Six Flags originated in Texas. The name refers to the 6 flags that Texas has been under in its history: France, Spain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederate State of Texas, and the United States.
Thank you. As a Texan I was just jumping with my hand in the air. I always loved Texas history. The (shady) origins and expertise of the Texas Rangers is particularly interesting.
@@ollylevesque3404 : Texas was not under the Republic of the Rio Grande. That entity was a rebellion that was put down after not quite a year by Santa Anna. The area of that 'republic' consisted of mostly northeastern Mexico and a small part of what is now southern Texas.
The reason behind the age of 21 is simple really. Unlike Europe, most Americans drive everywhere they go. The majority of Americans have never been on a subway or any form of public transportation. So, they made the choice, raise the drinking age so that it minimizes the number of new drivers dying from drunk driving accidents. In Europe, cities are much more capable of getting around without driving. BTW: We drive when we're fourteen if we have a permit and an adult in the car...or if we have a school permit. Again, that's because America is so spread out and there is SOOOO much rural area - not including that they don't require driver's licenses or a minimum age to drive farm equipment (tractor)
No...theres a lot of dumb reason why there was a drinking age set in the first place after the prohibition, the idea was if they banned kids and teens from drinking they would not start drinking later on...which as we know if you try to stop kids or teens from doing something, they want to do it even more. Back in 1984 they manged to use some wackjobs research by the name of Suzette Glasner-Edwards to increase the drinking age to 21 and states that failed to increase their ages to 21 would not receive highway funding. ....You can drink under the age of 21 in private in like half of the states
During World War 2, there were only 48 states in the US. The stars were perfectly aligned back then. When Alaska and Hawaii joined as states in 1959, two more stars were added and the stars are staggered on the flag. In the movie JOJO RABBIT, there was a movie mistake, In one scene, they showed an American flag with 50 stars but the problem was the movie takes place during WW2. The US only had 48 states back then.
If you look at the history of the US flag you'll see that most of the designs are simply rows of stars - so, at a glance, would likely look like the modern flag. Only a handful of times did it incorporate a circular design for the stars. A a couple of times did they design it in the shape of a larger star.
@@aaronpugh1397 In the movie, JOJO RABBIT, the American flag seen in the movie was definitely a modern flag with 50 stars. The film crew were probably non-Americans.
@@rukus9585 He's not entirely right though. A traditional British billion has 12 zeros, although the US's large influence on the world has swayed them towards a US billion which has 9 zeros. I'm not British, so I can't say how popular either way is there.
When the narrator says “mobile home” I think that is including permanent dwellings that people in the US also call trailers. Trailers are parked on a piece of land, and can be rented or owned. They aren’t typically moved unless the owners acquire a new piece of land etc. Some can be assembled from more than one piece, and can be 1,500+ sq feet.
The drinking age is just the opposite in the U.S.... it used to be 18. They raised it to 21 in the 90's. There were a lot of drunk driving deaths of teenagers before the age was raised. Each state has their own law, but the federal government threatened to withhold federal funding to each state unless they raised the age to 21. Louisiana was the last holdout, but even they caved.
The drunk driving deaths were a lie made up by some crazy UCLA nut back in the 70s and it was changed in 1984, drinking age is not about stop drunk drivers its about stopping kids and teens from drinking in hopes they never start. In over half the states you can drink under 21 legally, even at parties
I’m from the US but you UK guys have brought me so much happiness and laughs. I never met you but just know u helped me through a lot. I’m on my way out but just wanted too let you guys know you doing more then you know for a lot of people
The 20 million living in "mobile" homes includes those living in manufactured houses that are built and delivered on a metal frame with axles and wheels. Then they remove the wheels and put the home on the slab the home owner arranged, or on cement blocks, with power and sewer hookups pre-plumbed. A lot are "double-wides," which is two halves of a house, each on it's own trailer and able to be moved by road, connected on site. Some cost well over $100K. It's popular in the US South, where it doesn't get as cold in winter. It's cheaper than traditional stick built on site construction, because it's performed indoors in a factory, production line setting.
Yeah.. Mobile homes are not cheap, most people are spending well over 100k for one and that is just the home, not the land and all the other expenses. They were a massive hit back in the like 40s-70s because it allowed people to slap a home in their dream location in a week no matter if it was in the middle of nowhere in the mountains, on a beach, by a lake, or heck in Vegas. The problem is they are like vehicles, the moment you buy a new one it loses 20%-30% of its value and will keep losing it over the years, along with how they are made they deteriorate faster and require more maintenance, something that is not worth doing to the home, and so after 20-30 years that 120k mobile home is now worth 2k-10k and is ran down.
The film showing at that theatre was “Dumb Girl of Portici”, a 1916 film. “Dumb” referred to the fact that the girl could not talk, and was not a comment on her level of intelligence. :)
The idea of giving the president a good salary was to elevate them above the need to borrow money and be under a third party interest, influence, or be tempted to be bribed. (lol)
Daz ... the Six Flags theme park derives its name from its first property, Six Flags Over Texas. The name "Six Flags Over Texas" refers to the flags of the six different nations that have governed Texas: Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the United States of America and the Confederate States of America.
With #33 I wonder if that's where they came up with the name for that place the survivors went to in the Walking Dead tv show which was filmed in Atlanta
18:18 Mike's face is perfect, seeing him calculate and being 100x off has me rolling, nothing but love though 8billion / 350million = 22.85 pieces of chicken per American per year, which seems about right - a little bit low to be fair.
Since turning 21 and seeing how many people drink 2 or 3 if not more beers and drive home, I understand the logic of not allowing 16 year olds to drink. In Europe with access to public transportation it’s a little more logical to expect people to use that public transport but in the US it’s not reasonable to have that expectation. Therefore the idea of giving 16 year olds car and alcohol would be the end of the country….
