Jeans are NOT Irish. I repeat Jeans are Not Irish 👖 ☘️
Not until they have hot sauce spilled on them.

dungarees?
I'd like to see your take on the movie " Darby O'Gill and the Little people"
And the 'Irish' potato is actually American. Potatoes originated in the Americas from the southern US to South America.
Oh yes, the potato. Fed the famine it did indeed.
But the Irish ironically "brought them back" with them as they emigrated to the US. They improved yields in Ireland and brought these new, improved breeds of potatoes with them. My grandmother way back in the 1970s used to call the heirloom variety she still grew "Irish potatoes" to distinguish from other varieties. She was fourth generation American of Irish descent (and Native American on the other side), but she still had something of a corrupted Irish Appalachian accent on certain words, so she actually called these potatoes something sounding closer to "Arsch potatoes".
Potatoes actually originated in Peru look it up if you don't believe me and it was brought over to the America's including Europe but funny how no ever brings this piece of information up
@@mercedesvelasquez8781 yes they did. And all the different species types as well. The Irish people, lol. Bragging the potato came from Ireland. Hmmm 🤔 but did they create a special breed of their own? Possibly a mix breed which was created in the country, but I'm sure that's also been done in the America. I love Peru by the way! You guys are amazing 🤩
Tomatoes & potatoes: changing diets from Italy to Ireland, Poland & Germany, to the Caucasus and beyond to India!!!
The picture is a bit misleading since pumpkins are native to the Americas. I believe the Irish carved their Jack-o-lanterns with turnips or other root vegetables.
Originally yes
Yes, the pumpkin, candy and horror films were part of the American influence on the Irish holiday
Happy Monday Diane!
I got a baby frog and decided to get a DNA test for it.
He turned out to be mostly French, a little bit Irish, somewhat German, and a tad Pole.
The first submarine used in combat was the Turtle. It was designed and built in 1775 by David Bushnell, a teacher, inventor and medical doctor who was born in Connecticut. He got his inspiration from Cornelius Drebbel, a Dutch inventor who built a submarine in the early 1600s for the English navy. John Phillip Holland, who was born in 1841, (so he was born after the first submarine used in combat during the Revolutionary War) used some of the designs of both of those men. Holland was the builder of the first submarine to be commissioned by the US Navy and the Royal Navy, but he definitely did not come up with the idea.
I believe Leonardo Di Vinci had a submarine design too.
The first true submersible used in combat was the CSS HUNLEY . The Turtle didn't fully submerge.
Regardless of which is considered the first submarine, they all predate John Phillip Holland's emigration to the United States.
@@MichaelScheele Holland's political affiliations was overturned by his desire to make money. He started out building submarines for The Feninian Brotherhood but eventually sold submarines to the British Royal Navy.
To be honest, everything I know about the Turtle came from a giant Superman bicentennial comic that I got as a small child. Superman wasn't in the story, but he "presented" it (which felt like a jip even to five-year-old me). But I loved the historical stories therein, and my favorite was about the Turtle. lol
What do you call a row of rabbits walking backwards? A receding Hare line. 🐇
Fire brigades in America were NOT started by the Irish, instead, Ben Franklin founded the Union Fire Company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1736.
And Howard Schultz didn't found Starbucks; he was hired as their marketing manager after they'd been in business for 12 years. The founders of Starbucks had learned the tea/coffee trade in my home town of Berkeley, California under the instruction of a Dutch immigrant named Alfred Peet, who founded the eponymous Peet's Coffee in North Berkeley in 1966 (it's now a regional chain, mostly in the West. They've recently started broadcasting commercials, basically mocking Starbucks for serving what amount to hot milkshakes with practically no coffee in them).
While they were training in coffee roasting at the direction of the notoriously Dutch-blunt Mr. Peet, they went to a lot of the San Francisco espresso cafes that we've had in the many Italian neighborhoods of the Bay Area for over 100 years. I can name at least four different North Beach cafes that my parents regularly took me to ten years before Starbucks opened in Seattle, and 20 years before Howard Schultz was hired there. Caffe Trieste on Washington Square has had musical performances/singalongs every Saturday night for over 60 years, largely done by people in the neighborhood. If you told any North Beach cafe regular that their culture was poached from Irish teahouses, they'd laugh at you and give you long lectures about the beatniks in the 1950s.
New York's coffee culture is even older than San Francisco's, as they got Italian immigrants before we did.
When Diane gets on her "up the Irish" kicks, she sometimes sounds like those old-school Soviet spokesmen who insisted that Russians had invented everything worthwhile in human history: Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, airplanes, soap on a rope...it's hard to take our proprietress seriously when she goes on like that.
Oh, and there were successful submersible designs and experiments in Holland and Italy as far back as the 16th Century.
