    Just a side note...My seven year old LOVES your videos...and your mustache, "it goes better with his voice"
    Everyday she wants to watch and learn something new. At seven she doesn't comprehend everything but she is bright and remembers the stories most likely due to the visual depictions. She asks a lot of questions and her five year old sister likes to associate what she sees with something she has seen or experienced. It's quite cute. I learn a lot because I watch them twice, once to prescreen the video for age appropriateness then to watch with the girls and answer as many questions as I can that your videos inspire.
    So, thank you very much for doing what you do. You are very appreciated by millions you will never know.

      Please read this for 1 minute, it is important. 🙏
      God created time, and time has a beginning, middle, and end, and so God has no beginning,
      as time doesn't apply to him before he created it.
      Please continue reading below.
      God had to of create time. Think about it, also who created stars and planets if life created itself?
      Think about it, if God exists he created the whole earth and space, cant he make you sleep and eat less?
      If you go from sleeping 8 hours a day and getting tired if you sleep 6 hours, to having blessing in your sleep and sleeping less (4 or less hours, personally it gets shorter over time for me as I have more trust in god) it proves a God exists to me.
      Also it might only be 6 hours for you at first but i suggest taking it slow and working up to trusting that God can make you sleep 4 or so hours
      Thats what I did. I slept at first for 6 hours instead of 10 when I tried relying on God. Now I slept today for 2 hours or so. I work it up over time.
      Try it for yourself and see. Just turn off your alarm and trust in God. I'm sorry I don't mean any offence so I don't assumed you don't believe in God
      Please continue reading below.
      This experience really proved a God exists to me and now I really care for my time as I can utilize it to raise me in the hereafter.
      It will raise you a lot in paradise if you believe and there is no harm in believing in the one god. You can even believe in your own God(s), no offence but I just want to spread the word. As think about a trash can filled with tiny rocks and you take out a rock every 20 years. All the rocks can be taken out and you are still in paradise. Isn't it better to invest for the next life even if there's a just 20% chance god could exist?
      And God says in paradise there are things you can't imagine, so a thousand times an orgasm or a thousand times the flavor of your favorite food is a possibility.
      My teachers taught me you just trust in God and get what you believe. Nowadays I sleep 30 minutes and eat a few bites.
      Also if you try to get blessing and start sleeping less, be sure to share this comment to your family and friends for their own good, just show them this comment :) invitation to god is a great deed
      And let them know to share this comment as well
      Please see below to copy this comment.
      I also advise sharing this comment with your social following or even running ads to it as invitation to God is rewarded as if you get multiple red camels if you convert 1 person and the equivalent would be multippe red BMWs in our time so imagine getting 100 thousand dollars for each convert. I urge you to share this message or post it all over youtube.
      Please click the link to copy and paste this comment and feel free to edit it however you please:
      pastebin.com/EyD6CBRW
      But first see our site below.
      If you want to learn more, click this link to a site that proves which God exists.
      Abookwithfacts.com
      I also try to dedicate the extra time I have to god as I would be sleeping anyways.
      God really loves you helping people so I suggest you get the app Freerice which donates a bowl of rice when you answer 10 vocabulary questions.
      Of course you dont have to 🙂 but I would suggest it as it would raise you in the next life and better it
      Thank you for your time and have a great day 🙂
      Please I beg you for your own good, believe in God🙏

Coming from northern Ontario, the Scottish countryside was quite a change for me and that North Sea air is really something invigorating to experience from Lake Superior environs, which I explored as a boy. You provided numerous versions of the hanging monkey story but only one story about bananas and I thought it was funny that only a candidate for mayor with a fruity promise was involved, and no monkey.

And the picture it's split screened with looks nothing like Burnhaven either.

    I love taking a hit of my Sour Diesel (or a well balanced hybrid) after work and then turning the world off and doing what Sigma Males love to do most, learn new things. and what better way to start my evening research than with a great new video by Thoughty2!?
    Thanks brother..keep up the great work. Discovering your videos is a momentous occasion for me!

    …and yet once again our cousin from across the pond gives us a rollicking good laugh (at England’s expense), a fun little bit of fluff to make us go “huh?!!!” and a bit of useless trivia we can all pull out at the next blue blood cocktail party to liven it up when those blue bloods begin to nod off….keep em coming “42”…..

    4:45. Hartlepudlian fishermen: Is that a French man? I've never seen one, but I guess it looks like one.
    11:30. Me: Is that Charlie the chimpanzee from Monkey World? I've only seen him on t.v. but it looks like him. Hey Charlie, what are you doing so far from Dorset?
    RIP Charlie. And RIP to any monkeys who were executed. They are precious animals. And I find the theory that an innocent child may have been hanged to be very disturbing.

      What is "the Telephone Game"?
      Chinese whispers (far older than the invention of the telephone) is when you stand in a line (or circle) and one person whispers a message to the next, who then whispers to the next and so on until the last person says out loud what they heard. Mishearing and misremembering lead to a distorted or often incomprehensible message nothing like the original.
      It is a very old parlour or party game, but used to describe misinformation distant from the source.

Ive never seen anyone use a CZ before! That's so cool! I was so excited, I was like, 'Holy crap, did Thoughty use MY gun?! My gosh that's MY gun, sweet!"
