The Lemmino Impact.

When the world needed him the most, LEMMiNO appeared.

the fact that they thought the atomic bomb could ignite the atmosphere and then did it anyway is the most human thing I've heard in a while

8:25 I love the explanation for extraterrestrial invasion. "Science fiction until it isn't"

To think this channel used to discuss memes is astonishing, the character development

**LEMMiNO has entered the chat** “This is how we’re all gonna die in great detail”

"As such, the most immediate threat to humanity has, for a long time, been, and continues to be... humanity" yep, could never be more true

Love the videos. Love how we also confidently say "we have detected over 90% of asteroids..." as if we would have a way of knowing how many asteroids we don't detect

"The biggest threat to humanity... Is humanity." And then I instantly get an ad for the Army. You can't make this shit up...

1. Grazed by the Apocalypse 2. Consumed by the Apocalypse 3. Everyone f*cking dies

16:31 - speaking of 'false alarms' about imminent nuclear war, after the United States and former USSR had both signed the treaty banning further testing of nuclear weapons, neither trusted one another. The Americans launched satellites into orbit, thinking that the Soviets might try to secretly continue weapon testing, perhaps on the far side of the moon. Anyway, after these specialised satellites were launched, teams monitored their returned data, looking for signs of Soviet breaches. Eventually, the satellites returned some data that was initially suggestive of a nuclear weapon, but on closer inspection the 'signal' that was recorded did not match the by-then well-known pattern for a nuclear detonation. Furthermore, the single event captured by these satellites was followed by another event, then another, another... Further investigation showed that the pulses that were detected were of high-energy gamma rays. Confusingly, the gamma rays seemed to be originating from all points of the compass, which told astronomers that whatever the source, they must be INCREDIBLY DISTANT as they were NOT originating within our own Milky Way Galaxy! For a while, scientists were flummoxed, almost unable to believe what their instruments were telling them, that the highest energy variety of light in the electromagnetic spectrum i.e. gamma rays, were being produced in enough quantities for us to detect them here on Earth, yet were clearly originating well outside our galaxy. What could possibly generate enough power to do this?! The answer was eventually forthcoming, but not until we had telescopes and computer-control able to respond to gamma ray events fast enough and match them to the origin point in the skies. The gamma rays were coming from the death of enormous stars in far-distant galaxies. These enormous stars had consumed all of their fuel and could no longer provide the enormous force to balance out the equally-crushing force of gravity seeking to crush the star. With gravity suddenly gaining the upper-hand, the star began to implode and due to the sheer size of these particular stars, the crushing never actually ended. The force of crushing was essentially infinite and a black hole was formed. It turns out that while some material and energy does stray within the event horizon of a black hole never to emerge, other material is capable of essentially orbiting the maw of the black hole and being ejected, beam-like from two poles of the black hole. This is what enables the gamma ray pulses to cover such incredible distances - because like a laser, the light energy is being collimated into these beams. It means that whenever Earth is in the line of sight of either of the poles' beams, we'll eventually receive those gamma ray pulses, however many million or billions of years later. (These were the Vela satellites and form part of the overall history of gamma-ray detection)

"That's how low we have set the bar" made me cry a little. What a helpless situation we are in. Please do your part my fellow humans.

"Grazed by the Apocalypse" "Consumed by the Apocalypse" Can't wait for the thrilling conclusion to the Apocalypse trilogy, "The Aftermath of the Apocalypse"

THE GOD HAS UPLOADED

The fact I watched you 8 years ago in middle school is crazy. But the fact you grew while I was away has made me finding you again so much better. Love your stuff, keep it up!

I am frustrated that I am only now coming across this channel. Incredibly compelling, seamlessly crafted video -- creating something that is both beautiful and haunting is an art form. Thank you for your content!

You know shit's real when there's not a single Denmark joke in the video.

I can’t believe that this guy went from rage comics to masterful mini documentaries

This guy right here explained how we are all going to die at one point and there's nothing we can do about it with the most calming tone

I recently found this channel and I'm blown away by the level of production. It can go up against productions from megacorps like Netflix. Absolutely amazing!

Netflix documentaries: who are you? LEMMiNO: i'm you but better

Lots of people booking flights to New Zealand after this video...

Your videos are always so expertly done. I've really been wondering about all of these existential threats so this video was especially interesting.

Incredible work! Even the OST is unbelievable. Checked the notes and got to listen to a few tracks. Don't know how you choose them, but I'm pretty much ready to buy a playlist that you recommend! Regularly listen to your vids over an over. Keep up the amazing work!

When LEMMiNO isn’t posting: RU-vid Winter

Remember when LEMMiNO was Top ten memes? He's come such a long way.

The language of the cosmos has always been so poetic to me.

If I had a penny evertime Lemmino's apocalypse scenarios ended in a planetary winter.

I feel like humanity is the personification of “I’ll figure it out”

Natural disasters: *can't drive humanity to extinction* Humans: _Fine, I'll do it myself_

I am always amazed by how incredible and consistent this videos are, keep doing what you are doing, ive always loved short documentaries, and these are absolutely perfect.

Man, this channel is legitimately one of my favourite channel on this platform. Each and every single video is just 10/10

When the world needed him most, he returned

“Science fiction until it isn’t” bruh...

