That chewing gum sticks to your digestive tract for seven years. It's not that sticky. Leaves out of you like any other piece of food.
This is the result of a misunderstanding of a study that determined it would take seven years for stomach acid to dissolve a wad of gum. Some moron took that to mean that it *stays in there* for seven years.
Marie Antoinette never actually said "Let them eat cake."
Of course she didnt, she only spoke french, not english.
@@Todd_Swank She was the queen of France but she was actually Austrian. So maybe she said "Lass sie Kuchen essen". Of course she no doubt spoke fluent French as well.
I got to pick out my engagement ring. I chose a blue topaz set in silver as I'm not a fan of gold. It was on sale and cost $50!
hell yea i love that for you, genuinely! more money for dates 😎
My mother used to have a woodpecker on her bird feeding board. One year it came with a baby. Mom flew up but for some reason baby couldn't get wind under its wings again and landed on the ground. My mother called a wild life station asking for advice and they told her to leave and let a cat deal with it. She refused. She picked up the baby bird and put it back on the feeding board. An hour later mom came back to pick up her baby. Most likely it was one of baby's first flights and it was exhausted after flying from the forest to our house and just needed some rest.
Eveyone, outside of Japan, with the exception of a few high end places, believes they're having wasabi, when it's actually green colored horse radish 😑
The only two places in the world you can get Wasabi are obviously Japan and not so obviously the u.k as the English have a stream in their nation that mimics the streams that Wasabi grows in
It also doesn't pickle very well pickling is probably the only pleasant way it could be preserved and retain most of its character other preservation methods also generally fail and cause issue with the Wasabi
The McDonald's case is the most misunderstood lawsuit in American jurisprudence.
Even now, there are corrections to be made: the coffee was heated well above industry standards. They did this, not to discourage refills, but so that they wouldn't have to change out old coffee as often. It was a jury, not the judge, who calculated the amount of damages to be paid. The judge reduced the award, and on appeal, the appellate court reduced it even further.
Story #6 - Napolean was also young. My senior year of high school history book stated that he was 19 when he first came into the military limelight. He wasn't even two decades old when he won hist first battle with "...a wiff of grapeshot."
The second post really understates how bad the burns were. Yes, the coffee was hot enough to cause third degree burns, but it also melted her skin and fused parts that shouldn't be fused. Her name was Stella Liebeck and she didn't deserve any of what happened.
Edit: Stella went through eight days of skin grafting and two years of medical treatment. 6% og her body received third degree burns. I understand the channel can't go too into depth about the burns, but it was really bad.
Understate how? They covered all of that. Well, except her name I guess.
Here's another one for you!
"Don't go swimming for half an hour after eating." Ok, if you ate a really huge meal you shouldn't try Olympic swimming, but it's not that bad. But some people do see it as a sacred truth.
It was spread in the 50's because you had more public pools everywhere, every hotel started having its own pool, but also....you had hotdog and hamburger stands everywhere. Pool owners were annoyed by people (especially kids) who'd just eaten a greasy burger or hotdog rush into the water and make it dirty. So they spread this myth/pseudoscience that it could cause cramps (which some people DO experience while swimming), or worse, that all the required oxygen for swimming is rerouted to digestion. And the US Federal government fully bought it so their CDC spread it.
HALF an hour? Nope.
TWO **full** hours. Not a millisecond before.
In the 1960s and 1970s. Before and after, I don't know.
That cats will suck the breath out of a baby.
My mother-in-law actually believed this. She wanted my wife to get rid of her cat when she was pregnant because of this.
As I understand it, Columbus based his calculations on Arabic maps and believed the world was smaller due to a mistranslation of the distance terms used. It's also a myth that he was the first European to reach America. The Norse (vikings), at least, beat him to the new world by a couple of centuries. There's at least one famous settlement in Newfoundland Canada called L'Anse aux Meadows.
Speaking of the Norse, it's incorrect to refer to them all as vikings, as that referred specifically to warriors who went out raiding. They would go viking. They were also farmers, traders and explorers, reaching many parts of the known wold at the time. And no, they did not wear horns or wings on their helmets. Though there are a few helmets with such decorations, they were probably ceremonial. The enduring image of the horn helmet wasn't created until the romantic era art. In reality, such decorations would have been impractical and potentially dangerous in battle.
Story 15: In general it's assumed the stories of halucinations due to absinthe are because cheaper variations might have contiained toxic additives that could have caused them.
Story 23: There was a doctor who tested it on himself, for decades he regulary cracked the knuckles of one hand, while not doing this at all with the other one. The end result was both hands were perfectly fine.
