Hey, Vsauce, Michael here. Most people are right-handed, but we're running out of helium. Thanks for watching.
yup. that it the best vsause summery I have ever heard.
HeHeHe
XD
You know, I would like to devise a "Guess the Vsauce Episode" game, where you're given a synopsis of the video, but you have to guess which episode it is based on.
I'm the 666 like ._.
1- buy helium
2- wait 30 years
3- profit
wow
Alright!
after 30 years, the government busts in your house and takes all your helium :/
_the year is 2046. helium is a scarce resource, only owned by people who planned ahead, or ones who took it by force. people long for a balloon that floats, or squeaky high-pitched voices, but that was the past. this is now._
Yumiko the Random scarce
Good question Michael, but there is an even better one: *Which left?*
But where is...
Left?
If we don't know what left is, we can't answer your question. So Michael's question is more profound.
The other left
Quackity has entered the chat
This might make me sound pretentious but can it be my left. I makes more sense to me.
Me before watching this video: I’m a lefty this should be cool
Me after: *desperately trying to stop helium leaving the earth*
How? 😁
@@aliveslice Lmao I felt the same dread at the end.
ALL the helium is gonna leave Earth, and there's NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT! Feel small yet?
@@Georgio28 no.
what if i create more radiation?
@@QDetective bombard non radioactive elements with neutrons to make them radioactive
Beginning of video : Being left handed allows for special neural connections.
End of video : In 40 years we will run out of helium.
No worries running out of Helium. Then we can tap all of the air headed righties for the inert gasses in their brains.
Every video ever.
Still some good facts, I guess?
and then there will be no helium LEFT
Scratpunk You're RIGHT
Triandot it's 2050 I'm the only on LEFT
I like how he goes from a space bar to a guy in space. Typical Vsauce
Spacebar>Space>Cosmonaute>Helium>Left.

you know what's great for being a left-handed? in physics exams I can use my right hand to gesture the Ampere's right hand rule and use my left hand to write the answer in the same time while my classmates have to put down their pens, do the gestures, and pick up their pens to write their answer. yayyyy
You can do the right hand rule with the left hand.
I use the pen method where you detach the tip of your pen cover and draw a face on it even though I am left handed
I do like how the first word in the description is 'links'...
'Left' in German.
I wonder why very few people noticed it
Omigator Studio because not everyone is german
Same for dutch
@@germangamer7377 Was definitly worth it. Also, i'm dutch. :)
@@germangamer7377 ?
We're talking about left, right ? :D
HAHAHAHA!!!!! Took me like 10 seconds to get that!!!!
antonio cabrera Thank you, my first play on worlds in English ^^" (yeah I'm french ^^" )
Lol
MK73DS lawl
Lol
"What's left?"
Me: well, after the car accident, not much
oof.
That's right
Just grow a new one
Back in my days kids...
We used to have helium
"Oh look, a spacebar!"
"When people go to space, they have LEFT Earth"
what
Thats called MUTHAFUCKIN BARS NIKKA! YOU KNOW NOTHIN ABOUT THAT!
-Sway
kai THATS STRAIGHT UP FIRE BROO
its because most people touch spacebar key with left hand
I got to that part and just completely forgot what this video was about to begin with. This whole channel is the educational equivalent of family Guy cutaways
@@xzwingnutzx2221 that is a perfect explanation for this channel
I should probably buy helium right now and sell it in like 20 years
thats actualy a fantastic idea . Lets get rich in 20 years
hey good idea, im going to look into it
if you can hold it for about 50 yrs gasoline will be worth a lot more than helium
***** Hey...... Great idea!
Alexandre Boucher better make it crude oil. i just remembered gasoline goes bad after a while. my cousin tried starting his truck with 6 year old gas in it and it fucked it up
just don't tell anyone you are stashing.
How a Vsauce video happens:
Start: Hey Vsauce, Micheal here.
Video: About youtube
2 mins in: I like watching youtube
6 mins in: The Sun is big
15 mins in: Circles are round
21 mins in: I forgot to eat my breakfast
you forgot the part where he mentions the inevitable heat death of the universe
I forgot to feed the cat
Free acid
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
3:24
That transition was smooth
@1:35 Michael demonstrates what he does to your brain every video
Yeah, I hate when I have to use my corpus callosum.
He's not just blowing your mind; he's splitting it wide open!
If he rips my head in half and kills me, then how am I leaving this comment?
Yes.
ZinthYneX XeYanZos you must be fun at parties
"Oh look! A spacebar! People go to space!" -- That make me laugh every time xP
ikr haahaha
It sounds like such a conspiracy theory LOL
when people go to space* , kill me please
Sorry, I finally understood that correction you "left". That's of course absolutely "right".
