Austin McConnell inspired me to create something useless. This is that video. A solid 15 minutes of useless science facts with a bunch of CZcams faces you might recognise including Mark Rober, Tom Scott, Joe Hanson from It's Okay To Be Smart, Tierzoo and a bucket load more! So sit back with a cuppa or a brewskii and waste 15 minutes of your life...and maybe you'll learn something kinda maybe sort of interesting!

What was your favourite fact? Let me know 👇👇👇
That you still exist and seem to be doing well
Tom Scott's hehehe
I had 2 that blew my mind. The fact that there is so little gold in the world (duh, that's why it's so expensive, but it's hard to visualize it) and that Siberian tigers are HUUUUUUGE.
all the planets between earth and moon what !!
I don't know, but I feel like there's a whole subset of people on the Internet who've been just waiting breathlessly for 2:22 🤣
My personal favourite: We're either alone on the universe, or we're not. Both are equally amazing and terrifying
How is being alone terrifying? We would be safe from the Great Filter. (Look up the Fermi Paradox if you don't know what I'm talking about)
@@gsausse8_019 I mean you got a point. But also if we fuck up now, there would be no intelligent life at all left in the universe to rely on and the universe would be all empty. The purpose of anything existing would disappear. The universe would forever be dead and that is terrifying.
Damn.

My own: NASA has launched two satellites that are exactly opposite sides of the Earth, and they use them to measure distance and gravitational anomalies. Because it appears the satellites are "chasing" each other, they have nicknamed them "Tom" and "Jerry".
I love this

One of my favorite pieces of trivia: The first manmade object to break the sound barrier was the tip of a whip.
Racist dog whistle

@@TheBluePhoenix008 To quote Scientific American:
"The crack of a whip comes from a loop traveling along the whip, gaining speed until it reaches the speed of sound and creates a sonic boom," Goriely says. He notes that even though some parts of the whip travel at greater speeds, "it is the loop itself that generates the sonic boom."

probably cause it was so much information all at once
Do you smoke weed
Platypuses produce both milk and eggs, making them a portable source of omeletes
They can also make their own custard....
They also produce venom which makes them good for assassinating people who love omelettes

My favourite is the “if you have two legs you already have more legs than the average human” Im a double amputee and I say this to folks all the time. It’s so funny to see their faces trying to work it out 😂
Yes, cuz math. Guessing on the numbers, but about 99% have 2 legs, and 1% have less than 2 legs, so on average....
When Elizabeth Warren was claiming Native American ancestry, but only had a small percentage, some pundits were saying that Americans on average had something like 1 or 2% native American ancestry in them. Technically true, but actually about 80% have absolutely zero, 19% have mixed amount, and maybe 1% are full or almost full blooded native Americans.
that makes sense because since people have 1 or even 0 legs, it brings down the average from 2 to 1 point something
It took me a good while to get it LMFAO
@@MacNerfer are you agreeing? 😐

@@astropig_3212 the volcano lightning one may or may not be useful to a very small handful of people, altho im not even sure if someone has died to lightning from a volcanic ash cloud before
Some of these are certainly more useful than others. If more people knew that more of the oxygen we breathe comes from plants in the ocean than from trees, that could affect things, for instance.
"If you took all the veins and arteries and capillaries, all your blood vessels, and you laid them down end-to-end, you would die."
Gee thanks Tom, I could not have known that without you.
Sadly there are people that would probably argue that they arent needed to circulate blood.
so the secret is to NOT lay them down end to end... then you could live without a circulatory system... cool fact -- laying down your circulatory system end to end will kill you... the removal of same is not a death sentence though... lol.

the blind spot in the middle of the night is something that makes so much sense since everytime its dark i tend to look with my (near) peripheral view but never knew why
That platypus fact will now live in our brains rent free, forever.
Sabrina will be glad haha!
That was one of the only facts I actually knew, only because it was a joke in Phineas and Ferb.
Seeing as platypus can produce both milk and eggs, they are technically portable omelette makers.
They are also venomous.... you're welcome
My biology-learned friend told me this ages ago, but it's basically not limited to platypuses. If I remember correctly, milk glands are just sweat glands that just add a few proteins. The similarity between the liquid produce also accounts for the "cheesy" smell of sweaty feet.
Didn’t realise I’d be appearing alongside this many legends! And I wish I could reach Tom Scott’s level of wisdom. Loved it
Well they also didn't know they'd be appearing alongside someone as legendary as yourself! ;)

