The _Electric Soldier Porygon_ Pokémon episode incident was banned for triggering seizures to hundreds of children in Japan and is widely blamed on the pokémon Porygon for the cause because the entire episode was about it but in actuality it was Pikachu's fault because the flashing lights effect came from Pikachu's thunderbolt attack.

The Monopoly video game codifies that putting money in the middle for free parking is an _optional_ rule, but an officially recognized rule nonetheless.
True. I try to avoid the phrase altogether but I try to make it clear if I actually mean *could* care less. Like, I care to a degree but I don't think I would or should be losing sleep over something.
My friends and I love playing Monopoly. We used to do house rules but eventually cut it back by doing the actual rules. Which saves about 4 hrs of game time. And that's just having the extra money from free parking.

There's a second nitpick about Jonestown. People say "drank the kool-aid" to mean you're buying into a belief, but members of Jonestown didn't "drink the kool-aid" upon joining.

15:44 Not entirely accurate. "Hanged" is the past participial of the verb "to hang." It would be hung in the sentence "he hung there for two weeks" because "hung" is the past tense of to hang. It's only "hanged" when the verb is formed into a participle (basically a verb used as another part of speech e.g. to "noun-ify" a verb), thus "he was hanged."
So with Monopoly the truth is the rules have changed a bit and back in the 1980s Monopoly literally did say in the rules different ways to put money in the center. I have right now 10 versions of Monopoly and 3 of them have different ways to add money to the center. I use to have Monty Pythonoploy and dear god all money was put into the center when not paying a person so the game could literally have one person who bought the properties gain every single dollar back.
yeah I have no doubt the rules changed BUT most of what he is referring to I have never heard of (and the houses/hotels can run out. I don't remember exactly how many are in a set but if there aren't enough to upgrade to 4 houses on each property in the set then you can only upgrade to the point where you run out of houses. it doesn't matter if you want to skip straight to hotels, you are not allowed to. and this isn't a house rule, this is an actual rule according to the monopoly companion) edit: also free parking *is* just free parking. you don't have to pay any money to anybody or anything. also I'm pretty sure it does have to be auctioned if you don't want to buy it
Not only that, but according to a TV show I saw quite a few years ago, Monopoly was a derivation of another game which had totally opposite goals to the current game. You were supposed to NOT get a monopoly in order to win.
"Begging the question" is also known as "assuming the conclusion", and is where the logical argument relies on the conclusion already being correct. E.g., "humans are smarter than other animals because humans are more human-like" already assumes that humans are the smartest animal without proving it first.
Even worse is when people say "chai caffè latte" because they think "latte" is short for "caffè latte". Chai latte literally means tea with milk. Caffè latte means coffee with milk. A chai caffè latte, if such a thing existed, would be tea with coffee with milk.

