A similar thing happened with Spelt wheat. Archaeologists found some ancient wheat seeds in a barrel in Egypt, and somebody decided to try to grow it. It grew, and now you can even buy Spelt bread in the store :)
What was lucky for that plant is that it was in a very dry environment. Many seeds that are in temperate areas would most likely rot due to the humidity.
Thank you and you can count on it! I'm going to try to make them once a month in order to give me time to keep the quality of the others your facts up! I was actually worried about adding the rap battles in history part, but I'm happy that was a lot of people favorites! Thanks for the input and have a good one!
These are really good! I knew about the wrinkles in water. Just one mistake, the humpback whale grows to about 50 feet as to the largest Blue whale which can grow in excess of 90 feet. Keep up the good vids :-)
For those of you with annotations off, yes I understand the *humpback whale* is not the largest animal. I meant to say "one of the largest," I was ad-libbing that part. That said, it doesn't impact the fact it is mentioned in whatsoever so no worries. I'm a one man show here, mistakes happen. Haha Anyways, take care and have a good one!
+Think Fact hi, what about the great sphinx? perhaps you dont consider it a building but rather a monument, in any case that one is usually said to be built around 4000 bc, but recent studies say it was most likely built around 7000 bc making it the oldest human built structure. also according to wikipedia (have not verified this yet) there is a building in Turkey called Göbekli Tepe which dates back to about 8000 BC So I think you got that one wrong bro.
psygami Good points! Remember, the fact is just for a *building*. The great sphinx is a monument and Göbekli Tepe is an occupation/ritual site. Thank you for sharing!
+Think Fact Thank you for the response, on your video you compared the french building to the pyramids of giza, do you consider those a monument or a building, also what would make the sphinx a building rather than a monument? having inner rooms? Did you know there are newly discovered chambers under the sphinx.
I think there's something worth mentioning here. "Ballena Asesina" in spanish literally means "Murderer Whale" (or "Killer Whale"). Whereas the english term "Whale Killer" would be translated into spanish as "Asesina de Ballenas" (literally "Killer of Whales") or "Mata-Ballenas" (literally: "Whale Slayer/Killer"). I hope this helps somehow.
That is very interesting, thank you! I wonder if Spanish was different back then to some extent. Because this happened back during the 16th 17th century. I definitely know that English has changed quite considerably since then. But that's a topic for whole other day! Thank you very much for your comment! Have a good one too!
My favourite fact was the Viking rap battles. My favourite ANYTHING is usually Viking related. I was adopted and recently had my DNA tested and I came up rather Norse, so that made me the happiest shieldmaiden in the world. Yeay!
@Ericules555 the blue whale can get over 100 ft, and can weigh 200 ton or more. really big blue whales aren't that common today due to hunting. for a blue whale to get to this length and weight they must first and foremost live for about 80 years or more, but really big ones are spotted even today. it's how you define big. I would say blue whales are bigger because they weigh more and in my eyes are simply more gigantic than argentinosaurus.
@Ericules555 I don't know about the weight of argentinosaurus. I tried to find info on that but they're very unclear about their weight. Someone said as little as 50 tons, but the average seems to be about 100 ton. And that is much less than the heaviest recorded blue whale. But when it comes to dinosaurs it's not that easy to measure if you don't have all the right bones. If you take a quick google on it you will see that they estimate argentinosaurus average weight to be from as little as 50 tom to 150 ton or more. I'm sure they were taller, though, but there are no proof they could weigh as much as an blue whale. Pretty much every source I checked call the blue whale the biggest, or heaviest, animal to inhabit the earth. And I mean in average. A big blue whale would weigh more than a big argentinosaurus anyday I think.
Nice to hear from you! I definitely hope this is a good series to undertake, and has been receiving a lot of great feedback and I hope that this could really boost my channels viewership! But the best part about it is how fun it is to make, and reading the comments about how surprised people where! haha Have a good one my friend!
The history makes more sense with the leaflets, it's basically the US showing off the Nuke's power on a major city that should have been abandoned and killed not as many people.
Many people were not literate and even when they were, they had years of all kinds of fear-mongering leaflets dropping on them, and they had no reason to believe that the USA had a bomb this powerful. The government of Japan had no means to evacuate 35 cities, it was completely impossible, especially since no concrete dates and times were declared beforehand. *So the whole leaflet thing was just an excuse, and this is why it is not included in history books.* What should be included in the history books is the fact that the nuclear bombings had nothing to do with winning over Japan, as declassified documents show. The Japanese government has already agreed to capitulate and it was not carried out by the time of the bombings only due to formalities. The whole reason Truman needed those bombings was to threat the USSR, it was a bloody show for Stalin.
@@StrangerHappened i don't think i know all the facts but that sort of makes sense. there was no real military need to drop those nukes. i heard some people say they only wanted to try it out to see if it worked and they justified it with lame excuses.
Personally, I find these more interesting than the ones you can find on other channels. Most of them tend to just copy/paste from some sort of online article.
That was one of the major reasons why I wanted to make a special series that actually goes into depth. I find a great way to do that is to challenge myself to find information that I feel most people don't know about, and not only do that but make it engaging and try to elaborate. I feel I could really add to any "10 facts" video. Or any video at all of that matter that involves listing just facts! Thank you for the comment!
Nature is amazing! This seat was kept in the perfect environment. Dry, dark, and away from animals. And it's amazing that we are going to be able to resurrect the extinct species through this sheer luck! Thank you for the comment!
Jim Groth It was on the news quite a bit a while back, by not many people ever got a follow-up or knew much more about it. I am still impressed that you knew about it! Never stop learning! :) Thanks for the comment and have a good one!
Think Fact I knew about it by pure chance actually. Just stumbled upon an article. Obscure facts aren't only fun but also important. The little things in life often has a larger impact on the world than anything. Only the big events gets the media attention. Without these, our past will be lost to us.
Jim Groth It's very interesting. I guess that's what's so awesome is the little things we remember. I hope people remember most of the little things I said in this video! Haha. Thank you!
I'm all for finding and learning about stuff that hardly anyone knows about, or... and this is the most important part... stuff that not every other channel on UA-cam is talking about. I love to learn useless, trivial, almost meaningless facts. So far this video is up to the challenge. 👍👍
Hi Dale, I only today found your channel. I am so Thankful. First of all, you are hysterical!!! Second, that was truly 10 facts I did not know. When I clicked on I thought, "Ok, we'll see." I found myself gitty with glee...There is nothing more powerful in life's journey than KNOWLEDGE. Very, very special!!! I subscribed and sharing with everyone. You're a bright star.
I have made 8 of these fact videos, each with a little more work than the last. If you would like to see more of them, please feel free to check them out! Thank you very much for the kind words and I hope to see you around. Take care!
Nice :) But did you ever get to hear about Gobelki Tepe? This is the oldest building, not the one in France. It is as old as agriculture itself. There are also many other buildings that are older then 6870yrs - like the ziggurat of Eridu.
+William Gilliam :) It is nice to have someone know about this. I mean, a 6870 year old building ppft :P There are so many other OLDER buildings all around the world, but he mentions a 6870 year old cave? Seriously? XD
***** There are a few different things that can give you kidney stones. To my knowledge people who have high sodium diets and tend not to get enough calcium get them more often. But not all kidney stones are caused by the same issues. I imagine your doctors are aware of this and if that is in preventing it, there's probably more to it. Here is the website by the National Kidney Foundation that might be able to give you some pointers on things you might want to try changing. www.kidney.org/atoz/content/kidneystones_prevent If it's really bothering you, maybe try changing around your diet a bit. You got to do what you got to do. Wish you the best, Michael!
Think Fact Thanks a lot for spending your time with that. I appreciate every bit of help I can get. Yeah, the doctors have kind of a catch 22 with mine. My body is calcium deficient, but calcium is what makes them form. Lol. I pass most of them on a regular basis with no problem, but once in a while I have one that causes a lot of pain, and I end up in the E.R. to get pain meds. I've been told that genetics play a role too. Once again, thank you very much! :)
