Oh YES
5:21 There is a word, it’s Anemoia. It’s defined as a feeling of nostalgia for a time you didn’t experience, whether it be vicarious through someone else, for a time in the past, or a time that didn’t happen at all. Another similar word to describe the feeling is Ringlorn, defined as the wish that the modern world felt as epic as the ones depicted in old stories and folktales.
Some ABBA songs give me that feeling. E.g "Our last summer" I never walked hand in hand along the river Seine, but it feels like I have when I hear it.
Only Tom Scott could turn "I'm out of ideas" into an intriguing video.
Hire an artist to animate these “parallel universe” stories that are narrated by you with the script created bythe AI. Call it “Tales of the Multiverse”
Good idea, but it wouldn't actually teach you anything, so I don't think he'd do it.

@@jayturner5242 woah, that's a bit extreme, I mean can you even imagine Tom wearing green?

"The Green Death And The Industrial Revolution." Actually makes a lot of sense. There was a specific green pigment used in the wallpapers during The Industrial Revolution that contained arsenic. Search "arsenic in wallpaper". Also I think it's also not too weird to have a road that is also a boat, just look for bridging boats.
so, a ferry?
@@thegreatoutagesign9204 Not necessarily, the British army has a vehicle called the 'M3 Amphibious rig' Which is essentially a big truck that also floats which can be joined to another truck just like it to form a bridge across a river during a wartime scenario. Note that the British army is not the only country to use these vehicles.
How about a pontoon bridge? There are a pair of floating bridges in Seattle that carry I-90.
And Aircraft carriers, wow good points!
Iirc, arsenic green was also used to dye clothing, poisoning a bunch of people around the same time as the wallpaper...
It's mind-boggling that this is now a normal thing
Omg, it's adorable that you asked the AI using "please" at the start of your request. You are definitely one of the few people who are going to survive the techno-apocalypse because you showed the machines respect from the start.

@@bfcraft87 well, etymologically, nostalgia does mean homesickness. So both concepts are quite similar.

There is a word for nostalgia for a thing that never existed. "Anemoia". The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is a great resource for broadening ones vocabulary.
The DofOS makes up words (or takes new meanings for new loan words), so you can only really call it broadening your vocabulary if the words they invent enter broader use. I'm not saying its a bad resource, I'm just saying its also not an entirely credible one.
@@jameswalker199 I know this
however this particular word entered my vocabulary and I have indeed been spreading it. I do hope it enters the broader consciousness
More nostalgia for something that you never witnessed but I see what you're getting at. Hireath is another similar thing that can imply the non existence of the something you are longing for.

There's no word for nostalgia for a thing that never existed as far as I know, but the word _Anemoia_ has been coined to describe nostalgia for a time you personally have never experienced.
Welsh has _hiraeth_ at least, _"a deep feeling of yearning for a home that cannot be returned to, no longer exists, or never was"_
English has a close connection to Welsh, so nothing wrong with borrowing the word. Maybe respelling it to "hirythe"/"hirighth"

Takashi brothers: feel the power of the rotary
@@Spibidydkdushusbwns Please tell me where I can access this. I need reference images for things that can't possibly exist for my art projects.
Also is there a way to convert thoughts into words? I need that as well so I can stop being mute half the time.
@@Spibidydkdushusbwns I Haven't seen it. But thanks for telling me about it, it's really interesting.
"Parastalgia."
I checked google, and this is apparently a new word, but it has been used as a moniker.
I quite like "
La nostalgie du possible" too
I like it, because it's both a logically accurate prefix (para- meaning outside of/abnormal, both of which work) and it also evokes the word "parallel" as in "parallel worlds". Additionally it removes the root for 'memory' (the "nos" part), which makes sense because it's describing things which by definition we'd have no memory of.
I like this, I'm going to start using it if I ever get the chance!
Anemoia is another way I’ve heard this feeling described.
@@tiko4621 Except "anemoia" is nostalgia for REAL events that you never took part in. It's a small difference, but I think it's an important one.
None of us knew we needed a Tom Scott chibi but after seeing the video thumbnail there's a sense of tranquility and our lives are complete.
I love how you double check that Lofthouse was still there at the end
isn’t the “Cliff that refuses to be a cliff” kind of a throwback to “Two drums and a cymbal fall off a cliff” since that wasn’t actually a cliff you threw them off?
That would be interesting with current version Tom Scott.
That was most certainly a cliff
@@123457474869 it was not a cliff, if you watch the park bench video you tom states that it is not a cliff
If someone mentions a post joke badum tss or drum and cymbals explicitly... Well, it might eventually become like my (or rather young Mr Scott's) version of rickrolling. But it's not there yet.

“Jeremy Clarkson’s lottery of death” sounds like a mortal twist to the next series of Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
Doctor Who Wants To Be A Millionaire: Jeremy Clarkson's Lottery of Death
@@PanAndScanBuddy Certainly fits in with the laser death Weakest Link they did in 2005.
