Here's another one:
In the 1960s a small comic book company was struggling with competition from other publishers. One employee considered quitting altogether to pursue his novel writing dreams. That employee walked into his boss's office one day to quit, but before he could do that, his boss made him create a team of superheroes to cash in on the success of DC's Justice League. The employee was reluctant, but his wife told him to make a comic book story in his own way.
That employee was Stan Lee, and he worked for Marvel Comics. He was tasked to create the Fantastic Four. (with acquaintance Jack Kirby, can't forget that)
One of THE BEST small decisions with a big impact EVER! Characters like them, Black Panther, the X-Men, and Spider-Man among others have been nothing short of iconic in pop culture and the media spawned since have been game changers. One of those times where listening to your wife is your best bet. 😂
RDJ in Iron Man 2008 ending:
"The truth is... I am Iron Man."
The MCU explodes into what it is now.
About Lego:
_he would eventually buy a plastic molding machine in 1974 and the rest is history._
*Ole died in 1958.*
yeah i was thrown off by thaat part
Yeah, which makes me wonder how he did the little bumps and hollows on the wooden pieces. Collector items for sure.
Hahahaha
Yeah, I am more interested in when he bought his time travel machine!
Yeah it was in 47 he bought that macine lol.
Americans: WW1 started because of Germany
Some Serbian dude: Am I a joke to you?
A nice day for a drive today of course being June 28 1914 and around 10:45 a.m. in the morning
Serbian dude and an AUSTRIAN ARCH DUKE. Austria is its own country, separate from Germany(just next door) Look at some maps otherwise you will never get on "Jeopardy"
99% of Americans actuall do believe that lol. Source- an American.
Arguably also led to WW2 because of treaty of Versailles stipulations after ww1
Another small decision with big ramifications was French Formula One driver Bertrand Gachot assaulting a taxi driver and having to spend time behind bars, leading to an unknown German driver Michael Schumacher having to take his place. If that didn't happen, perhaps Damon Hill, Mika Hakkinen and Kimi Raikkonen would've had those seven titles split between them.
Totally agree i think definitely it would change history
I didn't know about this one. Not a huge f1 fan but that sounds like a great story. Thanks!
I wouldn’t count assaulting a taxi driver as a small decision
Crazy to think that’s how we got one of the GOATS lol
@@creator4413 small like a driver missing a race can happen for different reasons. But this one particular feels like a definitive point in the history which would have been forgotten not for Michael Schumacher becoming great
When the Titanic was sailing on April 14th at 11:39 -11:40PM a weird mirage effect was going on, the iceberg was also believed to have just turned over presenting itself in black against an already hazy sky. Binoculars were only for identification and if an object is already 30 seconds away from the ship, you turn iceberg or not. So binoculars would have done nothing for the ship. Thus the key made no difference.
Ignore the time stamp
@@red-whitestarline Very true. Also, the sea was described as smooth as a mirror, meaning the lookouts also could not see waves breaking against the berg, binoculars or not.
@@dxrebel also true
The real problem was that the ship was so poorly built, that the whole thing filled with water in no time at all.
@@JStryker47 On the contrary, they actually underestimated how well the ship was built. Thomas Andrews estimated around 1 hour before sinking, but the ship actually lasted 2 1/2 hours. Not to mention that the Lusitania sank in 18 minutes and it was one of the biggest ships in the world. So by no means was the ship built poorly after all it was the best of the day.
Abraham Lincoln just barely missed being a part of the Donner Party when his wife convinced him not to go at the last minute
Butterfly effect - awesome!
Funny how the smallest things often cause the biggest impacts
So you agree with every woman I've ever had an ENTANGLEMENT with? Thanks for that.
@@waynegoddard4065 What?
@@xualo8439 it’s better if you don’t understand, sweet child 😅
@@AntonyTheFidgetSpinnerMerchant ok
I thought I'd be hip and down with the times and call it an entanglement instead of a bonk. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Makes you wonder, inversely, what amazing inventions, creations or events didn't happen and still haven't happened because of a small thing getting in the way.
maybe we are one happy accident away from time travel
It’s pretty depressing what happened to Jack Ryan. Both him and his wife wanted the records to stay sealed, but Obama’s people and the Chicago Tribune fought tooth and nail in court to get them published because Ryan and Obama were nearly neck and neck.
Only time I’ve ever heard of divorce records being unsealed despite both parties wanting them to stay sealed.
1:33 Rome actually had a pretty interesting story with meteorites, as those rocks from space were seen as messages or gifts from the Gods. For example, Elagabalus, the trans*xual emperor, constructed a temple named the Elagabalium, in which he and his people venerated a black meteorite found some years priors. They also performed *rgies in front of that rock, actually
Lol oh God. Yeah and the way they "adopted" Catholicism is pretty evil and greedy
Yeah but at the time 0rgies were nothing special. It is what they did. The Greeks did the same thing before battle. Watch Spartacus "Blood & Sand" which is more graphic uncensored(Italian made I believe)film. This is the way battles should be fought - not super weapons U fire from your couch.
Germany would've lost WW2 even if D-day failed or never happened. By 1944 the Soviets had already reached Warsaw and was entering East Prussia. Not to mention that the US had supplied the Allies with food and ammunition since 1940. Germany simply never had the same logistics
The US sold products (including their gas) to Germany during the war too, too much money not too I guess.
Yes, it was confirmed Axis really lost their peak when they failed the conquest of Stalingrad.
@@WilliamDearthwd Germany didn't have the logistics to support such a massive war. They stood no chance
Yeah, and also another reason they met less resistance than they normally would have, they tricked the Axis powers to deploy troops at the wrong locations outside Normandy.
At 00:36 I nearly spit Pepsi up my nose thinking "wtf is going on at infographics?!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Idk if you can call this butterfly effect, but declining an offer could change history.
