the day jack stops talking about ketchup and nutella sandwiches is the day i can finally go to heaven

Bee: *is born* Queen: CLEAN YOUR GODDAMN ROOM

When Jack said "if you're actually watching this video and not just folding laundry in the other room--" I was literally listening to the video with my phone in my pocket as I folded laundry at my job lmao

The companies have made it impossible to boycott most of them, it's time for the people to take action

11:53 while some of these are true, the baby on board is not one to give up. It let's rescuers know to look for a baby or child seat that may be hidden in a wreak. You do not want them to stop looking.

16:15 For people with anxiety: keep in mind that this doesnt always work. It helps to bring you back to reality, but remember; anxiety works differently for EVERYONE and anxiety never works logically. This does usually help calm you down, but it depends on how your anxiety works and how severe the attack is. Every coping mechanism works differently for everyone; it takes trial and error to figure out which works best for you. I found it often also helps to find out the trigger (if there is one; sometimes there isnt, since again, anxiety does not work logically). I once had an anxiety/panic attack because of a teacher of mine and doing this didn't help calm me down. Like I said, it depends on the severity. Hyperventilating often makes it worse as well and can make you light headed, so try to control your breathing as well as you can (it's okay if it's not perfect; it's hard to control anything in that situation, especially if you're hyperventilating.) -A teen with 2 anxiety disorders

The "How to be Careful" guide would have been really helpful for me as a kid. The only concept I had of being careful is literally tiptoeing everywhere.

Damn this wildfire smoke is turning up breathing difficulty. Gotta love Maryland! Jack is making it slightly better. Thanks man

Emkay; capable of pronouncing absolute word salads and keyboard smashes without flinching once but terrified of saying words in other languages.

10:37 fun fact! that diagram with the peak at the start and then a big drop is not what the dunning kruger effect actually looks like, people who know more tend to actually be more confident - however, they underevaluate their skill as opposed to those who are unaware and overevaluate their skills

All jokes aside, some of these are really useful!

9999/10 narration by Jack, as always.

14:33 the “help your child foster awareness and problem-solve” guide is exactly how i run d&d games. i guess d&d players really are just children at heart

That first post made me go on a research rampage and I remembered bee workers are all female, not all male. And male bees are called "drones". Fascinating creatures. But how many days they live probably depend on the species of bee, I think honey bees could survive for 6 months in the nest when hibernating, and queens live for years. Edit: Why didn't I know mountain goats aren't actually goats???

That feel when you had no idea something was nestle but your experience with the product was 'this is awful, I'm never using it again', and you actually do boycott all of nestle

21:56 Asia DOES have their own characters, so it would make sense for them to have their own form of tally markipliers

13:45 if the chart maker is going to make fun of the Imperial system they should at least know why the measurements are the way they are before making the chart. For example, they put a question mark next to Fahrenheit because they can't comprehend the fact that a measurement system not based around measuring water isn't ideal for measuring water. It is instead based around how it feels outside in a sort of percentage based system.

0:21 - 0:25 *"AKA be the oldest sibling in a family where the parents didn't really learn about birth control."* **spits coffee across the room** 😂

15:11 OK. I see how it is. As a lifelong Texas resident with experience in all types of schools, (public, private, home, etc.) I’d like to say that this is at best 60-70% true. I went to college in Arkansas, and we went to school the day after a blizzard that covered the area in 2.5 ft of snow. I shoveled walkways myself.

Calling m&ms "slim shadies" has to be about the coolest move I've ever seen.

For the school snow cancellation thing: in the south if there is snow there is ice. And near the Appalachians we have mountain roads without guard rails. So to make sure we don’t sporadically lose students and drivers off cliff faces, we just cancel it. My own bus route went along a cliff face above a lake and the rail was wooden. I wasn’t even that high in the mountains

3:11 please tell me that I'm not the only one who thought of a one piece character laughing. "Fe-rororororororo!"

as an animal lover, I died inside when he said "plummidge" instead of "ploomidge" (for plumage on bald eagle)

11:20 American units are all from when things had to be made by hand, which is why with the exception of miles all the prime factors of the conversion units are 2s and 3s. This also goes for temperature which goes from freezing salt water at 0 to freezing fresh water at 2^5 (32).

