It's so great to have you list 25 back! ❤

[alliespencer]

One thing I love the most about this video is that I didn't know most of these. And you normally don't get that with videos like this. Thank you for the great content❤

Also, many cultures used broad leaves as plates or bowls; many in India at least still do. The leaves are often fed todomestic animals, especially cows, once the food is eaten, which is efficient and kind. Where water is scarce or barely safe to use without boiling or the like, and where one has to carry water from a well or river, maybe for many miles/km, not having to wash dishes saves a lot of effort and water itself.

Love your videos Mike! Thanks for your info and humor

[joannewilson]

I love this channel…I learn so many interesting things!!

[paige-vtfn]

Glad you made a list a little more reminiscent of the more lighthearted topics. Lately they've been pretty dark and i haven't watched a video lately. Thank you for the hard work and i am still a proud fan of List 25 ❤❤❤

I was a cabinet maker for many years and on occasion one would cut their finger. your standard band-aid would never stay on, so we started using electrical tape. The surprise was that the wound would be closed the next day, almost like it never happened.

[wschnabel]

One I find amusing is that the name Dumpster was at one point a registered trademark. Another fun one I remebered was that during the lewis and clark expedition they had a Girandoni Air Rifle from around 1780 and used during the Austro Turkish War. It had a gravity fed system similar to that on a daisy red ryder was also known as a windbusche or 'wind rifle'.

If it moves, but shouldn't : duct tape. If it doesn't move, but should : WD-40.

I've been using chopsticks since I was 4. I asked my uncle, that ate with chopsticks primarily, if he would teach me how to use them. He told me that he would, only if I promised to never eat Chinese with anything but chopsticks ever again. That was 36 years ago and I have still kept my promise.

No, the qwerty keyboard was NOT created to slow down typing, the layout was to place commonly used characters so they were not next to each other so there was the least possible chance of mechanical jam when two were used in rapid succession.

2:01 The reason Barbie's waist is so small is so that she will look normal when dressed. Waistbands on the doll's clothes were bulkier than on a human's clothes, because the fabric was not to scale. So when it was folded and sewed, the wasteband was much thicker in proportion to the waist. They intentionally made her waist smaller to accomidate the out of scale waistbands without the doll looking fat, or

25 reasons mike & this show rocks!

[minh-sanantoniotexas]

Just a note on using chopsticks from someone who used them all my life. The technique you showed is the one we show to "learning adults". I learned as a kid, by using the same 4 fingers (thumb, pointing, middle and ring), but I hold them together between the thumb, the pointing finger on top and the other 2 fingers below, open them by inserting the middle finger between the sticks, and close by removing the middle finger. Takes a lot more practice but allows to exert much more precision and force closing, also looks more elegant because the "resting" position have the sticks parallel and together. Fun fact, there is a third piece of wood called the chopsticks rest that we leave on the table to rest the sticks when not in use, so that the sauce sticking to the tip of the sticks does not soil the table cloth. Rich people have assorted chopsticks and chopstick rests, usually black lacquered with mother-of-pearl inserts making super fine art, like the 4 animals (dragon, lion, turtle, phoenix) or the 4 plants (apricot blossom, orchid, chrysanthemum, bamboo)

Duct tape was originally called "duck tape." It was designed to repair oiled (waterproof) canvas called "duck cloth." At least I remember reading that somewhere - actually there's an article in the Chicago tribune about it.

[jimwoodard]

Another keyboard, fun fact. Notice that the number pad on a keyboard or calculator is upside down from that of a phone. That is because early phone users when introduced to digital keyboards in test groups made more errors dialing with a standard keyboard than the flipped keyboard, that you see now.

This was in an effort to minimize miss dialing of phone numbers when the digital keyboard was released.
