Neil Armstrong did not punch a reporter. _Buzz Aldrin_ punched a psycho that followed him onto private property and was in the middle of yelling "you're a coward, and a liar, and a--" and thats when the 72 y/o absolute legend Buzz Aldrin punched him in the face. Dont take that away from him

As a citizen of Chihuahua, Mexico I would love to clarify two things: 1) We get that confusion/ trolling with the dogs really often and 2) Watching The Click while living in Chihuahua makes you a furry.

"It's the same as 3×3" That...that still doesn't equal 6, so that guys math was doubly wrong

23:57 OH OH OH! Update on Murphy! He eventually was able to adopt a little eaglet that fell out of his nest and needed a new dad. He raised the eaglet who was released back into the wild. Good job, Murphy!

"You would study at gunpoint" Oh i would try, but theres no way thats working.

"Well then being tired isn't real! If you were held at gunpoint, you wouldn't be tired anymore, right?"

Imagine if for April Fools day Click uploads a ConfidentlyIncorrect video, except all the posts are actually completely true and he just gaslights us into thinking they're not.

Fun fact: The first vaccine used cowpox to prevent smallpox. Unfortunately this led to the Anti Vaccination Society and many people believed that the vaccine would give you cow-like characteristics such as udders or horns ( I had a history lesson on this yesterday and I'm very excited to share it 😂)

Proof: You would study at gunpoint Just because you point a gun at me and make me sit for an hour or two in front of books, it doesn't mean I'll actually focus on the study material. All you'd be doing is making my ADHD thoughts gun-themed, ie how much getting shot might hurt, how guns work, the last time I went hunting with my dad, the Winchester House, whether or not I'd want to watch Full Metal Jacket, how to apply a tourniquet...

As someone with ADHD... No, I don't think a gun to my head would actually do anything besides making me even less capable due to the increased anxiety, honestly. It likely wouldn't help here that my adrenaline response isn't "fight" or "flight", it's "freeze".

As someone with ADHD I can confirm that not only is the disorder not real, but I’m not real either. Okay so now that we’ve started this in the comments let me just- I have ADHD and ADD and I’m bi and I’m ace and I’m non-binary and I’m autistic and I have an anxiety disorder.

The wine one cracked me up. My grandparents used to live in an area where a ton of wild trees grew little fruits on them, smaller than cherries. Towards the end of their fruiting season, they would begin to ferment. Wild birds would eat them and drunkenly crash into buildings on a regular basis. Nah, the earth has never produced a single drop of alcohol.

"If it's black a few times, then red is due. That is statistics." No, that's Gambler's Fallacy. Like, literally textbook.

Murphy the bald eagle has a great story. He was incubating a rock, but an eaglet was brought to the zoo after losing his family in a storm. The zookeepers switched him with Murphy's rock. Murphy raised him and he was released back into the wild when he was grown.😊

My uncle Manolo is from Spain. He got stopped when going to the US and interrogated about where in South America he was from. He told them he was from Spain, he had his Spanish passport. ‘Where in South America is Spain?’ Asked the TSA people. He had to ask them to go get a world map because they wouldn’t believe Spain was in Europe. How do you get that job without knowing there are Spanish speaking people in places other than South America?

"No natural alcohol" has never seen wild animals drunk off fermented fruit😂

"Paint didn't exist in ancient times." Not only is that false, of course, but the assertion is moot anyway. The pyramids were originally covered in LIMESTONE. Paint was not needed.

The Chihuahua thing reminds me of that time someone said that 50% of gay people engage in *that kind* of child abuse, but the study they sent me said that 50% of gay people were victims of it as kids, saying nothing about the perpetuation of that abuse. He whined about it until the discord server banned him lmao. Maybe next time he'll bother to read the abstract.

The lady talking about ADHD didn't hear about neurodivigent people who want to do something so bad they convulse inside but they still can't stand up.

The gambling one reminds me of the guy who so confidently tried to tell me that my chances of being trans are 1/1000 and so are my child's, so the chances of us both being trans are 0.000009%. We're both trans. He said it as a way to get me to "reconsider" being trans. Like, dude, we're already trans! That's not how statistics work! Even if his numbers were correct, which they are not.

23:48 IMPORTANT UPDATE: Murphy's determination to incubate rocks was such that the zookeepers gave him an actual egg to help raise alongside a lady eagle named Shannon, and they are now proud parents together! Murphy continues to preen the young eaglet and tend to it as it grows. IMPORTANT UPDATE 2: Despite being disabled and unable to fly, Murphy was able to teach the eaglet, named Rocky, how to fly. Rocky's mom, Shannon, is partially blind and non-releasable, as is Murphy. Rocky, however, was able to be released into the wild to go contribute to eagle conservation efforts. Murphy and Shannon, though they haven't mated, continue to be good friends and spend time with each other frequently, including napping beside each other and sharing meals.