***** I can't always help, but I try when I can. There are a lot of factors, especially genetics, but maybe one thing you could try if you have not is a dietitian. I wish you well man.
In regards to 2:03 The apple pie was a British recipe made in 1381, since America was discovered by Columbus in 1492. This is like me saying "nothing is more British than McDonald's.
"...the biggest of all animals, the humpback." The sperm whale is about a quarter bigger than the humpback and the blue whale dwarfs the sperm whale. The biggest of all animals is the blue whale.
I was gonna comment about the humpback thing, but decided to see if someone commented it first, so I don't get hate. And yeah, the blue whale is alot bigger.
"Unique" (4:34) does not have degrees. Things are not more, less or "most unique". Something is either unique (one of a kind) or it is not. Please tell the rest of the world.
Cartoon Fan a t-shirt is better than a tattoo because years later people won't know how stupid you were. If you would hate having the T-shirt why put it on your body. Putting your tattoo on a shirt and wearing it every day for a couple years is a better idea
I greatly appreciate it. Thank you for the subscription and the feedback. I always get a kick out of these old videos, the quality is so different from the newer stuff. At any rate, thank you once again and I hope to see you around!
Yes, your skin “grows” to help grip under water. The growing increases the surface area of your hand allowing you to touch a larger surface area of a given object. Larger surface area makes for more frictional area, giving you better grip.
@@pommiebearsNot quite like tire tread. Tire treads are designed to push water outward from the tire allowing the remaining surface area to make solid contact with the road. As mentioned by Lord Sheerak XD, pruny fingers allow for greater surface area overall creating better grip.
My favorite fact by far is the "Rap Battle" fact. It's hilarious thinking about every culture I've learned in history class over the years having a rap battle. I also like to think of cultural icons like Abraham Lincoln having rap battles using old English, and winning.
I've always found that funny as well. Really nearly every culture. It's pretty interesting to think about. Also Lincoln didn't speak "olde english" That's like some 10th century shit. Middle English coinciding with the Middle ages, Chaucer, Wycliffe etc. Shakespeare wrote in early modern english. 18th century onwards is all modern english. Sure our vocabulary has changed, but the "type" of english is actually based on pronunciation, the characters and glyphs used, tense, among other things. Olde English and Middle english are nearly unreadable and are for all intents and purposes, another language entirely. That's why we can read Shakespeare without too much trouble, but reading the original Canterbury Tales is quite a different task. Go look some of this up, it's really quite interesting!
mainecolbs Oops, you're absolutely right! Well, that's what I get for not researching information before writing a comment! However, the comment you replied with is really interesting! I'll be sure to look that up! Say, Think Fact , I think it would be interesting to make a video about the evolution of languages!
mainecolbs Well thank you! I just did some researching on Olde English! So, you not only went easy on me for making a mistake on the Internet, but you also got me interested in a subject as well! Thanks!
That was seriously cool ,and I found the Orca fact brilliantly funny but was seriously surprised at the fact that the Venus fly trap is from Carolina .Keep up the good work sir I love this stuff.
You are fabulous! You are a human, not a robot---that alone makes you amazing! I am a fact/documentary junkie...and was delighted to discover you. More vids, please!! Medical, earthquakes, Prohibition. Anything, really.....just get to worrk! hahaha
Thank you very much, I'm happy that you like the video. I ended up continuing the series and have 8 of these types of videos as of yet. You'll have to check them out! Thanks for the comment and take care.
+VideoDeadGaming I guess I'm not the first to notice this. Shakespeare wrote "Much Ado About Nothing," not "Much To Do About Nothing." I will end this useless comment, without further ado (not further "to do").
i love this! great job! the mona lisa fact was awesome..i watched 10 differnt videos of "unusual stuff"..they all had the same top 10 generic vague stuff..i love this video!
Thank you for the facts! The seed story inspires me to try panting my hop rhizomes which have been sitting in my refrigerator for six years. Six years ago I met my girlfriend and since then I never felt the rhizomes were a priority. I am not blaming her. My thinking process is not the best.
You screwed up on number ten when you said, "...the biggest of animals, the humpback." No, the biggest animal is the Blue whale. Otherwise, great video, make more.
How To Make Sushi don't tell me you're one of those as well? Without further ado And Without further to do Are the same saying and mean the same and are interchangable Depends on where you're from is what you say. But both are right Look it up
Your "Think Fact" videos are AWESOME! Thank You SO MUCH! (My favorite Fact in this video was the Orca! I trained to be a "delphinologist" {yes, that's a real word} and I found out some facts that I didn't know!)
Never seen you till today, but I do like your programming. It's funny, to the point, honest, raw, a little of everything. And I can honestly say I am now a wee bit more knowledgeable about thing's than I was before I watched this!
Think Fact You're Welcome. It's nice to know that my comment meant a LIT to you...LOL....I know you meant to put lot, but to me it's still funny. Thanks for the unexpected laugh! Happy Holidays!
Haha, I am sorry. I was looking through the comments and liked yours but I think faster than I type and did not proof read. My bad. Well I hope you have a good one and Happy Holidays to you too!
Great job....Paul Harvey comes to mind...let me know what you think of Paul Harvey....as of 15-20 yrs ago they were not publishing his books..most likely of it's contents showing history as it was..."now you know the rest of the story! "
Maureen Rogers The man made up much of his "history", particularly about individuals. His stories about Mel Gibson and Howard Hughes were ridiculously idiotic.
daneg007 Well, did you not read the annotation? The biggest animal of all time was in reference to whales in general, and then I stated humpback but it obviously was not clear enough in the video.
I learn much from thinkfact. I did not know about six and seven. I was flabbergasted. Thank you thinkfact for your educational facts! I'm very proud that I'm a subscriber!
I love your videos on these obscure facts. The small area of the USA? Where the Venus flytrap is native? I know I would never have learned that if not for your video. I'm not sure where I will need that info but I know it will come useful, perhaps critically so, at some point in my life 🤓
That's not a building. There are many open temples but they had no roof and were not for habitation. Oldest construction goes to a Neanderthal cave also in France. An internal wall circa 120,000 years old.
The tobacco thing does make one wonder... But we have to be honest and see it from all possible angles. Tobacco smoking has seen very oposite sides of the spectrum, from when it was considered elegant and classy to the recent times of almost persecution mania. And what for? Because it's... bad for you? Well, no doubt it is, but since when have we been consistent in that department? There are many things bad for us, some even 100% deadly, but we don't face them all equally. Take a carnival ride, for example. It doesn't matter how fun riders think it is (and even how much the riders themselves are willing to dismiss the possibility of danger) fact is that those sort of devices have to go through extreme expert testing, to the point that if ANY chance for an accident isn't removed the ride gets a "no". And even if it passes all tests but then someone gets hurt while riding it, that's goodbye, it's an instant scandal and the ride will never again open to the public. Now let's see how the automobile industry works. Every year MILLIONS of cars are produced, for the whole world. We KNOW in advance that many of those cars will take lives. It's not a guess, it's a GIVEN fact. I'm sure than in each 10 cars built, at least one will be wrecked and/or cause pedestrians to be hurt. Millions of people will be injured and killed for riding those human inventions, and the more we built the more lives they take. Yet, noboy even THINKS about banning cars. Nobody ever says "well, this was a cool invention and all, was great to travel fast and in comfort inside these things, but that can't have human lives as its cost, so we are putting a stop to car production", you know, the way they would do to a dangerous carnival ride. The thing is that we have learn to accept certain dangers, even the certainty of human loss, in exchange for certain comforts. Because we think that it will always be "someone else" who's going to be the casualty. The problem with tobacco is that cancer became something very close to each and all of us, it entered our homes without asking, and the fear of being next changed the way we see tobacco. We trust that we can deal with cars, because they are big enough to be seen on the road (we believe only fools or bad drivers - wich are never ourselves - get in accidents), but there's something about a tiny molecule that travels our body and operates in evil ways while we have no power to do anything about it... it creeps us out. And that's why we fear a "substance" more than a car, even though cars are statistically the world's leading cause of death and accidents still considered the most likely way of death in the modern world. (Wow, freakin' long and boring rant, lol. Sorry about that). Anyway, about your question on wich is the most interesting fact on the video, the one on the orcas was cool. I had always wondered about it, actually, because i'm from Portugal and in my home language "Orco" is a word that the dictionary defines as "the Land of the Dead", so "orca" is quite a similar word indeed...
