The Bubbling Tale of Who Invented the Lava Lamp Today I Found Out 2024-05-26 | Has there ever been a piece of home decor that more perfectly encapsulates an era than the Lava Lamp? An icon of the psychedelic and hippie movements of the 1960s and 70s, this mesmerizing tube of undulating, brightly-coloured blobs is the perfect mood-setting accessory for when you just want to lay back in your bean bag chair, consume an illegal substance - or two - strum a few lines of your new protest song, and just groove, man. Given the lamp’s indelible association with the counterculture, it is perhaps unsurprising that its inventor was something of a cultural rebel himself - though not in the way you might think. And while the lava lamp might seem like a purely aesthetic object with no practical applications, today this psychedelic device performs a vital service that helps keep the internet safe and secure. So turn on, tune in, and drop out as we dive into the groovy history of the Lava Lamp. Author: Gilles MessierEditor: Daven HiskeyHost: Simon WhistlerProducer: Caden Nielsen

That Time a City Randomly Blew Up (And Drilling a 14 Inch Hole Accidentalleed a HUGE Saltwater Lake) Today I Found Out 2024-05-22 | There have been no small number of rather bizarre accidents from humans humaning, everything from that time the City of Boston almost literally drowned in molasses to how humans drilling a 14 inch hole accidentally created a 1,300-foot deep saltwater lake out of a formerly 10-Foot deep freshwater one (more on this hilarious event in the Bonus Facts later.) But yet another curious such event was that time a rather large portion of the Reforma district of Guadalajara, Mexico just up and exploded one day for reasons...

