To be honest, you need to add the fact that you needed to be born on US soil after the US declaration of independence... which obviously rules out the first 6 or 7 presidents.
Martin Van Buren was one of three US presidents in my family the other two were the two Roosevelts . All were of Dutch ancestry . My family spoke Dutch for the first 6 generations they were in America . My ancestor who fought in the Revolutionary War was already a 6th generation American and he still spoke Dutch .

Martin Van Buren, the 8th US President, was born in 1782, six years after the Declaration of Independance (1776). So, he was the first President who was a natural born citizen of the United States of America.

The water "exploding" from heating it up in a microwave is true, but extremely unlikely to happen. It can happen because, unlike heating water up in the traditional way, microwaves work on all the water in the container at the same time and at the same speed. This means that no convection occurs in the water as the water heats up. Without convection, no boiling can happen so the heat gets trapped in the water and just builds up. The water can "explode" when you move the container, which creates convection in the water and allows for the instantaneous release of all the extra heat (i.e. energy) that's been storing up in the water. The explosion is basically the water boiling over all at once. It rarely happens because, even though the microwave works this way, the container used to hold the water usually has some imperfection, a scratch or a bulge, that alters the rate of heating in the area around the imperfection to permit the water to boil. And these imperfections don't need to be large, or even perceptible to us. It's almost impossible to buy a mug, cup, glass, bowl, etc. that doesn't have them already at purchase. And even if they somehow didn't have them, they would develop them after a few regular uses of the item. And if you're still concerned about it happening, just put a toothpick in the water while it's in the microwave. The toothpick simulates the imperfections in the container and allows for boiling to occur while the water is being microwaved.
My understand is it is more likely to happen with Distilled water since it doesn't have imperfections (additives) in the water itself. I might be wrong but I thought it was on an episode of Mythbusters.

You take the water out of the microwave and it looks like it got warm, but not boiling.

If Squirrels get very fat before winter, then it'll a long, cold winter. If they are skinny, it'll be a mild winter. Some birds will leave their babies abandoned in nests so they can fly south early and that's how hurricane season can be foreseen as coming early. A certain type of bean, when split open has either a fork, knife or spoon shape found inside of it. Spoon means a lot of snow (like a shovel for snow). Knife means cold (so cold the air cuts like a knife). And the fork for a mild winter. 18. You're close with "that's the whole family" comment. Some customs are made so that the child will have the name of family members from generations before. It's a way for them to remember their lineage.

To be fair, door handles are designed to be easier for wiping away germs by being made of products that are less porous. While cell phones have a lot of nooks and crannies that dirt and germs can collect in (speaker, charger, microphone and such). 8. Snakes can swim up your toilet. There is no flap or cap that stops the water from the bowl to the drain. It's a combination of weight and gravity that makes it flush. Look online or even at your own commode and you will see it just has an S shape. 6. The government was so swarmed about the possibility of a zombie apocalypse f4om people that they actually drafted a plan just in case that scenario actually occurs. 4. The local authorities believed that the complaint was about people who had the name Beavers and not the actual animals. It's been a joke ever since. Love watching your vids!
Actually, for #10, if you consider the name Terra instead of Earth (both names for our planet), Terra was short for the Roman Goddess Terra Mater. It's also an alternative name for the Greek goddess Gaia.
Van Buren was first president born as an American citizen. Obviously the early presidents were born in America but as British subjects as America was a British colony before we achieved our independence and fought for it in the Revolutionary War.
My grandma would get snakes coming out her drains frequently enough that she would only mention it in passing, no big deal. This was in rural Illinois on a well.
The snakes in toilets thing... true. My grandparents had problems with water moccasins (highly venomous snakes) and when we'd visit the farm we were always warned, "Look in the toilet before you sit." Not only snakes in the bowl, but spiders would hide under the toilet seat, so even us girls had to lift the toilet seat to look and make sure no spiders were under there. And yes, both happened. I almost sat on a toilet with a brown recluse hidden under the rim of the toilet seat, and my brother had to shout to Grandpa about a snake in the toilet. I'm surprised he didn't also mention alligators, but that might just be a Florida problem.
What they're saying: Ryan Goodman of Critter Control, tells Axios that iguanas aren't the only creatures known to get into people's plumbing: He's had to remove rats and snakes from toilets before. "We're in South Florida. There's wildlife everywhere," he says. May 31,2023
You're probably okay with microwaving water if your glass has wear scratches. When microwaves first came out they recommended putting a stir stick or a skewer in the glass to have a place for bubbles to form which keeps the water from super heating.
Side comment: You've been asking for comments that mention Portugal and I found one. K-Pop girl group Dreamcatcher has added Lisbon to their world tour. You have some time to review Dreamcatcher's discography to decide whether you want to go, and the Dreamcatcher fanbase will watch reaction videos.
Snakes can come into your septic/sewer system if it is not closed off using underground fill line. If it is an open pipe sticking out of the ground or open to the outside they can come into your system from the opening of the pipe.
