- 40 whole minutes of useless information. Over 500 useless and random facts!
Someday I will do 60 minutes (1 hour) of useless information.
Note: I got these from fact books - Zábava
I FINALLY made a new facts video! Let me know what you think!
czcams.com/video/cwcFZ21Nmb8/video.html
The letter "E" was still used as a failing grade throughout my elementary school years in Florida from 1978-1983. It was not completely phased out in the 1930s.
Thx
"It takes 17 muscles to smile, however, it takes 43 muscles to frown."
Me: *Fitness is my passion*
Fun fact the colors blue and white are most shown in the video
Ooh that’s some nice meta analysis right there!
Exactly what I wanted, I approve.
Much appreciated!
I just like to relax and take in these "useless" trivia facts...many I know, some I don't...I am always open to learn new things...keep'em coming!!!
Thanks! This took quite a while. I do apologize for some errors. Lots of misinformation out there sadly 🫤
POV - you actually knew some stuff from this video and are now thinking why is your brain storing useless information
Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for watching
It is not impossible to sneeze with your eyes open.
Impossible is sometimes used to refer to things that are very difficult. But yes, it is not totally incapable of occurring
@@arcade_wizard Then sometimes IMPOSSIBLE is used incorrectly. Because that is not what impossible means. It means NOT POSSIBLE.
They should bring back the original 3 Musketeers idea. That'd be tight.
The rocking chair pre-dates Columbus finding America. No one actually knows who first invented it, but there are examples that are over 3000 years old.
I wish I could fall asleep in 7 minutes
Koalas sleep longer than cats. On average they sleep between 18-22 hours a day. 🐨 🇦🇺
You will shiver when you see my silver quiver.
That’s a nice near rhyme
Tesseradecades is one of a few words that can be typed with the left hand
Never heard of that word
Koala is a marsupial still genesis of mammal.
It sleeps 20 hours.
The most in the planet.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
I am 11 seconds in and I need alreay need to take a shower to cool off. How have I not come across the channel before? I am sold. Thank you.
Thanks! I made this video while arcades were closed. I mostly do arcade videos, but I do something different every now and then.
Dang this needs more views, this is underrated!
I appreciate it! Unfortunately I had some bad sources, with bad facts. I think another issue was my mic broke so I had to speak directly into the laptop.
I want to do this again sometime. It takes a long time, but it’s something I enjoy, so it is worth it
@@arcade_wizard Too bad you had some bad sources.
I got 15 years of useless information from school
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
there is no peach family... peaches and almonds are members of the rose family, along with apples, pears, plums, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries. Botanist here...
Las Vegas casinos always have a clock in their Sport's Books so you know how long until post time
Oh that’s cool! Appreciate the correction
I understood a jiffy to be the amount of time that it takes for light to travel one centimeter. I choose to to continue to believe that.
Could be true. I got these from google, which isn’t always correct. Which is why I never made another one of these. I don’t want to spread falsities
Some of these are pretty useful, like don’t feed chocolate to dogs
That's 4.8 trillion tons of food.
What's the music you use in the video? (Apart from Little Cookie II)
I don’t remember the exact name
@@arcade_wizard well, at least try to remember it!
It was so long ago lol
@@arcade_wizard oh, yeah!
happy birthday went public domain like... 5 years ago. it's no longer under copy right
Fun Fact: Here are the 10th words spoken in each Pixar movie

Ooh those are good facts!
@@arcade_wizard thanks
40:21- where's this visual from? I love it.
Searched “honeycomb” on a gif search engine
@@arcade_wizard is purdy
This is the most John video I have ever seen I love it
Hahaha thanks man!
The blood type fact says: "Be a hero, donate blood"!
Donating blood is heroic!
Mel Blanc was actually not allergic to carrots, he just didn't like them. Oh and the average person will not in fact consume spiders.
Dang I wasted $20 on a faulty fact book
And his name is pronounced Blank
A few comments based on the first five minutes. "Proprietory" is a longer top-row word than typewriter, despite it often popping up in Did You Know lists, Coca Cola was never green and polar bears don't show any particular handedness.
Thanks
4:34 Only 2 are part of the official anthem.
Ah thanks
For the cow upstairs-downstairs fact, did you say "lead" or "leave"?
I believe it was supposed to be lead lol
I also heard it as "lead"!
