My go-to fun fact about myself is that I have accidentally and illegally been to Canada.
That's a neat story
...at the same time or during two separate instances?
can we like get more details cause what 🙏
Actually same
@@DarkKnightofITIt’s possible to illegally cross the US/Canada border entirely on accident due to it crossing directly through a street in a town.
My teachers often forgot the "about yourself" part of the question so my 5 year old self started talking about the mummification process to my class of fellow 5 year old kindergarteners "did you know the ancient Egyptians pulled brains out through the mummies noses?" then by year 2 (7/8) my answer was "Did you know the bubonic plague is still around today? But don't worry that much if you catch it early enough you have a pretty good chance of survival thanks to modern medicine, unless it manifests as pneumonic or septicaemic plague in which case you're pretty much dead no matter what." With a huge smile on my face because I got to infodump about my interests and I'm going to retrospectively apologise for any plague/mummification nightmares I gave any small children lol
lmao at that young age?? wow! the smartest kids r usually the strangest lmao
I remember being thrilled at both of those facts! very cool.
I'm still that kid now, I think; I'm doing my French research project on posthumous marriage, the ability to legally marry a dead person in France! it's very interesting.
@@denkisupremacy Yeah before I started school my interests were space and mummification and at around 12 I definitely remember watching a bunch of RUclips videos on various historical torture methods so I've definitely always had an interest in the more morbid things and I've always been a bit of a history nerd (ironically I've never really gotten super into modern history though) so it's honestly unsurprising that two of my three most recent long term hyperfixations were history related, Anne Boleyn and Six the Musical and the current one which is Greek Mythology and Stray Gods Persephone in particular, the third is D&D +Vex and Zahra from critical role which is funny because the same voice actors play Grace and Persephone in stray gods (actually looking back almost all of my hyperfixations and all my special interests have been fantasy or history related which is pretty interesting)
Now I'm going to have to go look up posthumous marriage in France lol
@@Evelyn-rb1zj omg that's so cool!! I love when ppl are passionate about anything, bonus points when it's smth a little "weird"!!
I'm also a big fantasy nerd lol, love Greek mythology anything - I literally study Latin 😭
I have not heard of stray gods, but I love persephone, so I will look it up!
edit: woah it actually looks pretty sick! I might watch a gameplay of it.
@@denkisupremacy I think my favourite play through that I've watched is by Zari the Muse (mostly because it actually has the lore section and I've seen a few that miss it)
@@Evelyn-rb1zj oh yay, thank you so much for the rec! I'll save it now.
My fun fact:
My name is Misery. And yes, I was born before the book.
Of you start a business, will you name it Misery's Business?
Do you love company?
Oh the misery
At least you’re not named Annie Wilkes.
That’s a fun fact indeed. Especially the second sentence. I want to buy the book.
So I moved to a new school in grade 9 (2010) and it was a question like “what’s something you can do that you don’t think others can”? Well it was after the movie Up was released and I had perfected Doug’s voice over the Christmas holidays so I did the voice and one of the lines from the film and everyone just stared at me like I was a weirdo… I then said “well, I can move my ears without touching them”. That got a better reaction than my impression of Doug (which is still pretty amazing).
You won’t be surprised to hear that I was diagnosed with ADHD and ASD in my mid twenties 😂😂😂
The last line killed me. My go-to fun fact was that my brother and I are adopted but we share DNA.
I quickly learned that I couldn't complain about injuries around one of my uncles because he would _always_ come back with a story of a far worse injury in the same area.
"I robbed the 2nd largest bank in france with only a ballpoint pen"
I taught 7th grade math in a rough area and had kids say they didn’t need math as they were going to be on welfare. I made sure they knew that you need to know if your welfare checks and food stamp cards were correct! I verbally beat into them the fact that math was needed by EVERYONE no matter what goals they did or didn’t have. During summer school math with a very small class (lots of parent permission, etc.) and walked them to McDonald’s to learn how to estimate so they knew they had enough money. We learned negative numbers by playing gin rummy. That summer class was the BEST! During the regular school year O was miserable dealing with over 30 kids per class and 160 homework papers to grade every night. Moved on to school system tutoring for kids who were in special mental health centered programs. I can handle anything one on one.
You were John Lovitz in 'High School High'?