Not started by the Irish but largely run by Irish and Irish Americans especially in the Northeastern cities and Chicago for much of the 19th and 20th centuries.
@@Desert-Father a lot of Irish cops, too
Not gonna lie, when I was a correctional counselor I would always tell my inmates that I was Irish Catholic and liked stories and that they needed to tell me the story behind why they ended up in prison. Worked every time.
Turtle (also called American Turtle) was the world's first submersible vessel with a documented record of use in combat. It was built in 1775 by American David Bushnell as a means of attaching explosive charges to ships in a harbor, for use against the Royal Navy during the American Revolutionary War.
All true but Holland was the developer of the first modern submarines designed and sold to the US Navy.
@@Desert-Father I didn't say it wasn't. And that wasn't the claim in the video, so why did you post that?
@@user-po3ev7is5w Because she said "modern" submarine.
@@Desert-Father The Holland sub isn't a modern sub. It is one of the oldest
@user-po3ev7is5w Modern meaning it's propelled by machinery not by hand and it can fully submerge.
We had submarines in the civil war. The H. L. Hunley was launched in 1863 and sunk a couple times before finally hitting the bottom in 1864
She said "modern" submarine. I think contemplating something that was machine powered and could fully submerge. Of which Holland's submarine was the first. The Hunley only partially submerged and was powered by a hand crank.
Coffee shops were a thing long before Starbucks. Starbucks just had a lot of success.
My grandfather had John Holland as a teacher (my grandfather was born in 1860 in Paterson NJ). One of his early submarines was called the Fenian Ram (even if its official name was Holland II.
The Turtle Submersible was launched in 1775 and the CSS Hunley was launched in 1863. Just FYI. Before the 1873 John Phillip arrival. John Phillip Holland designed the first commissioned U.S. Navy submarine. The CSS Hunley was Confederate.
She said modern submarine. Neither the Turtle or the Hunley were machine powered or fired torpedoes. The Turtle was not even fully submersible.
Submarine designs (and even builds) have been around a lot longer than that. The Greeks (yes it comes back to them lol) toyed with sub ideas way back. Someone mentioned below that the first time one was used in combat was during the US Civil War. This is one of those subjects that has multiple influences and developments in various parts of the world.
As a Seattleite, I take issue with this video. In actuality, Schultz was probably influenced by a number of sources however his most direct influence was stated to be Viennese coffee houses and coffee culture. Sidenote the first submersible to actually enter the water and see combat did so for the Americans during our revolution. Designed by David Bushnell it had room for a single occupant and was intended as a raider against the British blockade.
Thanks Diane. What's your favorite tea in America? Blue jeans were developed in America by the Levi Strauss company in 1873! They are now copied and made by dozens of companies.
When I became a firefighter, the other guys in my academy thanked me for "Kelly Days".
My last name, obviously.
An off day that would normally be a work day is called a Kelly Day. It was used for 24 hour shifts that were performed every other day. Once every two weeks, you'd get a Kelly Day, so you'd have three days off in a row. So, every two weeks, instead of working every other day forever, you'd get a "weekend". (When I did a modified Detroit schedule, we didn't have a Kelly Day. It's not needed for that schedule.)
Everyone thanked me for having a lazy ancestor that had a day off named after him.
I would love to see you do a video on Irish cryptids, and folklore creatures.
Just learned from 23 and me that I come from the Irish lowlands. And my ancestors all or from there. Thank you for showing me where my heritage is.
The Diane a unit of measurement to measure cheeriness. When it goes negative its measured in Editor Dianes
Oooooh interesting concept. I’d say it’s more of a spectrum in reality as opposed to the stark opposing ends on camera.
If editor Diane says something negative too-- then-- two negatives make a positive and around we go…😂
Ahh math. 🧮 so much fun.
I’m mostly Scottish, Scorch Irish, Welsh,and British descend with.a little bit of Ieish and French(Acadian). Plus I learn Paul McCartney was Irish, John Lennon was Irish descend, and George Harrison was Irish/Scorch Irish.
James Hoban was the architect for the White House that stood from November 1800 until August 1814 when it was burnt by British soldiers and had to be rebuilt with it's current design.
I enjoy seeing alot of Irish traditions in America. Brings Me lots of Happy Joy
Half Greek half Irish guy here☝🏻. Everything is Greek and Irish in my world 😂😂 thank you
"Big Fat Greek Wedding" was filmed in the Toronto, Canada suburb of East York. (Just up the street from were I lived.)
A machine named a Diane would be very purposeful with a powerful microprocessor in its brainhead thinking box, whilst at the same time being slightly ditsy, creating a distinct air of whimsy. Set the controls to 11 to select weird. I don't know what it's purpose would be but I think that it would achieve it with gusto and oodles of fun. They would all be finished with plenty of sparkly bits, and there would have to be an option for them to be painted orange. I think that it would have substantial market potential in US and European markets.
