Awesome. Glad you did a part 3!
Glad you helped us realise it's a compelling series idea. The objective is to get more intricate and obscure as we go because no doubt we'll be able to cut through the layer of distorted trivia before long.
Will vth be doing another reaction?
can't wait to see your reaction
Waiting for the reaction!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I got here through pt.Iv so I agree
The Great Molasses flood is known here both locally and colloquially as "The Boston Molassacre".
Quality.
@@DecadesVideosyou would probably know molasses as treacle. Now can you imagine how thick and horrific that flood was?!
Great video! as a history fan I feel like history TH-camrs are making history interesting in ways that many boring history teachers in high school failed to do.
I had some rather great history teachers that helped seal my fascination with the past.
To quote the classic sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati, “As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.”
One of the funniest shows, and episodes, I've seen.😂😅 thank you for reminding me!
Addition to fact #23: Roman General Publius Claudius Pulcher consulted the sacred chickens before an intended surprise attack on the Carthaginian fleet at Drepanum (modern Trapani in Sicily). The chickens refused to eat and Pulcher became so furious he committed sacrilege by throwing the chickens overbaord to drown saying “Let them drink then.”. He then proceeded to lose the naval battle and when he returned to Rome he was prosecuted and forced to pay a fine for killing the sacred chickens.
I have never known a chicken to not eat seeds thrown to them, especially when a group is competing to grab them all. I’d imagine the outcome of the ritual probably was taken for granted and served as a certain blessing on the course of action you’ve already decided. The general must have been quite surprised to be told no by chickens.
@@oldschoolfrp2326the chickens were probably sea sick
My grandmother always took pencils/crayons, etc. out of my left hand and into my right. I’d always switch back as soon as she turned away. I was maybe 6 or 7 she finally gave up.
Whenever I meet a new person who’s left handed, I say: “oh, you must be the devil’s spawn.” It’s a nice ice breaker.
As a Medieval Historian I wrote a piece called "The Unthinkable Burial of William the Conqueror" = He loved to eat Lampreys, which would give off gas while digesting in his belly. causing one to pass gas. William was known for this rather unaromatic trait.
Left Handedness. I was 7 and 8 years old in first grade in 1963-64. My teacher was one of those that thought left handed people were evil and made me sit on my left hand for the entire year. Writing, eating, drawing, anything we did I had to do it right handed. This succeeded in changing my dominant handedness for writing and such, but I do a lot with my left as well. Changing the handedness results in rewiring the brain to the left side (opposite brain to the side of the body). This also caused me to studder, threw my balance off, and generally cause a lot of problems with reading ability for a year or so.
I have a left handed son (the eldest) and his little brother's daughter (my oldest granddaughter) is also left handed. We threated death to anyone who tried to mess with their handedness because the way it messed me up. So, of 4 kids, I have one lefty and out of 9 grandkids, I have one lefty.
It was awful to try to switch kids handedness, but part of it by the 1960s was that it was just considered more practical for the person to switch while young, under the thinking that since most things are made for the right-handed….better for everyone to be right-handed. It was a bad idea, but many thought it helped back then.
Fun fact: The word “parmentier” refers to a dish prepared with potatoes. One such dish is “hashis Parmenier” (Beef and Potato Casserole or Shepherd’s Pie).
I have never heard of defenestrating but am now delighted beyond my wildest imagination that it exists and I thank you for that sir. Huzzah! 😂
I remember Ethan saying in a vid defenestration was his favorite word.
I didn’t know the oldest film footage was filmed up here in Leeds! Thanks for the interesting vid 👍
#14 I heard as a joke in the 80's that went like this:
President Reagan was contacted by Soviet leader Gorbachev when the AIDS scare was at its peak. An outbreak in the USSR prompted Gorbachev to plead Reagan for an emergency supply of condoms from American manufacturers and the size to be 12 inches long and 3 inches in diameter. Reagan agreed and contacted manufacturers with the measurements specified but with the addition of words printed at the base of the condoms to say on one side "Made in the USA" and the other side to say "Small".
Fun fact: The Potato is also called "Apple of the Earth" in Farsi
"Sib Zamini"
Sib = Apple Zamin = Ground
The bear, Wojtek, along with his humans were captured by the british. There is a statue of him in the park just off Prince's st in Edinbough.
This is a great video! You did a wonderful job!! Thank you for making this 🖤
I’m a complete idiot because when you said William Henry Harrison was the shortest sitting president and then failed to mention his height I was thinking “How the hell do you not mention how tall the shortest president was?!” I think I’m going to quit internetting.
When I lived in China, I had the Grand Union Flag of the United States. I was going to hang it in one of the Universities I worked at . . . my wife convinced me not to do it. What an amazing controversy that could have been. I regret not doing that. I know, someone would have caught some kind of problem, but what an amazing story that would have been.