Shadows of Power: The Corrupt Bargain That Changed History and What Really Happened Today I Found Out 2024-05-18 | This video is #sponsored by the City of Quincy. To discover more about Quincy, check out the link - discoverquincy.comIn 1824, the United States was emerging from the period of the so-called “Era of Good Feelings” during the James Monroe Presidency where there was a relative de-emphasis on party politics thanks to the Democratic-Republican Party more or less existing unchallenged during this time. But the good feelings were about to be gone, and a new era was rising where party politics would be tripled down on giving us the seeds of modern day politicking. On the one side was the decidedly hot tempered Andrew Jackson who had only 18 years before illegally killed a man in cold blood for calling him a “worthless scoundrel, ... a poltroon and a coward” but got away with it because, the past everybody. More on this in the Bonus Facts later. An orphan and perceived to be a man of the people, Jackson stood in stark contrast to the presidential candidates of yore in the country who largely came from either elite backgrounds or were groomed into politics from a young age. Speaking of that, on the other side was John Quincy Adams. Quite literally groomed from childhood to become President someday, with his father, one-time President John Adams even writing to a young John Quincy Adams in 1794, “You come into Life with Advantages which will disgrace you, if your success is médiocre.— And if you do not rise to the head not only of your Profession but of your Country it will be owing to your own Laziness Slovenliness and Obstinacy.” Yet a rather curious thing happened during the election of 1824. Andrew Jackson would go on to win not just the popular vote, but the electoral college, with Adams finishing well behind him on both in second place. And yet Adams, the inside man with friends in high places, was made President and Jackson nearly a footnote to history… That is, until an anonymous letter was published in the Philadelphia Columbian Observer that claimed Adams had made a secret deal with the speaker of the House Henry Clay such that if Clay would use his influence on the House to make him President, Adams would, in turn, make Clay the Secretary of State. For context here, at the time, Secretary of State was the defacto office to have if one wanted to themselves become President someday. In fact, after the first and second Presidents in George Washington and John Adams, every President up to this 1824 election had previously served as the Secretary of State, and it was also the position John Quincy Adams presently held when he ran for President in this election.What followed was a scandal that changed the course of United States history, helping to see Adams’ Presidency be largely ineffective and Henry Clay’s formerly insanely bright prospects at the nation’s highest office dashed, with his reputation among the general public forever sullied then and still pretty much to this day. This also saw Andrew Jackson’s star shining even brighter, with the scandal helping the otherwise largely unqualified and remarkably unstable Jackson to dethrone Adams in the next election.But did the supposed bastion of puritanical ethics and rigidly moral to a fault John Quincy Adams, who very publicly vehemently opposed the spoils system, to the point that he even retained many officials in his administration from the previous who actively opposed and thwarted some of his efforts as President, truly throw off his normal extreme and well documented precepts and morals in his quest for the Presidency by making such a shady deal to rob the people of the United States of their chosen President? Or was the whole thing just a 19th century viral conspiracy theory that blew up to change the course of history? Well let’s dive into it, shall we, because this one is super fascinating.Author: Daven HiskeyHost: Daven HiskeyProducer: Samuel Avila
Did Hitler Murder His Niece? Today I Found Out 2024-05-16 | ✅ Support our work by getting Fishing Clash on your iOS/Android device for free: https://fishingclash.link/TodayIFoundOut ! Also be sure and use our gift code TODAYIFOUNDOUT to get a $20 reward, and share your biggest catch.As we’ve previously covered in our video What was Hitler Like as a Child?, Adolf Hitler had in some ways a rather nice childhood, centering around an upper-middle class lifestyle and all the opportunities and niceties that entails. But on the other hand, he was regularly severely abused as a child by his alcoholic father, who also regularly abused Hitler’s mother. Needless to say, Hitler didn’t exactly have the best role model for good, healthy relationships. And it gets worse. For example, his father, Alois, seemingly lived by the work credo of every store shelf stocker of “see a hole, fill a hole” when it came to women, whether he was in a relationship already or not. For example, Hitler’s mother, Klara, was not only his father’s third marriage but became his father’s mistress while still married to the second wife, and possibly before when he was married to his first wife. Just to give you a very brief synopsis on this one, Klara, who was Alois’ niece or cousin depending on who his father was (this isn’t clear), was 16 when she found herself working for Alois when he was still married to his first wife. Later, she was fired when his future second wife, but current mistress, demanded he get rid of the servant girl owing to her jealousy of her. However, once wife #2 got sick with tuberculosis, Klara was re-hired as a housekeeper and caretaker for Alois and wife #2’s children. At this point, and as noted possibly before, Alois was apparently like “Don’t mind if I do!” and began sleeping with his niece/cousin, who got pregnant with the couple’s first child, Gustav, right around when wife #2 died. Alois could have made a fortune on reality TV.From all this, it may not be a total surprise that Hitler’s later love life was reportedly… a little abnormal, and not what anyone, even many in his day, would call healthy. Which brings us to the topic of today- Hitler’s niece, Angela “Geli” Raubal, who for a couple years there he more or less kept virtually imprisoned in his home as his mistress, and also had some rather interesting kinks tied up in all that that quite disturbed her. And then, suddenly, just after an alleged heated argument between the pair, Geli was writing a pleasant letter to a friend in Vienna about an upcoming get-together, when she inexplicably stopped writing mid-word and shot herself with one of Hitler’s guns... By all accounts, Hitler was out of town when she did this. But let’s just say even reporters in the country at the time found the entire thing suspicious and accused Hitler of murdering his niece or driving her to her suicide with his behavior. So, did the future Fuhrer kill his beloved niece, or was she just one of a string of Hitler’s lovers (according to a report done by the the predecessor to the CIA, 6 known women) who suddenly decided they didn’t want to continue breathing, leading up to his last lover in Eva Braun who ended her life by his side. Well, let’s dive into it all, shall we?

Touching the Void: The Story of the Space Jet Pack Today I Found Out 2024-05-11 | On February 7, 1984, 370 kilometres above the earth, NASA astronaut Bruce McCandless II floated into the payload bay of the Space Shuttle Challenger and prepared to make history. Strapped to his back was a bulky device resembling a futuristic chair, known as the Manned Maneuvering Unit or MMU. As he gently touched the joysticks on the twin armrests, jets of nitrogen gas propelled him out of the payload bay and out into the void. In that moment, McCandless achieved the ultimate dream of every astronaut, becoming the first human in history to fly freely and untethered outside the safety of a spacecraft. Rocket packs are a staple of science fiction, allowing heroes and villains alike to zip around freely both in space and on the ground - indeed, where would the Mandalorians in Star Wars be without them? Today, however, Extravehicular Activities or EVAs - AKA “spacewalks” - are always performed with the astronauts safely tethered to their spacecraft. But wouldn’t a space jetpack give them greater mobility? Why aren’t devices like the MMU used anymore? Well, strap into your chair and let’s dive into it all shall we? This is the long and fascinating history of the space jet pack.