+Jimmy David Comparing our fear of and banning tobacco products to cars, relative to the damage and death each causes, is not only spurious, it's just downright wrong. You're not comparing apples to oranges. You're comparing apples to turnips.There is no reason that the use of tobacco should be accepted in that it provides NO redeeming benefits to the body of the user and anyone nearby inhaling second hand smoke while it is tremendously destructive to not just many, but to all body systems. This has been proven beyond doubt in double-blind, randomized medical studies of statistically significant populations of users versus non-users. Tobacco weakens, at the least, and destroys the cellular structure of all body parts. It causes cancers of all kinds (eg. oral, pharyngeal, lung, etc.) as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma (attacks of which have killed smokers), emphysema (which if you've seen someone dying of it, well, a bullet to the brain is kinder). Research has also associated tobacco use with other cancers of body systems that aren't directly in contact with the smoke because of the chemicals in tobacco that the bloodstream circulates to them. Furthermore, since it lessens the amount of oxygen in your bloodstream it severely exacerbates coronary artery disease causing heart attacks which, if it doesn't outright kill you, weakens other body systems due to less cardiac output. It also lessens the oxygen supplied to all cells of all of our body which causes their premature death thereby shortening the users life. Statistics have demonstrated that smoking shortens the life of smokers by on average, ON AVERAGE, 12 - 14 years. It's effects can also most readily be seen in the wrinkling and premature aging of its users. Now consider that there have been identified 237 poisonous chemicals in processed smoking tobacco and tell me how there is any benefit to using it. The other things we use or enjoy as part of our daily life make our lives easier, more fun and more healthful regardless that they do have accidents associated with them. Do you not shower or bathe for fear of slipping and hurting yourself? of course not. It's all a matter of risk to benefit ratio and after you've seen the across the board effects of tobacco use there's just no argument that can support tobacco's use, the societal healthcare costs of which are paid by all of us in higher taxes. I take it you're not a healthcare professional.
+Mary von Bilodeau I am 26. I have smoked since I was 12. I switched to American Spirit a few years back, got sick, then switched to whole leaf organic cutting and rolling myself. I do not get that sick feeling anymore while smoking and I smoke less(because I must cut and roll them). Tobacco is not the problem, from what my experience learned me.
+Jimmy David Thank you. Finally someone who gets it. I hate smoking personally but people are responsible for their own bodies and their own health and it's nobody else' business what they do with it. If people weren't so primitive in their thinking and would mind their own business we would be living in a much happier, free and better world.
+Mary von Bilodeau Actually, nicotine is a marvelous drug with many positive effects. In several studies, people who used nicotine were compared with those who didn't. The nicotine-users scored higher on tests; higher in memory, and higher in concentration. It also suppresses appetite and is helpful for people trying to lose or maintain weight. I've never known a fashion model who wasn't also a smoker. It works. Trust me - if it had no positive effects, no one would smoke long enough to become addicted. It also fights hunger and is useful as a diet drug. It's a paradoxical alkaloid. Smokers can increase energy by taking faster, but shallower, drags. When inhaled more slowly and less frequently, it's a relaxer. Scientists find the drug fascinating. It's one of the few drugs which maintains its tolerance level. If one quits smoking for several years, but then has one or two, the smoker will almost immediately return to his/her previous intake with no ill effects. Contrast that with any opiate or subset of phenobarbital/barbiturate, where tolerance has to be rebuilt or the user will die. (The dizziness new smokers feel isn't from the nicotine, but from carbon dioxide and lower oxygen being delivered to the brain.) Filters are quite dangerous. Many of the flavors added to tobacco are also quite dangerous. I agree with you there. Nicotine is one of the deadliest natural poisons in the plant world. Soaking a cigar in water until the nicotine is released can actually kill someone. Smoke that cigar and live. Weird. I find it to be as fascinating as researchers do.
+Impression Television Dude, you've only been smoking for 14 years. Get back to us when you've smoked for 30. If everyone who smoked died of lung cancer, or if smoking caused cancer the first year they smoke, there would be like three smokers in the world. I'm for legalization of all drugs. That would stop gang murders the next day, since there'd be no money in it. But there's big money for the government in keeping tobacco legal (not just for tobacco taxes and Southern states' agriculture and economy). There's even more money in keeping illegal drugs illegal. Ever since Nixon started the laughable war on drugs, budgets for the DEA and police departments in general has gone up every year. We've privatized prisons so that corporations actually make a profit when keeping people in prison. Meantime, the Reagan administration used cocaine money to fund an illegal rebellion against a freely-elected Sandinista government. It's just so much bullshit.
@@erichatfield2939 You could call me out as a bullshiter if you'd like. But had you googled it first, you wouldn't be standing there looking like an ass. Why would I lie about that?
no way!!!!! I live in North Carolina and I went to Wilmington last weekend, I stayed in a friends beach house and he had like 50 Venus flytrap plants!!!!!
ballena asesina does not mean whale killer. It really means killer whale.... it´s quite well translated... whale killer should be asesina de ballenas or mata ballenas so...
you have the internet at your disposal and yet you don't know that a pod is a smaller part of a herd; and that Orcas travel in one or the other depending on how far they are traveling. Nice going.
I have looked extensively at the internet regarding this and consulted a family member who is a biologist. They travel in “pods.”A large number is called a “group”. I can not find anywhere that calls them a herd. Please provide your source if you have one that states that herd is the correct definition.
TheOneanjel I am with poster, never have I seen killer whales referred to as a herd... EVER and I have been out to study the Northern Resident pod in San Juan island, WA.
the finger pruning thing is what helps you grip stuff. my pancreas was damaged by undiagnosed Gaul stones ,which made me instantly sever diabetic. the episode put me in the hospital three weeks and i ended up with bad nerve damage pain in my hands and feet. it is from hell pain and for years i was saved by methadone and lead a normal life until the opiod hysteria, and the first excuse doctors had, they took it away. i was given the choice of suicidal pain ,or lyrica, a super strength Prozac type drug. although methadone don't make you feel high,they gave me lyrica that made me higher than i had ever been. within days my hands and feet and arms and legs were numb and felt like wrapped in plastic. but that freaking pain was still their and it made me feel mentally ill. i found more methadone and then a new doctor. but the plastic feeling never when away and i can't grip anything and need shoes all the time. everything i grab ,is like trying to grab a wet ice cube. what a fucked up world i live in.
After seeing the positive feedback you can definitely expect more to come! I thought starting with the Mona Lisa painting would be a good one, I'm happy you liked that one best! Thanks for the comment!
I definitely try when I get the time! It's just extremely time consuming to get back to everybody! But I always at least try to get it back to as many people as I can! Have a good one!
Well, I have made 8 of these video with even more of them. Haha. Feel free to check them out if you would like more fun irrelevant facts. Thank you for the comment!
The Judas palm tree is just amazing. To think that those seeds would be preserved and then be able to be successfully grown again is astonishing.
FYI: They aren't Judas palm trees but Judean.
Just like honey, cause they don't expire
A similar thing happened with Spelt wheat. Archaeologists found some ancient wheat seeds in a barrel in Egypt, and somebody decided to try to grow it. It grew, and now you can even buy Spelt bread in the store :)

