Simons comment on the flat earthers is why I like him 😂
Agreed
Lmao the buzzfeed burn tho
Fake news
tee-hee!
These What If videos are always so much fun, since they cover such a variety of topics. Really enjoyed it.
Ana Freitas hi Ana. Out of interest, is Ana a derivative of Hanna?
So basically, if mosquitoes died out the world would be a less deadly place.
Make it happen! Rid the world of the hideous little pests!
it might get (more) over populated by humans though, because the nasty suckers are the most deadly creature to us
What if Simon had no hair on his face, but a long luxurious mane on his scalp?
Fat Tiger
Then he would be a hard rocker from the 80's.
Fat Tiger then we would call him Retsihw Nomis, because it would be Backwards Day.
...better yet a ponytail, and a fu-manchu mustache with a tiny chin beard...
I thought that first pic was him and not a scientist
@@BotanicManic1 He's NOT a scientist?!
This series has been a lot of fun to watch! Thanks for the cool vids, TopTenz!
Your new channel sounds really interesting. Gonna check that out, immediately. Thank you for all your amazing, informative, entertaining, educational, and thought-provoking videos. You guys are awesome.
WHY DO HIS SHIRTS FIT SO WELL? O.O
When the U.S did nuclear test on Bikini Atoll, it created SpongeBob and all the weird creatures he lives with.
Very Informative ......Thoroughly enjoyed this one
Love both your Channels, Today i found out and the Top tenz channels and subscribed both!
@1:58 Not only David Blaine, but the survivors of the U.S.S. Indianapolis were in the salty ocean water for just 3 days. In a documentary, one of the rescuers described, "I reached down to grab the fella by the arm, and all the skin came off in my hand. He made the most awful scream...I can still hear it to this day." Known as *desquamation.*
WAIT. what qualifies as a safe distance when blowing up a moon.
Patrick Smith Somewhere near mars probably
Novazues 1966 More like a planet similar to Earth or Venus in the same range as Mars on the other side of the sun.
TopTenz. maybe ?
I have heard that a guy called Hugo Drax wants to know. He was ranting about setting up a space station for world domination. Maybe he wants to blow up the moon as a stunt; maybe that would give him the title of "Moonraker".
That's easy. Do it during the day, when it's not up.
Woah. Totally trippy.
I like the way Canada is completely ignored in the Yellowstone Map.
nineteenthly me too. I don’t like thinking about Canada
What is canoda?
We’d be fine. Canadian winter for years. Hockey Night In Canada would be every night.
Underrated Content, first time I've seen one of these but I've been subbed a while
What if this comment got loved by Toptenz?
TopTenz Happy Christmas TopTenz
And it happened! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!
This is real quality content !
#3 - Aliens explode the moon - "Why are aliens jerks?" Ha ha!
I liked The Time Machine, but anyway.
Now I want to watch "The Time Machine"!
It was a pretty creepy movie in the theater, I couldn't finish it. I was like ten at the time, mind you.
Same
Frank McEvoy me too.
it was cool
"Fire all of your guns at once and explode into space" ~John Kay~
Need more Dakka!!!
Like a true nature's child I was born to be wild...
Glad to hear you're not a flat earther
This guy is just ageless. I can’t tell which videos are older
Helpful hint: In his oldest videos, Simon doesn't have a beard or glasses. He's just a pink egg that talks. It's like seeing him as a newborn.
#10 yes let's do it!! Mosquitoes are the worst!
genetic engineering baby, the most "humane" way of ridding of the suckers
Your Buzzfeed comment was priceless!
I must be weird.. I'm one of the 17 people who kinda liked that movie. :)
I am as well.
Well the Original one in 1960 was better in my opinion, I don't recall seeing the one made in 1978 but the 2002 one .........wasn't actually too bad. The fact of showing past events are fixed to happen (such as someone dying) and trying to change them simply has reality adjusting it to effect the outcome was pretty well thought out. The end part with the holographic computer interface recognising him and acknowledging he was a time traveller and aided in helping the Eloi was done well. Overall I think they tried too hard but it certainly isn't the worst film I have seen and suggest people give it a go.
Same!
