Welcome to the wonderful world of insane abandoned projects! There have been a lot of crazy ideas in history, like hydrogen filled airships or invading Russia in the winter. But with crazy ideas like these becoming a reality in our past, imagine what was considered too "out there" to make the cut. In this video, I thought I'd share some of the most interesting abandoned projects from our colorful past!
Side Note: It's absolutely bonkers that I passed 100k subs so quickly, thank you you wonderful fledglings for your amazing support!

Corrections:
- I was wrong about Brits using kilometers. While I knew the UK used the metric system, I did not know how much they mix up units, and apparently they use miles all the time for things like road signs and speedometers. Mentally replace the UK with another European country and the joke will work.
- The US flag draped vertically in the background is actually backwards, the stars should be facing to the left.
- The pictures of Poland shown at 8:30 are not actually Poland. Google hath failed me. As one commenter pointed out, they are from Norilsk, Russia and the Czech Republic.

NOTE: I always have some stupid mistake in my videos and in this one I was wrong about Brits using kilometers. While I knew the UK used the metric system, I did not know how much they mix up units, and apparently they use miles all the time for things like road signs and speedometers. Mentally replace the UK with another European country and the joke will work lol
We measure distances in miles, height in feet and inches, but small lengths in centimetres and swimming pools in metres. We measure weight in kg and g if its food, but if it's a person then lbs and something we call stone that no one outside of Britain uses, and no one inside of Britain knows how much one of those is. We're pretty much on board with litres, except of course for beer and milk which has to come in pints.
Happens to the best of us
@@EwenCarr I hope you are joking or at the very least exaggerating, no country can be THAT insane.
@@Ale_ssandro No. They are entirely correct
@@Ale_ssandro No, @Ewen is spot on, that is exactly how ridiculous it is over here. We measure our distances in miles but sell our fuel in litres, then talk about fuel efficiency in miles per gallon...
As a Polish person, I’m starting to find the idea of replacing half of the country with a waterpark disturbingly attractive
Yeah, we just need to use the right side of country (the eastern one) for that.
erm that's like half of Florida already bud. they seem to be doing well(aside from them hurricanes)
I fully I agree
Isn't it a bit cold around there? Wouldn't we need all the power from the Gibraltar dam just to keep your pool warmed up?
@@lorizoli just fatten yourself up enough to have the blubber protect you from the cold.
The death pyramid is actually a dope idea. Love the idea of a monolith dedicated to death looming over a cityscape.
Kinda reminds me of that hotel in Pyongyang. Might as well repurpose it.
**Lavender Town theme plays**
easy, edgelord
Tomb kings be like
Settra: Heavy breathing
The "Death Pyramid" sounds metal af. Making "astronomer who works on top of the death pyramid" the single most metal job in history. We were deprived of that.
If it was built I'd become an astronomer just to work there
Never too late to start!
Personally I'm pro death pyramid but anti observatory on top of death pyramid. Having a tower on top of a pyramid kinda ruins the whole vibe and also it's a monument to man's hubris
@@Metal_Maoistnah you put all the gizmos and everything in the pyramid and the cap is also a scope it would be amazing.
I can’t imagine walking up 90 stories worth of steps. Would get your cardio in. Or slip and be added to the building
I love how every since Sam O’nella took a break, half a dozen chanels moved in to fill his ecological niche. And they all rock. Props to you, Bluejay!
Speciation in action in the youtube ecosystem. Nature is beautiful.
Please post the other channels.
@@DexteruL +1
Sam just made a new video, and it's beautiful.
Did you know that there's a blind cave beetle with the species name ? (It was named to commemorate him becoming Chancellor, before all the...stuff.)
It's actually critically endangered from people collecting way too many!
The beast has risen once more....
Yes, Atlantis the Lost Empire is an extremely underrated movie and is far better any Percy Jackson movie adaptation.
I don't know what you're talking about. There has never been a movie adaptation of the Percy Jackson books.
@@TheSpecialJ11 there are, and they're trash
It's a great movie, but have you played Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis?
@@OLI-vx1md they're widely agreed to be a disgrace to the books.
To be fair literally anything is better than the Percy Jackson movies
Fun fact, the “farmland” that Sorgel promised would have actually been unusable salt flats and essentially a drier desert
Sorgel was a bit... optimistic (and deluded).
Which then would've spread all over the (fortunately) current coastline.
Not to mention the huge increase in regional temperatures that would have brought the Sahara into Europe's doorstep...
I was _thinking_ "hey, won't removing a the largest body of water for a region affect weather patterns?" This is like how the first DVD players had glitches that caused the DVDs to jam. The engineers who made them forgot that when heated, like when in play in the players, the mostly made of metal DVDs would expand.
Just a very large d'uh that lasted longer than a moment.
Then let's just move our cities to the dead land and use the possibly fertile land where the cities used to be for farming, bulletproof plan :D
Fun fact: There were a LOT of prototype hydrogen airships before the Hindenburg, all built by Germany, and nearly every single one exploded, but the military kept funding airship research.
It probably would have all worked if they just switched to helium
Helium is actually a surprisingly rare substance on earth. The US at the time controlled most of the helium on earth and so was rather difficult for the germans to procure. At one point some of the airships that the US fielded took 10% of all helium on earth to float.
@@NRH111 And it is much heavier, 4g/mol instead of 2g/mol hydrogen is. Also tends to feckin go through all materials, so the airship would gradualy deflate.
Funnily enough, Poland more or less agreed with your idea. The government started heavily subsiding theme parks to encourage entertainment and tourism.
That is how Energylandia went from farmland to the roller coaster capital of Europe (soon to be, the world) in about a decade.
Is it perhaps next to the largest coal plant, which does not know how to use waste heat, and is lazy to build a cooling tower?
The real flashbang was the mental flashbang of hearing IFunny mentioned online outside of IFunny.