In the process, they cross paths with a parallel British mission and a revenge plot by a French Jewish woman and succeed in gunning down Adolf Hitler and most of the Nazi high command in a burning French theatre. Ridiculous Hollywood nonsense, right? Well, not as much as you might think for not only did Allied Intelligence actually concoct a plan - dubbed Operation Foxley - to assassinate Hitler, but they also recruited a large number of Jewish refugees to conduct secret operations behind enemy lines. And by far the most successful of these, carried out in the dying days of the war, succeeded in saving thousands of lives and a key Austrian city from unnecessary destruction. This is the story of Operation Greenup, the real-life Inglourious Basterds. Author: Gilles MessierHost: Simon WhistlerEditor: Daven HiskeyProducer: Samuel Avila

Most Everything You Know About Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison is Probably Wrong Today I Found Out 2024-05-01 | Head to Squarespace.com for a free trial, and when you’re ready to launch, go to http://squarespace.com/BRAINFOOD to save 10% off on your first purchase of a website/domain using the code BRAINFOODFor most of history between the point Nikola Tesla and Thomas Alva Edison were respectively doing their things to the present day, if you asked just about anyone which of these men were greater, you’d likely have gotten a response akin to “Nikola who? …I mean, Edison of course? He and God gave us light!” That said, if you asked someone when both were in their prime, you may have gotten a more mixed answer with, contrary to popular belief, Tesla in his day one of the most preeminent celebrity scientists in the world along with Edison. At least until extremely modern times when the internet masses have jumped on the Nikola Tesla hype train and generally vilified Edison as nothing but a charlatan, and someone largely responsible for Tesla’s fall from grace. But what is the truth here? Were either or even potentially both nothing but media hyping narcissists taking credit for others’ work? Were either or potentially both actually great men of history? What is the story between them and why are they so often compared? And overall, which one was actually a greater cog in the human technological advancement machine? And before you go answering this in the comments based on your current knowledge of the pair, let us caution you because in the history of researching and writing on all manner of topics to the tune of over 5,000 articles on our Todayifoundout website and over 2,000 videos here, we have never found any topic we’ve covered more rife with widespread and generally accepted myths when it came to BOTH the individuals we are going to cover today.

Located in the Marshall Islands chain 3,000 kilometres southwest of Hawaii, the atoll consists of 23 coral islands surrounding a central lagoon 30 kilometres wide. For thousands of years Bikini was home to a few hundred Marshallese islanders, who sustained themselves by fishing and cultivating coconuts. In 1885 the atoll was annexed by the German Empire, who used it as a production hub for coconut oil. Then, in 1914, the Empire of Japan - at that time part of the Entente Powers - captured the Marshall Islands from the Germans and in 1920 was awarded the chain by the League of Nations as part of their South Seas Mandate. In 1941, following the outbreak of the Second World War in the Pacific, Japanese troops occupied Bikini in order to protect the nearby - and strategically vital - Kwajalein Atoll. Bikini remained in Japanese hands until February 1944 when, after fierce fighting, American forces recaptured Kwajalein. By this time, the garrison on Bikini consisted of only five men, who all chose to commit suicide by hand grenade rather than surrender. And there the story might have ended, with Bikini remaining just another coral speck among hundreds in the gruelling American island-hopping campaign. But in December 1945, less than four months after the Japanese surrender, a decision was made that would catapult this once-obscure ring of islands into the global spotlight. While it was clear to all that the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 had forever changed modern warfare, what was less clear was how exactly it had changed. As the Second World War gave way to the Cold War, military strategists began to wonder how best to use this awesome new weapon. Could it be deployed tactically on the battlefield, or was it only good for destroying civilian centres? And what kinds of targets was it most effective against? Particularly concerned about its role in the nascent atomic age was the U.S. Navy, which resented the Army Air Force’s monopoly on the delivery of nuclear weapons. The Air Force, meanwhile, argued that naval ships were extremely vulnerable to nuclear attack, and that the advent of such weapons had effectively made navies obsolete.