What happens with the water is that the container it's being heated in has few or no imperfections. That means if you bring it to a boil in the microwave, it won't and can't bubble. So when you move the mug, you create an imperfection in the surface tension of the water and all that energy that should have been expelled over time through boiling bursts out all at once, causing an explosion. It's not at all common, but it can happen.
Very true about Disney. But very few people know about the club in Disney. There’s one in Disney World as well. My daughter has works at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida for almost five years now. She the makeup artist for all of the characters / princesses/ princes in the park. She told me about this exclusive club. Disney is kept very tight lipped and very secret. The club only does have a very rich famous who’s who. I love that she works there , because we get into all of the park anytime, any day , my kids and grandkids get to have lunch and dinner with all of the Disney characters. Its so fun!
You can make water explode in the microwave, by sealing it in an airtight container. With an unsealed but lidded container, it can potentially knock the lid off. However, in a normal open-topped mug, it will of course just boil in the normal way. Though if the container is too close to full, it can boil over, in much the same way that a pan on the stove can do. With small quantities of water (up to a cup or so), the microwave is faster than an electric stove, because of the overhead time required to heat up the burner and pan; but in the long run, the stove can deliver significantly more heat, which should not be surprising given that it runs on twice the voltage and draws more current as well. For the same reasons, a hotpot or electric kettle is likewise faster than the stove for boiling small quantities of water but cannot keep up with the stove once it gets going. The dirtiest thing most people handle on a regular basis, is cash. Mousepads can also get pretty grody. Yes, Washington was American, by virtue of being a citizen at the time when the constitution was adopted, which is a case specifically covered by the constitution for obvious reasons. The video is wrong about this, period. Combined with age and residency, this constitutional citizenship made Washington eligible for the office of President. This is true of the first nine Presidents, and also Zachary Taylor. All the others, have been born on US soil *after* the adoption of the constitution, which also makes them American citizens. There have been various politically-motivated attempts to argue that certain candidates (most recently, Obama) were not natural born citizens on some grounds or another, but these arguments have all been specious and were thrown out by the courts. (However, there have been persons who potentially might potentially have been tapped for a Presidential nomination if they'd been natural born citizens, but they weren't, and so they were ineligible. Arnold "The Governator" Schwarzenegger is an example of this.) But there were no such arguments about Washington, because his case is specifically covered in the constitution, making him unarguably an American citizen under US law. *Most* toilet-snake stories are either fabricated, or so heavily embellished as to effectively be fiction; but yes, at a basic level snakes swimming into toilets it is a real phenomenon that does happen, very rarely. The black market for human organs has largely dried up over the last couple of decades, due to the ability to get it done legally in the PROC.

I love your reactions. The thing with the water exploding is that water actually NEEDS impurities for vapor bubbles to form so it can boil. If your water already has some impurities in it like sugar or salt it will probably just boil normally, but if very pure water is heated in the microwave, it can become superheated PAST the boiling point. And then if an impurity is added after it is removed from the microwave, it can all suddenly boil at once, exploding dangerously. This is pretty rare because most water contains some natural impurities that allow it to boil normally.
This happens with my coffee a lot. I'll nuke a cold cup of black coffee instead of making a fresh pot, and when I toss a spoon of sugar in, the change in boiling point makes it explode all over the counter.
There is a formula for the crickets to get the exact temperature but, the simplest method is to count the number of chirps in 15 seconds and add 40. This will get you within a few degrees Fahrenheit. I think the actual formula looks like this: T=temperature in F N= number of chirps per minute. T= 50+[N-40/4] *Crickets don’t chirp below 55F or above 100F
Maywood chemical works is the only company that can legally bring coca leaves into the USA. One of their customers is Coca-Cola. They process the leaves to make it safe for Coca-Cola to use.
1:58 I'm not sure what this has to with "25 Myths About America" but yes, water can explode in a microwave. I've had it happen to me more than once. Water is a very strange substance, in the grand scheme of things. When water vapor is in the air, it can't just condense in thin air. It has to be contacted by something, like a particle of dust, in order to turn back into liquid water. Boiling water has a related phenomenon. It can't boil unless its surface tension has be broken enough to let the would-be water vapor out. Water has very high surface tension, the second highest for known liquids. Without something to "fracture" that surface tension, the water in the microwave can become supeheated (well above 100°C). When the surface tension is later broken, such as by removing the container from the microwave oven, the water "explodes" with a sudden change to gaseous state. It's not a true chemical explosion, of course, but you can be splattered with some near-boiling water. Usually this all happens when the inside of the container (especially the top around the meniscus of the water) is VERY clean.
@@Ryarios I've had that happen twice, both times the water exploded as soon as I touched the handle and moved it a little. After the second time (from which I did get burned), I prefer to use a stove top kettle lol.
