What Makes a Home...A Home? | SciShow Compilation

Living spaces vary greatly across the planet—for humans on Earth, a roof and walls usually make a home, but what about for animals? Or people in space? Today, we're welcoming SciShow videos from across our different channels into this collection of episodes that explore some of the different ways we think about home. Let's go!

Hosted by: Hank Green (he/him)

In New Zealand, the legal definition of a City is 30, 000. Which I know is tiny to most people, but we have a tiny population. There are census budgeting implications for whether a place is a city or not. I lived near a place called Masterton, which has always been right at the line between Large Town and City. It was considered a big deal when it crossed 20, 000, the previous standard, but when they did, the metric was lifted to the current standard, and everyone there will tell you they increased the standard just so Masterton would continue to be excluded.

I'm homeless and this is keeping me educated & inspired- home is where the heart is and I love science!

[domomitsune]

A place where you fill your most comfortable. And for a cat that usually means under a bed, and a closet, or in a box. Any kind of confined space basically. Assuming that your cat doesn't like sleeping on top of your kitchen cabinets. But usually home is where the heart is, and where you keep your stuff.

This extra 👍 is for Hank's 'City Poem' 👏

[Mello_me]

No offense to Bill Nye, but Hank Green is in so many places talking about so many things I wonder when hes going to surpass Bill in popularity.
I love them both but I've learned a lot more from Hank and I appreciate him.
I appreciate everyone on SciShow.

I would say home is where you feel most comfortable and keep your stuff, but let's face it there are many places that you normally wouldn't call home like the space station, a ship, etc. So I would basically say home is where you keep your stuff, and were you feel you can come back to.

i honestly mostly watch hanks videos here 😂 but if i see one i’m interested in it doesn’t matter who’s narrating, this channel is so helpful for me as a grade 11 student, and i have to do two science courses this year 😅 but i love science now!

Smart home? OMG, I really hope I never have to live in something so invasive!

From a section of a High school Geography textbook missing the front section does have this definition of various groups. From some other references in the book, it appears to have been written sometime in the 1930's. It gives no source for these definitions.

Homestead -- one or more isolated buildings with single family with 10 or more members.
Settlement -- A group of buildings with 15 to 50 people of three or more families.
Village -- Group of buildings with several families and a population between 30 and 250 people with some type of governing structure.
Town -- a collection of residences and businesses with a population between 200 and 2500 people and a governing structure.
City -- A town with a population between 2500 and one million people.
Metropolis -- a city with a population between one million and 10 million people.
Megalopolis -- a city with a population over 10 million people.

Still, I did like the parakeet who learned to order farts on Alexa, and it was put on the birb's shopping list.

[natashiastubblefield]

I feel like this was way more of what a home could be versus what a home actually is

[OniDragonSan]

I wasn’t expecting to hear Rhett and Link mentioned in this.

[bigchimpin]

Home is where I disrobe, wander around, and eat cheesecake concurrently.

[EyeLean]

So NASA learned it made mistakes in the way it treated the Skylab crew but it punished the astronauts anyway? Makes sense.

'Home is the place where, when you have to go there,

They have to take you in.’


‘I should have called it

Something you somehow haven’t to deserve.’

-Robert Frost, The Death of the Hired Man

[beratnabodhi]

"An Emense World" is a book by author Ed Yong that takes a deep look at how the light and noise pollution by humans affects the other creatures in the world around us.

[DasDuken]

We got almost a whole Tangents episode as a bonus! What a treat.

Home is a place where you can escape most of society's pressures. And also of course my home is not a home without my dog.

I grew up in a tiny village in north of NJ called New York City. But I went to a law school in the major metropolis that is the City of Lexington, VA. Lexington has a total population of 5, 000 people (presumably excluding Washington & Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute). But I also worked for a time in the Town of Colonie, NY that was larger than certain counties I've been in. Of course, most counties contain multiple towns, cities, and/or villages. LA County comes to mind. But New York City has 5 counties within its borders. But those counties are usually referred to as "boroughs." Manhattan is officially New York County, while Queens County and Bronx County are self explanatory. Richmond County is also known as Staten Island, while Kings County is also known as Brooklyn.

Home is where we can have the illusion of control over life.