Yet in many states you can drink at 16, or under 21, even at a "party" The 21 rule was a result of some nutcases research and helped pass the National Minimum Drinking Age Act. The real reason as was always to ban alcohol, because if kids and teens cant buy it or drink it in public they wont want to later on right lol
@@Kirinketsu_ 1/3 of traffic related deaths are from drunk drivers. Over a million DUIs a year. It’s not to punish the millions of people who are responsible, it’s to protect them from the tens of millions more who aren’t.
@@aj897 yeah the drinking rule isn’t really enforced anyways, only when driving and at public establishments. When I was younger and was at parties many times cops came and it was usually because of the noise not necessarily the drinking.
I don't live in one but there are some beautiful mobile homes I've seen people show online, you can rent the land and have a huge backyard. They're technically cheaper than owning a home and surprisingly spacious.
Six Flags is named so because it was founded in Texas and Texas had six different flags in its history: Spain (1519-1685 & 1690-1821), France (1684-1690 &1800-1803), Mexico (1821-1835), Republic of Texas (1836-1845), US State of Texas (1845-1861 &1865-present), Confederate State of Texas (1861-1865)
About the # of presidents: Grover Cleveland's two terms are counted separately since they were non consecutive. Therefore we call him the 22nd and 24th president. The US Mint made two different coins for him. So currently, Biden is the 46th president but 45 men (including him) have held the office. Washington served as President from 1789 to 1793. We didn't have an actual president of the United States until 1789.
One of Six Flags' unique aspects was that it wasn't just a random collection of rides; it was developed around a theme: the history of Texas. The park's name was a nod to the six flags that had flown over the state at various times-France, Spain, Mexico, the Confederacy, Texas and the United States.
I worked in elementary schools in four states. Most of them had around 200 students and maybe 60 supporting staff. Those schools in all four of the states where I work served some kind of chicken every single day for the students. It was what we call popcorn chicken which is just bite-sized pieces of chicken in a salad or popcorn chicken as an entree or a chicken sandwich. Every single day for 185 school days every year times however many schools are in each City. Medium sized cities might have a dozen elementary schools six middle schools and three high schools or more. the same thing in middle schools and high schools. That's a whole lot of chicken . Also, kids get free breakfast at schools in our country and a chicken biscuit would be on the menu many days for breakfast and often some kind of chicken a couple of days a week for breakfast. .
Also: The “Dumb Girl of Portici” is about “A poor Italian woman's (Anna Pavlova) affair with a disguised Spanish nobleman triggers a revolution. Release date: April 3, 1916 (USA)” -IMDB
The alcohol thing in the US is complicated. It used to be that neighboring states had different ages which encouraged kids to drive to the neighbor with a lower age, get gassed, then drive back drunk resulting in alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths. The raising of the age has resulted in fewer alcohol-related deaths among teenagers--a damned good thing and well worth it.
drinking age was raised because of the staggering number of deaths from teens drinking and driving. people drive everywhere here and there is a distinct lack of public transportation in most of the US.
This is Dunnski out of DC. I love you guys! I do have british/American dual nationality. I've spent most of my life in the USA. However, i am a lifelong Manchester United fan, and I travel back to England often to see my mother, brother, and friends. And of course, to go to Old Trafford. I would love to have a beer with you guys!
Actually, no stars were removed from the US flag during the American Civil War. It only gained three stars to represent the three states that joined the Union during the war: Kansas (1861), West Virginia (1863), and Nevada (1864). We didn't remove any stars because the CSA was not a legally sovereign state.
I used to work at Six Flags in NJ when I was in High School and we were always told the flags represented the 6 major themes of the park which were themed after the cultures of the countries they represented. We took the flag handling very seriously and had to attend a training on how to properly fold a flag, to take it very seriously to never let any of them touch the ground out of respect to the countries they represented, etc. I'm only 5'4" so it was a total pain in the butt to have to take down and fold the flags on my own without letting it touch the ground because they were very large.
Ummm... maybe they told you that because it was New Jersey 😂😂😂 6 flags was founded in Texas and it represented the 6 flags that had flown over the state in it's history: France, Mexico, Spain, Confederate state of Texas, The Republic of Texas, and United States. But yes the 6 themes were themes after those 6 different "cultures" as well.
@@alexanderthegreat5649 I'm aware that it was founded in Texas and that those flags originally were chosen for the reasons you stated. I didn't mention that part because I was explaining why they said we should give them such huge respect and figured the other part was common knowledge about Six Flags. Thanks for the comment though. I should have included that. ❤
In Texas you can get your drivers permit at 15, license at 16. The permit allows you to drive as long as someone 21+ is in the car. It’s really for learners. But I had it at 15 and have driven since
Many Americans are taught gun safety and how to shoot a firearm well before they are old enough to purchase a firearm. My 1st lesson in gun safety and target practice with a .38 Special happened on my 5th birthday. My husband was taught gun safety and how to shoot at 6 yrs old.
Yeah, then they still shoot themselves in the face or magically their small children get a hold of the gun anyway. I'm sure the lobbyist playing golf with Dick Cheney probably said he was taught gun safety too...right before he gave Cheney a faceful of buckshot.
@@ajschroetlin2196 I come from a generation where my Grandfathers served in the military during WWII. My father, 3 Uncles and stepfather all served in the military during Vietnam. All kept handguns in their houses for self defense. I was taught about gun safety and to have the mindset that all guns are loaded. I was also taught to never touch any guns without my parents or Aunts/Uncles supervising UNLESS my life or family members life was in danger of a deadly threat. I was taught to never point a gun at someone unless I intended to shoot and kill them in self defense or defense of a family member. My Mother at age 13, saved her Mother's life and her unborn sister's life using a handgun to protect them and herself. She held her step-father at gun point until the police arrived and locked him up.
The 48 star flag (Old Glory) during WWII looks almost identical to the current flag unless you look at the rows of stars. The current flag has 5 rows of 6 stars and 4 rows of 5, where as the 48 star flag had 6 rows of 8 stars.
It's 22.8 or roughly 23 chickens consumed per person per year. That number seems adequate I would think and may actually have been on the rise since the pandemic and now with inflation. Chicken costs less than beef and pork, but still puts meat on the table.
