There are dry valleys in Antarctica that have little snow, just winds so strong they sculpt rock and iced up rocky terrain, so you see ice, but no deep snow. Because the winds are so violent, no penguins go there.

Was at a dive bar for a birthday party a number of years ago. An older woman in our party wanted to do a karaoke version of Joplin's classic "Mercedes Benz"; the last song she would record before her death. The problem was (still is), is that one can't do a karaoke version of Mercedes Benz (the only other noise in the song besides her voice is Joplin banging her foot on the floor of the recording studio.) Tried informing her (and everyone else at our table of this, but was ignored.) So, she gets up on stage, the lady running the karaoke machine that night then found some other song with the same title, the machine did its job and removed the words to that tune, and, well sir, the disaster began. She's singing "Oh lord, won't you buy me....., the music to some song that not one of us had ever heard was playing and the whole thing was quite the mess.
To be fair Mexico City's "water table" is actually the water of an old lake. The Aztecs built their capital Tenochtitlan (which is now the center of Mexico City) in the center of the lake. They later built the surrounding city on the lake bed after the lake was drained by the Spanish.
There’s also underground caves in Mexico City which could be a culprit in sinking issues ( some caves even were found to contain Incan artifacts and most have been unexplored
At 4:53, I've always wondered how putting the best A.I.'s against each other in a game of chess would turn out. Would the game be brief? Or would it go on and on and on. I'd like to see Google's Gemini A.I. go against Chat GPT 5's A.I..
The Scots may have tons of words for snow but the Germans have the best one: graupel. Graupel can best be described as teeny tiny snowballs. Not flakes and not sleet.
Yeah that steak looks different, depending on if I use A1 or Heinz 57 sauce. They're delicious with a salad an loaded baked potato, sorry I'm a carnivore.
How can insects comprise half of all living things when they could have tonnes of bacteria living inside each of them? I call bs on this one. Someone care to explain?
@@list25 I might try Googling it. Just did, apparently there are places called Paradise, but the nearest I could find was the Hemel in Hemel Hempstead in England, with the Hemel meaning Heaven in Dutch. As a Brit, I find that funny, because it's one of those boring home counties provincial towns, outside of London. 😁
You are incorrect about monopoly. It was first called the landlord game and was invented by a woman. He actually stole it from her. Dig deeper. Attorneys actually went to her home and paid her $500 for the rights.
I love the show's content and watch all the time. I have one criticism though. Mike - I don't want to hear about your personal life , just stick to the facts. Especially, name dropping all the places you've traveled to... annoying. It's just my opinion and I'm sure others might disagree with me. No insult, just input. 🐝
Agree to disagree. Anyone can just read facts. I think bringing in my personality and stories helps people connect with someone. Hopefully most people feel like I am a friend they can just have a conversation with. Also for myself it makes the videos more fun to do. I like laughing and making people laugh. If I have fun doing the videos, I hope most others watching will too.
I can add to tbe Bee fact; I spent nearly 2 years outside on the front porch, working and just being there, here in South-West Virginia. We had wasps start moving in, which was alarming at first, until I realized the wasps I was seeing most of the time are non-agressive and have small hives. What was even more fascinating was the discovery that the wasps would investigate me, curious about my presence, and did not try to attack me to drive me off. I mean I was there first! Then the best part started happening; my friend wasps began to defend me from yellow jackets and larger hornets that were quite aggressive toward me. I had maybe 4 nests close to me and another 6 along the porch on the other side of the door. The queens would come over and greet me every day when I came out and got settled for the day, and their daughters would greet me now and then as they went about their day. When yellow jackets appeared, the queen would come out and signal the other wasps to come and drive the invader out! If an invading wasp or hornet refused to leave, well, I'd find them later, cut in half, often with their wings ripped out too. I knew wasps could recognize faces, so I am not surprised that Bees can as well.
I went to school with twins born 6 weeks apart - and we were born in the mid-sixties! Not quite the same gap but given the date, very impressive that they survived. The Scots have that many words for snow, of which about a dozen are broadcastable! 😂 (Just teasing my Celtic cousins 🏴🏴)
LOL, no wonder I don't play chess! There is a beefalo farm in my area. They look like miniature buffalo. Too cute! You're so funny Mike!! you're the main reason I watch List25 😊
