These start off as cool and interesting and grow progressively more and more existentially terrifying.
Simon is the Morgan Freeman of UA-cam. He could narrate anything, so he narrates everything
I would probably listen to him reading the back of a cornflakes box. 😂😂😂
Omfg the morgan freeman of youtube killed me I'm still laughing
I know your right lol
This, exactly this
We enjoy him reading it
What if a honey badger became self-aware and googled itself?
It wouldn't give a fuck😆
Lord Dice X I don’t
think about what happens when the white house beast tweets.
It would still kill me in Farcry 😄
most of them (animals) already are self aware, they just arent so Vain that they need to make sure they look their best in a mirror. Stupid scientists.
I love the simpsons reference about "cracking open their neighbors skulls and feasting on the goo inside." Would you say it's time for our viewers to panic? Yes I would, Kent.
You should consider continuing this. It was interesting.
I was a bit disappointed by the shortness of each segment, so I'd like to hear more on each topic.
A bunch of "what if's" there is too much reality to keep up with.
Keep up the great work Simon.
He's the talking head. It seems like there are at least a few people who write the content.
I'm unconvinced about the falling into volcano solution. Most of the human body is water, so the Liedenfrost effect would be significant. Rather than charring up like a piece of dried wood, one would likely bounce around the surface of the magma for quite a while, the steam from your boiling blood and organs acting as a buffer against the magma, until your soft tissues eventually evaporate.
Boof what a lovely image ❤️
But aren't we also covered with highly flammable oils?
That's pretty brutal
I think the initial impact would be like hitting your average spongey rock you find in nature. Then after awhile the juices coming out of your body may have that effect somewhat. But I doubt it would be like on a frying pan.
Simon's joke about the Internet made me laugh.
Broken Bridge Hey there, great to see you here!
thumbs up for anyone else who said "oh my" after Simon said "Lions, Tigers and Bears". LOL
If the internet turned off for a day it would turn off again from a porn crash
Quinton Mejias damn it randy marsh
What if Simon grows hair on his head?
What if Simon shaved?
^^ you both won the comment section
Jay Williams lol 😂
Then he fails the wind tunnel test XD
+Meek Supremacy nigga I jus saw you comment in a cracked video, are you some kinda divine being observing the UA-cam comments?
I love this guy.... he gets me thinking and he has the voice for the job too... double thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻
I remember having wonderful snow days before the Advent of the home computer! Boring you say? Not in my book I got to spend the whole day at my friend's house. We had a week off school for an ice storm when I was in elementary school and we all had a blast!
"William Hardcore Smith, a paleoanthropologist" (that's what I heard, anyway!)
Glad I'm not the only one, lol 😜😂
His answer to the internet failing for a day had me dying lmao.
thanks simon, i'm not sure which will give me bigger nightmares now, falling into a valcano or not taking a bath for a year.
5:42 Actually, this happened at least 4 times: Aloha 243 lost a sizable chunk of its roof in midflight, the Douglas DC10 had its cargo door opened in midflight at least twice due to bad design and a flight lost its tail and crashed due to a hole opening in a badly repaired back plug.
Gets more and more cutting humour in. Carry on mates.💙
Actually, now that you mention it, I've already spent two weeks without any Internet (after it was invented). Those were my two vacations in North Korea, in 2012 and in 2015. It was alright, but I was kept quite busy with other things while in the DPRK. As soon as I landed in Beijing in my way home, I called my parents to let them know everything was alright, and I checked how my stocks were doing at an Internet café right there at Beijing airport.
My internet was out for 2 hours the other day *gasps* I watched a dvd. It was horrible!
Also in the number one scenario you make it sound like just because a speciies gained intelligence they would suddenly wage war upon us.
This i s suspect would not be the case as any truelly intelligent thing would clearly see that war is a stupid thing. :)
@@robinburt5735 No. Some species are inherently violent and deadly, suddenly gaining intelligence wouldn't change that. In fact it probably enhance it.
