What If Earth Started Rotating Backwards Right Now?

Subreddit is moderated by Oliver Bourdouxhe

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 :)