🎶 _Like a rhinestone cowboy!!..._ 🎶 😂
My go-to fun fact is that I'm part of a standing world record (a con I go to had the world's largest gathering of people dressed like wizards, so my friends and I went).
But I think the most interesting one I've ever got, as a professor, was the student who'd just passed a fluency and interpretation test for Japanese at the embassy. He gave his intro in English, then in fluent Japanese. The class was suitably impressed, and my bilingual students strongly considered flexing back on him (but chose not to for the sake of time, haha)
When my son was about 8, kids in his class were all asked what their parents did for work. My partner and I didn't work at that point, so my son (who lives with my mum) told the class that his grandad was a rocket scientist. Everyone said he was lying, including the teacher, and he got really upset, then pissed off about it. They called my mum in to "discuss Jake's behaviour."
Teacher: Jake has been very angry today because he got caught lying.
My mum: Right. Well, what was he lying about?
Teacher (really pedantically): He said his grandad is a rocket scientist, and that's obviously just not true.
My mum (equally pedantically): Jake said that because he *is* and Jake is very proud of him.
Teacher: 😮
The brushing routine story, I haven't been that great at brushing my teeth and of course I now have a lot of issues which I'm getting sorted. But my hygienist suggested putting a toothbrush by the kitchen sink. Yes I know to some this is gross. But really it's probably more sanitary than by the bathroom sink. Plus you're going to wipe the area after anyways so... But anyway I can go on for awhile on this one 😅. So I did. Even put mouthwash in a water bottle. So now no matter what I do I have no excuse as to why I haven't brushed my teeth. Even went so far as to getting an aquaflosser which is amazing. My teeth are doing a lot better since I've actually been taking care of them. Take care of your teeth. Don't ignore them like I did or else you may end up needing a lot of fillings. I seriously sat through 16 in one appointment and 9 in the next. Not recommended but I wanted to get it done and over with. Brush your teeth.
dude that alcoholic kid makes me sad why was he so excited that he tricked the teacher 😭
oh noooo, the background is so cute, I LOVE THAT 😍😍
0:21 The "I wonder why!" completely got me off-guard 😂😂😂
I feel like sharing this.
There was a point in time where my grandfather personally met the president of Singapore. This was like in the 80s-90s. No im not joking.
Mine is I'm fucked up from birth because of toxoplasmosis and my father refusing to stop smoking while my mother was pregnant. A positive one....In highschool I was friends with a lesbian and a bisexual girl, we all had partners, despite this everyone thought we were in one, big happy relationship. It's also worth mentioning I had a crush on the bi girl and the lesbian one was the same way with me. Fun times!
Mine is: “I am named after a Little Bear character my older sister liked.” It’s Emily
One of the most wtf moments I had in class was when my students were just casually talking about their families and stuff like that, and one girl just out of nowhere said that her parents are cousins🤦🏻♀️
The few seconds of silence followed by everyone shouting "what??" and her not understanding that it is in fact not normal in our country to marry and have kids with your cousin (her parents are from a country where it is not that unusual) is one of the funniest moments I've ever had as a teacher
I can kind of relate to the mortician girl except I'm repulsed by certain smells so in all likelihood I'd be happier in a forest or garden center despite my allergy to grass and pollen.
In response to story 16, I'm still kind of lost. I already know what the inappropriate acronym SA stands for. What was the non-English speaker really trying to say?
He was trying to say that he listens to rap and what his favourite rappers are. Unfortunately he picked a sinonym to SA that sounds similar
Stupid censors. He said he liked “rape” instead of rap.
Possibly sound artists or song artist @@originalname7038
Rappers vs ... r*pers.
My guess is that he meant to say rapper but said raper instead
Usually when teachers asked that question I told the person before me: Wow that was a great story. Then looked at the person next to me. I can't wait to here their story! I just gave them nothing.
Hi, Cleveland! East Liverpool checking in. Love listening to this channel!
A few years ago after spring break our math teacher (who honestly wasn’t as bad as stereotypical ones) had to put down her dog, a few classes later I saw her walking out of the classroom bawling, it turns out a kid said over spring he got a new puppy and said he loved it so much and was glad it didn’t die, “unlike someone’s I know”. And yes it was intended towards her, what made it worse was he didnt get dog. His dad actually divorced his mom a few weeks later and it took every last bit of effort I had in my body not to say anything.
