But what if you're a shoe? Shoes exist as much as seatbelts do, and shoes are fastened lots of different ways. (Mock panic) And shoes are always two of the same type! What if someone finds a picture of gay shoes!? WHAT THEN!? WILL THE FUNDAMENTAL LAWS OF REALITY CHANGE!? WILL THE PICTURE MAKE US ALL GAY!? 🙄
"If you can be gay then you should be able to be unvaccinated." Is basically saying being gay is a choice and a person can choose not to be vaccinated. Being gay is not choice.
Gayness is a personal preference, and after my examination it would appear that gayness is superior to straightness not that straightness is wrong. Opening a box with a box cutter is fine, there's nothing wrong with it - but using a well-made pocket knife would be sharper and can still be held in your hand easily and therefore would technically be a better option. But the box cutter is still valid. And just because that's the conclusion of my examination it does not mean that gayness is necessarily better, that's just how I interpret the data that I have gathered from the internet. But this is already off topic. Gayness is a preference, a orientational preference. This means that you have to have enough intelligence in order to consider one thing with another thing and then develop a preference because one is valued more highly. Therefore if you were supplied with the right wrong information or no information, or somehow were to acquire a proper mix of wrong and correct information- you should be able to use the computational power required to have a preference and apply it to vaccinations rather than orientation. However this is probably not what they meant going off of the information that I was able to answer and then process with my meat computers computational power as it is doing its thing in it's bone.
It is a choice... Born with male physic or female physics now that is not a choice, you were born with it. You choice to change it later in your life but you didn't choice to born like that.
If you can take a term from a book/movie/whatever that is used by the people specifically written as assholes (e.g. the death eaters of harry potter saying pureblood all the time) and then se it proudly for yourself, that says a hell of a lot about you.
Right? You'd think it'd be the other way around: get the COVID-19 vaccine because those that don't will be killed by the lizard people hiding in our government. For you see it's not really a vaccine but a repellent for Lizard People. .... I'm not a conspiracy theorist so idk how to come up with one but I like to think this one is better than most of the ones they come up with 😂
Why I love being a southern Christian: anytime someone is spewing these crazy conspiracies or bigotry in the name of god, I pull out my most southern twang and go “lawrd hav murcy, you don’ hav none of the sense da lawrd gav ya!” And then go on to talk about Jesus against them. It’s so much fun to use their own tools against them and call them “false believers”, it gets them legit mad.
IKR, it kills me (as a Christian) that people who call themselves Christians spew hate/lies, and use Christianity to excuse it, that's not how that works, it's like "do you even Bible, bro?" 😂
I love how they jump to "energy" as the reason for not mixing wool and linen in the same cloth, when there's the perfectly valid reason of "Wool and linen have different care requirements and react differently to washing so blending the two is just making your own life way more difficult than it needs to be."
Also, plant and animal based textiles are incredibly chemically incompatible and will basically destroy each other not only on the physical level due to friction and different reactions to moisture and heat but also the chemical level (altho that would take an entire lifetime of wearing) thanks to different pH levels (plant based fibers do best when they're slightly basic while wools and silk do best when acidic, pH around 5.5 for wool and I think around 4 for silk). The physics part also applies to mixing synthetic and natural or artificial fibers, although a lot of plastics also leech acids, which are highly destructive to all textiles
plus: it feels really weird. My aunt works for a high end clothing company and gave me some experimental industrial yarn that consisted of linen fibres interlaced with cashmere wool... and the cashmere fibres stick awkwardly out from the linen yarn. It gives the whole thing a slight halo like with most other goat- or yakhair yarn, while feeling like a potato sack. It obviously never got approved for use in the brand, because it was clogging up the knitting machines with cashmere fibres that came lose in clumps and got stuck frequently. I have an industrial spool with 2.2 kg of the stuff at home and don't know what on earth to make out of this yarn XD
Exactly! They also have entirely different properties. Linen is a summer fabric, best at keeping you cool, while wool is a winter fabric, best at keeping you warm. Wool fulls when washed (creates a kind of felt-like fabric) while linen just gets softer. You would never want to blend them because it just makes no sense.
@@hopejohnson6347 that yarn seems perfect for a rug, wool is isolator so it will be warm for feet, depending on how thick it is I would crochet bed for pets
I had my mind blown on the abortion discussion (I think it was by mama doctor jones) who pointed out that it doesn't matter if you consider a foetus a regular human person, because no other human person is entitled to use someone else's body to survive. We don't mandate kidney/liver donations or even blood transfusions, even though they're usually survivable and people die from the lack of them all the time, including children. I'd never thought of it that way and it surprised me I'd never heard that angle before.
@@CoreyMarinoGames They aren't endangering someone to survive, if you don't take care of your born baby, it won't kill You. In fact, that is where prolife really falls apart because they are concerned about the baby getting born... but after that they don't care about its doomed life. Pregnancy is a sacrifice that might kill the mother but if nothing else it changes the mother at a chemical level. So, a good mother can be a true hero... but not everyone is in the place where they are able to be that hero yet and forcing it is just asking for more damaged people in the world born to parent(s) unready/unwilling. This prolife ideal is sacrificing good people for potentially against all odds better people.
@@CoreyMarinoGames not really? They require care, sure, but not the physical body(parts) of another person (if you're talking about breastfeeding, formulas are a thing). And it also just strengthens the point that you can't force a person to give part of their body against their will, because having a child doesn't just involve the pregnancy, but everything afterwards as well.
My dad was the first person to tell me about that! Even a parent cannot next forced to surrender their blood or organs for their child outside the womb. We shouldn’t expect that for a “child” that can’t even breathe yet.
omg finally someone! it pains me that this isn't the default argument for pro choice. the definition of life and the edge cases are ineffective arguments because pro life isn't pro life it's barely even pro birth. it's pro "make only the woman suffer for the action that involves both the woman and the man"
My grandfather was a rural pediatrician in the 40s Eventually move his practice to a psychiatric hospital where he treated pediatric patients I was able to gain access to some of his published papers, and some thing I found incredibly fascinating was a paper that he wrote, essentially saying there are a bunch of diseases that were very common in farm children that all had similar affects on these children that he noticed throughout the state that he lived . Because the condition cleared itself in several weeks, no one was doing anything about it, and he was hoping that in years to come people would find a diagnosis and actually treat the children instead of just ignoring their condition. Most people assumed that the children were faking it, or that the symptoms weren’t as serious as they were but essentially, my grandfather was able to put together that this was a serious illness that was affecting all of these children, and that more than likely adults have the immune system to fight it off where is children didn’t, and it was causing serious health concerns but no one would listen to him, but he just wanted to write a paper to let other doctors in the future understand how serious this condition was The interesting thing to me is that there are several other articles linked to my grandfather’s paper about an actual diagnosis Children absolutely were getting very sick with autism and all kinds of other things in the 20s 30s and 40s but most people just assumed children were exaggerating or they just beat them until children didn’t say anything My grandfather was the kind of doctor that always listens to the children and with charmed kids until they trusted him and was a fascinating and charismatic pediatrician I don’t have access to all of the things that he wrote but I do know that when he worked at the psychiatric ward, he had at least 15 autistic boys, and 12 autistic girls that he and my grandmother worked with on a daily basis My grandmother was a sociologists for children I don’t have a lot of access to her papers, but it seems she was working with transgender kids. One of the papers that I found essentially said that she wanted the kids to live whatever way made them happy so she removed the restrictions, forcing them to live, according to their birth gender. She changed the nursing staff, so that the nurses that were kind and affectionate were the only ones allowed to care for these children and encouraged female nurses to care for female identifying patients. She said it was important for their modesty The very end of her notation was that anyone who had a problem could deal with her personally Knowing my grandmother, that was absolutely a threat😅 Knowing my grandparents were working so hard all the way back then to change everything we know about children today … and how backwards things are right now makes me want to cry They worked so fucking hard to make life easier for children😢 My grandmother said to me once that no child should ever have to cry alone . She said in her old job she saw way too many children with broken hearts, too young to even express it and I don’t think I understood what she meant then. But as an adult, I realize how tirelessly she worked for children, and it crashes me how her work has been undone just in my lifetime . I don’t know what I can do to fix it, but I’ll never stop My grandparents weren’t perfect people, but they fucking cared and so many people out here care
This is beautiful. It also breaks my heart to know that a lot in the scientific field is just ignored or devalued because of ignorant hateful people. It really has always been a choice to be a bigot, your grandparents are evidence of that
Your grandparents sound awesome. Is the access thing just because you don’t have access to a university library these days? (If so, I’d be happy to help!)

