Actually, the Wright Brothers did invent the airplane in Ohio. They just flew it in North Carolina.
I think to a lot of people an invention begins to exist once it's been demonstrated to work.
Yeah but North Carolina has nothing else to hang their hat on so you might as well just let them have that.. it's honestly kind of pathetic because of any place closer had a high enough hill then North Carolina would have nothing
@@arosieworld How about Vicks, overalls, the Barcode, Pepsi, miniature golf, Ctrl-Alt-Delete, and Krisypy Kreme.
For God's sake. Again? Really? The Wright brothers invented everything in Dayton. They only tested it in North Carolina because there's nowhere in the Miami Valley that's high enough that didn't have trees and was safe enough. The testing was done in North Carolina. Not the invention. The Wright brothers never even lived there at all. For any length of time. It was a testing ground, that's all. The first successful flight was there. But that's it. And North Carolina has been coasting on that fact for over a hundred years. But it was all invented in Ohio in Dayton. So it's a flat out lie saying it was invented there. Can't imagine why us Ohioan's get irritated about it 🙄. Also Edison was from Ohio. He patented his inventions in New Jersey that's true. And a few he "came up with/stole" while he lived in New Jersey but he came up with the majority of them while he still lived in Ohio. He just didn't file the patents until he lived in New Jersey. But if that's your limitation of when the patent was filed then half the inventions on the list are incorrect. And either weren't filed in the state the person used to live in that's claiming it. Or by the person who either bought the idea from the actual inventor. And didn't actually invent it. Or stole the idea after learning about it and actually filed the patent before the actual inventor could. There's a very looooooooong history of people not filing patents and someone else stealing it and claiming credit *Edison... cough*. So that list. Along with most states claims depending on how you view patents vs. actual inventions invented by the actual inventor is bs. And yes the traffic light was invented in Ohio and so was the vacuum, the gasoline powered engine, chewing gum, Teflon, the cash register was also invented in my hometown of Dayton. And the car starter was also invented In Ohio by Charles Kettering. Whom we named an entire freaking city after that's directly next to Dayton. Charles Kettering by himself holds over 300 patents. The only reason even Edison beats that is because he sole most of them from other people and because he literally worked FOR the patent office. I really hate videos like that. It's literally disseminates lies that have been told for sometimes even hundreds of years and just makes people dumber smh 😔
@@ekibeatlasia2422 I mean with that list is it any wonder they steal the airplane?
The cotton gin honestly changed world history
Yep. And with a complex legacy. On one hand, it was one of the inventions that started us on the path of becoming a world power but on the other, solidified slavery in the South which had been dying for pure economic reasons.
The cotton gin was one of the most important inventions in history. Because of it, cotton became the U.S.'s #1 export in the 1800s. It was what fueled the south. Unfortunately it also bolstered the institution of slavery, as the high demand for cotton was met by way of a steep increase in slave labor. The cotton gin changed America in massive ways. So yes, the impact of the cotton gin makes it worthy of being on this list. In England the impact would be like someone having invented the tea kettle.
It was probably just as important for the UK, as for the US; "cotton became the U.S.'s #1 export in the 1800s." Cheap cotton spurred a boom in the UK's textile industry, and the resulting industrial revolution.
The cotton gin eliminated the problem of the cotton spider. It’s a small spider but it’s bite though not deadly can cause fingers to swell and damage them. It is a big problem in Georgia. A lot of pickers lost fingers from amputation because of that spider. The cotton gin simplified things and took care of the dangerous part of field work. Unfortunately it’s invention accelerated the development of the slave trade down in Georgia which was taken down after the civil war. The modern cotton gin is actually built into the harvester itself making the trade more efficient and more profitable.
Surfing can be an invention the same way that basketball can be an invention, c'mon. And yes, the cotton gill was literally world changing.
The cotton gin definitely was important, especially to Britain, as turning American cotton into cloth was the big industry there!
The cotton gin made producing fabrics from cotton faster and simpler.
@@twenty3enigma and dramatically worsened conditions for enslaved people
@@alexbaye1618 True. And it also increased the importation of slaves to be able to harvest more cotton.
I kinda miss the days when he was learning and looking more stuff up. Lately his commentary makes me want to throw a shoe at him sometimes lol.