Yeah I just watched a lot of these again. I’m pretty sure this is my new favorite. It feels like such a great follow up to grazed by the apocalypse, and even artificial intelligence, both were my previous two favs. This is so well done

Your videos are amazing!! Please keep posting and / or inform re other projects you are working on or have released 9n other platforms. Thank you!! 👏 👏 👏 👏

plot twist: this video was sponsored by the new zealand board of tourism

give this man a Netflix documentary series already.

"a gamma ray burst sniping us from across the galaxy" makes it sound like the stars are specifically targetting us 😭

I have crippling ADHD but somehow these videos hold my attention

“That’s how low we’ve set the bar” I felt that.

This guy is the peak of “Quality over Quantity” out of all content creators.

How did this awesome channel go under my radar for so long? These videos do not deserve to be free!

"As such, the most immediate threat to humanity has, for a long time, been, and continues to be... Humanity." That was such a good line

if LEMMINO was a Netflix series, I'll binge it every night.

Imagine getting no scoped by a sun causing 70% of marine life to die

this guy and melodysheep are the goats of youtube documentaries

dude you are SO GOOD at making music for these videos, the videos themselves are really good too but the music is my favorite part of your videos

bro "that's how low we've set the bar" gave me chills

'That's how low we've set the bar' Hits you like a fucking train

The Quality of your videos is absolutely insane keep it up.

Your content is soo Good i really appreciate all your work keep it going bro

These videos are so incredibly well-paced. 30 seconds in I already know I'm gonna be sucked in for no matter how long the video is.

Huge respect for the cameraman who traveled around the universe just to record this.

This man deserves wayyyyy more subscribers, viewers, everything

Your videos are on a different level. Ridiculously brilliant!

Everything: *Can't Kill Humanity* Humanity: *Fine, I'll do it myself*

If you've ever wondered how high production these vids are, look at the references link he posted and then realise he put that all into a script, animated visuals for it, made music for it and edited it all together. These vids take hundreds of hours and he does it for anyone to view for free. From the bottom of my heart thank you for this content, it inspires me to learn and stay motivated.

I'm not skipping ads for you LEMMiNO! Love your content, thank you for profiding us this AMAZING videos for free! I'll be waiting for the next video

This is some of the best editing I have ever seen👏🏾

The person who named “Asteroid 2019 OK” really hated his job I’d bet

Lemino reminds me of kurzgesagt's older more traumatized brother.

second video into your channed and I immediately decide to subscribe, so I scroll down before realizing I already have. Amazing content, I will definetly make it a point to watch all of your videos the moment that they come out.

i've said it before, and i'll say it again. these youtube documentaries are fucking amazing. they're all so well researched, well animated, and the sound design is just *chef's kiss*! you can tell the people are actually interested in what they're talking about, and these entertain me so much more than actual documentaries. these people leave out no important details. i love all of these so much. i've never seen one that i don't like.

The first chapter is basically saying: "Earth is playing a bullet hell game and it's doing great."

Lemmino doesn’t swing very often, but when he does he simply doesn’t miss

Today, I consider Metaverse to be the most likely destruction of our species 🤦🏻‍♂️💀 Jokes aside, thank you for an amazing video with incredible production value 🙏🏼💕

I feel like this video was part of a 2 part series with "Grazed by the Apocalypse" and i keep coming back to these 2 videos again and again and they never seem to stop captivating me

100 references, jesus this guy really is good at what he does

I would like to see this guy cover JFK's assassination...

This is one of the most terrifying videos I’ve ever watched. I loved it

This is one of the best RU-vid videos I’ve watched in a while, definitely an mini cinematic masterpiece 🔥

This channel is truly the definition of quality over quantity

He has arisen, for about 30 minutes every 4 months.

I've never seen a video that made me feel so reassured while talking about total human annihilation

Nice footage bro! Keep it up! You have our sub!

everyone: thank god we are done with 2020 Lemmino: that's just the beginning, here is how humanity could go extinct

This man is the definition of quality over quantity

Truly the best intro I have ever seen in my life literally giving me chills

im so happy i am living the same era that this video was released

This guys content is outrageously well done. Seriously needs his own Netflix show.

One of the most well-made video i ever watched. feel like I'm watching a tv documentaries than just a youtube video.

Bravo! That title sequence was beautiful

Can we appreciate the fact that this man dedicated an entire website for his references?

This is very well made...

Fantastic quality video as always

We can't just ignore how good this music is.

lemmino: nature cant drive us into extinction humanity: fine, i'll do it myself.

This man's videos have more quality than Netflix documentaries

I love how these videos seem so serious then outta nowhere LEMMiNO is like "It's quite unlikely that a gamma ray burst would 360 no scope Earth, but noy impossible"

9:07 Holy Crap the caldera is ENORMOUS

*Everyone:* Thank god 2020 is over. *LEMMiNO:* Here’s a list of things could make 2021 worse than 2020.

Are we absolutely sure we are safe from Godzilla? Just checking

Watching this and Grazed by the apocalypse after watching Oppenheimer hits different

What pisses me off so much is that Lemmino spends months worth of researching, animating, and writing to create these amazing documentaries only to have twitch streamers watch the videos and make the same amount of money he does just by reacting to them.

I like how almost everything ends with a winter.

One thing I love about Lemmino is the lack of dramatization that many (Or even most) normal documentaries are rampant with

this is my all time favorite vid you upload

Anyone else like LEMMiNO videos before even watching because you know it's gonna be amazing?