I love that they seem to believe that marriage is an inherent biological thing. it's a cultural thing, some cultures don't really have marriages. and some people don't want to get married. it's a social concept
This thing can easily be compared to s*x, and fitting like s*xual intercourse that can reproduce. So, this is saying that marriage is only about fertile s*xual intercourse and nothing else. Wow, no wonder boomers get themselves in toxic relationships.
Just because I've encountered the Mixed Fabrics thing, here goes: The only mixed fabrics in that culture were used to make priest's robes. So the wearing of "mixed fabrics" can be interpreted as "priestly garb". So the crime was trying to pass yourself off as a priest and abusing that authority. BTW my polyester cotton blends don't vibrate. Too bad. That'd be fun with underwear.
Okay, here's the thing. It was used for the high priest's belt, and the reason why is that that belt was highly embroidered and thus had a woolen backdrop with linen thread embroidery. It wasn't actually mixed in the first place. Also, mixing linen and wool is kind of a dumb idea- and that's the only thing the commandment prohibits. Other mixed fabrics are fine, just not linen and wool.
@Kathryn Elizabeth Honestly, it's more likely that it was a practical law enacted to stop frauds. It could've been that woolen clothes were very valuable among the herding Israelite tribes, while linen produced by nearby settled nations would be valued much less. So, some people would mix the wool and linen threads and try to sell the cheaper end product as the more valuable one. Because of this, the priests, who were the leaders of the Israelites, made a law about it. This caused the practice to stop, but since it was made by priests, it was encased in the Bible/Torah, and now, thousands of years later, some people with questionable common sense still adhere to it, because it's in their precious holy book, and nobody can question that, because something-something written by god and something-something hellfire and stuff.
@@GretchZ ancient, dead languages? No tenses? Bruh. I happen to speak that "dead language" in my daily life and let me tell you, there are tenses. Blame the translations that went completely off key, but it's not the original's fault that nuances can't be translated.
@@GretchZ I have read the Torah on its own, yes, and it's perfectly legible. It's a linguistic phenomenon in which two languages (in this case two versions of the same language) are only cross-intelligible in one direction. In this case, speaking Modern Hebrew gives you a good understanding of Biblical Hebrew, but not the reverse. There are absolutely tenses though, I'm not sure where you're coming at this from.

*_Edit_* I was having another discussion about fuel needs and why a rocket almost always lifts off in tandem of the Earth's rotation in order to save on fuel costs at the exact same time that you posted this. This comment was written with that context in mind, as I thought that was what this thread was at first. Pardon me, I was super sick the past week (only just recently had the fever break) and. . .not entirely mentally present atm because of it, lol. I left this comment though because I thought it would still be an interesting read(?) Again, sorry. Lol @@Green24152 Ironically, "getting there" is the easy part. Don't get me wrong, it's heavily math-intensive. There's a reason why "It's not rocket science" is a thing. But when it comes to resources, very little is actually used once they get into orbit. Most of a rocket's resources is used just to get it _off the ground._ There's a reason why the space shuttle's first stage was 3-4 times bigger than the shuttle itself, and it didn't even leave Earth's orbit. Now look at an Apollo rocket and realize that all but the very *_VERY_* tip of it is just fuel. And that was just to get it to the Moon. Meanwhile the fuel needed to get it from the Moon back to Earth was _also_ all in the very tip of the rocket. Pictures/videos don't do it justice, you have to see one in person to realize just how much fuel is used just to get it off the ground. So when so much fuel is used for the first stage alone, that 10% _(Edit: the 10% refers to it increasing fuel needs by 10% if it lifted off in opposition to the Earth's rotation instead of in tandem)_ makes a *_huge_* difference. Which, in actuality, would equate to closer to 15% increase in fuel consumption due to the increased weight of the larger fuel tanks and extra fuel. The more fuel is added, the more fuel needs to be added.
"Pure bloods" make me think of a family tree shaped like a tight knot. The thing with chlorine and sodium is the chemical equivalent to mixing boiling hot water and ice cold water so you can drink it without hurting yourself.
Seriously. Almost every crime ring documentary ends with "and then someone got [jealous/bored/greedy/felt bad] and the jig was up." Groups of people can be mistaken, but a conspiracy? Even involving all pilots and I guess ship captains? What would be in it for them to keep up the lie?
@@AlakaxamM also not like some conspiracy folks couldn't just become captains or pilots, collect the evidence and let the "secret" out - if there was one. There's a reason for the saying "two can keep a secret if one of them is dead". Like imagine how hard it is to keep something secret that 50.000 people already know of. Imagine like they all tell their parents and their partner, and boom secrets already out to 200.000 people Lol no way
@@AlakaxamM There have also been studies done on actual conspiracies done by governments and the results showed the more people involved, the faster it will come out. They also forget stuff like Freedom of Information acts exist in most Western nations, MKUltra literally went public because a journalist figured out what public records to ask for.
The whole 'mixed fabrics' thing was probably originally a practical concern, because it's extremely hard to launder fabrics with two types of fibre (e.g. wool weft and linen warp) so that there's no damage to the fabric. You know how your grandma (or maybe mum) will go absolutely nuts if you put coloured and whites in the same load, even though modern detergents usually mean it's fine? It's the same thing. This was a concern up until the 20th century, but is largely forgotten now.
A lot of religious prescriptions are due to practical concerns. The dietary restrictions prescribed in Abrahamic religions are just ways to avoid disease: - No eating carnivores. An animal that eats other animals is far more likely to be diseased, since its prey can pass on any illness. - No pork. Pork is an extremely dangerous meat for humans, and the only reason the pork we can buy now isn't dangerous is because of modern agriculture and our ability to test for the pathogens and treat the meat to be safe (compliant with food standards) before it reaches the consumer. - Completely drain the blood of an animal you intend to eat. It's much less likely that you'll contract a bloodborne illness from eating an animal if you drastically reduce the amount of its blood that you're consuming. Obviously this isn't real evidence of divine creator, but instead a testament to just how much we were able to figure out from our combined anecdotal experiences without knowing the specific mechanism of _why_ disobeying these restrictions made you sick.
Except it was even more important in the preindustrial era because cloth was *insanely* valuable, mostly due to how labor intensive and time consuming it was to make it, not to mention that various stages required specialized skills. There's a reason multiple royal families throughout the medieval and renaissance eras counted things like tapestries as huge parts of their accumulated wealth, not just gold/gems.