His responses to surfing and the cotton gin make it clear that he has no idea the magnitude of some of these things' contributions to culture and society.
Luka, I don't know why you think "surfing" can't count as in invention. Any modern day sport had to be invented. Baseball was invented, cricket, and soccer, and American football were all invented. That's not saying the idea of "hitting a ball with a stick" didn't exist prior to some of these, but to codify the rules and equipment of a game into an organized sport absolutely counts as an invention.
I always considered surfing as an activity before it being a sport. Yes, once rules and a scoring system were applied in a competitive setting, it became a sport as well. But, in general, most people that catch some waves do it just because they enjoy it and find it fun and challenging. It still had to be invented though whether you see it as a sport or an activity.
@@elecjack1 it definitely was an activity before being a sport, but when someone says “he invented surfing” they’re talking about the codified rules, regulations and practices that led to surfing becoming a professional endeavor. No one invented the idea of throwing a ball into a hoop, but someone absolutely invented basketball. Hopefully the distinction is clear.
Rap has its roots in the 70’s and hip-hop became popular in the 80’s not the 90’s.
'Blondie' is a good example.
@@timreno72No. She. Is. Not.
Blondie is an early example of rap going mainstream. But the ROOTS of rap are in the Bronx where the DJs would flip funk and soul records and rap along with it.
@@timreno72 😂 Yes and Blondie is 🔥 but I’d argue that DJ Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash and Sugar Hill Gang are probably examples of figures that are more essential and central to its origins.
@@you_can_call_me_T Blondie is the entire band not just the lead singer. They did have the first number one song that contained rap so it definitely helped with rap’s exposure and development into a global force. So although this person is trolling, I don’t think they should be dismissed altogether as an influential force in the genre. They showed how rap could be combined with other genres like New Wave to make an interesting new thing. The “rap break”. Just like Aerosmith and Run-DMC did later with “Walk this Way”.
@@jefferoni1984 Where did I dismiss Blondie? I actually said the same thing you said but in fewer words: She helped bring rap mainstream. But, again, she is not a good example of the ROOTS of rap, as the other commentor stated. (And I know Blondie is the band, but I said "she" again just to get on your nerves.)
The cotton gin allowed everyone to wear nice clothes. Clothing was super expensive, so the poor had worn and patched clothing. Now we can get a T-Shirt for the cost of a sandwich.
For Texas I’d definitely go with the integrated circuit instead, invented by Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments. I mean that absolutely underpins modern life in every way. And a few years later he led the team that invented the handheld calculator. I once was a few feet from him and what the books didn’t mention was that he was damn near 7 feet tall.
19:40 Yes. Light bulbs can EASILY last over 70+ years. However, they make them last only like a year to like a year and a half at the most, so that it can be a profitable business.
The reason Kitty Hawk is attributed with First Flight of an aircraft, instead of Kill Devil Hills, is because Kitty Hawk had the only post office in the area with the only telegraph line which was used to surreptitiously broadcast the event to a newspaper in Norfolk, VA. Furthermore, KDH was not an incorporated town at the time of the flights, whereas Kitty Hawk was.
Rap, Jazz, Rock N Roll, rhythm and blues, gospel music, country music were all invented by black Americans. We gave the world music. He could’ve easily researched that. The states gave the world a lot of inventions we use today
southerners with Irish scot ancestry had country music too they all influenced eachother
As it pertains to Light Bulbs: I'm an engineer, and in engineering you learn about something called "planned obsolescene" which is a fancy word for designing something to break after a certain period of time using critical materials known for "atmospheric integration failure" (rusting, for example). Wikipedia 'plannded obsolescence', it has a fascinating story that began with, you guessed it, the light blub.
I'm only as far as Indiana & I'm questioning your ability to search online for answers. Vulcanizing rubber GREATLY improved tires. The Cotton Gin was instrumental in the huge increase in Slavery! You could almost blame it for the US Civil War. As for your idea of an old wash machine, was actually a wringer to squeeze as much water as possible out of the clothing & was pretty dangerous for your hands.
Funny thing about Kevlar that the video doesn’t mention is that it was invented sort of accidentally. They were actually trying to make a better rubber for tires and wound up inventing body armor instead!
