You just know Bill Wurtz probably spent hours experimenting with the length of the pause after "That's how every it gets" to get it just long enough to feel awkward and not a second longer.

Some historical context behind the "you can make a relig.. no dont" joke is that there was almost a religion formed behind Robespierre during the revolution 😂

Hi! Astronomer here. :) The James Webb telescope observations I think you're talking about have mostly called into question our understanding of how galaxies form and evolve, not necessarily the big bang! But as always in science, we'll be adjusting our theories with the evidence, so we'll see!

I love how the white screen catches everyone off guard like: Did I pause it?

"Spent a lot of money to learn I can binge-watch history videos on YouTube"

Dude just summarized 4 full years of college

actually ants have practiced horticulture, by growing fungus and plants in their ant colonies, and have domesticated aphids and so are capable of agrarianism, living off aphids' sugary excretion, like how we use cows to get milk, or goats and sheep for wool.

Doing history class here in Denmark the explanation for why Iceland is called that is because the vikings arrived in winter so it was covered in snow. While at Greenland they arrived where doing summer it is nice and green. At least it's the best explanation we got.

How much the Webb telescope discoveries are changing our cosmology sometimes gets over-blown by the media — they're huge, significant discoveries, but it's not like the whole history of the universe is being turned upside down. In this video in particular, the main thing that changed is the time between "a bunch of gas in space" and "it's a STAR" (the Webb discoveries have shown that it actually happened faster than the title cards in here would indicate).

"I'm a historian, which really just means that I spent a lot of money to learn what you could learn binging youtube for 2 weeks" 😂

I've been singing "The Sun is a deadly laser" to myself for 6 years.

The king of Mali was Mansa Musa. He got so rich by trading gold, salt, and slaves. He was also a devout Muslim and went on a hajj to Mecca with a ginormous caravan (tens of thousands of people and thousands of camels). Wherever he stopped, he would give out nuggets of gold to the people. Well, if you know anything about economics, you can figure out what happened. The value of gold plummeted. On his way back, he realized how much he screwed up and tried to buy up all the gold, but the damage to the economies was done. They wouldn’t recover for decades.

He’s considered to be the richest man in history

“Someone with ADHD trying to explain big bang” I’m crying 4:19

By the way, if you watch History of Japan from the same channel, I know that's not your wheelhouse in general, but it pre-dated this video and he happens to go a lot more into a humorous description of the complicated start of WWI there.

I absolutely love watching reactions to this video, it covers such a broad range of topics that everybody always has their own pieces of knowledge, I remember one person was a nuclear scientist of some sort and was able to go further in-depth about the beginning and big bang and then you have some historians like yourself that are able to explain the complicated history of humans in detail, its always so fascinating to listen to, the original video was a masterpiece, but the reactions to it are also so amazing!

32:23 the morse code spells out "SEXLOL"

the "let's make a religion out of this!" joke almost actually happened, in the form of the Cult of the Supreme Being

As a Canadian, the thing that stands out the most to me in this video is the complete lack of any mention of Canada.

08:55 20,000 years in the future: So, if the Terrible Events hasn't killed off the humans, Crow Civilization couldn't have taken off…

"I basically paid for lot of money to learn what you can learn on YouTube in a few weeks." As someone with a degree in Classics, I relate to that a little too much. Lol. That being said, this video still gives me a history boner. I actually have the app on my phone that I often use at inappropriate times.

Well as I said I've seen that a dozen times and people react to that a dozen times too and you picked up on some of the best little nuances that so many people miss I was laughing right along with you Great job really enjoyed it Thanks for sharing
