the existence forecast 

One small correction: Enceladus is currently spewing water from its Southern Hemisphere at 400 meters per second, single handedly replenishing Saturn’s E ring every orbit

I wish all weather forecasts were as good as this.

This man has become so much more efficient at this whole "crisis creation/resolution" racket. What used to take 17 minutes now takes just 6. The future truly is now.

This man is gonna make me cry by reading stats are you fucking kidding me

I really like how this video starts off with simple facts, then starts getting dark and dark "today". And then how when "tomorrow" comes it starts getting lighter ,the music gets uplifting. The video first removes the smile on your face, only to give you a bigger one. The beginning and ending make the video come in a complete circle. Beautiful.

'Otters shall be otting' is the reassurance that I needed today

This is why I love this channel. One moment he's ripping out my hope for the world, the next he's telling a cute story about a man forgiving his father, and then he ends on a hopeful note. I have never seen another channel pull this off this well.

This man is the only person who could start his videos with a weather forecast and keep me interested

I ended up crying. Weirdly enough, not at the start when it gets darker, but near the end. I don't know how to describe it. I don't know if this made me sad or not. I don't know if I should say thanks for this video. But... while doubting, I prefer to say thank you. Thank you.

This dude never fails to give me existential crisis

i remember your first videos being released, and it never fails to impress me how, after all of these years, the ball has not stopped rolling in your ability to write something fantastic.

This feels like a continuation of Bill Hicks' "Here's Tom with the weather" line

"Dark matter will continue to matter" 💀

I’m not joking when I say your videos changed my perspective on life. Thank you.

It’s been two months. I am still searching for the choir music at the first half of the video. I will not surrender

Thanks for everything. Everytime I'm going through existential crisis I come back to your channel and you lift me up to continue this Sisyphean task. Sometimes nihilism just overwhemls us to the point, where we are unable to do anything, thanks to you I always find the will to continue. Thanks depression turtle, I love you.

Really depressing and really uplifting at the same time. Nailed it again.

you know it's a good day when you see existential crisis turtle is back with a new video

I usually like watching your videos while tripping on dxm. Right now I'm enjoying watching this after getting home from the hospital after an overdose. Thank you existential turtle

I adore that despite the madness and turbulent confusion clearly present in our world you still shine a light on the fact that we are making progress and marching forward. Also every video that calls out the madness and existential crisis of our age makes it feel like the world isn't so bad a place. Because I'm not alone in these thoughts. If even a few others share them, that means we will make it yet. I also have always adored your stories that you write. The little excerpt about the man finding a toy his father gave him and making up, I'm going through my own situation right now and that speaks to me. I myself am growing more distant from my parent because they keep tearing me down, they haven't supported me once. I'm realizing that if I want to actually do the things I want to in life I have to just stop caring about them right now. But I hope that one day I can have that similar situation and be able to make up. Because right now it's a lot of my parent wanting me to be something I'm not and refusing to let me take my own path in life, and all that harbors is a resentment where I wanna change my number and cut all ties. This gives me reassurance that though the road seems rocky, it'll turn out alright.

In just over 6 minutes, I laughed, cried and had one of the most poignant thoughts in years.

Thank you depression turtle, this is so well crafted. I love the fact that you addressed the positives of this world. We may be on the verge of the abyss but Hope hasn't died yet.

I came across this channel just yesterday and it's now the best way to make me feel MUCH and ACTUALLY better. Wow. Seriously, thank you so much. Exactly the attitude to bring me a peace of mind.

you got me through some difficult points in my life im glad you take your time and actually make genuinely informative and great content it shows theres still hope for this website

While struggling to stabilize my emotions, this video calms me down by helping me realise there is no point doing so. Thanks exurbia

This guy is probably an inspiration for the next generation of philosophers and storytellers

I literally had to cry, after hearing the devastation of the day before and then hearing about all the good things. I am sitting here crying of happiness, thank you for making me believe that this world is magical

Came back to e1xs videos after a few years. He always gives me hope that humanity is going to improve.

I am once again prepared to be existentially blown away. Exurbia's videos are the only YT videos I will repetitively watch

Ah, well, I'm crying. I've had a bad day, and this was a rollercoaster that drove all the dark clouds away. Thank you so much for reminding us that hope never dies, good things still exist!

It’s only 6 am and yet you still managed to make me cry and have an existential crisis thankuverymuch

These videos always give me a nice rollercoaster of emotions, with apprehension at first, then, the exstatic and relieving part.

This man uploads just enough to keep us happy and under His Control. He has traveled back in time to control us as his army so he can get unlimited rice pudding

Your videos are like a life check point

I recently realized that I'm having another depressive episode, which is a bit weird, but point being, thank you for reminding me that good things still happen.

