Emkay: you get one more r/historymemes and thats it
Lexi's the type of nice person to tell you the glass is half full, then when you're not looking, fill it to the brim.
Technically its always at least full with Air
No, it gets filled slightly above the brim but not enough to spill
Accurate
Wholesome gaslighting?
No if you see Lexi's tweet she instead will replace the water with sprite and THEN fill it to the brim

Laika ( i think ) deserved so much better than she got. She was a stray who thought she was getting adopted.
aww poor thing :(
To be fair, one of the scientists involved did take her home with him just before the launch, so she could play with his kids and run around a bit. It wasn't much, but she did get at least a taste of what a real home was. Still makes me cry.
It was utterly disgusting and pointless, send a human up, as they are not forced to do so, they choose to do so. Laika got no choice. I really detest people sometimes the way they treat animals.

2:50 - It's specifically all the spices. In the Medieval times, cinnamon and nutmeg were literally worth their weight in gold in Europe.
Also, smartphones probably won't work due to the lack of infrastructure to support it. Much like being stranded in the middle of nowhere...
1:10 I would just like to say, as a massive Beatles fan, that John Lennon never described himself as a working class hero. He simply was showering praise on working-class citizens, and was in no way insinuating that he was working-class. (Although, it is worth noting that he was born into a working-class family.)
hes not even praising them, hes saying they should be paid more and valued lol

@Weaponized Possum On some levels, I unfortunately agree with you.
@Weaponized Possum We as humans love to love the terrible people with fancy titles and catchy phrases. Look at every horrible human, we make movies, books and tv shows about them. But for every 10 of those we make 1 about a good person. John was absolute polished turd, and if he wasn't the idolize child of the hippies, he would have been forgotten by history.
8:57 I can explain. Essentially this is the design for the FIRST heavily used tank in war. The British "Mark 1" tank. Technically a different tank, "mother" (the only one we have today is named "little Willie" was the first ever tank made, but the mark 1 was the first actually used in wars. As you can tell, the treads are the largest part of the vehicle, which is so that it can easily traverse trenches, which were in use at the time. (WW1)
For extra history points the long treads were really about the only part they got right. The geometry and armaments were all sort of made up on the spot because nobody had a clue how a tank worked. For extra irony points, the introduction of mechanized warfare greatly reduced the efficacy of trenches thus long tread tanks like the Mark I essentially obsoleted themselves.
@@BlendyStick im pretty sure its just that they didn’t know what they were making.
It is not called the little Willy
@@beausmith9920 yes. Correct. I said that the one that we HAVE is called little Willie.

"to be fair, the treaty shouldn't have been fair" but the treaty not being fair caused the rise to power of Hitler! it most definitely should've been fair, like after the Napoleonic wars, because that fair treaty meant we had 99 years of world peace*
*no major powers were at war, some nations did have wars at this time, but it was mainly outside of Europe and not between the great powers
Yeah I thought that comment was a bit uninformed too
*ahem
The Crimean war, The Brothers War, The Franco-Prussian War.
There were no World Wars. But to say there were no Major powers at War is just wrong. The Crimean War had Russia fighting Britian and France, The Brothers War had Prussia fighting Austria, both considered great powers at the time, with a small appearance from France, and I don't think I need to explain the Franco-Prussian War. Oh and arguably I should include the Russo-Japanese War.
IIRC in the context of classical Greek mythology, Zeus was meant to be the _ideal_ husband and father. He may have been a serial philanderer, but that was accepted for, at least, aristocratic married men. His portrayed parenting is archaic to us, but he encouraged his children to live up to their potentials. We see him as shitty because society has moved on and cares (mostly) more about consent and autonomy. If we came up with Hellenism today you'd bet he'd resemble our society's ideal of a father and world leader.
If he was supposed to portray an ideal husband, than why Hera didn't get it and was always in a fit of jealous rage over it!?
8:55
That’s the British Mark I tank often called “big willie”. the first fully produced tank , it is the successor of the “little willie” prototype tank which was scrapped because of it’s slow speeds little firepower and inability to cross the trenches. The mark I had two variants: “male” and “female”
The male variation had two 6 pounder guns and three .303 hotchkiss mg’s
The femal variation had four vickers mg’s and one .303 hotchkiss mg’s
The mark I Has 11 other continuations
(Marks II, III, IV, V, V*, V**, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X), only 10 [versions] of which were actually ever produced and usually only had minor improvements to the last generation
Better known as "That Battlefield 1 tank from the campaign"
that's a Mk. V "Male" tank, not a Mk. I. "Mother" (or unofficially called Big Willie) was only a prototype for what became the Mk. I. Mk. Is were the first produced, Mk. IV was the first widely used design. Mk. II and III were mainly training vehicles and never saw combat. Mk. IV and V are the "definitive" design, they saw the largest production numbers and saw combat on pretty much all fronts between 1917 and 1918. Mk. VI-VIII were prototypes/post-war developments and never went into production, though the VIII (also called Liberty) were among the first tanks designed for the US Army. Mk. IX, though based on the V, was a Personnel Carrier (the first APC). Mk.X was never built, it was an alternative design to the VIII.
@@Mr.Heller "Black Bess" was a Mk. V Male in BF1, the real Bess was a Mk. IV Female
Very sure that is the A7V.

