Hey Varun, i too have stopped using shampoo completely after watching his video. Most would not believe me, but my hair has become way more smooth and silky, quality wise. Although I am using dried Indian gooseberry to wash my hain every week.
@@joyjitsinha610 I have also stopped using shampoo, it’s been about 5 weeks now and I think it’s great but my hair has become thinner and I am losing it more then usual. I shortened my hair, have been working out since a long time and I am only 18 years old. Right now I am worried that I am going bald. I am thinking maybe the nutritional value of the shampoo might be needed, so planning to start using shampoos again unfortunately.
The craziest thing is that the engineers of the castle bravo bomb heavily underestimated the power because of Lithium 7 isotopes that reacted with the neutrons and created tritium which created even more fusion. The bomb was therefore 2.5 times stronger that it was expected to. Just shows how little knowledge there was.
"Playboy" meant someone who played fast and loose with things with little regard to rules. Like a car playboy is someone who probably street races and puts the newest stuff on their car. We have a different idea of playboy because of the magazine which came later

"This happened, but we can do better. Please people-learn from this, and let's do better in the future."
@@meetshivam Oversimplified is exactly that. Oversimplified. His channel skips WAY to much information tbh to be fully informed on a topic. But as a starter. Yeah his channel is pretty good.
Yes I agree! Children of today’s schools and adults of the future need to learn to think critically, out of the box, and know that there is almost always more to any story!
For real. And explains it in a way I can understand. Using relevant references and explaining questions i have as they come up. Honestly creators like him are the reason I have a youtube subscription
So this was the inspiration for Spongebob's episode "The Main Drain". I was so weirded out by it because how come there is a drain under the ocean? Then at the end of the episode Patrick said, "That's the most realistic story I've ever heard!"