Actually there are several cases of explosive decompressions that have been caused on airplanes. As a flight attendant, I know that usually they are caused by metal fatigue. We are trained to handle the situation, as are pilots. In an extremely rare case a few people have been sucked out, and it is usually a flight attendant as they are moving about the cabin unsecured, but you are right, seat belts will protect you. A pilot will make an extremely rapid descent which will equalize air pressure. Oxygen masks will deploy which should be used as demonstrated as oxygen is too low at high altitudes to be adequate for proper breathing. The air pressure will equalize fairly rapidly, though the situation will be chaotic and extremely frightening. Of course, an emergency is immediately declared to air traffic control on a specific channel and the nearest landing place is cleared and prepared for an emergency landing. It is EXTREMELY rare these days, as maintenance crews and the FAA require stringent testing of the airframes to ensure their integrity. Just stay seated as possible with your seatbelt on, mainly to protect you from unexpected turbulance which can cause injury. 99.9% of the time air travel is safe, just do what your flight crews instruct you to do.
What if William Hardcore Smith was named William Softcore Smith?
The segment about the hole opening in an airplane is definitely true. Seems about 20 years ago there was an Aloha airlines plane that lost part of its roof during flight. I believe that a stewardess was ducked out of the plane.
lions and tigers and bears, 'oh my 😂
amazing and thought provoking "What Ifs" so far this is my favorite series that you guys do. Well done
What if #Alternatehistoryhub does a collaboration with #TopTenz?
You know, my Great-Great-Great Grand father used to tell stories about a time (when he waa very young) when there was no internet! He said people spent time outside, looking & talking to each other, rather than their phones (you should have heard what h said about phones in his day! Too embarrassing to mention). He was full of wild stories about the "Good old Days". Mad as a cut snake. Senility is such an affliction.
*Trillions* of self-aware, intelligent bats, and just as many rats, mice, and if this scenario includes insects forget about it.
I've read there are more than a billion insects for every human on the planet. Fun to think about innit 😉
For the millionth time, *no one* has ever been "sucked" out of a plane at altitude. The higher pressure inside the cabin *blows* you out. No sucking involved.
About the hole in a plane thing: It happened some years ago when a plane was flying from island to island in the Hawaii chain. A huge section of the roof was lost from just behind the cabin. A flight attendant who was standing there did get pulled out but everyone else, even those not strapped in did just fine. It landed and all were safe.
Love all your vids super stuff thanks
I had my phone close to me and then that roach photo came up, I got catrophobia (not correctly spelled, but it’s server fear of cockroaches) and I threw my phone at the wall...gotta have a warning ⚠️.... my heart.
Great video tho
I really enjoyed this video. Lots of scenarios I'd never think of otherwise. Please do a part 3!
Magmar and lavar (magma/lava) words of the day, use them in a conversation but don't point it out. Thanks Simon. Love your channel, I watch every day.
I've lived my entire life without the Internet, up until the time we all had it available. I live my life now with all reliance on technology that's required to perform everyday tasks and my entertainment. Being aware that life doesn't stop should the grid go down, I'm familiar and prepared to carry on all the everyday tasks manually....again.
The Neanderthals were assimilated. Neanderthals evolved in harsher climates with fewer resources required to raise larger families like modern humans did, they therefore evolved to be less fertile than modern humans. They didn't disappear, they were just absorbed.
You're right. They discovered that the caucasian race is about 3 to 5% of neadrithal.
Brad Solem , could you post any links on this ?
Exactly. Simon's "what if" was never even a what if, but fact as far as we know.
My mom had to take Viagra for Pulmonary Hypertension. I remember going to the pharmacy one to pick up the prescription (36 boxes). The pharmacist looked at me with a smirk ! 😰
Its very normal for women to take it; i dont know what Simon is on about here. The drug was originally produced to help with Hypertension and a sideeffect of increased libido was noticed in men. Viagra is not a sex-pill.
I really like you're videos
Another fantastic topic, so glad and happy, I found this channel by accident
Cool thought experiments! Much enjoyed, as always!