HI LEXI!!

Imagine the WTF moment the hitman that tried to shoot Roosevelt had. I would have just given up and walked away like, "Welp, you win man. I tried. Time to retire the hitman life and become a teacher."
I mean Roosevelt got Shot and literally told the assassin to go away
Roosevelt: [gets shot] omg seriously? Can you just not?! 🙄
Yeah, Roosevelt was the pinnacle of badass. He got shot and was like "Well, that guy was an stupid excuse of an assisin.
5:17 It's actually even better. The woman in question, Galyn Susman, was not just "an animator", she was the supervising technical director. The "home computer" was a company-owned graphics workstation (think five or six digits) that she was given so she could *work from home while caring for her newborn child.*
She was the only one who was allowed a take-home workstation (she would not have been able to work on a PC of the time--home computers were not powerful enough). Everyone else was working in the office on shared storage. Back then, the Internet (or at least home internet connections) wasn't fast enough for her to just pull the files down over the wire so they were sending her complete physical copies every week. So she was the only person working on a separate complete copy of the movie. When someone accidentally wiped the master in the office, it was discovered that the backups had failed and they could only restore about 10% of it. Her copy was thus the only remaining complete copy.
So yeah these days I wouldn't be surprised if everyone working on those movies has a take-home computer with a separate copy of it, or just pulls files over the internet. But back then, the storage, processing power and networking speed required to deal with 3D animation of that quality was a few big steps above what was available to home users.
7:25 “yeah let’s give them guns”
“Ok but what should we write about people’s rights?”
“Let’s forbid slavery”
“No Ben. Just no. Then people wouldn’t like us”
“Hmmm you’re right. Eh whatever GUNS FOR EVERYONE!”
to be fair, working class hero isnt John Lennon calling himself that or calling working class people heroes, its a protest song, saying that nobody should be paid as little as the working class or be so devalued and there's nothing honourable about it. i wonder of op actually ever listened to the song or just heard the name lol.

Lexi with the one about DC and boners: *Uncontrollable laughter stops*

And that tank is the Mark 1. It was the first tank ever made, other than Little Willie, which was more of a prototype and did little more than distract the Germans.

4:02 Sorry Lexi I’m gonna have to say no on that. Taking not only the full brunt of what Austro-Hungary was supposed to as well as their own was definitely unfair land unjustifiable, but to also deny Germany the ability to build any ships that can defend their shipping is downright bs.
I love Lexi!! She’s my favorite narrator (mostly because I’m trans too but we don’t talk about that-)
She? So they used to be a girl and had gender reassignment surgery but kept the pronouns for some reason? Or do they call themselves a she for clout?

8:52 I think they are referencing the m4 tank by the british during ww1 and it was a really great tank. When it wasn’t breaking down in the middle of an assault. It was notorious for breaking down and having numerous problems with it’s engine design. Though, for the time, it was a great assault vehicle able to punch through enemy defenses.
6:29 what makes this even funnier is that Vader would TOTALLY fight for the Union.
9:33 not so fun fact: more people died during the construction of the V1 rockets then from them hitting their targets. The deaths were mostly prisoners from KZs, so it didn't really matter to german leadership
Side note, I laughed way too hard at that Wernher Von Braun quote
1:42 Laika wasn't the first when soviets used dogs in certain death situations. In WW2 soviets strapped bombs on dogs to destroy tanks remotely. They were trained to basically run at tanks and explode.
im not to sure about this, but when they we training (with fake bombs as an example what to do), the soviets used their own tanks with the training, so the dogs instead of going to a german tank that they never seen, they went to the soviet tanks that they remember and was trained with
@@Polish-Phoenician But they were still deployed in some battles for this purpose which i think is the fucked up part.