It’s also not bullet “proof”. My vest is nylon and has steel inserts, and can use ceramic inserts. Kevlar helmets are used, but they help deflect bullets at certain angles, they don’t typically stop bullets.
Many inventions were the product of a happy accident 😊😊
For my home state of Pennsylvania.....
-- fifth wheel (trailer hitch)..... it was made in my hometown, actually. Along with the airstream trailer, by the same guy, by the way.
-- ferris wheel..... made in Pittsburgh. It was unveiled in the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago.
-- movie theater..... 1905 in Pittsburgh
-- polio vaccine .....polio was a real epidemic in the 1940s, '50s & '60s
-- gas station..... 1913 in Pittsburgh
-- the odometer..... made in 1775 by Benjamin Franklin for his carriage-borne office deliveries
-- revolving doors.... invented in 1888 in Philadelphia by Theophilus Van Kannel.
-- roll of toilet paper (production)..... Irvin & Clarence Scott of the Scott Paper Co. was the first company to produce the product in 1890 in Philadelphia
-- the United States of America itself..... it was agreed upon to form the US on July 2nd, 1776.
I listed the Bessemer Process and the first computers in my comment. Yet this documentary picks bubble gum. . . the dumbing down of 'modern' generations is real.
Not to mention that the first paved road was invited in Lancaster Pennsylvania
birthplace of the oil industry as well for PA
In Oahu Hawaii I visited the area at the beach were the waves are strong but allowed people to surf. They hold international surfing contests and of course came up with the surf board.
We didn't know about the contest at first when we visited. The rest of our visit was spent watching the "Pipe Pro" 2012 competition. No regrets, those athletes were risking life out there. Most amazing thing I've ever seen a human do.
A correction: MS-DOS was not the first operating system for personal computers. The first was CP/M, created by Gary Kildall in 1974.
MS-Dos was known as QS-Dos when Microsoft bought it for $50,000
The parking meter was chosen for Oklahoma, but it has had several inventions that are more important (and less annoying) in my opinion. Nexrad radar, the shopping cart, Pressurized flight suits (like the astronauts wear), The Ditch Witch (a mechanical trenching machine), Voice Mail, and the Electric Guitar (although this one is disputed by some).
The Development of the Atomic bomb was done in Los Alamos NM and tested at the Trinity Site in NM which is closer to Socorro(50 miles) vs Alamogordo (80miles)
Vermont has something more important than sandpaper. Elish Otis invented the safety brake for passenger elevators in 1853. This allowed building more than 5 stories buildings. In1857 a department store in NYC was the first to install an elevator and people would go to ride the elevator more than to shop.
If someone hasn't sent him every flavor of Gatorade I will be shocked as a newcomer🤣🤣
The flat broom was also in inveted in Kentucky. If your wondering what a flat broom is, we just call it a broom now.
"What did they use to eat before cheeseburgers?" is an amazing reaction
What's funny to me about the Gatorade part is just a couple weeks ago i googled what electrolytes were because i had no idea. Turns out its just a fancy marketing term for vitamins and minerals 😆 🤣
And salt. When you’re sick, you lose a lot of fluids, and your sodium becomes imbalanced, so you need salt to get it back in whack.
@@redstateforevermy name is JJ too
It’s the dissolved ions that are important in biological electric signals and muscle contractions. Mainly sodium, potassium and calcium.
@@redstateforever "back in whack"
I've never heard this said before. I can't determine whether it sounds right or not.
New Jersey here. I spent 8 yrs in the navy. Worked on f14 fighter jets. Wound up woth severe hearing loss
And somethjng worse called tinitis. Trust me hearing aids are a godsend to me.
Andrew Higgins, a New Orleans-based boat builder and inventor, developed and manufactured landing craft critical to the success of the U.S. military during World War II. The best known was the Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel (LCVP), or Higgins Boat, used to land American troops on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day.
Hearing aids are just for people that are usually just not able to hear well. It works to help the ear receive sound vibrations though the canal better, electronically.
The first 24 hour available satellite based positioning system was invented in Lafayette Louisiana, called Starfix.
What have you used more:
Anesthetics or cotton?
Just a thought.
You would find a massive amount of Californians that would claim Levis were Californian since levi Strauss was San Francisco businessman and the company was in San Francisco and the jeans were made in San Francisco. Also hip-hop started in 1973. So it's 50 years old.
