in the Philippines, our favorite boxer is Pacquiao, and everyone likes his fights, lose or not. Whenever a fight is shown on TV, the crimes rates flatten, and then starts back up until the next fight.
That gives me brilliant mental images 😂 "Hey dude stop robbing that guy, Pacquiao's up!" (Robber and victim both stop to watch) "ok match over (robbery commences)
@@WobblesandBean Yep. Sometimes the police chiefs give the whole station a day-off, not only because they like the fights, because there’s so little crime that cops are useless.
manny pacquiao right? i think i seen some of his stuff before from what i gather he's got an infectious personality and is really likeable, definitely doesn't seem like the type of guy to be able to beat someone up as bad as he can lmao
Clownfish incest is a thing. When the female clownfish dies, the male offspring will turn into a female and mate with its own father to create more offspring. Brings a whole knew meaning to Finding Nemo.
Fun Fact: The Bible has had several phrases and sentences taken out, added stuff that wasn’t originally in it, and changed several different wordings so it would feel more accurate for the times Go ahead find a bible from 100 - 150 yrs ago and compare them (I’m not refering to rewordings such as thy and thou)
Wait I thought the Ikea Catalog was the most sold book and the Guinness world record Book is in the Guinness world record Book for being the most stolen book
The London tower thing is because the sound via the radio is travelling at the speed of light, where as the sound from the bell to you, is travelling much much much slower at simply the speed of sound
The eyes not melting thing IS actually a possibility. My friend when went to sleep and ended up waking up to his eyes burning snd he couldn’t see and he has to take medication for life for his immune system to control the white blood cells and something else in order for them to not be attacked and essentially melt away , he has to wear strong glasses for life as well after what they able to save . I can’t remember what it’s called but it’s an actual medical condition. He also gets severe motion sickness in cars.
@@andymanson3836 yea I believe this is what it was he developed. It was so sudden and random. Literally over night they just started melting, glad he caught them when he did but he was in deep to his major wrestling career, constantly driving for travel and such and emt on the side so that really threw stuff for a loop being in cars a lot / needing the vision. Rough to have for sure. Thanks for that ! I’m Sure it’ll help people popping up here/ definitely helped me to remember haha.
1:30 This is inaccurate. Cats only have one larynx, however, their vocal cords have an extra fold in then called _ventricular cords_ used for purring. So it's not like they have two complete sets, more like one and a half. As a zoologist, I'm full of useless animal facts. For example: the little baleen-looking grooves on a duck's bill are called _lamellae._ Also, those terrifying teeth on a goose's tongue? Those are their taste buds. The Australian possum is more closely related to a kangaroo than it is to the American opossum.
Horses can't throw up, they have three eyelids and they have the same eye that goats have. Feeding a horse something without the owner knowing for a long time can seriously affect their behaviour. There have been cases where passerbys fed horses on a field and the horses started being aggresive. The horses were actually very calm when fed like they were supposed to, but the feeding made a change. And the that's why we don't want strangers feeding our horses.
Jaguars are the strongest cat in the world relative to their size and have a bite force that allows them to pierce the skulls of crocodilians. Also tiger pee smells like popcorn, so if you smell a theater in India get out before your movie ends without a sequel.
A furry artist was constructing a solid fanbase, career, and drawing skills, years before his brother simply started to do Let's Plays on RU-vid and overtook the number of his brother's accrued clientele and income in less than a single year. You would know that brother by the name of Markiplier.
I knew he was an artist of sorts, but I never knew of him doing anything like that lol fascinating information. Especially considering I've been watching Markiplier for 8 years, more consistently for the first 5.
The longest year in history was 45 AC. This is because Julius Ceasar fixed the calendar at that time in history and replaced it with a automatic one that wouldn’t require constant correction. Because of the error of the old calendar, the date was three months behind so he added 90 days to the year 45, therefor making it the longest year in history.
Rats are mine dedectors in areas, where dogs would be too heavy. So, if you walk safe through a field somwhere - chances are that rats have found all mines! Rats are intelligent and affectionate. Rats are cute too! ^_^
Or slowly taking blood out of one person for a certain period of time. Humans are able to loose at least one pint of blood before blood loss fully kicks in
I can name all 196 countries, all world capitals, I can identify about 95% or more of all national / country flags. I can also identify all 50 states and their capitals and their flags. I can also name all 118 elements, all 73 episode titles for Game of Thrones, every episode title for Avatar the last Airbender, all 151 original gen 1 Pokemon, and every chapter title name in Harry Potter.
Snoop Dogg tried to rent the entire country of Lichtenstein. Lichtenstein also had the same flag as haiti and they didn’t realize until one of the olympics. why do I know this? because I did a presentation on lichtenstein in 4th grade.
