See the original version of this video with big boy words here: • Gömböc-The Shape That ...
.STL file for the Gömböc: www.thingiverse.com/thing:523643 - Наука та технологія
What video from my main channel should I do next? BTW this is the original video ua-cam.com/video/rvVF5QWSYF4/v-deo.html
uh oh some of those words were just tooooo big for some of us
Do the thing where it tells the thing. Things with numbers.
The antibubble video. 0:49 By the way, I don't think "1995" is among the 1,000 most frequently used words.
Maybe one of the good 'ol pressure chamber, maybe the Stretch Armstrong?
Yup
If a 5 year old was a super intelligent scientist but still had the vocabulary of a 5 year old 😂
If a very big brain doctor had the word use of a five year old
If you move your current surroundings and pay attention to your current vocabulary at the same time for many hrs, you're vocabulary intellect will be less existent. It's the other senses that move you.
Edit: And when it moves you, you'll know.
I feel like this is how Dexter's Lab would be in real life.
Great moving picture about things.
Do we get a second version using only words that we can't understand? 😁
No- but there might be a "Garrulously verbose videographic dissertation dorsally affixed to contemplation of eccentrically perturbed, polygonally faceted, of intermittent optically perceptual determination - apparent amorphously gelatinous plasmoidal interlopers of aerodynamically & submarinally indeterminate egress ingress re levitational & descensional methodologies but in lucent terminology altitudinally & horizontally translocational within a near contemporaneous Post-Babylonian empire, western superpower military overseer boundary "
If you want videos on 'Jellyfish' UFOs over a US army base in Iraq?
Words not part of the 10,000 most used words for the video would be great.
@@lightdark00he said 10-hundred.. that's a thousand.. not 10 thousand. Otherwise VIDEO, TURTLE, and others wouldn't have been "dumbed down".. moving picture? Lol
@@M23jsno he actually means not out of the 10,000 used words it’s obvious that this video uses the top 1,000
This is a perfect demonstration that overemphasizing accessibility can make something less accessible to everyone.
ya this was so rough hahahaha
Ngl, I dont get what set perfect mean to the end😂
Exactly, there *_are_* cases of unnecessary verbosity or general elitism, ("ah yes, the ludonarrative dissonance presents itself as a problem") but most terms are actually just common (and necessary) derivations to make communication easier. ("Falcon amd the Winter Soldier fails because it's metanarrative doesn't match with what is actually written", or, in other terms, the John Walker effect)
Woke niss
"If difficult noun, replace with 'thing'"
“It falls over onto the side where it can’t fall over anymore”
10/10 🥚/🍳
This was actually harder to understand using the common words then when you explain it in a more complicated way, lol.
Taking a shot every time he says “ fall over “ who’s with me ?
I'm taking a shot everytime he says thing. See you in the ER.
Yeah 😂
Or when he says "thing" or "things"
Don't do it or you will fall over.
I'd end up in the ER with alcohol poisoning 🤣
This is like me trying to explain the most basic stuff but I keep forgetting useful words 😂
Hilarious video
feels strange to listen to this right after finishing Orwell's 1984 with his idea of newspeak reducing language to bare minimum of words 🤔
Very confusing explanation.
Lol, yeah he was limited to the words he could use. 😂
Really? It's a pretty clear explanation to me. You must not have the mental capacity to get it🤷♂️
😂The thing with the thing on the thing that falls over.
I'll do a video using simpler words next time
@@ActionLabShorts😂😂😂 Great comeback!
me when i don’t fall over when i am set perfect 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I felt like I was having a stroke trying to understand this video, good job.
A perfect example of the benefits of having a large vocabulary. Using "simple" or common words doesn't always mean it will be easier to understand.
Interesting subject and method.
Sounds like reading the assembly instructions from my Amazon furniture order. Or a poorly translated direct marketing ad.
My head nearly fell over listening to this.
it didn't fall over because it was set perfect
@@scrungler_boinbus or is it at the place where it can't fall over anymore?