The Weapons of World War 2 (Part 2) Today I Found Out 2024-04-14 | In the video today we're looking at World War 2's slightly absurd secret weapons and the Japanese battleship with guns that weighed more than entire American battleships. Moving on from there we cover the Russian KV Tanks that were so tough they literally would take out anti-tank guns by driving over them. Next up we do a dive into the German space shuttle, that time Germany teamed up with IBM for mass murder, the insane way British pilots would take out one of Germany's greatest weapons, the German designed, one man spherical tank, the Russian flying tank, the sad story of the exploding anti-tank dogs, the forgotten metal can that made Blitzkrieg possible and ultimately won WWII for the Allies when they stole it, the tiny submarine that changed the course of WWII, and the bizarre fake army that defeated the Axis. Next up a flying adventure looking at the insanely amazing story of the Night Witches, followed up by another flying adventure looking at if planes actually scream when they dive. Finally, we look at the pivotal WWII gun that you'd never want to put down... Because of its propensity to accidentally fire when you did so.0:00 WWII’s Most Absurd ‘Secret Weapons’16:37 The Japanese Battleship with Guns that Weighed More than Entire American Battleships... 25:43 Driving Over Anti Tank Guns: The Remarkable Russian KV Tanks31:34 The Nazi Space Shuttle45:38 How the Nazis Teamed Up with IBM for Mass Murder (And How the First Ethical Hacker Fought Back) 1:01:57 A Wingtip and a Prayer: the Insane Way British Pilots Defeated Germany’s Secret Weapon 1:19:47 The Mysterious Kugelpanzer: The German Designed, One Man Spherical Tank 1:25:26 That Time the Russians Built a Literal Flying Tank1:29:10 The Exploding Anti-Tank Dogs of World War II 1:34:56 The Forgotten Metal Can That Made Blitzkrieg Possible and Ultimately Won WWII When Allies Stole It 1:42:00 The Midget Submarine That Changed the Course of WWII 2:00:16 The Bizarre Story of the Massive Fake Army That Defeated the Nazis and Helped End WWII 2:23:42 With a Pistol and a Prayer- The Incredible Story of The Night Witches 2:37:21 Do Airplanes Actually “Scream” as They Dive as Commonly Depicted in Hollywood Films? 2:51:11 The Pivotal WWII Gun That Nobody Wanted to Put Down: The Plumber's Nightmare

