  3. "Some say that the sweet potato could have spread by natural, nonhuman means." "Are you suggesting that sweet potatoes migrate?" "It could grip it by the husk." "It's not a question of where he grips it!"

  4. So a guy saw what he thought was a bear, in the middle of the night, in the dark, and decided to go within 8' of it. Because that's what you do when its the middle of the night and you think there's a bear outside.

  5. This is perhaps the best-- and most evenhanded-- retelling of this case. Excellent work.

  6. Modern decentralized principalities would be a real trip.

  7. I demand this day to become an international holiday. Just for the name.

  8. Then they'd tell us not to try it

  9. My mother's grandparents came from Ireland to America around 120 years ago. They all celebrated Michealmas with a huge dinner. I had forgotten the date but I remember we had Michealmas dinner part way between the first day of school and Halloween. We had roast duck stuffed with a dressing that included raspberries and a number of other dishes and deserts. We stopped the tradition when the last of my great grandparents died in the 1960's. I had completely forgotten about it until I happened upon this video. I always wondered what that holiday was about. I recall it was the only day of the year we ever ate duck and raspberry stuffing. It was also the only day my great grandfather every got totally falling down drunk. Normally he could hold his liquor and a lot of it but on that day he had to be carried to bed. This video has given me some insight into my family's past. Thanks for posting.

  10. Hi Justin! Spanish speaker here. The correct name for the creature is “El Chupacabras”. That might sound like you are referring to several goat suckers, but the plural is actually added to the word not in reference to the creature, but in reference to the action. It didn’t suck ONE goat but several. So the plural: Cabras 🐐 will get added at the end of the word. The translation is the same however.

  11. The deep jungle almost scares me as much as the deep ocean. It's the same vibe as being way too out of your depth in a place you have no business being in and being at the total mercy of the Earth. Animals that you've never encountered before at every corner, the fear of not knowing what is going on around you because it's just too dense to see anything properly for more than a few feet. I can't tell which is worse, On one hand, you drown in the water and there could be Sharks or Krakens or some shit down there in the ocean, but on the other hand spiders, lots and lots of spiders.

  12. Thank you for not wasting over an hour of my time with squishy thinking and nonsense regarding Skinwalker Ranch. Your treatment is impressively thorough, and based on honest examination of the history and claims -- an approach I find frustratingly rare these days. This satisfied my search for information that did not assume prior knowledge and conclusions, and you have gained my respect with your eventual focus on the question of evidence. Liked and subscribed with gratitude.

  13. Excellent work. No dead-weight here, just a well-paced stream of info at the right level of detail (for me) and with useful graphics. Watched from start to finish.

  14. I'm a history student who's also English. Bang on video very accurate

  15. I've actually thought about this before. It's interesting to think that in this present moment we believe everything will remain the same forever but, in actuality, we're just another page in a future history book, who knows what's going to happen to human civilisation 100+ years from now. I mean think about a Roman living during the "pax romana", the empire is at an all time high, they'd believe that civilisation has no where to go but up, however, in less than a few hundred years Rome collapses and the dark ages emerge. You can imagine that a Roman might assume that nothing could possibly go wrong but it's the small errors that are made in the present moment that build up over time until everything comes crumbling down. On the upside, thank you for another great video Justin.

  16. Dude, we're supposed to have a bonfire in a few days and I'm considering sharing this video as a little campfire story. Thanks for posting.

  17. Eggplant is berries and tomato is berries so eggplant parmesan is just berries and cream

  23. As a Cuban of Spanish descent, I've watched this twice already. Amazing work, friend.

  24. You're the first other person I've seen who actually addresses the fact that Voltaires quote was in the 18th century. That meaning that his quote was relevant only in the later half of the HREs existence.

  25. Man, I just love the way that you cover paranormal type stuff, you seriously have the most well rounded and reasonable takes that I ever see on these kinds of subjects. I completely agree with what you said at the end about how people need to be careful to be neither pseudoscientists, nor pseudoskeptics.

  26. Yes, finally the quality fruit content we need

  27. Enjoyed doing this collab with you. So what do people think about the way the US buries its presidents vs the way the UK (in more recent centuries) buries its monarchs? Any interesting differences to note?

  32. Im curious about the history of Mangos. They are huge in India and South America so Im dying to learn more. Loved Strawberries History

  33. According to some sources, when the arabs tried to douse the Greek Fire with water, it caused the flames to grow even bigger and hotter, like trying to douse an oil fire with water in the kitchen. This so terrified the arabs that they called it the flames of hell.

  34. Seriously, this is one of my favorite channels on all of YouTube. Everything is so informational, and doesn’t skip over any crucial information, and even goes into the more obscure topics. I’ve even recommended your videos to my history teacher, hoping that she’d show the students these videos. Keep up with the amazing work, and I can’t wait for what comes next. 😄

  35. Man, the way you devalue our sacrifices during the Great Emu War, I thought you better than this. We only barely survived, without reinforcements of fresh troops from the East, Adelaide may have fallen to their swift armoured push to the south. Lest we forget

  36. So if Latin is not quite a dead language...... is it an undead language??😱

  37. I was disappointed to the lack of discussion of the medieval British knights and king, who traversed the lands, banging coconuts together.

  40. I am Australian. If anyone knew back then what is known now Western Australia would be colonised in a heartbeat. The area shown on your maps undoubtedly has the richest iron ore deposits in the world. Not to mention massive gold and uranium resources. I guess back then they were more interested in agricultural resources and from the coast I do admit that the west doesn't look overly interesting. But things are not as they looked. I don't know where we stand as the biggest wheat exporters in the world but it's definitely in the top dozen countries, and the vast majority of those exports come from Western Australia. Per capita WA (Western Australia) punches massively above its weight on the world stage...BTW I live on the eastern side so this isn't a totally unbiased view!

  41. Today I learned that Katherin the Great coexisted with Frederick the Great, Maria Theresia and the American Revolution.

  43. I'm loving the variety lately. Sometimes we get cryptids, sometimes we get traditional history, sometimes we get food. It's all great.

  44. So, the Boston "Massacre" was actually the first instance of "Fake News".

  45. I can’t even imagine the sheer depths of research behind this video series. You’ve done an amazing job here. Keep up the good work. Would love to see Norwegian histories from you soon

  48. Man, I’m 5’11”… if these Romans met me, they’d be around 6-7inches shorter. I don’t quite know how they’d react to that.. might think that I was one of those ‘Barbarians’ they always seemed to be fighting XD