You know the thing
The guy who loves the numbers is in fact are, Gábor Domokos and Péter Várkonyi. They are the guys behind the gömböc.
those words aren't in the top thousand.. can I get a definition? Lol
This is hilarious!! I'm looking forward to the next one!!
That's what I thought! Hilarious!
Really shows how language is important to allow us to explore hard concepts.
Subjects would get 10x harder if not impossible sometimes if our vocab was that short.
That's is maybe why animals couldn't evolve like us as a society, not just a intelligence barrier, some of them are intelligent enough but they lack vocab to communicate and think of compelx concepts (also opposing thumbs and stuff.. Haha)
I forget where I first heard or read the following explanation, and I'm basically not even paraphrasing because I don't remember how it went, but:
When you're in a conversation, there are two needs that must be met: the speaker needs to communicate their message in the most concise way possible, and the receiver (could be someone hearing or reading) needs the message to be the as easily understandable as possible; mostly, this is because our brains can receive and interpret a message faster than our mouths can speak it or fingers can type it.
This leads to two general categories of words: complex, hyper-specific words that convey the speaker's intent in the most unambiguous way possible using the least amount of clarifying words, and simpler words that can be spoken and understood very quickly, but require more words.
But, if you use jargon that the receiver isn't familiar with you've completely lost the whole point of using that jargon to speed up the conversation. So, know your audience, and tailor your message to their level of familiarity, if possible!
Also, I hate using the phrase "most unambiguous" instead of "least ambiguous", but it conveys my better >:[
@@Catman_CM thats cool, never thought about how complex words are just a way of saying something specific using less words
Lesson of the video: Nature ALWAYS finds the solution, especially in life adaptations.
There're innumerous examples of shapes in Nature that use very sophisticated "designs"... This is one example of a very mathematically sophisticated shape, actually being used by nature by ages ❤
So this is a specific writing style called (obviously) constrained writing, and it’s super interesting. It’s primarily used in poetry, so doing it for science is super interesting. The person I bring up whenever this topic presents itself is Georges Perec, who wrote two lipograms (constraints limiting specific letters). One exclusively used words containing the letter e, and the other only used words that didn’t have the letter E. To top that, he wrote in French, so any translator has to follow the same constraints, and it’s a novel so it still has to read like a novel
Take a shot everytime he says "thing" XD
Was gonna say that too!!!
This is honestly more confusing than the original. I'm stuck in the 'fall over' matrix
“Thing and stuff” 😂 Most excellent, dude.
my wife falls over no mater what.
She probably read the comment regarding taking a shot every time he said thing
This was actually very entertaining and very informative 😂. Love it 😁
You made the 1000 most common words even more common
1:42 it's nice that with the most common words you can still do the subjunctive properly
It's weird how confusing using just common words can make something.
Me being confused the whole time: 'Yes I understand that perfectly'
The AI images and word limitations combined make it feel like I’m having a stroke
The fun was in the way it was explained. IMO! It made me think about something that i would not think much about 😊
I love it!
Please continue explaining things with these good words
Realizing “thousand” wasn’t on the list made me…. feel quite warm🤓
This is great, do more please! I thought it was hilarious. Maybe "How to Make Fuel Out of Trash" next?
Very clever I found it amusing
Ooo ooo! I'm having one of those thingies... You know, a headache with pictures...
An idea?
Yes that's it!
"The guy that likes numbers".... A mathematician! Dear Lord ahahahah
This was actually soooo hilarious😅
This is like that book that’s only uses 10,000 of the most common words to explain concepts! I forgot the name of the book
Thing explainer by Randall Munroe!
@@xkcloud I must add this to my library. Thanks!
It's 2 am and my brain is trying so hard to brain and the way he explains things here is just wtf 😂😂😂
WEEBLES WOBBLE BUT THEY DON'T FALL DOWN!
goes to show how important nuance in language can be.
I was mesmerised watching this .