Addition to #22: the secretary was later ennobled by the emperor as Baron von Hohenfall, which literally translates to Baron of the high fall.
Love it, it's refreshing to see the funny and weird side of history, I just found your channel and I'm glad I did!
Welcome!
# 4 at 3:25 the french "pomme de terre" is better translated as "apple of soil" or "ground apple"
Because when you speak of Earth as the world or the planet, the french word is capitalized as *Terre*
Me and my girlfriend watched, we learned lots! She's a big fan, thank you!
I’m left handed. When I learned how to write the nuns forced me to sit on my left hand. I write with my right to this day; I do everything else with my left.
I fucking love potatoes
Molasses is not a sugar substitute. It's what you get when you refine sugar. It doesn't come out as little white crystals. 😂
Just found your channel love it I am going to watch all your videos and can't wait for more
Top stuff! Cheers!
Fun fact: WH Harrison for said cold that developed into pneumonia by giving a three hour inaugural speech in the rain in winter.
Another fun fact: Harrison's successor has a grandson that was still alive in December 2023.
My husband and I enjoy your videos! We recently watched the 25 absurd random history facts created a year ago featuring Napoleon on the title page. It was interesting! Your history videos are great.
As I said, we enjoy your channel but wanted to make a friendly suggestion. We noticed that when you have media that isn't full screen, you've added animated borders. Like I said, just a friendly suggestion, it just is a little busy. I know plain black borders aren't attractive but perhaps use something a little less busy?
Also the clip of the countryside at the end of your video is just beautiful!
Actually, the fact #17 should say that Wojtek liked to eat cigarettes, because he allegedly usually consumed them this way. Just a detail.
Left in Italian is sinistra, from whence comes sinister.
Found you through Vlogging through History great work on the videos
Cheers!
How about that Robert Hansen! He is the first person to go about that fashionable endeavor of "finding myself" by joining the FBI.
I saw on your channel info 3 mates that love history….(finger guns) you betcha I’m in
This is where the fun begins!
molasses also gets called treacle, it's from sugar and is strong in taste to make parkin or ginger cake lovely....
The simple fact that Ben Franklin was one of the leaders of the American revolution against Britain yet he continued to travel back and forth between America and England during the war and never once did England arrest or detain him despite him being one of the biggest targets just goes to prove there was a lot of shady stuff going on behind the scenes , even back than.
If I'm not mistaken, molasses is called treacle in the UK.
Wonderful video! Always love learning a bit more about history though I did know some of these 😅 that said looking forward to the next video you always do great work!
Well done, part 2 please .
Thank you for this video I really needed something to take my mind off of my life right now
Glad you took time out of your day for us! We appreciate it!
Another good thing to ease the mind with is heroin, in case this guy should stop uploading...
Love these!
Left-handed European here. The superstition against left-handedness as something related to the devil died off some generations ago, but Christianity has much less to do with it than I thought. I was working at a refugee shelter in the 2010s, I would regularly eat together with Pakistani (thus mostly Muslim) asylum seekers and the custom is to eat without cutlery, using a sort of large, flat, unraisened bread as a vessel for collecting (spicylicious) food from the plate with your hands. I noticed that they were grossed out by the way I ate, and there was an Asian colleague of mine who explained me that to them it looked as if I was using my foot to eat, and to them, that being left-handed is considered completely ok and not anymore corrected by binding children's left arm in Europe. Still, after some practice I easily started eating with my right hand when I was with them. Doing simple tasks with your non-fav side of your body is a great exercise for synapses and brain agility, I read long ago.
I have heard that in some countries they eat with one hand and wipe their butt with the other.
I think it's good to be able to use both hands. Many years ago I thought, what happens if I slip and fall and hurt my dominant hand? So started to practice my weak hand, today I'm able to use both hand to most tasks.
@@reineh3477 yep, that's basically how it works, one hand for the "clean" tasks, the other for the "dirty" tasks. It makes sense!
7:10 That's just F'ing hilarious.
The CIA never lacked for creativity.
"The Greeks competed naked; and well oiled. But, THAT'S another Story."
Despite the hilarity of the inference, the oil was used to make it more difficult to hold a grip............
Great made for tv narration!
I knew I had heard that guy before, that's Fizhy, I know him from his Red Dead Redemption videos
Vojtek the bear was also partial to guzzling bottles of beer. There is a beer brewed and named after him in Poland.
he enjoyed a good beer and a ciggy
Brilliant again, thank you.
Using chickens to make decisions? What bird brains!
!. Molasses is not a sugar substitute, it is what is left after the sugar sap from sugar cane is crystalized, and made into sugar. 2. The word Defenestration comes from the German word fenster, window.