Injecting People with Cancer Without Their Consent Today I Found Out 2024-04-10 | Controversial research programs, unethical experimentation, and human trials have been part of the medical field for centuries. The more infamous recent examples of wayward science include widespread eugenics sterilization, Nazis Nazi-ing, similar rampant Japanese experimentation during WWII which the U.S. happily let literally everyone off for in exchange for the data, electroshock therapy, ionizing radiation experiments, the CIA program MKULTRA, and the U.S. government sponsored Tuskegee syphilis experiments, which we’ll get to in the Bonus Facts later. Moving on to cancer, typically when physicians are looking to find potential paths to cure people of various types of cancer, they’ll use tried and true methods proven to help in the aggregate towards this end. Other times, they’ll use new and experimental procedures that may help, or may do nothing, but generally trying to avoid doing harm. In all cases in most of the developed world, they’ll explain what they are going to do, and then ask for consent from their patient or their guardian or the like before administering any treatment regardless of what it is. But this is a relatively modern idea and in the wild west days of medicine that are just barely in our rearview mirror, few things were off the table, whether a given patient consented to something or not. This is the story of the eventual head of the American Cancer Society, Dr. Chester Southam, and his quest to see what would happen if he injected people, from healthy to terminal, with cancer. Along the way we’ll also be looking at whether it’s possible to catch cancer from another human, the cancers in certain animals that are spread directly via contact, even in one odd case to a human, and give yet another reason why mosquitoes should be eradicated from the Earth. But before all that, our story today begins in 1963 at the Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. Enter the aforementioned Dr. Chester Southam, who, at the time, was working at the Sloan‐Kettering Institute for Cancer Research and Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases. While there, for about a decade, Dr. Southam had been experimenting with injecting people with cancer without their informed consent… He had gotten away with it up to this point. But that was about to end thanks to what happened at the Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital...Author: Daven HiskeyHost: Simon WhistlerProducer: Samuel Avila0:00 Injecting People with Cancer7:50 Can Humans Catch Cancer Directly From Others and the Real World Contagious Cancers16:15 Spreading Cancer By Mosquitoes and the Mosquito Hypothesis for Human Cancer19:18 One Cell to Rule Them All21:48 The Past was the Worst.
The Forgotten European Pearl Harbor That Laid the Blueprint for Pearl Harbor Today I Found Out 2024-04-06 | Air raid sirens blared and curtains of tracer rounds rose into the sky as the ominous drone of aircraft engines grew ever closer. Suddenly, a flight of enemy aircraft swooped low over the sleeping anchorage, unleashing their deadly cargo of torpedoes and bombs onto an unsuspecting fleet. All around, geysers of water and flame erupted into the air, lighting up the harbour in infernal shades of yellow and orange. Anti-aircraft gunners desperately filled the air with a hail of steel and explosives, but still the aircraft kept coming. In little more than an hour, it was all over. When the smoke finally cleared, three mighty battleships - the pride of the fleet - lay at bottom of the harbour.While this scene might sound familiar, it did not take place on December 7, 1941 in Hawaii. The ships were not American but Italian, and the attacking aircraft not Japanese but British. On November 11, 1940, more than a year before America’s Day of Infamy, the Royal Navy launched the first-ever carrier airstrike against an enemy fleet at anchorage, attacking the Italian Navy’s home port of Taranto. The raid forever changed naval warfare, heralding the ascendancy of the aircraft carrier and setting the blueprint for a later, more well-known surprise attack. This is the story of Operation Judgement, Italy’s forgotten Pearl Harbor. Author: Gilles MessierEditor: Daven HiskeyHost: Simon WhistlerProducer: Samuel Avila

The Real Story of Capturing an Ice Fortress with a Badass James Bond Film Device Today I Found Out 2024-03-30 | In May 1961, a U.S. Navy aircraft was flying a routine submarine patrol over the Arctic Ocean when it spotted something unusual on the pack ice below: a small cluster of plywood buildings. This was the remains of the Soviet drifting ice station NP-9, hastily abandoned when an ice ridge began destroying the station’s runway. This discovery immediately piqued the interest of U.S. Naval Intelligence, who recognized the abandoned station as a potential intelligence bonanza. But how to get to it? Floating nearly 1,000 kilometres from the nearest American military base at Thule, Greenland, NP-9 was beyond the range of any helicopter and could not be reached by icebreakers before the ice beneath it broke up and melted. Fixed wing aircraft could reach the station and drop men by parachute, but then there was the matter of recovering them afterward. Thankfully, the Navy had a trick up its sleeve, a gadget so outlandish it looked like something straight out of a James Bond movie - and indeed would later be featured in one: the Fulton Surface-to-Air Recovery System. This is the story of Project COLDFEET, one of the most badass intelligence missions of the Cold War.Author Gilles MessierHost: Simon WhistlerEditor: Daven HiskeyProducer: Samuel Avila

To discover more about Quincy, check out the link - discoverquincy.comYour Majesty, Caesar, King, Emperor, Lord Protector, Excellency, Duke, these are only a handful of monikers given to leaders of nations throughout history. Picking from such official titles and honorifics to apply to one’s own leader when forming a new nation would seem rather straightforward… However, in a budding nation that vehemently rejected just about anything that was associated with the old world and its forms of government, deciding what to call their leader was anything but straightforward, and at one point brought the U.S. Senate to a screeching halt right from their earliest sessions. This is the fascinating, and mildly humorous, story of how the U.S. President got his then rather unique and extremely humble moniker amongst leaders of nations.

However, while some have such perceptions of these libraries, it turns out there is vastly more to them than many people realize, and the more distant we become to the eras these leaders lived in, the more and more valuable the Presidential libraries become to our understanding of history and our own evolution as a society, and as humans because of what they contain in an absolute treasure trove of materials- where it’s not an exaggeration to say that a newly minted college graduate historian could enter a given Presidential Library one day, spend the next five decades of their career inside, and only scratch the surface of what that single library holds that no other institution in the world has.