The bowling pin setter had such a good design that later on they didnt change it because of how good it was (Well maybe upgrading what they used to make it)
There is a fish called the Spanish dancer that has the male reproductive system and a female reproductive system and to reproduce duels another Spanish dancer and use their pp’s as swords
@@Dragontamer135 There are some breeds of angler fish where the male is far smaller than the female and will latch onto their body and stay there. Eventually, they entirely merge with the female, turning into essentially a sperm dispenser.
1:11 I bet that's Ginebra. That stuff is sold everywhere in the Philippines, even our general store has a stash of it. Edit: Also, it aint't true that it's only sold in the Philippines, as it's also sold across Asia, it's just that its local sales is really big.
Hospitals have to keep beer on hand for people with severe alcoholism. This is because if you have to slowly ween people off their alcohol addiction because eventually they form a physical dependence on the substance(not just an emotional one). So if you try to make them quit cold turkey, they can actually die.
The reason the bell sound travels faster over the radio is because it's only sound at the input (the microphone) and the output (the radio speaker). For most of the trip it's a signal sent via radio waves, which consist of photons traveling at the speed of light, which is faster in air than the speed of sound.
Also, if I had myself turned into pencils after being cremated, I would bond part of my soul to at least one pencil so that I could still communicate with the living.
8:39 In sweden the limit is .5% - or what's considered non alcohol, this is to be able to control the sellers better (all liquor stores are state owned) so you never get any advertisment, nor competing prices which might makes you buy more than intended, it's a wierd system but according to themself it saves 2000 lifes a year
Don’t even get me started on 52! There are are more ways to shuffle a deck of cards than there are atoms on earth. In fact, if 52! Was represented by the amount of money in the world, $80 trillion, the number of atoms on earth would be equal to $3.50.
Oklahoma's state vegetable is watermelon (even tho its a fruit) is because watermelons are related to cucumbers, they exist in the same family tree. And on top of that reason, watermelons are grown as vegetables, and not fruits. For culinary uses, they are basically vegetables. We still should have made it something else to be fair.
Pluto has five moons. The biggest one, Charon is close enough that ejecta from Pluto's cryo-volcanos has stained part of its surface. Charon is the biggest moon relative to its host planet, and the point they orbit around is not inside Pluto or Charon. The discoverer of Charon wanted to name it after "Char" (his pet name for his wife), but fortunately it turned out that the name was close to that of the ferryman of the dead in Greek myth, making it a good companion for the god of death. On a related subject, Pluto got off easy compared to Ceres, the biggest body in the asteroid belt. It started off as a planet, got downgraded to an *asteroid*, and is currently classed as both a dwarf planet and an asteroid. Finally, Pluto's furthest point from the Sun is 49 AU. The dwarf planet of Sedna has an extreme elliptical orbit that ranges from 76 AU at the closest to 937 AU at its most distant. It's so eccentric that some astronomers have speculated it was stolen from another solar system that the Sun once passed close to.
In the war of 1812-14, thanks to slow communication in those days, the famous Battle of New Orleans actually took place after the signing of the peace treaty, and had no effects on the outcome.
It has been notice by people, and doctors, that powerful tyrants in history have strange physiological condtions that start of as sublte oddities, and become more, and more obvious as they stay in power. They also start behaving oddly. I was watch two different things on Saddam Hussien. One was on PBS and they talked to his Saddam's doctor, who only job was to take care of Hussien. It was just short clip, that was edited abruptly short. He started acting strange, which isn't odd for anyone. Sometimes he would just freeze when talked to him. Other times he was normal, and then he would do things, and have things done that made no sense. A family memeber would do something minorly wrong, and he wanted them killed. Later, he would ask where that person was. They would tell him, "In prison, to be excuted." Saddam would be aghast, and ask why. The person would tell him what they did, and it was his orders. He would counter man his order, and then tell his people, "Don't excute people, when I say to. Just ignore me my commands." No one did that. After while, he just became more, and more that other person. Physically, his vital sign would be out of wack. His blood pressue would bottom out, and heart rate would go up. I don't remember everything, but everything would be off. Then one day the doctor was standing behind Saddem, with a bunch of people standing nect Saddam. The sun light was shinning through everone's ears, and there ears were pink. Saddam's ears were a bright yellow. The was this other video, and they interviewed one of his body guards. They said, "Saddam need alone time, periodically through the day. The guards were to never let other people to see him at these times. The guard were not allowed to see him. Once Saddam was in his bedroom, and alone. Something happen, and someone from the army came, and said, "We are under attack. We must tell Saddam." The guard went into the bedroom, and Saddam was in the bathroom. All these strange noices came from the bathroom, and it sounded like Saddam was pleading with someone. Then the strange noises. The guard went back out in the hall, and waited. It was the same with Hitler. They had rule that no one would go into Hitlers bedroom while he was in there. On D Day, the allied force landed, and everyone was to afraid to go into Hitlers bedroom to wake him. When Hitler came out, they asked, "Shouldn't we wake you next time." Hitler said, "No. I will have that person killed."