I enjoyed that "life begins at conception" thought experiment. I have always liked to equate a woman being forced to bring a life into this world despite the health risks like this... You can live without one lung, you can live without one kidney, you can live without half your liver, so if someone will die without them they should be able to take them from you, right? Most people say no.
Also, if life begins at conception, every woman on earth would be in prison, because ~⅓ of all pregnancies are terminated naturally for some reason or another, most so early in the process that a lot of women don't even realise they were technically pregnant for two or three days...
@@midnight8341 Actually, there was some Finnish study that calculated that the summary of known miscarriages, stillbirth etc and the estimated amount of the miscarriage unknown to even the pregnant person themselves makes up about 60% of all pregnancies being unsuccessful.

As a person who didn’t start to realize I was gay until I was 27 and that I have autism until I was 30, I fully endorse comparing those two things in regards to why there are “more” of those people now. I was socialized to think I was straight and science didn’t understand autism well enough. Both of those things were always true of me and if I had been born generations ago I probably never would have realized either of them.
Same for me as a trans person. I don’t think I would have realized that I’m a man if it weren’t for me daydreaming about medically transitioning. If that wasn’t available to us today, I don’t think I would have ever understood myself fully.
@@Mirrima Hey, just so you know Asperger’s is an outdated term that many are trying to stop the use of due to its connection to notsees. Same with functioning labels like high and low. You can just say you’re autistic. Not trying to be mean just thought I’d share some knowledge that you didn’t have before.
I was diagnosed with autism at 25 and didn't figure out that I was asexual until I was almost 40. I don't know why but ever since I figured this out I've been hit on an inordinate number of times. It's not impossible to get to me but it is not very likely for 99%. I just find it strange how it works out in the end.
The term, "crepuscular" referrs to the time around sunrise/sunset, it is most often used to refer to animals who are active during this time as opposed to being noturnal or diurnal. this is the reason your pet rabbit starts going mentallate in the evening, and why your cat gets the zoomies just as you're going to bed. They are crepuscular.
Its like how the amount of left handed people "suddenly" increased when it was no longer shunned by the church. Its not that more people decided to be left handed, but almost like more people dared to live as left handed lol
Also with the LGBT+ people , we didn't decide to be that , we just discovered it , and came out to the world because it's safer now than a few generations ago , and we won't forget what happened to those who died because of pure homophobia during the AIDS epidemic (poor Freddie Mercury) So it's not like "ThE GaY aRe mUlTiPlYiNg" There were always in there , and now there' just more people.

I worked on a covid ward throughout the pandemic. I cared for people with the virus, some of them so unwell that they went to intensive care or passed away because all options had been tried. There were people who still told me that covid is not real, the fact that I worked with people actively unwell with it did not matter to them. Invalidating the experience of someone who worked with very sick people, often having multiple people pass away in a single 12 hour shift is a crappy thing to do.

My big brother (trans) has been happily married to his husband for about 3 years. They've taught me a lot about LGBTQ+ and about marriage.

Crepuscular means "active at twilight periods which is around the times of dawn and dusk". This is usually used when it comes to talking about animals and when during the day they are active.
And crepuscular rays are what you get when the sun is behind the horizon, or behind some clouds close to the horizon, making it look like the rays are going up (as opposed to going down when the sun is high in the sky). In reality, of course, they always go in all directions... what changes is purely our point of view.

My favorite phrase taught to me from a highschool ap stats teacher is "Correlation does not equal causation" And the best example given was People with tvs have better health.

Money would be the hidden variable that is affecting health.
I remember reading years ago, that the original phrasing was "elimination of the weakest" not "survival of the fittest" but it was more exciting to consider yourself the fittest rather than just not the weakest.
The quote didn't even come from Darwin, it was from Herbert Spencer who was inspired by his book _On the Origin of Species_ . The word "the fittest" here means "the fittest to survive in the environment you inhabit"; for example, in a tidal pool where there are a lot of rock crevices, if you can hide in those crevices to avoid predators, then you would be the fittest animal in the tidal pool, even if you are not the fastest, strongest or biggest animal living there. As for the phase "elimination of the weakest", I don't know whether Darwin actually said or wrote that in his books (too lazy to move my ass to read one :| ); anyway, the word "weakest" here also has a different meaning than what we usually think of; using the previous example, by Darwin's definition of "weak" or "unfit", it would actually be the biggest animal that is the weakest, since it cannot hide in crevices to avoid predation.

With talking about height, I remembered a funny story: My high school used to have a partner school in Nepal, that we funded for 10-15 years and every few years a group of teachers and students would go to visit. Thing is, the female teachers that usually went were much taller than the male teachers and the male teachers didn't drink alcohol. So in this remote Nepalese village, people were under the impression that German men were smaller than German women and couldn't drink alcohol. It was a very small and very skewed sample.

Whenever I see older people saying, "I grew up with lead paint and I turned out fine" I just wonder if the lead microdosage was enough to cause them brain damage.

