    I said this in chat as well, but I'd love it if for Sporcle you could do something to make your mouse pointer more visible - like make it darker, or increase its size, because as it is right now it's pretty hard to track for me sometimes. Other than that, great quizzing content as always!

    Quiz be like: For any given mass of O2, at 10 degrees C, how does the pressure exerted by the O2 in a 10L vessel compare to the pressure exerted by the O2 in a 3L vessel?
    Next question: What is 2+2?

    • @thisisachannel.780
      @thisisachannel.780 Před rokem +1

      for simplicity’s sake, let’s assume that there is 1 mol of O2 in these vessels and that these gasses are in an ideal environment (makes calculations a lil easier). the pressure exerted within the 10L container is 2.323atm while the pressure exerted within the 3L container is 7.745atm. there is an increase in pressure by 3.334x 😌 the next question though? no clue, you’re out of luck buddy

    • @Michael-kp4bd
      @Michael-kp4bd Před rokem +8

      If this is a sincere question, here’s a sincere answer. He averages 8-12 thousand viewers. Not all are chatting at a given time, of course, but a ton of messages flow through in those few seconds. He’s scanning for answers to what he asks, or messages that he thinks are funny, or ones that make HIM think of something clever. Or sometimes he’s literally just enjoying seeing the reaction to what he’s saying.
      Something to notice in many videos: if he spots a message that he thinks is really clever, he will read it out loud (making it clear it’s from chat). The interaction is engaging. He’s a great streamer. He also manages to make the best of the chat experience translate to CZcams pretty damn well. Hope that makes sense. Cheers.