Or Is it
my favourite part of this video is the segue from “space bar” to “space” at 3:25
Beginning of video: This video makes me feel special as a fellow leftie.
End of video: wut
The puns in this video are just... Wow
"Hey look, a SPACE bar... who wants to talk about SPACE for a little bit? Eh?"
The puns are just right!
Kaixo Music they left you speechless, right?
Wow! ;)
they left me speechleft
"Oh look a space bar"
For some reason I ALMOST DIED laughing at that
+Ricky D youre not RIGHT, you have almost LEFT living
I only found this channel a month ago and I binged pretty much every video, I now know more than I learned in school for the past 10 years 😳
I thought this would be some existential video about how a bunch of stuff is gone
I used to work in fast-food. We had a right-handed fry scoop that I struggled with, being a leftie. I found a left-handed scoop hidden in the stock room, so I started switching the right-handed scoop with the left-handed one so they could feel my pain =P People hated it! No one caught me for the longest time, until one day my boss saw me, pulled me aside, and said HE was a leftie too. We both started hiding the right-handed scoop till another manager bought one with a handle on both sides XD
thats why im not against outright destroying left handed ppl💀 yall are just mad and trying to prove to everyone that you are "special"
@@croissantdeprived.989wtf
@@croissantdeprived.989they usually grow using such hand, don't force them to use the right hand when most of their brain developed around using the left hand.
☠️☠️ that's a good story man, but just imagine your the only leftie ☠️✨✨✨
Pacific protest
I love how you beat around the bush while talking about something just to teach us some other, not totally related but really interesting, facts, +1 to that
So true lol I end up learning about something else but I can't be mad because I technically learned something interesting
I started off getting everything like yeah I'm ambidextrous and then... well shit
In tedx video he told that he does it to attract more attention as everyone have different interest so it might happen that any of those may get attract to some other information other than that of the topic
It's 100% related. Just read the title with a different point of view :)
yep , I got you,
BTW I am left handed
I like how he handle stuffs and changes topic so smoothly that we dont even realize
vsauce: what is left
me an intellectual: opposite of right
Philosophical sentence:
- "When nothing goes right, go left"
+Catota So basically "If you fail, just give up and start doing something else". Yes very inspiring...
yypish no, "If you fail, try to do it in other way"...
Oh hell no
When nothing goes right, it's time to transcend
Sauce: lefties are smart
Also v scause: *and this is why companies should stop making baloons*
Are you lefty
And schizophrenic
sauce v scause 4 just cause 3 just uase 2 cause 1 is two dvided by two is one times two times one us ttw
*SCAUSE*
v scause
I love watching these old videos, this information is not up to date,we know better now
Btw Just a Quick note (9yrs later i know). Ambidexious Comes from the Greek Word "αμφιδέξιος". I really learn a lot from you guys, Vsause is Just epic. Thank you for All the knowledge you give!!!
I finally figured out what’s wrong with my brain on the left side there’s nothing right and on the right side there’s nothing left
cute bbs mmmm clever
Wow same here
Nice facebook meme
Nice i like it
I don't know much... but I think what's left is not right.
Okay Not Stanley
Chunky Gorrila rly?
pls...Stop messing with my mind...
Literally
You’re “right”
Pun
His videos are perfect for a person with ADD like me, always keeps me wondering tf is gonna come next.
The title is so clever! It can be read as both "what is left" and "what has left" and that's what he does in the video, starts with what is left and ends with what has left and will leave!
4:42
Hey! Where's my “and, as always...”?!
It left
yes so this joke could be made
As a lefty my grandmother forced me to use the right hand for writting when i was 9 years old. Today i can't write well with my left hand
Wilker Santana Short sad story :(
That sucks. A lot. Lefties are so much better qq
Lol, if as a righty you train yourself to write with left hand you can improve your iq
i’m also originally a leftie but my parents forced me to write with my right hand, now i use my right hand to write but do all the other stuff with my left
vizthex they're not they are more likely to be dumber and have mental diseases
And as always....
Very interesting!
I like how Vsause videos are easy to follow, but when you get to the end, you’re like, “How did we go from talking about left-handedness to a helium crisis?”.
Made me feel good to be left-handed :)
ok
@@kentuckynotsofriedchicken2754 bro really just replied to a 8 yo comment with "ok"
@@AntiRiku yes
Same ^^
@@AntiRiku ok
Well, there are more letters on the left side in general. The right side does all the punctuation and shit.