As a person with arachnophobia, I have decided that I want a opossum.

“Mountain goat: not a goat” Im calling cap

"Australia number 1 don't ask us about our detention centres" Dayum was NOT expecting Australia to get roasted that hard before bushfire season.

21:55 certain... offshoots of anime have unfortunately taught me about this Asian tallying system... and not for a good educational reason...

I suppose the "baby on board" sticker, and sign maybe used to tell other drivers, but I am pretty sure it is more for EMT's Incase of an accident, a baby will take priority in most cases.

0:20 "aka *BEE* the oldest sibling" nice one jack

11:50 the “Baby on board” sticker is there to alert emergency services there may be a small child to find after an accident, @EmKay

11:55 Baby on Board signs aren't for other drivers. They're for first responders. The sign tells emergency services that there is a baby hidden in that crumpled up pile of aluminum that used to be a car, so they know to crack it open with the jaws of life even if the driver is unable to speak. Also, I'm pretty sure the Dunning-Kruger affect states that people who are truely knowlegable are less likely to make ignorant assertions, because they know enough to recognize gaps in knowlege. It's not claiming experts are dumb.

8:42 Ohhhh….yes it is, Jack. The supposed purpose of gerrymandering is to account for the demographic of a particular area. In reality, it’s used to segregate the population by vote, and oftentimes, by race (even though that SHOULD be illegal. Also, both parties are guilty of this.)

23:55 if you plant native plants then they'll ideally not need much maintenance since they're adapted to the environment they're living in! while going lawnless is a lot of cost and manual labor to start, they can be self-sufficient pretty much indefinitely once it's established, while also providing a haven for local wildlife and dismantling an outdated and useless relic of colonization! the hardest part is just getting rid of the grass and keeping it gone, and native plants may be more expensive or harder to find than your typical garden fillers. once the reddit blackout is over i highly recommend r/nolawns and r/fucklawns for more info

9:50 I am in almost every single poverty box :(

Jack is out here calling me out for doing other stuff while playing this in the background😭

7:53 my dog, who got into multiple fights with (and were initiated by) a giant possum:

the 24:00 (ish) remark is really interesting to me because if anything the lawn is much higher maintenance than a proper garden is! lawns take so much time to maintain, cost you so much more in water, are easier by far to make look bad, and give you the least reward for your efforts. gardens are scary to start and quite ambitious when you first plant but once it's well established you'll find the maintenance isn't nearly as bad as you think! the life lesson here is that there is nothing good about lawns and the only thing that should stop you from growing a mini forest in your backyard if you have one is the homeowners' associations ruining everyone's fun

The only part of the imperial system I get is Fahrenheit because it's about how warm or cold it feels rather than the temperature at which water freezes/vaporizes, 0ºF is the coldest day you could imagine and 100ºF is the hottest day you can imagine, with celsius you don't get that immediate feedback on the temperature outside, like, you see 24ºC but you think "Huh, really? Today feels kinda like 30-ish" even after growing accostumed to celsius and learning to use it my whole life

16:59 if you want to help someone ELSE out of a panic attack there is a singular method: ask/say the most OUTRAGIOUSLY STUPID THING you can think of. the idea is to to ask/say something so stupid it causes the others person brain to soft reboot to find a possible answer/response for it

11:25 the reason I've heard, and dont quote me because idk if it's true, is that when sailors from Europe were delivering the meter stick to america the ship was taken over by pirates so the american government was never able to recive and patent it. Again idk

The Dunning Kruger Effect's "I know everything" section is actually *formally* known as "The Peak of Mount Stupid"

In defence of Fahrenheit: the zero point was when a specific salt-water solution freezes. I believe Celsius was the classic example of building on what coma before. In that case they made the scale go from 1 to 100: instead of marking the scale first, then measuring secondary reference temperatures.