@@FaizanWani786 America basically "captured" Japan and convert their government into an American one and they also not letting the Soviet union to touch Japan. I don't think they have a choice with that
@@buizelmeme6288 All for the best though quite honestly. Japan has changed for the better in almost every way conceivable because of the USA's involvement after WWII. And let's not pretend like the United States didn't have VERY good reason for that involvement. The Japanese carried out some especially heinous shit in the 19th and 20th centuries, but because of the USA, Japan went from a closed off, BRUTAL colonizing empire to a modern, cutting edge and global economy that was the second largest in the world at one point, that is home to not only some of the world's largest and most important tech and automotive companies, but Japan now exports their culture and media across the globe where it is enjoyed by millions, if not billions, of people, where Japan is now perceived highly favorably across the world, a polar sea-change compared to how they were viewed pre-WWII when they ammassed a Pacific empire and made Western Colonialism look warm and inviting by comparison.
I've watched like 3-4 vids of yours in the past 2-3 days. At first i was expecting some normal factual short videos about some technology or history. But boy was i wrong! Am just lost for words. The amout of knowledge and facts your are putting out in the world, its just crazy. You can never learn this stuff in schools or anywhere unless you are pursuing those sectors professionally on a deeper level. This type of knowledge is surely gonna impact people's life/ thinking. Hope we all learn from all of this and try to be a better human in our life.
Right??? Like why the hell doesn’t anyone in the scientific/medical community talk about this when figuring out the cause for the uprise in cancer cases? I mean I hate plastic too, but huge bombs detonating massive radiation seems pretty probable as well
@@nathanlevesque7812 actually, if you look at the lung and bronchus cancer rates, they do specifically start to go up around 1948, drastically so. Its got to be at least an important factor
@@Nebula. That would be the post hoc fallacy if those were the types to look for, and were concentrated where testing could be a factor...but it's not.
Marshallese actually Bikini Atoll is one island among many making up the Marshall Islands and well sadly thats the only place you were wrong, the USA still has not paid all the money owed for damages despite demands from the Marshallese people.
I can't believe how he can be so calm when talking about this. How maintaining peace relies on massive destruction etc. I can't really put my gratitude to words but thank you for that.
USA: Hey these nukes are crazy powerful and we don’t know how dangerous they can be for long term health Also the USA: Let’s use these nukes near inhabited islands and convince the locals that they are helping us fulfill God’s mission
@@modestrocker1 there must be some legislation made to allow it to happen. Look, I don't know how what is essentially a sovereign state could exist/coexist inside another nation border and the reservation territory also overlap across a couple of US states border and the bureaucracy. I only aware of it recently. Before that I thought native reservation was part of US and subject to its federal government. It's confusing and kinda fuck up.
@@Amin.Ashraf Your thought is correct Native Indian reservations are part of the US. They are Federal territories within a State, they are subject to all Federal laws, but are not subject to most State laws. They have their own governments, laws, police forces etc. The Residents are full US citizens and full citizens of the State the reservation resides in.
It's amazing how I've seen and read so much about these tests, and it still hits me every single time just how much all this impacted the world in virtually every single way
Apparently in the culture of those on Bikini, the phrase “In God’s hands”, which is what the chief told Ben Wyatt, should be interpreted as meaning “No, not unless God wills it”. A polite way of declining. But Ben Wyatt interpreted it as “Yes, if God wills it so then we agree!”. The problem of wishful thinking and lacking understanding of the culture
@@shomin9761 Uhh, no. There was a period of 10 years (1970-1980) when people tried to resettle there, but they were evacuated when their body levels of radioactive particles were found to be too high, and probably will be for as long as humans inhabit this earth. Probably most of them wound up in Kwajalein (an interesting Wikipedia article, fwiw).
It's a way of shadow banning content that is too real for Google/YoouTube's view of how the world should be. I'm not giving Google my ID or creditcard details so I can't watch this. It's nice to know however that they don't know who I am already.
I remember my dad telling me stories about growing with nuclear testing close by. His early memories were growing up at the China Lake, California Naval Weapons test facility. His dad would wake him up really early in the morning. They would go outside and look east towards the mountains and would watch what he thought to be a sunrise coming up, but then it would go away and be dark again. You could imagine to a 5 year old how confusing this must have been. "Where did the Sun go?" The "Sun" he was witnessing was the glow from the early Nuclear testing just on the other side of the mountain range in Nevada.
What's sad is those Japanese fishermen thought the radioactive ash falling on them was snow and revelled in it only to come back home with sever radiation poisoning and die :(
To clarify that - 1 or 2 died in the first 6 months. The rest all received some type of cancer diagnosis within 30 years of the incident. Some as little as 6 months out, some 20 years later. But Lucky Dragon # 5 incident followed them. Hence in Godzilla, when you see him, he eventually kills you. (The fisherman that survives the incident dies at the next Godzilla attack on the island.) Look up Big Action Bill's docuseries on the Godzilla franchise. Extremely well done series that I can't recommend enough.
I mentioned this to my girlfriend like two days ago how the bikini is named after bikini Atol because of nukes, she asked me how I knew that and I said and I quote "I dunno was probably a Johnny Harris video" my question to you, are you a time traveller or am I a master of the universe? 🤔
I have this theory that all events happen simultaneously as if time didn't exist but we only perceive one string of events ie the present. And sometimes due to unknown circumstances we can see flashes of the future or past.
I started to watch you as my Brother advices me and now I am enjoying all sort of information you provide in your innovative videos with right timing of upbeats and music suitable at the place. It's totally relatable to understand all the facts
I know people are making memes about random stuffs but please take a moment of appreciation to this guy who made this video detailing everything about the bomb AND he even made it EXACTLY 19:45
@@kmb5707 Alright, calm down bro, there was a five year period where America was the only nuclear superpower in the world. Trust me if they wanted to they really could’ve been the bad guys and no one would be able to do anything...instead they spent that time rebuilding most of Europe and Japan; the Marshall Plan:/
@@hollister2320 interestingly, they were not charged with crimes against humanity. Also rebuilding what you've destroyed for later making that place your puppy state is not exactly Saint like. Well they could've done something bad like used it again in the Korean wars which they wanted to but couldn't.
@@hollister2320 Europe is not all there is in WW2, what history did they teach you man? I think killing thousands of civilians is crime against humanity under rules of war, what international history did they teach you man. America killed those Japanese civilians with atom bombs. Know what nevermind, Americans are not taught about anything outside their borders. You probably don't know Churchill was responsible for the great Bengal famine when he was prime minister.
We watched that propaganda film in high school and critiqued it. I didn’t realize until years later that they used some of these citizens for nuclear bomb and radiation testing.
During the first nuclear bomb test, Enrico Fermi was tearing up pieces of paper and dropping them to the ground. When asked, he explained that he was testing if the air pressure changed, because that would indicate they had created a chain reaction that was going to burn off Earth's atmosphere.
Having visited Hiroshima in the anniversary of the bomb and listened to actual survivors it really hits you the actual human impact and horror that this technology can unleash. It would make for a great follow up video on the topic. Awesome video, keep up the great content, thanks!
I have a picture of my Grandfather walking a Beach in the Atoll, smoking a fat Cigar, wearing his Khakis, Boots and Socks were in his Hand. He was there for the DoD to do damage assessments. No Headgear, either. This was one hell of a Man. God rest his Soul.
IF YOU.. Got blindsided by Nat Geo®.. ...Then WAAAIIITTTT until you hear what their similarly "non-profit" counterparts in Smithsonian® do. Need I bother anything about HISTORY® & 'course, the would-be "factual" media behemoth in Discovery®?( Soon to bankroll the most-widely distributed US MIMC agitprop "news" service.)
At this stage of life there’s no pride or fun talking about this practices. Inocent people died. Should we laugh at 9/11 or is this such a basic mentality that “it’s just a matter of which sides we pick”?
I actually quite love how you are growing angrier about these states of affaires. It kind of depicts how I feel in the blistering sun right now. I would love to meet you one day. Blessings from Eindhoven, the Netherlands
The most severe cases is at bikini where their home and ocean is no longer liveable and get food so i think the phrase is quite correct. Showing the gravity of the atrocities the US government commited
This was sooo interesting!! You’re such an eloquent storyteller - your videos are some of the best on RUclips and I always learn so much from watching your channel. I would love if you did a video on Northern Ireland!
Thanks Johnny for touching on this. It is so sad how countries can do this to smaller island people and the ENVIRONMENT. I can't imagine the environmental destruction it caused, not to mention the lives of those people affected. This shows how hypocrisies run to West, as they were and continuing to do so in oppressing smaller nations, people and environment.
No need to imagine the USA used the Marshallese as Guinea pigs in a "Study of Response of Human Beings exposed to Significant Beta and Gamma Radiation due to Fall-out from High-Yield Weapons."
Crazy how the origin story for Godzilla has been totally flipped around. If I recall in Godzilla 2014, they say that all the nuclear testing in the Pacific Ocean wasn't actually testing, it was trying to bomb Godzilla.
History and Geography has never been so exciting in books...thanks Johnny for changing our views...you have huge followers in India. I wish you would do some story about Indian history and Geography...it is more exciting than that world think it is..👍
This was a great video! Im new here but I’ve been bingeing your videos the past few days and have learned so much. Thank you! You should do a video on the Tsar bomba.
I'd love to see you elaborate more on this story. Especially the story of the people who were displaced, the country that they're from, and the leaders that took a stand to have this type of manipulation and exploitation of people and natural resources (which are so so precious to the sustainence of these people) stopped. I think it's something that also needs to be highlighted.
My Grandpa was stationed there as a part of Operation Crossroads, and he told stories about how he didnt duck and look away when the nukes went off and he would just stand up and watch. He was the last living crew memeber from his ship, and my dad actally had an exact mini replica of that ship made for him after doing a bunch of hunting trying to find a lot of the (Still classified) details on it. They actually decomishioned that ship and tested a nuke on it as a part of the operation. I wish I asked him more about it before he passed a few years back, a truly crazy time to be in the Navy.
19:07 onwards, what a perfectly written conclusion. Amazing how this entire idea can be applied to even recent USA activities in the middle east and in HongKong.
Thank. YOU. So. MUCH!! Your journalism is informative, entertaining, educational, and HONEST. Johnny, whatever struggles you went through to get here, I hope you see how necessary they were.