Shaming people in the gym is ridiculous... As a fitness coach, I may see people that look like they're not doing an exercise right, but unless they're doing something really dangerous that may hurt them, I never interfere. Because it's none of my business. Because I don't really know what they're working on, it may be something completely different. Actually, anyone who shames people like this is very unprofessional and has no business critiquing others.

My boyrfriend sent me one of those "I'm just asking questions" conspiracy things, where the guy said "The ISS has been orbiting for 20 years, there have been around 100 eclipses over that time, so why haven't they taken any photos of an eclipse from the ISS? Really makes you think..." the other day. As an avid Kerbal Space Program fan I was like "ooo I know this one!" and started talking about how the inclination of the ISS's orbit and the Moons orbit are completely different, so the chances of the ISS crossing the path of an active eclipse isn't actually that great, and that the speed of the ISS would give them about a 30 second window before passing out of the shadow of the eclipse, I ended with "But to answer their key question, here's a link to a photo of an eclipse taken from on board the ISS last October."

aDhD iSnT rEaL "Proof, YOU WOULD STUDY AT GUNPOINT" My ADHD ass: Oh thank god you're gonna shoot me. For a second there I thought I might actually have to study

40:40 "The dice don't know what the dice did last time. Every game starts from scratch." -Donna Noble, Doctor Who

23:52 fun fact about Murphy, later on that year a bald eagle nest fell out of a tree, and by miracle one of the eggs survived. They brought them back to the zoo and gave Murphy his chance at father hood, which he succeeded at greatly. A couple years later the chick was released into the wild, and it was given the name rocky

I have ADD and my dad said "If your apartment building was on fire you'd get out of there real quick". The fact I had to think about it should tell you everything you need to know. Sure, if I have a plane to catch or some other extremely important thing that has severe consequences if I miss it I'll usually make it in time. But it's extremely exhausting and it doesn't extend to every day situations. It would be impractical to set my apartment on fire every day to get out of the house, for instance.

The ADHD one reminds me of "we're all a little Autistic" and "depression is just being sad". Wow, almost like whether something is classified as a disorder is majorly dependent on if it inhibits your daily life and people can share traits but not qualify for diagnosis because their symptoms are manageable(which doesn't discard that you can still use advice and strategies designed for people with the diagnosis, no matter whether you have it, don't, or aren't sure!). We really need to start specifying what is meant by "normal" when so many diagnostic criteria are "experieces this thing more/less than normal"

"With sticks!" -- The ancient Greeks figured out the Earth was round because the Earth's shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse is always round, and the only shape that casts a round shadow from all angles is a globe. Eratosthenes's experiment with the sticks measured the radius of the Earth, and he was within a few percent.

as an adhd'er, if someone held a gun to my head and said "study or i'll shoot you", i would stare at a book and cry.

I gave my 9-year-old brother the "sawing the board" question, and he answered correctly on the first try. How can adults, let alone a teacher, get it wrong? And act so confident on top of that?

The Korean one was so hilarious. The realization and him going "we're SCUMBAGS!"

I think that flat earther gave the game away when he said "they want us to believe we are on a ball with little purpose". Because, looking at a lot of them, it all comes down to a fear of insignificance. If it was literally random chance that human life came to be-- luck of chemicals and energy forming life on this planet, that means theres no greater plan, there's no inherent meaning to it all, and thats terrifying to them. They need to believe an extrenal force gave them significance and worth, instead of finding it in their own lives, even if its scary.

The one about Chihuahua… I’m reminded of during the 2020 US election where they claimed that the state of Georgia had more votes than their population… and showed the population of the country of Georgia.

A cool thing about bismuth: it’s a metal. It naturally curls. You can melt it but when it dries and if it isn’t in a mold, it will naturally go back to its curly form

Fun fact about bismuth: they are diamagnetic, which means they repel each other in the same way magnets do. You could theoretically use this by placing two flat circles of bismuth perfectly on top of each other, making the top one float!

As someone with ADHD, I can confirm that we don’t exist, we are just a figment of your imagination

Oh man, it was like a question I got when applying for Securitas security company. The question was "Have you ever had a problem with teenage theft". I said yes. The hiring manager wouldn't hire me, because he said me saying yes to that meant I was a thief when I was a teenager. I said no, me saying yes to that means that I've been a security guard for 5 years and have had a problem with teenagers stealing from the stores I was guarding.