Prior to 1987, states had the right to set the drinking age, and many were either 18 or 19. In '87, the federal government told all the states that they had to raise the age to 21, or forfeit all of the federal money they get, for road construction/maintenance.
Yep. The Federal Government held highway funds hostage to get states to comply. Perhaps we should try that again with raising the age to buy an AR-15 and other such rifles.
@@hedonista7593 All rifles combined account for around 500 deaths in a bad year. Any laws concerning them is nothing more than bullshit politics designed to make people feel better but does nothing to tackle gun violence when you factor in the 20k homicides occurring. Even the mass shooting numbers will hardly change considering handguns are used in the vast majority of them.
@@riddikk187 I don't think that's true. 1) public mass shootings have a psychology all their own, and they tend to use that type of rifle. The NY Subway shooter had a handgun and failed to kill anyone. 2) Handguns are absolutely used in the vast majority of non-public mass shootings, and are tied in no small way to domestic violence. Close the boy friend loophole on gun ownership, and don't allow anyone with a DV conviction to own a gun. 3) Suicides account for 50% of gun deaths, and is a problem with access to handguns that should be monitored and dealt with using red flag laws. Each of these situations has a unique cause and a unique remedy, and pretending that globalized statistics like yours show us anything worth knowing is ridiculous. Trying to reduce this down to "it's just politics" with 19 dead 4th graders makes you look like a do-nothing dick.
@@hedonista7593 LOL nutcase detected. The drunk driving death crap was all lies by an UCLA nut back in the 70s, and most of the deaths she quoted were kids and teens in the vehicle being hit. Drinking age has always been about outright stopping people from drinking in hopes a kid or teen never has the chance to start drinking because they are not allowed to buy alcohol and could only drink if their parents gave it to them in the states that allow them to drink.... Over half of the States allow you to drink under the age of 21 with parental consent in private. Did you know in most States a 15 year old can legally walk about with a gun, they can even own the gun and many do, where I live most teens 13+ have a shotgun, .22, .243, .270, .308, or even the much weak .223 "AR-15" hanging on their walls or in a gun cabinet. Please stop being a brain dead puppet ....even if they made the age to buy 21, a parent can still buy the rifle and legally give it to their child.
@@hedonista7593 The problem is, the U.S. Constitution's Twenty-First Amendment gives great leeway to States regarding alcohol (minimum age, or even outright prohibition) but both State and Federal Governments are constrained by the Second Amendment regarding arms. After Prohibition was repealed, the standard drinking age in every state was 21, but in the liberalization of the 1970s (the old "If kids are old enough to fight and die in Vietnam, why aren't they old enough to drink?" argument) many States lowered the drinking age to 18...some for all alcohol, others for just beer and wine...but the zooming rates of college-age drinking and drunk driving fatalities forced them to go back up to 21 by the mid-1980s.
Now, not only are you restricted from drinking until 21, you can't legally purchase tobacco or vape products until you're 21 either. But you can buy a firearm at 18 and also be drafted if needed in war and possibly die in said war if you're 18 and male.
In British English, a billion used to be equivalent to a million million (i.e. 1,000,000,000,000), while in American English it has always equated to a thousand million (i.e. 1,000,000,000)
Its about 27 chickens per person statistically. Realistically its probably 100 per person, and the surplus of the other 73 chickens come from people who are vegan or homeless.
Six flags refers to six flags over Texas. The countries who have controlled the US before it became a state in 1845. Mexico, Spain, France, the Republic of Texas, the Confederacy and the United States.
Well in some places like Texas if you are married and your spouse is of age you can drink, or if you are at a bar or restaurant with your parents or legal guardian you can consume alcohol. Also tho underage drinking happens a lot, as a former teenager alot of us knew the places that would sell to minors
Ok, I've noticed it in shows from the UK and the UK dude in the video did it too, but not everyone there says maths I have heard plenty from the UK say math 😋
We can't legally drink in this country until 21, however I would venture to say many of us learn earlier from our parents. My dad taught my brother and I, this way when you turned 21 you didn't go crazy and could handle it. Obtaining a driver's license in the U.S. is nothing like it is in the U.K., so I don't think anyone would argue it's a bad idea to have a young driver wait before they can drink. The last thing we need is a drunk teenager behind the wheel of a car that can easily be accidentally weaponized.
You can drink under 21 in over half the states, its sad how many people dont know this...its like how you can own a rifle even handguns at 15 in many states and many teens do
Alaska n Hawaii wasn’t a state. Each star represents a state so everytime a state was added a new flag had to be designed. They held a contest in schools for Hawaii n Alaska addition flag I believe
You can get a driving license at 16 but you actually start driving before then, at 15 but you are supervised. You have to be 18 to own a rifle or shotgun and 21 to own a pistol. However, usually they have access to a gun before then and the family member is the "owner" until they are legal to transfer the firearm to. That's pretty typical in families. While its technically illegal to drink before 21, many still do and they get friends to buy alcohol for the. Its illegal to do that, but still happens.
You can own a rifle, shotgun, and handgun under 18, you can legally have one in public for hunting, without an "adult" at 15 in most states and own one at like 13 in some states, age to buy is not age to possess. You can also drink under 21 legally in private in over half the states, again age to buy is not age of possession or consumption.
@@Kirinketsu_ No, you cannot legally own a firearm and be under 18. That's completely wrong. The parent or adult is the legal owner, and they can temporarily transfer a firearm (i.e. let them borrow it) for them to use for shoot or hunt for that day, but the child is still not the legal owner. The under 21 drinking in private is with parental consent for most states.
6 Flags amusement park was founded in Texas. Texas was under 6 different flags in its history (US, Confederacy, Mexican, Spanish, Republic of Texas, & France)
The reason for the ID check is because by law if they don't the ATF will run up in the store then they arrest the person who sold the tobacco or drink, then they fine the company so bad to where if youre just a local business youve got to declare bankruptcy. Also its not really common practice because I've seen hundreds of thousands of people not get ID unless you look young cause I'm 31 but they still check my ID.
