6:32 The *average* age a first period happens is 12, but it happens much earlier for MANY. Considering how uncomfortable/uneducated so many parents are, if this goes through, there are going to be so many confused little 8yo s bawling their eyes out, thinking they’re dying while experiencing painful cramps and gushing blood... My heart breaks for them. I wasn’t given the talk, but at least I was given a book. That’s more than a lot of kids get. I gave my daughters all necessary info when they were young; I’ve gone into it more throughly as they got older. The floor has been open to *any and all* questions since then. I said I wouldn’t get mad, and I never have. They’re 15 & 16, and I’m proud to say they’re incredibly open, honest and responsible. Poor/irresponsible sex ed (including bs “abstinence only”) results in outbreaks of STDs and makes teen/unplanned pregnancies more common. I don’t want my daughters to become statistics like I did with them.

If I had a dollar for every time a right winger used the word communism correctly, I'd be in debt.

Target of my ire is the correct term. Regarding Star Wars... Wars are, by their very nature, Political. To have a War film which doesn't have any politics in it is... pretty dang hard to do.

On the mammoth one, if I remember correctly, hunters in that era were also more persistence hunters, than "shock and awe". IE, they would track the animal down over hours, and hours, until it tired, then strike. Humans are The Determinator trope personified.

Ain’t no way someone left their husband to marry some millionaire from a show

I wonder how that parent and teacher conference went with that math problem? Jeez, I even went to special classes back in elementary and even then I know the teachers in charge of those classes would not play those games and would chew out anyone who would.🤦‍♀️

"you don't get the barbie movie because you're not a woman" "you don't get Oppenheimer because you weren't killed by a nuclear bomb"

30:22 I work with Chess and I can explain why the tournaments are gendered. For most of the game’s history, it has been dominated by men and the chess scene in general has been incredibly hostile towards women players. Women have come forward about their experiences in open tournaments (mixed gender ones) and told tales of sexual harassment, abuse, bullying and even institutional penalties imposed towards them for the clothes they were wearing (such as tank tops, shorts and even sneakers) when male players get no such treatment. Historically, there have been instances of grandmasters refusing to coach young girls, but happily accepting boys. There are no male-only events, only female-only ones. Those gendered events are a way to incentivize women to play chess, and promote female presence in top level tournaments. Young girls have now a more reliable path towards a professional chess career. That being said, FIDE banning trans women is just plain stupid. It perpetuates the idiotic yet dominant idea that the reason that more men than women excel in chess is because of biological differences (i.e. “those born male are inherently more intelligent and logical”), when in actuality the reason lies within the history of sexism in the game and its institutions. This sexism affects all women, cis or trans.

8:43 The term Stormtrooper comes from imperial Germany. The Stormtroopers or Shocktroopers (German: Sturmtruppen or Stoßtruppen) were infantry soldiers who would make their way to the enemy trench and kill everyone before they could react. The Stormtroopers gained a reputation for being brutal and ruthless monsters to be feared "They're fueled by the fear in their enemies' eyes"- Stormtroopers By Sabaton

"You gonna dead-name one of your kids, I'm gonna dead-name you god-damn site!" Hell yes!! You and me both!!

16:25 there has been controversy about whether people did hunt mammoths with spears While spears blades stuck in bones mean people did hunt with spears, most of the evidence show that mammoths were killed with traps

I love that President Biden owns the dark branden thing.

Who made those rules about "don't say period"?? I had mine public school educational night that only the girls were invited to in 5th grade wtf

I can’t believe Andrew Tate said “women don’t be with men if you want to be more powerful”

21:54 what's even funnier is that Andrew Tate claims he fought a ghost In prison

12:25 the term "yank" was a derogoratory term usef by the british to describe americans. Instead of being offended by it, they embraced the word yank. It would be so ironic and funny if the same situation happened

23:36 that’s not even really belly fat that’s more or less the uterus like oh god imagine having an organ

16:15 Plus a spear can totally pop a Uhaul's tires

22:00 TO BE FAIR barney stinson can do arsonist magic

30:14 oh this is even worse than stated if you're a trans man who participated in the woman's league pretransition you will have your titles stripped from you which is wildly transphobic to the point it isn't even trying to hide it

The idiot that got catfished didn’t even ask for proof for the scammer to reveal who they were. Just throwing that out there.

22:55 => This is what the pain of face-palming too much does to your mental health.