Same here
@@anarchyantz1564 I watched it. It sucked
Wait... so you’re saying if Earth was flat, I’d weigh less? I’m in.
David Haakonsen she said weight not mass
David Haakonsen I’m well aware I’d still be fat in space thank you very much 😂
If the Earth suddenly stopped spinning, things would NOT get thrown off the planet! The maximum rotation speed at the equator is about 1,000 mph. If the Earth suddenly stopped, things (including the air and oceans) would continue moving at that speed (in a shallow ballistic arc), causing incredible devastation. But nothing would leave the surface for more than a few moments. Bullets travel much faster than 1,000 mph but are not launched into space. To leave the surface of the Earth requires much greater speeds, over 17,000 mph.
You're forgetting Newton's first law: An object in motion will remain in motion in a straight line unless another force is applied to it. The reason we remain fixed to the planet is down to the centripetal force generated by the Earth's rotation. If the earth stopped spinning, this force would immediately cease to exist and everything that's not nailed down will spear off the planet in a straight line at whatever speed it's moving at at the time. You can prove this for yourself: Hold a ball in your hand and rotate your arm. When you let go of the ball, it will initially fly off in a straight line in the direction it was moving in when you let go, at whatever speed your arm was rotating at the time. The only reason it's direction changes is down to centripetal force acting on it. It's the same deal with your bullet, the reason it doesn't disappear off into the atmosphere is the same centripetal force pushing it down towards the earth.
And it's worse than that. The reason the ball or your bullet slow down is down to atmospheric drag (or friction, whichever you prefer), which acts against the motion of objects to slow them down. But without the centripetal force keeping the atmosphere in place, it would disperse and all we'd be left with is the vacuum of space, so we'd all fly off at 1000mph into the depths of space, forever. Or until we hit a passing moon or something.
* Incidentally, I use "centripetal force" as centrifugal force doesn't really exist other than to describe a negative centripetal force in a way we find more easy to understand. This is in the same vein as deceleration, which is basically a negative acceleration.
@@leopold7562 gravity...
You'd still die
The Time Machine wasn't my favorite movie, but I enjoyed it.
I found a fantastic biography channel. Y'all should do a collab!!
Love these what if videos, including the witty subtitles. Now I'm off to research rapper B.o.B.
Very fun video!!
What if Tom from Myspace bought Facebook?
I think that would destroy reality as we know it....=P
Now my question is... why the hell do we need such massive bombs? Wouldn't taking out an 'enemy' without excessive collateral damage be prefered?
My gta character looks just like you ...
If the mosquitoes were all killed at once it would be as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
Nice reference to Star Wars, but I think you could be onto something. I did wonder about what would happen if all the insects of the world disappeared for a day? My guess would be that our 'noise balance' would be out of whack and we could be seriously hurt by low frequency noise pollution. Just a whacky thought, my mind is in Christmas holiday mode - and rather relaxed right now.
I lived in southwest Saskatchewan and now live not much farther north. Heard from someone back in January that we’d be incinerated in the fireball that would be targeting all the missile silos just south of the border, which we’d apparently see taking off if they even had a chance to.
I think the Yellowstone super volcano was super underrated in the video. Forgot to mention that if it blows straight up from the lava then it'd be much less dangerous than the whole thing collapsing on itself and then blowing. The second scenario would throw everything high enough into the atmosphere in tiny, grain-of-sand sized shards that instantly cool and scatter like fine dust through the atmosphere.This means if you inhale it, it's like breathing tiny shards of cut glass into your lungs along with airplane engines, etc. The cloud of ash would fall across the center of the U.S. and wrap itself around the globe, destroying crops and farm animals for years, forcing most of the world's population to suddenly suffer from massive food shortages. the ash would fall and contaminate the waters and when it rained more would sink into the groundwater. Now we have no food, no water, can't breathe, and any places we move to would now be so over populated it'd be a nightmare.
Love the videos, seriously ya’ll gotta put on captions and read what is written compared to what he says, it was real anti-mosquito
To be fair, the Earth is gradually slowing through tidal drag - days are getting longer by a tiny increment all the time. It's just a VERY slow process and has taken us from 10 hour days to 24 in the lifetime of the planet (or so the text books I was reading back in the 80s informed me - theories may have changed with newer data)
GREAT VIDEO...............
