@@funybirbman3813 this is true, there is a very unlikely chance of any celestial bodies colliding due to the sheer amount of space between any 2 bodies in either galaxy
@@vincentvega9863 For one example: Say you knew an object was going to pass through the solar system within the orbit of earth, but you have no idea where. Te chance of it colliding with the sun itself is only 1 in 46400. Unless its size is significant compared to the sun in which case it starts to go up. But that is only an orbital radius of 1AU, stars in galaxies tend to be hundreds of thousands of AU apart, and the probabilities go down with the square of distance, so the chance of any two objects of roughly half the size of the sun in colliding galaxies hitting each other (per pass) is on the order of 1 in 46400*100000^2 =~ 1 in 500 trillion (I'd say give or take a couple orders of magnitude just because I'm not confident I've done this calculation rigorously, and gravity will affect the probabilities, I'm just trying to give some idea of the situation). Given there are only a few billion objects in galaxies, the chance of any collisions at all is very low, the exceptions being near the center of the galaxies where objects tend to be more densely packed.

that's actually true. he takes more pixels on the screen therefore you have to use more memory to store the pixel data... when compressed... one picture without him will be less memory than the one with him.
She was asking as a joke but it’s actually a good question. Its said that when jesus was born there were men that came from far lands with 3 gifts. The bible doesn’t say how many men there were, only that there were 3 gifts. people have just been assuming now that there were 3 men who each brought a gift, but that could be false
I’m sure it’s not accurate though. I’ve seen kids with progeria who were probably 8 or 9 but looked 80 or 90. Not sure they all make it to 15. And they’d literally be dying of “old age.” Edit: The Wikipedia article is a mess. I have no clear idea how old they typically live. One part said typically mid teens to early twenties. Another said average at around 15. And another part said few exceed 13. Though apparently a few women have given birth. Too many questions about that.

There's Poe's law which I find encapsulates it perfectly: Originally relating to religious fundamentalism: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article." Nowadays, exchange "Creationist" for your fringe group of choice.
This woman is is absolutely fantastic, in a time that comedy is dieing because everybody takes things so personally I commend her for being so "out there" with her approach. Absolutely genius
in which video she asks a woman someone like "can you say that.." i don't remember what 😭 , then after she answered the question, philomena says that it wasn't a question, and then she actually repeat what she was supposed to say ?? i don't know if i'm easy to understand, i just want to find back this part but I can't remember it well

