I respect the urgency of Tom stopping everything and hushedly going “cat! Cat! There’s a cat!”
"Tom is timeless"- I really don't know if he's 19 or 40.
Both
And neither
I’m guessing about 28
probably keeps visiting these radioactive places to top up occasionally
I’d say about 4.5 billion.

Isn't it blyad?
@@kennethtimorang8343 The English spelling of "бЛЯТЬ" varies depending on whether it's a direct translation or an interpretation.
Directly translated to English spells it as "BLYAT". However interpreting it, so that it sounds closer to the Russian pronunciation, will make it "BLYAD".

Thx
I really want to imagine Tom and Paul following the cat around for at least 10 minutes getting B-roll and watching the adventures of Chernobyl Cat.
Ok, Pripyat having better internet than I do is just depressing.
Holstered Cactus I had better internet at home than that ten years ago. I've had better internet in rural Brazil. Where do you live?
Holstered Cactus Egyptian here, I have 2 Mbps down and 0.5 Mbps up (with practically no quota), and I pay about 230 EGP (30 USD) per month for that. Yeah, depressing :S
RogerWilco I'm one of the unlucky bastards living in Australia that doesn't have the NBN. 6Mbps down, 0.14Mbps up, absolutely piss all quota and I'm paying $130 a month for it and a phone line.
Holstered Cactus Pripyat has no internet at all. The hotel is in Chernobyl.
John Moore I know the feel, bro. When I lived in Australia, I was paying like $85 a month for ADSL2 with unlimited data. Then I moved to Japan where for the same price I get gigabit fiber. And it comes with unlimited data as standard.
It's true then. Chernobyl cats have four legs. How odd.
+thany3 I heard they purr too. Can you imagine that!?
+カラス Their very own Geiger counters. How convenient.
Actually it's even... I mean the amount of legs
And eight lives
KaneDragon i wouldn't be surprised about them having a gieger counter
I LOVE the "cat - CAT! Cat cat - genuine Chernobyl cat!" moment in the end! And the little squeak. That was adorable.
PaxPirate no. you are adorable ;)
When the internet speeds in Chernobyl are better than yours.... =[

To people thinking the cat sounds weird:
cats, individually, sound different, they have their own voice like humans,
and cats from differents part of the world sound different too, they have accents.
Some believe that cats in the wild don't mew and they only mew to try to imitate and communicate with their caretaker (dog, ape, or human).
+Erelde I agree. I have five cats and despite them all being related (one mother, four daughters) each one has her own unique voice. I can tell who wants into my room by the sound of the meowing at the door.
cats have caretakers who are dogs???
sooo....the cat meows in ukraniain? :D
@@dugroz furries
or Chernobyl werewolfs, that too
no cats in the wild only meow to there kittens, however they realise that meow help create a bond so they meow at people too so they get fed.
I want to know more about that cat.
It had 6 legs.
I want to know about the cat from half-life 2.
I wanted to find it's mutation. haha

2 beers for £1?! Be right back just booking a flight
***** Same in Romania, the problem is that the shrinkage is applied to salaries as well, with the minimum wage being around 130 pounds PCM. That's right, 130 pounds PER MONTH. So for them it's like a beer being 10 pounds here in the UK. Not that funny now, is it?

Don't go there for the beer unless your only goal is to get very drunk, because it tasted like crap when I was there. I have no idea why he said that he enjoyed the beer, he must have misspoken.
Tom used to be just an above average youtuber, until a weird accident gave him the ability to travel through time and space!
Now he is "TIMELESS TOM"!
This hits differently now

*Can you break in?*
*Technically yes*
I mean, if a "special military operation" were to take place and they were to march down and just take control, that's technically a yes right?

"We have too much b-roll of an exotic place you'll probably never see with your own eyes"
*cuts to talking head*
The shot from the top of the building where you can see the reactor and the new safe confinement was amazing. It really gives you an idea of how huge the thing is.

Tom has a knack for going places as long as it's still possible.
Chernobyl, Arecibo, Gävle goat, ...
The goat is rebuilt each year though
Well, now it’s really hard to visit there, cause it’s literally a war zone.
My PC: Totally overkill, able to run literally anything.
My internet connection: literally slower than Chernobyl.
Well, a typical low-end ISP regional uplink is naturally going to seem quite sprightly when it's only being shared between a couple hundred people tops, rather than many thousands... There's probably barely even a full gigabit down / 200 meg up for the entire zone, and I used to work somewhere that had 1gbit both ways into the server room from the local fibre broadband provider...

