Wow! I never knew this story about Norway. Boris Yeltsin is laughed at by many for his drinking habits, but when it came to serious decision making, that guy turned out a gem.
Because is not true Russia was laughing nobody gone send 1 rocket to start war ...
@@axa897 did you even watch the video lol
@@axa897 you are one dense guy
@@axa897 You realize that one rocket was thought to be an emp that would’ve disabled all communications and radar? Russia wouldn’t have been able to make a counterattack before thousands of Nukes fell on them.
Absolutely. The old drunk kept a cool head when it was most needed, bless him.
I love how Norway and US ran an experiment, Norway notified Russia of it. The letter was improperly handled by Russia. Russia mistook an innocent rocket for a military one, Russia then almost launched nukes and somehow the takeaway is: “How Norway almost murdered everyone”, LOL
IKR. It was Russias incompetence that almost started a war, not Norway.
I can't really blame anyone except the one guy who ignored the heads up from Norway. Incompetence in government is common, just look at the US multiple times lol.
@@Cman04092 Why would they even launch the missle , 100% bozo behavior from Norway
@@dejanknezevic5395 it was for scientific purposes to study the Aurora Borialis... did you not watch the video?
I feel like Norway could have at least waited for acknowledgement that their message was received.
@@Scooteroy I don't think acknowledgement was the problem. From what I understand from reading the wikipedia page the message reached Russia fine, the problem was that the message was never properly relayed to the radar analysts within Russia.
It's scary to think how fragile our existence truly is..
And the people controlling our fate? Rich old guys
@@bruh-bn3ni it's almost as if they're the most competent of people
@@kakalimukherjee3297 says who? people born in the 50s should not be making decisions for people who are living in 2022. especially since they’re all decrepit
@Joe Blow bro you don’t even know who i am
Hmm
the infographics show narrator calling the production of fortnite a step back in evolution is so funny to me
But, he's not wrong...
@@jonathanwhite3507 lol
Agreed, it is hateful.
Only Appeals to a certain age group not old enough to drink, drive or go to high school. Haha
@@EAcapuccino It kills the braincells of that small group 😂
@@sodaisflat4593 You'd expect to see it on Cartoon network or fox for kids! Lol
Far more appropriate 😅
Facts tho
Cuban Missile Crisis is a good one too. Vasily Arkhipov possibly saved humanity from a nuclear war by convincing his co generals to resurface instead of launching nukes when they thought they were being attacked
islsiyaoiasogrqoa
Yes, I was actually thinking that before I even clicked on the video, and I’m surprised he
Didn’t mention it!
Don't forget before that; he was first being pressured to agree on launching while their submarine was literally raging to 90°C. but man still refused. really shows a lot about his character and morality. but it baffles me how until now he still haven't got any monument in Russia or US, whereas that recent infamous colored criminal got one instead the person who literally saved bunch of generations from possible wiped out.
@@OmarBoxing I think they meant events that actually happened and almost ended humanity. The Cuban Missile Crisis did almost end humanity, but it was resolved and didn't happen.
@@Noname-xr4ql thats true to be honest
A Russian soldier also hesitated to launch a nuke from a submarine, I think we owe the Russian army personnel a huge thank you
Just that soldier.
Honestly no thanks to the General MacArthur too,that guy proposed to nuke Vietnam and China during the Vietnam and Korean war.Which,wasn't even meant to be in the US's business in the first place,they believed if one Asian country fell to communism,the rest would too,which,did not happen.
Vasili Arkhipov was his name.
To bad the same can't be said now
Ya wanna recant that statement now?
Another incident happened in 1983 when the Soviets thought the USA had launched a nuclear attack, A single Soviet officer figured out it was a mistake and disobeyed orders stopping a Soviet full scale launch
also the Cuban missile crisis when 1 of the three men in a submarine decided to stop the attack
What makes the 83 incident even more remarkable was the officer was filling in that shift for a sick comrade who most certainly would have called for launch.
That’s three times in 75 years of nuclear weaponry that it’s come down to one person not pulling the trigger.
@@thebigpicture2032 also count the accident in the NORAD facility back in 1979
@@thebigpicture2032 The other remarkable in that incident was fact that the submarine Vasili was on was raging to 90°C. inspite of being in quite heat and pressured, he's still stood in his morality.
