[TimeBucks]

his sense of humor is still as good as always

[SoCloseToToast]

Intro was the best psychological horror thriller I've seen in years. Thanks Mike

[pugalugs]

I love how the chair is just sitting there not debating it's existence

[Avis]

The teacher: Please, sit down on your chairs.
Vsauce:

[timondimare]

Michael: do chairs exist?
Michael 30 minutes later: I am death

[drawinglikeasir]

* sees title *
* Sees 37 minute runtime *
Whoo boy, here we go again

[bobdachair]

As a chair, I feel very offended by the fact my existence is questioned

[georgecarter]

No officer I didnt kill him, I just arranged his simples dead-wise.

[gyrotwist]

Other mammals: “Must get food to survive.”
Humans: “Do chairs exist?”

[momofcjmt]

“I am death, and I am the scattering”
Nice to see Michael’s slow evolution into an Eldritch God is proceeding apace.

[Wolfskullthewitch]

16:28 its like the corpse to water ratio

There are plenty of corpses in the ocean, but we still swim in them, yet if you put one in a pool, no one would swim in the pool. Therefore, everyone has a specific corpse:water ratio

[MartinPoulter]

I spent a total of eleven years as a philosophy student and got two degrees. This is by far the best explanation of ontology I've ever seen.

[SuperWiiBros]

never seen a more questioning and cryptic video title

[gokham]

Love the fact that a chair is most defined by "something to sit in" yet Michael sits on the floor next to the chair for the whole video.

[logangould]

Michael staring into the camera saying "I am death, I am the scattering." Is very Michael of him.

[Khafaji]

Love how there no context behind the title but i am ready for vsauce to convince me chairs don't exist...

[A-Classic-Blunder]

I love how the more complicated things get, the more informal their names are

[steventhehistorian]

'I AM death and I AM the scattering' - Michael Stevens

That is a badass quote.

[skinksies]

v sauce is genuinely one of the funniest youtubers, the way he just pulls out random things out of his shirt like it's normal, and the insane intros. i'm laughing while learning

[Saronite]

Two ontological antirealists walk into a bunch of atoms arranged bar-wise.