24:00 Murphys story is kind of wholesome. he has broken wing so he cant fly and is the reason why he is kept there, and at some point he started to incubate a "egg" that turned out to be a rock. after some time he go to rise a orphan eagle as his own that he raised successfully :)

As someone with ADHD 32:42 , I would still have a hard time studying even with a gun to my head unless it's formatted right or a good topic.

Without getting into anything scientific, a major problem with flat earth is that EVERY single government worldwide would have to agree to keep this secret

Whenever I feel dumb, I always remind myself that there is a country in which the 1/3 pound burger failed because people thought it'd be smaller than the 1/4 pound burger. You'll never guess what country that was.

Scientifically speaking, if the earth WAS flat, there would be no sun/moon, no gravity, and everything would be pulled to the middle, unable to move. Even if you somehow did reach the edge, you wouldn’t fall down, you would fall sideways.

There’s this great bit in Futurama where the professor is arguing with this ape guy who says evolution is a myth. The professor keeps naming different ancestors and the ape guy keeps saying “well where is the link between those ones?” The fast forward until they have like 30 connections and when he can’t answer one he goes “you see you can’t prove it!” Unfortunately it feels like some people actually think like this. It doesn’t matter how many connections you have. If you are missing one then it’s all just guess work and you can’t prove anything.

If ADHD isn't real then my primary doctor, my therapist, group home supervisor, and the university research panel that diagnosed me have a LOT of explaining to do.

The goofy post about Chihuahua's killing children actually made me look up how often children are killed by small dogs, I couldn't find anything. I don't think it's completely impossible for a smaller dog to kill someone though, a bad bite can easily get infected no matter how big the dog it came from.

"THEY FIGURED THIS OUT THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO! WITH *STICKS* !" Love u Clicky

I love the tangent of just going through his rock collection. ADHD goals.

Fun fact! Murphy is now a foster dad!!! He's the proud parent of an abandoned eaglet!

honestly if the earth was flat disney would've built a theme park to the edge already with the tagline "jump off the edge of the world!" like in the fifties

The real ADHD was the friends we imagined along the way

23:02 We have returned to the moon! Armstrong/Aldrin weren't the only two to walk on the moon. Conrad/Bean Shepherd/Mitchell Scott/Irwin - 1st time Lunar Rover vehicle driven on the moon Young/Duke Cernan/Schmitt - 3 days and 3 moonwalks. 12 people landed and walked on the surface (some even drove), 6 stayed in orbit while they did it in the command module.

Lol the people who don't think paint existed in ancient times literally forgot about cave _paintings_

Sorry slight rant: As someone who is pretty allergic to milk I have run into MANY people surprised I can eat eggs and I have explained MORE times than I would like to say that eggs are in fact NOT dairy. "But they both come from an animal" they say which I reply "so does meat but at least you know THATS not dairy" And yes I know that when someone is allergic to one more than likely they are allergic to the other but COME ON why would eggs be considered dairy in any sense of the word?

Hey click, I'm sorry but you were confidently incorrect about the viking sunstone, that is selenite, it is effectively natural fiberoptics, so it does have an optical quality, however what you need for a viking Sunstone is optical grade calcite, the optical quality it has is called birefringence, this allows it to split light into 2 rays instead of 1, you look through it at the sky and its partially covered to form a slit of light, when the stone is properly oriented toward the source of light (even behind clouds or under the horizon) the 2 slits you see will be the same brightness.

Love the comment about how showing your working helps show where you get muddled in maths - teachers could never understand why my working would be correct, but somewhere a would become a 9, or a 4 would become a 7 and my answer would be wrong. We're pretty sure I have dyscalculia (along with ADHD not diagnosed until I was in my 30s), because I struggle if asked a question out loud to remember that 4+7 and 7+4 are the same sum. None of my teachers noticed or considered that I could really be struggling with maths, and especially mental arithmetic, because I went to a school you needed to pass an exam to get into. So instead, I got put in what one teacher referred to as "the thicky set" for maths, where my teacher would routinely yell at me for "not trying". When in chemistry, we got to the quantitative stuff, and I told my teacher my homework was late because I was struggling with the numbers and wanted to get it right, she slammed her hand into the wall next to me and roared "well you must be stupid then!" It's been fun, getting my diagnosis of ADHD and realising that every single time I was made to feel like my inability to do something was a moral failure, it was ingraining deep self-hatred and maladaptive coping mechanisms that it's going to take me decades to unlearn.