@@thebigpicture2032 good point

Yes
True
Put a cork in it would ya?
holding a forever tool to my head
Norway really said “ I could end it all right now if I wanted too!”
Indonesia Volcano : *"Am I A Joke To You?"*
What happened
@@Guitarmachine115
Norway : "Hey, Our Country And America Is Making A Rocket!"
Russia : "Rocket You Say? **Loads Nukes"**
Norway : "No No No Not That Type Of Rocket! And Innocent Rocket!"
Time for modern day Vikings
"Norway almost murdering everyone on Earth."

develop Nation my foot
@BloodyTiger1 ...what?
Lol what a pun! NOR-WAY 😁😂
@@EAcapuccino Lol!
it is the quite nations you have watch out for .
everyone, dont you just love it when they get straight into the video part of the video after like 7 seconds
CAN YOU STOP PREDICTING THE FUTURE FOR 5 MINUTES
Ever stop to think about why humans have an irrational fear of uncanny Valley faces? E.g. Those animatronics at fairs. Maybe we have had a predator that looked like us, but not quite enough.
Would make a cool movie IMO
Its a pattern for a human face but its unrecognizable as a human face because its not. Its not fear we feel it’s more of an uncomfortableness feeling
Oh i dont like that, actual scary movie?
Another of the great ape family maybe: not quite human, not quite ape and a hairless body. Haunting.
@@grantwalter2243 it is actually for the natural fear of death and deformed people; you have to hate a corpse to run away from the danger that killed that person.
@@daemon2470 No, it's vampires.
Trust me on this.
Volcanic eruptions are the natural disasters I really fear the most followed by tsunamis. My perfect lecture hall- infographic show simply the best 😘
You should really fear a solar micronova. Of which a possible trigger has already entered the solar system. Check what's been happening to the outer planets.
If the Yellowstone volcano in the Western USA were to go off it would be potentially catastrophic for the world
The volcano just started erupting and a 10 mile high ash cloud is in air already,
In the US yellowstone could erupt at anytime right? What if someone used a nuke a make it erupt? Like detonate right on top of it.
I enjoy living in an area where neither are ever expected to reach.
Figures. Humans can't do anything right. We even fail at our extinction.
Yeah humanity is so collectively foolish that it’s adorable
Environmentalists: respect the environment
Infograohics show: the environment almost killed us.
Your videos legitimately make my day; thank you for the informative show! I know I’m always telling others to tune in for one of the best show on the net. :)
“And fortnite, arguably a step backwards in our evolution.” Not arguably, truthfully.
Fortnite is a very important game for a lot of people. Its is test bed for the unreal engine.
^^no one cares.
First
Can confirm. Second was 2 seconds later
Nah I’m first
I sure do love being reminded of our mortality
le cops
@Normisus Cortex Deformicus lol
I believe we've evolved fear of spiders and snakes due to our ancestors negative experiences with the venomous ones. So we retain the fear in our DNA that they had towards them as a precautionary self defense mechanism..
Summary-We are still intrinsically afraid of them for our own well being and survival..
I'm basically the only person I know not scared of creepy crawlies & it seems I passed my love for bugs, spiders, snakes & all that fun stuff to my son & eldest granddaughter, but no matter how hard I tried to get the next in line to like critters she seemed hard wired to fear everything. It's strange how fear works.
Could event X be a disease specific to humans that only stopped because the numbers dropped so low, spreading was impossible
Our entire history is but a grain of sand on the beach compared to the history of Earth. The Earth is but a grain of sand compared to the universe, were so insignificant.
I'm looking for ideas to end humanity. Any suggestions?
Dig to the core of the earth or poison the ocean
@lit sci bruh
No
Virus
Become the president of a country like North Korea and press the red button
It's crazy the world was one decision away from ending.
It needs to happen.
Bassicly we are lucky to be here...got it
Maybe this is a dumb question but couldn't the Russians call and ask if we fired a nuke? I mean, it wouldn't have hurt either way...
Bro I was literally playing Fortnite when he insulted it.