@@meetshivam Oversimplified is exactly that. Oversimplified. His channel skips WAY to much information tbh to be fully informed on a topic. But as a starter. Yeah his channel is pretty good.

I’d love to see Johnny investigate different aspects of the Chernobyl disaster.
So, this is how Spongebob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr Krabs born
@@DyslexicMitochondria omg hi bro i watch your channeI. Love your videos
I thought that was common knowledge. Bikini Atoll - nuclear testing - Bikini Bottoms - a talking sponge. That is what that entire show is. 😎

@@TitoTimTravels that just a fan theory.
Just wow. The amount of things I learn from Johnny. We absolutely need to get Johnny’s videos as part of all school curriculums!
So true, I mean only know about Spongebob and Godzilla part, but this blew my mind daaamn
@scenarios travel Mind BLOWN!
Scholastic® would feel threatened, nevermind the NYT® Company.
Yes I agree! Children of today’s schools and adults of the future need to learn to think critically, out of the box, and know that there is almost always more to any story!
For real. And explains it in a way I can understand. Using relevant references and explaining questions i have as they come up. Honestly creators like him are the reason I have a youtube subscription
So this was the inspiration for Spongebob's episode "The Main Drain". I was so weirded out by it because how come there is a drain under the ocean? Then at the end of the episode Patrick said, "That's the most realistic story I've ever heard!"

