Hi my name is Jake, and I love my dog.
His name is fajita, he's a real treat
He's still a puppy
He’s a labradoodle, which you get by mixing a labrador and a poodle.
And although sometimes dog breeding can go horribly wrong, the system of genetics that
causes these breeds to exist is the same as the one that created all the diversity of
creatures on the planet.
You can see this in Inner Animals.
This site has been shown previously on dong, but it’s a beautiful example of how the
things we take for granted are caused by very specific needs of our ancient ancestors.
Things are changing every day, and we’re going to look at things that are changing
with some dongs, things that you can do online now guys.
Þá Déor awendan end Þá giedd awendan.
You probably can’t understand that (and my grammar
probably wasn’t great), but that was technically english.
Old english, but technically a direct ancestor to modern english.
You can use the old english translator to see what the old versions of words would have
been.
Also check out the language evolution tree to see how language evolved from the various
theoretical languages, like indo-european and afro-asiatic, through to the modern languages
we know and love today.
Look at this.
This is money. (cha-ching)
You’ve probably seen this before.
But it hasn’t always looked like this.
The first paper money showed up in china in the 700s but it didn't make its way into Europe
until the 1400s in Italy where it really took off.
The first US $1 bill was introduced in 1862, and it looked like this!
You can use the slider on all the bills on this website to see what they looked like
when they were first introduced and compare them to how they look now.
Fun fact: dollar bills, also known as Bank notes, were, until 1933, just representations
of an equal value of gold or silver.
At the time coins, which were usually pressed forms of these materials, were the “real”
money, and bank notes were just a receipt saying they held that much of your gold.
Another fun fact: the $5 was created a few years before the $1 bill, because there were
already coins with that denomination.
Also the new $100 the new US one. Jack thinks it looks great.
I mean it does look nice. I think the australian dollar is pretty cool cause it can be used as
a needle for vinyl records, check out this vid
neat
Jack is editing this video on a computer machine, which is a pretty rad piece of technology, but it’s
also super quiet.
Most of the gadgets we use today make almost no sound, but that wasn’t always true.
This stuff used to be LOUD, and you can listen to a lot of old tech sounds at conserve the
sound dot DEH.
There’s a bunch of old machines with the sounds they made, like a vhs player, a nintendo
entertainment system, and old phones.
There are a bunch of videos on youtube that use old floppy drive disk readers to make
music.
You can check out some more of them in the description.
Check out this globe.
We’ve all got a pretty good idea of how the world looks right?
Well you probably already know this, but it didn’t always look this way, because of
Tectonic Plates.
These plates are basically giant islands floating on the earth’s liquid insides.
These islands slide around, and when they run into each other, they’re the cause of
earthquakes and mountain ranges and all sorts of rocky madness.
This simulation of plate tectonics is super cool, and you can watch a million years go
by each second.
That’s the really crazy thing about these plates moving around, it can take an incredibly
long time for their affects to be noticable.
Well it’s getting late.
Or is it?
Another thing that changed a couple of weeks ago is what time it is.
This article shows where daylight savings time affects you the most.
You can see the amount of daylight in each part of the US, and how much that would change
if we abolished daylight savings versus changed the time permanently.
Either way it’s almost (looks at wrist) 1 am, which means it’s my bed time.
Before I go, all the dongs are down there and there’s even more dongs up here.
So go be the change in your world, bucko.
Good night, good luck and here Hannah you can have this dollar
and as always give Hannah money so she stops beating me
I thought you were actually going to hit me that's how scared I am
andasalwaysthanksforwatching
Oh hello again. The video's not actually over
also I changed my shirt and got a haircut and shaved
but, we were talking about tectonic plates
and it got me thinking about something that actually comes in the latest curiosity box.
Curiosity Box X
If you don't know what the curiosity box is, this a quarterly science and curiosity filled subscription box
that Michael Kevin and I make. We spend a lot of time with it and we design
basically all the products that aren't the book or the video game that come in it.
spoilers. But it's something we really really care about.
there's a link down there if you want to get your own.
We love this box. Again we make everything, and also a portion of the proceeds goes to
Alzheimers research. We've done by now close to $120,000 worth of donations because of this box
and your support with it
Anyway, techtonic plates! I want to show you one thing that comes in this box.
I really love this. Something we designed. Called Earth's Layers Gift Wrap.
So we have the crust, we have the upper mantle. We have the lower mantle.
We have the outer core. And then there is the Core.
So it's pretty darn cool and if you were to wrap all your presents with this wrapping paper.
And stack them in the proper order you'd have a really nice cross section of Earth.
So that's pretty dang neat. Anyway, curiositybox.com. You can check it out down there.
It's a great way to support your brains, and other peoples brains through Alzheimers research.
Alright I love you and as always, thanks for watching.