And that's why I love archaeology and anthropology! haha
What was lucky for that plant is that it was in a very dry environment. Many seeds that are in temperate areas would most likely rot due to the humidity.

Thank you and you can count on it! I'm going to try to make them once a month in order to give me time to keep the quality of the others your facts up! I was actually worried about adding the rap battles in history part, but I'm happy that was a lot of people favorites! Thanks for the input and have a good one!

Sure
Think Fact
Thanks! ;) I sent you a message :)
There was not one fact I had heard before! It was very informative. Loved it. More, please!
These are really good! I knew about the wrinkles in water. Just one mistake, the humpback whale grows to about 50 feet as to the largest Blue whale which can grow in excess of 90 feet. Keep up the good vids :-)
For those of you with annotations off, yes I understand the *humpback whale* is not the largest animal. I meant to say "one of the largest," I was ad-libbing that part. That said, it doesn't impact the fact it is mentioned in whatsoever so no worries.
I'm a one man show here, mistakes happen. Haha
Anyways, take care and have a good one!
+Think Fact no worries, your video is worth it anyways :)
Ballena asesina literally means killer whale. Not killer of whales.
+Think Fact
hi, what about the great sphinx? perhaps you dont consider it a building but rather a monument, in any case that one is usually said to be built around 4000 bc, but recent studies say it was most likely built around 7000 bc making it the oldest human built structure.
also according to wikipedia (have not verified this yet) there is a building in Turkey called Göbekli Tepe which dates back to about 8000 BC
So I think you got that one wrong bro.
psygami
Good points! Remember, the fact is just for a *building*. The great sphinx is a monument and Göbekli Tepe is an occupation/ritual site.
Thank you for sharing!
+Think Fact
Thank you for the response, on your video you compared the french building to the pyramids of giza, do you consider those a monument or a building, also what would make the sphinx a building rather than a monument? having inner rooms? Did you know there are newly discovered chambers under the sphinx.
I think there's something worth mentioning here.
"Ballena Asesina" in spanish literally means "Murderer Whale" (or "Killer Whale"). Whereas the english term "Whale Killer" would be translated into spanish as "Asesina de Ballenas" (literally "Killer of Whales") or "Mata-Ballenas" (literally: "Whale Slayer/Killer").
I hope this helps somehow.
That is very interesting, thank you! I wonder if Spanish was different back then to some extent. Because this happened back during the 16th 17th century. I definitely know that English has changed quite considerably since then. But that's a topic for whole other day! Thank you very much for your comment! Have a good one too!