The Irish invented a shirt to wear on the 5 days of the year the temperature broke 20C. while drinking tea. It was the origin of the T-Shirt. As cousin Joe from Mayo would say: “No Joke”.
I knew that Hoban was the designer of the original grey colored Executive Mansion (it didn't become the White House until 1901when it was painted white. It was called that by Teddy Roosevelt). Then he re-designed it after the Brits burned it down in during the War of 1812. Finished in 1817. The South Portico was added in 1829 by Hoban, the North Portico was added in 1831 by Kellogg, D.W. and Co. The West Wing was added in 1902 by McKim, Mead, and White Architects. The interior was gutted and rebuilt in 1952.
Even the current president is Irish. Haha 😅
Kerry Gold Butter is real good butter enjoyed in America
The only butter at my house!
Starbucks has ambience (beyond fast food coffee ambience)?
I am from New Orleans and we have had coffee culture for over 200 years.
Thank you, Ireland, for giving us Halloween! 🥳👻
I guess the Irish are chiefly responsible for the "modern" interpretation. But the belief of the weakening between the worlds at the four points of the year, goes way back. The Germans called the Autumnal Equinox Winternacht.
I am away for two years, and, OMG! Fancy makeup, fancy lighting, fancy studio, crew, and fancy graphics. This is so sad. No more Diane. So sad.
In the past many Irish immigrant would celebrate Thanksgiving Day as Ragamuffin Day. They would dress up in old clothes and go begging for treats. irish Central has a good article.
I'm not sure of the accuracy of the story re the invention of the "submarine". Holland was credited with certain aspect of submarine design, but the first recorded working of a "submarine" was in 1963 by H. L. Hunley for the Confederate States of America.
Hoban’s design for the White House is not the current White House. His version was burned to the ground in the award of 1812 and no one could find the plans or remember what it looked like, so they commissioned a new one.
Company E, Emerald Guard, 33rd Virginia Infantry of the Stonewall Brigade composed of Irish immigrant volunteers may have been first to make the infamous "Rebel Yell" at 1st Bull Run
Hi Diane! Happy Monday to you! Thanks for sharing this video! Hope that you have a great rest of your week! I enjoy your presence and everything that you do when it comes to your channel! 👋😎💚🍀🇨🇮🇨🇮
Thank you so much!
A "Jennings" would be a variant on ginning, as to gin up - essentially it would be a prototype ship of any kind, like a flying submarine.
H. L. Hunley, also known as the Hunley, CSS H. L. Hunley, or CSS Hunley, was a submarine of the Confederate States of America that played a small part in the American Civil War. It was launched in 1863.
OK...did not know about the subs or the White House. Great video, Diane!
Hooray another educational video. This is another great video and I have learned quite a bit from it. Some of these I did know already such as the Halloween one.
Glad you enjoyed it!
We had a submarine in civil war in 1864, but used man power to move. And a thing call the Tuttle that was Use in revolution war you should read about it
Cicadas!! Will be fun to see your cicada video when they really break out. Travel if you have to/if you’re not in a cicada area.
I can guarantee there are very few Americans who would think Halloween is American.
Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
"Everything tastes better out of me"... I bet it does 😮😅😂
St Patrick's Day is a great tradition and Irish Heritage Month in March
I assume The Diane would be a combination Chewie Petter / Sweets Dispenser, tbh.
One of the earliest submarines in the U.S. got the widespread nickname “Foolkiller.”
If you have not already seen it, you should watch the movie "Gangs of New York". Very good movie dealing with Irish immigration back in the day. You could probably get a video out of that.
Thanks for the video 👍🏻
You could have added a clip in #1 from 'Halloween' where Dr. Loomis says 'Sam Hain' (Samhain).
Did you know that George Washington did not live in the White House? It was not until John Adams (the second President) when he moved into a yet unfinished house.
It wasn't the white house until the British burned it in the war of 1812 and the Americans painted it white to cover the damage.
Lovely video Diane. Another American thing that is actually IRISH is me, well a few generations removed (around 11 or so, 1790 was a long time ago), so yea there's that. I find it amazing that your video is only 7 hours old and yet you have 6.4K views, but what I find more amazing is that there were 5.4K eegits that couldn't figure out how to use the thumb's up button. You'll have that I suppose. Cheers.
No one in America is proud to call Starbucks our own
0:56 😯 oh my🫢 I need one of them cups!
…to make everything taste better??
😊I can see that.
John Holland is a famous guy in CT. cradle of US subs (think Electric Boat) 1st US Navy sub.
you are the funniest person I know. you and Chewie are pleasant to see at the end of a long day
Very informative. I love your content. I also love your accent. ❤😊😊😊

Great video as always.
“The Diane” would be a fully automatic speed bedazzler gun.