1:25 my family and i always read all the rules and play the games *as they should be played* but my friends make up rules and tell me "well you never even read the manual, then", so i show them the manual to confirm what i know. no, i'm not fun at parties
My hypothesis is that the phrase is "I couldn't care less" and it has been incorrectly abbreviated. That's how I use it and have heard it in some places.
The phrase is "I couldn't care less." It's supposed to mean that you literally do not care at all and couldn't possibly care any less than you do, which is not at all. "I could care less," implies that you do care, to some extent.
It would still be a "cement sidewalk" if you only mixed it with water. It wouldn't blow away, it would just crack way too easily. The sand and gravel add strength (which is why it's called concrete). Cement is sometimes used for rendering, but not for anything that needs to support weight. Side note: mortar is cement mixed with sand, but without the gravel.
@@sleazybtd cement powder and water is still called cement. That's precisely what cement rendering is done with. (it's not called grout rendering.) There are different types of grout, some of which contain sand and some of which don't. Grout can actually be identical in composition to mortar in some cases, and the only thing that makes it grout and not mortar is what it's used for. It can't be just cement and water though; there will always be some other types of minerals mixed in if there's no sand.
@@Jivvi I use grout (cement and water) to fill piles. The mix I use is extremely wet so it has more of a consistency of olive oil. I use the same mix for cellular concrete, which is cement, water, and bubbles. I've never done cement rendering before, but from the pictures I saw, it looks like a dry mix, which isn't the same as consistency as the cement/water mix that I've been using.
@@sleazybtd Yeah there's lots of uses for it. The point is that "grout" doesn't specify what might be mixed with it. Some types of grout (epoxy grout for example) don't even contain cement. "Cement" is a word that tells you what it's made of, whereas "grout" is a word that tells you what it will be used for.
Yes, but it was the US that started using it as though it was the actual name of the sport. It was always slang in the UK, like calling table tennis "ping pong", or rugby "rugger".
Frankenstein IS the name of the monster. He takes the name of his creator as a way to further rub salt in the wounds of the doctor. Despite what is said in the video, this is in the book.
@@TheShadowguy64 The only name the monster ever gives himself in the book is "the Adam of your labours". He's referred to as "Frankenstein's monster" but never as "Frankenstein".
Frankenstein is part of his name, not his name per se The complete name is frankenstein's monster Like the mythical creature from scotland being called just loch ness without the monster part added, now called nessie for short
@@GarkKahn Nessie is a name. Loch Ness is the name of the loch, not the monster. And "Frankenstein's monster" is not a name at all, just a description of who he is. By the same logic you could say your name is part of your mother's name, because she's called "GarkKahn's mother". There are many ways you could describe who someone is in relation to someone else, but most of them are not names.
Nobody that I’ve ever told about this has ever heard of this method on how to use ‘who’ and ‘whom’ correctly in a sentence. Most people don’t know how or that there’s any difference, and they’ve just been told “whom” is fancier, so you should use it more in writing, but this just isn’t true. Here’s how to tell when to use ‘who’ or ‘whom.’ Turn whatever sentence you’re about to say/write into a question. For instance, “who is going to the barbecue?” Then answer it. “He is going to the barbecue.” So here, using ‘who’ is right. But in another instance, such as, “Who does this coat belong to?” the answer should be “The coat belongs to him.” This is where the right word is “whom.” Regardless of whether the situation even has a singular male or not, it’s useful because when it’s ‘he,’ then it’s ‘who.’ But when it’s ‘him,’ then it’s ‘whom.’ The m at the end helps to remind you more easily. Hope this helps with your grammar journey!!
4:22 IIRC, Sherlock does say that his deductions are "elementary", and refer to Watson as "my dear Watson" on various occasions in the stories. He just never uses the two together. 14:18 I see that sort of thing (where the question is using the common, but technically wrong, word for something) come up as trick questions all the time.
Idk if this was mentioned but it’s somewhat significant in biological terms. The plural for octopus is not octopuses, that’s assuming that the word is Latin, which it isn’t. So if you were to go with the proper Greek suffix for a word ending in “us”, it would be Octopodes
I thought Jacuzzis and hot tubs were two different things... like.. I thought a Jacuzzi was a type of fancy bath?? In my defense this thought started when I was younger and I just didnt question it until now. Plus there were two hot tubs but we only called the one in the bathroom a Jacuzzi.
The sad thing is that if you point out any of these is regular conversation, you’ll quickly adopt the “insufferable know-it-all” label among social circles.
The fruit of the tree of knowledge eaten by Adam and Eve in the Bible was not an apple. It actually doesn't say at all what kind of fruit it was. Everyone thinks it's an apple for some reason, but that word is never used.
I would say that the colloquial term of the question begs to be asked is now more common and more proper than the traditional begetting the question definition. To the point that I would say it's wrong to use the official way. You should use the term circular reasoning instead because it does not cause confusion
2:50 I feel identified with this one A friend of mine got his mind destroyed by drugs and constantly asks for his wife (she died in 2011) and asks how are some of our friends, most of them died due to gang violence including my little brother years ago, sometimes i try to keep my mind busy with other things while talking to him because it's tough for me to see him in that state and also every time my brother is mentioned i always feel a mix of sadness and rage for his murder
3:06 Always happened with my friends while playing a variant of this, when the last ball from your side is gone, you must now put the 8-ball in that same hole or you lose the game Countless times they put it on any hole and declared themselves winners when in reality they just lost by that mistake According to the rules of that variant is the same as scoring on your own goal and counting it on your favor It happened eons ago so i forgot the name of this specific variant
Irregardless. So many people kept saying this that they actually put it in the dictionary bc we’d rather keep lowering the bar than correctly say something.
3:13 Theres actually several different rules for pool. 4:41 That depends on where you are then, cause where I am assault is when acrual damage is done, and battery is just causing pain. 7:25 Ive never heard loud speakers called tannoy. 8:55 Actually plastic is not organic either.
3:13 I may be wrong, but this may be an American thing. My wife and her friends (Vietnamese) play ball in hand rule; honestly, I think it's more challenging with the ball in hand rule in place because the penalty for scratching is so much more severe thus making the need to not scratch on any given shot more dire.
8:17 My family always just drew one card. I only assumed the rule was to keep drawing cards when I saw the Ubisoft version, where keeping drawing cards ist the actual rule.
Im surprised no one brought up misconceptions from cartoons. - Rabbits dont like carrots that much. Bugs bunny eating carrots was visual gag making fun of an OLD actor who smoked alot of cigars. - monkeys dont like bannas. They're too sugary for their tastes - you cant slip on banana peels like in the cartoons - quicksand isnt that common and there are ways to escape. Like in a foam pit, try to lay flat and roll out - possoms dont play dead. They can get stressed out enough to literally pass out. Hence, "playing dead" - bees are docile until threatened - shark attacks aren't common
5:15 I started off worried, then felt very relieved.😌 I had a lecturer at Uni who was a big player in the glass industry and somehow even _he_ perpetuated the 'viscous liquid' nonsense.😳 The glass people are looking at and say "it's thicker at the base, so must be liquid" seems to often only be Victorian, maybe Tudor/late-Medieval at a push, yet we have glass ornaments that are Roman... Those are not exactly puddle shaped after 2000years.😂
Not to mention, lead is less viscous, a billion times more fluid than glass. By the time glass thickens considerably, no more lead will hold the glass, all of it should be in the floor. Glass can "run" like a liquid, but it does so in a timescale in the order of millions, billions of years. Yeah, we are not observing that.