I use the microwave every morning for coffee, too. If you put a toothpick, chopstick, or some other wood object in the mug of water, it gives the bubbles something to form on. Most mugs already have some inconsistencies that bubbles will form so you know it's boiling. I have one mug that superheats, so I tend to not use it over the ones that boil normally without wood. Yes, in the Constitution, a requirement for becoming President is that they are born in the USA. Since the USA didn't exist until 1776 (or 1783 when the Constitution was ratified), all presidents before Van Buren were born under British rule.
Water can be super heated and super cooled. Water can boil at 100C and freeze at 0C. Distilled or water that's gone through a reverse osmosis filter are more likely to stay as a liquid bevause there are fewer impurities. Water in a microwave can explode because there's not as much variation in temperature which leads to less or no convection. One way to test this (BUT BE VERY CAREFUL!) is to microwave distilled or RO water then add sugar or salt. This will bring nucleation sites to the water allowing it to boil or possibly explode.
In the USA, most agencies adapted FEMA's continuity of operations (COOP). Continuity to ensure the continuation of essential functions across a wide range of emergencies and disruptions and is a part of the fundamental mission of all organizations. Pretty much no matter what the emergency is, the response will be the same.
Yes, Martin Van Buren was the first president who was a natural born citizen, being born in this country after it became a country. All prior presidents were born as British subjects and became, in effect, naturalized American citizens with the Revolution and our Constitution.
Sometimes one twin gets all the nutrients it needs, but the other twin is behind. I don't think it is common that they can stop the second twin from being born, so it probably needs help to thrive.
He's referring to microorganisms on phone devices. I wipe my phone with cleaning spray or rubbing alcohol. george Washington was a British subject. Martin Van Buren was the first President born in the US once the US became a nation.
It’s lethal for the deer eventually. In my state, during deer hunting season, all harvested deer in certain hunting zones have to have at least the head taken to designated testing sites to be tested for cwd.

I've always taken issue with the "celery is a negative calorie food" because it kind of violates the definition of food. Food is a thing you eat to obtain nutrients and energy. Celery pretty much only provides dietary fiber (aka cellulose you can't digest and thus provides neither nutrients nor energy) and vitamin....K? I'm 95% sure? which people accidentally get enough of and often don't even know is a vitamin because deficiencies are so uncommon (except for newborns). I therefore hold that since eating celery provides you neither necessary nutrition nor any calories, it isn't food and eating it should be considered pica the same way eating grass would be. Grass is actually similarly valuable, dietarily.
0:55. My understanding is that once police used to test the money of suspected drug users for drugs because they often used a rolled up bill as a straw to snort cocaine. They would prosecute them if the bill tested positive. To fight back, drug users decided that they would start using one bill once as a straw and put it back into circulation. After awhile, it spread because of users contaminating it and the contaminated bill spreading it to others. 8:27. I use alcohol wipes on my phone and iPad fairly often. Mainly to get the greasy fingerprints and grime off the screen and body. But, it’s still alcohol. 10:04. His wording sucks. He means born as an American. Washington was British until America became a country. In fact everyone alive on July 4th 1776 were not American. It didn’t exist yet. 15:27. If you don’t used tank chemicals and mold doesn’t grow, toilet tanks can be a source of emergency water too. It would probably my last choice, better than dying, I guess - maybe.
It is ABSOLUTELY true that Martin Van Buren was the first US President to be BORN as an American citizen. The previous Presidents had all been born British. FUN FACT : English was NOT Martin van Buren's native language. He grew up speaking Dutch. He was a descendant of the original Dutch settlers of New York.
But the guy said Van Buren was the first president born under the Constitution. Wrong. Van Buren was seven years old when the Constitution was written.
12 is true. It's because until 1776, we were part of Great Britain. Then once we declared our Independence, we became a country and anyone born after that date became an US citizen instead of a subject of the crown.
Water can overheat in a microwave. It happened to me. The water cause a burst when removed from the microwave. I got 2nd degree burns. I never heated water in it again.
I have had water exploding in the microwave. I heated it then my son who was cooking with me turned it back on thinking it needed to be heated and it heated 2 times and blew up all over the microwave.
24. Pure water has this issue. There needs to be impurities for bubbles to form around to boil. If you use a filter or bottled water, drop a few grains of salt in it right before heating it. [it's the reverse of freezing were water needs impurities to freeze or condense] Basically water is weird due to it's polarization and how it shuffles (2H²O)/(H³O+ OH-). Without that, it would be a gas at room temperature and it's freezing point lower than C0² 22 is incorrect. Bad experiment is bad.
George Washington was born before the U.S. gained independence from the British. The colonies were still under British rule, so perhaps he was a British citizen until July 4, 1776, when the U.S was born. I guess that's what he meant.
The first seven presidents were all born British subjects (not citizens). That's why there's that wording in the Constitution about presidents being natural-born Americans.
