Loved this! But I've got two pieces of feedback...
1) For such a long video, which such an enormous amount of facts and numbers, we sort of need visual information to keep track of it. Mainly the numbers. Sometimes we're seeing something important, but you're saying numbers and my monkey brain can't focus on both things at the same time after a while. And, of course, metric. Not united statesian freedom units.
2) The video is quite bad. Not sure why (even Premium HD). Not sure if it's because the focus is on the back wall or something. But it feels like we're back in 2012 with a Canon 7D.
Am I being harsh? Perhaps. Am I being unfair? Hardly.
Did I actually love and appreciate this video and will watch the next ones if they have even LESS visual queues and worst camera quality? Absolutely!
These are GREAT nonetheless.
Gonna be honest, when he said Goosebumps are a bit out dated, I thought he was about to start roasting R.L. Stein.

The idea of a tongue scanner has me cracking up picturing business people, military personnel and government officials looking like teen girls on Instagram to get into secure areas.
Sir, our new securitysystem contains a tongue scanner, a voicescanner, a fingerprintscanner and a shoescanner.
To spare some time u can activate all of them by following my orders:
Show your tong, stretch your hands palm downwards to the scanner, lift your right foot behind your back. Afterwards say "UWU" to activate the scan.
Ahegao is the search term you are looking for 😅
I was a teen girl once, we already had to show our tongues to get backstage.
Fact : Simon has more youtube channels than anyone else alive. He also can't pronounce the word China. We love him anyway. Keep up the good work.
Or "tortoise", apparently. 😂
Or ‘Tanzania’ I noticed, the other day. Ole’ Whistler pronounced it, repeatedly, as one would normally say ‘Tasmania’.
Yea he and his replacement on that other channel seem like they learned English from a book and never hear the words spoken
@@maxturgidson568 Have you seen the "Not the Nine O'Clock News" sketch with the court case? It's on UA-cam.
I was reminded of it when some of my pupils started saying "gorge" instead of "gauge", and I realised they had read the word and not realised its correct pronunciation.

My Family makes these spiced small cookies for Christmas every year and we roll them out into slim logs to ferment with the spices over night. These cookies use a good amount of nutmeg and other spices. The cookies are the size of a Canadian 5 cent or 25 cent piece. One night our 90 lb guardian dog ate a cookie tray full of the rolled out raw cookie logs. Our dog probably ate the equivalent of 1 Tbsp of nutmeg. We, after checking with the vet that she would be okay, locked her a room when she started growling in a corner at nothing. We realized she was hallucinating, and as she was a guardian dog breed if she had mistaken one of us as a threat she could have caused major damage in an attack. She was fine the next day but it was a little freaky.

Fun fact about the "you cant feel wetness" fact. If you've ever been fly fishing or used waders, you still feel like you're getting wet. You feel the pressure of the water and the coldness and it really does feel like you're wet.

Phantom pain is actually caused by axons of peripheral nerves (transmitter of the nerve) which regrows and tries to reconnect with its original end-organ. If that happens some functionality may be restored. If no good connection is made, like with an distal amputation or strong fibrosis, it can connect with nerves of the wrong muscles, the taste receptor on the wrong spot, or something else. And it will get the wrong signal, which results in phantom pain.
And the trick with the mirrors absolutely works. Tried it with a patient during my recent internship. The lady was happy that now she could "scratch" that itch.
PS. While complete nerves cannot be regrown, some parts, like the axon of peripheral nerves, can be.
Basically, its your nervous system being aware that normally there should be something there.
@@Im-Not-a-DogYes and no. The nerve that has been severed reconnects to another nerve and get signals from that nerve. But that second nerve could be from something entirely unrelated. But because it comes through on the nerve from the amputated limb, it gets interpreted as originating from that nonexistent limb.
Whats the trick with the mirrors?
Im guessing its in the video but im only 10mins in lol.

It's a bit apples and oranges though. The undersea portions of mountains are not subject to erosion the way mountains in the air are, and of course in addition to erosion nobody is crediting mountain chains like the Himalayas etc with the full extent of their upthrust from the sea floor.

The Nine-inch Banded Armadillo splitting its already fertilized egg is actually a great adaptation. It's basically increasing the odds of survival for their genes without sacrificing genetic diversity because since the egg is already fertilized its not clones in the sense that they're copies of the mother but copies of the genetically different offspring.
In fact, it could be good for genetic diversity since the same genes could be exposed to varying environmental pressures and since we found that epigenetics is a thing, that could help the species adapt far better to drastic environmental changes.
I was going to ask where male armadillos come from until I realized Simon didn’t really mean, “clone.”
@@TheTewjr He did mean clones of one-another. Except for parthenogenesis, no child is a clone of either parent.

