@@Gb-eo6yp just thought u should know I got this comment notification while having late drinks at a bar, and it made me laugh so hard I did a spit-take of club soda 🤣
SACHIN SUNDARESAN Yes because the premises are different Plastic is the most commonly used material (it is also synthetic) Cotton is the most commonly used natural material
Austin Bartose Yes, but the problem happens when you dispose of those plastic items. A lot of it ends up in the ocean, especially from river mouths, and only a minority ends up being recycled or incinerated.
As someone with eczema, every fiber in my house is cotton, or cotton mixed with other natural fibers. All my clothes are cotton, my bed sheets, my towels, everything because it’s the only fiber that is gentle with my extremely sensitive skin.
This is a great explanation of the importance of cotton and contributes to the conversation around sustainable production and consumption. The synthetics we use do not totally biodegrade and sadly as they decompose they reach a point where micro plastics are left. We need to try and return to natural biodegradable fabrics and learn to re-purpose more efficiently.
Small note to the beginning : What you refer to there is "gambesson" , which was used amongst Europa too and could equally stop most cuts and piercings blows.
It's videos like this that make me continue to love Ted-Ed. Those cotton buds were so adorable I wanted to cry 😭😂❤️ kudos to the animators and scriptwriter/s 😂☺️

I wonder if Ted Ed will ever do a video on incense It's important to many cultures across the world and if things like cheese and tea have such interesting history, I'm sure incense does too.
the art style is so smooth
Very Kurzgesagt isn't?
Agreed
Fran Abenza Yes. It very much reminds me of Kurzgesagt.
went to the comment section for this, so cute and good!
It's Kurzgesagt, but with a slightly higher budget and less colour saturation
Cotton fibers: strong, resilient, durable, and HELLA CUUUUTE
And yet it still doesn't have a girlfriend

TedEd's cutest thumbnail so far
Animator: How cute do you want the cotton to be?
Ted-Ed: *Yes.*
1:42 uhm

CUTE COTTEN
Animator: Let's not compare cotton with Armor from Europe
Idk.. those baby cottons.. my heart melts down
The llamas dressed as scientists is so cool and funny at the same time...
lol
Adorable

Plastic is synthetic

Yes because the premises are different

I grew up in a cotton field and never thought to ask the questions you just answered. Well done.

Same here. The only exception I have is soft wool socks.
wool irritates my skin so much! but polyester is okay.
@@jessefisher1809 You might try Smartwool. Cotton socks don't work for me because they don't wick water. I do wear synthetic material socks at times.
😊
I somehow managed to misread the title as "Why is cotton terrifying?"
And I strongly agree.
It's terrifyingly cute.

How the f.ck did you misread that
@@MERG69 what
did you mean like you?
I have a phobia of the white freds in cotton, so yes... it's terrifying

Another great video, didn't know how much time is put in cotton farming. Art style was adorable❤️
I love you Ted Ed! My school uses your videos to teach us! Keep up the good work 👍
What a wonderful thing to hear! Thanks Kerishma Madhavan! 😊