What if they lived? They do, in a village near me. “How closely related were your parents “ is a polite enquiry not an insult.
If the internet shuts down for just one day, we all die. No ifs, or buts, the world will burn.
Agreed. Pretty scary
The internet loss would be nothing compared to the panic it would cause. Like it or not, we're highly reliant on it
stupidly to say....yes :3 we are a lil to adicted to the internet :3 we would prop die from stress, and other stupid reason like riots because we are bored
I'm already bored of my DVD porn, no internet porn.........😨😞😢😭😠👿
thesstype, Happens FAST with the DVDs, right? We'd actually have to go and find someone to have sex with! Sounds like work :(
#9 Thank you TopTenz. I've lost sleep over this!
TopTenz By the way. Not sure when it happened, but a belated congratulations on reaching over 200 million total views!!! 😃👏
The internet going off for a day? Don't even joke about it! That's me not sleeping tonight.
Interesting?!
I Watched this video in bed, crippled with fear from a hangover. I'm freaking out
Very late, however a commercial 737 jet did have a skin section of the roof tear off at 24000 ft on an flight in Hawaii. Most everyone had some injuries, a stewardess was suck out of the plane and never recovered.
Seeing pictures of the plane its amazing that the entire thing didn't come apart.
Wow your old videos look and sound soooooo different lol love your content
I really like his perspective and choice of topics
On military operations we didn't wash for 72 days. At first we had terrible human body odour, after about 3 weeks we smelt like horses. (similiar to the pong of a stable in early morning) After about 9 weeks the odour of our clothing became rather rancid, somewhat like old cooking oil and that is about as bad as it got. We were operating in very hot semi desert conditions, so even rinsing was out as were were deep in enemy territory, and water pretty scarce, we didn't even brush our teeth for the whole operation. I cut my index finger almost to the bone attempting to open a ration tin with my knife, and figured the wound would go septic as I was filthy, but the cut healed normally without even a scar!When we got back to base and washed our uniforms they fell apart and we had to be re-issued with new. Actually the worst part of the whole ordeal was not having enough water to drink, washing wasn't even considered by most of us, being that dirty wasn't such a big deal.
Wow, that's a great first-hand experience description. Better you than me, but thanks. 👍😄
Simon whistleman is the pinnacle of human evolution
You should definitely do another hurricane video soon!
"Lav-er" and "Mag-mer". He cracks me up.
I was on the floor rolling at 3:40
The whiplash between the first and second ones broke my neck
had to say the "what would happen if we lost internet for a day" fast forward in year 2020, covid era and working at home through internet. its gonna suck!
Crack their heads open and feast on the goo inside 🤣🤣🤣🤣 solid laugh
The world is a strange place... " what if Neanderthals survived" is something I think about. "What if the dinosaurs lived on as they were until modern day", I remember life without the internet as it is today, so to be honest and perhaps somewhat naive, I think we can survive, albeit with a drastic adaptive curve for atleast 10 to 20 years. "What if" scenarios are freaking AWESOME things to contemplate!!
What if internet goes out for few days?
Step 1: Turn on steam in offline mode
Step 2: Resume lazy weekend
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit
H Koizumi battery die is step 3
2:38 That pronunciation killed me. 😂
Thankyou for the information..
how about this.....what if Krakatoa had never existed
Re: Internet shutting down - for a day, probably not a problem. Longer than that, it becomes an issue. Now, I'm just thinking for myself- I'm a chef for a senior living facility. Doesn't sound like a lot of internet, any use must be wasting time, perhaps. But everything I need to do is online, utilizing web-based desktops and apps. I would effectively not be able to use any office program or print anything. All ordering is done online, recipes online, payroll & timeclock, food safety checklists, phone system, all done via internet.
So, one day without it, we can get by. Much more beyond that, we are not set up for ANY of it. And other businesses are the same... think of buying anything? How much cash do you have on hand? How can most companies process a credit/debit card?
I'm LITERALLY watching this because my internet went down and I'm using my cell serive and wishing Simon and I could have drink at my garage bar and talk history and politics!
