Pffff, that old thing, imagine the ship battles we could have in a flooded Met Stadium!
I have never seen a video where the ad break is the part that's the MOST REPLAYED. Absolutely beautiful.
7:45 it would be a saline lake, so it wouldn't really make the bordering land super arable as plants don't usually do well with salt in the soil...
It would start to evaporate and become more salty, but this would cause more rain to be created in the area (unsure whether it would fall there though) You do have an exit channel planned though which would allow salt to cycle out of the lake/sea...and this would be a massive shipping route as well, for both the centre of Australia and the coastal cities in the East.
There actually used to be a massive sea inside of Europe and Asia. It housed several species of very small baleen whales that tragically and likely painfully went extinct as it dried up and became increasingly poisonous
I would check to sea how deep the basin is the water would flood into. Over that large an area you'd be risking making a giant salt pan (too hot for marsh too shallow for lake). It could end up being even more uninhabitable than it is now.
There's also the question as to whether or not the land in that area would even be able to be arable even IF there was more rain.
Additionally, just because both ends would connect to the ocean, that doesn't mean that the water would flow in from one end and out the other. You'd have to figure out some way to keep the water flowing to cycle through. Otherwise what might happen is that both ends would have the ocean flowing in towards a larger central lake/inner sea where the water evaporates and causes the salt to build up. You might be able to fix that by some sort of system of pumps, but that wouldn't be sustainable at all.
You'd also have to make sure the river was both wide enough to actually cause a noticeable change to the surrounding geography through evaporation, deep enough that the water wouldn't evaporate over the hundreds (or even thousands) of miles in distance that it would cover, and also that the sides of the artificial river were structurally reinforced so you didn't have to worry about erosion blocking off stuff.
@@roetheboat1 Yeah... well hopefully one side is higher than the other, or there's gonna have to be some fancy engineering done to make it flow one way...or it'd just make South Western Austrailia an island with a straight in between.
you'd have to create it at a high elevation so you could run rivers through both to expand the livable area it would create, and to ensure the water actually flows and isn't stagnant. You'd also have to transport all the water up there to begin with, and probably continue to do so until the evaporation cycle ensures it stays filled and flowing

fun fact: when the dutch discovered Australia (then called New Holland) 100 years before the british colonized it. they didn't settle on it because it was just a wasteland with no resources to gain. If you look at maps drawn at the time you see that the east connects up to Papua-New Guinea.
the dutch literally only discovered all Australia's coastline that were desert and literally just missed the big stretch of perfectly suitable land.
As an architecture student I can say historian made some good points. Like finding entrance is a very important thing and architects like hadid doens't focus on that all they do is taking attention. "Form follows function" it's a common thing i mean just a ground rule but they dont follow these rules and other architects just applause, building a death ray is not important for them they just want aesthetic buildings.
It's one of those things that I feel 99% of people wouldn't consciously acknowledge but I saw a video a little bit ago of an architect reviewing a spaceship luxury yacht thing on star citizen and I found it so interesting. Mentioning all the little things that architects have to consider, even down to the frequency of lighting used in different areas, like "oh, you want people to congregate in the corners away from the flow of traffic, so they have warm lighting to make them relaxed" and other such considerations. And with layout I guess you've got to be always asking "will this confuse dumb people?"

@@Bruh-7 Pretty sure it was a third party company they had a contract with in Finland which they terminated their contract with and it was a long expired key of some sort (TLS?) that was acquired and leaked.