I’m a artist, have been since I was about 7! Problem is that I also have essential hand tremors too! So the dream job of being a tattoo artist sorta was thrown out the window when I was explained at 10 that it’s only gonna get worse and I’m fucked because there’s no fix.
But hey! I will never give up on my artwork! I love my work and I love what I do, ya I can’t draw a straight line, whatever, I’m having fun ^^
My wife taught preschool to a mob lawyer in New York. The 4 year old would regularly talk about going with his dad to visit prison and various terrible things he had heard. She had never heard more cursewords from a kid that young. The teachers raised the concerns to his parents about what he was being exosed to. They mostly thought it was amusing. I don't remember exactly how they ended up leaving the school, but they weren't there the full school year.
I was running around my house when I was a kid, and I tripped over the couch. I fell and broke my collar bone.
Once i was talking to my friend and she told me her father used to be a moneylender. We’d been friends for over a year at that point and that was never brought up
BASED BACKROUND GAME
Kids believe interesting things. I probably could tell lots of neat stories if I ever just said what I used to believe as a kid.
What are the worst injuries I’ve ever was going to close to a fan blade when I was on my older sister‘s loft bed, and then my left eye got its eyelids cut open, and it was really really close to cutting my left eye. You could see the flash there was a little scar on that flesh if I had any, wear closer to that fan blade I would be blinded in my left eye
injury story: Once, I was riding my bike down a steep hill on a gravel trail. I crashed my bike and got several deep cuts all over my left arm. I still have scars from them 2 years later. Another story is that one time, I had a nightlight. One of those incandescent bulbs that get hot. I accidentally touched it and got a blister.
Good news sir: the brick fragments in my skull don’t stop me from thinking right!
-i stole a car and served the last two months
-*ok thats great* what bout you
Fun fact, i once got the cops called on my mother when I was really young cause i absolutely refused to wear pants or a diaper.
fun fact! When i was around like 10, i was skiing on a large, steep mountain. I was going Over a hill and couldn’t see the other side. Unfortunately, as i jumped, i realized it was a drop off jump and i hit my head on a large metal pole. I had a bad concussion and passed out 😅
I do the same weird brushing routine, but I use mouthwash after
Awesome Sid the Sloth impression!
I almost peeled my right thumb knuckle off in the fourth grade!
21:48 THATS SO COOL (the tounge thing)
OML WAIT I JUST FINISHED A SHORT HIKE!! So cool to see it on a video
Love the Sid the sloth impression 😂
So im part Sri lankan but my family live in a diffrent country, but we visit family there every 2 years, So we where visiting and Sri lanka has these gaps in the footpaths for rain pipes and i was a really small 6 year old, i fell through and my leg got stuck, eventually i got out and had to wear bandages for 2 months, lol😅 ( good news! im alive!)
I broke the same foot twice and then the leg it's connected too once and then sprained my right ankle twice and my right arm once of course there are far more injuries but those were the worst. (ps this is a joke)
Fun Fact about me, I’m REALLY good at reading Shakespeare, in old English. And I was the only one who read the old English version in 11th grade English class
Try Beowulf
Great Jessie impersonation!
I saw someone bust there head open on a locker
10:49 oml…. That nearly broke me man. it’s 1 am I can’t laugh! I have to hold it in!
I can cook Minute rice in 57 seconds.
42:27 -I also brush my teeth like that?
What’s the game being played in the background?
A SHORT HIKE nice background game choice B)
Bro is really selling out with how many adds there are, what are there like 10-12?
32:20 Was he in jail because some building was on fire, and it wasn't his fault?
Are you related to reallysparkled
Yes, both channels are related. I'm the narrator on the other channel.
@@ABadPassword oh cool
Wait how'd the teacher know what it entails to sell drugs
my fun fact is that I slipped tomato and cracked my chin open. I got stitches:)
nice stories
I love these videos
I was once the 8th best subway surfers player in the us
What game is that you're playing?
I wanna know what culture the raccoon thing is from
What gameplay is this
I cant never get over how Non-british people pronounce Pasty/Pasties
Its Past-e, not paste-e 😂
I can make bird noises 😊
Mine was hi my name is Chris (it's not my legal name but yeah) and I breathe air
Or my name is Chris and I've watched a person run on fire at 8 years old true story
New voice
"Tarot," and "pasties" (in Cornish pasties) were mispronounced.
Is this another new narrator?
Who else did a spit take when that kid really expressed how much he loved essays?