The fact that this subreddit was made in 2017 horrifies me. I thought this subreddit was only made in, like, 2020, when all of the antivaxxers started coming up with Covid conspiracies. Facebook has been a shitshow for even longer than I thought.
Oh, the Anti-vaxx knuckle-draggers have been around since at least the 90s. Dumbfucks have been fucking dumb since time immemorial; it's just that we get new flavours every once in a while!
Antivaxxers have existed for a long time, it is just the internet n stuff that is making them appear more apparent. The Covid Conspiracies likely did lead to a major uprise in antivaxxers, but there was also another very large uprise in antivaxxers back in 1998 when Andrew Wakefield made the article publication in The Lancet with the notorious claim that vaccines cause autism (primarily vaccines relating to mumps, measles, and rubella). Despite his previous blunder of a claim that the measles vaccine virus causes Crohns, the nature of the claim and the drumming up of drama and conspiracies and an easy "scientific" claim to latch onto led people to simply just accept the hypothesis as valid. This belief got reaffirmed when reports of samples containing measles virus came from autistic children, and so political leaders, organizations, and parents continued to push the claim. This claim would be disproven and retracted from The Lancet by 2005 that it was a mistake of research misconduct and false causality with B occurring after A on subjects who were sampled shortly before autism usually starts showing signs, and later tests found that samples taken from autistic children were not consistently greater in measles virus traces than samples from non-autistic children, and that despite more parents opting out of vaccines, autism was still drastically increasing. However the conspiratorial ideas already got implanted and accepted by many who refuse to relent with their beliefs. People will just continue to find new ways to villainize what they are rallying against with new claims in an effort to validate their beliefs, especially if they built their identity around it. The very nature of accepting that oneself is wrong is considered to be extremely difficult.

8:40 - "Life finds a way" - Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park 15:35 - Not to mention pregnancy complications that can result in a fetus being incapable of life while killing the mother (tubal pregnancy, etc.)
I grew up in a house with a Catholic mom and an atheist dad (bordering on Nihilist, tbh). This was actually a wonderful thing. Seeing how accepting and loving my mom was to my dad, and how tolerant my dad was to me and my mom (when I was a Christian, before I became disillusioned) actually gave me the framework for how I judge all mixed faith relationships/conversations/debates. If you approach it with love and understanding on both sides, then you can see that even the most polar opposite of people will have shared beliefs. I wish everyone could have this perspective. Okay! Pseudo-Philosophical rant over lol
i wish my family could be like that. My best religious experience was with Hindus, I lived with a couple at one point and fully participated in the festival of lights but as an atheist. There was a part were everyone went around with red paste and would mark one anothers forehead, religious people would get a religious blessing, like may a specific god bless you or something. I and others got secular blessing, do well on your next test, make more money next year, love life stuff. Its the best mixed faith interaction I've ever had. I was very happy to be in that environment where it was fine to have personal differences and we respected one another. There was also really good food for like a week, can't complain. I think I never would have had an angry atheist phase if people could have more understanding like this.
I used to be christian too but also became disillusioned and am now agnostic. I've had tons of really good conversations regarding religion in general (as well as human nature in general) with some of my teachers who are Christians.

It's easy to prove a point if you're looking for it. Proving a scientific hypothesis means canceling out all other alternatives, if you're only looking for things that support your claim and ignoring the rest of course you're going to think you're right. Confirmation bias is a crazy thing.

33:30 It's called the 'waiting time problem' and it is not valid, mainly for two reasons: 1) you don't have to have a _specific_ series of mutations - many structures can fulfill the same purpose (for instance, hemoglobin have 146 amino acids, 9 are the same throughout all species); 2) there's something call sexual crossover which allows mutations from different people to combine in their offspring. The channel Creation Myths (run by a geneticist) has a video on why it's not a problem. Tellingly, young Earth creationists pretend there's no sexual crossover when they're pushing this myth and use rates of sexual crossover that are hundreds of times those measured when they need to explain how the diversity of humanity came about from two people 6000 years ago.
In regards to the post saying "How can naturalists be anti-(forced naughties) if it’s a matter of 'survival of the fittest'?": Don’t most cases of survival of the fittest…result in the other sex consenting? Some animals evolve to become physically stronger to show that they can protect their partner and/or their children, Other animals evolved to be colourful to become conventionally more attractive to the potential partner, Some animals evolve more prominent traits, and appear to potential partners to have better genes for possible children. If "survival of the fittest" was literally just "Being big, powerful and aggressive results in getting to reproduce by forcing yourself on your potential partner", EVERY animal would end up big, powerful and aggressive. But that’s not the case. "Survival of the fittest" is only about strength when it comes to protecting children, and is mostly about traits unrelated to brute strength, like intelligence, certain genetic advantages, and even just being conventionally attractive. You want an argument as for why so,some can believe in "survival of the fittest", but think it’s important both sexes consent? Look at pretty much ANY species that uses tactics to appeal to mates besides brute strength, because, if brute strength was the "best way" to reproduce, there’d be NO NEED for those other tactics. At least, that’s my thought on the matter.
about the "children didn't use to have seizures and allergies", it's also that MOST OF THOSE KIDS USED TO DIE EARLY. now we have the technology and medical advancement to help people with various conditions live longer

22:25 I've studies aeronautics and work on autopilot systems, and yeah, pilots (and autopilots) need to frequently do small adjustments down... and up, and left, and right. There are countless factors like wind and pockets of hot air, and limits to the precision of instruments, that would constantly impact the plane's trajectory if left unchecked. Think of it like driving your car on a straight road. If you let go of the wheel, you'll eventually run off the road.

Gayness is a personal preference, and after my examination it would appear that gayness is superior to straightness not that straightness is wrong. Opening a box with a box cutter is fine, there's nothing wrong with it - but using a well-made pocket knife would be sharper and can still be held in your hand easily and therefore would technically be a better option. But the box cutter is still valid. And just because that's the conclusion of my examination it does not mean that gayness is necessarily better, that's just how I interpret the data that I have gathered from the internet. But this is already off topic. Gayness is a preference, a orientational preference. This means that you have to have enough intelligence in order to consider one thing with another thing and then develop a preference because one is valued more highly. Therefore if you were supplied with the right wrong information or no information, or somehow were to acquire a proper mix of wrong and correct information- you should be able to use the computational power required to have a preference and apply it to vaccinations rather than orientation. However this is probably not what they meant going off of the information that I was able to answer and then process with my meat computers computational power as it is doing its thing in it's bone.