They're probably only ramping up sponsored ads again because they think people forgot, don't care anymore, or know that basically nothing happened and they're not (completely) at fault. If you wanna use them after that whole fiasco that's up to you tho
this is why you have to get ExpressVPN
You forgot to adjust for inflation for the estimated cost of the Australia canal. The price adjusted for inflation is about 400 billion and also the canal will have to go through places of very high elevation (300 meters above sea level at least) and the Panama Canal only goes up 26m. Also the Panama Canal uses a gate system meaning that is not just a free flowing canal. If you were to build the Australian Canal then you would either have to make it free flowing (extremely difficult considering the elevation of the areas it has to go through) or build a fuckton of gates. Basically the price would be in the trillions of usd at least.
Just bring Goku and let him use Kamehameha to create a free flow canal. You can pay him in food later.
They could probably file some FOIA requests from the US government and get those Operation Plowshare plans. That way we get 20-foot lizards and five-headed kangaroos along the canal. If they round up all the rabbits, they might have a chance of obliterating them. While it would create the world's largest nuclear exclusion zone, imagine the money that would come from tourists in a million years when it's safe again. Hell, I'd be down see dingos with hundreds of feet and maybe get an up and close look of a Killer Rabbit with whatever strange mutations humans will have evolved by then. It would basically pay for itself.
I wonder why all the new soil tastes salty and cant be used to grow shit, seaking of wich, the lake also tastes mighty salty, wonder why?

As an actual architecture student, it pisses me off to no end when my professor demands every model painted pure white. I've considered taking the risk of tanking my project grade just to add a splash of color. "From Bauhaus to Our House" is a great comedic, short book about how architecture has backed itself into a corner of modern and post modern crap.
Splash it with colors that your professor hates most

Haha I am also an architecture student and 100% agree with you about the post modern crap bit xD
The fun thing about the Washington Monument is that you can clearly see where they originally ran out of money/materials, and then the rest of it is a slightly different color above that point. Like, yeah, did you not check how many rocks you had before you decided to make a giant obelisk? No? Eh, we'll figure it out.
The monument actually had to change which quarry it was receiving limestone from mid-construction. The original quarry became unavailable when the state it was in seceded from the Union. A northern quarry was chosen and work continued throughout the civil war, however the limestone was a different hue, being sourced from a different location
I still don't know why it's a Obelisk
Doesn't really fit Washington at all to me
For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it- lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish’?
- Jesus of Nazareth (Gospel of Luke, ch. 14, v. 28-30)
I can’t unsee it now
@Quinn Holloway it’s literally a giant phallic symbol, and Washington never had children and was probably sterile.
The funny thing is, my state made 3 pyramid buildings for offices. Except the angle was wrong so the windows kept shattering. Turnes out the Egyptians figured out the same thing ants did, there is only one truly stable angle for pyramid shapes or they fall appart. The pyramid office buildings are now mostly concrete (they removed 99% of all windows) and are constantly being fixed because they keep cracking. So yeah, modern people can make pyramids easily, but they don't always actually work lol
Fun fact: there is a law in Washington D.C. that says that no building within a certain radius can be taller than the Washington Monument. They wanted to make sure that the Monument would always be the tallest thing in D.C.
There are unwritten rules that say the same about the York Minster cathedral in York, England. Nobody has any proof that it exists anywhere, but it is known to be the case.
@ewan xl do spires count as a part of the building? If not, you can make a building slightly shorter than the Washington Monument and add the spire, making the building taller.
Same thing with Madison, Wisconsin
Yep, as someone who lives in the district, you can see that thing all across town. There's also rules about what can be in the middle of it in the mall
Same in Paris, only it is across the whole city. I've been up the second tallest building in Paris because it's much cheaper than the Eiffel Tower!
"Why are they called buildings when they're no longer in construction?"
Alright, I can spare a few minutes.
It comes from the ancient Germanic "botd", which itself means "To dwell". Botding would mean "dwelling", and has nothing to do with the construction process meaning of "Build", which comes from the ancient Germanic "Bold".