My mother had a aunt who had all of her descendants, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and so on legally added to her own name. I'm not sure how many there was but it was close to twenty
I believe all residents of the former colonies at the time of signing of the Constitution automatically became American citizens, the Constitution itself does say the President must be a "natural born citizen" and whether they were that, given the country didn't exist at the time of their birth, could probably have been challenged. Then we couldn't have had a President until 35 years after the signing of the Constitution because that's another requirement--that the President be 35 years old.
Celery is a "negative calorie food": Probably not. You use energy (measured in calories) to breathe, for your heart to beat, your brain to function etc even lying in bed. Doctors figure those functions take just over 1000 calories per day. Call it 1200, so that's about 50 calories per hour. If you ate 50 calories worth of celery (around 300 gms--⅔ lb--according to the video) every hour, your intake and use would be just about in balance not counting the energy to chew and digest the celery which is probably negligible. If you are less celery than that you'd be in deficit. The video says the person in question burned 72 calories while eating the celery. That probably just means it took him close to 1.5 hours to eat it. It would take me days because I don't like raw celery although oddly I love cooked celery.
The length of Picasso's name while rare is not unusual I have seen long names like his before in doing genealogy from Mexico and New England. The Ruiz Y Picasso at the end of his name I believe are the surnames of his parents. Crickets indeed chirp louder and faster as the temperature goes higher.
Water won’t explode upon superheating in the microwave if the vessel you heat the water in has surface defects/bumps that cause bubbles to form. Most ceramic mugs have some small defects inside, so unless you’re heating water for a ridiculously long time AND you’re banging the mug down on the counter after taking it out of the microwave, you should be fine.
When I was stationed at Ft Huchuca, AZ while in the Army I saw a plan for if the town of Sierra Vista attacked the Army post. Was it seriously thought that this would happen? Nope .. but to be fair would have been more probable than a zombie incursion. The plan .. in a similar way that there are plans for response if the US is invaded by Canada, Mexico etc. These are often written up by young officers who are tasked with writing the plan .. not so much because zombies may attack the pentagon or the town next to an Army post will attack .. but because it is a sort of schooling for these officers .. and the plan would be critiqued by older officers .. like a paper written in University. It is education and training.
It is very true that snakes will find their ways into your house through a toilet. I had a Diamondback (very dangerous snake ) do that to my houses and it went into my bedroom. l wasn't afraid of snakes till then and the biggest reason is because the snakes was pregnant and had nightmares about them crawling all over me. That didn't stop till I moved out of the house.
George Washington was born in the US when it was under British control and rule. Martin van Buren was the first president born after the US Constitution was written and signed. Martin van Buren real birth name was Maarten van Buren. Maarten is Dutch for Martin
As to the snake thing, I wasn’t aware it was a rare thing because one summer a snake deposited her eggs in our plumbing and for days after they started hatching we had baby snakes coming up in our sinks and toilets 😒. I remember it clearly because I was 18 at the time and was the child assigned to find and dispose of them every morning. 🤢
That crickets can tell the temperature is true ... but good luck singalling the chirps of one cricket out from the multitudes. Woud work, I suppose, for those that get 8nto your house, but they woyld only be telling you the temperature of your room, which you kind of already know.
#12 is true-ish. He was the first president to be born as a US citizen. All previous were born to a different country and then became citizens as the country was born.
Probably shouldn't say this, but our world is named Terra. Earth (dirt/clay) comes from the the god Ea. Henceforth Earth. Look it up. OH, BTW Congrats on being a NEW DAD!

It's a way for them to remember their lineage. Not uncommon for them to have a lot of names just like in some cultures it's not uncommon to just have one or 2 names.
16. NOBODY TELL JOHN WICK!!!
14. To be fair, door handles are designed to be easier for wiping away germs by being made of products that are less porous. While cell phones have a lot of nooks and crannies that dirt and germs can collect in (speaker, charger, microphone and such).
8. Snakes can swim up your toilet. There is no flap or cap that stops the water from the bowl to the drain. It's a combination of weight and gravity that makes it flush. Look online or even at your own commode and you will see it just has an S shape.
6. The government was so swarmed about the possibility of a zombie apocalypse f4om people that they actually drafted a plan just in case that scenario actually occurs.
4. The local authorities believed that the complaint was about people who had the name Beavers and not the actual animals. It's been a joke ever since.
Love watching your vids!
Actually, for #10, if you consider the name Terra instead of Earth (both names for our planet), Terra was short for the Roman Goddess Terra Mater. It's also an alternative name for the Greek goddess Gaia.
"Snakes that swim through water, thats not crazy. The pentagon preparing for zombies? Not crazy at all."
"Lets continue"
🤣🤣
We had a state senator file a lawsuit against God.
I think the zombie thing should've been #1 since I knew about the snakes and crickets (I'm old)
Videos don't do Yosemite justice. It's by far the best. It's like you're in your own world when you're down in the canyon.
Van Buren was first president born as an American citizen. Obviously the early presidents were born in America but as British subjects as America was a British colony before we achieved our independence and fought for it in the Revolutionary War.
