm pretty sure these guys facts are completely wrong and he's just trolling the s*** out of people
Not sure if all are legit, but a good number of them I know are correct and most seem at least marginally reasonable.
@@AdamNisbett Yea,like the revolutionary war of 1824
@@donaldstewart8342 yeah, that reference is obviously incorrect. I suspect he was supposed to be referring to the story that it cracked in 1824 during a visit of Revolutionary War hero, the Marquis de Lafayette and got mixed up when reading or drafting the script.
RVs are not all or most mobile homes. Most mobile homes are around 800 ft² (75 m²)
Sorry. We have people who won’t use healthcare. I lived in what was considered the ‘highest ranked socialized healthcare’…..Toronto. 57% of our income to taxes. They couldn’t treat my daughters knee injury because they didn’t have the DIAGNOSTIC machines. At the time the city of Atlanta had more MRI machines than the entire country of Canada. We were told it would get worse but wouldn’t ‘be debilitating’. !?!?!?!? She was a ballet dancer; like for real. Add to that the fact that it’s homogeneous and you need a sponsor to move there as an immigrant. Like I said. Anything to do with stats isn’t a FACT
The us is third biggest by land area not 4th

BEFORE 1985, colleges were paid through tuition or State funds. Once the Federal government started nationalizing student debt and subsidizing colleges, the colleges start raising their tuition costs because they knew that the Federal government would pay out the higher prices, both directly to the college and by allowing larger amounts to be borrowed by the students. Thus, the cost has risen each year and is around 1000% higher than in 1985 now.
In the state of Tennessee, it’s illegal to hunt whales from my car. They said the lawmakers were joking around about fat women when they made this lol considering there’s no ocean around Tennessee.
in 1939 Gone with the Wind was released to the public. the same man who directed that was credited for directing The Wizard of Oz. 1939 was the year of movies. other notable films are Stagecoach, Mr. Smith goes to Washington, The Women and Gunga Din. there are more but this is the comment sections not the first page of a newspaper.
Since many of us consider ourselves an offshoot of England we can blame you for most of this...sorry
😂🤣😂🤣
This video is weird 🤷♀️😂
My mom jumped the gate and kissed the liberty bell when she was on a school trip in the 70s.
HEALTH CARE IN THE U.S has ALWAYS been free to people who cant afford it!
Wait, you seriously don't know about the Bubonic Plague?
Everyone is able to get health insurance, people choose not to. There are a lot of programs as well.
Are you serious w this comment? we don't have healthcare as a right like the rest of the civilized world. People cant afford it. Medicare is also so expensive yet it's for people on disability and seniors who don't work. I'm chronically ill and can't afford to even use Medicare. We are one of the only counties that have a for profit healthcare system. We are the only country in the world where the number one debt is medical debt. That is disgusting and shameful. My dad who was quite successful, even retiring so young...we lived on the water, plenty if boats and he definitely was such a great provider...he became sick and we lost everything. His medicine and treatments were si expensive even w insurance. He ended up passing away and we needed to seek the house. We were bankrupted due to medical expenses. Educate yourself. People like you are the reason we are an embarrassment in the world.
It’s crazy. You can buy a gun but not a beer. That’s our good old USA
This is great.! Especially the Jin lorance bit.😂 I'm Dead.
It takes 13 weeks to be seen in the UK by a Dr. Even if serious. And then you get 10 minutes and can only talk about one thing. I'll take 🇺🇲 health care for 100 Alex. #RN
Nope Death Valley just beat that record last week by going 135. It’s still slowly going up and will probably be shattered again.
Christmas is a celebration that’s been turned around from the original holiday celebrated by Pagans, it’s called Yule