Johnny: Look at this big old beautiful roll-up map of Switzerland!
Yeah, it's a short from an earlier clip about the defensive borders of Switzerland. 100% recommend.

The real problem is when these developed nations act like 'saviour' and 'torch bearer' to other nations forgetting their own atrocities
Hello fellow Brit or British English speaker.
The only reason why they act like "saviours" & "torch bearers" is because it's become way harder to do good ol' imperialism genocide without getting caught in 4K.

@@FaizanWani786 America basically "captured" Japan and convert their government into an American one and they also not letting the Soviet union to touch Japan. I don't think they have a choice with that
@@buizelmeme6288 All for the best though quite honestly. Japan has changed for the better in almost every way conceivable because of the USA's involvement after WWII. And let's not pretend like the United States didn't have VERY good reason for that involvement. The Japanese carried out some especially heinous shit in the 19th and 20th centuries, but because of the USA, Japan went from a closed off, BRUTAL colonizing empire to a modern, cutting edge and global economy that was the second largest in the world at one point, that is home to not only some of the world's largest and most important tech and automotive companies, but Japan now exports their culture and media across the globe where it is enjoyed by millions, if not billions, of people, where Japan is now perceived highly favorably across the world, a polar sea-change compared to how they were viewed pre-WWII when they ammassed a Pacific empire and made Western Colonialism look warm and inviting by comparison.

I've watched like 3-4 vids of yours in the past 2-3 days. At first i was expecting some normal factual short videos about some technology or history. But boy was i wrong! Am just lost for words. The amout of knowledge and facts your are putting out in the world, its just crazy. You can never learn this stuff in schools or anywhere unless you are pursuing those sectors professionally on a deeper level. This type of knowledge is surely gonna impact people's life/ thinking. Hope we all learn from all of this and try to be a better human in our life.
"Did we just poison the entire US southwest?"
"Probably, let's detonate 900 more on US soil just to be sure"
Right??? Like why the hell doesn’t anyone in the scientific/medical community talk about this when figuring out the cause for the uprise in cancer cases? I mean I hate plastic too, but huge bombs detonating massive radiation seems pretty probable as well

@@nathanlevesque7812 actually, if you look at the lung and bronchus cancer rates, they do specifically start to go up around 1948, drastically so. Its got to be at least an important factor

I can't really put my gratitude to words but thank you for that.

Also the USA: Let’s use these nukes near inhabited islands and convince the locals that they are helping us fulfill God’s mission

This really show how far American would take their "not in my backyard" attitude.

@@modestrocker1 there must be some legislation made to allow it to happen. Look, I don't know how what is essentially a sovereign state could exist/coexist inside another nation border and the reservation territory also overlap across a couple of US states border and the bureaucracy.
I only aware of it recently. Before that I thought native reservation was part of US and subject to its federal government. It's confusing and kinda fuck up.
Lol. Classic superpower greed.
@@Amin.Ashraf Your thought is correct Native Indian reservations are part of the US. They are Federal territories within a State, they are subject to all Federal laws, but are not subject to most State laws. They have their own governments, laws, police forces etc. The Residents are full US citizens and full citizens of the State the reservation resides in.

Apparently in the culture of those on Bikini, the phrase “In God’s hands”, which is what the chief told Ben Wyatt, should be interpreted as meaning “No, not unless God wills it”. A polite way of declining. But Ben Wyatt interpreted it as “Yes, if God wills it so then we agree!”.
The problem of wishful thinking and lacking understanding of the culture
Yes we need another video focus on that island people.. Did they came back to that island...
@@shomin9761 "There are only 90k of them. Who gives a damn?"
I doubt it would have changed what happened if Ben Wyatt knew it meant "no".
@@shomin9761 Uhh, no. There was a period of 10 years (1970-1980) when people tried to resettle there, but they were evacuated when their body levels of radioactive particles were found to be too high, and probably will be for as long as humans inhabit this earth. Probably most of them wound up in Kwajalein (an interesting Wikipedia article, fwiw).
So didn’t god technically will it since it happened anyway?
I cannot understand why this amazing and educational content is age-restricted ...

