Ancient Greece: 3000 years ago. The birth of Christ: just over 2000 years ago The birth of Christianity: just UNDER 2000 years ago (Christ had to grow up, do the carpenter thing, & start preaching before ANYBODY could call themselves Christian, as Christianity is belief in Christ as a divine being). Make it make sense please!!!
@@WickedCheetah Yeah, they seem to forget that Christianity branched off from another whole religion, and tacked on bits of other religions that they stole along the way.
By Jove! That's not as far off as you might like. The Gentile Christians tacked a lot of the characteristics of various Skygods onto their God the Father to the dismay of the Jewish Christians.
Greece wasn’t gay. It was an entirely different concept. Saying greece was gay is like saying they used IPhones and IPads in Star Trek. Similar doesn’t mean the same. The culture and the concept were totally different from what we‘re used to. Yeah there were homosexual relationships but a lot of the times it involved pederastry and in some cases they even were forbidden.
@@The_real_Arovor lmao imagine trying to “um, actually” someone in a queer comment section. In trying to sound intelligent, you’ve only succeeded in making yourself look like a fool, my friend.
Someone had an idea about the sun being orange. If a place had a lot of air pollution, it could make the sky and sun appear more orange. Now days, we have less air pollution, so the sun can appear more white.
... or maybe as a child they only looked at the sun during sunrise or sunset, when it does indeed glow orange (because of pollution and because the light has more atmosphere to cross when it's low in the sky), and that image is what made their memory.
That's what I was thinking! The sun looks orange here when we get a lot of smoke from forest fires, I think these people are just remembering a time when we didn't have as many regulations for air pollution
in middle school i took horseback lessons, so in my art class i drew horses in my free time. i talked to the whole class about horse anatomy, and brought up the myth of backwards knees. *everybody,* including the teacher, said that the backwards knee thing is true, because that's what we all learned since elementary. had to argue to the point of tears to tell them that that's wrong and outdated. pulled up a photo of a horse skeleton to show where to find the patella and the heel, and then everyone finally backed down. it was so infuriating having to be the only one in class with the facts that day.
That's so frustrating! I remember being in first grade and my teacher insisted I was wrong in saying that people were animals. Like, what did she think we are? Fungi? Bacteria?
@@fluuufffffy1514 Nope, same as horses and all four-legged mammals, they have elbows and knees close to the body and the big, easily identifiable bending point is an ankle and carpal joint, not the knee and elbow like for us. Basically we have loooong thighs, shins, arms and forearms, but small metacarpals [the bones between the wrist bones and finger bones], metatarsals [the bones between the tarsals and the toes] and phalanges, but the four-legged mammals have shorter thighs and arms, but long metacarpals and metatarsals [like horse] or long forearms, shins, as well as all hand and foot bones [like elephants]. Look up skeletons of horses or elephants, first labeled, to see which bone is where, and then gifs for in motion animations, it will explain it much better than any text could [and also looks very cool, because anatomy is cool af]
Yeah, it's infuriating. I once watched a fellow college Anatomy student argue with the prof that the class skeleton was female because it had all its ribs. His pastor told him that all men lack a rib because Adam had surgery. Bad theology AND bad Biology. Sigh. Note:The student wouldn't quit. Only time I've ever seen someone removed from a college classroom.
Also by that definition plants, animals hatched from eggs, mushrooms, and micro/macro-organisms that procreate other ways, are all immortal. *edit: ... or were never alive to begin with?
I think the person saying the sun was orange when they were young probably had a factory near their town and was too young to realize it was polluting the air. I bet the factory either shut down or was forced to take on more sustainable practices and the air in that area cleared up.
Actually, pasteurizing just means heating to approximately 80°C - named after Louis Pasteur, who managed to prove that bacteria die off enough to make milk safe at that temperature. If you boil milk, it definitely is pasteurized.
"Ancient Greece wasn't gay" Ancient Greece was so gay that it originated 2 terms for women who are attracted to women. Lesbian and sapphic. And a lesser-used term for men who are attracted to men: achillian. Also, I wonder if the whole "the sun was orange when I was a kid and now it's white" had to do with air pollution? Idk, when I see videos or pictures of locations with a lot of smog, or hell even when we get a lot of smoke here from forest fires it makes the sun look orange. Are these people just remembering a time when air pollution wasn't as controlled?