This is the kind of stuff I love to look at, I'd love another one of these in the future! Thanks Emkay and Jack!

Oof.. that ended very suddenly..... and considering the last thing Jack said, I'm fearful for his well-being!!

15:02 I live in Georgia, and yeah, getting any snow at all is a big deal. And that’s just because summers here are 90°F on average, and though winters here are really cold too, it’s JUST cold enough to be frustrating yet JUST warm enough to not snow, being the worst of both worlds. And snow is ALWAYS either too late or too early for Christmas, and only once a year. It’s like the weather is trying to be difficult for fun.

Yes. I'd like to know EVERYTHING.

9:40 The thing about the different perspectives of time between social classes, is that it is a matter of focus: - Poor people focus on the moment because they lack a stable economic safety net, and have little surplus money for luxuries. - Middle class income people focus on the future because they have a generally have enough stability to not have to panic about what they will be eating tomorrow, as long as they have a decent job. - Wealthy people have a secure economic safety net and a sizeable money surplus for luxuries, so they focus more on reputation and heritage

5:55; what it's like bringing up God around an atheist

5:45 it's none of the above, evil exists to teach us things like empathy and compassion and allow us the chance to grow as Spiritual Beings.

Grounding with senses is only a good system for neurotypical people. Its actually very common to make it worse and start up and overload for others. Id recommend focusing on small things like your hands and move then a around a bit.

that whistle guide is actually useful - I started to make a small amount of sound right when my hands began to hurt from trying to figure out how to hold them.

I have a sneaking feeling Jack wants to push his sister off of an isthmus...

11:20 the units of measurement were being transported to America when the ship was raided by pirates.

4:04 I can safely say that I don't buy any of these companies products unless the child companies own the companies I buy stuff from

15:08 it’s kinda sad that Minnesota gets school off, or at least a late start, nearly everyday in the 3-4 peak weeks of winter

17:28 yes, Jack. There are beds larger than the California king. For example, I have this Wyoming king bed all for myself

18:53 gotta love that you immediately grab onto the relatively minimal damage to the environment like a billion dollar corporation, and neglect to mention the toxic fumes that might kill the human, like a trillion dollar corporation.

wheres the music

17:18 opossums are NOT immune to rabies. They are just far less likely to contract it compared to other animals due to their internal body temperature.

4:04 heck ya almost none of these exist in brazil and the ones that do like kit kat have an alternative that is even better like bis (Bis is a coin sized kitkat but it comes on a box with maybe 20 of them and the price is equal to 2 kitkats so its cheaper and better) also there is the bis max version which is the normal size of an kitkat but the chocolate layer has 1.5 times the size and costs less then an kitkay

The reason America has it around the imperial system is because of Britain and by the time we were given the notice we had completely built our infrastructure around the imperial system

Well back in the 70s the united states passed the metric conversion act and created a special administrative board to control the transition for school curriculums, Road signs, and Gasoline infrastructure among other things. The board had little real power but could examine facts and determine the best course of action. It's important to note that the conversion program was stipulated as voluntary in the act and there are some industries that did transition to the metric system though they tend to be internationally geared industries like trade and the sciences and manu consumer goods have both netric and standard measures on them. In the end the metric board was disbanded in 1981 after being largely ineffective. I am by no means an expert in this particular aspect of US history. I imagine that the problem came in trying to convince the states, congress cant really force the states to comply without abusing 2 specific clauses in the constitution and if the metric board was being unproductive then it makes sense for it to be dissolved.

As a professional interior designer i need you to know much i appreciated "Lighting can change the mood of fhe room to warm and cozy, to HOSPITAL."

3:08 A what rocher? °_° (This account's name is ferro)

24:00 not mowing the lawn is the best thing you can do 😂

Paused at 3:03, read the descriptions for Ferrero Rocher, KitKat, M&M's and Skittles. Unpaused and Jack reads those same four.

