Human eyes are built to be most sensitive to that particular wavelength of light (~550 nanometers), at least during the day.

So does that mean you can become immortal by just saying "I'm a professional troll" every time you grew old to go back to your younger self? TOP 10 QUESTIONS SCIENCE STILL CAN'T ANSWER.
I always thought it was a conscience decision by Tom to make his videos void of any product placement or advertising. As I learned recently, even wearing clothing with logos could be considered an endorsement.
In a previous video on another channel Tom made a comment about differentiating between being a fan of someones work and being a fan of them as a person. At that point I was a fan of his work. After watching him with Matt I'm really curious how much of their banter is actually just them being friends vs them trying to make good content.
Huh, that's weird to think that there's an age where you can't wear T-shirts anymore, is that a UK thing? 'Cause people round here just wear T-shirts as they please, whatever their age.
The_Catman It’s not really a case of can’t wear. It’s more shouldn’t wear because they can’t pull it off any more. But many still do blissfully ignorant of the fact they look extremely ‘washed up’ to put it nicely. (Ignore the fact I’m 4 years late)
I like how every now and then, I come across more things that reinforce the idea that I already know Tom - something undoubtedly sparked by the parasocial relationship from watching his videos and seeing him online for ages, but also that sense of familiarity that comes from either feeling like we’ve already met and drank together in a pub; or at the very least, we’re part of the same social group and our respective friends have met and drank together in a pub, or we’ve each met and drank in a pub with each others’ respective friends. Case in point here - while I wouldn’t say I *know* Steve from the Pembury, I’m fairly sure I’ve ended up in his flat above the (dearly departed) Oakdale Arms with a bunch of friends after the pub closed for the night, probably on a Thursday evening in the late 00s or maybe early 10s. And I’ve been to the Pembury a whole bunch of times - for Thursday night drinks, for boardgames, for Sunday roasts (and Tom, while I don’t really know Steve, I definitely do know Chris who worked at the Pembury for a while, and if you were a regular there you probably do too)! …I’m not sure what it says about me to be starting off my new year with a dose of nostalgia, but here we are! 😅