My grandma would get snakes coming out her drains frequently enough that she would only mention it in passing, no big deal. This was in rural Illinois on a well.
What does most of these have to do with America?
Especially the Chinese eating dogs!
It doesn’t , he wrote the title in his reaction video, in the original video, it doesn’t mention America.
@@marydavis5234 Then he's too dependent on specifically American viewers.
I love how the guy pronounced "Uranus." Pretty much sums up the entire video.
The snakes in toilets thing... true. My grandparents had problems with water moccasins (highly venomous snakes) and when we'd visit the farm we were always warned, "Look in the toilet before you sit." Not only snakes in the bowl, but spiders would hide under the toilet seat, so even us girls had to lift the toilet seat to look and make sure no spiders were under there. And yes, both happened. I almost sat on a toilet with a brown recluse hidden under the rim of the toilet seat, and my brother had to shout to Grandpa about a snake in the toilet.
I'm surprised he didn't also mention alligators, but that might just be a Florida problem.
I think i enjoy your reactions more than the videos! You're too funny!! And I agree with you about everything 🤯
Love your channel. Love your humor , kind of cynical sarcasm and your head shaking at some of the crazy western news that you discover. Cheers! 😎
What they're saying: Ryan Goodman of Critter Control, tells Axios that iguanas aren't the only creatures known to get into people's plumbing: He's had to remove rats and snakes from toilets before. "We're in South Florida. There's wildlife everywhere," he says. May 31,2023
You're probably okay with microwaving water if your glass has wear scratches. When microwaves first came out they recommended putting a stir stick or a skewer in the glass to have a place for bubbles to form which keeps the water from super heating.
"It was Batman" classic !! 😂😂
The pentagon has the most bathrooms in any public building. It was built when it had segregated bathrooms colored and non colored.
I missed the 1950s and 60s the good old days😂😂😂
It also has a lot of zip codes.
Side comment: You've been asking for comments that mention Portugal and I found one. K-Pop girl group Dreamcatcher has added Lisbon to their world tour. You have some time to review Dreamcatcher's discography to decide whether you want to go, and the Dreamcatcher fanbase will watch reaction videos.
Snakes can come into your septic/sewer system if it is not closed off using underground fill line. If it is an open pipe sticking out of the ground or open to the outside they can come into your system from the opening of the pipe.
What happens with the water is that the container it's being heated in has few or no imperfections. That means if you bring it to a boil in the microwave, it won't and can't bubble. So when you move the mug, you create an imperfection in the surface tension of the water and all that energy that should have been expelled over time through boiling bursts out all at once, causing an explosion. It's not at all common, but it can happen.
They should've used better shots of the redwood and sequoia parks. The vast forrests of such giant trees are hard to describe
Water needs to be distilled water to get super-heated in the microwave. Normal water has impurities that will cause it to boil.
Very true about Disney. But very few people know about the club in Disney. There’s one in Disney World as well. My daughter has works at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida for almost five years now. She the makeup artist for all of the characters / princesses/ princes in the park. She told me about this exclusive club. Disney is kept very tight lipped and very secret. The club only does have a very rich famous who’s who. I love that she works there , because we get into all of the park anytime, any day , my kids and grandkids get to have lunch and dinner with all of the Disney characters. Its so fun!
You can make water explode in the microwave, by sealing it in an airtight container. With an unsealed but lidded container, it can potentially knock the lid off. However, in a normal open-topped mug, it will of course just boil in the normal way. Though if the container is too close to full, it can boil over, in much the same way that a pan on the stove can do. With small quantities of water (up to a cup or so), the microwave is faster than an electric stove, because of the overhead time required to heat up the burner and pan; but in the long run, the stove can deliver significantly more heat, which should not be surprising given that it runs on twice the voltage and draws more current as well. For the same reasons, a hotpot or electric kettle is likewise faster than the stove for boiling small quantities of water but cannot keep up with the stove once it gets going.
The dirtiest thing most people handle on a regular basis, is cash. Mousepads can also get pretty grody.
Yes, Washington was American, by virtue of being a citizen at the time when the constitution was adopted, which is a case specifically covered by the constitution for obvious reasons. The video is wrong about this, period. Combined with age and residency, this constitutional citizenship made Washington eligible for the office of President. This is true of the first nine Presidents, and also Zachary Taylor. All the others, have been born on US soil *after* the adoption of the constitution, which also makes them American citizens. There have been various politically-motivated attempts to argue that certain candidates (most recently, Obama) were not natural born citizens on some grounds or another, but these arguments have all been specious and were thrown out by the courts. (However, there have been persons who potentially might potentially have been tapped for a Presidential nomination if they'd been natural born citizens, but they weren't, and so they were ineligible. Arnold "The Governator" Schwarzenegger is an example of this.) But there were no such arguments about Washington, because his case is specifically covered in the constitution, making him unarguably an American citizen under US law.