Fun fact: There are about 8×10⁶⁷ possible combinations in a shuffled pack of cards, which is about the same as the approximate number of atoms in the Milky Way galaxy.

Not the only example of someone surviving a free fall.
A young girl, (11/12) fell in her seat from a plane that disintegrated over the Amazon. While cut up by branches, she survived and made it to habitation a few days later.

She probably survived because her seat created a spinning motion to help slow it down, and the canopy of the Amazon must've helped her break her fall.
@@debroofgreen canopy would defo have done that, & likely the seat provided some protection therein.

Nutmeg contains a hallucinogen?
Well, That explains why Jon Townsend thinks he's living in the 18th century!
To anyone contemplating having a go on nutmeg, don't. Junkies don't use it because it sucks so bad, that should be a firm hint on its pleasantness. Old friend who used everything you can imagine said that he can't believe that anyone has taken it twice.

Fun fact, as brought up by the British panel show QI: There's no such thing as a fish.
Sure, there are lots of animals we *call* fish, but they're what's known as a paraphyletic group. That means they only superficially resemble each other, but aren't very closely related. Some fish, especially the lobe-finned fish, are more closely related to us than to other animals we would also call fish.
Isn't that like saying there is no such thing as a quadruped?
@@you2tooyou2too No, because quadrupeds (Superclass Tetrapoda in cladistic terms) are not paraphyletic. They actually are all related -- and in fact are related to the lobe-finned fish (clade Sarcopterygii) from which they are all descended. In one view, tetrapods are just the dominant crown group of sarcopterygii.
In California, bees are legally fish. This was done to help conservation efforts. There was no legal way to make an insect a protected species, but a bee technically meets all the qualifications of a fish.
@hildisvinimattson "Fish" in that case is a label for a protected category, not biological description. The category comprises "a wild fish, mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate, amphibian or part, spawn or ovum of any of those animals." Note that under this law, other aquatic animals clearly not fish such as mussels, crayfish, and frogs are covered here. The legislative intent was probably to make for a comprehensive description of anything you might find living in water, but they wrote it in such a way as to be more expansive when they simply said "invertebrate."

The "birthday death" thing can easily be attributed to record keeping errors. My dad died last year and the original death certificate I received showed his date of death to be some weeks in the future, which would have been his birthday. I did get an updated document eventually, but it shows that there is quite a bit of weirdness still going on; I mean not even modern digital document management software seems to check for "date of death must be in the past" aparently.

No, not a mis-speak; a mathematical / factual / logical error, because he goes on to say that “if the entire human race wanted to live with that same average population density, as Mongolia, we would require 3.7 billion square km of land which would be about seven times the entire surface of the Earth including all the oceans.”
"Welcome to Mongolia, we have 2 million people per square kilometer, in this square, and the other 1.4 million roam about yelling at eachtoher across valleys and fields."

Possibly the worst financial decision in history was made by IBM in the early 1980s. At that time, the computer market was dominated by corporate multi-user systems but a few enthusiasts had started producing personal computers, very small and simple systems that could sit on a desk for use by one person. IBM decided that as a company which covered everything computery, they themselves should sell such systems if only for completeness. They developed a hardware design but couldn't be bothered to write an operating system for it, so they approached a small, obscure company called Microsoft and offered to buy one that they'd produced. Microsoft refused to sell and instead insisted on a per-machine licensing system. IBM executives didn't care, shrugged their shoulders, and agreed. The rest is history.
13:20 It is quite easy to understand the difference between an object's HEIGHT and how TALL it is. HEIGHT is the vertical distance above a SPECIFIED FIXED POINT (be that the floor, the ground, sea level, etc), while how TALL something is is the measurement from its lowest point to its highest point above that level. So how TALL an object (person, vehicle, building, etc) is DOES NOT CHANGE, while the HEIGHT of moveable objects may vary greatly, depending on their location at any given time and where you're measuring FROM (usually the ground or the floor). This is why Mt Everest is the HIGHEST point above SEA LEVEL, while being only 3849 meters TALL (Everest's base level is the Himalayan plateau at 5000m),

What's crazy is the "your skin can't detect wetness " played at the exact second a raindrop fell on me and it not only tripped me out a bit feom the odd coincidence but because I immediately felt that it's true. I could feel the cold of it but not really the wet.....
I noticed quite awhile ago that I frequently mistake my feet being cold for being wet and vice versa, so this makes some sense.
I've noticed this after doing laundy, it can be tricky to tell if they're still damp or just cold from the wind

Sweet good info homie, get a load of this big brain over here.
I mean the same can probably be said for voice authentication as well, right? There's gotta be someone that has such a similar voice to you that they'd be able to trick a system.