Humor is the best way to make something both accessible and easy to remember.
When I was in college, I took an Honors history course for which the professor had written his own book because he hadn't found any that he considered adequate. I literally never opened the book, at first because I didn't need to, then as a point of pride. I set the curve on every test so high that the prof started ignoring my grade and basing the curve on the next-highest score. I think I missed maybe three test questions out of a few hundred the entire semester. At the end of the semester, he met with me and urged me to become a history major, offered himself as my advisor, and asked how I did so well on all his tests.
I told him _The Cartoon History of the Universe, Part 1_ by Larry Gonick. Because it was both funny and interesting, I had read that book a dozen times until I had it completely memorized as a kid. The second half of it followed the professor's syllabus almost perfectly. The few things that hadn't been in _Cartoon History_ had been in the lectures, and because I had the context down perfectly, those few things slotted right into my memory.
4:02 to be fair the Germans weren’t fair in their own peace treaty with the Russian Empire (would’ve lost a lot of industry and population)

That is a spot on Morty impression damn
The Treat of Versailles punished Germany so bad that I don't even blame Hitler for starting another war in response to it. Especially when I don't think Germany was at fault for starting WW1. After Theodore Roosevelt died, the vice president at the time Thomas Marshall said, "Death had to take Roosevelt sleeping for if he were awake there would have been a fight."
1:21 that's just good ol' Soekarno
5:15 Yeah, it really happened. Cracked has a video on YT about the entire thing. It started with one of the animators working normally, when he literally started to see the movie effectively deleting itself in front of him, as he watched.
Just remember, in less than a week, "9/11" will be old enough to buy booze

"Ancient Indian burial ground" made me laugh and now I feel bad
0:36 I’m Russian and if you’re wondering why we seem like we don’t smile, it’s because we think that smiling all the time is considered impolite. It might seem like we’re emotionless but really, it’s just a thing we do!
0:57 I may not be correct (I don’t have any sources), but I think that Yuri Gagarin (the first man in space) might be much more famous in former USSR and USSR related countries meanwhile in countries that have been more influenced by the U.S the first men on the moon are more remembered. Let me know if I’m incorrect
Gagarin died in 1968. So that's a big limiting factor.
@@Crosshair84 Makes sense
Huh, just remembered there being a song that went something like "Fly, Yuri Gagarin, fly, and come back alive". I think people might still sometimes sing it in karaoke bars.
8:59
Hi lexi, so if I remember correctly. The meme is referring to the first model of tanks during ww1, which where very clunky and slow, also not that well built. Since this was an experimental machine
That's all to my knowledge so far, to anyone who has more info about this, please comment, and don't harass me, please
I feel like history memes should be an assignment for work
5:13 Yeah, that happened. In 1997, during a routine cleanup, a (wisely) unnamed employee input the code "RMRF" in the wrong directory, which deleted every single file for Toy Story 2. For various reasons, they didn't have any backups at the time. The only reason the movie still exists is because the supervising technical director at the time, Galyn Susman, had just given birth and frequently had to work from home, so she happened to have the only existing backup on her home computer. They actually referenced this in Toy Story 4, with a license plate reading "RMR F97"
8:55 For the people wondering that is an british mark IV form ww1

6:05 In terms of war, France is one of the most successful militaries in history. In 168 battles, they've won 109, lost 49, and drawn 10. That's a W:L ratio of 2.22:1.
The mcqueen tank was a ww1 tank that was made to be able to go over trenches, it is quite cool
If jack did this it would be so cursed and we would love it
6:27 The BEST response to that statement!
6:27 I wish I had seen this earlier. My 7th and 8th history teacher (a boomer in a millennial body) said it was about states rights. There *were* multiple factors but I feel like there’s a big one there. Wasn’t the only bull malarkey she believed.
At least she’s not someone who’d hang a confederate flag on the wall. If was did she probably wouldn’t have a job because we are in Missouri and she should know history.
The great irony is that states had fewer rights under the CSA. In the US a state could choose to be a free or slave state. In the CSA, states were constitutionally prohibited from banning slavery.