*Most* toilet-snake stories are either fabricated, or so heavily embellished as to effectively be fiction; but yes, at a basic level snakes swimming into toilets it is a real phenomenon that does happen, very rarely.
The black market for human organs has largely dried up over the last couple of decades, due to the ability to get it done legally in the PROC.
I don't know one American that uses cocaine. It's probably money coming from California😂😂😂
I do coming from someone that lives in Nebraska. Lol
@@dillonsronce2583 I'm sure there are some coke heads in my state too but I personally don't know any
highest illicit drug use in the US occurs in Vermont with over 21 % reporting usage in the last month, in California it's 15 %. I think DC has the most cocaine users.
Lol of course you don't know 400 million people what's you're point I've seen many people use cocaine especially when I was in my twenties and I was in the Coast guard millions use cocaine unfortunately
As a Christian no one has measured a soul, after you die you're body weighs less duh
I love your reactions. The thing with the water exploding is that water actually NEEDS impurities for vapor bubbles to form so it can boil. If your water already has some impurities in it like sugar or salt it will probably just boil normally, but if very pure water is heated in the microwave, it can become superheated PAST the boiling point. And then if an impurity is added after it is removed from the microwave, it can all suddenly boil at once, exploding dangerously. This is pretty rare because most water contains some natural impurities that allow it to boil normally.
This happens with my coffee a lot. I'll nuke a cold cup of black coffee instead of making a fresh pot, and when I toss a spoon of sugar in, the change in boiling point makes it explode all over the counter.
There is a formula for the crickets to get the exact temperature but, the simplest method is to count the number of chirps in 15 seconds and add 40. This will get you within a few degrees Fahrenheit. I think the actual formula looks like this: T=temperature in F
N= number of chirps per minute.
T= 50+[N-40/4]
*Crickets don’t chirp below 55F or above 100F
Maywood chemical works is the only company that can legally bring coca leaves into the USA. One of their customers is Coca-Cola. They process the leaves to make it safe for Coca-Cola to use.
I'm not sure if the video should be labeled 25 myths about America.
Right? So many of these have nothing to do with America.
Indeed
Agree❤❤
To be fair, the original video doesn't claim to be myths about America.
Probably for the algorithm
I like that you called the mythology gods "fictional characters". Like Mickey Mouse or something 🤣👍
1:58 I'm not sure what this has to with "25 Myths About America" but yes, water can explode in a microwave. I've had it happen to me more than once.
Water is a very strange substance, in the grand scheme of things. When water vapor is in the air, it can't just condense in thin air. It has to be contacted by something, like a particle of dust, in order to turn back into liquid water. Boiling water has a related phenomenon. It can't boil unless its surface tension has be broken enough to let the would-be water vapor out. Water has very high surface tension, the second highest for known liquids. Without something to "fracture" that surface tension, the water in the microwave can become supeheated (well above 100°C). When the surface tension is later broken, such as by removing the container from the microwave oven, the water "explodes" with a sudden change to gaseous state. It's not a true chemical explosion, of course, but you can be splattered with some near-boiling water. Usually this all happens when the inside of the container (especially the top around the meniscus of the water) is VERY clean.
I've had water "explode" In the microwave.
I’ve had water I heated in the microwave explode when I removed it too.
@@Ryarios I've had that happen twice, both times the water exploded as soon as I touched the handle and moved it a little. After the second time (from which I did get burned), I prefer to use a stove top kettle lol.
I use the microwave every morning for coffee, too. If you put a toothpick, chopstick, or some other wood object in the mug of water, it gives the bubbles something to form on. Most mugs already have some inconsistencies that bubbles will form so you know it's boiling. I have one mug that superheats, so I tend to not use it over the ones that boil normally without wood.
Yes, in the Constitution, a requirement for becoming President is that they are born in the USA. Since the USA didn't exist until 1776 (or 1783 when the Constitution was ratified), all presidents before Van Buren were born under British rule.
Water can be super heated and super cooled. Water can boil at 100C and freeze at 0C. Distilled or water that's gone through a reverse osmosis filter are more likely to stay as a liquid bevause there are fewer impurities. Water in a microwave can explode because there's not as much variation in temperature which leads to less or no convection. One way to test this (BUT BE VERY CAREFUL!) is to microwave distilled or RO water then add sugar or salt. This will bring nucleation sites to the water allowing it to boil or possibly explode.
In Australia, snakes in toilets are not uncommon.
What a nightmare
I knew it was true!I gave this comment a like, but only because
In the USA, most agencies adapted FEMA's continuity of operations (COOP). Continuity to ensure the continuation of essential functions across a wide range of emergencies and disruptions and is a part of the fundamental mission of all organizations. Pretty much no matter what the emergency is, the response will be the same.
I’ve drained a few water heaters, I wouldn’t drink the water that comes out of them 😅
Yes, Martin Van Buren was the first president who was a natural born citizen, being born in this country after it became a country. All prior presidents were born as British subjects and became, in effect, naturalized American citizens with the Revolution and our Constitution.