@@loturzelrestaurant dude, I hate musk as much as the next sane person but you need to stop spamming comments.
I saw the original London pyramid plans in the london archives a few years back, honestly mad to think of the modern london skyline and how it would change conceptions of the uk. during the 19th century london also had the london necropolis line which was a railway system purely for the dead and getting bodies out of the city, the london necropolis company possibly has the sickest logo and railways station name ever
The London Necropolis Line: where a full train is still a deadhead move.

Fun fact, in 1910 there was a bill proposed to Congress to spend $250,000 on buying hippos from Africa. Then these Hippos would be sent to Louisiana to create "Lake Cow Bacon". It was supported by Teddy Roosevelt.
ok now I can officially call Teddy "Insane Teddy" or if I could call him that one famous jerk of a movie teddy "Ted"
@@macaylacayton2915 I agree that idea was straight out of a SNL sketch,only this time the writers were congressman.

Holy crap, the death pyramid needs to be a thing....
It absolutely has to happen. Thousands of years in the future, I want some poor archeologist to lose his/her shit finding such a thing.
Build the death pyramid out of the coffins.
Probably zim/xer by then ;)
Man, im do happy Jay is making it big, he may be new to the game but damn is he good at it!
Honestly im was so incredibly hungry for more sam o nella videos until now after finding bluejay, my crippling need for poorly drawn educational videos with corny humor is starting to be satisfied
I just realized my typo, I can't fix it or Jay's heart on the comment will go away. The one time i get a hearted comment and it has a typo! Argh!

The British missed an excellent opportunity to become the first Necron tomb city. Also, ironically the Pyramid of Death would probably be the most enduring structure in all of England for the foreseeable future.
And it would probably be the biggest tourist attraction

Fun fact: During the Egyptomania, they used to consume body parts of mummies for "medicinal purposes"
Yes , the powder was called Mummia. Come to think of it they kinda prescribed cannibalism as a cure.
Also to make a brown paint. Because why not.
Funner fact: most of Europe and the Middle East got started on that in the Middle Ages- a continent and a half spent centuries cannibalising people's corpses :D
And as an aphrodisiac
Mummies are only rare because we ATE THEM
what the fuck