I love how they jump to "energy" as the reason for not mixing wool and linen in the same cloth, when there's the perfectly valid reason of "Wool and linen have different care requirements and react differently to washing so blending the two is just making your own life way more difficult than it needs to be."
Also, plant and animal based textiles are incredibly chemically incompatible and will basically destroy each other not only on the physical level due to friction and different reactions to moisture and heat but also the chemical level (altho that would take an entire lifetime of wearing) thanks to different pH levels (plant based fibers do best when they're slightly basic while wools and silk do best when acidic, pH around 5.5 for wool and I think around 4 for silk). The physics part also applies to mixing synthetic and natural or artificial fibers, although a lot of plastics also leech acids, which are highly destructive to all textiles
plus: it feels really weird. My aunt works for a high end clothing company and gave me some experimental industrial yarn that consisted of linen fibres interlaced with cashmere wool... and the cashmere fibres stick awkwardly out from the linen yarn. It gives the whole thing a slight halo like with most other goat- or yakhair yarn, while feeling like a potato sack. It obviously never got approved for use in the brand, because it was clogging up the knitting machines with cashmere fibres that came lose in clumps and got stuck frequently. I have an industrial spool with 2.2 kg of the stuff at home and don't know what on earth to make out of this yarn XD
Exactly! They also have entirely different properties. Linen is a summer fabric, best at keeping you cool, while wool is a winter fabric, best at keeping you warm. Wool fulls when washed (creates a kind of felt-like fabric) while linen just gets softer. You would never want to blend them because it just makes no sense.
the vibes are atrocious, but that's not the biggest issue here :)

I had my mind blown on the abortion discussion (I think it was by mama doctor jones) who pointed out that it doesn't matter if you consider a foetus a regular human person, because no other human person is entitled to use someone else's body to survive. We don't mandate kidney/liver donations or even blood transfusions, even though they're usually survivable and people die from the lack of them all the time, including children. I'd never thought of it that way and it surprised me I'd never heard that angle before.
not agreeing/disagreeing, but infants and to an extent toddlers depend on another body to survive.
@@CoreyMarinoGames They aren't endangering someone to survive, if you don't take care of your born baby, it won't kill You. In fact, that is where prolife really falls apart because they are concerned about the baby getting born... but after that they don't care about its doomed life. Pregnancy is a sacrifice that might kill the mother but if nothing else it changes the mother at a chemical level. So, a good mother can be a true hero... but not everyone is in the place where they are able to be that hero yet and forcing it is just asking for more damaged people in the world born to parent(s) unready/unwilling. This prolife ideal is sacrificing good people for potentially against all odds better people.
@@CoreyMarinoGames not really? They require care, sure, but not the physical body(parts) of another person (if you're talking about breastfeeding, formulas are a thing). And it also just strengthens the point that you can't force a person to give part of their body against their will, because having a child doesn't just involve the pregnancy, but everything afterwards as well.
My dad was the first person to tell me about that! Even a parent cannot next forced to surrender their blood or organs for their child outside the womb. We shouldn’t expect that for a “child” that can’t even breathe yet.
omg finally someone! it pains me that this isn't the default argument for pro choice. the definition of life and the edge cases are ineffective arguments because pro life isn't pro life it's barely even pro birth. it's pro "make only the woman suffer for the action that involves both the woman and the man"
My grandfather was a rural pediatrician in the 40s
Eventually move his practice to a psychiatric hospital where he treated pediatric patients
I was able to gain access to some of his published papers, and some thing I found incredibly fascinating was a paper that he wrote, essentially saying there are a bunch of diseases that were very common in farm children that all had similar affects on these children that he noticed throughout the state that he lived . Because the condition cleared itself in several weeks, no one was doing anything about it, and he was hoping that in years to come people would find a diagnosis and actually treat the children instead of just ignoring their condition.
Most people assumed that the children were faking it, or that the symptoms weren’t as serious as they were but essentially, my grandfather was able to put together that this was a serious illness that was affecting all of these children, and that more than likely adults have the immune system to fight it off where is children didn’t, and it was causing serious health concerns but no one would listen to him, but he just wanted to write a paper to let other doctors in the future understand how serious this condition was
The interesting thing to me is that there are several other articles linked to my grandfather’s paper about an actual diagnosis
Children absolutely were getting very sick with autism and all kinds of other things in the 20s 30s and 40s but most people just assumed children were exaggerating or they just beat them until children didn’t say anything
My grandfather was the kind of doctor that always listens to the children and with charmed kids until they trusted him and was a fascinating and charismatic pediatrician
I don’t have access to all of the things that he wrote but I do know that when he worked at the psychiatric ward, he had at least 15 autistic boys, and 12 autistic girls that he and my grandmother worked with on a daily basis
My grandmother was a sociologists for children
I don’t have a lot of access to her papers, but it seems she was working with transgender kids.
One of the papers that I found essentially said that she wanted the kids to live whatever way made them happy so she removed the restrictions, forcing them to live, according to their birth gender.
She changed the nursing staff, so that the nurses that were kind and affectionate were the only ones allowed to care for these children and encouraged female nurses to care for female identifying patients.
She said it was important for their modesty
The very end of her notation was that anyone who had a problem could deal with her personally
Knowing my grandmother, that was absolutely a threat😅
Knowing my grandparents were working so hard all the way back then to change everything we know about children today … and how backwards things are right now makes me want to cry
They worked so fucking hard to make life easier for children😢
My grandmother said to me once that no child should ever have to cry alone . She said in her old job she saw way too many children with broken hearts, too young to even express it and I don’t think I understood what she meant then.
But as an adult, I realize how tirelessly she worked for children, and it crashes me how her work has been undone just in my lifetime .
I don’t know what I can do to fix it, but I’ll never stop
My grandparents weren’t perfect people, but they fucking cared and so many people out here care

Your grandparents were fucking awesome.
This is beautiful. It also breaks my heart to know that a lot in the scientific field is just ignored or devalued because of ignorant hateful people. It really has always been a choice to be a bigot, your grandparents are evidence of that
Your grandparents sound awesome. Is the access thing just because you don’t have access to a university library these days? (If so, I’d be happy to help!)

Just because I've encountered the Mixed Fabrics thing, here goes:
The only mixed fabrics in that culture were used to make priest's robes. So the wearing of "mixed fabrics" can be interpreted as "priestly garb". So the crime was trying to pass yourself off as a priest and abusing that authority.
BTW my polyester cotton blends don't vibrate. Too bad. That'd be fun with underwear.
Okay, here's the thing. It was used for the high priest's belt, and the reason why is that that belt was highly embroidered and thus had a woolen backdrop with linen thread embroidery. It wasn't actually mixed in the first place. Also, mixing linen and wool is kind of a dumb idea- and that's the only thing the commandment prohibits. Other mixed fabrics are fine, just not linen and wool.
@Kathryn Elizabeth Honestly, it's more likely that it was a practical law enacted to stop frauds. It could've been that woolen clothes were very valuable among the herding Israelite tribes, while linen produced by nearby settled nations would be valued much less. So, some people would mix the wool and linen threads and try to sell the cheaper end product as the more valuable one. Because of this, the priests, who were the leaders of the Israelites, made a law about it. This caused the practice to stop, but since it was made by priests, it was encased in the Bible/Torah, and now, thousands of years later, some people with questionable common sense still adhere to it, because it's in their precious holy book, and nobody can question that, because something-something written by god and something-something hellfire and stuff.

