Videos explaining things. Mostly over topics like history, geography, economics and science.

We believe that the world is a wonderfully fascinating place, and you can find wonder anywhere you look. That is what our videos attempt to convey.

Currently, I try my best to release one video every week. Bear with me :)

This is all lies we all know the earth is actually one big toyota corolla

[kray]

[wyolaskan]

1:25
“Another way to understand just how big Texas actually is...”

Alaskans: Cute.

[Kietbaas]

1:06
*People from Dalhart*
'Am I a joke to you?'

[georgios_]

4:40 I think this is flipped. The Russian one is tommorow island, and the Alaskan one is yesterday

[nujacordep]

When you live in Hawaii and always get overlooked unless Pearl Harbor or a vacation is mentioned...

[clementyu]

South America= East America
North America= West America

Another thing I noticed is that this video has Yesterday Island and Tomorrow Island confused. Yesterday Island is in the United States, not Russia. If someone sails due directly east from Tomorrow Island in Russia, in the early morning, they will end up on Yesterday Island, USA, a few minutes later and still early in the morning but the morning of the *previous* calendar day.

The problem with this is that map distortion wasn't fully taken into account.

*I hear the screams of flat earthers from here*

[masnwrdl]

So we're all just gonna ignore that fact that at 0:36 he said western most edge when it's eastern

[SirHenryMaximo]

Washington D.C. is closer to Brazil than it is to Alaska.

[lakiluver]

So I am confusion, why is this one KANSAS but this one is not ARKANSAS. America, explain! Explain! What do you mean ARKANSAW

[EvanG]

You switched up Yesterday and Tomorrow island

[Gunshinzero]

Now I'm wondering if all the Dalhart people commenting on the video know each other.

[DoomFinger]

There is no mystery why northern Europe is warmer then the northern part of North America. It's because of the Gulf Stream. It brings warm water up the west coast of Europe and creates different weather pattern keeping it warmer there.

That transition into that sponsor though.
