- What point actually has the claim to tallest point on Earth? Where's the hottest place in the world? Or the most powerful winds?
Today on The List Show, we're covering geographical superlatives. Tallest, wettest, hottest, and many many more.

Cave diving is legitimately one of the most dangerous things a human can do. Diving alone can go wrong in hundreds of ways, all with the potential to end your existence; however, if all else fails, you can dump your weights and get to the surface, you might survive. Then cave diving takes away that one last chance. Yeah, that's a big NOPE from me too dude
It's terrifying,I have a hard time even watching the videos😂
does AI do all their scripts or just the guy who did the ape video? LOL So close yet so wrong on many things!
I have a friend who’s a self described adrenaline junkie and reckless risk taker.
He jumps out out planes, base jumps, climbs mountains and goes deep sea diving in his free time.
He told me the same thing you did. He’d never go cave diving.
Yay a new upload! Can you add this one to your list show playlist too?? I may or may not binge these during the late nights when my brain just doesn't want to sleep. Y'all are my comfort channel fr
bonus record:
The record for the longest heat wave in the world is generally accepted to have been set in Marble Bar in Australia, where from October 31, 1923 to April 7, 1924 the temperature broke the 37.8 °C (100.0 °F) benchmark, setting the heat wave record at 160 days.
Well I didn't have "trigger my claustrophobia" on my to do list today, but thanks
Mount Washington in New Hampshire held the record for the highest wind speed in @ 1935 at 231 mph in non hurricane / Tornado condition.
Erin doesn't mention Mt. Washington, but, strangely, the closed captioning beneath her does...
Can you add this to the Playlist for these list videos, please? I listen to the list regularly and like to listen to multiple videos in a row. They help me relax. Thank you 😊
Hard to imagine we know to the millimeter how far away the Moon is, but not how long the Amazon is.
Because it’s not a straight line. Same reason it’s basically impossible to get a completely accurate measurement of how long a coastline is.
I can see the problem. The closer you look the longer is gets.@@pauldickman4379
My friend and I were so creeped out by "The Descent" that we can't talk about it and refer to it as "that movie"!
Cave diving is terrifying
A+ video!
Awesome video, it's epic!
and the thing about caving is this: there's almost never anything interesting down there...its just rocks!
I have been enjoying Mental Floss for a long time. Keep it up. One request... as an American, PLEASE speak metric. Show F˚ and other units to help others. Metric is just so global. Love your stuff.
I was left without words, almost, when you said the rain was being measured in feet and not inches. Makes me think, I would feel wet, soaking wet, all the time. Glad the rain here is still measured in inches.
The UAE AND Parker, Arizona (my honetown) BOTH tied for the hottest temperature recorded...Summer, 1994....136°F! BEATING 1913 Cali heat by 2 degrees! Lol
I've been to Parker once! Tagged along with my dad to retrieve a trailer his bosses kid left on the side of the road north of the town. Until my brothers wedding in Wyoming it was the furthest east I had ever gone in my entire life.
I was cave diving in North Central Florida at a depth of @75' and 150 yards from the entrance when I had a "situation" that almost took my life. No, I didn't cave dive anymore after that.
Love geographical facts!
We in Melbourne had a temperature of 47.2 C on the Thursday before the Black Saturday fires back in 2009!
Would you do a list on mass disappearance events?
I like these easily digestible knowledge nuggets...with or without BBQ sauce.
what happened to "The Jungle" graphic novel? i was paying attention ....
I’m very worried about man-made global tectonic plate movement.
I wish I believed in myself the way Erin believes in those goddamn bangs.
"none of these places is technically the world's wettest spot."
Me : well yeah obviously., it's Atlantis
Hi MentalFloss. I’ve not been here in 14 years. Where is that guy at?
It seems those pesky Tectonic Plates are to blame (or credit) for almost every record. Maybe we should be glad there's no Tectonic cups and saucers or we'd all be in one heck of a mess 😅
Anyone who watches Spooky Lake Month on TikTok already knew about Lake Baikal 😁
Veryovkina makes me think of Mystery Flesh Pit.
The subtitles really need proofing, they become out of synch, include things like [PDF] .. It really made it hard for this HoH person to follow. :(
Not sure how they're done, but sometimes they're good for a laugh which only us HoH and the deaf will get to partake of.
Normally, I can tell when they're CZcams generated .. but these ones have stuff in them that isn't in the verbal. Which is why it got a mention rather than eyeroll. At least they tried. :D
ultradeep sea animal life can be real cute, too, but mostly not [that hoomans has seen]
If you go by the standards measuring mountains then North America is also a large mountain
🤔 What is the world's shortest mountain?
Veryovkina cave is in Abkhazia, the video implies Russia claims it's in Russia.
Fun fact, Mt Everest is 12 feet taller now than when Hillary reached the summit in the 1950s.
Metre is the correct spelling.
Mt Eeverest is the tallest mountain on earth while the tallest POINT is volcan Chimborazo in ecuador. get your facts straight.
First 5 seconds: "feet" :(
Oh great.. When Russia disagrees on whether part of a country belongs to another country, you can bet this will become part of Russia someday...
Mountains don’t have altitude, they have elevation.