Dude that outro music is so cool and pleasant to listen to.
This is my favourite video from Ted-Ed for sure. I mean how cute is this animation ☺️☺️
The seed at 1:00 & 3:57 UwU
Pop
Who knew cotton could be so *adorable* T^T 💕
Oof I edited my comment and lost the heart from Ted-Ed ;-;
The video is so smooth,relaxing and provides great knowledge that's why I love this channel
So that's where the trouble began... 3:57
That smile...
That Damned Smile....
When you live in North Carolina and this stuff grows everywhere
The art style is soo CUTE!
Can I just take a minute to thank Ted Ed! You made learning fun again!
Great comment 👍
It's videos like this that make me continue to love Ted-Ed. Those cotton buds were so adorable I wanted to cry 😭😂❤️ kudos to the animators and scriptwriter/s 😂☺️
Great comment 👍
The cotton seed looks cute..Ted ed has the best animation
That cute little cotton seed opening eyes at 1:04 😍😍😍
“Ted-ed discussing about where cotton is made”
My brain: *Cotton Candy*
Ononono
Bro...., How that guy melts in awe at 0:22 is everything for me.
Philosophers: what is life
Other people: why is cotton in everything
funny
*Fun Fact:*
Most Money is made out of 75% Cotton and 25% Linen
Depending on the country, Canada is at 100% plastics.
I always thought money was made by Paper.Why money use Cotton?.Please explain to me🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@Daiman01
To be more durable than glued together fiber (as in paper), even when paper was one of the early metal free methods, the materials were optimised once inks became water resistant.
@@Daiman01 Paper is extremely flimsy and using cotton inserts an extra security measure that prevents everyday people from printing bank notes.
Back in the Philippines, bills are usually made of abaca fibers
The animation really helped reinforce the concepts in this video!
The info is great but, hats off to the animation artists. 👏🏻
1:06 That is the cutest thing in the world!! 🥺🥺
W a t e r b a l l o n s
Bro ted ed is so good for boring times just bosstiing our knowledge in a fun way
Best animation of Ted Ed yet! Love it!
*Nice animation with such effort and legendary narration*
Videotitle: Why is cotton in everything?
Comment-Section: Why is Ted-Ed everywhere?
Love your attention to the community
I never would’ve been interested in a topic like this if not for the animation. Ted-Ed knows how to pick good animators for their videos.
Fun fact: cotton is "puuvilla" in finnish, literally meaning "wood wool"
i love ted-ed because it's like a weird science-y asmr with the soothing voices and smooth animation
Cotton is amazing I didn’t think there’d be so much history behind it
This is one of the rare times I’m actually watching this cuz I searched for it and not cuz I just randomly saw it. Thank you for having this!
even the smallest things make the greatest impacts in our daily lives
the cuteness adds to the base satisfaction i love it
This is by far the cutest 😍 video you've done, it makes want to go open my closet find a cotton tshirt and hug it 😚❤
The cotton flower look soo cute
Guide: that aztec has a inpenetrable armor.
Conquistador (loading musket): I got that covered.
2:13 the image on the right might be the greatest thing I've ever seen, seriously
I was more concentrated on the cute animation than the information
I love the animation😍😍😍
Fact: Pima cotton from the US has long fibers, making it both softer and more durable than regular cotton
I live in the cottenist producing county in Arizona and I found this article very informative and interesting. Thank you.
Pinal?
The animation
*AMAZING*
I couldn't stop smiling throughout the entire video 🥰
Could you make a video on alternative natural fibers like linen, hemp, wool, etc?:)
great again ted-ed keep up the fab work!!

Okay but you're literally commenting in every video I watch-

"The touch, the feel of cotton. The fabric of our lives."
whoever was responsible for the animations give them a shitload of money, a price and a hug
Coton Cells: *Flexing* “Yeah I’ve been hitting the gym recently”
Am I supposed to feel this way for cotton? Such loving affection?
BREAKING NEWS: We have invented a new Anti- Nuke armor! Made of...
Cotton!
Dollars bills made up by 75% cotton fibres?
n L try why do you think you can dry them out? Try and burn a ripped piece off a bill and burn paper next to it
I don’t think cotton can survive since element U could be too powerful than us and the cotton it self
And another thing,it’s flammable and can catch fire
the animation is just so...so...PERFECT O-O
Has anyone ever just thought how weird it is that cotton is a plant and doesn’t come from any animal. Nature is really surprising sometimes.
The animation is amazing! Especially the cotton! So cute!!
I wonder if Ted Ed will ever do a video on incense
It's important to many cultures across the world and if things like cheese and tea have such interesting history, I'm sure incense does too.
This animation is honestly adorably awesome
Fact: cotton is stronger when wet.
Shame then the famous ship the Titanic couldn't be built out of Cotton. 🤔🚢🎭->💮
why pls
@@Friendship1nmillion Galaxy brain moment here folks.
That got me thinking, does that mean we could artificially hydrate cotton in certain ways to make it stronger?
It can bend prison bars
Why is no one talking about the art style???
ITS SO GOOD. 👌😍😍
Me: Oh, look! The seed grew old. CUTE!!!!!
Seed and cotton as cloud thing: I look gooood…
wow! I like it!
Ok... Now I understand what others meant when you’re early... I don’t see good stuff...

What is the cotton plant's profit from making these long cells? What role do they play for the plant itself?
I was hoping to find out too
Sure glad I picked this video

Nice one Ted ed 👌, but wondered where is the Egyptian cotton from that😉
I never knew that cotton is in EVERYTHING...
the best of all animation on teded i guess
"Why is corn in everything?" would be a good video, I think.