Six Flags refers to the countries Spain, Mexico, France, the Republic of Texas, the United States, and the confederate states of America that all governed over Texas at one point in history. Texas is where six flags originated from.
Christmas wasn’t widely celebrated in the early US, but it was never illegal. That would be unconstitutional anyway. It was recognized as a federal holiday in 1870, but was not illegal before then. That’s a ridiculous myth and really lazy fact checking by the creator.
It was during colonial days, thanks to Puritan lawmakers. But you're right that it never has been illegal during the time the US has been its own country.
Hemp to make rope, sailcloth,and paper contained no THC,therefore no one was getting high from it.they make fun of george washington but he was not a pot head,the crop was an important one in the colonial era and into the republic.
The reason why the gun age is 18 is because how can the government expect men to sign up for the draft or men and women voluntarily sign up to join the military if they can't even legally own a gun at 18? Having said all that, I think the legal age to drink alcohol should be changed back to 18 year Olds if they are also expected to sign up for a military draft.
You can have a gun under 18 in many states, at the age of 13 legally, as in it can be kept in your room, at 15 you can take the gun into public, usually this is limited to with the intent of going hunting or range shooting. The legal drinking age was never 18, each state had their own laws and still do, age to buy is not age of possession, you have to be 21 to buy, possess, and drink in public spaces, over half the states still have their old drinking age laws in place, and you can drink under 21 in most states in private, in at parties.
@@Kirinketsu_ the legal age to drink back in the 1970's was at 18 or atleast in the state I live in it was but in 1984 it went up to age 21 nationally.
And one more comment about.... chickens. When you think about the size of the USA there are many of us who don't have easy access to seafood. Fresh seafood everyday is just not an option. I live in Tennessee we have lakes so we have access to freshwater fish, but seafood has to be shipped to us. The Gulf of Mexico is a good 600 mi from where I live. Beef is expensive to raise and it takes a lot of land. Chickens don't take much land, you can raise chickens in your backyard I have friends I work with who do this They live in a small rural town and they raise their own chickens . But you're even allowed to raise chickens in your yard if you live in the city limits of Nashville like I do depending on what part of the city you're in. Then you have fresh eggs everyday and chickens to eat when you choose. If we lived on an island surrounded by ocean water and had very little land for beef cattle we'd probably eat more fish.
18 was the legal drinking age in Minnesota till 1980 when I turned 18, but the Federal Government refused highway funds to the states that didn't raise the drinking age to 21 (very messed up) I turned 18 in March 1980 and new laws in Minnesota start in July, so I could drink at 18, but my friend who's birthday was in September had to wait till he turned 21, there was lots of pissed off people! the Fed's love to lord it over the states
After driving through there a couple months ago I can assure you those funds never did end up arriving. Never seen potholes so big you will fall into up to your waist.

It is a bit strange that a 14-year-old can get a driver’s permit in Arkansas which means they can drive with an adult who has a license, and at age 16, their permit becomes a driver’s license but in the state of Missouri, which borders the north side of Arkansas, you have to be 15 to get a permit to drive. Anyone 18 and older can buy and carry (in most states) a handgun (pistol) but all hunters who were born after December 31st, 1968 and who are 16 years of age or older, are required to complete a state-approved Hunter Education Course to hunt within the state of Arkansas. There is no minimum age to get certified. BUT, you must be 21 to buy a beer!! I think it’s weird that we can send our 18-year-old sons off to war but they can’t drink a beer until they’re 21….at least not here in the states. I guess if they were training in Europe, they would be legal to drink at 18?? But that’s America for ya and I love the USA and am proud to be an American. Unfortunately I’m scared of guns and don’t like alcohol! Lol!! Oh and you have to be 21 to buy a pack of cigarettes as of 12/2019! So, to wrap it up, in Arkansas, you can hunt with a rifle at any age, at age 14, you can get a driver’s permit and drive with your parents or anyone with a license and get a regular driver’s license at 16. At age 18, you can buy a rifle or a handgun (in most states), vote, and go into the military but you must be 21 to have a beer! You can also get an abortion without consent from a parent at the age of 18 but have to wait on that beer until you’re 21! 😂. Sorry this is so long but I’m super tired and need a beer! 😂😉. And yea, I’m over 21…..WAY OVER 21!!! Thanks, guys!
I feel like the chickens stat is based soley on the number of chickens processed annually. It probably includes any food products that have some sort of chicken biproduct and animal foods like dog food that utilize chicken. Thats the only way i can wrap my head around that number lol.
No it is not named after the 6 flags on Google here is what Google says..... Throngs flocked to Six Flags Over Texas when the park opened in 1961. Six themed sections, modeled after the culture of the six countries whose flags flew over Texas during the state's colorful history, created a spectacular and magical setting for guests - and provided the park's name.
Six Flags originated in Texas. The name refers to the 6 flags that Texas has been under in its history: France, Spain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederate State of Texas, and the United States.

When the narrator says “mobile home” I think that is including permanent dwellings that people in the US also call trailers. Trailers are parked on a piece of land, and can be rented or owned. They aren’t typically moved unless the owners acquire a new piece of land etc. Some can be assembled from more than one piece, and can be 1,500+ sq feet.
The drinking age is just the opposite in the U.S.... it used to be 18. They raised it to 21 in the 90's. There were a lot of drunk driving deaths of teenagers before the age was raised. Each state has their own law, but the federal government threatened to withhold federal funding to each state unless they raised the age to 21. Louisiana was the last holdout, but even they caved.
The drunk driving deaths were a lie made up by some crazy UCLA nut back in the 70s and it was changed in 1984, drinking age is not about stop drunk drivers its about stopping kids and teens from drinking in hopes they never start.