Pardon me, I was super sick the past week (only just recently had the fever break) and. . .not entirely mentally present atm because of it, lol.
I left this comment though because I thought it would still be an interesting read(?) Again, sorry. Lol
@@Green24152 Ironically, "getting there" is the easy part.
Don't get me wrong, it's heavily math-intensive. There's a reason why "It's not rocket science" is a thing.
But when it comes to resources, very little is actually used once they get into orbit.
Most of a rocket's resources is used just to get it _off the ground._
There's a reason why the space shuttle's first stage was 3-4 times bigger than the shuttle itself, and it didn't even leave Earth's orbit. Now look at an Apollo rocket and realize that all but the very *_VERY_* tip of it is just fuel. And that was just to get it to the Moon. Meanwhile the fuel needed to get it from the Moon back to Earth was _also_ all in the very tip of the rocket. Pictures/videos don't do it justice, you have to see one in person to realize just how much fuel is used just to get it off the ground.
So when so much fuel is used for the first stage alone, that 10% _(Edit: the 10% refers to it increasing fuel needs by 10% if it lifted off in opposition to the Earth's rotation instead of in tandem)_ makes a *_huge_* difference. Which, in actuality, would equate to closer to 15% increase in fuel consumption due to the increased weight of the larger fuel tanks and extra fuel. The more fuel is added, the more fuel needs to be added.

Conspiracy theorists massively underestimate how hard it is for a bunch of people to cooperate on something and simultaneously keep it secret
Yeah like neither the EU nor the States if America can agree most of the times, like how would all the governments in the world do that😂
Seriously. Almost every crime ring documentary ends with "and then someone got [jealous/bored/greedy/felt bad] and the jig was up."
Groups of people can be mistaken, but a conspiracy? Even involving all pilots and I guess ship captains? What would be in it for them to keep up the lie?
@@AlakaxamM also not like some conspiracy folks couldn't just become captains or pilots, collect the evidence and let the "secret" out - if there was one.
There's a reason for the saying "two can keep a secret if one of them is dead". Like imagine how hard it is to keep something secret that 50.000 people already know of. Imagine like they all tell their parents and their partner, and boom secrets already out to 200.000 people
Lol no way
@@AlakaxamM There have also been studies done on actual conspiracies done by governments and the results showed the more people involved, the faster it will come out. They also forget stuff like Freedom of Information acts exist in most Western nations, MKUltra literally went public because a journalist figured out what public records to ask for.
the more complicated, the more steps, the more people...the more unlikely
The whole 'mixed fabrics' thing was probably originally a practical concern, because it's extremely hard to launder fabrics with two types of fibre (e.g. wool weft and linen warp) so that there's no damage to the fabric. You know how your grandma (or maybe mum) will go absolutely nuts if you put coloured and whites in the same load, even though modern detergents usually mean it's fine? It's the same thing. This was a concern up until the 20th century, but is largely forgotten now.
A lot of religious prescriptions are due to practical concerns. The dietary restrictions prescribed in Abrahamic religions are just ways to avoid disease:
- No eating carnivores. An animal that eats other animals is far more likely to be diseased, since its prey can pass on any illness.
- No pork. Pork is an extremely dangerous meat for humans, and the only reason the pork we can buy now isn't dangerous is because of modern agriculture and our ability to test for the pathogens and treat the meat to be safe (compliant with food standards) before it reaches the consumer.
- Completely drain the blood of an animal you intend to eat. It's much less likely that you'll contract a bloodborne illness from eating an animal if you drastically reduce the amount of its blood that you're consuming.
Obviously this isn't real evidence of divine creator, but instead a testament to just how much we were able to figure out from our combined anecdotal experiences without knowing the specific mechanism of _why_ disobeying these restrictions made you sick.
Except it was even more important in the preindustrial era because cloth was *insanely* valuable, mostly due to how labor intensive and time consuming it was to make it, not to mention that various stages required specialized skills. There's a reason multiple royal families throughout the medieval and renaissance eras counted things like tapestries as huge parts of their accumulated wealth, not just gold/gems.

I enjoyed that "life begins at conception" thought experiment. I have always liked to equate a woman being forced to bring a life into this world despite the health risks like this... You can live without one lung, you can live without one kidney, you can live without half your liver, so if someone will die without them they should be able to take them from you, right? Most people say no.
Also, if life begins at conception, every woman on earth would be in prison, because ~⅓ of all pregnancies are terminated naturally for some reason or another, most so early in the process that a lot of women don't even realise they were technically pregnant for two or three days...

As a person who didn’t start to realize I was gay until I was 27 and that I have autism until I was 30, I fully endorse comparing those two things in regards to why there are “more” of those people now. I was socialized to think I was straight and science didn’t understand autism well enough. Both of those things were always true of me and if I had been born generations ago I probably never would have realized either of them.
Same for me as a trans person. I don’t think I would have realized that I’m a man if it weren’t for me daydreaming about medically transitioning. If that wasn’t available to us today, I don’t think I would have ever understood myself fully.
Same, pansexual with Asperger's here, all figured out about the same age as you

@@Mirrima Hey, just so you know Asperger’s is an outdated term that many are trying to stop the use of due to its connection to notsees. Same with functioning labels like high and low. You can just say you’re autistic. Not trying to be mean just thought I’d share some knowledge that you didn’t have before.
I was diagnosed with autism at 25 and didn't figure out that I was asexual until I was almost 40. I don't know why but ever since I figured this out I've been hit on an inordinate number of times. It's not impossible to get to me but it is not very likely for 99%. I just find it strange how it works out in the end.

The term, "crepuscular" referrs to the time around sunrise/sunset, it is most often used to refer to animals who are active during this time as opposed to being noturnal or diurnal. this is the reason your pet rabbit starts going mentallate in the evening, and why your cat gets the zoomies just as you're going to bed.