The BLUE whale is the biggest animal ever to live!!!! Never stop learning Dale 😳🤔😂😂😂😂
kevin lynch. It actually is you dumb shit. Mass wise.
@Ericules555 blue whales are bigger than any dino ever was
@Ericules555 the blue whale can get over 100 ft, and can weigh 200 ton or more. really big blue whales aren't that common today due to hunting. for a blue whale to get to this length and weight they must first and foremost live for about 80 years or more, but really big ones are spotted even today. it's how you define big. I would say blue whales are bigger because they weigh more and in my eyes are simply more gigantic than argentinosaurus.
@Ericules555 the Wikipedia page for example call the blue whale the biggest animal to have ever lived, and most sources do as well call them that.
@Ericules555 I don't know about the weight of argentinosaurus. I tried to find info on that but they're very unclear about their weight. Someone said as little as 50 tons, but the average seems to be about 100 ton. And that is much less than the heaviest recorded blue whale. But when it comes to dinosaurs it's not that easy to measure if you don't have all the right bones. If you take a quick google on it you will see that they estimate argentinosaurus average weight to be from as little as 50 tom to 150 ton or more. I'm sure they were taller, though, but there are no proof they could weigh as much as an blue whale. Pretty much every source I checked call the blue whale the biggest, or heaviest, animal to inhabit the earth. And I mean in average. A big blue whale would weigh more than a big argentinosaurus anyday I think.
Amazing video! and I think the series will be great, as those facts were really interesting.
Nice to hear from you! I definitely hope this is a good series to undertake, and has been receiving a lot of great feedback and I hope that this could really boost my channels viewership! But the best part about it is how fun it is to make, and reading the comments about how surprised people where! haha Have a good one my friend!
Ok this was way better than I was expecting! I hope there are more of these! 🥳
Favorite fact: the leaflets distributed in Japan. Why is this detail left out of our history so often?
Because most people commenting on the bombings are apologists and mentioning the leaflets does't meet their narrative.
The history makes more sense with the leaflets, it's basically the US showing off the Nuke's power on a major city that should have been abandoned and killed not as many people.
Many people were not literate and even when they were, they had years of all kinds of fear-mongering leaflets dropping on them, and they had no reason to believe that the USA had a bomb this powerful. The government of Japan had no means to evacuate 35 cities, it was completely impossible, especially since no concrete dates and times were declared beforehand. *So the whole leaflet thing was just an excuse, and this is why it is not included in history books.* What should be included in the history books is the fact that the nuclear bombings had nothing to do with winning over Japan, as declassified documents show. The Japanese government has already agreed to capitulate and it was not carried out by the time of the bombings only due to formalities. The whole reason Truman needed those bombings was to threat the USSR, it was a bloody show for Stalin.
@strangerhappened that makes sense. I was never interested in history until a couple years ago. I have a lot to learn! 😁
@@StrangerHappened i don't think i know all the facts but that sort of makes sense. there was no real military need to drop those nukes. i heard some people say they only wanted to try it out to see if it worked and they justified it with lame excuses.
Definitely make more. Love learning your way. I feel 1/10th smarter after watching this video .