At 5:13 ...you forgot to say why Flamingoes are pink...it is because of the brine shrimp they eat...
I thought I included that! Definitely a good one
@James Burke It is true.
although 90% of these are correct I'd like to point out that some are wrong/partially wrong, things such as the happy birthday song being copywrited is false as it was uncopyrighted, along with Australia being the only continent that is a country as new zealand (although mostly submerged) is technically its own continent and more. overall good job though, really enjoyed this video!
Thanks! I got them from fact books and Google. I guess some weren’t fully accurate 😬
Rather than just complain, I should add my own facts. The ghosts in Pacman were never intended to be ghosts and are known in the original Japanese version as monsters. The US state of Maine is closer to Africa than Florida is. In parts the Congo River is over 720 feet deep. The world's second largest maker of cymbals is founded by the brother of the man who founded the largest (after the brother was not made CEO of the original company, they clashed). The song "Maniac", heard in the 80s film Flashdance, originally had the lyrics "he'll kill your cat and nail it to the floor". Until the 7th century AD, Latin and Greek were usually written without spaces between words in a continuous line. The vermillion border is the name for the line separating the lip from the surrounding skin. In 1998 baseballer Sammy Sosa held the single season home run record for 43 minutes. In 2003, skater Lucinda Ruh almost doubled a previous record by doing 115 continuous spins on one foot. The steam whistle was introduced to US trains by a man, appropriately called George Washington Whistler. He isn't as famous as his wife who is depicted in the painting known as Whistler's Mother. Australian singer Amethyst Amelia Kelly renamed herself after her dog and the street her mother lived on, becoming Iggy Azalea. "Jazz" is generally regarded as the hardest four letter word to get in a game of Hangman. Despite only being 24 sq miles, San Marino won three medals at the 2020 Olympics. On Christmas Day 2021, the bank Santander accidentally deposited money into the accounts of 750,000 UK customers totalling £130 million (178 million USD).
Can I use these if I do a future facts video?
@@arcade_wizard By all means.
That Blockbuster is in Bend, Oregon. I keep meaning to look for it when we visit.
Orcas are not whales, they are related to dolphins
I am among that 2% of the population
2% of which population?
@@arcade_wizard I forget
how much storage did downloading all of these videos
A lot lol. My video editor crashed multiple times. By far this video took longer to make than my other videos. But people seem to like it more, so that’s cool
Happy to report, we are still the happiest country.
- Finland
Now THAT is something to be proud of. Kudos!
Venus spins clockwise, not counter-clockwise
Wait what
Also, the hummingbird backwards fact is prolonged to the next GIF!
Igor Sikorsky invented the helicopter. Da Vinci made a sketch of a screw powered "flying machine" that could not fly if built. Other than that misinformation, nice video.
I Igor sikorsky was the one who made the first mass produced helicopter. Or did he also invent the first working one as well?
Appreciate the comment. Idk how hard and set the fact books I used are. I feel it could loosely be stated the Da Vinci “invented” the helicopter. But I see your angle
@@arcade_wizard Ah, no worries. And I understand completely how people would say Da Vinci invented the helicopter, the parachute, and the tank. It's just that without a working prototype I wouldn't call it an invention. I could sketch a time machine but that doesn't mean I invented one. But regardless, this was a great video and I have subscribed for more. Cheers!
Thanks! I need to do another facts video. They take a while but are fun. Been too long
Fun fact: the man in Florida fact has 2 GIFs!
Nice! I need to make another one of these sometime
Request: 60 minutes of useless information
I was thinking of counting down. 39, 38, 37… if I have time of course
@@arcade_wizard please make it! I can't wait!
Fun fact this video was uploaded on the 8th of May 2021 and is 40 minutes and 25 seconds long
That’s a good fact to know!
At 19:20 ...WOO WOOO!!!!! I have green eyes!!! I am only 2% of the world!!!!!
Nice!
Lol, is kirmit left handed though
Accually coca cola wasn't green it was a myth the bottle was green good video tho
Thanks! Yeah I made a couple mistakes. Bad sources 😬
That's 1.6 gallons of air
Typewriter
Watched a bit more...The smallest whole number with an A in is 101 for British speakers. Isaac Asimov wrote no books in the 100 category (philosophy and psychology). The Mel Blanc carrot allergy is a myth. The only animal with four kneecaps is, strangely not the elephant as is often said, but the ostrich. The weka is another bird which can swim but not fly.