In the Doctor Who episode Kill the Moon, they rather fail to mention what might happen if they actually set off the bombs in the shuttle and kill the creature that is the Moon by blowing up the shell. Obviously it would have been quite different then the creature just hatching and leaving an egg like it did.
Everyone would vaporize. Everything would be thrown into space. Every single cell of anything would become only hydrogen. Such a cheery top ten! Lol
Thumps up,I can imagine loads of research was done to produce these videos. It will be nice for you to list your references for people like me who are incurable skeptics. Thanks. Where do you hang out in London? Assuming you live in London.
He gives a list of sources in the description under the video.
Two things.
1. It's not nice to tease us with the thought of no mosquitos.
2. Tah-co. Tah-co. Tah-co. Not tack-o. I'll accept all his other pronunciations, but not that one. Love ya Simon! Keep doing what you're doing, but do it with a tah-co.
*bonus fact* happiness is the way you hold your head while eating a taco.
Correction on fact 1. Welding would not occur because once the metal is oxidized, it's oxidized regardless of the atmospheric oxygen content. This is why metals from earth taken into space does not weld.
“Drive high, get a dui” lolol
Come on Simon leave the Time Machine alone, I'm one of the 17 ppl who saw it. 😁
Let's start a cube earther club
"There is no dark side in the moon, really. Matter of fact, it's all dark. The only thing that makes it look light is the sun." - Gerry Driscoll, on Pink Floyd's "Eclipse"
I love the 2002 Time Machine
I watching "The Time Machine" while tripping at the theaters and it was awesome. Maybe it was my altered state of mind or it is the gap in years that has coloured my view but I look back at it fondly.
If you were tripping you would probably enjoy Twilight so your opinion doesn't count for much
How can flat earthers still believe? They will look back and think 'what an idiot I was'
The Moon blowing up question was answered in the first episode of the TV series "Space 1999". Earth was pretty much destroyed though small parts were still liveable for a few survivors.
Earth chan: I’m not flat
Earth-chan approves of this video's contents
What if the Earth orbited the sun in the opposite direction?!?
What if Human's never ate meat for food?!?
What if there were no fast food restaurants?!?
What if the Russians landed on the Moon before the United States?!?
Jim Gorr no fast food? Lot less of obesity related deaths
Jim Gorr those are more Alternate HistoryHub style questions
Jim Gorr what if white people weren’t racist?
What if there were no hypothetical situations?
If we orbited backwards, basically nothing.
No fast food, less obesity, longer lunch breaks.
Never eat meat, expanding beyond Africa would have been much more difficult and the Americas likely wouldn't have had people before colonization.
Russia on the moon before US, we'd have put people on Mars by now.
Think anyone would agree need an extinction of squitos,ticks ,and bedbugs
I'm all for it... mosquitoes were bad last summer.
So, you're saying "The Time Machine" is a bad movie then? :)
North Korea has fission style ....whilst South Korea has Gangnam Style!
Wait, who would be stupid enough to detonate every nuke on earth? Wait. North Korea.
Silversky The Nightwing but it would be M.A.D lol
It's not a daft scenario. What about a stuxnet type computer virus setting them off?
If I can think of doing that and I am not evil...then an evil person could already think of...
and America
Trump would be stupid enough.
@@camontalen3939 Trump even asked a few times in a briefing, "Why don't we use our nuclear weapons?"
Love the dig at buzzfeed and the time machine. Hard to say which sucks more though ;)
The Time Machine actually scared me more than most horror movies. Something about the remnants of civilization lying around.
Now I have a strange urge to go watch The Time Machine.
Pretty interesting.
If you’re at ground zero of a nuclear explosion I don’t think you would even have a second of pain, the radiation travels at or near light speed, much faster than nerve impulses. Just lights out, … unless my world view is mistaken. Who knows, I might certainly be looking at Christopher Hitchens and say something like “fancy meeting you here…. Who knew?”
SHOTS FIRED AT BUZZFEED lmao
Omg Simon should definitely start one of these alternate what if history channels
What if France conquered Mexico
What if Carolus Rex didn't die
What if Sweden continued it's imperialism
What if the Jews never landed in Israel after WW2
I liked The Time Machine remake it. Jeremy Irons was awesome and he pointed out to the MC that he was in a causality loop that was preventing him from saving his girlfriend.