Google tells me Achillean in this sense only goes back to 1959, but there was another Greek term, Uranian, coined in German (as "Urning") and translated to English in the late 19th century.
Pasteurization is the heating of a liquid to kill off bacteria to make it safe for consumption. The temperature required is below the boiling point of water, so boiling for even a minute will reduce the portion of bacteria still living by a factor of millions of not billions. Also, the "burglarize" definition was from the Oxford dictionary, from Great Britain.
Boiling even for a second *should* clear the requirements of pasteurisation, you only need 15 seconds for the high temperature level of pasteurisation where it's only brought up to 72℃. That said, you need to have the equipment sterilised before you use it so if you for some reason wind up with raw milk you're better off boiling it for longer. Even bringing the milk to a boil is going to affect the taste so you might as well go for safety and boil it longer than needed.
8:42 My best friend growing up moved over here to the US when she was 11 from Canada, and we had this teacher that was stupidly strict about spelling. My friend had a lot of points taken off of an assignment for “misspelling” like three words and was very upset about it. We lived near each other so my dad would pick both of us up after school, and when he saw that she was upset we explained why. My dad told us to hang on a moment and went inside. He came back smiling with a note from the teacher that had a short apology and stating my friend had gotten a 100% on her assignment. Apparently my dad told him off for his ridiculous spelling penalties (this was a religion class) and how cruel it was to punish someone who’d only been living here for three months for not using the American English spelling. Our teacher didn’t even know there was a difference. (He also hated that teacher so it was extra fun for him) 😂
The most intelligent person I ever met (RIP Dad) understood that a person can't know everything, and there will always be something the other knows that you don't. Ask questions, listen and learn.
When a country splits in two, does their former nation's sun also split in two or does one of them get a new sun? If the latter, then who gets the brand new shiny sun (white) and who gets the old tatty sun (orange)? Similarly, if two countries unite to become one, do their suns also unite or do they just keep one of them? If the latter, how do they decide which to keep and what happens to the spare sun - is it discarded, donated to new countries, destroyed? Also, what definition of country are we using to determine who's allowed a sun? Do city states get their own suns? What about micronations? What about disputed territories and unrecognised countries? What about places that aren't independent, like French Guiana (which is legally part of France)? I have so many questions for that person that thinks that human boundaries can determine natural things! 😆
@@hannahk1306 when 2 countries fuse they keep the newest sun on and keep the older as backup so they don't have to rush to change it in a single night when it stops working. When a countries separates they toss a coin to see who keeps the sun and who have to pay for a new one... the French Guiana, Hong Kong, and the countries that belong to the United Kingdom but are too far to use their sun (Australia, New Zealand) have a separated sun, usually an older version, so people don't catch the conspiracy. Alaska has its own sun too, the USA's one couldn't cover Alaska because the Canadian sun blocks it...😂
12:28 __ Not just a PhD in physics, but in climate physics. Here's the easy saying: 1) Weather is "What's it doing outside *_right now?"_* 2) Seasons are the average Weather. 3) Climate is _the average _*_Seasons._* Longer version: 1) Weather is "What's it doing outside *_right now?"_* 2) Seasons are the average Weather throughout the year, _averaged over months._ 3) Climate is how the Seasons behave over centuries, _averaged over _*_DECADES._* Are the Seasons different _now_ compared to how they were 30, 40, or 50 years ago? _Then the climate _*_HAS CHANGED._* I remember a paper that came out in the 1990s when I was in grad school, about the discovery of "An Instantaneous Change" from a glacial-climate [a.k.a. "ice-age"] to an interglacial-climate [a.k.a. "non-ice-age"]. The change was in a little over 100 years, instead of a few thousand. Let me repeat that, louder for the people in the back: *_THE CLIMATE TAKING 100 YEARS TO CHANGE IS CONSIDERED INSTANTANEOUS_* in the normal scale of time. We are seeing changes that take place _in _*_years_* not centuries.
Gen X here! Live in rural England too. Clearly remember the sun being white and telling my primary school teacher about it. Never described it as orange, always yellow. I guess someone took too much acid in the 80s
The color gathering thingies in peoples eyes will vary between person to person, hence why people describe colors differently, and will also change as you age. So yes, the color of the sun could have changed for them. HOWEVER, that doesn't make physics wrong!