Idaho also invented dehydrated potatoes aka instant mashed potatoes
Seeing as how you were disappointed in California’s invention, I thought you might like to hear that the high-five was also invented in California in 1977 by Dodger’s players Dusty Baker and Glenn Burke. Also, the skateboard and the Cobb salad were invented in California as well.
Dusty baker inventing the high five is one of those facts that blows my mind every time I’m reminded by it
Didn't the internet come from California?
Muybridges experiments at Stanford capturing motion with photography probably were the first legitimate motion pictures
The man who invented knock-knock jokes should get a no bell prize.
The first time I got a universal remote control, I thought to myself, ‘This changes everything.’
I saw a sign the other day that said, ‘Watch for children,’ and I thought, ‘That sounds like a fair trade.’
It's actually called Nobel Prize, but I hear ya!
Dad jokes …
The light bulb has to be one of the most influential inventions from New Jersey
A cotton candy machine or candy floss machine, which I have used, has a small heater, that melts sugar, which spins around real fast. The sides come up and taper back in at the top where it tapers in it has a bunch of small holes. While the sugar is spun and melted it slips through the holes and cools in a thin string.
The birth of all modern electronics started in Illinois. Before that a woman in my home town invented the dish washer.
The world wide web, the telephone, the iron lung, the microwave....even chocolate chip cookies.
They went with facebook for Massachusetts 🤣
Facebook 🙄 really I would've went with chocolate chip cookies, this seems more important than Facebook but that's just my opinion.
Candy floss is just melted sugar that turns stringy as it's rapidly cooled when forced into a wind bowl. Then you collect the sugar.
With Alaska, the guy who invented ranch dressing was from Thayer, Nebraska
Hamburgers were actually invented and it was invented in Connecticut in 1895 at Louis' Lunch Sandwich Shop. This restaurant is still in business today.
Another cool thing you can think Alabama for are windshield wipers
Cotton candy machines work by heating sugar up until it's melting, then throwing it out of that spinny nozzle in the center. Since it's so small and thin, it hardens up as soon as it's out.
Cotton candy is basically a chunk of sugar but really fluffy with air.
Hey! He forgot that the Atomic bomb was invented in Chicago! It was first tested in New Mexico.
I hate how much we suck here in Mississippi. No one even uses Pine-Sol anymore
West Virginia is also where pepperoni rolls were invented. They're also pretty much only found here - it's kind of rare to find pepperoni rolls anywhere else. Maybe VA, OH and KY but it is very likely people in any other state had never even heard of it - to be fair, there are Americans who don't even know West Virginia is a state lmao.
Also, cotton candy machines work by melting sugar in the little pot in the center, then -as it spins - it throws out strands of sugar which get caught on the stick.
Hovercraft are used by the militaries of the US, and UK, and I'm assuming others as well. I believe they're also used for search and rescue, and as commercial ferries all over the world.
Regarding submarines, Connecticut actually beat out South Carolina by more than 80 years. David Bushnell launched his “Turtle” in 1776. Though the Turtle was invented in Connecticut, its one actual battle was in New York harbor where it unsuccessfully attacked the HMS Eagle on September 6 of that year. A full-sized model of the Turtle is on display at the Connecticut River Museum in Essex, CT.
Yes bottle caps were important. Carbonated soda and beer bottles had to use flip tops which were much harder to produce.
For Massachusetts, I know of a much more important invention to world history: The Telephone. Yes, Alexander Graham Bell's laboratory was in Boston, MA. Sadly, it was destroyed when the West End was razed in the 1950s to make room for Government Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the New City Hall. Other MA inventions: Boston Cream Pie, Chocolate Chip Cookie, Marshmallow Fluff.
Basketball, and volleyball
Colorado - Has the lowest obesity rate
Also Colorado - Invents cheeseburger.
That is probably the most Colorado thing to ever Colorado....
Ohio invented the Airplane. The plane was designed and built in Dayton Ohio. They tested it in Ohio first but didn’t have the wind, so they asked the national weather service for locations with high sustained winds and picked kittyhawk. Giving North Carolina credit is like saying the Arizona Cardinals are the 2023 Super Bowl champs because they hosted the game even tho they didn’t play in it. Nobody from North Carolina designed the plane, built it or flew on it.
