Hearted Youtube comments on Extra History (@extrahistory) channel.

  1. I admit, I started to cry a little bit watching this. Seeing that Zoey has a wonderful furever home made me so happy.

  4. I’m very glad you covered this. In my personal reading I came to the choice of currently reading this book or Schindler’s list… I chose Schindler’s list. I will certainly read this book when I can

  5. Why do I have the feeling Dan had a nightmare trying to pronounce Soumaoro Kante while recording this episode? XD But seriously though, when I saw this in my recommendations I literally screamed for joy. The Mali Empire is my favorite historical empire, and I'm so glad that you're finally covering it. Fantastic work EC!

  6. Fun fact: rabbits can honk when extremely scared

  7. If I were to make a slight suggestion to your amendment draft, I'd say to make election day an election week rather than a holiday. After all, many people, especially in retail, work on holidays. Give people a week to vote, however, and you eliminate that problem altogether for a lot of people.

  8. Huh, I actually was raised a Seventh-Day Adventist and learned all about this in a bible history class. Didn't expect to hear about it here, haha!

  9. I cringed when he burned all those records. I get the sentiment, but that stuff is history! That stuff is worth preserving!

  10. "If they give my chair to that SOB Best I'll roll over in my grave" - said Banting, before dying and giving up the chair to Best Insert Palpatine

  11. I have dual citizenship, Brazilian and Italian, so Garibaldi is my dual hero.

  12. Philosophical question: If a measurement system is inaccurate, but it's the only option, is it bad? Is the utility of a system measured against other options, or against some objective standard? If the latter, what standard?

  13. I'm experiencing a hunger for Latin American and South American culture and history like never before. Between watching Encanto, planning a personal trip, and this series, my hunger just intensifies.

  14. Thank you, professor biker Jesus. You rock.

  15. Wow, to see what all edsel was put through and still was running the company, loved by everyone and even missed by his gone mad father, he mustve been a very strong man completely opposite of what Henry thought of him

  16. I love the theming used. It provides an extra bit of fun, and makes me want to come back just to achieve the next rank, though I am loving the history!
    436
  17. “How dare he try to stop their deep seated and wholesome tradition of celebrating the messiahs birth by getting utterly annihilated on cream drinks laced with cheap rock gut” Yeah how dare he! 🤣🤣

  18. A quick note, that may be lost in translation. The word "giants" is a weird translation, because the scandinavian words like Jætte or Jötun doesn't mean giants in that language. In truth the giants were not all,... well gigantic. Most were in fact the size of humans and are more alike to the orcs of middle-earth. EDIT: I want to mention @KendrixTermina who pointed something interesting out that I didn't know. I'll just quote him and be sure to give him a thumbs-up down in the thread: AFAIK It was a translation by a 19th century playwright who wanted to Allude to the ancient greek Gigantes, as in "Our stories are cool too!" IMHO "Titans" would have been a more apt equivalent, with how they're remnants of the primordial chaos that are fought by the younger gods who deserve representation and around a similar power level as those

  19. NAPOLEON JUMPSCARE???!! I thought I was free from his presence... 😨
    433
  20. British did not actually use pig and cow fat for their shot. It was a rumor started by local leaders because the British lowered their salary.
    432
  21. Honestly, I love this whole concept, and would adore it if you could do this for your entire backlog. A tad unreasonable, I know, but Extra History is a great way for me to pass the time while I'm washing dishes at my night job, but YouTube Autoplay doesn't always play what I want and individually selecting episodes I want can be a bit of a hassle. An hour long compilation is exactly what I need.

  22. "Hey, should we stop that guy who is stealing from us?" "Nah, let him be. He's naked, we don't want to embarrass him."

  23. I'm happy to see that criticism of this story is getting traction: there is no known case of lost children succumbing to their inner demons, but there are plenty of cases of lost people pulling together during crisis.

  24. Adam and Eve is not the sponsor I'd expect on this channel. That shocked me at first!

  25. Yet a cruel irony to that last part is that today's writers and filmmakers often portray science as being the instrument of our downfall. We venture into the vast limitless reaches of the stars, we find only horrid creatures who seek to devour us. We create new life in the form of a machine that can think, it becomes a murderous juggernaut bent on destroying us. We find the means to take control of the forces of nature, it ends in apocalyptic disaster. Scientific achievement was once portrayed in an optimistic fashion, now it seems to be something to fear as it can lead to sometimes lethal consequences.

  26. I think the 1% alcohol point is important contextually. You’d have to drink a lot fast to get sloppy, which I think is important to note when the common narrative was “everyone before coffee came to Europe was at least pretty tipsy all the time”

  27. It's a real sign of the times when you name a little kid as duke just so that they're less likely to try to seize the crown while you're out of town.

  29. This is why we need regulations. This is why unions exist. This is why workers need to be aggressive when it comes to their rights and protections. The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire wasn't the only or first catastrophe, it happened numerous times before and nothing was done about it because any means of addressing the dangers internally conflicted with the companies' bottom-line. Once society at large realized the risks people took everyday, and how mistreated they were by their employers, then and only then did the public put its foot down and forced legislation. That's the only way meaningful labor-reform can happen. I don't care if this unpopular to state or not, but most businesses, especially the large ones like Amazon, Walmart, and Google, don't care about their workers, and the situation is far, far, faaar worse in other parts of the world where people work now as people did at the time of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. Their comfort, livelihoods, and security is meaningless to them if it doesn't somehow enrich them. People need to be aware on how millions of people live and get by today, and how they could potentially improve.