San Marino GP, Imola, 1994
It was F1's most dangerous weekend, Barichello almost died on Friday Practice, Saturday Quali killed Roland Ratzenberger, one driver fears for his life at Williams for Sunday, Ayrton Senna, because the race will go on for Sunday, despite the incidents. He called up a doctor who is also friend a night before the race, saying he was afraid, the doctor also knew, race week would be scary for tomorrow. The doctor suggested him to not partake on the San Marino GP, asking Senna to go fishing with him instead, but Senna declined and partakes anyway. The next day, Senna had a massive crash on Tamburello, Imola, which killed him, making it the darkest raceweek in history of F1.
That crash changed things, with Imola renovated with a chicane, HANS being must in F1, and the most shocking of all, destroyed all hopes for Senna going to Ferrari, where Michael Schumacher steps in and getting 5 world titles with them. Imagine had Senna not died, 7 titles could have gone with him instead of Schumi.
Edit: Could have been even 8 titles because Senna won 3 in Mclaren
this is an underrated comment right here
As a Jets fan it pains me to see you had to throw in the Drew Bledsoe hit. Forever haunts us Jets fans.
The jets shoot themselves in the foot lol
I was a Jets fan too, but them putting Michael Vick on is what made me turn against liking the team.
it's just football. Get over it.
@@DDlambchop43 football is very important in the American culture. It makes up a large portion of America’s business income
Lesson of Humanity: Little things make a big difference
Pretty ironic how Constantine had to break the law of God in order to secure the future of christianity, as he ordered the assassination of his brother-in-law and infant nephew, due to them being considered threat to the future of christianity. The docu-series "Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire" made a great job representing Constantine's life
The Christian God was another god that demanded blood sacrifices.(like every other God). So, no different than the gods believed by the Maya or Aztecs and that whole Indiana Jones thing of ripping the still beating heart out of the chest of a volunteer and so many. I guess it was a form of birth control.
0:36 I had looked away for a second, when I looked back I was like "wtf is that?"
I'm sure you're very familiar 😏 lol just kidding
The Mongols did build ships and tried to attack Japan. That might have worked too but there happened to be a typhoon.
Karma
They actually disproved the Titanic theory about the binoculars. The night the Titanic sank was a strange in the fact that the weather was completely calm and it was moonless. Those 2 factors drastically cut the visibility of icebergs. Even if they had the binoculars they most likely would not have been able to see it in time to avoid the accident and still hit the iceberg. The only possible benefit of having the binoculars would have been that the Titanic would have probably experienced less damage when striking the iceberg. She still would have sank due to other factors with the ship's construction, but at a slower rate.
Many of the through way hatch doors were open instead of closed. Closing would have made an water tight compartment. Also windows were open and sea water entered that way Instead of making sure all doors and windows were closed everywhere.
If you could travel back in time, would you change a thing?
of course :)
No
Of course : I would definitely change the day of 8-3-99 @ 9:15pm . It was a real bad car accident . Took the lives of a girlfriend & her brother.
@@danielboone5615 holy…that’s awful. You hit them?
Not being so rough on the Germans :)
I like how the most famous boat sinking was on a ship called the unsinkable
I'd change my whole life.... I wish I didn't believe people were good deep down. I know now, most people are terrible and only care about themselves. Sad but true... God Bless 🙏.
Never vote
No matter how small and insignificant, they still can make a big long lasting impact! 🤞🤞
WW1 : someone killed an austrian
WW2 : someone didn't killed an austrian
I’d argue that WW1 was inevitable. It’s not a pure accident like some of the other instances….trouble was brewing in Europe and it HAD to escalate at some point
I agree Ferdinand would probably still been assasinated
it's not like the high emotions in Europe would have vanished instantly if Ferdinand hadn't been assassinated, another reason would have sparked WW1
I read somewhere that the death of Archduke Ferdinand was used as a "reason" to start the war. As @siddharth khandelwal mentioned, there was quite a bit of disgruntlement between several European countries
I don't understand why so many people separate religion and science. If there is an all powerful God, then they could put a comet or star in the sky at the moment Constantine looked upwards, or made a Big Bang then sat back and watched what happened like a good TV show.
I'd like to see a video about something like that.
RE the titanic key...
the key wasnt missing because some random dude walked away with it, the key was missing because the one they had was indeed for the titanic... but the ship that sailed was the olympic not the titanic... they didnt have the wrong key.. they had right key for the wrong boat. everyone who lived in Southampton (where the ship was made) knows that the boats were switched before the voyage.
The switch theory has been proven wrong in 100 ways
I too agree with this
Great video
Wasn't Flemming's assistant the one to notice the importance of the Penincilin mold...?
Finally makes sense.
Thanks 4 unveiling tha reasoning behind that use of the word Lego(play well)
Yea, a man that was reforming the whole world at the time got tricked by a comet. You do realize it's a known fact that people were more intelligent then than now, right? They just had less to work with, but in the department of astrology, they nailed it.
this always irritates me. In history we generally assume ancient ignorance even though there are hundreds of problems they solved that we can't to this day.
it's so prevalent that it needs it's own fallacy.
i believe god is real but how the f do you even know that is god comunicatting not some comet or meteor he created that had enough luck to form a cross
(edit) and even so it might even be other thing like alien and other scientific explanation but the point is we dont actually know what really cause it but scientist accept its a meteor that seem highly likely but we dont know what god doing when that happen cause god is mysterious
Because I read the bible.
Today military pilots can’t explain certain objects, so how was the comet a trick?
Man - this ship is unsinkable
Poseidon - challenge accepted