I don't think people appreciate how much of a badass alpha male you have to be to say with so much confidence and passion..."I love ABBA!"
cringe straight male
lol, a chad for sure
True fact: during the Gulf War, Colin Powell nearly continuously played ABBA to keep him focused.
They were his favorite band; in some cases he actually sang their songs to people. I'm serious, this can be Googled at will.
@@IAm18PercentCarbonABBA as the soundtrack to the gulf war gives dystopian vibes lol, i've also heard stories of beach boys cd's being in every truck for some reason
im not sure how to explain to anybody that when something traumatic happens to me, any video of this woman is enough to return me to a functional state
Surely it wasnt that traumatic then
She's literally bringing me out of a panic attack as I type this
Cunk is really that powerful
Here I'll help, here's a thumbs down
Yeah, this is what I watch to cheer myself up when it's like 3 am and I just spent 30 min researching ways to kill myself, and another 30 min crying. Usually works though.
LMAO I love her so much and her shenanigans are brilliant.
She’s like a British Eric Andre, with a more dry absurdist sarcasm as opposed to Eric’s insane over the top chaos
My thoughts exactly
I feel like if they met the world would cease to exist
Plus, she's funny
funnier too
And she’s actually funny
I get the feeling that Philomena gets a reputation for her *incredible* interviewing skills, so by the end of the series the people she interviews are literally like "oh god what is she about to ask"
But they own it.
You do realise that it is all scripted right.
@@terrystevens5261 Apparently it's not. The experts know they are being interviewed for a comedy show but they are just told to react as best they can and try to keep a straight face. They don't know what they are going to be asked. It wouldn't work so well otherwise.
OMG Where has this woman been all my life? She is absolutely hilarious.
5:10 is quite possibly the most abstractly concrete question I’ve ever heard.
her reaction to the nuclear weapons is still about the most genuine and perfect response one could possibly have though
I dare anyone to listen to this in a funeral via headphones.
I watched it twice cause I couldn't believe it. "today Britain stands at a fork in its Crossroads". I missed that the first time. A knee slapper!
Credit to satirists. They have a tough job these days: it keeps getting much harder for them to successfully distinguish themselves from the dim-witted, the liars, and the ignorant.
Amen.
Yep
Painfully Sad and true in a world where South Park is heralded as a holy grail of satire and political commentary 😂
@@unknown6390 South Park usually has something to say, don’t knock it because something else is good too
Totally true, well said. There's Poe's law which I find encapsulates it perfectly: Originally relating to religious fundamentalism: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article." Nowadays, exchange "Creationist" for your fringe group of choice.
"Who are you" lol. Opening line to interview someone is pure comedic gold. Lol 😂
The "who are u, aren't they, doesn't it, couldn't they, kay" kills me every time 🤣.
She has the spirit of classic Stephen Colbert but with classic deadpan British delivery. She's amazing
Not at all she's actually funny
@@genghiskhanxxx5276 ok edgelord
Please don’t compare her to Colbert! Cunk is a genius.
@@genghiskhanxxx5276 True
@@michaelkeller5927 "I don't think this person is funny" - the edgiest opinion
"So he takes more room in the memory". This is amazing. 😂
"Santa is the most popular home intruder..." Lmao
the bread sauce moment that guy did not know how to respond without laughing he knew she was right hahaha
This woman is is absolutely fantastic, in a time that comedy is dieing because everybody takes things so personally I commend her for being so "out there" with her approach. Absolutely genius
I loved the way this lady dealt with the pandemic.
Those "mogs" at 4:19 brought back some memories. Haven't seen mugs like that for a while now.
Philomena Cunk would be an absolute icon on Top Gear
2:45 this is the stupidest thing I've seen in a hot minute
Philomena is truly an inspiration
I LOVE seeing the reactions of the interviewees. Lol
🤣🤣🤣
The "NOOO"
4:40 she was real for that. Telling an honest truth
Funny as this is that cry at 1:45 is a genuine human moment.
"Edward died age 15, the youngest anyone had ever died of old age." HAD ME SCREAMING
how neither of them laughed at “can you imagine being sucked off through a hole?” “*contemplative silence* …yeah” is beyond me, incredible
That sigh at 0:39 is incredible.
I didn’t expect so many people to watch this one. Thank you for that! Looks like I’ll have to make another. Stay tuned!
Philomena's humor is pure gold, and brings an easy smile, in a world that has a lot to frown about, at the moment. Thanks for assembling this!
She s an icon.!!!!
in which video she asks a woman someone like "can you say that.." i don't remember what 😭 , then after she answered the question, philomena says that it wasn't a question, and then she actually repeat what she was supposed to say ??
i don't know if i'm easy to understand, i just want to find back this part but I can't remember it well
@@lilofication I’ll have to see if I can find that clip
The Abba bomb exploded in 1974 and we have been living with the fall out ever since, and the world is a happier place for it.
This kind of witty, dry humor is what i live for. The irony of high-power Christmas lights distracting from the entropy of natural resources had me HOWLING.
"Can you imagine how it feels like to be sucked off through a hole?"
Brian sighed in defeat, "Yeah..."
I know that feeling Brian. The only way to feel it now is to imagine it.... 😆
I absolutely need a full documentary with her as the narrator and host
Watch her show Cunk on Earth
Cunk on Earth it is called and it‘s on Netflix
That's what she does. Each of the clips in the video is from a full-length documentary.
6:00 Drake was first to circumcise the world which is why this ship is called the clipper......priceless
Read a book yesterday. Main character was named Philomena McCarthy. Couldn't help but imagine this woman for the entirety of the book, which was weird because it was quite serious
Well, Miss Cunk is also serious, although on a more sarcastic note. It's like she is putting herself forth as ignorant, but it's just for the hell of it.
from 3:33 this is just hilarious! 😂the guy really trying to keep it together while answering "yeah..."
'The guy' is Brian Cox (haha, funny) - look him up, he's a very big name here in the UK.
@@inkyscrolls5193cox can imagine being sucked off through a hole
From this guy Jeremy, thank you for making these.
Hahaha...her crying over nuclear warheads...this woman is a genius
the sheer emotion and passion behind that phrase "i love abba"