Thank you Squarespace for sponsoring this video.The City of London -a one-square-mile enclave on the north bank of the River Thames, is the oldest borough in the UK capital -and one of the strangest. Though surrounded by and part of the sprawling metropolis known as Greater London, the City of London is in fact its own, semi-independent ceremonial county, with its own police force and governing body -the City of London Corporation. This city-within-a-city even has its own separate leader, the Lord Mayor of London, who holds traditional powers and privileges more than a thousand years old and is, unlike the regular Mayor of London, answerable only to the Sovereign. As the cultural and financial centre of London and the UK, the City is home to many of the capital’s most iconic buildings including St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Old Bailey courthouse as well as the headquarters of major financial institutions such as the Bank of England, the London Stock Exchange, and insurer Lloyd’s of London. In more recent years, however, the City has become famous -and sometimes infamous -for its collection of uniquely-designed skyscrapers, many of which have acquired suitably whimsical nicknames. These include 52 Lime Street -AKA “The Scalpel”; 122 Leadenhall Street -AKA “The Cheese Grater”; and 30 St. Mary Axe -AKA “The Gherkin.” While some have praised these structures for their architectural innovation, others have condemned them for spoiling the skyline of the ancient city. But whatever your opinion on the aesthetic merits of contemporary architecture, I think we can all agree that when a building starts inflicting property damage on the surrounding neighbourhood, something has gone horribly wrong. Such was the case with20 Fenchurch Street AKA the “Walkie-Talkie”, which midway through its construction transformed,supervillain-lair-style into a giant car-melting death ray. This is the story of London’s most controversial skyscraper.Author: Gilles MessierHost: Simon WhistlerEditor: Daven HiskeyProducer: Samuel Avila

Common Things Different in Europe vs. the United States Today I Found Out 2024-03-04 | Ah America, filled with gun toting rednecks wearing their flag as a t-shirt and pondering what Jesus would do while chowing down on Mexican food, greasy burgers, partially hydrogenated corn syrup cubes, and washing it all down with Budweiser, the king of beers… for those who’ve never tasted real beer… And Europe, full of a homogeneous group of people who spend most of their time measuring things in meters instead of Ariana Grandes as every god-fearing individual should, whilst worshiping the British monarchy, rioting about football, mocking Americans and their inferior chocolates and cheeses, and otherwise bent on making sure the entire world becomes socialist… Or, at least, so the interwebs have taught us all. But what are the actual interesting differences between people and things in the surprisingly diverse United States compared with the various individuals in the vastly more diverse countries of Europe?

Mermaids and the Bizarre Tale of One of the Fastest Extinctions in Modern History Today I Found Out 2024-02-26 | If ever there was a poster child for human-caused extinction, it was the Dodo. This odd-looking flightless bird, native to the remote island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, was first encountered by Dutch sailors in 1598. Barely six decades later, the Dodo was all but extinct, wiped out by hungry sailors and invasive species like rats and pigs brought along. Indeed, so swift was the Dodo’s demise that for more than a hundred years many scientists refused to believe the bird had ever existed at all. But when it comes to modern extinctions, few can compare in sheer brutal swiftness to that of a large, docile marine mammal that once plied the cold northern waters of the Bering Strait. Discovered in 1741, the gentle giant was almost immediately hunted to oblivion. This is the tragic story of Steller’s Sea Cow.