The word at around 6:49 is pronounced "skvo-szn-yack."
And yes, this obsession with breezes and drafts is absolutely a thing for older Russians. I believe it's related to old pseudoscience around understanding where colds, sinus issues and things like meningitis come from. They used to believe the cold drafts brought the illnesses somehow. They were kinda not entirely off. Being cold and in too cold of temps for too long DOES lower your body temp and make you susceptible to the viruses that you might otherwise fight off successfully in normal or warm temps.
But yeah, my whole life has been a collection of "slippers, scarves, hats, coats, headcovers, closed windows and a draft free nights sleep." 😂
My Norwegian grandma (born in 1914 or 1918-, I get confused)from my mom's side also believed that. She also didn't like cats because she thought they could steal a baby's breath by laying on top of them.
"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" has Mormon roots with Corn Flakes
Story seven…don’t know much about lab created gems, but I love my opal and garnet wedding ring that we got at an antique shop. (For significantly less than at a big name store…)
My pet peeves…1) “people were significantly shorter back then…” If you research the records, period clothing, etc, there’s not that big of a difference…; 2)”all girls were married by 14 or 15 back then….or were an old maid.” Again, search the records….somewhere between 18 - 22 was far more common. 3) “they didn’t have paper / paint / nails / glass / sugar back then…” Sigh…
Only difference between lab and natural is lab has less impurities and inclusions. That's how you tell the difference, lab grown are to uniform.
I need to get my glasses prescription checked. When I first read your first sentence, I thought you said lab created GERMS. I thought you were going to talk about vaccines.
#2 - true it wasn't common - but it wasn't unusual for 40 year old men to marry 15 year old girls - especially amongst the upper classes. Men needed to have an active profession in order to afford to support a wife, female children were typically seen as a drain on the household finances so parents would be happy to marry their daughters off to wealthy men. Even so, most of these men would prefer women in their late teens, early twenties. I don't think they were considered old maids until they were close to or over 30.
In Denmark we have a ‘cereal’ which is specifically used for dessert
"The US is the freest country in the world". They forgot to add "if you're rich" to the sentence. 🤣
The freest country has to be Denmark, the country is so free that homelessness is in the negatives, medical care is not ludicrous. You want to know another funny fact? Any country that is said to be socialist but functioning very poorly, its a mystery how it happens, but its odd that each country got a visit from the US of A secret service and after a while the country is said to be in decline due to socialism.
Especially since the USA is technically socialist though it leans heavily toward the capitialist side of the spectrum
I wouldn’t be able to drive, get a job, or use basic public facilities like grocery stores and post offices in 90% of the world’s countries. You take your privileges too lightly. ♿️
@@DrFranklynAnderson 90% is a dramatic over-estimate; you're implying that at least three of Australia, Sweden, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, France, Ireland, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, Germany, Japan, South Korea, the USA, Austria, Denmark, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, Portugal, San Marino, Lichtenstein and Slovenia wouldn't give you that treatment.
I'm not saying you're ignorant and blindly patriotic, but there are a lot more developed nations than you expect.
Only time I tried to help out a fledgling bird was because it was hanging out in the road that was the entrance to my apartment complex. It hoped back into the road by the time my dad left.
One of my friends sisters drank from a water fountain and died from bleach in the fountain at school
Breakfast IS the most important meal of the day. If you aren't home by then, kid, you're in trouble....
Story #22 - It isn't illegal by any means, but if you are pulled over having it on can get you fined for distracted driving. Honestly not sure what the thought process is but knowing that the human eye gravitates towards sources of light so your eye is unconsciously more likely to look at the light than the back window it probably the reason. Still ridiculous.
The light from inside the car reflects off the windshield glass, which makes it harder to see anything outside the car at night because at that point you're looking through a mirror.
the mcdonald coffee lady had her labia fused together from the coffee! no reason for it to be hot enough to fuse my labia
Spot on about diamond jewelry -- all that slvry, chld labor, and artificial costs just for something shiny to look at
Richard III was not a tyrant or a hunchback, in the common sense of the term. The negative image of him, immortalized in Shakespeare's play, was largely fabricated propaganda by rival Henry Tudor. Examination of his remains, found under a parking garage (!) in 2012. showed that he did have a common form of scoliosis (sideways curvature of the spine), however it would not have affected his mobility and likely would not have been greatly noticeable, especially if he were wearing armour or loose clothing.
