      People are always correcting you when you're not even wrong. Wait,@@_dan_gutierrez are you serious? "He did it backwards" as in started at the end, instead of the beginning... whatever you've convinced yourself is wrong with this statement is nitpicking at best. Even if using a temporal word is _technically_ "better," the first one is not incorrect, so only a pompous douchecanoe would ever "correct" someone for that. The Captain seems to be aware of that, but you-- unless this is a joke.

    My favorite thing about Holly is that the character was initially supposed to be a skeptical satire of religion and superstition, but as the channel evolved, the character is being used to to comment on the condescending know-it-all-ism that can be found within the skeptic community. More reasons why this channel is genius (and socially aware).

      Johny (yes this is a reply to a 3 year old comment) but I would suggest you switch off the subtitles. Only if you hear something you do not quite got, turn them on for that particular word/phrase. I am also not a native speaker, in fact English is my 3rd language, but watching it with subs just makes it harder to pick up things. Like I was always asking people to repeat things because I couldn't hear what they said. But without subtitles... after a month or so I did much much better.

      @VoltisArt Před rokem +1

      What I'm somewhat surprised was not made more clear here was the distribution Holly mentioned. It's not remotely that flat, it's an obvious bell curve, very reliably. The "marbles" should have been heaped into a hill-like shape (possibly burying some bottom pegs) in the middle, with just a handful at either end. That alone debunks the video.
      There is actually a very small chance that random events build order, because what we _feel_ looks random is an _artificially_ even distribution, while pure randomness includes clusters, gaps and even parts of patterns which eventually, with enough attempts, can form anything. It's that thing where if you put enough chimps in front of enough typewriters, one of them will eventually write War and Peace or the Bible. It is not at all likely, but possible that the random cluster of marbles is color-sorted by their random interaction with the pegs.

      @pirobot668beta Před 6 lety +36

      Each marble has a slightly different bounce, with color coding.
      Red bounces the most, blue is middling, green being the least bounciful.
      Drop them each the same height onto an angled surface, catch them in different chutes.
      The rebound distance/angle sorts the high, middle and low bounciful balls apart readily.
      This doesn't sort by color, per se, but it would sure look like it does!
      For real color-based, non-electronic sorting:
      Each ball acts as a tiny lens, to focus bright light onto a bi-metallic strip through a colored filter.
      These strips bend one way or the other, depending how hot they get.
      The filters are 'band-pass', they pass light of certain colors, block all others. Red-pass, green pass, blue-pass.
      The strip, on being heated by the filtered light, would bend, actuating some kind of trap-door, allowing the marble to pass. Or not.
      A red marble in the green 'trap' would not activate the strip, so no bending, marble rolls past the trap.
      Or the other way: A red marble in a red 'trap' would get passed along, red marble in green 'trap' drops out? Not green sensor? Options!
      So, each strip responds only when a marble is in place to act as a lens and the marble passes right color of light to get through the filter.
      It wouldn't be terribly fast, but as long as there enough light to activate the strips, it runs.

      @Professional Pretender I do not believe that statement is accurate. Also in the current year of 2019, it is much more appropriate to say a member of the LGBTQIA+ community who identifies with the male gender he was assigned at birth, and exhibits attraction to other men who identify with the male genders they were asssigned at birth. This comment could be accurate though if you exhibited some sort of sarcasm in making this statement, and if the definition of gay you were using is the adjective which according to Merriam Webster means happily excited or merry. Because Captain Disillusion's lore is not a merry or excited one. The lore involved in this video is actually a rather sad and unfortunate one. From what I've been able to deduce from the few other videos I've seen, Captain Disillusion divorced the woman, Holly, seen in the video (who he has a son with BTW). She was once evil in nature, and spent previous trying to get back with the Captain. She's losing her powers, isn't really evil anymore, and has settled on having a friendshop with her ex-lover. If this was the intent you were trying to convey in this single three letter word, then I applaud you.