There were a whole lot of people who were not slaves who picked cotton. We were taught that 1.6% of Southerners had slaves and that they were of a certain group... Even though the cotton gin had been invented many years ago, I knew many people in my life who picked cotton and were not black and were not slaves. By a certain time, the South provided most of the cotton in the world like 80% or so. The South became the Confederate States because the South was 25% of the population and paid 80% of the taxes. Then the North attacked the South and there is so much more one can learn. So it was like other wars, a bankers' war. The South suffered for many years after being attacked. I know of towns that still didn't have sewer lines or adequate power lines during the 1970s. Water systems ran on well water. One can't believe public schooling propaganda very much. Public schools didn't know much truth about us Indigenous peoples.
No, gum was made by tree sap before. Now it's mostly synthetic edible rubber.
Willis Carrier is the one who invented air conditioning with using refrigeration to cool the air along with condensing moisture out of the air, simply by putting ice in front of a fan won’t do much since the melting ice which will turn into water which will end up evaporating adding humidity to the air.
GatoraDE IS VERY SWEET, SO YOU NEVER TASTE ANY SALT! America invented the wheel, the plough, the removable printing press, electricity, TV, and the internet!!!
As a hockey player from Connecticut…. I LOVE vulcanized rubber 😂
I just leaned something today. I use to live in Lynchburg Virginia for years and had no idea that chapstick was invented there. How cool. My mind is blown.
Yea as soon as I saw it was Briggs, I knew the list would be stupid random shit that wasn't filtered according to any criteria.
PA Computers vs gum; I would think the computer is actually more impactful.
Lip balm - Chapstick on its own isnt bad, the problem is that a lot of "chapstick" like the more popular brands have literal menthol which is addictive to your skin which causes the reliance on it and some have alcohol which dries out your lips so you use it more.
Ingredients matter the natural ones without a ton of alcohols are the best
Like so many brands, Chapstick has changed the recipe and now Chapstick lip balm does almost nothing for dry lips. It used to be the best thing on the market now and it’s not.
As an Oklahoman, while I'm aware that the parking meter was invented in Oklahoma I don't considering the best invention. The inventions that are used by people on a regular basis that come from Oklahoma are the shopping cart and voicemail. The shopping cart was invented in the 1930s by grocery store owner Sylvan Goldman from Oklahoma City. Voicemail was invented in the 1970s by engineer Gordan Matthews from Tulsa. While not something most of use on a regular basis, it is something we hear regularly in our music: the electric guitar. The first electric guitar was made and recorded in the 1930s by musician Bob Dunn from Beggs. To me those inventions are way more interesting than the parking meter. Pilot Wiley Post invented the pressurized suit for high altitude flight in the 1930s and Earl Burford invented the automatic twist tie machine in the 1960s at his bakery. Which again, I think those are more interesting than the parking meter.
I actually knew about Gatorade. I've known this for years. If you watched a football, the ones that win they pour Gatorade over their coaches head.
As a Marylander, I endorse the bottle cap as being cool. Baltimore MD also had the first gas-powered street lights in the US, and the first gas-power company, though that was invented in the UK.
I'd have selected cordless power tools as a more significant invention having been invented by Black and Decker in 1917. On a lighter side, how aboiut Old Bay Seasoning.
Actually,
The original Walton Drug Store (Walmart) is in Kingfisher Oklahoma where the Walton family owned a farm and Sam Bud and Elmer Walton were born👍
You are right! I think the longest lasting light bulb had been going for like 100 yrs
In Shelbyville, Illinois the dishwasher was invented in 1895.
Dude mentions rollerblades but shows an image of roller skates
Why would he show conventional roller skates instead of rollerblades?!?
Ferris presented his idea to the board in Chicago for the 1893 worlds fair
Some of the mentions are the first continuously used modern inventions or first commercially viable inventions rather than The first time invented
I find it hilarious how it goes from cyclotron, a practically sci-fi crazy advanced machine that revolutionized multiple fields of science, and then goes to cotton candy - an overpriced treat.
Also, he really underplayed the value of the transistor. It is arguably the _most_ influential invention, at least since the steam engine.
Cheese dip was invented in Arkansas. The World Cheese Dip Championship is held in Little Rock every year.