Let’s go
???
i like this guy better tbh
I think both are just as good
I like both tbh
*I'm
Yo what happened to your voice?
Ohio gang
Please dont use the name of God in vain
Im actually early
This narrator is worse. Thinks he's hilarious but just makes me cringe
Learn how to write grammatically and how to use proper case.
learn to shut up 🥳 its most likely auto captions for one, two, undersparked does captions to be nice to ppl who want them, and three, you’re literally being an ass for no reason.
First
I've probably been this person before. The fact that I have very loose connections to two infamous serial killers just seems too interesting to not share. I was born and raised in the same city John Wayne Gacy lived in for several years before he ever actually killed anyone. My childhood home was two houses over from where he used to live (not at the same time as me, he was executed when I was a little over a year old). I was friends with the kid that lived there and spent many hours in that home. The other connection is to BTK. My paternal grandma lived in the same city as him during the same time period as his killing spree. She was a young, newly divorced single mom and felt very vulnerable. It's a miracle she turned out to be one of the most optimistic, bubbly people I've ever met despite having to live those years in a constant state of fear.
Wow. That’s really interesting!
7:48 the transition from original meaning to the video transcript is fascinating:
rap-->rape --> sexual assault --> SA --> essay
Thank you because I thought he was calling rap essays and the joke was that since they were spoken word maybe the name for rap in his language was closer to essays. Lol that makes way more sense now.
@@nanardeurlambda Need to complete the circle with "speech" as the missing link.
Torturing animals is not "antics".
That's right. It's animal cruelty!
as a person with Tourrettes,the story about the kid with tourrettes made me chuckle
Game is a Short Hike
Thank you for your service
Thx
was looking for this comment lol
dear new narrator, could you please give a warning for the last story? it always throws me off when it just ends like that
What happened
@@Idontknoswit ended
@@rennoc6478 yay thx
*Dear
*thanks
So the thing about lice, you can treat lice with mayonnaise. You put it in your hair for about 2 hours. It should suffocate everything from the bug to the eggs. Its way cheaper than the shampoo and is easier on your hair. It also is a better option if you have certain product in your hair. When i was a kid, my whole kindergarten class got lice right after my mom got my hair permed. The combination of the perm chemicals and the lice treatment stuff ruined my hair and we had to cut nearly all of it off. THEN we found out about the mayonnaise.
Wow! Lice have become immune to a lot of the products used to kill them off. Mayonnaise is natural and harmless to humans.
My go-to fun fact was usually “I’m legally blind!”
Of course, a lot of kids didn’t understand what that meant, so they would always ask, “so you can’t see ANYTHING???” Then I’d have to explain that it just meant that I can’t read things past a certain distance with my glasses off. That distance, now that I’m older, is just past the tip of my nose ☹️
I had a student thrust his hand in the air to tell us the story about how his parents met.
"I was a booty call!"
Oh. Um, thanks!
A 4 year old was adamant he went on a day trip to the moon with his grandparents who drove him there. He was at that age of embellishing things, and struggling to tell some dreams from reality, so he'd dreamt he'd gone on a trip to the moon with granny and grandad, then embellished additional details for anyone who asked. He's the same kid who's convinced one day, he'll turn into Spiderman if an emergency happens.
You don't have to be a professional bowler to get a 300 (a perfect game). A lot of bowling alleys will have high scores for that alley posted on the wall, and there's almost always a good handful of 300s.
Amateurs who regularly bowl at the same alley will learn how the typical oil pattern behaves there, and can score multiple 300s. But alleys can put down different patterns, and being able to read it and accurately adjust to different patterns is what separates a great bowler from the good bowlers.
Especially when the oil patterns at most commercial alleys are less oiled in the middle and more oiled near the edge to make it easier to score well. Professional tournaments just use an even oil pattern across the width so that it takes more skill to do well.
I usually notice the professional bowlers can make the ball curve when they roll it down the lane. While I as an amateur pray it doesn't go in the gutter! 😂
My go-to two truths and a lie was: "I have 3 grandfather's and no grandmothers" because it sounds like a lie. But both my grandmothers passed before I was born and my mother was adopted young but still had contact with her birth father
I had 4 sets of grandparents. My grandparents all divorced and remarried before I was born. I didn’t realise it was odd until I was older. I only have 1 left, sadly.