"I haven't seen Australia outside of Road Runner cartoons." They take place in desert areas of USA, actually.
21:12 Fun fact, in Europe, countries like Italy and Germany are actually way newer than the US.
Germany became Germany in 1871 and so did Italy oddly enough.
Yeah, and when Italy became united shortly after with industrialization they demanded all taxes be paid in cash by its citizens and that's why many Italians migrated to the US and western Europe.
Is that ironic or just funny?
That somewhat depends on how you define it. While *modern* Germany, for example, has only been around since 1871, "Germany" existed as the Holy Roman Empire long before that. The question is, if a country collapses and then is rebuilt, especially given these periods were so close together that not much actually changed (from a cultural standpoint) is it a different country of the same one?
Yes, I'm aware borders are different, but I don't think that matters. For example, did Russia not exist until 1991? The Russian SSR was rather different from modern Russia, as before that the Russian Empire.

The only issue is that the Panama Canal was build between 1881 and 1914. If you adjust for inflation the price goes up by something like 3000%, or like 400 Billion USD. Considering the Australian GDP is about 1.3 Billion USD that seems like a tall order.

So 1300 years. Less than I thought, really.
Why does he always have the most serious voice and talk about the stupidest things, like why is he not in history channel
because he is an alien
He is the history channel, I N T E R N E T H I S T O R Y
"history channel" I've learnt more from IH than i have from the history channel in years. Honestly, who wants to see some reality show about renovating tanks/cars/bikes/ufo's when it's always over dramatic yank stuff now. Also, there was some military historian from sandhurst, had glasses quite handsome, he's now a woman, if you watched the old tank stuff and military stuff you'll know who.
@@dadoogie You can renovate a UFO?
if you're renovating a ufo, then by then it's gotta be identified, thereby disqualifying it as a ufo by definition
13:47 I’ve actually been in that stadium, and it’s pretty sweet. The Jumbotron is like a giant cylinder that sits below the top so everyone can see it no matter where they’re seated. The only problem is that it’s really high up and hurts to look at for a long period of time.
gotta say it's been a LONG time since i've found a new comedy troupe that hits the gut and keeps me laughing in every episode, and thank god I found Incognito Mode. you 2 keep doing what you do. thanks for the laughs!
"we're the same size as the continental US"
"the project is comparable to the panama canal"
something doesn't add up here
He means it would be the same type of digging. he shows its 33 times longer.
i mean, keepin everyone from overheating to death would prolly be hard, and panama is small so its easier to move shit around and logistically manage.
Okay but hear me out, what if we let the water do most of the digging? It'll take thousands of years
Also, seawater does not make for very good arable land. Might as well water your crops with brawndo the thirst mutilator.
And there was already a lake going half way in Panama. On top of that they will have unforseen costs and a dangerous environment. Looking at Australia's government I doubt they would divert so much machinery from the ore mining since it is less risky and very profitable to stick to mining

Pisa and Sienna : Okay yes we are Tuscan cities but this doesn't mean that we are Florence okay ? We have our own history and we often were in conflict with Florence. Is that clear guys ?

The rest of the world : Ok Florence
Pisa and Sienna : REEEEEEEEE
So they have actually done work on the Tower of Pisa to reduce the lean and keep it from leaning further. Evidently in the 90s they reduced the lean from 5.5 degrees to 3.97. And then in 2008 it was announced that the tower was stabilized for the first time in history, and for the next 200-ish years, the Tower's lean would not increase. Because while they don't want to remove the lean entirely, they do want to keep it from becoming The Fallen Tower of Pisa.

I heard from a college mate studying architecture that if you make anything basic they instantly give you an F. I think that's the problem.
In a world where "unique" is a common, a normal thing would be damp
You know what the majority of buildings are a variation of? A square or rectangle, you know why? Because it's easy to build and it's incredibly functional. Modern "architects" don't understand that.
@@CThyran but these modern "architects" still use same element of construction
*FUCKING. GLASS. AND STEEL.*
@@CThyran I mean they do still use triangles (not so much squares, much better to just halve it into two triangles structurally in most cases). They just make weirder shapes out tons of the triangles.
@@frds_skce I personally love a particular style of Japanese design where the emphasis lies on subtlety, they have the saying: understanding the light from the shadows. Then at the same time I can appreciate lots of different styles, even ones I think look stupid, makes the world less of a serious place.
As a resident Atlantan, it is my duty to inform you that the jumbotron is from "State Farm Arena", the basketball stadium, which is separate from "Mercedes-Benz Stadium", the football stadium. (though conveniently located right next door).
I expected better from the man casually proposing a $14 billion canal through the Australian Outback.
Fun fact: there is a 12 foot tall exact replica of the Washington monument in a small inground vault about 30 feet from the actual monument. It's called Benchmark A and is used by surveyors and the like.