Fun fact: many symptoms of a house haunting can in fact be solved with simple house maintenance issues. The faulty electrical transponder or what ever Click mentioned giving headaches and a general feeling of discomfort is one of the signs people mistake for haunting. Bad electrical and plumbing are top on the list of reasons people think there are ghosts in the home.
I wish the term "Ghost" became less supernatural because I've seen things I can't explain in my house thrice and the best approximation I have for what I've seen is "Ghost" I do believe there is an explanation but until I figure out what happened how am I supposed to explain to people what I've seen?
Gas leaks and mold are also mistaken for hauntings, because they cause things people think are ghosts.
Also carbon monoxide poisoning, it causes bad sleep and the feeling of a heavy weight on your chest.

My favorite phrase taught to me from a highschool ap stats teacher is
"Correlation does not equal causation"
And the best example given was
People with tvs have better health. Its not because they have more tvs that makes them have better health, its the fact they have the money for most of the health care needed that makes them healthier. Money would be the hidden variable that is affecting health.
These people must be constantly miserable. How can you be sane with such mindsets?
That's the neat part: You can't!
I remember reading years ago, that the original phrasing was "elimination of the weakest" not "survival of the fittest" but it was more exciting to consider yourself the fittest rather than just not the weakest.
Survival of the reasonably adequate. Evolution is a very "meh" process. "You? Eh, I guess you can live. This time, anyway."
The quote didn't even come from Darwin, it was from Herbert Spencer who was inspired by his book _On the Origin of Species_ . The word "the fittest" here means "the fittest to survive in the environment you inhabit"; for example, in a tidal pool where there are a lot of rock crevices, if you can hide in those crevices to avoid predators, then you would be the fittest animal in the tidal pool, even if you are not the fastest, strongest or biggest animal living there.
As for the phase "elimination of the weakest", I don't know whether Darwin actually said or wrote that in his books (too lazy to move my ass to read one :| ); anyway, the word "weakest" here also has a different meaning than what we usually think of; using the previous example, by Darwin's definition of "weak" or "unfit", it would actually be the biggest animal that is the weakest, since it cannot hide in crevices to avoid predation.

With talking about height, I remembered a funny story: My high school used to have a partner school in Nepal, that we funded for 10-15 years and every few years a group of teachers and students would go to visit. Thing is, the female teachers that usually went were much taller than the male teachers and the male teachers didn't drink alcohol. So in this remote Nepalese village, people were under the impression that German men were smaller than German women and couldn't drink alcohol. It was a very small and very skewed sample.

Dumbfucks have been fucking dumb since time immemorial; it's just that we get new flavours every once in a while!
It's kind of been a shitshow since 2006.
Antivaxxers have existed for a long time, it is just the internet n stuff that is making them appear more apparent. The Covid Conspiracies likely did lead to a major uprise in antivaxxers, but there was also another very large uprise in antivaxxers back in 1998 when Andrew Wakefield made the article publication in The Lancet with the notorious claim that vaccines cause autism (primarily vaccines relating to mumps, measles, and rubella). Despite his previous blunder of a claim that the measles vaccine virus causes Crohns, the nature of the claim and the drumming up of drama and conspiracies and an easy "scientific" claim to latch onto led people to simply just accept the hypothesis as valid. This belief got reaffirmed when reports of samples containing measles virus came from autistic children, and so political leaders, organizations, and parents continued to push the claim. This claim would be disproven and retracted from The Lancet by 2005 that it was a mistake of research misconduct and false causality with B occurring after A on subjects who were sampled shortly before autism usually starts showing signs, and later tests found that samples taken from autistic children were not consistently greater in measles virus traces than samples from non-autistic children, and that despite more parents opting out of vaccines, autism was still drastically increasing.
However the conspiratorial ideas already got implanted and accepted by many who refuse to relent with their beliefs. People will just continue to find new ways to villainize what they are rallying against with new claims in an effort to validate their beliefs, especially if they built their identity around it. The very nature of accepting that oneself is wrong is considered to be extremely difficult.

I grew up in a house with a Catholic mom and an atheist dad (bordering on Nihilist, tbh). This was actually a wonderful thing. Seeing how accepting and loving my mom was to my dad, and how tolerant my dad was to me and my mom (when I was a Christian, before I became disillusioned) actually gave me the framework for how I judge all mixed faith relationships/conversations/debates.

i wish my family could be like that. My best religious experience was with Hindus, I lived with a couple at one point and fully participated in the festival of lights but as an atheist. There was a part were everyone went around with red paste and would mark one anothers forehead, religious people would get a religious blessing, like may a specific god bless you or something. I and others got secular blessing, do well on your next test, make more money next year, love life stuff.
Its the best mixed faith interaction I've ever had. I was very happy to be in that environment where it was fine to have personal differences and we respected one another. There was also really good food for like a week, can't complain.
I think I never would have had an angry atheist phase if people could have more understanding like this.