Peanut butter is what makes celery worth eating. Dipping the celery into peanut butter makes it edible.
Sometimes one twin gets all the nutrients it needs, but the other twin is behind. I don't think it is common that they can stop the second twin from being born, so it probably needs help to thrive.
Your skeptical face kills me 😂
He's referring to microorganisms on phone devices. I wipe my phone with cleaning spray or rubbing alcohol.
george Washington was a British subject. Martin Van Buren was the first President born in the US once the US became a nation.
"And they're part of the secret club in Disyneyland" lmao
there is a current deer disease in US called zombie deer, which the cdc say can possibly infect human. not dead, just alive with no normal responses
It’s lethal for the deer eventually. In my state, during deer hunting season, all harvested deer in certain hunting zones have to have at least the head taken to designated testing sites to be tested for cwd. I don’t think they do anything with the information other than for statistics. I don’t think the results are instantaneous.
Haha that snake reaction priceless. 😂 && your eyes 👀
That is how Chow came into the English language. The emperor would eat the chow dogs if someone broke in and stole any treasure they were guarding.
That's ridiculous. It comes from chow-chow, which is pickled cabbage preserves.
Snakes are not the only animal that can swim up the pipes to your toilet, so can rats. 🐀 Keep your toilet lids closed. 😂
What if something comes up the drain while the toilet is in use?
I've always taken issue with the "celery is a negative calorie food" because it kind of violates the definition of food. Food is a thing you eat to obtain nutrients and energy. Celery pretty much only provides dietary fiber (aka cellulose you can't digest and thus provides neither nutrients nor energy) and vitamin....K? I'm 95% sure? which people accidentally get enough of and often don't even know is a vitamin because deficiencies are so uncommon (except for newborns). I therefore hold that since eating celery provides you neither necessary nutrition nor any calories, it isn't food and eating it should be considered pica the same way eating grass would be. Grass is actually similarly valuable, dietarily.
0:55. My understanding is that once police used to test the money of suspected drug users for drugs because they often used a rolled up bill as a straw to snort cocaine. They would prosecute them if the bill tested positive. To fight back, drug users decided that they would start using one bill once as a straw and put it back into circulation. After awhile, it spread because of users contaminating it and the contaminated bill spreading it to others.
8:27. I use alcohol wipes on my phone and iPad fairly often. Mainly to get the greasy fingerprints and grime off the screen and body. But, it’s still alcohol.
10:04. His wording sucks. He means born as an American. Washington was British until America became a country. In fact everyone alive on July 4th 1776 were not American. It didn’t exist yet.
15:27. If you don’t used tank chemicals and mold doesn’t grow, toilet tanks can be a source of emergency water too. It would probably my last choice, better than dying, I guess - maybe.
It is ABSOLUTELY true that Martin Van Buren was the first US President to be BORN as an American citizen. The previous Presidents had all been born British. FUN FACT : English was NOT Martin van Buren's native language. He grew up speaking Dutch. He was a descendant of the original Dutch settlers of New York.
But the guy said Van Buren was the first president born under the Constitution. Wrong. Van Buren was seven years old when the Constitution was written.
Some of these takes are more of the whole World, than an American Myth anyway.
He wrote the title for his reaction video, in the original video, it is title 25 myths, no mention of America.
12 is true. It's because until 1776, we were part of Great Britain. Then once we declared our Independence, we became a country and anyone born after that date became an US citizen instead of a subject of the crown.
My son used to mircrowave water when he was younger and then one day it did explode. He doesn't do that anymore.
You count the number of cricket chirps per minute. Example, 70 chirps equals 70 degrees F. Don't know the formula for Celsius Celsius
I so agree with you. There's only 1 GOD.
CONGRATULATIONS on the New addition to your Family. Sending you your wife and new baby a warm hug 🫂.
Water can overheat in a microwave. It happened to me. The water cause a burst when removed from the microwave. I got 2nd degree burns. I never heated water in it again.
Earth?
Earth?
Might as well call it dirt!!
I have had water exploding in the microwave. I heated it then my son who was cooking with me turned it back on thinking it needed to be heated and it heated 2 times and blew up all over the microwave.
24. Pure water has this issue. There needs to be impurities for bubbles to form around to boil. If you use a filter or bottled water, drop a few grains of salt in it right before heating it.
[it's the reverse of freezing were water needs impurities to freeze or condense] Basically water is weird due to it's polarization and how it shuffles (2H²O)/(H³O+ OH-). Without that, it would be a gas at room temperature and it's freezing point lower than C0²
22 is incorrect. Bad experiment is bad.
Albert Einstein did play the violin when he wasn't doing physics equations.
George Washington was born before the U.S. gained independence from the British. The colonies were still under British rule, so perhaps he was a British citizen until July 4, 1776, when the U.S was born. I guess that's what he meant.