The light on inside the car is illegal in my country while driving as it lowers your outside visibility and if a coo sees it you are pulled over
2:34 Russian speaker here (I'm American and taught myself the language).
I can read the word but I don't know the meaning.
"Сквозняк" is pronounced "skvozniak"
Edit: I used Google translate and the word literally translates to "draft"
I also fixed the way I spelled the latin lettered version
Sometimes wild animals can tell that a baby won't survive and will abandon them/push them out of the nest so that they can focus on the ones that will survive
You crack your knuckles 10 times a day? Rookie numbers
TIL the real story behind the coffee lawsuit. Wtf? Why didn't she get better press. Poor lady!
Thujone is a substance in wormwood (the common name of some species of artemisia plants) and some other plants, which is purported to have hallucinogenic or psychotropic effects. There are several types of wormwood, and these are used to flavor absinthe. So it CAN be.
When I was a teen we got absinthe just because we thought it would make us hallucinate lol
Pretty much all the misconceptions about nuclear power.
In the known universe, wood is more scarce than diamond
Bad title. Should be “What Propaganda _Do_ People Still Believe Today?”
lol right
That Anne Boleyn was a witch and had a 6th finger. These were lies used by Henry The 8th and others to justify her being executed. In reality Henry blamed her for having miscarriages one which was confirmed to be a boy, which of course weren't her fault, and he started having affairs. He had already divorced Catharine of Aragon, created the church of England so he could marry Anne Boleyn, and getting a second divorce would have made himself look bad. So yeah. Anne Boleyn lost her head because Henry's fragile ego couldn't take getting another divorce after he divided the country through religion to be able to marry her thinking it would get him sons. I hate Henry The 8th and I sincerely hope he lived with the guilt of that eating away at him for the last few years of his life.
Is UA-cam so controlling that the word crap has to be bleeped out now??
This has already been uploaded. I have literally seen t his video before.
And?
@@tangentyoung5633 "And?"? This ain't even the first time I've gone to watch one of these videos and had it be a reupload. I'm just calling them out at this point.
It’s just a video why are you so mad
@@MarionRobbins TF said I was mad?
Bro why is every idiot on the internet like that "Erm, you disagreed, so you're clearly mad.".
Not a fan of MacDonalds. Plenty of things to condemn them for. When you make coffee at home, the first thing you do is boil the water, then use that boiling water to make it. MacDonalds coffee isn't hotter than normal people make it at home.
Diamond and coal is actually made from the same atoms: C.
I feel like the title shouldn't be ignored so easily. Or has Propaganda convinced all of you that "does" fits here and not "do"? weird to let that slide
that Canada is mostly igloos and polar bears. thats not true for 8/13 provinces/terriotories. the territories have igloos amd polar bears, while both manitobia and quebec have a small polar bear population.
I do know one thing you won't find in FC, penguins.
wdym dogs see colors??
why are the same videos being uploaded with different covers. so disappointing…
So guys, when do you think he stops reuploading his videos from years ago?
That heaven exists.
Anti- vaxer pre-coooovy is different than an anti-cooovy vaxer, just to be clear.
Coffee is brewed at 170-190 degrees.
Doesn't mean you have to serve it at that temperature.
@btf_flotsam478 yes it does. Most people want their coffee that hot. Especially older people. Who happen to be the main consumers of coffee at fast food.
That Israel is not a terrorist state.
my great grandma told me she supported israel but couldn’t give a single good reason why besides “they’re teaching you the wrong things in school” but i didn’t even learn about that in school, i did my own research 😭
Mostly fact, why is the grammar used in your thumbnails/titles always so bad? Do better plz
That capitalism is the most effective way to build an equitable and fair society
Best one we've found so far, communism just doesn't work with humans. But it does need some strong restrictions to balance it. Unfortunately, the US lost those.
Who is claiming that?
Sick of McDonald's lady story
"I feel like a cup of coffee, I'll go get one from that mcdonald's that serves it's coffee way too hot"
*gets coffee, spills coffee, gets hurt
"How did this happen?"
When you hand put molten lava in a cup in a drive through, you're asking for trouble.
America normalizing coffees being far so hot it scalds the tastebuds makes me understand how Starbucks managed to succeed passing off sweetened brown liquid as coffee. (There's a reason Australia has bugger-all of them.)
Go west : Old cold war and colonial era properganda has convinced 3rd world narions that the West is a paradise where you can achieve your dreams and be rich..... Hence the Migrant crisis...
Actually developed countries tend to be far better than being in the middle of a Civil War. I'm sure you Americans will understand if you head north.