Meh to @7:55; the Dutch figured out biosalinity on land that was reclaimed from saltwater marshes.
ah yes happy gas, how can 1 forget that? seriously that was...................................something
The Death Pyramid literally sounds like the pokemon tower in lavender town, only bigger. Imagine the Marowaks in that bad boy.
That "Ew" @ 5:53 killed me! 😂

We don't just use the metric system in Britain. We use a confusing mish-mash of metric and imperial. Let's get in that plane that's 100 metres away and travel 100 miles at a height of 30,000 feet. The maximum takeoff weight is 40,000kg, how much does everyone weigh? I'm 9 stone.
I think that's part of the joke, it seemed too self aware to not know
I was saying the same thing to my wife, lol
Huh? Oh, it was in the part of the video I skipped over.
Oops, I seem to always make some silly error in my videos! I did not know how much them Brits mix things up, thanks for pointing this out! Mentally replace the UK with Germany and hopefully the joke lands better lol
@@BlueJayYT MUCH BETTER ;) lol

Honestly, the giant death pyramid is actually a really cool idea that utilises space. I think we should resurrect it and build it in the North.
I see what you did there
I dont get it :( please explain

Ah a man of taste
Ooooh it’s Ryan Reynolds!!
I was stopping and starting (rinse & repeat), and I just couldn’t see the image clearly (mainly because my phone screen is badly cracked)
(this is the second time I’ve watched this video, trying to identify the image…all to no avail)
Soooooooooo, what I’m trying to say is……..
THANK YOU so so much FOR SHARING.
(Sharing is caring) 🙂🐿
Your videos just keep getting better and bettee in every aspect, the editing is amazing, the jokes are really good (the lazy fucks one got me the most), and this topic is so intresting, this is your best video so far, and I can't wait to see what you have in your future, great job.
Damn dude, that's so nice of you to say!! Thank you!

Agreed!
Agreed!
That was one of the best sponsored video segments I have ever seen

I accept investments in the form of peanuts.
The other military plans discussed by the general sound like they'd make a fantastic video all on their own!
Yeah... search up cia top 5 failures
8:16 You are a man of culture. "Atlantis the Lost Empire" was the 2nd best Disney movie, after Treasure Planet. I can't wait to see Disneyworld build a hotel or themepark based on these two movies.
IFunny shout-out let’s go!
I love these animated history type channels. They’re always so good and I haven’t found one yet that disappoints.
Man, even the ad is funny. Love you BlueJay!
That tank animation was so detailed and only used for a split second. Must've taken an eternity.
I appreciate your diligence :)
3:55 of course the idea came from Ohio
Fr only in Ohio
The flash bangs gag keeps me coming back to this video… But the 5 million bodies gag is probably one of my favorite things in a CZcams video in the last 10 years. Seriously
1:06 well actually you'll find in the UK we use miles for measurement of long distance. It all stems from the *insert esoteric historic reason here*

yay the blue jay is getting sponsors, hopefully many more vids coming soon. only got a couple vids left to binge on
It's incredible, the videos are short, but they don't feel crumpled and you don't lose track of the story from start to finish. And of course the jokes... "Why do we need a dam if we have land nearby that no one uses!"
Share your wisdom bluebird!
This is the first video of this channel I was recommended and damn man, you just got yourself a new fan and subscriber. Can't wait to see future videos.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy your stay!

This video is gold. Thank you for your concern for the polish, at least someone’s looking out for them haha
This is the first time I've been here for a new BlueJay video - and it certainly didn't disappoint. It's pretty mad how much progress you've made this year, and I'm glad to be along for the ride now.
BlueJay, you are making all of the samonella (and now bluejay) fans proud, keep up the good work! And happy holidays to you sir

This channel really gives off sam o'nella vibes
I never heard of theses! The gay bomb and the Antlatropa ideas are just…. jfc 😳 lol. Um but you didn’t include the Palace of the Soviets so I’ll be waiting for part 2. Thanks 😘
Atlantropa is in the new order and it’s why fascist Italy, Spain and Turkey all hate Germany and have formed the Triumvirate.
Man, Bluejay hitting it out of the park! I love these videos, I honestly laugh audibly every time. Keep the great content coming!