The wayyour channel puts everything, crushingly mortal sad, and living and happening idk, in this video, is amazing. You're a master of balancing the pessimistic and optimistic and the objective Exurbia

When exurb1a uploads, you know it's gonna be good and stimulate your mind

I haven't hit play yet and I already have a wide smile on my face - your channel is the only one that does that to me. Thank you for being and for all the work you put into those videos - they somehow always strike the right cord with me.

For the past three or so weeks I've been struggling to find happiness in things that I used to enjoy. Right now I'm on an afternoon walk around my local lake park. It's very quiet, most people are probably at home. I'm wearing headphones and listening to this video, at first it made me feel terrified, hopeless. As the video came to its second part, I stare at the sun, the trees, the swimming ducks and I smile. Thank you mister depressed turtle. You've made my day. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't shed a tear of happiness.

Thank you, your videos are the only thing that I'm 100% sure that I'll always stop anything just to watch a new one or an old one.

You have a particular talent for making topics hilariously existential. Putting things into perspective how you do is amazing.

Exurbia is like post nut: you know it brings depression but you can’t escape it once you’re in it

Dude PLEASE make more of these. This and your absurdism vid got me to sub but this video is seriously awesome

"our planet is being destroyed at a rate we cannot comprehend, also a 4 year old will be trying to think of a colour that doesn't exist yet." is how you make someone cry 2 different types of tears

4:50 my mum makes up at least half of those phone calls

Thanks for the awesome content!!

Thank you Exurb1a, these videos of yours never cease to make my day

This went down quickly edit: and then deep. And then... it went to the better part. You just made the rest of my day. I really like how you used "Today" and "Tommorow", it is great to symbolize, that no matter what is today, tomorrow, everything can be way better, thx man.

Thx a lot. Yesterday I was laying in my bed just telling myself over and over again: I don’t want to die… I’m 20 now and just started my Bachelors Degree in Music. Everday I have phases of complete existential fear. I imagine my last moments, think about how life will move on and forget me. I imagine what a heaven would looks like, just to realize that this was the key thought that sparked Theologie. I imagine how I slumber into to void just to never open my eyes again and thinking: I would love to go on. I don’t know what to do about my fear.

this guy ran experiments on people like an actual supervillain, if the victims were lying he wouldve just said something by now, its been years. i cant in good conscience keep watching the videos even if i like them.

i was half expecting you to say "and now, the weather" and music to start playing, despite this already being formated like a weather forecast

have loved ur stuff for years, but this one hit different. might be one of my favorites of yours now. anyways, have a good one mate

You gave me my first real existential crisis 6 years ago when I was in middle school, and you continue to bring me laughs and hope for my future. Idk how you did it, but thank you for everything.

My life is better with your content thank you I'm so happy you exist

I don't know how but these videos get me. With coping with some major depression and whole list of metal illnesses so many of exurb1a's videos have literally chased those feeling away.. if not at first add to them with reminding the viewer just how bad the world we live in is or how bad part of it are at least.. but somehow they always see the ray of hope if you will and it out shines everything. One of my favorite people on the internet. from 3:53 I was basically breaking down crying til the end with just how hard it hits. With how many other people alive at this very moment and knowing they are all having there own lives with hopes and dreams and loves and fears. It really shows how much we only think about ourselves and not the other experiences people can have. exurb1a's channel needs more love then it has. Needs to reach more lives.

I like your content so much, I'm now addicted. Thank you for your work man, you're genius! Greetings from Romania!

What a nice profile picture this channel has, surely this guys content is wholesome videos with no existential dread or depressing facts being spread in them

Every time, a new video pops out by Exurb1a, i get this feeling of joy and nostalgia. Its like a journey through the universe, and the mind itself. Every time

Aways a mind blowing experience to see an exurb1 production. Keep it up, comrade, I love your work!

I will always remember discovering this channel on vacation back in highschool, binging through all the videos and having an epiphany on life equivalent to that of an lsd trip (which I will discover years after). Followed by an email sent to my school counselor which resulted in therapy sessions haha

I have had my hope utterly crushed and then rebuilt in the span of six minutes. This was an amazing watch.

Ah yes another stream of thoughts from a truly conscious being. I am forever grateful to you for without I would be ever more alone.

in a typical exurb1a fashion, we are once again blessed with the ramblings of someone who is grimly aware of all the terrible things happening in all manners all over the world, and yet still choosing and fighting to see the good parts of life despite the future looking a bit bleak and the apparent purpose of life being "unclear." well done.