It'd be even funnier to imagine that the person that said "South Africa ain't a country that's a direction" happens to live in South Carolina.

16:15 Hebrew speaker here- the pronounciation of NASA in hebrew has several meanings, but NONE of them are to lie / decieve. It is the past tense of to Drive, Carry, Bring with and to flee (for female subjects)...

If you look more into Murphy's story it turns cute. A baby eagle got rejected by it's parents so Murphy was allowed to adopt it. Since he was already trying to have a kid the zoo keepers decided to let him adopt

*Monkey blood part:* Here is a quote from Wikipedia from the "Rh blood group system" article ("History" section): The term "Rh" was originally an abbreviation of "Rhesus factor". It was discovered in 1939 by Karl Landsteiner and Alexander S. Wiener, who, at the time, believed it to be a similar antigen found in rhesus macaque red blood cells. It was subsequently discovered that the human factor is not identical to the rhesus monkey factor, but by then, "Rhesus Group" and like terms were already in widespread, worldwide use.

22:12 completely missed that this person not only thinks 3^3 is the same as 3x3, but also thinks that 3x3=6

That guy talking about how alcohol is a man made thing is even more wrong lol. Alcohol exists in nature, i watched a documentary on elephants and they were following this herd that migrates to a body of water every year (or few years, cant remember which) and they talked about how on the way they'd stop at these fruit trees and would purposefully eat the fruit that had fallen and fermented on the ground instead of just picking good and ripe fruit from the trees. They also showed other animals that also migrated there doing this too, it was funny watching them kinda stumbling around 🤣 So yes, animals also enjoy getting drunk just as much as humans! (This doesnt mean that you should give your pets alcohol though. If you do, you need to make sure its something safe for them to consume and only give them a TINY bit, even if theyre big like a mastiff or something)

People with ADHD can study, its about how the brain focuses on and retains whats being studied. Nobody's saying they foam at the mouth and black out if they crack a text book

Yeah, 8:20 gave me the same feelings as when I'm playing a Bethesda game and instead of just neatly falling over, the enemy I've just killed catapults up into the atmosphere while writhing wildly, never to be seen again. I was ALMOST very mad at the racism, but then it was all instantly overwritten with a Niagara Falls worth of Utter Confusion. AND THE GAMBLING ONE. Oh god. There's a phrase I saw in a book once that's stuck with me ever since; 'The dice have no memory'. I urge people thinking about gambling to also remember this phrase.

> "3³=6" > "It's the same as 3x3" Who's gonna tell them 3x3 isn't 6 either?

As someone who lives in South Africa, and has ADHD and autism, South Africa is a country and ADHD and autism are, in fact separate things

ADHD isnt real? Alright then. *Fades out of existence*

"Nature has never made a single drop of alcohol." Fun fact: Cedar waxwings like a good spoiled juniper bush -- all-natural gin. Elephants prefer spoiled grain -- beer. Alcohol predates humanity.

22:52 As a space nerd I am internally and externally screaming. 1 It’s being commercialised *as we SPEAK!* 2 We are quite literally going back *NEXT YEAR!*

'Giant fans to cool down Earth' might be the most adorable way to be wrong about climate change issues

18:04 This is the argument I used against a "we didn't go to the moon" conspiracy theoriest. I told him put all the science aside, how many people would have to agree to cooperate to pull that kind of thing into effect. People agross different classes, countries, political leanings, religions, so on and so forth. All these people would not only have to agree to it but then successfully pull it off. He chose to ignore that argument and instead insult my intelligence and bring up how well he understood the science. I still get pissed off just thinking of him and/or that conversation.

Oh that wonderful combination when your ADHD and your old friend depression are both having a sleepover in your head and not even a pewpew to your head could convince you to get out of bed to study (or clean, or eat). Good times 😐

my brother has ADHD, i can confirm that he started dramatically fading away after i read the title of this video

28:58 As a South African I am in physical pain from being reduced to a "direction".

24:02 that's kinda sad, because some of Australia's most recognizable birds, cassowaries and emus, both have the dad exclusively taking care of the eggs and chicks. The mother's job is done after laying the eggs. So they don't even know about the animals on their own continent. Also that bird sanctuary with the eagle is in America.

I also thought insects weren't animals. When I was 4. Then my dad asked me "then what are they? plants? rocks?" and I realized these flying, crawling things that are clearly alive must also count as animals. Would love to know what the person at 30:05 thinks they are.