In over half the states you can drink under 21 legally, even at parties
I’m from the US but you UK guys have brought me so much happiness and laughs. I never met you but just know u helped me through a lot. I’m on my way out but just wanted too let you guys know you doing more then you know for a lot of people
Strongly agree
That’s really nice to hear. If just one then it’s all been worthy. Cheers 💙

The 20 million living in "mobile" homes includes those living in manufactured houses that are built and delivered on a metal frame with axles and wheels. Then they remove the wheels and put the home on the slab the home owner arranged, or on cement blocks, with power and sewer hookups pre-plumbed. A lot are "double-wides," which is two halves of a house, each on it's own trailer and able to be moved by road, connected on site. Some cost well over $100K. It's popular in the US South, where it doesn't get as cold in winter. It's cheaper than traditional stick built on site construction, because it's performed indoors in a factory, production line setting.
Yeah.. Mobile homes are not cheap, most people are spending well over 100k for one and that is just the home, not the land and all the other expenses.
They were a massive hit back in the like 40s-70s because it allowed people to slap a home in their dream location in a week no matter if it was in the middle of nowhere in the mountains, on a beach, by a lake, or heck in Vegas.
The problem is they are like vehicles, the moment you buy a new one it loses 20%-30% of its value and will keep losing it over the years, along with how they are made they deteriorate faster and require more maintenance, something that is not worth doing to the home, and so after 20-30 years that 120k mobile home is now worth 2k-10k and is ran down.
The film showing at that theatre was “Dumb Girl of Portici”, a 1916 film. “Dumb” referred to the fact that the girl could not talk, and was not a comment on her level of intelligence. :)
You don't have to be 18 to fire a gun, only to purchase one. You can fire a gun at literally any age, with parental supervision.
The movie is called, The Dumb Girl of Portici. it is a 1916 American silent historical drama film
The idea of giving the president a good salary was to elevate them above the need to borrow money and be under a third party interest, influence, or be tempted to be bribed. (lol)
Daz ... the Six Flags theme park derives its name from its first property, Six Flags Over Texas. The name "Six Flags Over Texas" refers to the flags of the six different nations that have governed Texas: Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the United States of America and the Confederate States of America.
To clarify ... when I typed this comment, UA-cam wasn't showing me that there were already Six Responses to this question.
@@beverly.alford Comments help them anyway. The more we comment, the more it trends. That one flag is a bit awkward....
@@Tijuanabill Good point ...thanks! As for that "one flag" ... they're all a part of a rich history, from which we learn. Be blessed, friend!
With #33 I wonder if that's where they came up with the name for that place the survivors went to in the Walking Dead tv show which was filmed in Atlanta

8billion / 350million = 22.85 pieces of chicken per American per year, which seems about right - a little bit low to be fair.
To be fair, it said chickens whole, not pieces. So, 22 chickens per person. That seems about right.
he was 10x off, but i know, math is hard. haha
Since turning 21 and seeing how many people drink 2 or 3 if not more beers and drive home, I understand the logic of not allowing 16 year olds to drink. In Europe with access to public transportation it’s a little more logical to expect people to use that public transport but in the US it’s not reasonable to have that expectation. Therefore the idea of giving 16 year olds car and alcohol would be the end of the country….
Think about all the HS parties where they're now legally allowed to drink...... DUIs would shoot through the roof
Yet in many states you can drink at 16, or under 21, even at a "party"
The 21 rule was a result of some nutcases research and helped pass the National Minimum Drinking Age Act.
The real reason as was always to ban alcohol, because if kids and teens cant buy it or drink it in public they wont want to later on right lol
@@Kirinketsu_ 1/3 of traffic related deaths are from drunk drivers. Over a million DUIs a year. It’s not to punish the millions of people who are responsible, it’s to protect them from the tens of millions more who aren’t.
@@aj897 yeah the drinking rule isn’t really enforced anyways, only when driving and at public establishments. When I was younger and was at parties many times cops came and it was usually because of the noise not necessarily the drinking.
I don't live in one but there are some beautiful mobile homes I've seen people show online, you can rent the land and have a huge backyard. They're technically cheaper than owning a home and surprisingly spacious.
Six Flags is named so because it was founded in Texas and Texas had six different flags in its history: Spain (1519-1685 & 1690-1821), France (1684-1690 &1800-1803), Mexico (1821-1835), Republic of Texas (1836-1845), US State of Texas (1845-1861 &1865-present), Confederate State of Texas (1861-1865)
About the # of presidents: Grover Cleveland's two terms are counted separately since they were non consecutive. Therefore we call him the 22nd and 24th president. The US Mint made two different coins for him. So currently, Biden is the 46th president but 45 men (including him) have held the office. Washington served as President from 1789 to 1793. We didn't have an actual president of the United States until 1789.
One of Six Flags' unique aspects was that it wasn't just a random collection of rides; it was developed around a theme: the history of Texas. The park's name was a nod to the six flags that had flown over the state at various times-France, Spain, Mexico, the Confederacy, Texas and the United States.
I worked in elementary schools in four states. Most of them had around 200 students and maybe 60 supporting staff. Those schools in all four of the states where I work served some kind of chicken every single day for the students.
It was what we call popcorn chicken which is just bite-sized pieces of chicken in a salad or popcorn chicken as an entree or a chicken sandwich. Every single day for 185 school days every year times however many schools are in each City.
Medium sized cities might have a dozen elementary schools six middle schools and three high schools or more. the same thing in middle schools and high schools. That's a whole lot of chicken . Also, kids get free breakfast at schools in our country and a chicken biscuit would be on the menu many days for breakfast and often some kind of chicken a couple of days a week for breakfast. .
Also: The “Dumb Girl of Portici” is about “A poor Italian woman's (Anna Pavlova) affair with a disguised Spanish nobleman triggers a revolution.
Release date: April 3, 1916 (USA)” -IMDB
8 billion chickens divided by 350 million = 22.857 chickens per person per year. You're soooo welcome!
The alcohol thing in the US is complicated. It used to be that neighboring states had different ages which encouraged kids to drive to the neighbor with a lower age, get gassed, then drive back drunk resulting in alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths. The raising of the age has resulted in fewer alcohol-related deaths among teenagers--a damned good thing and well worth it.
Six Flags refers to the six different flags the company's home state of Texas has flown.