@Hiforest wow wow, hopefully you have plenty of fond grandparent memories with all eight. Sadly I also only have one still around, trying to make sure to fill up lots of fond memories while I have the chance
@@WANmnom Certainly:). I feel very lucky.
Apparently when I was five or six I told my entire class that “my dad sells drugs and mom takes care of kids” when the teacher asked me why my parents would both miss career day. Their actual jobs? Mom was an ESE teacher for middleschoolers and my father was a pharmacist.
Mom has said that the phone call she got from my teacher was the most embarrassing and memorable “your kid is in trouble” call she’d ever been a part of.
Back in school my go to fun fact was that I had around 100 cats. I fostered kittens and had a feral colony that I looked after 😅 so I was always swimming in cats.
Oh man! My family just fixed/TNRed all the adult females in our feral colony, which a few months ago grew to 11 cats total in a matter of months, so we know the pain of them multiplying, haha! XD Did you ever manage to TNR any of yours?
A positive story?
No, worse injury
I was in highschool, equivalent in Mexico it's called 'prepa', and there's a state library only a few blocks away so a teacher organized an outing there because it's not far and we are basically all 17 and up and can cross the street and just go there and hang out because that's the place where we'll have our photos for graduation taken.
Well we walk there and no one's hurt....but once we are going down a street the teacher starts to panic and try to get us to cross the street but we are a big group of 40 kids and she decided to take 2 classes and the other teacher is trying to help her but we can't all be ushered to cross the street in time and we come to discover a man screaming his head off, he was on a bike and was ran over by a big truck, the driver and one of the teachers are standing on the street, they already had called for an ambulance but for that exact minute the man had to scream in agony.
I have to cross the street, the teacher telling us sternly to not look up and that we couldn't do anything for the man that help was on its way but *not to look at him* , I was with a friend of mine and we are two scared 17 year olds having to cross the street while the man screams.
"Girls, girls!! You girls!! Help me, help me, help me it hurts so much!!!" While crying in absolute pain.
It's certain to say that library visit wasn't a good visit,..also I looked and the man's legs were torn 'around' the bike, literally, there was white bone and red gushing flesh around it.
Man, fuck that teacher. My school gave everyone first aid training and I know multiple people who've used that training already to save lives.
I'm pretty fresh out of school too, and while I was trained for people and haven't needed to save anyone yet, I helped an owner and their dog thats leg got run over by a car. Thanks to my intervention the vets were able to salvage the leg.
That's pretty scary, but there wasnt mich you could do rather than let an adult handle it until the ambulance arrived
@@JasonAizatoZemeckis thats a big part of it because the man had been told the ambulance was on its way but it was like he couldn't understand
@@yunuenhagane3495 yup, the pain was clouding his senses and thoughts, I know how that feels
I hope he's "better" now, but your story sounds like Mustafa (Will Ferrell) from Austin Powers.
_"I'm really badly burned down here! Can somebody help me?! ....Oww! You shot me! You shot me right in the arm!!"_
😂
i brush my teeth the same way as the kid at 42:20 and its funny as hell to think that it sparked a 30 minute debate
Same here. Wet, paste, wet, brush
How else do people do it? Like that actually confused me
Virgo is just Ancient Greek for virgin. So it’s awkward to introduce yourself with your zodiac sign but not that awkward unless only the Virgos in the room introduce themselves that way.
Virgo is my astrological sign!
Fun fact about both of my sons, 21 & 8, they BOTH wash their hands by putting soap on their hands, rubbing them together and THEN turning on the water. The absolute monsters. 😆 In all seriousness, it really skeeves me out but whatever I suppose. It's their hands.
As long as it isn’t bar soap, I don’t think it matters. If it’s bar soap, then they’re not even washing.
I used to say that I've never been stung by a bee. That changed in October of 2018 three days into a new job. We were helping some guys from Mid Columbia Fisheries reclaim a riverbank when one of them stuck his shovel into a wasp nest, causing them to fly everywhere, and I got hit right in the eyebrow. To this day, I still compare it to getting hazed.
but still you haven't been stung by a BEE, have you? or did i miss something..?
The nut in ice age is an acorn not a pine cone.
Me as a student, I watched the nuclear bombs my Dad helped set off. (Was true.) Dad was in Navy, we were stationed on Guam, Dad was on nuclear research team.
I am glad that I've not go through this at my school 😌. Peace be yours ❤😊.