+Eric Bishton The right side is the side the mouse is usually on. So of course most of the letters are on the left side.
***** - Yeah except the keyboard layout we used came from before mice were a thing and that has nothing to do with it?
+Eric Bishton WOOOOO TDFW! deal with it dakota!
+Eric Bishton Note the the keyboard layout is made to ** slow you down ** so that you did not jam up the ancient mechanical typewriter...
com nut - No, the keyboard layout was made to keep commonly used letters from being too close together and jamming.
Fact is, even with things like DVORAK, it really doesn't make a difference. The difference in typing speed between qwerty and dvorak is negligible at best and nonexistent otherwise.
Thank you for saving me from myself once again Michael.. thank you.
I remember when I was really small, I used to be really good with using both of my hands in writing and holding stuff, but eventually I slowly started using my right hand more, and now I am quite fully right handed
3:19 This is why Vsauce is Vsauce, like wtf was that transition
1:01 "good with using both hands"
i gotchu
Ok
what
Pratheek Bhat no
what
This video left me amazed
Usually left is defined as moving -90 degrees from your current position, sometimes included with some sort of movement or direction in that way. Left however is usually based off of a gravitational force and is harder to analyse in a no-gravity environment.
I'm ambidextrous. Great, now I have to worry about another mentail illness. Thanks, Obama.
Moishe Gersherkuntzmanleibermanwitzstein Very clever. Super smart. I would have never thought of that one. Much creative. I swear to God.
Leah Velásquez Not an argument. Lol.
Wait what? same here D:
sucks to be us :/ stupid right-hand biased >:{
I'm lefty, and I am quite psychotic. I wonder if I'm right brained or bilateral brained...
Cavey Möth your schizophrenic
M: oh look a spacebar. When a person goes to space he had LEFT earth
Me: Here we go again
Wait, but he never answered the question, “what’s left”
What a legendary video
Helium made the right decision when it left.
you're right
kk papi
Your*
*write
Do you are have stupid
3:23 beautiful transition
You know what's worse when you are born left handed but your parents and teachers taught you righting with right hands and that sucks
I feel like people whom consider themselves left handed are more ambidextrous than people whom consider themselves as right handed because there are so much things that are meant for right handed people so left handed people get used to doing thing with their right hand
Yeah i realized that too. I'm a leftie, but besides writing, i do everything with my right hand. I started writing with my right hand about 2-3 months ago, and now i can write with both of my hands.
Bro I’m a full on lefty. If there’s something that I have to use my right hand for I just stop trying so I don’t look like a two year old
That's not true at all lol there is not just one thing that is meant for right handed people.
@@gsc2835 There's lots. Scissors, can openers, all sorts of small tools like those.
@@silvasilvasilva can openers and scissors are definitely interchangeable what are you talking about lol all you gotta do is flip them haha
Missed the "and as always".
This video was before he started saying that part.
*me sitting in class minding my own business*
my classmates: wOaH YoUrE lEfT haNdED?!
Great play on the word!
5 000 years from now, humans will look back on Vsauce videos as the greatest accomplishment of our (their ancestor's) times.
Vsause will stick around as long as possible!!!!! He might make like hundreds of videos before he dies, then pass his CZcams channel down to someone!!!!!! Kinda like when 2pac made tons of songs before he died!
I just write with my left and do almost everything with my right.. Like kicking a ball,stabbing someone and pulling dead bodies etc..
Really? I find it's easier to pull a body with both hands (grab a foot per hand), and if you have 2 knifes you can feint with your non-dominant left hand and attack with your dominant right hand (assuming that's how you are). xDDDDDDDD
omg dead
You kick balls with your hands...And stab and pull objects with your feet?
Ash Arsh
normal stuff
But do you eat the bodies with your right mouth or left mouth? Asking for a friend.
hearing, "10% of the world population are lefties," makes me feel like a shiny pokemon
We are shinies!
1:34 sent chills down my spine. Also why does 1:44 look like a tall version of beetle juice?
The biggest reason lefties are generally better at using their non-dominant hand seems to simply be living in a world designed the wrong way round. We get more practise in-just try using a can opener left-handed. This is pretty obvious. But the other part is that whenever I see something demonstrated by a right-handed person, it seems like my brain decides what way feels natural before I've even started, even if it's not the most effective way for me! It's actually pretty fascinating.

Restringing guitars each time you want to play one. :p
Yep, fully agree, this has a lot to do with it. Shame he didn't go into the conscious or subconscious stigmatisation that left-handed people suffer simply from the hand they use to do things.
That's true, I'm left handed but I'm now used to playing video games in a right handed way, and I play the guitar right handed.