The not bathing for a year bit, I'm not convinced it would be as devastating as described. My disabled and schizophrenic father does infact never completely bathe but he's managed to live and function. When I was young he bathed only for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but for the last 10 years he's done little other than wash his hands. Plus the yearly washing of his scalp with a dandruff shampoo
There was life before the internet and there would be life after. MP3s would still be around and Maps still exist. You can even play a DVD or listen to Radio.
Cool video! Subscribed :-)
What if you ran across Mr. Whistler?SHOW COMPLETE RESPECT. Bad things happen to those who's pride gets them busted up pretty bad.Heed my warning. Your welcome.
A section of roof panel tore off on an airliner near Hawaii several years ago...passengers were ok but a hostess was sucked out..
The plane landed without incident...kind of a glowing recommendation of the way planes are designed (it was a long term maintenance issue with airline which operated the plane).
in reference to #8, Birth Control Pills are often used as a cheap form of Hormone Replacement (for reduction of Menopause symptoms, for the beginnings of Male-to-Female Sex Changes, etc.).
Make this a series please
Viagra also has no effect on men's sex drive. It simply helps prolongue an erection by increasing the blood flow, but the drive has to be there in the first place.
GREAT VIDEO.................
9:32 someone in Mexico already did this experiment, I'll let you know the result was that they didn't get sick or suffering major infections though they definitely stank like hell, and after getting their first shower he got a cold, also he selected one single piece of clothing and didn't change it for the entire year
If the internet goes down, just get Kyle Brofloski to reboot it. Solved.
Oh, man, I would TOTALLY watch a movie based on the last bit!
Bacteria could be "the twist."
#5 just happened today. The person next to the hole died. Engine exploded, broke the window and person sitting by the window died.
0:52 Did he say William Hardcore Smith? HARDCORE!
Wouldn't there be catastrophic system failures for things like the grid, nuclear power plants, military defense systems, air and sea traffick traffic control systems, hospitals, and ect.? Seems like you may be understating the issues.
Those all have back- up internal servers. We'd be safe.
Most are off internet anyway for safety reason. (See what happened with the recent big companies hacks, like oil. Gvt agencies can't allow this to happen.
There had been issues with hospitals too, but it can be argued that many now are just private companies).
Dont tell DD Cooper that he cant open an airplane door. I think that's how he got out.
I really could have done without number 2!
You need to check with Niel De Grasse Tyson on the colliding universe effect. I have always been told that there is so much space between the stars and planets that the odds of any of them colliding is almost nil. Their gravitational forces however will play hell with both universes tho.
Exactly. I still don't know where he gets the idea that the collision would happen at the speed of light...
Right, I missed that comment.
8:28 My uncle refused to bathe for over a year. The only thing he washed was his hands because he's "ocd". He continued to work at his job teaching children guitar. So this disgusting pile of trash I'm related to was in constant close contact with people and often in a very small room. He charged ridiculous amounts for lessons too. I feel bad for those kids. He actually ended up going into hospital where we found out he had congestive heart failure. He still wouldn't bathe for months after that. He'd never change his clothes either. He also had long hair that he wouldn't brush so it became a giant matted mess. After finding out he had the condition he decided he'd rather die than get it fixed so he moved into my house with my family so we could "take care of him in his final days." So I had the "joy" being forced to see and smell him 24/7.
He ended up having surgery to fix his heart(he thought he was dying one night and decided he didn't want to die after all). It's been almost 3 years since he stopped bathing and he's only had 3 baths in that time. I honestly don't know how he had that open chest surgery with a filthy body and didn't come out with sepsis or something.
If the internet stopped for a day or two? Imagine the productivity boost! In all areas! I mean, a few planes would crash, a few ships would go off course, but then, we will probably find the cure to cancer, FTL travel, terraforming other planet and so on!
Around 2% of my DNA Neanderthal, I discovered this after taking a DNA test
Elliot Johnson Wow! Post a photo!