This seems mostly to depend on how much air pollution there is in your area. Also we tell small kids not to look at the sun, so the only time they should see it is by accident when it's close to sunset - when the light is passing through the air at a long angle, so it can be affected by more of whatever pollution there is. The more pollution, the redder the sun.
3:10 this genuinely hurts. "Trip" has nothing to do with the prefix "tri-". Like, what is a "p" supposed to be and why are there three of them? Btw, "tri-" comes from Greek.
That dinosaur one reminded me of this person in my class. He was a creationist Protestant, and in REP we were talking about things to do with dinosaurs, which he claimed were fake. When the teacher said "what about the evidence" (can't remember what they cited), the student said "that's not real." And Ancient Greece was very gay, but also largely pedophillic relations. Edit: The guy was also a raging homophobe and transphobe.
@@WhirlyBeepBoops this! Also, "leviathans" which very well could be a whole host of things, but often assumed to be dinosaurs. A lot of the Bible thumpers that I knew were not aware of the fact that the term "Dinosaur" was not coined until the 1800s and therefore would not have been in their Bible unless a newer translation decided to add it.
Claiming the game where you can survive any fall as long as its under a bit of hay, the Assassin and Templars are constantly fighting for the discovery of Pieces of Eden which are basically god magic technology AND you revisit past Assassins via a past life machine is "Striving for historical realism" is wild to me!
I remember someone (either on Tumblr or reddit) posted a story their teacher told of a kid who played a ton of AC2 and was able to successfully lead a tour group through (was it Rome or Italy, I forget) through back alleyways and side streets to the church they were heading to because they played the game and the developers had apparently just made an interactive map. BTW, the group had a tour guide, and the kid stepped in when the tour guide got lost.
@@kaelin_cherise Ahh.... Though even if thats true it doesnt change the many many parts of the game that lead into supernatural and scif elements though. The game might have accurate map structure but doesnt mean that someone is right that they strayed from realism cuz queer people were present in the game
You also forgot to catch that Greece at the time that AC:Odyssey takes place during definitely was *not* Christian. It takes place *before* Christ during the Peloponessian war. It just chronologically doesn't make sense XD
Not to mention Sappho, the lesbian poetess. We literally get the word "sapphic" from her name, and "lesbian" from Lesbos, the island that was her home.
There's no "American accent." There are literally hundreds of accents mative to the US, just as there are many accents in every other English-speaking country.
while this is correct, most american accents share common characteristics, just like most british accents do, so a concept like "italian accent" or "british accent" or "american accent" makes sense in a practical sense. (Just think about how it's easier to tell someone is american by accent if you're european, than let's say idahoan. I personally can recognize an american accent, but can't recognize most subaccents. Except texan, but that one is easier.)
I'd argue they're all American accents, just as there are different accents in England but we generally consider them all English accents. There is also a specific American accent that is frequently used for broadcasts that are intended for a wider or international audience.
@@riccardozanoni2531 lol Oh God, he doesn't know. Have you visited the deep south? Been to any Islands? You can NOT tell an "American" accent. You can tell many American accents. Many share more in common with British, Irish, Spanish, Italian, German, Slavic, etc, and are extremely difficult to place. For an example, consider Gullah. Remember also that Puerto Ricans, Hawaiians, and American Samoans are also "American." This is similar to saying people who speak one of the London accents sound British... just like those from the most isolated Welsh or Scottish community. Er, no. I think you are more thinking of what many consider the "standard" American accent, or midwestern accents, which to most Americans sounds unaccented and flat. Could be? Edited: I do want to note that I recognize that while a Chicago accent is very different from a Floridian, they both sound "American" to non-Americans. I am only pointing out that you can't tell *all* American accents are from the US, as even many from the US don't recognize them unless from there or with some specific experience of them. Here in NY (state), for example, we have whole villages that speak only, or mainly, German or Polish. Their accents do *not* sound "American."
@@SplotPublishing it still doesn't change what i said, the majority of american accents (not including american languages that are not part of american english, in case that was not clear enough) share common traits. Also, as an italian, no your dialects have nothing to do with italian i can assure you. Some americans can speak italian, but they mostly do so with a very recognizable american accent.😉 And considering immigrants' accents as part of american dialects is disingenuous. There's plenty of american immigrants in italy too, but i wouldn't say that italian can sound like american english just because of them lol.