M from morroco and i really do love this chanel, it was very pleasing and yet surprising to hear you mentioning my country at the begining of the video, that you for the good content btw :)

I clicked on the video, ready to get depressed from it. I was not disappointed, and yet pleasantly surprised. Thank you for continually brightening my days in a thought-provoking manner.

I have tears in my eyes. What a roller-coaster. Thank you.

This video made me a subscriber!!!! Great work and great editing,, This is just my vibe, good luck that I discovered this under the water iceberg!!!!

Every upload fills me with equal amounts of joy and dread. Keep it up!

First time a weather forecast made me have an existential crisis and then just 3 mins later, feelings of hope about the future of humanity.

This kind of stuff is why I am so happy to be contributing on Patreon

Your videos always touch my soul. Every single video. Not one person does it better than you.

I cried some, thanks bro.

i have been watching you for years at this point and I can safely say you are my favorite RU-vidr, you have completely changed my mindset and perspective on life and I can never be truly thankful enough of you.

Mindblowing video as always, how you put an existential crisis and getting over it is beyond me. To 5:45: The Hubble constant isnt actually constant , it changes over time. Thats why its rather called Hubble parameter nowadays :D

this is genius. came from work, I've been feeling really existencial, wanted to watch / hear something about anything, so I clicked. my brain just BOOM! muito obrigado por esta pérola! 💖

Thank you exurb1a for existing!

I've been feeling really homesick lately and Morocco being mentioned in the introduction lightly warmed my heart :)

So glad you posted another video, please keep in up, I love hearing your perspectives and writing!

Your videos are always a safe place for when I am in a bad place (wich is often). Genuinely, thank you.

These videos never cease to amaze me

Wow i was feeling so good today and not depressed at all, great that exurb1a posted!

2:42 I was convinced the line would be "..Confirming we are, unintelligent."

I see how you try to make it better at the end of the video to provide a feeling of "balance", and sort of hope but the initial part just devastated me so hard that nothing after that mattered. We are so doomed

This is probably one of the best videos I've seen in a while. Great job lad

Can we all appreciate how exurb1a makes videos for us to enjoy. I feel so spoilt. I'm going to watch this video when I get home from work so that I'm all comfortable. Watching his videos make my day so much better. Can we all just take a moment to appreciate that he's doing all of this just for our happiness. We don't deserve him!

I love this channel.

Visceral and lovely! Heartwarming! Thank you from a fellow absurdist.

I listen to this whenever I feel I need cheering up or some good perspective. Thank you!

Yay it's time for more existential dread!

Exurb1a always uploads a just the right time, when it’s nighttime and I’m trying to sleep and all of a sudden it’s a full on existential crisis, comforting really.

From 1 piece of universe experiencing itself too another, Your soul is stupendous. I hope your never too alone. Times are strange, but I'm sure glad my timeline and yours coexist.

The first half made me sad and a little angry. The second half I started crying from happiness and joy. Thank you!

Just brilliant!! Thanks so much for yet another masterpiece

Not gonna lie, all your videos are wonderful thought provoking masterpieces but this one is the first to actually make me tear up a little

Amazing.. I really like it. Do it every day... Dude.. that's amazing..thank you

I could imagine this as actually being an actual news broadcast.

If you ever feel like you messed up something, just come back and re-watch this

Courtesy of a new couple in Portugal hahaha I giggled so much man : ) Great video as always. My existence is now more aware of what's going on!

Hello! I searched for your RU-vid profile because I just finished The Fifth Science. I didn't know you were a RU-vidr and I haven't watched any of your videos (yet); I just bought the book because the blurb hooked me. Anyway, all of this to say that I was completely invested in your book the entire time. The ideas, the narratives, the way they all manage to matter in the moment for the building of an age... truly you accomplished something I find really remarkable in contemporary science fiction. The journey on which your book took me was wonderful, and I wanted to thank you for the experience. Cheers

Hello. I'd just like to inform you that you've had a profound affect on my life and the goals carried out thereby. I started watching your videos when I was about 13, maybe 14, since then I have, through your works, discovered my passion for creative writing and essay writing. I have written several short stories, and am now working on a novel, but I don't think k I'd ever come across this passion without your work, and the effect it had on me. Your work was not a spark to my passion's flame, that undercuts the strength of your work; it was more like a hammer, your words the nails, writing the crucifix, and passion my stigmata. Your beautiful, stunning descriptions of philosophical concepts I otherwise would have never pondered stuck with me, beating down on my heart, leading me to the passion that now dictates so much of my happiness. If I become as successful an author as I wish to be, I hope only that I have as profound an effect on someone else as you have on me. This is all to say, thank you. I know it sounds dramatic, but I wouldn't be who I am now, as happy as I am now, as sure of my future as I am now, if it weren't for your talent, your art, you.
