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 :)

PSA guys. Being best or worst at something doesn’t mean it’s good or bad. That’s all

[miraxllle]

New Jersey has the lowest suicide rate-

WOW

[IronElephantProductions]

Rhode Island: worst roads

*I R O N I C*

[fredk]

As an Oregonian myself, its astonishing that you couldn't find something we're the worst at since Oregon is the most depressed US state at a current 25.2%

[AvailableUsernameTed]

So with the high amount of caves and the low amount of dentists, Tennessee has a lot of cavities.

Indiana: High School basketball and *M* *E* *T* *H*

[Ethan]

Wyoming

Best At: Not having People

Worst At: Having People

Living in Pennsylvania, the high probability of hitting a deer with your car is unfortunately very true, there’s way too many deer in this state, I haven’t even had my license for a year yet and I’ve almost hit two now

"Indiana is the best at highschool basketball, but has the most meth labs"

You see, that's our secret, the meth gives us *power*

This video be like:

This state has the most pools out of any state and has the lowest car prices, but it also has the most war criminals out of any state.

"Pennsylvania has the highest probability of hitting a deer"
This is true, I see smashed up deer along and on the road all the time. Its because our back roads are through forests. Same with our highways and some interstates.

My teacher showed this in 5th grade without watching the video first and when we got to mississippi, she was surely surprised

I'm from Indiana and can confirm. We LOVE our high school basketball. The meth thing is also true, sadly. My mom worked for our counties court house and she used to tell us all the time to watch out for meth. Supposedly, the county I grew up in was ranked nationally for the most meth labs. Marshall County. We live in the country and used to do family bike trips around the backroads and we found 10-15 meth labs. We called it in everytime bit people would throw away their little chemistry sets after they were used too much.

Nothing positive was said about Florida... Interesting...

[amannaikwade]

Arkansas

Has highest dog ownership

Highest divorce rate

So the dog was the problem. Ha

[chickentenders]

Arkansas literally defines “It’s either me or the dog!”

I lived in Alabama for 6 months. I was amazed by the number of misspelled signs that I saw. I'm not talking yard sale signs I mean permanent constructed signs along the road made by churches and businesses. I guess they lack a spell check function, IDK.