1776 was the declaration, still had to fight a war, half the country was British.
drinking age was raised because of the staggering number of deaths from teens drinking and driving. people drive everywhere here and there is a distinct lack of public transportation in most of the US.
About drinking, you have to be 21 to buy but in most states you can actually drink at any age.
This is Dunnski out of DC. I love you guys! I do have british/American dual nationality. I've spent most of my life in the USA.

Oi mate I reckon bloke Dave has never left jolly old England innit 😭😂😂😂😂
Actually, no stars were removed from the US flag during the American Civil War. It only gained three stars to represent the three states that joined the Union during the war: Kansas (1861), West Virginia (1863), and Nevada (1864). We didn't remove any stars because the CSA was not a legally sovereign state.
Yes it was. The US just didn't agree.
Thiiiiick Chiiiiick Diiiiicks
That’s like saying Taiwan isn’t independent because DC lol
I used to work at Six Flags in NJ when I was in High School and we were always told the flags represented the 6 major themes of the park which were themed after the cultures of the countries they represented. We took the flag handling very seriously and had to attend a training on how to properly fold a flag, to take it very seriously to never let any of them touch the ground out of respect to the countries they represented, etc. I'm only 5'4" so it was a total pain in the butt to have to take down and fold the flags on my own without letting it touch the ground because they were very large.
Ummm... maybe they told you that because it was New Jersey 😂😂😂
6 flags was founded in Texas and it represented the 6 flags that had flown over the state in it's history: France, Mexico, Spain, Confederate state of Texas, The Republic of Texas, and United States. But yes the 6 themes were themes after those 6 different "cultures" as well.
@@alexanderthegreat5649 I'm aware that it was founded in Texas and that those flags originally were chosen for the reasons you stated. I didn't mention that part because I was explaining why they said we should give them such huge respect and figured the other part was common knowledge about Six Flags. Thanks for the comment though. I should have included that. ❤
In Texas you can get your drivers permit at 15, license at 16. The permit allows you to drive as long as someone 21+ is in the car. It’s really for learners. But I had it at 15 and have driven since
Many Americans are taught gun safety and how to shoot a firearm well before they are old enough to purchase a firearm. My 1st lesson in gun safety and target practice with a .38 Special happened on my 5th birthday. My husband was taught gun safety and how to shoot at 6 yrs old.
Yeah, then they still shoot themselves in the face or magically their small children get a hold of the gun anyway. I'm sure the lobbyist playing golf with Dick Cheney probably said he was taught gun safety too...right before he gave Cheney a faceful of buckshot.
You must be older. When more people lived in the country. Hunter safety, which is what it was called when I was young, is rarely taught these days.
@@ajschroetlin2196 I come from a generation where my Grandfathers served in the military during WWII. My father, 3 Uncles and stepfather all served in the military during Vietnam. All kept handguns in their houses for self defense. I was taught about gun safety and to have the mindset that all guns are loaded. I was also taught to never touch any guns without my parents or Aunts/Uncles supervising UNLESS my life or family members life was in danger of a deadly threat. I was taught to never point a gun at someone unless I intended to shoot and kill them in self defense or defense of a family member. My Mother at age 13, saved her Mother's life and her unborn sister's life using a handgun to protect them and herself. She held her step-father at gun point until the police arrived and locked him up.
The Drinking age in Canada is 19, except Alberta, Manitoba & Quebec, which is 18.
The 48 star flag (Old Glory) during WWII looks almost identical to the current flag unless you look at the rows of stars. The current flag has 5 rows of 6 stars and 4 rows of 5, where as the 48 star flag had 6 rows of 8 stars.
It's 22.8 or roughly 23 chickens consumed per person per year. That number seems adequate I would think and may actually have been on the rise since the pandemic and now with inflation. Chicken costs less than beef and pork, but still puts meat on the table.
At the time this video is made, it was 25 chickens per American eaten.
In that old photo of the cinema, the title was “The Dumb Girl of Portici,” starring Anna Pavlova. And I eat 0 chickens per year… I’m vegan. LOL!
Prior to 1987, states had the right to set the drinking age, and many were either 18 or 19. In '87, the federal government told all the states that they had to raise the age to 21, or forfeit all of the federal money they get, for road construction/maintenance.
I thought it was in 1984 when the federal government made states raise their drinking ages to 21.
Maryland has a lot of millionaires because that is where a lot of government workers live. Virginia also has a lot.
America used to have drinking age of 18 back in the seventies. It didn’t work out well so it was raised back to 21.
Yep. The Federal Government held highway funds hostage to get states to comply. Perhaps we should try that again with raising the age to buy an AR-15 and other such rifles.
@@hedonista7593 All rifles combined account for around 500 deaths in a bad year. Any laws concerning them is nothing more than bullshit politics designed to make people feel better but does nothing to tackle gun violence when you factor in the 20k homicides occurring. Even the mass shooting numbers will hardly change considering handguns are used in the vast majority of them.
@@riddikk187 I don't think that's true.
1) public mass shootings have a psychology all their own, and they tend to use that type of rifle. The NY Subway shooter had a handgun and failed to kill anyone.
2) Handguns are absolutely used in the vast majority of non-public mass shootings, and are tied in no small way to domestic violence. Close the boy friend loophole on gun ownership, and don't allow anyone with a DV conviction to own a gun.
3) Suicides account for 50% of gun deaths, and is a problem with access to handguns that should be monitored and dealt with using red flag laws.
Each of these situations has a unique cause and a unique remedy, and pretending that globalized statistics like yours show us anything worth knowing is ridiculous.
Trying to reduce this down to "it's just politics" with 19 dead 4th graders makes you look like a do-nothing dick.
@@hedonista7593 LOL nutcase detected.
The drunk driving death crap was all lies by an UCLA nut back in the 70s, and most of the deaths she quoted were kids and teens in the vehicle being hit. Drinking age has always been about outright stopping people from drinking in hopes a kid or teen never has the chance to start drinking because they are not allowed to buy alcohol and could only drink if their parents gave it to them in the states that allow them to drink....