Actually, I heard that the genetic evidence for the bottleneck showed that the human population went down to NINE. So it may have been closer than you think. That's small enough that there was a fair amount of inbreeding. Same with cheetahs, they also had a severe bottleneck and their genetics show a lot of inbreeding in their past.
Oh wait. I might be mixing the 2 things up. Now that I think about it, it may be that the CHEETAH population was what was down to 9.
I would get so laid.
“Our brains were the same form they would be when inventing the space shuttle and fortnite, arguably a step backwards in our evolution” i’m dying lol! 😂
I wouldn't blame Norway if we'd all died, I would blame the two empires that built the evil weapons.
Is it me, or does the narrator sound like he's a Trekkie?
YES I WOULD TOTALLY BELIEVE IN THE SPACE CREEPY CRAWLY THEORY!! IT MAKES TOTAL SENSE
More likely a virus but space invaders are more fun.
@@thebigpicture2032 a zombie virus..
Infographic show! Please make a video about history of Tibet. It’s has a such a sad history, and I think it’s important to bring awareness about this topic. Basically, Tibet was always an isolated nation, which had its own Buddhist culture and traditions. However, after the civil war in China, Communists took over and invaded Tibet. They suppressed Tibet's traditions, they brutally murdered Tibetan people and put them into concentration camps just because the people were living in their own land. (I made a very quick summary, there is actually way more to tell).
I think this event is very important to raise awareness about, as it’s not the only culture that is suffering from such colonization and oppression. For example, the Uighur people in China, and their ancient tradition are fading away; China, to this day sends Uighur people to concentration camps, like what nazis did to Jews. However, China is not to be blamed, this is a straight result of colonialism, communism and dictatorship.
You have negative social credit, ccp will eliminate you
Love the comedy in this video. Keep it up!
If we watch this video once a week for the rest of time Yellowstone will never blow is what I learned today
Genuis
Idgaf that ur first💀
loving the fortnite slander
*At **1:02**, this narrator has doomed humanity! Well, at least he has a calm voice about it!!*
I'm not early, your just late 🤷♂️
Lol wtf is 3 million buildings? Not sure that helps visualize things 😂
please do weird or strange scientist experiments throughout history
Times Humanity almost ended … *so far.*
0:29 now that was a certified hood classic
5:55 Im going with the ALIEN SPIDER PEOPLE harvesting of humans to explain EVENT X. You always leave enough animals behind to reproduce more prey for the next hunt.
5:01 what about a pandemic but much worse that only affected humans?
Desfigured Roblox avatars , being like: 3:12
You realize video games have helped our technology get better
"Intelligent" is a bit too strong a word to describe humans.
Lemmino’s consumed by the apocalypse video has more fun times we could’ve gone extinct
Times we almost blew ourselves up
Ye
when u said that after a week you watch this video Yellowstone national park will erupt i was like
wait what!?
Years ago there were multiple kinds of humans and we got into a war with each other and after the nuclear war only 2 humans survived " Adam and Eve " we were multiplanetory which explains the ruins in mars and the moon, all the Egyptian hieroglyphs and Mayans tells us the story of not aliens but ancient humans fighting each other.
9:00 sanitation did not really change in 14th century, but herd immunity arose and plagues became generational outbreaks. Quarantining helped a little at ports. It wasn’t until 19th century that Jon Snow started epidemiology as a science.
Infographics show, out of Interest who is that character you keep presenting at a desk in many, many videos you presented over the years?
Is that an animated version of 1 of your editors, mangers or something? (guess)
We all already know what you, the host animated self looks like. 😊
10 times world peace was almost achieved
Info graphics am finally early😁😁
One of the reasons why I watch him is because he doesn’t take 5 minutes to tell you why you should subscribe
Id love for the world to slip and fall right on its face! Thats a LOT of damage! xD
Thank you for putting ALMOST in caps in the title, otherwise I wouldn't of known.
This is just PROOF of the great filter!
The Toba eruption makes me wonder what would happen if (a) the Gulf Stream collapses due to melting ice from Greenland and (b) Yellowstone erupts... both around the same time. How big a temperature drop can nature achieve?
I really wanna know who Narrates these videos
5:46
My boy wearing that new Kanye? 👀👀
No way he just dissed fortnite like that 😭
God or gods (whatever you believe in): How are you not dead?