You are 3,000% better at pronunciation than all of RUclips . I give obvious foreign based channels a pass on some pronunciations but there are so many bad channels out there. I run RUclips in the background often and some i have to run with captions to figure out some common words, numbers and celebrity names. There’s one channel out there that reads out abbreviations by S T instead of street and years by each individual number like 2 0 2 3 instead of 2023. Something i have to rewind to figure out what they just said. And of course,they’re the ones that ask for likes , comments and support for their channel. Sometimes their photos don’t match either. I saw one today where there were photos of Jerry Lewis and Jerry Lee Lewis in the video as if they were talking about the same person.😊
Wisconsin here. Can confirm the cow thing. Cows are adorable and can be as stubborn as a mule but mostly just as cute as they seem. Go hug a cow. I think there's a Hell, Minnesota or Michigan? I should remember which one? Anyway MI or MN out there?
Not sure what conversion you're using but 25°C is nowhere near 13°F (ref. 10:08 timestamp). 25°C is 77°F and 13°C is about 55°F. I do notice that -25°C is -13°F so perhaps that is the temperature point you were trying to communicate but that's not what the video shows nor what Mike narrated.
Merry Christmas, Mike! I grew up having largely diced and browned spam in mac and cheese as a thrifty dinner entree. We always 'knew' it was spiced ham and the whole family loved it. I'm in my 60's and still make it. Kudos on your pronunciations. They sounded legit to me so I say that's a win! 😂
Also if what I've heard and read is correct Beefalo were used to work on bringing back the population of buffalo from the brink of extinction. Creating the beefalo then working on breeding the cow out of it until it was back to just buffalo.
I grew up camping in the High Sierras. Traveled with family through the south. Mosquitos were always an issue. Moved to Portland (OR) 5 years ago and camped many times and nary a sight of a mosquito. I assume they must be here, but haven't seen a bug or a Sasquatch yet.
I'm shook! Mike, Monopoly was invented by a woman. "Who was the real inventor of Monopoly? In fact, the rules to the game had been invented in Washington DC in 1903 by a bold, progressive woman named Elizabeth Magie. But her place in the game's folk history was lost for decades and ceded to the man who had picked it up at his friend's house: Charles Darrow." Idk what to think...
One of my professors was involved with debunking the myth about Inuit having so many words for snow. The elders in the village were asked very plainly how many words they had for snow. The answer was that they had as many words for it as there were in English, as in one or two. The myth was perpetuated mostly because, as in many languages, they have a lot of adjectives...but none exclusive to snow.
Beefalo is DELICIOUS! After the USDA decided to quit giving Natives (at least in the Cherokee Nation) Bison meat back in the early-mid 2000's they switched us to Beefalo. It's lean, tasty, healthy...but last I knew they quit including Beefalo too.
Monopoly derived from "The landlords game". Created in 1903 by Lizzie Magie. Darrow played the game and just changed a couple things and called it Monopoly.
when i was in elementary school the vowels were: “a e i o u and sometimes y !!” this was in the ‘50’s. i doubt things have changed since then. so rhythm does have a vowel!!!!!! now, is there a word with no consonants? LOL🤣🌷🌱
Mike, I trust you more than anyone on the internet. Sometimes I will say to others, "According to Mike Estrin on his show list 25 blah, blah, blah." Isn't that something? I love facts the way some love collecting. I have since I was a little tiny kid. I was a whizz at trivial pursuit. Cheers from Ocala, FLA
I have a lot of facts most people don’t know. Everyone has. I’m a neurosurgeon and medical researcher . I have recorded and examined a lot of micro biology and learn about very infectious illnesses. And how neurology systems. I also am military, for 30 years old counting. I’m in the guard now. I’m not Rambo, 😆. But I know a lot about different parts. I’m sure most people know facts most people don’t know.
"Sub'-sigh-dense" is how we pronounce subsidence here in PA. (We have a lot due to coal mining.) What is the correct pronunciation? .... Because that's the thing that stuck out for me in this entire video 🙄
Hell, Michigan, got its name from the German word hell, which translates to orange from the city having a German population, and this city also turns orange in the fall from all the maple trees.
actually Charles Darrow didn't invent Monopoly he stole the idea and a actual game from a lady who tried to pitch it to parker brothers and the lady took em to court and didn't get anywhere with it..she invented a game called the land Lord game i believe it was called and it was extremely close to monopoly...there was a 2020 Documentary about it on PBS..apart of their frontline series if I recall..and there was even a guy who invented a Anti monopoly game teaching the dangers of monoplies ironically enough parker brothers had the audacity and nerve to try to sue him for stealing a game they stole originally in the first place