"cus, cis-c-c- cus- crusty monk!" Best quote by jack so far

15:22 This one isn’t really….titled correctly. It’s geological formations near/in the sea and their names, represebted by sand and colored water.

Baby on board stickers aren’t just so you drive safer around them. It’s also for first responders who go to a a car crash it tells them to check for a baby

3:10 why did he start speaking in tongue? 😂😂

"Oh I can't be bothered reading this" What are they paying you for

I know how to whistle without fingers, I rarely do it though because it's too loud.

24:41 I think crows would be OP if they had the same lifespan as ravens, the pair travel vs group travel is a huge difference. I’m no bird main, I’m more into featherless bipeds like a lot of the fanbase, but if I had to guess I’d say a crow can afford to have more of its members die, as opposed to ravens, which don’t have members, only a best bud.

I am downright suprised that i am not using any of Nestle's "offbrand" stuff. Well unless they have more than what is listed there.

“Am I designing by zero in the interior design world?”. That made me laugh, lol.

20:02 I see nothing different about these rooms except that the walls are different colors. I assume they're supposed to look bigger or smaller or something based on the combinations of color, but it's not working at all.

WHY CANT I WHISTLE, NOTHING WORKS, EVERYONE CAN WHISTLE EXCEPT ME

2:29 fish are food AND friends.

I've given up trying to boycott Nestle, they have their nasty fingers in everything I know I should keep trying, but I just can't, it's just too hard to find non-nestle replacements for things

5:04 ah yes… this is why I am atheist.

at 15:08 with the snow cancellation map, it doesn't take in account for long bus routes that can't be done in even 4 inches of snow, so a county might get a lot of snow and show up high on this list, but school would get cancelled after only 4 inches of snow due to slippery roads.

The King Cobra isn't a cobra because, and i'm not making this up, because they eat other snakes. Imagine eating an orangitan and now you are not a human.

8:04 I love how “well done” is regarded as a burnt offering

I thought at first this was r/coolamericafacts and was wondering why the memes had no second part asking us to google something.

Wow, I’ve just had my 10-15 year reminder that bees are not beings of longevity

So when she said "Be careful because you'll stay with the job that you pick for the rest of your life." in the bee movie she was lying?

As an Aussie I must agree. Keep the detention centres out of our conversations.

3:29 it took me a second to understand what he’s just said

23:24 the Pythagorean theorem wasn't discovered by Pythagoras in 530 BC. There's a babylonian clay tablet from 1800 BC (called Plimpton 322) with Pythagorean triples (integers a, b, and c satisfying a²+b²=c²)

Video 12 of asking all narrators, Slazo and Kenny to narrate in one single video

13:53 how to not get killed when protesting

Ah yes, the subreddit for people like me

Jan Misali has a great video on why imperial units are the way they are. It’s titled “a defense of the imperial measurement system”

24:50 HEY WHERE IS VIETNAM WHY DO WE GET IGNORED Oh I forgot we are boring

16:10 ok this actually works and i do it pretty often. One time I was having trouble breathing when I was at someone else’s house so i went into the bathroom to calm down because I assumed I was having a panic attack. I tried to ground myself in reality but reality wasn’t staying consistent. I also realized that it felt like there was something on my neck but i wasn’t wearing anything around my neck that would cause that. I then tried feeling beyond my reality (idk how to explain it) and that’s how I realized that I was dreaming. I left that bathroom and walked out the front door to wake up. It turned out that my weighted blanket was skrunched up ontop of my neck.

11:15 now that graphic is just dumb. the triangle day month year is completely arbitrary. that one can be redrawn to favor american month day year, or even japanese year month day. that one's just biased

“knoight takes rauwk, eoww” absolutely SENT me

5:27 God test us to prove to everyone else that you have faith on God, He already knows, but everyone else Don't.

This played immediatly after a PM Seymour Tumblshitpost vid that ended on a half finished bee joke and now I'm thinking the Matrix is real.