The thing about the roulette table is called probablity/randomness bias. When digital playlists first introduced shuffle/random options, people complained when the 2 consecutive songs were played in order because they thought it couldn't be random. So the shuffle feature was changed so this can't happen, thus making it less random to feel more random.

Click: "Let me show you rock collection when you can't escape" Me (who loves rocks): I wasn't going anywhere!

"To believe water can curve, simple case of being deceived." *water drops on flat surfaces* Am I a joke to you? Even if the earth was flat, the water would still curve slightly because of surface tension! Pour water in a clear container an look how it curves on the container walls! Trust me, I'm a whale biologist! (always wanted to say that) The joke is that the statement has no correlation with the previously spoken facts, but I said it with such confidence that you almost believed I'm a whale biologist!

21:30 - To be clear this is _only_ gmail, they did this to be user-friendly and it just causes confusion for most people. Other email providers don't do this, the dots do make different email addresses.

I don't know if the person at 24:30 is Korean, but if he is, that's way too common. Every country tries to whitewash their legacy by skimming through certain parts of history. We're often taught how additional territories simply "became" part of the territory, without discussing how that happened. And if this seems like a typically American problem, it's because you haven't questioned the history of your own country. This shouldn't be seen as something natural and inevitable; it should be fought against.

Not only is the claim based on a scam but the person who did the study lied about the followup, lied about what some of the Parents had said about when and where they started having issues and to 'prove' his point he tortured children. There is an INCREDIBLE video from hbomberguy that I can't recommend enough on this.

One night on Xitter (pronounced "shitter"), a guy didn't the better part of an hour trying to convince me that bats weren't mammals, they were birds. Because they fly. Only birds fly. Mammals can only walk. Finally i told him "okay, you win ", because the stupidity was hurting my brain. He didn't just double down, he gogolplexed down.

36:45 As someone with a math degree... I am so pleased to see Click or anyone explain this basic concept so clearly and well! Bravo!

I'm not a gym person, but I love seeing Joey Swole get on and just decimate ignorant individuals with pure facts. His delivery is so smooth and confident even as he dishes out those burns.

39:42 If you stand directly on the equator, your compass explodes

Pretty sure the viking stone is a Selenite. Fun fact: if you have a thin enough slice, it magnifies. - Last one is Pyrite! Aka, "fool's gold". It fooled a lot of gold miners

With the whole Gambling = buying a used car that was in a wreck analogy, the person who used the analogy has a point, but it would probably be *more* likely to crash, not because of the person driving, but because minor damage that didn't need to be repaired at the time of the accident getting worse and potentially leading to bad consequences if left unchecked by the new owner.

I love Donna Noble's quote about how "the dice don't know what the dice did last time." It feels particularly relevant to that stats lesson

The best thing about the American bald eagle with the rock nest is that the zoo got a baby American bald eagle that had lost it's parents but needed an adult eagle to care for it to survive and gave the male American bald eagle a chance at being a dad and put his nest with the baby in a separate enclosure, the video of him meeting his baby is so cute. He has been raising the baby eagle beautiful and is a very proud dad ❤️ it is truly amazing

"Let me show you my rock collection" - YES!!!! I've been training my whole life for this.

35:30 This actually happened to me today. Someone was trying to get really into a discussion about the topic and insulted me and said that I was afraid of change. I started to get angry and was trying to type a response, but no matter how I worded it, I couldn't send it because I kept thinking, "Wait a minute. Am I really getting into a fight over a random person over the friggin' Buzz Lightyear cartoon? I need a break."

4:00 No, they are correct, the state of Chihuahua is on top of a giant little puppy and lots of people die when it rolls over to get tummy rubs. Source: Me, a mexican from a state built on top of a freshly-bought lion.

43:50 Jesus did not only turn water into wine. He turned A LOT of water into A LOT of really good wine for a party. After people had already drunk all the wine that was there before (so we can assume some people were already quite intoxicated)

1:20 its like the question of 'if an orchestra of 30 takes 45 minutes to finish a symphony how long would it take to finish it for 60?' the same amount cause that's not how that works...

Love the idea that not only was the moon landing faked, but that it was faked in the late 1950s and then just sat around for a decade before being aired. Sure, no human had even been into space yet, but why not get a moon landing film out of the way early?

I clicked this video. So did you. He is the click.

16:25 " Why did Neil Armstrong punch the man who asked if the Moon landing was fake? It was Buzz Aldrin, not Neil Armstrong that punched the man named Bart Sibrel. Sibrel had lured Buzz to a meeting under false pretenses."

"It is scientifically impossible to cross the ocean" Stop the planet, I want to get off.