30:06 There are tournaments for only women to boost the number of women who are interested in chess. Transwomen aren't allowed at these tournaments now. Fortunately in Germany they said :"That's stupid" and Transwomen are allowed to compete in Germany at the women's only tournaments. That is mosty because one of the previous champions in women's only chess is a german transwoman.

14:21 Salt is NOT a spice, its a condiment and mineral seasoning. Spices are made from parts of plants EXEPT the leaves like paprika, pepper etc because all. Herbs are made from ONLY leaves. Salt however is neither herb or spice, its made of minerals.

8:42 George Lucas actually has stated that he based the empire on the USA during the Vietnam war. According to the 2013 book The Making of Return of the Jedi, when Lucas was asked during a 1981 story conference whether Palpatine was a Jedi, he replied, "No, he was a politician. Richard M. Nixon was his name"

6:45 i know im about a billion years late to the party here, but i got my period in 5th grade. i would safely assume that a large amount of people get their period before 6th grade. i was scared, even though i knew what it was and was supported fully. To have no idea whats happening and suddenly be bleeding out of an area thats so ‘taboo’ must be horrible.

11:28 My man, Napoleon was a) a Corsican and b) literally racist against blacks.

11:00 he's already got tunnel vision without going 4 to 5 gs vertically lmao.

It never ceases to amaze me how far some people will go to make fools of themselves.

"My son failed the dna test" is wild

FYI: Stormtroopers are inspired by the special infantry soldiers from ww1 named stormtroopers. oh, and they where soldiers for IMPERIAL Germany

23:48 i feel called out, i used to be like that now im no longer closeted (clearly) but the accuracy of what he said actually scared me....

8:12 as was probably most famously, explained by Clausewitz, in the modern era war is understood, as the use of military force to accomplish political ends (“war is the continuation of policy with other means”). Are people not taught this in school anymore? Edit: it was inspired by contemplation of the Vietnam war - Lucas said it got him thinking about how democracies end up becoming dictatorships. And the prequel films draw from the American Civil War….

13:24 we have seen an individual ATOM with a camera lens.

22:14 That's actually doable as a college level math problem, just convert the answer into base 13: 8 + 5 = (13)₁₀ = (10)₁₃ But as an elementary level problem it's just hopeless. I get what they're going for (the 'adding to 10' method works best when adding more than two numbers at a time) but the question is written so poorly it's hard to tell what was asked for in the first place.

Friendly reminder that inaccurate or otherwise insufficient sex ed won't just leave your kids ignorant, it can put them in *actual danger.*

The Empire is pretty explicitly Space Nazis; I don't know how you could miss that.

That guy using his son's blood literally looks like he has jaundice.

Emkay: if this were real Barney Stinson would be able to rip your molecules apart! (meanwhile Glen Quagmire realigning the stars): Pathetic

I’m gonna take a guess and say that math question was SUPPOSED to say something like “write an equation that equals 10 including 8+5” so the answer would be something like 8+5-3. But then the teacher added like brackets to the thing which makes me think that they meant something else!?- idk math is hard

I was zoned out till I heard EmKay say salt is a spice.

31:29 This is the reason why other countries think we only care about our firearms. Not to mention that Eddie Eagle would be disappointed in us.

@11:07 It's ON purpose, and *BY* accident! 😬

To all of you who have commented you haven't even watched the full video. That's how you know this is a good video because people have good things to say before watching the entire thing.

22:03 he already can. Hes a gigachad in one of the best live action sitcom style shows ive ever seen.

I really wanted to write something about the USA being the only "first world country" that has third world health insurance, but I won't.

Now I’m just thinking about a uhaul made of flesh

I see Baby with a gun is continuing it's crime spree.

31:32. Won’t someone stop that toddler’s bloodthirsty ramapage across the country?

17:37 i meeeeaaaan "cocaine is a hell of a drug" also meth exists.

Disability literally means a lessened ability. Yeah, they should be "cured" insomuch as possible. You don't go to a kid with one leg and tell him "sorry honey, we could give you a prosthetic that could help you walk again, but we won't because that would be insensitive". What's wrong is treating people with disabilities like they're lesser people, or "fixing" them in ways that they didn't ask for or want. And yeah, the fact that it's some youtuber doing it instead of just something that should be expected in general is sick. It's like those "feel good" stories where an elementary school class raises $3,000 to save one of their classmates from being thrown in the organ chopper, and when you ask why we don't just stop throwing children in the organ chopper altogether people call you a Communist.

on top of out of universe inspirations, Star Wars also shows political tension between within fictional political parties all the time