This is like me when I’m giving a presentation in class and I forget the right words
What my ears hear:
This thing has one spot where it doesn’t fall over and does fall over. When it falls over it goes and doesn’t fall over and then does.
this is awesome, it's like reading a book with huge font but make it video
sorry, I meant moving picture
It’s called a Gömböc
me trying to explain literally anything that i actually know about:
Great explanation, takes concentration but I get it
I love how many sentence things you use that have the word things. I think if you get that thing a little bit better you can teach science to my meemaw
Well, that guy in 1995 never saw my Manfrotto tripod 😂
The three legs that make it perfectly stay standing are less than 4, and it has never fallen over yet.
The first step towards newspeak 😂
The cool thing about this moving picture is how the guy who likes things says the thing and doesn’t say the thing.
Good use if small vocabulary.... Brain numb now 🤣 Good Stuff Boss 👍😂
That was awesome 👍👍👏😂do it again 😀
Newton will be surprised, knowing there's a lot more to things and apples than just falling.
Thx for the video!
I like normal English, James 😅
It's like, too many words to say something that's already obvious half sentence before 😂
This is an experiment, of course, but I like your own perfect mind-blowing explanations! 🤯
Now my head hurts.
So literally explaining like a five year old. But it actually works
What is more confusing is that he upploaded an almost 4 minute video on his shorts Chanel and a shorts video on his normal channel
If only had a teacher like this when I was younger I would have better words to talk about things.
Normal person: one thousand
This guy: ten hundred
Love the ten hundred thing!
Interesting.
When you tell the teacher you still don't understand and they try simplify it like
New approach 🎉🎉🎉
Ya wah 🙃
Somehow think I got there in the end but was definitely wondering aimlessly in the fog for most of it
If you were to sculpt this shape out of solid rock would the rock wiggle around and pop up?
Can you electrify bubbles. Curious of input current and output current through bubble can they store energy?????
ouch my head... LOL
Bro weebles wobble but won’t fall down!! 😂
I don't know what the words "fall" "over" and "thing" mean anymore. Mission accomplished?
this is just funny lmao
Bowling pins should be on the list. They never fall over.
Can you explore magnetic (or electromagnetic) gears for transmissions?!
I feel like it was 6 words rearranged 300 times into an explanation as to why things fall over
You can have functional with only 100 words? I'll learn the 100 most common words from every language then! (plus grammar and phonetics)... This reminds me of the paper "Growing a Language." In that paper every word with more than one syllable has to be defined prior to use.
That's quite a THING
Lol but why did I understand this perfectly.
This is so cool but confusing 😂😄
I am going to have nightmares about the word ‘thing’! That’s what I’m thingking 😬
2:12 "But the cool thing about this thing is that this is the same stuff throughout the whole thing"
Honestly I'm having a hard time figuring out if this is supposed to be a joke or not.
If it's not a joke, using more descriptive words would make this so much easier to understand.
It’s a challenge to make a video using only the 1000 (?) most common words. I think he has a normal version of this video somewhere. Search “action lab gomboc”
Listening to this hurt my brain!!
Gyro thing, computer thing, processor thing, calculus thing, physics thing, life thing. . . . . .
Here we are thing
I think the problem is not what words you use, but how. If you use a more specific word each greater logical unit, I think viewers that are not accustomed are still able to get it's meaning, while feeling good about making the connection and therefore keeping engaged.
Btw, I am no native speaker of English but I prefer more complex language, as my ADHD makes it boring otherwise. So maybe this is more of a personal (or ADHD?) point of view. Any opinion on this? ☺️
Gömböc a király!😊
I cant wait to show my dumb physics class mates!
as a gal who likes numbers this made perfect sense thank you
Take a shot every time he says “thing”
Mathematician= guy who likes numbers
That's what she said
The word you are looking for is "Turtle."
I love this but even simple words get confusing when you repeat them a lot. Haha. That being said it removes the intimidation factor of jargon.
Have you thought about 3D printing some of these and selling them? When I look for them on Amazon, I see that they’re anywhere from 160 to several hundred dollars for some reason. Can’t a guy just buy a cheap gomboc these days?
Just saw this.