The date which was supposed to be extinct flowered again after thousands of years. Nature will always find away to reproduce.
Personally, I find these more interesting than the ones you can find on other channels. Most of them tend to just copy/paste from some sort of online article.
That was one of the major reasons why I wanted to make a special series that actually goes into depth. I find a great way to do that is to challenge myself to find information that I feel most people don't know about, and not only do that but make it engaging and try to elaborate. I feel I could really add to any "10 facts" video. Or any video at all of that matter that involves listing just facts! Thank you for the comment!

***** There are a few different things that can give you kidney stones.
To my knowledge people who have high sodium diets and tend not to get enough calcium get them more often. But not all kidney stones are caused by the same issues. I imagine your doctors are aware of this and if that is in preventing it, there's probably more to it.
Here is the website by the National Kidney Foundation that might be able to give you some pointers on things you might want to try changing.

If it's really bothering you, maybe try changing around your diet a bit. You got to do what you got to do.
Wish you the best, Michael!
Think Fact Thanks a lot for spending your time with that. I appreciate every bit of help I can get. Yeah, the doctors have kind of a catch 22 with mine. My body is calcium deficient, but calcium is what makes them form. Lol. I pass most of them on a regular basis with no problem, but once in a while I have one that causes a lot of pain, and I end up in the E.R. to get pain meds. I've been told that genetics play a role too. Once again, thank you very much! :)

In regards to 2:03 The apple pie was a British recipe made in 1381, since America was discovered by Columbus in 1492. This is like me saying "nothing is more British than McDonald's.

The sperm whale is about a quarter bigger than the humpback and the blue whale dwarfs the sperm whale. The biggest of all animals is the blue whale.

Death riding through hell on an orca, I'm not sure whether that would be better as a tattoo or a t-shirt.
Cartoon Fan a t-shirt is better than a tattoo because years later people won't know how stupid you were. If you would hate having the T-shirt why put it on your body. Putting your tattoo on a shirt and wearing it every day for a couple years is a better idea

i thought pruney fingers was for grip underwater :o
Davy92 #truth
It is
Davy92 yes...like treads on a car tyre.
Yes, your skin “grows” to help grip under water. The growing increases the surface area of your hand allowing you to touch a larger surface area of a given object. Larger surface area makes for more frictional area, giving you better grip.
@@pommiebearsNot quite like tire tread. Tire treads are designed to push water outward from the tire allowing the remaining surface area to make solid contact with the road. As mentioned by Lord Sheerak XD, pruny fingers allow for greater surface area overall creating better grip.
Wow! I did not know that about the Venus flytrap plant! 😮
My favorite fact by far is the "Rap Battle" fact. It's hilarious thinking about every culture I've learned in history class over the years having a rap battle.
I also like to think of cultural icons like Abraham Lincoln having rap battles using old English, and winning.
I've always found that funny as well. Really nearly every culture. It's pretty interesting to think about. Also Lincoln didn't speak "olde english" That's like some 10th century shit. Middle English coinciding with the Middle ages, Chaucer, Wycliffe etc. Shakespeare wrote in early modern english. 18th century onwards is all modern english.
Sure our vocabulary has changed, but the "type" of english is actually based on pronunciation, the characters and glyphs used, tense, among other things. Olde English and Middle english are nearly unreadable and are for all intents and purposes, another language entirely. That's why we can read Shakespeare without too much trouble, but reading the original Canterbury Tales is quite a different task.
Go look some of this up, it's really quite interesting!

I thought fact 4 was that they get wrinkled due to a natural reaction so we get more grip when in water for long periods of time.
nope
Sean Cauffiel no he didn't actually say that, he describes how the process happen, but if you read what flashes up on the screen it says it there
+Josh Hooper ITS A MYTH. you do net get better grip. Actually we still don't know but it is leaning towards a nope on that theory.