The Adorable Stretch Today I Found Out 2024-02-24 | According to famed entomologists Derek Wragge Morley, who studied ants for the better part of his professional career (and before, beginning at 14 years old, including publishing his first academic paper on ants at the tender age of 16), ants stretch just like humans when they wake up and also look like they’re yawning too.
Hermione Today I Found Out 2024-02-23 | J.K. Rowling slightly based 11-year-old Hermione on herself at the same age. She even made Hermione’s patronus her favorite animal, an otter. The otter wasn’t just a good choice because of Rowling’s preference, but also because the otter is a member of the weasel family. Further, Ron’s patronus is a Jack Russel Terrier, which were bred to help in hunting fox’s, groundhogs, badgers, and other animals that live in underground dens, including river otters.
What is the Safest Seat on an Airplane? Today I Found Out 2024-02-22 | Ah hurtling through the air in a device made of several million parts in a portion of the Earth where the temperature generally sits at -40 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit and there isn’t enough oxygen or atmospheric pressure to keep you alive. All the while a rather complex combination of a controlled explosion and rapidly spinning parts is both providing the oxygen you’re breathing, initially at 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius (more on this in the Bonus Facts later), while it also propels you along at hundreds of miles per hour in order to defeat gravity’s deathly pull. In the meantime, some smiling individual serves you a tasty beverage and a little bag of pretzels. As you go through turbulence and see the wings of your plane bending back and forth at upwards of 7 meters of flex at the tips, you may find yourself rethinking your life choices. But while all the factors that go into asserting dominance over gravity and distance may make it seem bonkers that this is a practically feasible mode of transportation, as I think most are aware, outside of riding an elevator, which is arguably the safest way to travel, there really isn’t much of a safer way out there to get from point A to point B than large commercial aircraft, not even walking. That said, commercial aviation accidents still do happen. So, if you do ever find yourself in such, what is the safest seat on the airplane for you to be sitting in order to reduce the odds of being injured or dying? And what other ways can you ensure you’re as least likely as possible to cease to exist on a plane if it ever plummets from the sky while you’re sitting in it? Well, put your tray tables and seatbacks in their upright position, fasten your safety belt, and let’s nose dive into it all, shall we? And further look at a rather crazy incident in 2012 in Mexico in which the pilots deliberately parachuted out of a Boeing 727, which then plummeted towards the Earth afterward.Author: Daven HiskeyHost: Simon WhistlerProducer: Samuel Avila0:00 Intro1:35 How Bonkersly Safe Commercial Passenger Aviation Has Become10:25 Safest Seat on the Plane24:20 Other Ways to Maximize Odds to Survive a Plane Crash29:40 Bonus Facts: How the Engines Provide the Oxygen You’re Breathing31:23 First Ever Person Killed in a Plane Crash32:40 Human Sardines36:32 90 Seconds39:03 Eternal Sleep

Now You Know Today I Found Out 2024-02-20 | The word “droid” is a registered trademark of Lucasfilm Ltd. Shortly before Verizon launched their “DROID” line of mobile devices, Lucasfilm Ltd. swept in and filed a trademark on October 9, 2009 for the term. As a result of this, Verizon had to pay Lucasfilm Ltd. an undisclosed sum for the rights to use this word as a brand name. And if you’re wondering, the word “droid” is just an aphesis form of “android”, a word that’s been around since at least the 1700s. The first documented mention of “android” is in the Ephraim Chambers’ Cyclopedia, “Albertus Magnus is recorded as having made a famous androides”. Android derives from the Greek ὰνδρο (andro-), meaning “man”, and the suffix -ειδῄς (-eides), meaning “form, likeness, appearance, or resemblance”; hence the definition of android being “automaton resembling a human being."

Silent Seas: The Top Secret, Greatest Cold War Naval Espionage Mission Today I Found Out 2024-02-16 | Check out Squarespace: http://squarespace.com/BRAINFOOD for 10% off on your first purchase of a website/domain using the code BRAINFOOD . Thank you Squarespace for sponsoring this video.If ever there was an ultimate weapon of war, it would have to be the nuclear submarine. For more than 60 years, ballistic missile-armed submarines have prowled the world’s oceans, ready to unleash nuclear armageddon at a moment’s notice. Meanwhile, fast attack boats track and stalk the missile-armed ‘boomers’, the two rivals locked in a shadowy game of cat-and-mouse deep beneath the waves. But while nuclear deterrence is the modern submarine’s most famous mission, it is far from the only one. Throughout the Cold War and into the present day, these vessels have served as the eyes and ears of the Navy, using stealth and guile to perform covert reconnaissance of enemy shores. And perhaps the most daring and successful such feat of naval espionage took place in the early 1970s, when a U.S. Navy submarine snuck into a Soviet naval base to tap an underwater communications cable. This is the extraordinary story of Operation Ivy Bells. This video is #sponsored by Squarespace.
