    Considering how good of a tool humor is for teaching, having a series that is largely compilational memes but with some educational content sprinkled in is actually pretty valuable. Explaining things that are a part of a funny video or using them to lead into a story gives the twin benefits of positive reinforcement through humor and from visual stimulus. It's part of what makes more of the mainline series on this channel good, too. The only real difference is humor to educational content ratio, and it's not bad to have a ratio weighted with the former if it's more likely to catch the eye of someone looking for memes rather than longform content, or for someone with a gnat-like attention span (such as me; I love all the videos on the channel for different reasons, but it's a bit easier to focus on rapid-fire memetic stuff)

It's a well known effect causing up to a 1m drift for a 3km shot depending on the orientation of the earth's rotation and the direction of the shot.

    For the record, my daughter is 6 months old, she is my only child at the moment, but I am just going to wait for the day she complains about being cold. “Dad, it’s freezing in here!” And I’m going to say, “Go stand in the corner, it’s 90 degrees over there…” and then I’m going to watch her react in one of two ways, she’s going to look at me like, “What? How is it freezing on the couch, but 90 degrees on the other side of the room?” Or she’s going to get up to test it out. And either way, the joke I’ll be waiting 15 years to pull out will have been worth it. So thank you for this

    15:50 I know that feeling. I used to be in a medieval reenactment group, and since it was the early 2000s before all that historically accurate stuff had reached us, we naturally looked like 70s low fantasy movie versions of knights and dames and our "fights" were basically smashing swords into each other until one pretended to fall down and loose. We also used cheaply made, way too heavy stamped out sheet metal pieces for swords. And occasionally they broke. Like obviously they did. And one time a sword broke directly at the audience, flew right over the shoulder of a 5 year old girl and burried itself in the dirt. That was the day my mom, who had recently taken over the leading role decided, that this kind of "show fighting" had to stop for good. Even I felt that despite just being like 10 years old at the time.