+Charly Hiebert I think he wants to say "ado".

Oldest building AT the moment is Gobekli Tepe in Turkey and it dates more than 11000 ago.
That's not a building. There are many open temples but they had no roof and were not for habitation. Oldest construction goes to a Neanderthal cave also in France. An internal wall circa 120,000 years old.
0:36 Here's a fun fact: The actual phrase is: "without further ado." Meaning, without any more delay.
The tobacco thing does make one wonder...
But we have to be honest and see it from all possible angles. Tobacco smoking has seen very oposite sides of the spectrum, from when it was considered elegant and classy to the recent times of almost persecution mania. And what for? Because it's... bad for you? Well, no doubt it is, but since when have we been consistent in that department? There are many things bad for us, some even 100% deadly, but we don't face them all equally. Take a carnival ride, for example. It doesn't matter how fun riders think it is (and even how much the riders themselves are willing to dismiss the possibility of danger) fact is that those sort of devices have to go through extreme expert testing, to the point that if ANY chance for an accident isn't removed the ride gets a "no". And even if it passes all tests but then someone gets hurt while riding it, that's goodbye, it's an instant scandal and the ride will never again open to the public. Now let's see how the automobile industry works. Every year MILLIONS of cars are produced, for the whole world. We KNOW in advance that many of those cars will take lives. It's not a guess, it's a GIVEN fact. I'm sure than in each 10 cars built, at least one will be wrecked and/or cause pedestrians to be hurt. Millions of people will be injured and killed for riding those human inventions, and the more we built the more lives they take. Yet, noboy even THINKS about banning cars. Nobody ever says "well, this was a cool invention and all, was great to travel fast and in comfort inside these things, but that can't have human lives as its cost, so we are putting a stop to car production", you know, the way they would do to a dangerous carnival ride.
The thing is that we have learn to accept certain dangers, even the certainty of human loss, in exchange for certain comforts. Because we think that it will always be "someone else" who's going to be the casualty.
The problem with tobacco is that cancer became something very close to each and all of us, it entered our homes without asking, and the fear of being next changed the way we see tobacco. We trust that we can deal with cars, because they are big enough to be seen on the road (we believe only fools or bad drivers - wich are never ourselves - get in accidents), but there's something about a tiny molecule that travels our body and operates in evil ways while we have no power to do anything about it... it creeps us out. And that's why we fear a "substance" more than a car, even though cars are statistically the world's leading cause of death and accidents still considered the most likely way of death in the modern world.
(Wow, freakin' long and boring rant, lol. Sorry about that). Anyway, about your question on wich is the most interesting fact on the video, the one on the orcas was cool. I had always wondered about it, actually, because i'm from Portugal and in my home language "Orco" is a word that the dictionary defines as "the Land of the Dead", so "orca" is quite a similar word indeed...
+Jimmy David Comparing our fear of and banning tobacco products to cars, relative to the damage and death each causes, is not only spurious, it's just downright wrong. You're not comparing apples to oranges. You're comparing apples to turnips.There is no reason that the use of tobacco should be accepted in that it provides NO redeeming benefits to the body of the user and anyone nearby inhaling second hand smoke while it is tremendously destructive to not just many, but to all body systems. This has been proven beyond doubt in double-blind, randomized medical studies of statistically significant populations of users versus non-users. Tobacco weakens, at the least, and destroys the cellular structure of all body parts. It causes cancers of all kinds (eg. oral, pharyngeal, lung, etc.) as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma (attacks of which have killed smokers), emphysema (which if you've seen someone dying of it, well, a bullet to the brain is kinder). Research has also associated tobacco use with other cancers of body systems that aren't directly in contact with the smoke because of the chemicals in tobacco that the bloodstream circulates to them. Furthermore, since it lessens the amount of oxygen in your bloodstream it severely exacerbates coronary artery disease causing heart attacks which, if it doesn't outright kill you, weakens other body systems due to less cardiac output. It also lessens the oxygen supplied to all cells of all of our body which causes their premature death thereby shortening the users life. Statistics have demonstrated that smoking shortens the life of smokers by on average, ON AVERAGE, 12 - 14 years. It's effects can also most readily be seen in the wrinkling and premature aging of its users. Now consider that there have been identified 237 poisonous chemicals in processed smoking tobacco and tell me how there is any benefit to using it. The other things we use or enjoy as part of our daily life make our lives easier, more fun and more healthful regardless that they do have accidents associated with them. Do you not shower or bathe for fear of slipping and hurting yourself? of course not. It's all a matter of risk to benefit ratio and after you've seen the across the board effects of tobacco use there's just no argument that can support tobacco's use, the societal healthcare costs of which are paid by all of us in higher taxes. I take it you're not a healthcare professional.
+Mary von Bilodeau I am 26. I have smoked since I was 12. I switched to American Spirit a few years back, got sick, then switched to whole leaf organic cutting and rolling myself. I do not get that sick feeling anymore while smoking and I smoke less(because I must cut and roll them).
Tobacco is not the problem, from what my experience learned me.
+Jimmy David Thank you. Finally someone who gets it. I hate smoking personally but people are responsible for their own bodies and their own health and it's nobody else' business what they do with it. If people weren't so primitive in their thinking and would mind their own business we would be living in a much happier, free and better world.
+Mary von Bilodeau Actually, nicotine is a marvelous drug with many positive effects. In several studies, people who used nicotine were compared with those who didn't. The nicotine-users scored higher on tests; higher in memory, and higher in concentration. It also suppresses appetite and is helpful for people trying to lose or maintain weight. I've never known a fashion model who wasn't also a smoker. It works.
Trust me - if it had no positive effects, no one would smoke long enough to become addicted. It also fights hunger and is useful as a diet drug.
It's a paradoxical alkaloid. Smokers can increase energy by taking faster, but shallower, drags. When inhaled more slowly and less frequently, it's a relaxer. Scientists find the drug fascinating. It's one of the few drugs which maintains its tolerance level. If one quits smoking for several years, but then has one or two, the smoker will almost immediately return to his/her previous intake with no ill effects. Contrast that with any opiate or subset of phenobarbital/barbiturate, where tolerance has to be rebuilt or the user will die. (The dizziness new smokers feel isn't from the nicotine, but from carbon dioxide and lower oxygen being delivered to the brain.)
Filters are quite dangerous. Many of the flavors added to tobacco are also quite dangerous. I agree with you there.
Nicotine is one of the deadliest natural poisons in the plant world. Soaking a cigar in water until the nicotine is released can actually kill someone. Smoke that cigar and live. Weird. I find it to be as fascinating as researchers do.
+Impression Television Dude, you've only been smoking for 14 years. Get back to us when you've smoked for 30. If everyone who smoked died of lung cancer, or if smoking caused cancer the first year they smoke, there would be like three smokers in the world.
I'm for legalization of all drugs. That would stop gang murders the next day, since there'd be no money in it. But there's big money for the government in keeping tobacco legal (not just for tobacco taxes and Southern states' agriculture and economy). There's even more money in keeping illegal drugs illegal. Ever since Nixon started the laughable war on drugs, budgets for the DEA and police departments in general has gone up every year. We've privatized prisons so that corporations actually make a profit when keeping people in prison. Meantime, the Reagan administration used cocaine money to fund an illegal rebellion against a freely-elected Sandinista government. It's just so much bullshit.