Oh my God the condom plot is hilarious they should've done that
I was told the condom story happened in WW2. Any large use of rubber needed Churchill's approval. The Russian allies put a request for many condoms. Churchill approved, with the order that packets were clearly labelled, " Made in Britain. Small size".
#14 I heard as a joke in the 80's that went like this:
President Reagan was contacted by Soviet leader Gorbachev when the AIDS scare was at its peak. An outbreak in the USSR prompted Gorbachev to plead Reagan for an emergency supply of condoms from American manufacturers and the size to be 12 inches long and 3 inches in diameter. Reagan agreed and contacted manufacturers with the measurements specified but with the addition of words printed at the base of the condoms to say on one side "Made in the USA" and the other side to say "Small".
Molasses is called black treacle in the UK,at least according to Google 😊
As an English man, never heard that
10:35 same time as one of world wars pretty sure 2
Hachis Parmentier is the French name for shepherd's pie. Named after Antoine Parmentier.
My Dad was left handed but forced to write right handed in school
I enjoyed this very much.
You would know molasses as trichole or trickle, something like that.
Makes sense
@decades Yes you know what Molasses is, just under the name it goes by in the UK.. Treacle.
Here's a video suggestion: The Assassination Of William McKinley and James Garfield, the 2 Presidental assassinations not a lot of people remember.
I'll look into it sometime.
@@DecadesVideos Alright
These are always interesting.
Great, thanks! 🇬🇧👍
The Sun never sets on the British empire
The word sinister, suggestive of darkness or evil, comes from a Latin word meaning “on the left side.” The association of “left” with “evil” is likely because of the dominance of right-handed people within a population.
Sinistra in Italian means left.
Yessss love these
Of course, you KNOW you must make it an even 100.
Very soon, please...........
That's the plan!
Ben Franklin: Eccentric before Eccentricity was cool...
Fun!
My mum used to be belted with a ruler if she used her left hand. This was in the 60's, hardly ancient Rome...
I’m left handed…. I was forced to use my right hand as a child…. Now I’m decently ambidextrous….
The correlation between ambidexterity and left-handedness is interesting
I'm right handed and ambidextrous. Many years ago I wondered, how will I survive if I slip and fall and injure my dominant hand. So I started to practice my weak hand.
Molasses is unrefined sugar syrup; the first stage product made by boiling the cane juice pressed at the mills which would be further refined into sugarloafs of varying degrees of whiteness.........
Thanks
Thank you for your generosity!
Are we any smarter than those who lived before us?😮🙈🙉🙊😮
Man I would love you to be my history teacher ❤
Defenestration - that's what Putin is doing.
Remember is is not the defenestration that kills you - it is the asphalt toxicity and deceleration trauma at the end...
10:23 BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Never knew that potatoes were vegetables… 😂
Imma assume Tolkien got Palantir from Pullarius
It’s just like red dead lore but it’s real life
The channel Necessary Information has a series of videos on CIA shenanigans. Some are funnier than others
Molasses is like maple syrup on steroids. Made from boiling sugar.
My father could write with both hands because he had been born left handed. Of course his hand writing wasn't very good with either hand.
Molasses = treacle.
😢just think, that Amerikan president would be claimed to have died of Covid, now
I do stress, I think this story is disgraceful and it’s almost poetic justice. In WW2, a Russian tank regiment hatched a plan to use dogs to destroy tanks. They made a bomb vest with a stick at the top which, when flattened, would detonate. They would starve the dogs for a few days and then hid food under tanks, put unarmed vests on the dogs and released them . The dogs immediately ran under the tanks to retrieve the food. After a few weeks of this, the dogs got the idea they would find food under the tanks. During an impending attack by a panzer division the Russians put the plan to work, strapped on the explosive vests and released the dogs……..who promptly ran under the Russian tanks looking for food. The plan was abandoned. Poor dogs, but what a revenge.
All I know is if I was living around violet Jessup…can you warn me before I board a ship with her?? 😂😂
The Latin word for "left", or left handed, is "sinister".
That probably had a part to do with the bias against lefties.
👍👍👍👍
I don't watch vids with fake film scratches.
No one cares dude.
K, so everything’s false.
The distortion overlay effect is overkill. Couldn't watch.
Left-handedness "was stigmatized up until the late-20th Century." I'm left-handed, and no, not even remotely.
Well, not everywhere, history is happening all over the place at different paces. I am not left-handed, but I still remember how colleagues were beaten with ruler when the teacher noticed they were writing with left hand. And this happened at the very beginning of 21st century, Eastern Europe
Oh it was a dying stigma in the Western World by that point too but it’s not something with a solid cutoff per say
I probably should have said "not in my experience." After I posted that I remembered my grandmother, a teacher, telling me that left-handedness was not tolerated during her early school days.
My grandmother, who was left handed, who was born in 1926 was forced to learn to write with her right hand.
Christianity has nothing to say about left handedness. At all