If you've just had this video recommended to you, like I have, the scenario about the nuclear bombs... watch the movie "Threads" and imagine the town of Sheffield (as depicted in the movie), all over the world.
Escape velocity is about 25,000 mph. The earth rotates at 1,000 mph. If the earth INSTANTLY stop spinning, you would not fly off the earth. Although... You would slam into other objects at 1,000 mph. I'd rather be flung off the earth, at least you will get a beautiful view before dying
And of course we'd get 1,000 MPH winds because the atmosphere would keep spinning. So basically every manmade structure would be destroyed and few if any people would survive. And the atmosphere would likely keep spinning for years if not decades or centuries until friction eventually slows it down.
Wow I'm never this early! Only 7 views so far.
Earth not flat? (waiting for flat earthers and their tinfoil hats to go nuts). I think I need to get some popcorn.
That's why I came to the comments section.
Conclusive proof: if the earth were flat, cats would have knocked everything off, and watched each thing fall.
What if we limit the oxygen scenario specifically to O2?
In that case I don't think it would be noticed much for 5 seconds. People on oxygen might notice and have a bit of an issue for that 5 seconds, but as soon as it came back it would be fine. Of course he's right about everyone's ears if that much gas were to leave our atmosphere that quickly.
Oh yeah, I really enjoyed that... ;-)
I liked that version of the movie "the time machine". I even saw it in the theater.
I bet these guys have a huge pot head community.
In the last scenario, when the oxygen came back after 5 seconds (assuming it goes back to roughly where it was before as oxygen), any ignition source would result in a pretty large explosion, I'd think...
I'm rather disturbed that a lot of us have been traveling at 1000/mph....
Actually, on a flat earth, gravity would be stronger near the edges, but to anyone traveling from the center to the edge, it would seem less like traversing a plate, and more like climbing to the rim of a bowl. The farther you are from the center, the more of the planet is behind you, and so the more of a gravitational draw back to the center you would experience. If you manage to make it to the edge, you would find that gravity had shifted its orientation a full 90 degrees, and "down" would now be in the direction of the center of the disk. You could stand on the edge, perpendicular to the direction you would stand in the center, and because you would have a much greater amount of matter under your feet than you would at the center, you would experience greater gravitation.
Dat B.o.b burn in da subtitles at 5:10
I saw a video about setting off all the nukes at once by an in a nutshell channel
Male mosquitos are important pollinators. I'm surprised the "expert" entymologist didn't know that.
What happens after 5 seconds? Can life re start? Haha
Whelp if Yellowstone blows I'm history but on the flip side I don't think I'd feel a thing.
Yellowstone is blank on my apocalypse bingo card. I got plague, and locust already
I liked the Time Machine it's the go to when you want to go to sleep
They're are some inconsistencies with the last one, like ears blowing out, if all of oxygen disappeared the ears shouldn't be effected because that would include the air in the ear. Anyway there's variables that aren't taken into account like what if only open oxygenwas affected, and/or what if oxygen was replaced with C0² or Hydrogen or something like that?
I saw The Time Machine when it was out at the movies. Monkeybone too.
On a cube earth the center has the most gravity,but on a flat earth the center has less gravity
Why do I feel this list was Dr. Evil checking to see if his plan will work?
Finally, someone who hates the 2002 Time Machine as much as I do
i have a what if. I know our planet is off tilt a bit, and it has moved more off tilt in recent years. what would happen if our planet tilted over on its side? (north pole facing the sun)
What if Simon Whistler had hair? (On his head)
This guy
Enough already!! That joke was ancient when vaudeville was young!
This guy He has hair on his head, ie. Beard and mustache.
lol I seen him in an old vid with a bit of hair he's better bald
Bit rude, eh?
What if Simon launched another show with a space heater as a co-host?
What if the world was made of glazed donuts? We ran out of CD space.
57 flat earthers have disliked this video.
Gosh Simon tells us how you really feel about the movie lol
Simon looks at the script and questions...
Bloody muppets want to know what?!?