Appreciate it. I got these from (apparently terrible) fact books 😭
@@arcade_wizard No worries. I think most are correct and I enjoy the images you have matched to each fact. Now I've seen to the end I'll add that Europe has several deserts, as a waterfall Niagara only comes seventh by amount of water flowing over it, goldfish have never had a memory of only 3 seconds (and are never technically pregnant so a twit is not a pregnant goldfish) and the song Happy Birthday To You was ruled out of copyright in 2015.
Wow you watched the whole thing! Thanks! It’s crazy how false information can spread. And thanks for noting the pictures. This took me about 20 hours (which is why I only recently did this one more time, but only 10 minutes). Maybe I’ll do it again. Hopefully my sources are better next time 😅
I can sneeze with my eyes open :)
Yeah that one is more of an old wives tale and I had seen it a few times so I put it in lol
8:39 Asimov never published a book in the Philosophy category.
Thanks for the correction
Koalas sleep 20 hours a day, more than your statement about cats sleeping the most of all mammals at sleeping up to 16
Thanks!
Good steal
What do you mean? I made this myself
@@arcade_wizard of course you made it yourself, the idea, not yours.
@@arcade_wizard hes right, idea came from AustinMcConnel
I didn’t come up with going to the arcade either, and that’s a majority of my videos.
I had a daily subscription of facts back in 05’. Random facts and trivia isn’t new.
Just having fun is all
I straight up credited him in the description…
Truly USELESS!
It sure is! Thanks for watching!
according to Wikipedia, dragonflies live from 7 to 56 days... mayflies, on the other hand, only live for 24 hours.
Oops. Thanks for the catch. I never did another information/facts video for this reason: one source says one thing and then others say another. No way to know what’s right and what isn’t.
Maybe I’ll do 50 minutes and 60 minutes of useless info in the future though, idk
WHY IS MY FOOT THE SAME LENGTH AS MY FOREARM THIS DOESNT MAKE SENSE
It truly is a mystery
Blood donors in Australia receive a text when their blood is used.
That’s really cool!
What about silver and sliver?
Thanks for pointing that out. That could be a half rhyme of sorts or a partial rhyme but I don’t think it constitutes a full rhyme. I could be mistaken, as the definition of rhyme that I used might not fit the definition used by most.
Some of these aren't true, but good video
Oh darn. I thought my sources were reliable. What one(s) were off?
@@arcade_wizard well, one is the goldfish memory one
How so?
@@arcade_wizard it is proven it is up to 3 years
Ah thanks! I guess it is one of those old sayings that get erroneously passed down. If you find any more I would appreciate it if you told me.
Fun fact: the Charlie Chaplin look alike fact is the last fact in this video that is from another video on your Facts playlist!
Fun fact about that. I was originally going to do videos that got longer overtime. However I just I just take all of them and then throw it into one video so some of these facts are found in other videos
i was actually wondering the different sandwiches you could make with subway :/
Lol now I’m hungry. Also, I wonder if it’s changed since that fact was posted. They change their menu every so often.
Many things rhyme with silver (sliver, shiver, liver, quiver, etc). Technically speaking a rhyme is when the final stressed vowel and all following sounds are identical in two words; however, we can be more pedantic that this. Perfect Rhyme, which can be described by the location of the stressed vowel (single, double, dactylic); and General Rhyme, of which there are nearly a dozen varieties, namely: syllabic, imperfect, near, semi, and forced. Under the definition of "perfect rhyme" the "fact" that silver has no rhyme is technically true, along with words such as orange, purple, month, ninth, pint, wolf, opus, dangerous, marathon, and discombobulate. But, under the definition(s) of "general rhyme" all of those aforementioned words can find their rhymes.
I would hate to discombobulate
But I've heard this fact of rhyme many a time
I could type a marathon, and a ton
'til I'm purple and hirple
cry wolf or bluff, if you must
but 'tis dangerous to disregard my opus
while I'm rhyming orange with range in my grange, my dog doesn't have mange
my plinth wasn't built in a month
now the ninth, cutting like a scythe
at last have a pint, I'll take mine with mint.
Thank you for taking the time to explain this. Where did you learn this?