Belly bottoms showing, most likely.
Because why wear anything at all instead of wearing bikini.
This is by far my favorite of the pieces you've put out, so many layers! Thank you
If the nuke makes mutations amn't that thy reasoning the Japaneses have them eyes?
I remember my dad telling me stories about growing with nuclear testing close by. His early memories were growing up at the China Lake, California Naval Weapons test facility. His dad would wake him up really early in the morning. They would go outside and look east towards the mountains and would watch what he thought to be a sunrise coming up, but then it would go away and be dark again. You could imagine to a 5 year old how confusing this must have been. "Where did the Sun go?" The "Sun" he was witnessing was the glow from the early Nuclear testing just on the other side of the mountain range in Nevada.

What's sad is those Japanese fishermen thought the radioactive ash falling on them was snow and revelled in it only to come back home with sever radiation poisoning and die :(
To clarify that - 1 or 2 died in the first 6 months. The rest all received some type of cancer diagnosis within 30 years of the incident. Some as little as 6 months out, some 20 years later. But Lucky Dragon # 5 incident followed them. Hence in Godzilla, when you see him, he eventually kills you. (The fisherman that survives the incident dies at the next Godzilla attack on the island.)
Look up Big Action Bill's docuseries on the Godzilla franchise. Extremely well done series that I can't recommend enough.
@@BigFalconar
I agree.
Maybe my favorite video of all time. History is almost unbelievable. Thank you
I mentioned this to my girlfriend like two days ago how the bikini is named after bikini Atol because of nukes, she asked me how I knew that and I said and I quote "I dunno was probably a Johnny Harris video" my question to you, are you a time traveller or am I a master of the universe? 🤔
Wait, then you're the time traveller
In certain times, brain doesn't remember a full event correctly, so it adds fake lies to connect the dots or it's just a deja Vu.
I have this theory that all events happen simultaneously as if time didn't exist but we only perceive one string of events ie the present. And sometimes due to unknown circumstances we can see flashes of the future or past.

@@kmb5707 Alright, calm down bro, there was a five year period where America was the only nuclear superpower in the world. Trust me if they wanted to they really could’ve been the bad guys and no one would be able to do anything...instead they spent that time rebuilding most of Europe and Japan; the Marshall Plan:/
@@hollister2320 interestingly, they were not charged with crimes against humanity. Also rebuilding what you've destroyed for later making that place your puppy state is not exactly Saint like.
Well they could've done something bad like used it again in the Korean wars which they wanted to but couldn't.
@@hollister2320 Europe is not all there is in WW2, what history did they teach you man? I think killing thousands of civilians is crime against humanity under rules of war, what international history did they teach you man. America killed those Japanese civilians with atom bombs. Know what nevermind, Americans are not taught about anything outside their borders. You probably don't know Churchill was responsible for the great Bengal famine when he was prime minister.
We watched that propaganda film in high school and critiqued it. I didn’t realize until years later that they used some of these citizens for nuclear bomb and radiation testing.

During the first nuclear bomb test, Enrico Fermi was tearing up pieces of paper and dropping them to the ground. When asked, he explained that he was testing if the air pressure changed, because that would indicate they had created a chain reaction that was going to burn off Earth's atmosphere.
Having visited Hiroshima in the anniversary of the bomb and listened to actual survivors it really hits you the actual human impact and horror that this technology can unleash. It would make for a great follow up video on the topic. Awesome video, keep up the great content, thanks!

Thanks Johnny for touching on this. It is so sad how countries can do this to smaller island people and the ENVIRONMENT. I can't imagine the environmental destruction it caused, not to mention the lives of those people affected. This shows how hypocrisies run to West, as they were and continuing to do so in oppressing smaller nations, people and environment.

I'd love to see you elaborate more on this story. Especially the story of the people who were displaced, the country that they're from, and the leaders that took a stand to have this type of manipulation and exploitation of people and natural resources (which are so so precious to the sustainence of these people) stopped.
I think it's something that also needs to be highlighted.
Wasn't expecting Ben Wyatt to be featured in Johnny's video! Cracked me up
He's a Sikh lad
My Grandpa was stationed there as a part of Operation Crossroads, and he told stories about how he didnt duck and look away when the nukes went off and he would just stand up and watch. He was the last living crew memeber from his ship, and my dad actally had an exact mini replica of that ship made for him after doing a bunch of hunting trying to find a lot of the (Still classified) details on it. They actually decomishioned that ship and tested a nuke on it as a part of the operation. I wish I asked him more about it before he passed a few years back, a truly crazy time to be in the Navy.