That woman who took advantage of that guy for 8 years is pretty messed up, but honestly that poor kid thought that he had a Dad for 8 years, that man really should consider the damage he's causing to that kid by ghosting.

cameras were invented in 1916, A FULL YEAR AFTER NAPOLEON BONPARTE'S FRANCE FELL FROM GLORY

10:05 Fun fact! My sixth grade vocal teacher is gonna be in a scene in Maestro! I’m gonna point him out to ALL my friends when we watch it! :D

23:40 Plus-sized non-men >>> (I’m biased because I’m overweight)

The fact some guys just can’t cry is not ok, most guys at a young age where basically trained to not cry to seem manly. Only time I cried in the past 10 years is when I cut my finger open, not breakups or deaths

22:28 probably the most reasonable reaction to that bullshit math, lol.

1:45 I'd put up a not in my back window saying something like "sorry for my parking, it was the other guy's fault" or something. Works even when you actually parked bad

"men should only cry when someone dies"👩👩👩

I'm willing to bet Elon Musk was the kid who had xXx at the ends of his username because he thought it was cool

Ppl really saw the Barbie film and ignored that it was advocating for both men and women and now ppl are tryna demonize all men…

Shallow people will make any excuse to monkey branch to a new mate. What is even the point of monogamy then?

13:52, i have seen micro-organisms without a microscope…. just dip the very tip of a laser pointer into water and carefully aim it so the light beam becomes larger without breaking the water bubble surface tension and watch particles move around

Yall remeber when 11billion crabs went missing in Canada. Wonder where they are now

23:10 bro the teacher wasnt even right if you take 2 from 5 you get 3 and thats not even how math works

You only got 7.25 for that? Damn, he cheeting you already.

"Don't Say Period"

brainrot has consumed mulpan

To be fair I'm surprised there's actual vanilla in vanilla ice cream.

Bruh! Imagine being worth BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, owning multiple billion dollar conglomerates, smashing a Goth chick, and STILL be called a loser! Who else but Elon freaking musk

Okay, so, the math thing: it's common core. I don't like common core personally, but it does teach kids a million and a half different ways to associate numbers that can ultimately help them figure out which way of thinking of numbers works for them. A lot of these ways center around 10. Kids memorize the ways to get 10 (1+9, 2+8, 3+7, 4+6, 5+5), and that can help them to break down numbers properly. Since they already know 8+2=10, then the equation 8+5 becomes 5-2=3 and 8+2=10, then 10+3=13. Which means they don't have to count 5 up from 8. My brain automatically did associations like this growing up, but I wasn't taught that way. The fact that they are now teaching things this way can actually make math concepts a lot easier for kids who otherwise might not get it. That being said, I have never seen a common core math question that was able to clearly explain what the kid was supposed to be doing. I've always been good in academics, went to a top 20 college and everything, and I feel like an absolute moron trying to piece together what those worksheets are saying. It's not you, Robin, it's the math.

I also get that mad about the math thing

At what point did we move past doggo? Why would you want to?

In regards to the slew of break-ups in response to "Barbie", Lexi put it best when she said that if a movie like that incites a break-up, it wasn't much of a relationship to begin with. Besides, you're allowed to not like something, it doesn't automatically make you a bigot.

23:04 if you take 2 from 5 you have 3-not 2 So even the teacher was wrong omfg.

6:18 and thats screwed up because girls can get their periods as early as like 7-10 years old. And not every kid has someone at home to teach them about that stuff.

Bradley Cooper is the director on that movie. It’s literally his call.

I flip my phone over because the back of the case is clear, and I have cute ass stickers in there that I wanna show off. 🤣

Your apt criticism of our healthcare system is even worse when you realize that a single-payer system like Medicare-for-All would actually cost less than our current system, in addition to saving tens of thousands of lives.

Salt is a mineral and the only rock we can eat.

Y’all be ready tomorrow. Special event happening tomorrow

Love the Age of Epires sound effects for censoring. Truly a person of culture

The amout of peope breaking up or getting into fights with their partner, OVER THE BARBIE MOVIE is one of the funniest f***ng things i have EVER seen 🤣 I went to see that movie with my crush and they were laughing the whole time, yall take it like a 15 y/o LMAO

For those who don't know the difference between gasoline and diesel. Diesel is much closer to petroleum in terms of consistency. It's thicker and sludgier, which means it takes longer to burn, and if your engine wasn’t built to take diesel, it'll basically clog everything to hell almost instantly.

