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

  1. Bit of a missed opportunity here: beer brands have some of the oldest trademarks, registered and otherwise, in the world. Pilsner is possibly the oldest registered trademark, dating from 1859. Bass Ale is the UK’s first registered trademarks from 1876.

  2. My day just got ten thousand times better. First, my day was horribly. Recently broke my right arm during a sled incident. And now, that Extra History posted, I feel way better!

  4. Hi, my name is Melanie and I am completing my dissertation study on video game preferences and different experiences you may have while playing video games. I have been a longtime fan of the Extra Credits channel and I would really appreciate your input to help better understand video game habits! The survey takes about eight minutes to complete and is available at the link below: https://forms.gle/CDjmRNCZXmJeJBk3A

  8. thank you so much for doing this video!! there aren't many videos about historical bisexuals, especially as far back as this, and I loved hearing about someone like me living their best life (kinda)

  9. I love those myths that explain natural events

  10. "That's a face only a sword could love" is something I'll be adding to my own repertoire for sure :D.

  13. You know what is also an act of irony? That around century later (1772-1795) Austrian Habsburgs took part in the dismembering of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, some gratitude there. Also, the famous wings of the Polish Hussars were most likely one of many Ottoman influences on the PLC, being inspired by the Ottoman "Deli" cavalry units. BTW the notion that those wings were making noise scaring enemy's horses, or had any real function besides looking cool is being contested by modern experts (like Radosław Sikora). Another fun fact; PLC while viewing itself with pride as the "Bulwark of Christianity" (specifically the Catholicism) was also pretty tolerant for that time, not only in regard to other Christian denominations and the large Jewish community but even the relatively small but well established Muslim one - the so-called Lipka Tatars. Who btw traditionally served in the light cavalry, so yes, there were actually some Muslims fighting on the "Christian side" in this battle.

  15. Suda was the designer that taught me games could be weird. Not in the Mario "I'm stomping on turtles" type of weird, but the Killer 7 "Punk-rock-ultra-violence as social commentary" type of weird. This interview was hard to edit due to all the translating so it's a bit out of date at this point, but it was a blast to get to talk to him and playing Let It Die brought to mind just how passionate he is about everything. So in service of the weird, here it is. -JP (And check out Silver Case if you want to see Suda's early work or go play Let It Die if you want to see exactly what I mean by punk rock ultra violence..!)

  17. I've always wondered about Hypatia for a while! I'm so excited for this series, but mainly for Nick's art.

  18. In Canada, every provincial government and the federal government have an elections agency that is non-partisan. It's part of the bureaucracy and its job is to draw electoral boundaries every decade and run the election. We have one week of advanced voting, vote-by-mail, and you can register to vote online with a photo of your ID (which pretty much everyone has because of our healthcare cards are a form of ID). Also felons can vote, even if they are in jail. Because the right to vote is universal based on citizenship, age, and nothing else.

  19. How appropriate and festive. After all, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without Mrs. Baddeley's plum pudding!

  20. I'm surprised Netflix hasn't made a film about this yet💀

  21. When I hear "This is going to be fun" about any period of chinese history, I already can smell the blood coming...

  22. I wonder how conventionally western genres could change if presented to and interpreted by non western artists? Much in the same way the detective changed when transitioning from Britain to America.

  23. Okay, just to get this clear because I'm not sure I fully do... The Mongols were composed of different tribes, but they were all considered Mongols, the Tatars were another steppe people but weren't considered Mongol. Did they have their own tribe? Did they just get absorbed into the general Mongol population after this event?

  25. Sidenote on the Dutch East India Company (VOC) & Indonesia, compared to the Mughals & India, that I was surprised you guys didn't mention out: The situation in Indonesia of 17th century was far more easy to be dealt with compared to India at that time, since the Mughals were at their height of the power. Meanwhile in Indonesia there were numerous smaller Islamic kingdoms that were just starting to rise after the chaotic 16th century. The 1500s saw the demise of both Majapahit Empire (that EC did a series couple of years ago!) and Malacca Sultanate (which was upended by the Portuguese). If Majapahit or Malacca wasn't destroyed, the Dutch might have also encountered a similar situation to what the Europeans faced in India: Forced to sign one-sided trade deals with a local hegemonic power, instead of leveraging their trade power and pitting small local kingdoms against each other.

  26. This is single-handedly the best video ever posted on this channel and that’s saying a lot

  27. I love the Extra Content, can you maybe keep it on screen a little longer? I find myself constantly pausing and going back. Thanks.

  28. I think it'd be nice if, in future Mythology Matters segments, you peeps went deeper on what some of the seemingly bonkers details of some myths may represent to their original cultures, even if only on a symbolic sense. Didn't someone comment, for example, on how the things that Izanagi threw at the Shikome actually have some symbolic meaning at Shinto?

  29. Wow the art is really upgrading

  32. Based on the tone I'm not sure if I'm repeating common knowledge, but Sleeping Sickness isn't a faulty old diagnosis, it's actually a communicable disease formally known as African trypanosomiasis spread by mosquitoes in Africa. That doesn't necessarily change that he was likely assassinated, but it was at least a legitimate disease to die of. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_trypanosomiasis

  33. When thinking about island riches, we think of spices, sugar, exotic fruits and the like. But perhaps, the most important of all island riches are the ones in us all. (Islets of Langerhans)

  34. Irony is so delicious at times.

  35. I find Ibn's frustration with how Malian Islam isn't 100% on the letter to be pretty amusing. It's actually pretty interesting. Almost everywhere else in the world, Islam was spread by the sword, and so was enforced from the top down by the Pious Conquerors. Since Mali essentially got to adopt Islam on its own terms, they created this unique combination that preserved important aspect of their own culture, and that's honestly really cool.

  37. "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" and in a sense, John Brown's crusade was brought to the south by Sherman and his famous, or infamous "March to the sea"

  38. This is hands-down the most adorable and emotional video I’ve ever seen. Cheers to the end of our chaotic 2021… And here’s hoping that 2022 is just as good, if not better.

  39. No joke, "Gasoline Wagon" sounds a cool name for the first cars. Dieselpunk fans, arise!

  40. Ursula's Mother's books about Ishi are beautifully written and heartbreaking. For those looking for Ishi and background on Le Guin's family, the Ishi books are published as by Theodora Kroeber. There is also a non-fiction book about the relationship her Father had with Ishi.

  43. Your description of the 1st book makes me feel a tiny bit better to be using it for a doorstop.