Humans: I have no idea
The one that I liked the most was the first one. It’s the event I think about the most cuz that would’ve really been it. And from those couple of thousand came out about 8 billion today. Humanity is much more closely linked that we believe
Yep, humanity is actually among the more homogeneous species around. You can find more genetic diversity between populations of chimps living within 100 miles of one another than across the entire human population of 8 billion individuals. Yet another reason racism is utterly senseless.
It’s kinda neat to think about all the legendary figures in human history and realize that, at least biologically, they were almost exactly like you.
the infographic show: and when Norway almost murdring evryone
me leving in Norway: oh
A ton “quippier” than normal but loved the part where you made fun of fortnite
6:30 Honestly I would prefer calling that a theory... AN INFOGRAPHIC THEORY
Congrats on 11 mil subscribers!
I know the “8 legged creatures attacking after dark” is a joke but it just makes me sad that this is how all the ancient aliens conspiracies get started.
bleeding called blood letting
6:17 Do you have any idea how out of control a court that handles criminal matters would be if they went by that ! Where is your hard evidence ??
Actually several potential humanity ending nuclear incidents have occurred starting with the Cuban Crisis. Doesn’t count still classified incidents and countries outside of Russia and the United States.
it ended the day we started wearing mask
6:30 "We're nto saying this did happen, but we are saying that science can't prove this didn't happen." Did you know that nowhere in the bible does it say that Jesus was NOT a velociraptor?
Norway almost commits omnicide
I’m surprised we survived
It's a crying shame that we did 😢. The earth was SOOOO close to being able to start it's healing processes. But we survived, and that's a tragedy.
What if Boris made a horrible decision and the missile was indeed a nuclear rocket launched from Norway supported by the US?
I love how he straightforward roasting Fortnite developer and Gwyneth Paltrow
There was also Chernobyl. If it wasn't for the Ukrainian suicide squad the fallout could have spread throughout Europe which would have caused a few wars.
Ships bringing early Christmas presents from Asia! sounds familiar?😅
Would a huge volcano erupting help global warming? You said it would drop the earth's temperature, fingers crossed 🤞
Divine intervention is the reason. Even in today’s times, humans around the world know a war is coming. The end is coming. Jesus will come and the wicked will be judged. God has changed my life for the better. I was able to quit being lukewarm. One night, I got this bit of anger off my chest. Afterwards, I felt better. I felt a coolness in my heart. I was at peace. God saved me and I listen to His Word. He speaks to me in ways I can understand. This is my testimony. I’m telling you. God is real.
Anyone else here from seeing the artwork, thinking it was a new Kurzgesagt video? 😂
There's a fact here we all got to think about, ever since that 1995 Norwegian missile incident there have been no near world wide extinction events since, the Ukraine war doesn't necessarily count either because Ukraine isn't in NATO, but the fact that such a situation hasn't come around in so long only means it's going to happen soon, somehow in a way we'll either 100% know about or with 0 warning.
randomly went on RUclips after a couple days and saw that the infographics show posted a video 59 seconds ago :)
Volcanoes are usually blamed for almost killing human species
Finally, someone who recognizes that Fortnite was a massive leap in the direction we had come from
I wish humanity did go extinct.
Me too brother
There was aldo OPERATION ABLE ARCHER -83 which was a NATO headquarters operation. The Soviets thought it was n American nuclear launch but it turned ou to bethe sun shining clouds and fotunstely, the colonel in charge of the USSR's nuclear response chose to disobey orders and NOT launch the Sovieet Union's nuclear missiles.
In terms of large explosions, Yellowstone has experienced three at 2.08, 1.3, and 0.631 million years ago. This comes out to an average of about 725,000 years between eruptions. That being the case, there is still about 100,000 years to go, but this is based on the average of just two numbers, which is meaningless.... that's what Google said I had to Google it cuz they made me trip out
If yellowstone erupts im suing!
Never forget that the existence of the uncanny valley implies that we are genetically coded to fear something that looks human but isn't
Early from Nigeria 🇳🇬
the infographics show is an urban news channel in itself lol
*Reasons why the world almost ended*
Past: Natural events
Future: Politics