My favorite part of the Eiffel tower thing is that that couldn't be the flat earth either, in order for it to qualify for flat earth you'd need to see the whole tower and importantly the bottom of the tower is blocked off by the horizon. Something that wouldn't be possible with flat earth theory
As a note, solar panels can't be turned off, they are basically magic rocks, you can't turn off a rock.
I have no words to express how i feel. Things arent going smoothly, now i almost lost my job today (they gave me this last chance thing) and man its just not good.
Then, click uploads and you just knoe that he will somehow make you feel better. Such wholesome vibes, valuable life lessons now and again and just overall his good mood.
Again, no words. Thanks click
Glad you find some comfort in these videos. You might be in a difficult life situation rn, but I wish u the best and hope it'll get better. Idk if anyone has told you recently, but I'm proud of u. The effort you put into everything you do, even if you might not see it rn. Yes I am a stranger on the internet who doesn't know you irl, but I still hope my comment made your day just a little bit better. Kind words don't cost anything, they are free, so I try to give them to people as often and as much as possible😊
Unfortunately that’s a mood. Click just makes life better
I would start looking for another job and prepare just incase as a precaution. Better to be prepared then caught off guard.
Wow thanks for all the replies. Helps a lot. Talked it through with my partner and i'm actually gonna quit the job today. Will be really awkward to do so, but besides the ruined work environment (in such a small company, finding out that people must have talked behind your back singles you our immediatly), some stuff that came up in that meeting was really not okay for them to get into.
They even hinted at thinking that i'm mentally ill and not capable of working, which is really none of their business. They even tried to gaslight me with some stuff which i only realized later on. Gonna get the hell out of there
@@hjue44 Sounds like a good choice to leave. Staying in a bad work environment will just ruin your sanity.
me: *desperately looking for something to eat chips to*
the click: ayeee here you go
This is actually me right now lmao
Me but with dinner
SAME
Same wow!
It's easy to prove a point if you're looking for it. Proving a scientific hypothesis means canceling out all other alternatives, if you're only looking for things that support your claim and ignoring the rest of course you're going to think you're right. Confirmation bias is a crazy thing.
The one near the end about the Liver killed me...the Liver is literally the body's sewage treatment plant
thx i hate how you said that :D but the truth tho
i am lactose intolerant and celiac and have a bunch of other allergies that almost killed me as a child. My dad, through me, realized he has many of these things and he passed them onto me but he just had to tough it out because his parents didnt care he was sick.
My dad is allergic to everything and of cause I inherited all of his allergies and almost died from them.
My sister and mum are only allergic to insect stings and bites, but reasontly my sister found out she's lactose intolerant in her 30s I'm also in my 30s (I'm 34 she's 33 18 months apart in age)
@@skootergirl22 the only reason we found out my illnesses when i was born was because i almost died, because if i hadnt been that sick, i probably would've dismiss it too like my dad did
My Mom is the same way with her mental health stuff :/
Every time someone goes, we didn’t use to have all these allergies/disorders/autism, I just think about how an old co-worker of mine had never had kiwis before and was given some to try and broke out in hives. How many people just died in the past and people were like, oh man, demons got him.
@@Nevertoleave I found out I'm allergic to mangos when I was like, 18. I'd never had them before, nor had I ever previously experienced my throat closing up and making it harder to breathe. I carry Epipens around now, all because I decided for once in my life to try a new food. :P
For the alien thing there’s the Zoo hypothesis that basically states that aliens are observing us like in Star Trek and won’t interact with us because they want us to go our own path like the prime directive in Star Trek. Than there’s also the Fermi paradox that states there’s a block that kills off a species before they can become advanced enough to go to other planets. That’s what I got for now at least.
33:30 It's called the 'waiting time problem' and it is not valid, mainly for two reasons: 1) you don't have to have a _specific_ series of mutations - many structures can fulfill the same purpose (for instance, hemoglobin have 146 amino acids, 9 are the same throughout all species); 2) there's something call sexual crossover which allows mutations from different people to combine in their offspring. The channel Creation Myths (run by a geneticist) has a video on why it's not a problem.
Tellingly, young Earth creationists pretend there's no sexual crossover when they're pushing this myth and use rates of sexual crossover that are hundreds of times those measured when they need to explain how the diversity of humanity came about from two people 6000 years ago.
That’s very interesting
In regards to the post saying "How can naturalists be anti-(forced naughties) if it’s a matter of 'survival of the fittest'?":
Don’t most cases of survival of the fittest…result in the other sex consenting?
Some animals evolve to become physically stronger to show that they can protect their partner and/or their children,
Other animals evolved to be colourful to become conventionally more attractive to the potential partner,
Some animals evolve more prominent traits, and appear to potential partners to have better genes for possible children.
If "survival of the fittest" was literally just "Being big, powerful and aggressive results in getting to reproduce by forcing yourself on your potential partner", EVERY animal would end up big, powerful and aggressive. But that’s not the case. "Survival of the fittest" is only about strength when it comes to protecting children, and is mostly about traits unrelated to brute strength, like intelligence, certain genetic advantages, and even just being conventionally attractive.
You want an argument as for why so,some can believe in "survival of the fittest", but think it’s important both sexes consent? Look at pretty much ANY species that uses tactics to appeal to mates besides brute strength, because, if brute strength was the "best way" to reproduce, there’d be NO NEED for those other tactics.
At least, that’s my thought on the matter.
I still wear a mask every day and I get sick LESS often than I did before

I love using balls.
Bro the seatbelt stuff makes me think of when Grant from Jurassic park ties his two “female” belts together, creating a safe seatbelt

35:48 these conspiracy theories are beginning to sound more and more like the world building promt in a fantasy novel
You can't use reason to get someone out of a position they didn't use reason to get into.
"Even Greece figured this out USING STICKS!!!"
-Mark the Click, 2022
Great day to be Greek! Feeling so proud of my ancestors today!
about the "children didn't use to have seizures and allergies", it's also that MOST OF THOSE KIDS USED TO DIE EARLY. now we have the technology and medical advancement to help people with various conditions live longer
Let's be honest; we all wish Click Academy was an acceptable degree to put on a resume
Why not add it to there? :)
Click I know you make your videos for entertainment and light hearted purposes but I honestly watch you because of your intelligence. You don't just tear people apart and go 'ha ha ur so dum!' I appreciate that you work in actual science and common sense arguments in an attempt to educate your audience. Even if you get ONE PERSON to really think about these shenanigans, that's a win in my book. Keep up the amazing work.
22:25 I've studies aeronautics and work on autopilot systems, and yeah, pilots (and autopilots) need to frequently do small adjustments down... and up, and left, and right. There are countless factors like wind and pockets of hot air, and limits to the precision of instruments, that would constantly impact the plane's trajectory if left unchecked. Think of it like driving your car on a straight road. If you let go of the wheel, you'll eventually run off the road.
There is, however, something else that needs to be adjusted on long trips: gyroscopes. 3D gyroscopes need to (and do) get adjusted, otherwise "west" eventually points up.
The "Floods myth" actually disproves the person's theory directly on the map they used: if the flood had happened, you'd also see flood myths/stories in the middle of every continent, not just where land meets see. I love it when they do all the work and I can just point out how dumb it is lmao
I deeply wish they would have replied with the fact that so are myths depicting "dragons" also featured across most continents, if flat earth is true then where's my dragon? WHERE IS HE??
@@BumbleDoom We can actually trace "dragons" to dinosaur bones and large reptiles paired with low education, high blood alcohol sailors. Some dude finds dinosaur bones in 100 CE and he's gone think he found some mythical beast and more must be out there somewhere.. and get enough drunken idiots claiming they fought a dragon after their first encounter with a crocodile or komodo dragon, it makes sense why it got around. Same with most cultures having at least one fish based myth, you know a fisherman started them with "it was 20 ft long I swear" and a thousand years of drunken story tellers adding a little extra.
There are flood myths all over the world. Same for dragons, and we see giant lizard like skeletons all over the world.
You look at a giant tooth or skull and tell me what animal that was without having knowledge beforehand
@@Darealcyclic Except that Africa barely has any flood myths, and where there are flood myths.. just so happened to be known flood plains.
As someone with psoriasis, I died inside a little more at your attempt of pronouncing it.
That’s okay. I’ve learned to just take a deep breath on some of the English words he pronounces….creatively. Did you know he’s dyslexic (according to one bio)?
PS….though I was amused that he had no problem with “chlorofluorocarbons”.😂
@@GrumpyOldFart2 hes also said he is dyslexic and described his experiences with it in multiple videos. :)
Lol English isn't his primary, but it is kind of funny that he can read more complex words, but trips up on the ones we might think are easier. The brain is an interesting little blob
I'm going to try guessing the pronunciation... sor-e-ass-is??