The first submarine was man powered and used torpedo at the end of a stick . It was lost when the Confederates used a torpedo on a ship
The Turtle predated the Hunley, which you're referring to by a century. But neither were "modern submarines". They were not fully submersible or machine powered. Holland was the first to build a fully submersible machine powered submarine.
Hi there Diane!👋 Thanks for sharing this with us!😊
Hello 😊 thank YOU
The delorean car company is designed in America and built by the Irish in Ireland. The cars most known for being in Back to the Future
they were great for trafficking cocaine too.
Ooh! Love ❤️ this kind of format!
Yay 🎉
Holland did the modern submarine but Americans used subs in both the Revolution and Civil War. Although if either Bushnell or Hunley are Irish names, there's a chance there.
It’s Diane “ I’m always spilling Food on myself “ Jennings. Did you know they took down your Ac/Dc video from Wednesday.
The other day I told a chemistry joke, got no reaction. I guess I was out of my element
I did. Dick heads
Thanks for sharing these things Diane!
You are so welcome!
"The Diane" should be a new candy bar that sweet and has great taste! Yummy, like Diane
Ahh, so that’s why the British burned the White House during the War of 1812 - the sight of Irish architecture inflamed their anger. 😀
"everything tastes better out of me." I just bet it does!😋
Very nice video, content is 👍🏼 love the flow and delivery ❤
What about a video of you doing all the fun things IN Ireland that you (or Editor Diane) actually enjoy doing. 😊
-has this happened ? I’m too new !
Or can u taste 10…or 9…. Irish beers and rate them? Would be fun 🤩
That was very interesting. I didn’t know most of those. While I was listening, I had an idea for another video for you to do. Perhaps you’ve done it already as I haven’t watched everything you’ve put out, but it would be fun to see a more in-depth look at what words in America come from Irish. I just love the entomology of words and phrases.😊
I ❤this video. Very informative.
If I got here a few seconds earlier, and could type better, my comment asking about is this going to be like the dad in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" would have been much better.
Hahaha great minds think alike chip
Thank you 🇮🇪!
We never used to have Halloween here until recent times. It was viewed as an American thing, as it was mostly shown on American TV programs. When we finally adopted it, I thought it was mostly commercially driven, as all the chain stores were selling massive amounts of kit for the event. I do live in an Ulster settlement though. But wait... it is probably more Scottish than Irish. I did learn the origin of the word "galore" today, and history of submarines too.
Diane, you have become so professional at this! Bravo!
“And then America joined in, and you commercialized it.”
Like we tend to do.
Thanks, Diane! The 7 is my second favorite number, after 3. Odd numbers are the best! I always enjoy learning new things from you, Irish Girl. And yes, Fire Departments are usually staffed by a majority of Irish descent folks...back in the day, it was hard, dirty work and only the Irish would get hired. It's still hard, dirty work, but now it's a generational family tradition.
Yes, a great community of Irish in the fire brigade
As always, great video.
I appreciate that! I think some of them are duds
@@DianeJennings not that I've seen. Your smile alone will brighter a day.
3:15 I’d never considered where Starbucks pulled inspiration from for their shops’ concept
Thanks Diane! I had no idea about almost everything on your list. It’s amazing how a relatively small country can have an oversized contribution to modern society. Very cool!
It really is! I am sincerely awed by our reach myself
John Barry father of the US Navy
what about the coffee house in england, that is where LLOYDS OF LONDON started, in a coffee shop in london...
And Amsterdam, where coffee/chocolate houses were big things going back to the 17th Century (the Dutch had trade ties with Turkey, so they had access to coffee before anyone else in Northern Europe; they had transplanted coffee seeds to their colonies in Sri Lanka, Surinam and Indonesia by 1660, and were the primary bean supplier to Europe by 1700). Most especially Vienna, where coffee culture started in the late 17th Century brought by Turks, and really took off in the 19th Century, launching imitations all over Europe.

6:12 the submarine invention is genuinely surprising
5:20 ✨ dazzling technical term✨😂
An earlier submarine was the H.L. Hunley in 1863. Even earlier, was the Turtle, in 1775.
The submarine and the white house were the surprising ones. And Halloween is a fun holiday 🎃
It’s the most fun! Christmas is lovely but Halloween is fun
Great video Diane! Hi Kimura! And thanks for the great shout out, Diane.
Number 7 could be you. Didn't some folks use to think you were American, but you're actually Irish?
You are so welcome! Oh yeeeeah! Some still do goes the conspiracy
"Woof!"
Not with that accent...🤣🤣
We had submarines during the Civil war.
Fun video. About the Irish jeans... yeah. 6 out of 7 ain't bad.
Halloween is my birthday.
This video will be very cool.
I hope so!
Thank GOD! for the Irish We helped build the U.S.A.
"Uneven numbers"? Now that's very odd.