I've got bad news for the dinosaurs didn't exist person who believes women really came from a rib. The word used in that passage was used several times in the old testament texts and it never, ever means rib anywhere else. It means side or half. That passage was intentionally mistranslated to diminish women. The metaphor in that story was supposed to be that an equal, or an other half, was created.
Have I ever been confidently wrong about something? Well, I did confidently claim to be a boy/man for over 30 years just to have the truth (I am a woman) finally realized 1 year ago 😭💕
This is always a fun loophole to me because it means that the ppl saying "whales aren't fish, they are mammals"..... Are technically wrong in the first part. Whales are mammals, mammals are synapsids, who evolved from early reptiles, who evolved from early amphibians, who evolved from lobe finned fish..... Who are a kind of fish..... So yeah, if birds are still counted as dinosaurs, then all tetrapods still count as fish, including whales. Like, whales being mammals is more important than them having fish as oooooold ancestors, but it's still a funny loophole
@@aleksabanjevic8316 I still consider mammals lobe-finned fish as well, but admittedly birds are far, far closer to other coelurosaurs than a whale is to a lungfish.
Yeah, Louis Pasteur's method was to heat liquids until the germs died. Heating it to make it safe is the essence of pasturisation. If you're boiling, you're going beyond pasturisation protocols applied in any country I know of.
Yes..... That is what some genuinely believe.... I know u probably said this as "what a wacky scenario that isn't real". ... But no..... It is genuinely what some people believe....
We had goats growing up and pasteurized the milk you heat it to just shy of boiling to a specific temperature for a length of time needed to kill bacteria. If they believe pasteurizing ruins the milk then fully boiling it would make it worse. Actually boiling does change it that's why to pasteurize you don't heat it to boiling.
The reason the sun looks yellow despite being white is that the sun shines white light, but the short-wavelength photons (blue light) get scattered in the atmosphere, making the sky blue. Since the blue has been scattered, the sun itself looks yellow-ish from the earths surface. If the sun is in the horizon, the more the light from the sun has to travel through the atmosphere to reach your eyes, so more blue light as well as some green light is scattered to the point where the sun appears orange or even red at sunsets.
Literally commented on a post about check vs cheque like 15 minutes ago. "People Incorrectly Correcting Other People" is a fun Facebook group for these things.
The UK just confuses a lot of people... Just yesterday someone posted on the subreddit that the UK isn't a country... they got shut down by pretty much everyone and just started insulting people... It was kinda funny but also sad. The UK confuses a lot of people... sometimes even its own people...
I must admit I also thought the UK was not a country, just a collection of 4 countries. But I checked and supposedly it is a country, but also 4 countries? So yeah, pretty confusing. It's extra confusing because my own country (the Netherlands) is also part of a kingdom consisting of 4 countries, but I don't think I've ever heard anyone refer to our kingdom as a whole as a single country. So now I'm wondering whether our kingdom would be considered a country as well.

@alicebthegachaweirdo8378 I like Bluey as well. I don't know why Gacha feels different. It's just a stigma in my mind since you're basically playing online with mostly 6-10 yr olds, and the game has a history of creepy stuff and weird role-plays.

I'll give my own little confidently incorrect moment I had as a kid! I tend to learn words through reading first before hearing them in sentences, so of course I'd end up making my own pronunciations about them. Most of the time I changed my pronunciation when told the proper pronunciation, but one time I pronounced Hyrule as 'Her-gull'. How I got to that pronunciation, I have NO clue, but I was SO confident that I refused to listen to anybody. It took me watching the Zelda cartoon for me to go "Ohh. Hi-rule. Hyrule." and realize how horribly incorrect I was. I still like to fondly remember going "HERGULL" when talking about Zelda. XD

1:37 There's actually one more facepalm here: Dinosaurs are also reptiles, and many of them were bigger than the _Titanoboa._ Also, while fact-checking, I discovered that actually, the Titanoboa evolved after the dinosaurs died out.
I don’t like calling dinosaurs reptiles, because I think it’s useful to classify birds as “not reptiles” and I’m not sure how to include dinosaurs while excluding birds. I want there to be a different word that encompasses the non-mammalian terrestrial vertebrates.