Over half of the States allow you to drink under the age of 21 with parental consent in private.
Did you know in most States a 15 year old can legally walk about with a gun, they can even own the gun and many do, where I live most teens 13+ have a shotgun, .22, .243, .270, .308, or even the much weak .223 "AR-15" hanging on their walls or in a gun cabinet.
Please stop being a brain dead puppet
....even if they made the age to buy 21, a parent can still buy the rifle and legally give it to their child.
@@hedonista7593 The problem is, the U.S. Constitution's Twenty-First Amendment gives great leeway to States regarding alcohol (minimum age, or even outright prohibition) but both State and Federal Governments are constrained by the Second Amendment regarding arms.
After Prohibition was repealed, the standard drinking age in every state was 21, but in the liberalization of the 1970s (the old "If kids are old enough to fight and die in Vietnam, why aren't they old enough to drink?" argument) many States lowered the drinking age to 18...some for all alcohol, others for just beer and wine...but the zooming rates of college-age drinking and drunk driving fatalities forced them to go back up to 21 by the mid-1980s.
Ginger bloke was damn close. :) It comes out to about 22-25 chickens per American. lol
Now, not only are you restricted from drinking until 21, you can't legally purchase tobacco or vape products until you're 21 either. But you can buy a firearm at 18 and also be drafted if needed in war and possibly die in said war if you're 18 and male.
In British English, a billion used to be equivalent to a million million (i.e. 1,000,000,000,000), while in American English it has always equated to a thousand million (i.e. 1,000,000,000)
that would be a trillion then?
The English billion is actually a million million but we have adopted the now standard one thousand million.
Its about 27 chickens per person statistically. Realistically its probably 100 per person, and the surplus of the other 73 chickens come from people who are vegan or homeless.
Six flags refers to six flags over Texas. The countries who have controlled the US before it became a state in 1845. Mexico, Spain, France, the Republic of Texas, the Confederacy and the United States.
Well in some places like Texas if you are married and your spouse is of age you can drink, or if you are at a bar or restaurant with your parents or legal guardian you can consume alcohol. Also tho underage drinking happens a lot, as a former teenager alot of us knew the places that would sell to minors
Dave would have a mobile home with a refrigerator out in the yard.
Ok, I've noticed it in shows from the UK and the UK dude in the video did it too, but not everyone there says maths I have heard plenty from the UK say math
😋
We can't legally drink in this country until 21, however I would venture to say many of us learn earlier from our parents. My dad taught my brother and I, this way when you turned 21 you didn't go crazy and could handle it. Obtaining a driver's license in the U.S. is nothing like it is in the U.K., so I don't think anyone would argue it's a bad idea to have a young driver wait before they can drink. The last thing we need is a drunk teenager behind the wheel of a car that can easily be accidentally weaponized.
You can drink under 21 in over half the states, its sad how many people dont know this...its like how you can own a rifle even handguns at 15 in many states and many teens do
Canadas drinking age is on a province by province basis. Saskatchewan it at least was 19 when I was young.
Alaska n Hawaii wasn’t a state. Each star represents a state so everytime a state was added a new flag had to be designed. They held a contest in schools for Hawaii n Alaska addition flag I believe
You can get a driving license at 16 but you actually start driving before then, at 15 but you are supervised. You have to be 18 to own a rifle or shotgun and 21 to own a pistol. However, usually they have access to a gun before then and the family member is the "owner" until they are legal to transfer the firearm to. That's pretty typical in families. While its technically illegal to drink before 21, many still do and they get friends to buy alcohol for the. Its illegal to do that, but still happens.
You can own a rifle, shotgun, and handgun under 18, you can legally have one in public for hunting, without an "adult" at 15 in most states and own one at like 13 in some states, age to buy is not age to possess.
You can also drink under 21 legally in private in over half the states, again age to buy is not age of possession or consumption.
@@Kirinketsu_ No, you cannot legally own a firearm and be under 18. That's completely wrong. The parent or adult is the legal owner, and they can temporarily transfer a firearm (i.e. let them borrow it) for them to use for shoot or hunt for that day, but the child is still not the legal owner.
The under 21 drinking in private is with parental consent for most states.
Hi Blokes, One thing also about the Statue of Liberty is it was built and designed by Gustavo Eiffel , she’s our American Eiffel Tower. Cheers🎉

I think we have so many cars because most of us don't have mass transit , other than those in major cities. Gotta get to work somehow! Love your show!
The reason for the ID check is because by law if they don't the ATF will run up in the store then they arrest the person who sold the tobacco or drink, then they fine the company so bad to where if youre just a local business youve got to declare bankruptcy. Also its not really common practice because I've seen hundreds of thousands of people not get ID unless you look young cause I'm 31 but they still check my ID.
24 chickens per person a year so pretty much 2 chickens a month for an entire year
In most states it's 18 to own a rifle or shotgun, 21 to own a pistol
@9:30. No during World War II Alaska and Hawaii were not states yet, and the Field of Stars was six rows of 8 stars stacked evenly on each other.
The flag in WW2 movies has 48, 49 for one year in 1959 then 50 since.
Aww Dave you're my favorite bloke
rounding up it's about 27 chickens per person
WWII we only had 48 states
Six Flags refers to the countries Spain, Mexico, France, the Republic of Texas, the United States, and the confederate states of America that all governed over Texas at one point in history. Texas is where six flags originated from.
Christmas wasn’t widely celebrated in the early US, but it was never illegal. That would be unconstitutional anyway. It was recognized as a federal holiday in 1870, but was not illegal before then. That’s a ridiculous myth and really lazy fact checking by the creator.
It was during colonial days, thanks to Puritan lawmakers. But you're right that it never has been illegal during the time the US has been its own country.
@@frangeckle9016 I believe it was just one colony in the 1600s, but never as an independent nation. It would be highly unconstitutional anyway.
With all this hemp talk you all ought to look into the history of hemp it’s pretty interesting stuff.