Ayy infographic with another banger!!
i love being graphically informed!!
WOW This is the best kind of topic, I wish time travel was real so you could go back and mess with linchpin events in world history and document the actual changes, it'd be like a hobby or something you'd do for a youtube channel 'real alternate histories' or something
And then get a certain Doctor complain how you can't do that.
Being a artist painter is kind of equal to being a comedian (an artist with words). A force to reckon with.
imagine constantine did not just see a cross but an burning plane travelling in time.
The Brady story is so similar to the Steve Young upcoming, when the 49'ers traded Joe Montana

You should have talked about the tuck rule instead of Bledsoe injury. Jon Gurden to get traded to Tampa. Raiders became a dumpster fire.
I don’t think infographic show will respond to this ever. But in 19:09 he said Drew bledsome never won the Super Bowl with patriots he did but not as starter.
He didn't take a ring...
This so cool it's feels inspace with mark
Can you do a video about Outlaws and Belle Starr?
Titanics binoculars wouödn't have changed anything, it was to dark to use them and there vision would have been even more limited
Probably no chicks to view on the decks anyways. (The one reason to have binoculars.)

well this incident didn't made a really huge impact on world history but this incident definitely made cricket popular to a whole new level in my country (india)
a boy from a lower middle class family of india was a goalkeeper in his school football team
the sports teacher was impressed by his goalkeeping skills so asked him to try cricket
that boy went on to become india's most successful captain MS Dhoni (winning every major cricket tournament at least once and an overall winning %age of around 55%)
If Tom Brady qualifies, this probably does.
The lack of binoculars on the Titanic did not cause the sinking. There was no moon, so there was very little light. The process was to watch by sight, and only if something seemed curiours was it checked with glasses. On the night of the sinking, by the time the lookouts saw the berg, they knew what it was, so there was no reason to check with glasses. And it was too late to do anything.
This is a great channel keep up the great work 🙄
Punctuation is a good idea here.
The story of Constantine seeing a comet ☄️ is a blatant extrapolation.
Supposedly Gorbachev visited Texas and witnessed well stocked grocery stores and decided his people needed better than long bread lines
Serious butterfly effect
Why were the binoculars in the Titanic locked in the first place
Bush did it