not a ridiculous fact but: cat's purr to show their feelings, in most cases they purr because they are happy, but cats also purr when in stress or are hungry, i think you can tell by what they are doing i suppose, but i am unsure
that might actually be possible, since there's no friction in space it will just keep going until it hits something, and even if it were to fly to a relatively advanced civilisation, they wouldn't be able to see it coming because it would be too small to see as any sort of threat. so yes, it is entirely possible that an alien somewhere in the universe has been/will be hit by a manhole cover going faster than the speed of sound
tom selleck was the original pick as the actor playing indiana jones, but he was already busy with a different project, so they went with harrison ford instead
The big ben fact makes total sense, cause the noise of the big ben on the radio is travelling at the speed of light, so even with conversion and travelling longer distances it would still be vastly quicker than the speed of sound.
While Colorado is so rectangular in appearance that the southern border is 22 miles longer than the northern border, errors made by early surveyors resulted in zig zags. Keep in mind these surveyors didn't have modern day technology in the late 1800s. Which makes Colorado a hexahectaenneacontakaiheptagon, making it 697 sides and not 4
The fact that peacocks can fly up to 10 miles per hour everyone looked at me like I was crazy Or mostly fact about the raptor sounds from Jurassic park
If you are not REALY watchful with anything on your daily life, during your dreams your brain will render it in a extremely poor version and tell you what you see, so you don't notice. Because of that, for most people, everyone on a dream doesn't have a face, skin color and even voice. You hear your own mind voice and think is another's voice. The same happens to how physics work. That's why the movie Inception are fun, but full of fail reality checks, because if you are always paying attention on how a top spins and stops by losing energy, the same is expected to happen on your dream. So, you may ask "How do you know about it if your brain just adapt and make your dreams more realistic?" Simple, it's because i've trained auto hypnosis and to have lucid dreams, so i can be watchful to lots of things and overload my brain so it can't keep up rendering everything perfectly and just "crashes", starting to poorly render everything again and letting me see all of it while conscious. Not gonna lie, the vision of these kind of dream is something worst than your worst nightmares, so you would be really mind fucked by it if not used to strange things. And your brain is expected to not "uncrash", because the switch is already off, so all your dreams turn into lucid, acid like cosmic dreams and you need to choose what you gonna dream and use more "rendering power", so you need extra sleep time to feel rested.
Remembering that clues on random moment of day can help you notice when you are on a dream and take control of it, turning it into a lucid dream. As you are just using your new power to fly or fire lasers from your fingers, you are almost 99% safe from seeing everything like a nightmare. Just DON'T look much into the abyss.
The red knot sandpiper, a bird the size of a robin, migrates from southern Argentina to the Canadian tundra _and back_ again every year. If you were to add up the total migration distance over the course of one’s fifteen~ year lifespan, it would equal the distance to the moon and halfway back.
Cool. Arctic tern has the longest migration though. Edit: Ps. I just realised, it could very well be called /antarctic tern/ as well 😅 Well, it is how it is 😅
Jerry Parr was inspired to join the Secret Service by Ronald Reagan, whom he later saved by being a member of the Secret Service. I guess it really is a small world.
Do nuclear fallout shelters count as bunkers? Then Switzerland has more. Up until 2012 this was the law: "Every inhabitant must have a protected place that can be reached quickly from his place of residence". Since 2012 houses for 1 family no longer need to have a nuclear fallout shelter built in.
@@oz_jones That and rare breeds and ideal individual representatives of breeds (doesn't necessarily have to have any competition merits) plus bloodlines, genetics ect.
That the measurement of a foot is based off the length of the kings foot who set the standard and the the distance of a mile was set by measuring how many feet were between one town and another, but the guy they sent to count didn't know how to count and he just said random numbers as an answer while the actual distance between the town is actually like 3 and a half miles by the measurement he gave off what a mile was
@4:25 Horses consume multiple mega calories per day (I forget how many but I think the average is between 10 and 20). 1 mega calorie = 1 million of the small c calories that we eat.
Well... when we talk about food calories, we mean kilocalories (kcal). Around 2000-2500 kcal per day is a human recommendation, give or take, but that's the ball park. That would be 2-2,5 megacalories, so you are saying horses eat 4-10 times more than us.
Bearded dragons have three eyes too. (Kinda, it's a sensory organ no bigger than the tip of a pen in the center of the top of their head. It's to spot predators above them, or just motion in general)