They knew it was a misnomer from the start. They just needed it to sound classy - "music house" just doesn't have the same ring.

At university I had to read an essay by some supposedly important architecture people and the essay LITERALLY said that removing walls from houses and replacing the walls with a clear plastic mesh so that the house would look like a bubble was the right thing to do because seeing the bubble exterior flow with the wind would remind us of how the campfires would flow with the wind when we were cavemen. By having the connection between the flowing house and the flowing fires, we would be reconnected to our cavemen selves.

this is a true story:
i met a girl from the north of germany. went to visit her and she was living in one of those traditionally fetch roofed houses.
in the middle of the night we got woken up by weird sounds and lights and it turns out one of the neighbours houses with also the same traditional roofing caught on fire. actually it's quite dangerous since most houses in that area had this specific roofing and the cinder coming off of one house could light the others on fire as well. well anyways. firefighters showed up. things were taken care off.
next day news came in. nobody was hurt. family owning the house was on vacation. electrical fire :^)
That little Men at Work sting when you introduced the Sydney Opera House made me laugh until I broke a blood vessel in my eye and now I have to go to a job interview looking like a monster.

0:13 took me some time to realize this building was that weird block of glass that I used to pass by from the train station to my way to my old work. This is the ToHa towers in Tel Aviv, next to the train station. They are rather imposing when you walk next to them, just a huge bolder o steel and glass. It is most likely an HQ of some high tech company, all odd looking building in this area are.

On the Australia canal: There's been a similar plan that comes up in Parliament every decade or so for real consideration. The water comes from the other end of the continent though. It's called the Bradfield Scheme and while the original turned out to be not viable modern versions of the scheme are promising and fix essentially all the issues with the original proposal from almost a century ago. It's mostly a series of dams, canals and pipes redirecting fresh water from the tropical North East through the interior to Lake Eyre. Depending on who's doing the CBA you're looking at something like $15-20 billion for the project so your "estimation" isn't that far off the real world cost estimates. It's just folks in charge would rather irrigate with fresh water from North Queensland where it's flooded all the time rather than salt water from the Indian Ocean.
Environmental concerns have been raised but saving the lizards is a non-issue. The main problems with these inland canals in Australia face are evaporation and cost of construction. You need to buy and flood a lot of people's farms, build multiple, very large dams, dig canals big enough to fit a container ship in and even then the heat means that by the time you reach your destination the water's all evaporated anyway. There are workarounds with modern versions of the scheme (mostly involving making the canal bigger to carry more water) but because Queenslanders are the only people who want it they're probably never going to get the funding from Canberra.
shut up, nerd
@@_ikako_ smh I thought it was very interesting
@@hunterrocconi5026 butherd nerd
Could you not just like build a roof over the canal to stop the evaporation?
@@lovablesnowman indoor waterslide? wouldn't that still be susceptible to heat but make it like a thermos instead of just evaporation?
The Colosseum capacity was closer to 65k actually a massive stadium. Truly impressive.
I’ve been to falling waters a few times and it’s tiny af inside. It was made for a shorter family but it’s super cool. It has this cauldron that swings out from over the fire to over the floor in the living room, which def looks like an orgy room
I love this series of telling elaborate historical stories and then googling it and nope, turns out all of that was wrong.
Not all wrong, just sometimes a bit of context is missing. For example, everything described in the first story here did happen, he just made it sound like it was unfixable (or at least unfixed) and that it was the first building to do this.