The first Soda in the USA was created in Michigan as well. It is called Vernors.
24:12 It works like this, this piece in the middle heats up and rotates very quickly, and it is full of holes on the side, then you add sugar to this piece, the sugar will melt and practically liquid will spray through the holes because of the centrifugal force, liquid sugar is very viscous, so it will form small jets of sugar and when you pass the stick through these jets, the liquid sugar turns into a very thin string of sugar, and will wrap around the stick.
How have you not had Gatorade
I mean could be a location based thing. I have heard him mention that many popular sports drinks aren’t available in the UK.
Also in Maine, Chester Greenwood invented the modern earmuff in 1873 in my hometown of Farmington. The first day of winter is a holiday know as Chester Greenwood day.
Depends on the type of Gatorade as the Gatorade water is salty but any flavored Gatorade covers up the salt with some type of fruit flavor. Honestly you’re going to sweat it out or pee it out so it doesn’t really matter.
Kaelin's restaurant in Louisville KY,claims to have invented the Cheeseburger in the 20's,and are world reknown!
*Da’Vinci helicopters into chat*
Dude you were super petty on this reaction. LOL!
I'm surprised for Illinois they didn't go with the first nuclear reactor.
He's wrong about the air plane. Yes the Wright brothers took there first flight in North Carolina but they invented it in OHIO!
Inventions of the United States:
1/5 of States: "Here is something that will save your life"
1/5 of States: "Here is something that you can eat or drink"
1/5 of States: "Here is something that will make your life easier"
1/5 of States: "Here is something that doesn't really have a useful purpose, but you will enjoy using it often"
1/5 of States: "Here is something that will probably cause you to hurt yourself but you will like it on occasion"
My State: "Parking Meter, take it or leave it"
14:26 you're thinking of ragtime music, which is arguably the precursor to jazz.
Man this list is bad. Not only was Windows not the first PC operating system, it wasn't even the first one released by Microsoft.
How about for New York instead of Toilet paper we just go with the entire company of IBM. As in the company that introduced the IBM PC along with a MASSIVE list of other important products.
I also love how they just sort of glossed over the importance of transistors without mentioning they are at the heart of virtually all modern electronics and all computers. But you know, no big deal or anything.
And how about for California we go with THE FREAKING INTERNET! The first nodes of ARPANET which later became DARPANET and then simply Internet were connected together in 1969 at UCLA.
A light bulb left on will always last longer than a light bulb that you've turned off and back on. The repeated heating and cooling of the filament is what burns out a light bulb.
Great reaction, man! I'm from Pennsylvania.
Utah has a lot of good ones. The tv and the traffic lights to name a couple
The state of Indiana had the first running automobile in the United States. Built by Charles H. Black of Indianapolis in 1891. That automobile is part of the collection at the Indianapolis Children's Museum.
My great great grandfather invented the Kingston carburetor!
The real definition of a hearing aid is an adjustable device that can be tailored to specific frequencies. Otherwise, it's just an amplifier. People differ in what frequencies they can and cannot hear which is why hearing tests are a series of frequencies and not just volume.
A dentist also invented the electric chair, go figure......
Vulcanized rubber. Goodyear. Come on Lav. Tires, brother. 😉
wow iphone over internet for California
Right like how
Is that where Al Gore was when he invented it?
@@Downtime-33he didn't.
The internet was invented by the united states military same as Facebook don't kid yourself
US military invented
I'm pretty sure that blue jeans have been attributed to being from other places and not the US. They existed in Italy and France and I think it's speculated that slaves taught people in the west about indigo in order to make jeans. Pretty sure that the words "jeans," comes from Genoa, Italy.
Denim invented in France. However blue jeans were invented by Strauss and Davis
The Kodak camera was invented in NY - Rochester Specifically.. not sure where that dude got his info
The most common type of hearing aid, the kind that is mostly outside of the ear and has a small part that goes into the ear canal, requires the hearing-impaired person to have at least some hearing. The newer kind, which attaches to cochlear implants, does not. If the inner ear has working nervous system connections to the brain, the C.I.-based hearing aid will make up for insufficiencies in middle ear function.
I also wildly disbelieve the idea that nobody ate minced beef patties on bread before Colorado invented it