great video as always ... perhaps try the Dutch words for rain ;-)
There’s also underground caves in Mexico City which could be a culprit in sinking issues ( some caves even were found to contain Incan artifacts and most have been unexplored
13F?! That's pretty warm for a low winter temp...
Can a "Bee"falo recognize you ???
25° C is not cold how the hell can Hell freeze over at 25° C ?
25° Celsius is 77° Fahrenheit
We have been to Hell in Grand Caymen.
There is a post office there for mail. 😮

this guys and his jokes cracks me up lol
Me too lol
Hawaii has a beach made frome the sand from 1 of my local beaches (Port Kembla beach)
The sand which is here ........ really !!!!!!!!!!!! 🤔🤔🤔 ....... 🤣
There’s also a Hell, MI!
" CWM" is the shortest English word with no vowels and I didn't know the number 18 is sounded out as ten lol
Hell Michigan freezes too
Some many bugs, no wonder I get bitten sometimes. 😁
I’m impressed lol actually
The Scots may have tons of words for snow but the Germans have the best one: graupel. Graupel can best be described as teeny tiny snowballs. Not flakes and not sleet.
I do not play chess, and never plan to.
number 18 was 18! not Ten!
Why is it that when you watch a dodgy paranormal video they say it was recorded on a potato?
I see 🪝
Yeah that steak looks different, depending on if I use A1 or Heinz 57 sauce. They're delicious with a salad an loaded baked potato, sorry I'm a carnivore.
How can insects comprise half of all living things when they could have tonnes of bacteria living inside each of them? I call bs on this one. Someone care to explain?
If there's a town called Hell, is there a town called Heaven?
Probably

Why is y not a vowel in English. I will never get it, English makes no sense as always :/
Bye buddy, hope you find your dad… Thanks Mr. Narwhal
Greenland is not a country
It's kinda the largest country in the Kingdom of Denmark. It's a country in the same way that England is a country in the United Kingdom.
Dying here at attempted Scottish pronunciation. Mike is so adorable though, we totally forgive him, he's welcome here any day!!!!! 😊😊
Thanks Mike! This is the amazing content I need in my life. I do miss Tristan...
Greatings from Upper Michigan! There is also a Hell, Michigan!

Sounds like bee shit to me.
I agree! Ive said it before that im still waiting for the "25 reasons to love Mike!"
Mike is so modest someone else would have to do the show. And I'm pretty sure there'd need to be more than one

I think the closest relative to T Rex is a chicken for the folks that want to know.
Imagine what Colonel Sanders could do with a T-Rex!!!
I believe Mike cold reads all these amazing lists.. wow!!! ❤
I do lol
Love the content.
Love the channel.
Love Mike.
I don't know which would be worse - bubblegum-flavored broccoli, or broccoli-flavored bubblegum.........
Or pees.... yuck
Thanks! It's always fun watching you and learning something new :-)
LOL, no wonder I don't play chess!
There is a beefalo farm in my area. They look like miniature buffalo. Too cute!
You're so funny Mike!!
you're the main reason I watch List25 😊
Thank you!
Thanx Mike,you always entertain!Only in Scotland can you have a word like 'Dreich' which means; "cold,wet & windy" !! One word for so much!😆😆😆
Somebody's gotta say it. Mike, you're adorable! ❤
Agreed. If I ever had the privilege of meeting him, I would fan girl like crazy!😊
Just stop it
I must agree 😊
Right! He is like a cuddly Teddy Bear 🥰
Agreed!
You did again Mike, I just started singing the Monty Python Spam song. 🎶😆
YEAH! CHAMP MIKE!!! 😃
Great job being on all those teams. I bet you Dad was proud.
Well....I hope he would have been but he passed when I was 7.

Star Trek's Scotty might say of your pronunciations, "Mike cunnah make the words work, Captain!"

In northern Michigan, we have a few extra words for snow, too. However, I’m sure you aren’t supposed to pronounce some of them on RUclips. 😂

The southern hemisphere is summer December to February
"Have you ever wondered if you can find mosquitos in Iceland?"
.......No.
Yo man Scotland here, you pretty much nailed it
Thank you so much. That means a lot. Seriously. I like to make sure I pronounce things as correctly (or close to it) as I can.

Excuse me! Mike. My name is Kym, spelt with a Y, & that comment on Y wishy washiness is completely true😂
Your accent is quite good! You're Pakistani, right?
Spam is wonderful if fried but horrible straight out of the can.
I find it ironic the mother of the twins is Irish..literal and figurative Irish twins
Hell doesn't have a church in it that's just priceless
10:07 - Don't you mean minus 25 °C or minus 13 °F?

Hey, that was fun, and plenty woah !! I like spam also. I have no idea how those Scottish worlds should sound either. 👍👍
Earliest known version, known as The Landlord's Game, was designed by Elizabeth Magie and first patented in 1904.
was doing a word search puzzle, found an extra word. to date, is the LONGEST extra word, I've ever found!
the word was " RESTLESSLY"😲
I can't believe my hometown was mentioned!! Wooo Waterford!!! Les gooooo!!
Monopoly derived from "The landlords game". Created in 1903 by Lizzie Magie. Darrow played the game and just changed a couple things and called it Monopoly.