@@arcade_wizard Amateur poetry and google
The dot in the letter i is called a tidle... is that that game is called tiddlywinks then?
🤔
The U.S. consumes 5.5 billion pounds of pasta per year.
That’s a lot! 🍝
27:35 me and my brother got them out at 5
You beat the curve!

Father Christmas used to be green not Coca Cola
Thanks. Lol my facts books are trash 🗑
silver killer
Good one!
Sound quality no where near other videos.
Mine? Or other people?
I like it. Seems like a person having fun making this. Also I can’t imagine how long it took to get all these gifs.
Thanks! It took a lot of hours to download all of them and voice record and sync everything. About 20 hours or so
4:18 useless? Most people alread know, but stil, useless?!
39.5 minutes of useless information and .5 minutes of useful information
Interesting, but I’m not sure whether you speak too quickly or not clearly enough. I kept zoning out.
I talk quickly, or so I’m told. But the issue is that my mic was faulty, so I used the laptop microphone, which is inferior
Schools be like
Unfortunately a lot of it is that way
That's a lie about eating spiders...BTW
Yeah I found out after posting 😬
Thanks
Two in Slovenian is "dve"!
How do you pronounce that?
@@arcade_wizard The writing and pronunciation is the same!
4:23 False. It’s “teetertotter”.
I’ve never seen it spelled as one word. Well teeter-totter, if hyphenated. But I don’t think that counts.
I’ll have to check on that
gold fish's memory is not 3 seconds
Ah. I’ve just heard it many times and read it in multiple fact books lol
@@arcade_wizard i know its been talked about so many times but has been proven wrong not to long ago
Oh darn I guess I missed the memo.
There may be a few inaccuracies in the video. It’s hard to find what’s correct at times
ture.
Appreciate your understanding
Cows don't sleep standing up. Where'd you get these "facts"
From National Geographic:
“Most large land herbivores can doze off on their feet, but only experience deep-or REM-sleep lying down.”
From a dairy website:
“While cows can doze off and sleep lightly on their feet, when it comes to REM sleep, they lie down just like the rest of us.”
Not deep sleep, but sleep nonetheless. My fact stays
@@arcade_wizard yeah, Google is great, but first-hand experience is better. I grew up on a ranch. Cows sleep lying down, and one will keep watch over the herd. It's also noteworthy that cow tipping (tipping a sleeping cow, that's standing) is also a myth. The only true way to tip a cow, is to push one onto it's side so it's legs are no longer underneath it.
6:15 a simple lie
So they say 🤷♂️
Damn I thought AustinMcConnell made a new video
Don't think I've ever seen anyone make something similar like this
I wish others did too because it's fun
It was a lot of fun making it! I wish my mic wasn’t broken at the time; ended up speaking into laptop itself.
The issue with this sort of content os that it takes a long time to make. This took over 20 hours: the repeated sentences to get the tone correct, finding the gifs, cutting everything out, stretching the gifs to the right point, and adding music.
Would I want to do it again? Yes! I don’t have much time atm though unfortunately.
The 8 spider "fact" is not true. Look it up.
All of these were found in a fact book. I guess it was out of date/erroneous.
Filter
6:25 Because it's actually a word.
English makes no sense.
Good to know!
13:58
not useless
14:00
This is false
True potassium is helpful.
Ah I had heard this multiple times. I guess it was just a tall tale
@@arcade_wizard The fact about the spiders was an experiment to see how quickly misinformation spreads
Lol I guess it worked
@@arcade_wizard Yep!
At 4:43 ...The Michelin man is known as Bibendum...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelin_Man
Some of your facts are wrong. For instance goldfish have a longer memory than 3 seconds it's actually a few months
Thx. My trivia books failed me 😭
Fun fact, you stole this video concept from Austin McConnell
Fun fact, that is incorrect. Random facts have been a thing on CZcams long before him, and trivia was a thing before CZcams existed
14:29 untrue, the word "pilfer" rhymes with silver
it means to steal things of little value.
Pilfer rhymes with silver? -ilv sound versus -ilf. I’m sure in some circles it would constitute a rhyme but I don’t buy it
No.
You need to speak a little slower and clearer
My mic was broken at the time
But I do appreciate your input
@austinmcconnel
Yeah he was one of the inspirations for this. Also matthew santoro, who was the first to do it.
Also having fact books as a kid