I suspect the birthday paradox is because in certain months, there are more babies born than others. In the US there is around 80-90K discrepancy between the highest month and the lowest, multiply that over 20 years and you have a TON more people born in July & August, than any other month, thus the 50% of 2 people sharing a birthday in that period.
In simple terms Tom Scott said: People die when they are killed
That's pretty on brand for him
Well actually dying is a side effect of getting killed, which affects 100% of its victims

“If you have two legs, you have more legs than the average human” i love that fact
If you have one heart then you have less hearts than average human.
I dont get it
@@jackyjess7273 because most people have two legs, but some people were either born with only one leg, some without any, and some lost their legs during their life, therefore the average legs per person must be around 1,9 something, wich makes having two legs more than average.
Look up mean, mode and median averages. This fact only works with one of them
@@akseldamberg6135 but what about those who were born with more than 2 legs due to genetic mutations??

12:55 The 'trigeminal' sensation is why mint was the only thing i could correctly identify when tested for anosmia (inability to smell). My exact words were "That's mint because it's cold." The other options were strawberry, tobacco, cinnamon, and orange.
"the world's oldest living Rose is over 1,000 years old , planted in Germany in 1815" Are we living on the 2800's?
Maybe it has been transplanted
I wondered about that, too. According to Laidback Gardener, that was supposed to be 815.
yes we are living in the 2800's, it turned 2821 a few weeks ago, are you stupid?

There is a book named “The value of useless knowledge.” The topics being studied by researchers at the time of that book (decades ago) were expected to perhaps be useful in more than 100 years. It turned out a that several of the topics generated industries within 10-20 years.
and thus i present to you: SS = sperm storage!
Did you mean “The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge” published in the 1930s?

@@Gazmus uhm, it's 2021 as I type this, and you asked if the useless knowledge book that DEMONSTRATED to actually, in effect, be useful, within 10-20 years after printing was from 2017?

One of the best videos I've seen on CZcams
"A million second is about 2 weeks, but a billion seconds is around 32 years..."
LOVE that this is the first fact presented! And it's the comparison I always go to when I try to make people realize that politicians promising to spend BILLIONS should NEVER be a trivial thing!
Be sure and add that a trillion seconds is 30,000 years. That really puts a 3.5 trillion dollar add-on spending/borrowing proposal in perspective.
@@oldsguy354 That's good to know as well.
I got mildly curious: 100,000 seconds is about 28 hours (so not that much over 1 day). So, when it comes to people's income: 6 figures is on the scale of a few days, millionaires is on the scale of weeks, but with billionaires it doesn't take that much before need to switch to using centuries to measure it. This is part of why the notion that "no one needs that much money" exists when we start talking about some of the richest people out there.
So with a few billion dollars, you could spend a dollar every single second you exists (counting while asleep of course) and you wouldn't run out out of money before you died.
Meanwhile, my max manual income on record is around 14hrs and my current income is like 6hrs.
Yeah the difference between a million and a billion is insane especially when you start thinking about it in terms of money. There's really no reason any human being should be a billionaire.
I use that fact to point out if someone like Bill Gates, Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos wanted to count their money at a dollar per second they would have to have started counting almost 5,000 years ago, centuries before the first pyramids were built.
33 years X 150 (billion) = 4,950 years.
Oldest pyramids 2,650 BC + 2,020 = 4,670 years
@serge levesque That is exactly what I thought!
1:14 Mark Rober: If you had a rope that stretched round the equator of the earth.
Post-production animator: I'll just show that top to bottom.
As he is assuming the earth is completely spherical it really doesn't matter hence idk lol
C2-C1=[2pi*(r+n)]-[2pi*r}
= 2pi*r + 2pi*n - 2pi*r = 2pi*n, (n=1 meter, C2-C1= about 6 meters)
It doesn't matter if you circle the milky way galaxy with a rope and then put another rope one meter farther out, it only adds about 6 meters to the length of the rope required.
It completely astounds me. I wonder if I can make any money with this.

low key the best video I watched this month
No penguin in Chinese does not mean business goose, it roughly translates to “goose that looks into the distance/anticipating while tiptoeing” being given this name when scientists who first saw them noticed them doing just that. It just so happens that one of the words that can be translated into “business” uses that same character, perhaps also due to the notion of eagerly anticipating/looking into the distance.
I enjoyed the video, but if you’re going to use your platform to reach a large amount of people and talk about another culture, you should probably fact-check with sources from said culture. Thank you
I heard another interesting fact about penguins is that 'penguin' is the only welsh word in the English dictionary. 'Penn' means bird, and 'gwynn' means 'white'.