I can agree on this, i use a computer mouse with my right hand even thought i'm left handed, why?
Because everyone else does it.
JustRickolo Because laptops only had USB ports on one side in 2003.
woodfur00 when i first used a PC the mouse was on the right side so that's pretty much what happened.
Albert Einstein was actually right handed. There are a lot of pictures of him at his desk or writing equations with his right hand consistently.
A VSSUCE VIDEO I NEVER WATCHED? SACRELIGIOUS!
The title alone is so intriguing that i have to watch it for the tenth time
Instead of using helium, use hydrogen gas.
Macy's day parade *
BOOM
so most people think with their "sinister" sides while doing "right"
and few people think what's "right" while doing "sinister" ...?
horsetracks are only run counter clockwise in the U.S. and its so the finish comes from a left to right motion. Also ambidextrous only means people who can do the same task
with equal precision and often strength with both hands. MULTIdextrous (more common) is a condition where the person uses each hand for specific tasks, with respective precision...
Getting in the daily dose of useful information
I love how you link stuff altogether up to the end (not semantically, true), even things that don't seem to have any common points, while still pointing out very interesting trivia ! Shoutout to the daily amazement Vsauce brings into my life and, I bet, many others !
Now I'm proud to be a lefty.
No dude...just no

Well done, mate. Cheers!...☀
Crazy how old these videos are
what if Michael's second name is Vsauce? "Hey, Vsauce Michael here!" :V
може
@@JusticeForTheWin i agree
Is michaels second name Vsauce? Well first, what really counts as a name?..............
We're gonna need to learn about carbon dioxide
I don't know how it really works, but people say i'm ambidextruos when in fact i prefer using one hand rather than the other in certain in situations... As an example, i like to write with my right hand and to eat with my left hand
I think that qualifies you as ambidextrous, even if you don't use both hands the same way.
woodfur00 thanks
It's called cross dominant which is different than being ambidextrous.
Gar356
im cross dominant then, thanks
JacobFIFA
but i can write with both hands, when i was young i just wrote backwards with my left hand, so they told me to not do it, now i can use both, one is just more convenient
I love this channel because how tf did we even get to that ending
These transitions are so goddamn smooth
I wanted to put a pun in the comment section but there was nothing left for me, I just couldn't come up with the right one.
it's funny that bush was right handed :P
also, in the description.
LINKS
links means left in dutch :)
I was thinking the same thing about LINKS
Also in german
_ca.lm.bcuzican_ by dutch he probably means germany
Martin Machala Nope, it's Dutch as well.
SporadicDuck oh sorry I am not from English speaking country :D I didnt know that was different country
you know it's about to get existential crisis-y when 145 by Jake chudnow starts playing
Best transition ever
3:10 great transition there
I can not refrain from saying "You left me chuckling to myself" really love your humor!!! And all of your videos!
Quarantine has made me to rediscover a lot of Vsauce videos.
I would love to learn how to switch between topics smoothly from him
No helium left?

To hell with the environment. BURN EVERYTHING WITH FUSION!
Trevor Castle Babysitting and the kids are annoying? Burn them and then turn around and sell their corpses to their parents.
:D
Talking about the left and right hemisphere of the brain, then we're talking about Helium. Vsauce in a nutshell-kurzgesagt.
1:45 I hate to break it to you, but ears don't cross hemispheres. I mean, the right side of the brain is connected to the right ear and vice versa
What about wiggling your ears
The structure of this video is perfect. Old vsauce videos really hit the spot.
These videos always get me thinking....
id give my right arm to be ambidextrous
lol good luck with that :D
That basically defeats the purpose of being ambidextrous, since you only have one arm, therefore one hand.
i know thats the joke
***** bigot
? how ?
this was posted exactly 10 years ago.. wow michael hasn't changed at all
I was ambidextrous when i was 5 or 6 and got told at school i had to choose a hand to write with. I chose my left hand because I wanted to be different. Little did I know scissors would do me over later on in life.
Who else has noticed that Vsauce has lost weight?
literally everyone? also thats not his name
@@chrisl9469 fuk off
He has LEFT weight
You know, I’ve been thinking...
If someone says “I’m always wrong...”
Are they right?
No, they are left
That sentence can't be true, because if it was, then it should be wrong. If the sentence is wrong, no contradictions arise (unless that's the only thing they say)
Derp Chicken you say “yes im wrong” and then that means that they where wrong, there for your not always wrong.
This is hurting my head.
Don't believe me, I am a true liar.
ottoman sultan Thanks for the advic- wait a minute...
I always have more questions after the videos
3:56 Not anymore!