"Don't make Star Wars political" My brother in Christ, WHAT FUCKING MOVIE SERIES HAVE YOU BEEN WATCHING FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS

Props to the Editor who was working overtime censoring on this one.

25:36 I am pretty sure there is a difference between someone saying to a disabled person, "You need to want to change a part of you because it is different from me," and a disabled person themselves saying "Sure, I'll get this treatment that is something I personally think will improve my own quality of life."

It’s almost like the grown billionaire with a ex-wife and children has never heard of an x rated movie before and doesn’t know that adding “X” to the start or end of words like that has been a shorthand for “this is porn” since at least the 80’s. I personally think we should let him fuck this one up on his own because it’s really funny that he considers calling something “X” to be this cool futuristic internet thing and everyone else is just like “no” 🙃

"you're gonna deadname one of your kids i'm gonna deadname your goddamn site" robin you actually rule

Communism Puts a picture of a catholic president next to a catholic religious leader*

ADHD is proven to be neurological in that the brains of people who have it hardwired differently. They process information differently it isn’t about being lazy. People who have zero understanding of psychology and neuroscience should not speak on the matters. If you know and care about someone who has the diagnosis (there are actually 3 types) research and ask questions the more you learn and try to understand their strengths and struggles the better a friend you can be.

I got my period in 4th grade I only knew what was going on, that I wasn't dying, and what to do about it because a summer camp between 2nd and 3rd grade explained periods to me back then. My cousin didn't hear about periods until after she started her's, no one knew why she was crying for 2 straight days, turns out she was sure she was dying, she believed my grandparents wouldn't be able to deal with the news so she decided not to tell anyone, she truly believed she was actively dying. When my grandma found the underwear (that my cousin hid) with blood, she realized what was going on, tried to explain it to her but my cousin was sure she was being lied to. Last time I saw that cousin she was 19 years old and she still believed that babies were born out of the butt hole, that pee comes out the vagina, that you get pregnant from making out, and she didn't know what's the function of menstruation. We pretty much had the same ultra conservative upbringing with the huge difference of a single health class I got before 3rd grade at a summer camp (because no way our ultra Christian k-12 was teaching about that) I went to school with some girls that got their periods in 3rd grade, why would anyone wait until 6th grade to start teaching about it, especially with all the insane parents out there? Average age for the first period was 12 last time I checked meaning that roughly half of the kids that needed to know about periods are already menstruating by the time health class gets to that subject (although it has been proven that the average age keeps getting younger so I'm not sure if it's still at 12 or any younger and that's an average anyways so there are people starting it way younger than that) Edit: my original spelling was a mess because I got so upset when I heard about this. Hopefully now it makes more sense but I'm still fuming and not wearing my glasses so 🤞

About Bradley Cooper, he is also the director of the movie, yes the nose was his idea to fully represent the composer. BUT HE ASKED PERMISSION to Leonard’s family. He created the entire film while asking and taking the family’ suggestions and advices, he actively made them participate in the project. When this “scandal” came to surface, the entire family AND associations/communities for Jewish people fully supported him and his work because THEY KNEW HE ASKED. THEY told him it was okay to use the prosthetic because Leonard big nose was one of his extremely peculiar characteristics and it wasn’t at all intended to mock Jews. So yeah, f*ck everyone who wanted to ruin this masterpiece!! I really cannot wait to see Maestro, it’s going to be very emotional, I’m sure!

23:00 As someone who does math for fun, I think I figured this out. The question should be "What is 8+5. Show your work". Then you'd either take 2 from 5 to make 10+3=13 or do long addition. It took me a good few minutes to figure this out. As the question is stated, unless there is some greater context in which the students are being taught to group to 10s before addition AND this is one of a series of questions along those lines with the proper explanation at the start of the section, the student's answer is right. As a former educator, the phrasing of the question makes me weep.

The Audacity of these people is through the roof! I mean really??? PS: if Emkay actually reads these I want the narrators to have a totally rad day!❤

I love when people say “Don’t make ______ political” and said thing is very obviously political Like how these people very obviously only had enough brain power for the colourful pew pews and flashy boom booms and nothing else

Did they miss the whole thing about Ken? You know how they both matter?? Did I watch a different movie? It showed how both can be toxic.

2:30 fun fact: those tiny black spots in vanilla ice cream are usually finely ground up vanilla beans (the part that's left when you remove the tasty inside). It has or adds no flavor at all and is just for looks.

These aren’t face palms these are face SLAPS