Hemp to make rope, sailcloth,and paper contained no THC,therefore no one was getting high from it.they make fun of george washington but he was not a pot head,the crop was an important one in the colonial era and into the republic.

In Texas and many other states you can drink under the age of 21 if it's consumed in the presence of your parents.
We miss you Orange Menace......Mean Tweets..2024..thanks
The reason why the gun age is 18 is because how can the government expect men to sign up for the draft or men and women voluntarily sign up to join the military if they can't even legally own a gun at 18? Having said all that, I think the legal age to drink alcohol should be changed back to 18 year Olds if they are also expected to sign up for a military draft.
You can have a gun under 18 in many states, at the age of 13 legally, as in it can be kept in your room, at 15 you can take the gun into public, usually this is limited to with the intent of going hunting or range shooting.
The legal drinking age was never 18, each state had their own laws and still do, age to buy is not age of possession, you have to be 21 to buy, possess, and drink in public spaces, over half the states still have their old drinking age laws in place, and you can drink under 21 in most states in private, in at parties.
@@Kirinketsu_ the legal age to drink back in the 1970's was at 18 or atleast in the state I live in it was but in 1984 it went up to age 21 nationally.
And one more comment about.... chickens. When you think about the size of the USA there are many of us who don't have easy access to seafood. Fresh seafood everyday is just not an option. I live in Tennessee we have lakes so we have access to freshwater fish, but seafood has to be shipped to us. The Gulf of Mexico is a good 600 mi from where I live. Beef is expensive to raise and it takes a lot of land. Chickens don't take much land, you can raise chickens in your backyard I have friends I work with who do this
They live in a small rural town and they raise their own chickens . But you're even allowed to raise chickens in your yard if you live in the city limits of Nashville like I do depending on what part of the city you're in. Then you have fresh eggs everyday and chickens to eat when you choose. If we lived on an island surrounded by ocean water and had very little land for beef cattle we'd probably eat more fish.
You guys are off a decimal, it's 24 chickens per year, so on average an American eats a chicken every two weeks.
Six flags came from Texas. Six flags refers to the six nations which have governed Texas.
18 was the legal drinking age in Minnesota till 1980 when I turned 18, but the Federal Government refused highway funds to the states that didn't raise the drinking age to 21 (very messed up) I turned 18 in March 1980 and new laws in Minnesota start in July, so I could drink at 18, but my friend who's birthday was in September had to wait till he turned 21, there was lots of pissed off people! the Fed's love to lord it over the states
After driving through there a couple months ago I can assure you those funds never did end up arriving. Never seen potholes so big you will fall into up to your waist.
@@slimeyslug12 So true
You can drink in Minnesota under 21 but only if you are in your in the privacy of that parent's or guardian's home
$25k/yr in 1789, the year he took his oath as president, is a little over $840k today.
I think the amount of supermarket food waste is being addressed; in my area, programs have become common where restaurants, caterers, and markets donate excess fresh products to food banks for the needy.
DO THE DAVE SHAPPELL MONOLOGUE FROM SNL! THE MOST RECENT ONE!!!!!
It is a bit strange that a 14-year-old can get a driver’s permit in Arkansas which means they can drive with an adult who has a license, and at age 16, their permit becomes a driver’s license but in the state of Missouri, which borders the north side of Arkansas, you have to be 15 to get a permit to drive. Anyone 18 and older can buy and carry (in most states) a handgun (pistol) but all hunters who were born after December 31st, 1968 and who are 16 years of age or older, are required to complete a state-approved Hunter Education Course to hunt within the state of Arkansas. There is no minimum age to get certified. BUT, you must be 21 to buy a beer!! I think it’s weird that we can send our 18-year-old sons off to war but they can’t drink a beer until they’re 21….at least not here in the states. I guess if they were training in Europe, they would be legal to drink at 18?? But that’s America for ya and I love the USA and am proud to be an American. Unfortunately I’m scared of guns and don’t like alcohol! Lol!! Oh and you have to be 21 to buy a pack of cigarettes as of 12/2019! So, to wrap it up, in Arkansas, you can hunt with a rifle at any age, at age 14, you can get a driver’s permit and drive with your parents or anyone with a license and get a regular driver’s license at 16. At age 18, you can buy a rifle or a handgun (in most states), vote, and go into the military but you must be 21 to have a beer! You can also get an abortion without consent from a parent at the age of 18 but have to wait on that beer until you’re 21! 😂. Sorry this is so long but I’m super tired and need a beer! 😂😉. And yea, I’m over 21…..WAY OVER 21!!! Thanks, guys!
It was in 1869 that George Washington's face first appeared on the one dollar bill. He died in 1799.
So he really thinks Americans wait to drink until 21 and they are just drinking after shooting a gun for 3 years. Most people drink in High School.
Alcohol age has gone up in the US, it was 18, then 19 now 21.
Nooooooo.....a billion is a thousand millions here too!
In Canada, the drinking age is mostly 19 however in some provinces like Quebec, it is 18 I believe.
Last time I checked it was Quebec and two others (Alberta and Newfoundland I'm guessing), the rest are 19.
WW2 US flag had 48 stars. The stars refer to the number of states in the US.
I feel like the chickens stat is based soley on the number of chickens processed annually. It probably includes any food products that have some sort of chicken biproduct and animal foods like dog food that utilize chicken. Thats the only way i can wrap my head around that number lol.
No it is not named after the 6 flags on Google here is what Google says.....
Throngs flocked to Six Flags Over Texas when the park opened in 1961. Six themed sections, modeled after the culture of the six countries whose flags flew over Texas during the state's colorful history, created a spectacular and magical setting for guests - and provided the park's name.
they actually just changed the smoking/vaping age too 21 as well. Still can own rifles at 18 though.
Why yall gotta do Mike that way and call him out 🤣
Dave nailed it! That was amazing on how many chickens per person
We are all Sandor Clegane over here.
When they add a state they add a star.
"Americans eat 8 billion chickens per year"
Mike: "amateurs"
8 billion divided by 313 million is 25 and a half.