@@mattcromwell4308 Well think about it, sure people who can mimic voices can be scary accurate however with a scanner it’d have to be perfect with the same pitch and tone, it’s very difficult if not impossible for most to perfectly mimic another’s voice, close sure, but to the extent that a machine meant for it I’d say that’s a pretty tough job plus it isn’t just strictly a voice scan, most times they’ll incorporate other ones to avoid the possibility of that happening, since as a retinal scan or a finger scan.

My all-time favorite: After shuffling a standard 52 card deck, the resultant order of cards has overwhelmingly never occured in history. The possible combos are 52! (52 factorial, or 52x51x50x49...x1). That's 8.066x10E67 combos. That's a lot. Did I mention, that's a real lot? If we make a gross exaggeration of the number of card deals in history, lets assume A MILLION deals per second for the last 2000 years. A 52 card deck has actually only been around for less than 200 years.... That comes to ONLY 6.31x10E16 total deals. Hey, go with a billion per second for 2000 years. That's only 6.31x10E19. You could flip that and say that every single shuffle in history resulted in a unique order. No two ever alike. In fact, there are MORE possible combos in a 52 card deck than THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ATOMS IN EARTH(!!!!), which is estimated at 1.33x10E50. I hear that sound of your mind blowing up....
Golden retrievers the world over dream of someday chewing a Wimbledon tennis ball. It's supposed to be an experience like no other.
That one about the pope is so utterly ridiculous. I'm not saying you got anything wrong - just that I think it's, well, ridiculous. If it's even mostly about the whole "he might become a saint" thing, well, (1) that implies we can expect popes to be sainted, which is sus; (2) is having donated organs in the past an impediment to becoming a pope? What about donating blood?; (3) most organs wouldn't make good relics, anyway; and (4) the Church used to maintain a 50-year rule on sainting someone after they die. Do we really expect an organ donation recipient to be around 50 years later, or more? Although, one could argue that a recipient of an organ donation from a saint would make that person's original parts third-order relics.
OK, turns out this is kinda fun in the same way philosophical discussions, with all their counterfactuals, tend to be.
At any rate, you'd think if the pope were somehow known to be the best match for someone with a hard-to-match bone marrow, wouldn't it sort of disqualify him from sainthood if he hogged it all and let the person die? Unless, of course, he used that opportunity to get in one of his minimum of 2 miracles.
8:49 - used for pilgrimages, to sell on the internet, or install in Russian battleships...
16:00 - Fun Fact - There is a set of triplets in the US (I think) where two of the sisters have identical fingerprints!
- On a side note... ! once sliced one of my thumbs open and required stitches to heal it and since it healed, there is absolutely no scarring and I can no longer remember which was the thumb I originally sliced! I then think that aside from the pain involved, it would be exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to erase a fingerprint from a finger permanently.

Yes/No - in the sense of air pressure.. no.

We made it all the way down the mountain in pitch black darkness, just our headlights and we eventually made it to the bottom of the mountain and sure enough there was a gas station. We made it! I'll never forget it.
I love videos like this. I’m a big fan of learning. Please make more of these videos. 🙏
I like the ice cream fact. "Dessert everybody" ..... "Where are you all going?"
I always tell people that Mauna Kea is the tallest, but Everest is the highest, and if I'm taller I demonstrate it by standing somewhere lower than them.
When I heard the part about the “green wall” I could think about is “why do they like to build walls so bad?! 😂
"We do not recommend jumping from a plane at home" (paraphrased for brevity) I think you are ok on this one Simon, most of us do not have homes that are normally airborne, at least not at any height that is high enough to kill the victim of the quick stop at the end of the fall out of the house.
I love that you used a clip from House for the phantom limb pain reference. That's one of the bed episodes of all broadcast television, IMHO. The plot is well above American television level, and the interaction between House and the Canadian Vet Amputee is possibly the most intense and well acted television drama of the last 40 years.
As I'm aggressively attempting to consume all things Simon, is always a delight to find one that's under a day old.