@@joelpartee594 I mean but there were lots of dinosaurs that didn't resemble birds at all and looked more like snakes, lizards, etc. The scaly skin lots of them had is not something I could ever find myself relating to birds. The dinosaurs that had feathers and/or wings, sure. But the other types, not so much. I'd more so say that there were some dinosaurs that we could classify as reptiles and some others we could classify as birds. Just my opinion.
@@BeautyMonster1000 That's not how classification works, in the phylogenetic perspective dinosaurs and birds are one and the same since both of them have the same ancestor, in the Linnaean system birds are classified as warm blooded vertebrates with feathers, since we know dinosaurs had feathers and were warm blooded, even if they had scales they are still birds

Oh, the woes of a modern age! 18:00 50 years ago, this would have such a great opportunity for Jamie to explain "quarter" by using Pounds, Shillings and Pence... and all the other peculiar peculiarities that used to be the British currency.

i understand the confusion with the clock thing. a quarter past or a half past felt vague and confusing as they were not accurate to what the people would say. i kept saying "use numbers! they are on the clock!"
something i was once confidently incorrect on was "foxes aren't dogs". i only looked at the "vulpes" part of the scientific name and didn't bother reading forward to where it said "canidae". this had to be when i was in, like, my early- to mid-20s (i'm 32 now) and i look back with shame 🤣
I once heard somewhere that foxes were more closely related to cats than dogs. No idea where I came across this information, but at least I was among friends when my "confidently incorrect" moment was shot down in flames... 😂
I suppose it depends on how you define "dog"? Usually when people say "dog" they're specifically referring to Canis Lupus Familiaris, which does not include foxes. But yeah, the much broader clade Canidae can also be referred to as "dogs", so by that definition foxes would indeed be dogs.
10:30 The theory of germs is also still only a theory, and the theory of gravity (objects move when pushed by another force) also is just a theory. Also, in scientific terms, theory means something different than just "we think this because of a few small details we found", the theories in science have a crap ton of evidence, including observable evidence.
About being incorrect: for the longest time i thought reindeers were made up. You know, fantasy creatures like dragons or unicorns. (Probably because of rudolph). But turns out their actual animals in our actual world. Wild! 😂

I want to jump on the Scottish/not British one because as a Scot, I don't think the first one was about geography, because yes, Scotland is geographically part of Britain. It is common in English media to portray famous Scots as 'British' when they are in favour and 'Scottish' when they are out of favour. (Take tennis player Andy Murray for example. British when he is winning. Scottish when he is losing.) Many Scots feel frustrated that our Scottish representation? culture? achievements? seems to be being taken away from us and being claimed as English (as that is usually the default assumption for 'British'), and "They are not British. They're Scottish." is a common objection to someone claiming a famous Scot as 'British'.
The comment about Ancient Greece caused actual pain. Literally inflicted psychic damage. My breath punched out from throat like I had the wind knocked out of me, just before I dropped my head to cradle it in my hands. Ow.

0:57 no, they were speaking "Irish" (or at least a part of them). Scottish Gaelic, together with Manx and Irish, is a Goidelic language and developed out of Old Irish. The Scots then eventually moved over from Ireland towards Scottland (this is why I said that at least a part of them spoke "Irish". The Scots probably, though this is just my guess, mixed with the other people that lived there). Welsh, meanwhile, is a Brittonic language, together with Cornish and Breton. These developed out of Common Brittonic. These two groups are part of the larger Insular Celtic group within the Celtic branche of the Indo-European language family.
I wonder if the "the sun is orange" person grew up in a city or a valley and never left. Because, yeah, in the smog-infested inland Southern California of my childhood, the sunsets were spectacular with a lot of weird reds and oranges. Less so now. But there's also a lot less smog and other particulate matter in the air now than there used to be due to efforts to reduce air pollution. Except during fire season. Then all those nostalgic sunsets with their wild, pollution-infused colors pop right back. Edit: LOL. I commented before the punchline. Oh well.
To be fair to the person talking about Wales: Great Britain is the big island that comprises England, Scotland and Wales. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the sovereign state that governs those three constituent countries. The U.K. is a confusing entity and I recommend the Geography Now RU-vid video on it for an easy explanation. I suspect the person writing that comment was just poorly attempting to make the distinction I just did.