"H1tler wasn't a great painter."
I highly doubt that to be honest. With respect I think that is art was very good, even better than today art.
Art is subjective, but I think his greatness in his skills is ignored because people see him as an evil tyrant and never give him credit. It's like if you say he was good at something people falsely say you follow his ideas.
@Edward Lee Miller Picasso's paintings look bad too, but people go crazy for them. As I said art is subjective.
But the point of school is to make you better. So he couldve become better if that was his passion. Where is captain hindsight when you need him?
He was classed as barely mediocre. Nothing special. That was the judgement of his work.
Well, you're wrong..The perspective is really bad in his paintings, and his paintings were dull.
He was better than the average person but he wasn't good enough to be a professional.
On Christmas day, in 1776, the Hessians fighting for the British crown in the American Revolution were celebrating Christmas - little realizing that George Washington's troops were preparing an attack. One British sympathizer saw the American troops, however, and sent a message to the Hessians' leader, Colonel Johann Rall. But Rall was at a Christmas party and simply pocketed the message without reading it. The next morning, the American troops made their move and the Hessians were so ill-prepared that they surrendered in less than an hour. Had Colonel Rall taken the time to read the message, it could've drastically changed the outcome of that battle and the war. Not to mention, saved his own life, as he himself was killed in said battle.
From what I heard of this story, the reason Rall didn't read the message was he didn't know how to read English, so he had pocketed it until he could find someone to read it, but got pulled in to drinking and talking with friends and comrades and forgot about it.
Isnt general rommel one of the dudes from the movie Valkyrie?
many of these decisions were unexpected for me
Wouldnt have brought it up but if Joe Rogan gets a mention for.... His small contribution to history.
Tony Iommi should have been brought up. Guy lost his fingertips on his last day of work at a steel mill, thought that was the end of his music career and changed the course of music history/history. Basically creating Heavy metal. That's more than Joe Rogan has done
Tommy Iommi definitely started something amazing. What a happy accident!
19:29 BLEDsoe ..internal BLEEDing.... Talk about a name fitting the event !
I see the Purge similarities from the July 1977 event.
Around this video doesn't sound like a time traveler guide
In the part about the Roman Emperor Constantine and Christianity, the Infographic Show claims Constantine said he saw a cross in the sky (1:03). Except I heard in the historical podcast "Les Pires Moments De L'histoire" (worst moments of history, it's French) that he said he saw a Chrism. Look it up, it's a symbol made from Jesus' initials in ancient greek.
Hey infographics show, could you do another challenge video?
I really enjoy them and I would like to see more.
Thanks!
The death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand had a pretty big effect.
WWI .
The binoculars weren’t gonna make a difference on Titanic. Icebergs don’t come with lights that allow you to spot them on a dark night.
True, the iceberg was also obscured by a cold water mirage.
7:41 Christiansen bought a plastic molding machine in 1974, but died in 1958?
The titanic was literally on fire for a long long time before crashing and that ships sinking was nowhere near the lack of binoculars. That's literally the last thing that caused it to sink...
Can Infographic Show do a piece on Salman Rushdie. Thanks in Advance
I feel like I just saw this on Mr. Ballin. 😆
I love that you mentioned the Ryan/Obama connection, I noticed that years ago but never heard it mentioned before.
I love it how he just disregards the possibility of the man seeing God. Yeah scientists and researchers were right about everything. They have the answers 😂😂😂
That's too true, this is actual physics of spacetime.

“For want of a nail, the shoe was lost;
For want of a shoe, the horse was lost;
For want of a horse, the rider was lost;

For want of the message, the battle was lost;
For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.”

The thing is, is that every decision ever causes huge huge impacts
My question would be on the night of sinking at Sunset: Why didn't Captain Smith or his First Officer ordered their men to find a Locksmith or a Carpenter to force open the cabinet where the Spyglass was stored when they realised that the key was missing?
Because the binoculars wouldn't have helped. You need a wider field of view when looking for an iceberg. The iceberg was obstructed by a cold water mirage. Even if you pointed binoculars directly at the iceberg you wouldn't have seen it until you were on top of it. The visibility looked deceptively clear because of the false horizon created by the cold water mirage.
You had me up until Legends of music like Will Smith....
Don’t deter God he gave a sign on purpose
Was just listening without watching and then turned at 0:36...took a second to figure out what I was seeing
Interesting how every illustration of a person has the same "smiley face" disposition...doesn't quite work when talking about many of these people...
Honestly I think the whole Constantine story shows how real God is. We don’t know the details very well. But if a man who had all the power in the world who was against an entire religion and was the legacy of people who praised these Roman gods, can change his mind based on something he saw in the sky, it seems pretty obvious that a higher power is intervening and working through certain people for a reason.
Not gonna lie the "legends of music including Will Smith" statement made me laugh out loud 😭😭😭😭