2 beers for £1, this is how they should sell 'holidays' to Pripyat to the British.
In Russia particular and most post USSR countries prices are really low, but you need to divide your salary on 3 at least. Here in UK minimal salary per month is about 60 000 rubbles and in Russia is about 17 000 rubbles per month... and yes I'm Russian living in UK
Oh man, I'd love to either move or just live there for a bit.
Ghost 115 Hear ya, man.
The population of Essex and East London would plummet as they'd all move to Ukraine.
Tell the chavs to put the firefighters suits on in the basement of Pripyat hospital
Have always wanted to visit Chernobyl. Did a project on it when I was at school; have always been fascinated. Sadly, watching this in March 2022, it doesn't seem likely that I'll visit any time soon. Thoughts are with Ukraine.
I hope you will be able to visit it someday and see few more things there :)
Thanks, friend!❤ Ironically, despite being from Kyiv and traveling around Ukraine quite a lot, I haven’t visited either- here’s hoping both you and I can visit as soon as possible!
It’s really amazing how much wild life there is in Chernobyl. I saw a documentary where they mentioned there’s a herd of very rare wild horses there and that it’s one of the only places you’ll actually see them in the wild. It’s basically becoming a home for wild life, some will live some will die but for many, it’s a safe haven compared to the rest of the world.
6:10 And then Shiey came along.
what i was thinking exactly.
watch kreosan on youtube, you will be amazed
That cat is adorable. Thank you soo much for getting a shot of it.
the elusive Chernobyl cat
What a friendly cat.
Probably just learned that being nice to tourists = free food
You had me at two pints for a pound.
Shiey and Anton left the chat
5:24 ...
Came to the comment section immediately 🤣 I was like " surely someone else knows about Shiey"
I’m so glad we got a Genuine Chernobyl cat.
The most radioactive meow I ever heard.
Like old squeaky toy

I'm sure nothing ominous will happen here... Again.
Well I guess it's more difficult to get there now

Thumbs up for genuine Chernobyl cat!
I would've found it really hard not to steal that cat
I expected the cat to sprout a second head and start spitting venom.
I'm sure you know, but that's not how nuclear radiation works. Or evolution. If the area was THAT unsafe, there'd be no birds for wild cats to feed upon.
I think the deathly wheeze it emitted is worse.
it did sound like some sort of muted mythical creature
Edward Nigma seriously. I was all like "Kitty! So cute!" And then it meowed and I was like "OH GOD NO"

“No you can’t break in”
Laughs in shiey exclusion zone videos

2:48 “Tom is timeless”
...
Timeless Tom Scott
Thanks for the video Tom, very eye opening, the experience of coming across a stray cat truly is unforgettable.
I would have loved to visit. Such a shame about the current situation.
Great video
And a lovely cat :-D
Tom clearly didn't know about stalkers at the time of this video.
You'd think he'd at least notice the anomialies, but apparently not. Lucky he didn't walk into one.
Not that easy anymore
"... now it's a ghost-town."
its going to be amazing for people in a few hundred years seeing whats left of the buildings like an outright glimpse back into how people of our era used to live
It's one amazing thing to come out of the Internet to say the least.
Most of the structures would then fall apart. I'm guessing these are not built to last through a millennium.
Well, they'll probably just be able to do that with whatever regular buildings still survive elsewhere in the world.
As for Pripyat, it's been barely 30 years and it already looks like something out of an apocalyptic horror film, there's not that much trace of how the people of the Soviet Union "used to live" there just one generation ago. It's just empty, crumbling shells (ah yes, that famously high quality soviet reinforced concrete - I'm amazed Tom had the balls to go to the top of that building, it'll probably have collapsed in a few more years' time), and whatever junk wasn't worth the effort of salvaging. There's less anthopological knowledge there that in a typical archaeological dig.

That's boss battle material right there.

Chernobyl Cat sounds like a band, or possibly a soul singer.
But fascinating as always, Tom!

Alt Title: *Tom and Paul describe their eerie experience in Chernobyl for 9 minutes only for it to be taken over by a 20 sec footage of a cat*
I know i'm 6 years late but listening to you talk about people breaking in and how hard it can be and all I think of is the 2 videos of Shiey and his companions treading through the zone forest and over the river and hiding from the security.
Innit
Its surreal to have seen all the footage of Pripyat and the exclusion zone as a whole and then go play a game like Chernobylite, where they've taken such effort to recreate the villages and all the buildings in the city