  30. Hm. Reminds me of all that's happening with the gun control protests. As someone who tends to be in a constant state of anxiety over the apparent apathy and irrationality of humanity, this video gives me hope. Thank you for this.

  31. A story forever considered the gold standard of murder mystery novels 😊

  32. Heck snek was responsible for resolving the Cuban Missile Crises? The more you know!
    427
  33. Yeah, as a current WP cadet, this makes complete sense. I could see this still definitely being a thing today. Hell, during covid, there were the Printer Riots, where cadets would throw their printers off of roofs and down stairwells to protest covid restrictions. Even today, Christmas dinner here is absolutely crazy with singing, cigar smoking, dancing, running naked across The Plain, and climbing on top of George Washington's statue to touch his horse's balls. We've got some weird things that happen here, and I'd love to see you guys make more videos about our rock-bound highland home, which is definitely not a prison.
    426
  34. Yeah, the South was HORRENDOUSLY hypocritical. Edit: it still is, but you get the idea.
    426
  35. This could not have been more timely. I'm working on a personal project about Vikings. Thank you for posting this!

  36. 10:06 I BEG OF YOU TO COLLAB WITH Milo Rossi of MiniMinuteman channel sometime. He has an ENTIRE series titled Awful Archeology.

  37. EH: "Don't google it" Me: Don't tell me what to do! "Googles it" Also me: I regreat everything 😢

  38. I love that Shakespeare throws shade at his rival theater troupe during this play. "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." is a jab at the Rose Theatre which, according to some sources, had some sewage troubles.

  39. I don't think Julie can really be described as planning anything. The plans are too slow and can't keep up
    419
  40. The fact that this man lived into his early 90s without modern medicine is just astonishing
    418
  41. I'm kind of surprised at the people here mistaking a lot of what Genghis Khan did for communism. If dividing the loot to the men and destroying inefficient political systems that get in the way of military conquest is communism, than by that logic, literally many famous military leaders from Caesar to Napoleon would be communist. Dividing the loot and getting rid of old systems is really nothing new in history. This was especially common in the Roman Empire where Roman officers, after winning a battle or raiding a nearby settlement, would divide the loot among the soldiers, or in some Roman Emperors cases like Caesar, divide land to the soldiers. Not to mention the fact, that the Roman Empire is literally a history of reforms and overthrowing previous governments.

  42. I'm Navajo and I'm fully aware of this ugly system that has affected all native american cultures and to this day as a result of this system our cultures are at the risk of dying out, because the only people left practicing our cultures are the elderly but they're starting to die out especially thanks to the covid-19 pandemic. But there are a few members of the younger generation who are trying to learn about their heritage so they can practice their traditions themselves including me. At a young age I was unaware of my tribe's culture and traditions I didn't even know I was Navajo until I was 10 but since those years since I found out that I was a Navajo I decated the last 8 years of my life into learning more about my culture and heritage. And to this day I still have a lot to learn, I'm passionate about it even if it comes at a cost for example the first thing I did after learning about my heritage is to stop cutting my hair as it was tradition for men to have long hair but now that I have long hair as a result I suffered discrimination in school I even got it trouble with the teachers because of it and I only got away with it when I told them I was protected by the 1st amendment of the U.S. constitution. I just graduated a week ago and even though I'll have a long and difficult path ahead me I'll be proud of it no matter what.

  43. The most glorious of mustaches...

  44. Let's not forget one of the biggest influences of Scandinavia on the English language, most of the names of weekdays.
    415
  45. Giving your significant other a bouquet of Tulips is very romantic. Giving your significant other a bouquet of NFTs is…let’s say significantly less romantic.

  46. People victims of bigotry can be and many times are bigots. Suffering doesn't happens just to good people.

  47. While Dr Frankenstein seems to be depicted as having immense hubris for playing God, from everything said here it seems like the only flaw in his creation was cosmetic. The "monster" (for lack of a better term) was strong, kind, and brilliant. A plastic surgeon's touch up could make a superior being. As he was, little more care in his upbringing and perhaps introducing him to a more enlightened group of people, and this monster might have been a professor. In fact, it might be interesting to see a fan version where the monster wasn't shunned by his creator and was introduced gradually to learned men. If Frankenstein's monster was a success, save for some aesthetic issues and some depression, wouldn't there be those interested in reproducing his work? Rulers might want giants that could be educated in under a year for their armies. Others, especially the church, would probably consider this an abomination. But making a better man wasn't the most interesting application of this research. If this reanimation process could be modified to bring back a dead person with their own mind and memories intact, then perhaps death could be truly conquered.

  48. This relationship is worse than getting eating by your spiderdemongirlfriend.

  49. Judging from the first minute Frankenstein sounds like he would make a great book reviewer.

  50. I'm sure the sword is pretty dandy and all, but we know it can't hold a candle to the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog.