The first seven presidents were all born British subjects (not citizens). That's why there's that wording in the Constitution about presidents being natural-born Americans.
😂😂😂😂😂 oh, I love you! ❤️ your reactions are amazing! I love it!
snakes and sometimes rats have swam up into toilets. Always keep the lid down.
My mother had a aunt who had all of her descendants, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and so on legally added to her own name. I'm not sure how many there was but it was close to twenty
Thanks ❤Much Love! #Michigan
I believe all residents of the former colonies at the time of signing of the Constitution automatically became American citizens, the Constitution itself does say the President must be a "natural born citizen" and whether they were that, given the country didn't exist at the time of their birth, could probably have been challenged. Then we couldn't have had a President until 35 years after the signing of the Constitution because that's another requirement--that the President be 35 years old.
I agree with you about the Einstein thing. Anyone who knows basic info on him knows he played violin. Not a myth.
Celery is a "negative calorie food": Probably not. You use energy (measured in calories) to breathe, for your heart to beat, your brain to function etc even lying in bed. Doctors figure those functions take just over 1000 calories per day. Call it 1200, so that's about 50 calories per hour. If you ate 50 calories worth of celery (around 300 gms--⅔ lb--according to the video) every hour, your intake and use would be just about in balance not counting the energy to chew and digest the celery which is probably negligible. If you are less celery than that you'd be in deficit. The video says the person in question burned 72 calories while eating the celery. That probably just means it took him close to 1.5 hours to eat it. It would take me days because I don't like raw celery although oddly I love cooked celery.
16. I spent some time in Southeast Asia can say for a fact that dog is a pretty good meal.
Of course snakes can swim up toilets! That’s not at all unususual, especially in Australia.
The length of Picasso's name while rare is not unusual I have seen long names like his before in doing genealogy from Mexico and New England. The Ruiz Y Picasso at the end of his name I believe are the surnames of his parents. Crickets indeed chirp louder and faster as the temperature goes higher.
Water won’t explode upon superheating in the microwave if the vessel you heat the water in has surface defects/bumps that cause bubbles to form. Most ceramic mugs have some small defects inside, so unless you’re heating water for a ridiculously long time AND you’re banging the mug down on the counter after taking it out of the microwave, you should be fine.
Yes the first 7 presidents were born before we had independence.
When I was stationed at Ft Huchuca, AZ while in the Army I saw a plan for if the town of Sierra Vista attacked the Army post. Was it seriously thought that this would happen? Nope .. but to be fair would have been more probable than a zombie incursion. The plan .. in a similar way that there are plans for response if the US is invaded by Canada, Mexico etc. These are often written up by young officers who are tasked with writing the plan .. not so much because zombies may attack the pentagon or the town next to an Army post will attack .. but because it is a sort of schooling for these officers .. and the plan would be critiqued by older officers .. like a paper written in University. It is education and training.
It is very true that snakes will find their ways into your house through a toilet. I had a Diamondback (very dangerous snake ) do that to my houses and it went into my bedroom. l wasn't afraid of snakes till then and the biggest reason is because the snakes was pregnant and had nightmares about them crawling all over me. That didn't stop till I moved out of the house.
George Washington was born in the US when it was under British control and rule. Martin van Buren was the first president born after the US Constitution was written and signed. Martin van Buren real birth name was Maarten van Buren. Maarten is Dutch for Martin
Wrong. Martin Van Buren was born under the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution wasn't written until he was seven years old.
As to the snake thing, I wasn’t aware it was a rare thing because one summer a snake deposited her eggs in our plumbing and for days after they started hatching we had baby snakes coming up in our sinks and toilets 😒. I remember it clearly because I was 18 at the time and was the child assigned to find and dispose of them every morning. 🤢
That crickets can tell the temperature is true ... but good luck singalling the chirps of one cricket out from the multitudes. Woud work, I suppose, for those that get 8nto your house, but they woyld only be telling you the temperature of your room, which you kind of already know.
#12 is true-ish. He was the first president to be born as a US citizen. All previous were born to a different country and then became citizens as the country was born.
Leave a Lake. NO. Problem. William s

Probably shouldn't say this, but our world is named Terra. Earth (dirt/clay) comes from the the god Ea. Henceforth Earth. Look it up. OH, BTW Congrats on being a NEW DAD!
Ea was a Babylonian god, but the English word "earth" is not derived from this name. The similarity is a mere coincidence.
IIRC, Terra was simply the Latin name for earth.
George Washington was born in Virginia and at that time we were under British rule until America fought them in war. You have to be born in US to become president.
Brass doorhandles are antimicrobial/antibacterial.
He's wrong. Earth is named after Gaia, the mother of the first gods. Her name in the Roman mythos is Terra.
Also, our moon is named Luna and our sun is called Sol (hence the Solar system).

Correct! Eating celery burns more than used. Freaky right? Look at eating rabbit vs calories burned.
Burns more than used? You mean burns more than is consumed.