no way!!!!! I live in North Carolina and I went to Wilmington last weekend, I stayed in a friends beach house and he had like 50 Venus flytrap plants!!!!!
Yes They are only found in north and Southy Carolina
You can find them in the Florida Everglades also
ballena asesina does not mean whale killer. It really means killer whale.... it´s quite well translated... whale killer should be asesina de ballenas or mata ballenas so...
+J Bica
But that part was not really the fact though.
Will do. :)
+Think Fact thank you :) i ll be waiting then
+J Bica killer whale in spanish grammar is whale killer. The noun comes before the adjective in spanish grammar.
+Jarron Williams J Bica is right. killer whale refers to a whale that kills, so, in spanish, it is "ballena asesina".
Orcas travel in “pods” not “”herds”
and all dolphins are type of whales
you have the internet at your disposal and yet you don't know that a pod is a smaller part of a herd; and that Orcas travel in one or the other depending on how far they are traveling. Nice going.
@@davrickdavrick7245 no, they are all a type of Cetacean, in the whale family.
I have looked extensively at the internet regarding this and consulted a family member who is a biologist. They travel in “pods.”A large number is called a “group”. I can not find anywhere that calls them a herd. Please provide your source if you have one that states that herd is the correct definition.
TheOneanjel I am with poster, never have I seen killer whales referred to as a herd... EVER and I have been out to study the Northern Resident pod in San Juan island, WA.
Where do you get this info?
lol at the Mona Lisa facts. Quite interesting!
I liked the Prado version best.
We all have messed up phrases guy and gals. In my family some of us say.. "Cousint" instead of the correct "Cousin" pronouncement lol
Lots of people bustin yer chops dude. I liked it. For what that's worth.

the finger pruning thing is what helps you grip stuff. my pancreas was damaged by undiagnosed Gaul stones ,which made me instantly sever diabetic. the episode put me in the hospital three weeks and i ended up with bad nerve damage pain in my hands and feet. it is from hell pain and for years i was saved by methadone and lead a normal life until the opiod hysteria, and the first excuse doctors had, they took it away. i was given the choice of suicidal pain ,or lyrica, a super strength Prozac type drug. although methadone don't make you feel high,they gave me lyrica that made me higher than i had ever been. within days my hands and feet and arms and legs were numb and felt like wrapped in plastic. but that freaking pain was still their and it made me feel mentally ill. i found more methadone and then a new doctor. but the plastic feeling never when away and i can't grip anything and need shoes all the time. everything i grab ,is like trying to grab a wet ice cube. what a fucked up world i live in.
Thank you. The Mona Lisa was my favourite piece of info
yeah did not know there were naked ones. I guess sexting was used back then by on canvass.
The most interesting one is the monalisa painting ,, and your video is really good i never heard none of these facts :) .. keep going bruhhh
After seeing the positive feedback you can definitely expect more to come! I thought starting with the Mona Lisa painting would be a good one, I'm happy you liked that one best! Thanks for the comment!
You welcome :) glad that you commented back
I definitely try when I get the time! It's just extremely time consuming to get back to everybody! But I always at least try to get it back to as many people as I can! Have a good one!
:) you too thanks a lot dude , keep the good work
Yeah you really would think that fact would be more well-known, considering it's the most famous painting in the world.
Don't remember being this entertained by fairly irrelevant facts. Good job.

My favorite was the fact that Vikings would have two battles. Very cool!
The narrator looks like he could be the love child of Edward Norton and the lead singer for the Goo Goo dolls (Johnnie Reznick?)!
“Without further ado* means without fuss; immediately” without further to do??? I don’t understand 😫😫