4%? No. 1.4 maybe.
@@bradleygraves2935 just had the wrong number oh 2 years ago, and found the right one when someone reminded me I made this comment
What if their were humans who could turn into great apes by looking at the moon?
Our planet would be destroyed by an a sexual daddies boy lol
The Captain Humans are great apes. No need for what if’s
It only works with wolves... 😜
:/ aren't the majority of card payment machines connected to the internet?
That alone would cause mass panic buying.
Also would ATM's go down, therefore denying people the ability to have any currency for a few days?
Also, don't the big traders on the stock exchange use super fast computers too make transactions?
Tbh I think you've underestimated what would happen if the internet went down for a few days.
You wouldn't be able to spend much anyway, because all the cash registers would be down. A power outage alone does that. Of course the power grids would be down too. Us old people could cope better, we got along with a lot of the stuff before it was around.
“For One Day”
@@christelheadington1136 Speak🤫.
Too many people tremble over speculation and swear that they would die if they have to do without such and such.
THEY just might but it will be THEIR CHOICE.
The REAL PROBLEM imho will be whether or how much those of us who are more self-sufficient (or at least willing to try) will extend assistance to them.
I realize that there is a lot of industry that depend on FAST mass communication but the world managed before it existed...DUH
@@KC______ -Well 2 years ago, when this video was first posted, I don't think anyone predicted the great toilet paper panic of 2020.Humans are the craziest animals.
I think that if another universe collided with our own the physics could possibly resemble what happens when two bubbles collide with each other: they might collide and both effectively "pop" each other, they could end up merging, one universe could more or less "absorb"/consume the other, or finally, they might collide, distorting at first, but eventually somewhat restabilizing, but as a bonded pair sharing a common "wall" between them, similar to when two bubbles collide, and become "stuck" to each other. And just as each of these different bubble collision scenarios have different outcomes on the geometry, structure, pressure and physics of bubbles.
Probably a little late: Question 5: Happened on Aloha flight 243 about 2 decades ago. The short answer is that the air would leave violently. Unfortunately, on the Aloha flight, a flight attendant standing near the hole was sucked up into the hole. She momentarily blocked the hole with her body and the pressure ripped about 1/3rd of the roof of the plane off.
Simon I think you need to do a show on the great emu war ! Blows your theory’s for number one out of the water
Read a book, go outside and play, family board games, make something with your hands, cook a fabulous meal , bake , neighborhood kick ball, softball, soccer game. Spooky story time. Make up silly songs, talk to each other, watch old movies on disc,clean your filthy apartment, clean out the fridge, have a bon fire, roast marshmallows, make smores, have a potluck neighbor party, take a long bike ride, go fishing, walk the beaches, be really pissed you have to hand write and hand deliver all your work requests. Slow down and breath.
annette fournier Thank you for ideas for our next camping trip😆
Heidi Marchant your welcome. I don't go camping anymore. We go glamping with the girls and let the boys do tents.lol. meet them at the fire which the girls start because the boys suck at it and choke everyone with lighter fluid. We don't need no stinking lighter fluid!
annette fournier 😂😂😂so true boys are pyromaniacs, I know mine are! I've had to hide every match, lighter, you name it lol.
Heidi Marchant Yup they are not allowed fire😉😎😂
We did grow up next to other humanoid species. It seems that we absorbed neanderthal Etc.
Good video
What if one of our cold adapted, hairy ancestors is the sasquatch? Legend has it we are somewhat fertile.
In other words, the "what if" for neanderthals actually did happen. Our genes were just the stronger ones.
I was under the impression that volcanoes are basically filled to the brim with methane and other heavy/deadly gases? I would assume you could asphyxiate from gas inhalation before you asphyxiate due to charred lungs. Not much of a distinction, and itll probs hurt like hell regardless, just curious
Why am I up at 1 am watching this?
It gave me some writing ideas
Man all the cows and pigs would be sooo pissed
Really what would happen if you fell into a volcano really that's one of your top 10 questions dude you really need to reach further into the box