Weather vs climate: the Sahara has a desert climate. It rarely rains but when it does, that's a change in weather. It remains a desert climate. The farmland bordering the Sahara is experiencing more and more droughts, changing their climate from savannah to desert. That's an example of change in climate. Much slower than changing weather.
For a while in my childhood I thought an hour was 40 minutes, because the grownups kept saying "ten minutes, quarter hour" to announce vague short timespans.
The American accent being a true English accent thing is a case of someone just reading the headlines. An American, specifically North Atlantic accent is apparently much closer to what British accents sounded like pre- American revolution, than current British accents.
That's... not really accurate. You need to understand that there never WAS a single "British" accent. There wasn't even one unified English accent. There never has been! While American English is rhotic, a feature that used to be common in many southern English accents that's been lost in a lot of the more common dialects, that's about all it's kept, and it's picked up a bunch of other unique characteristics from ESL speakers and general evolution. If you listen to historical recreations of early American English, it really sounds more like a mix of South East Coastal English mixed with Irish and a touch of maybe Dutch? It doesn’t sound like a modern New York accent any more than it does a modern London accent.
Imo the best indicator of what any English accent "originally" sounded like is how any particular person in Ye Olden Days spelled things bc English didn't have standard spelling rules until like,,,the 1800s. So ppl would just spell things the way they said them.......or if u were a poet/playwright etc u might do a little redecorating of words to make em fit ur story or theme or whatever lol 😅
@@bbo7002 Poems are an interesting thing to look at too. A lot of older poems will have an obvious rhyming scheme that will break down in places, sometimes having things like words that are spelled similarly but don't rhyme in any modern accent. It's a good sign that the pronunciation of one or both of those words has shifted to some extent, whether it's a general change across the language or just a regional pronunciation that died out.
@@wendyheatherwood yes exactly!! It's so cool bc it's almost like blueprints for how ppl spoke and thought, like a record of how English was influenced greatly by other languages at different times, how even our letters have changed in their use if not in their shape! Idk I just find it all really interesting, I love words and etymology bc I'm a nerd lmao 🤣
You’re almost right. There is no such thing as a neutral accent in the English language, as there are dozens of different accents that are constantly changing and evolving. The headline you’re referring to is that the specific southeastern English posh accent often called “Queen’s English” had not developed yet when the Europeans colonized North America, which is why the majority of North American English accents use a rhotic R sound, whereas places that were colonized by Britain later, like Australia, use a non-rhotic R. Again, there is no such thing as a neutral accent in English, it’s just that some people got wind that Shakespeare most likely spoke using a rhotic R and went a little nuts with it.
"I don't drink pastorized milk. I boil it and use it during 24h" Me: THAT IS LITERALLY WHAT PASTORIZING MEANS!! It's literally boiling/heating stuff up to kill microorganisms and make it last longer before it spoils. And if I remember correctly pastorization doesn't need to be at the boiling point, but boiling literally IS pastorizing it. I know I don't know everything. I know I can sometimes quote things I heard somewhere wrong or have old information that needs an update I wasn't aware of. And by god I was also confidently incorrect a lot of times, but I learned to either believe the people who tell me I'm wrong (or what happens everytime I'm confidently incorrect) I simply GOOGLE IT when someone tells me: "ehhhh... No..." even if it's just to shove in their faces I'm right. I also had a lot of "...oh..." moments. But this whole subreddit is just people claiming to have eaten wisdom with a spoon (In german you can say "Die Weisheit mit Löffeln gefressen" and it discribes those people so good. It's also used as a "you are freaking dumb, but think you're the smartest cookie")
I've had someone who was a gay man who apparently dated a lot trans mascs confidently tell me that estrogen will make my voice higher and wouldn't back down despite the answer being a quick Google search
working in forensics one of the first things we covered in my more specialised training was a definition of "death" was, along with "natural" vs "non-natural". We do this because the terminology is incredibly important and different ideas of what "death" is can seriously mess up a case. But yeah, it's a weird thing to think about having a definition outside of that context
I’ve definitely been confidently incorrect a lot when I was little. I think a lot of the confidently incorrect posts on Reddit are probably from children or teenagers who’ve been brought up (by their parents or maybe their school system) to believe they know more than they do, or that they are more intelligent than others or something.
when I was around the age of 5 or 6, I was absolutely sure that there were 3 world wars and nobody could convince me that I was wrong. I wouldn't elaborate. I still don't know why though