This reminds me of the scrabble club I joined in high school and the first time I played a word using all 7 of my tiles - no one believed you had to add fifty(50) points to the word as a 'full deck' bonus. 😞 Such sad.
The UNO one pissed me off because I always played where you draw one card if you can't plah, and then it moves on. I was playing with my parents one day(64 and 54 years old) and I pulled one and look at my mom. She was like "What are you doing?" And I was like "It's your turn. What are YOU doing?" And then she told me I have tk draw until I can lay and I was like "That's absolute bull. What's to stop me from having the whole deck in my hand?" And she was like "That's what makes it fun". NO! THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT SADISTIC!!! HOW ARE YOU EVER GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE AT WINNING AND IT'S JUST A WASTE OF TIME AND CARDS!! I read off the rules which said that the player draws one card and then the game continues but my mom, being a narcissistic psychopathic sadist made me play it that way anyway and thus I will never play UNO with my mother ever again. Her argument for continuing to pull cards was that it's the way she's always played it. Stupidist thing I've ever heard.
I played with someone who thought you just draw one card and lose your turn. And then when I drew one card and used it, she was like "What are you doing?". Up until then, I had no idea she thought you couldn't use the card immediately if possible. So I pulled out the rules and confirmed that that is the entire point of drawing a card.

Open and locked differential torque distribution (car stuff). A lot of people, even knowlegable ones like car journalists, get it wrong. When one wheel spins in the air there's no way 100% of the torque magically transfers to it. Those cone satellite gear thingies are perfectly symmetrical. If the force is applied to the center, no matter how they spin they exert the same force on their left and right edges. Try it yourself by balancing some sort of cleaning stick tool thingy between two soft, idk, chairs, sofas, etc. and watch which end swuishes the soft surface more depending on where you apply force on the stick. It's the same left and right if you do it in the middle! Yet somehow there's people who still believe in 100% to the spinning wheel nonsense. Car immobilizes because it's 50:50, and the spinning wheel can't hold that much torque, and, as a result, the wheel on the ground gets the same small amount. As for locked differential, forget about those satellite gears. The whole axle acts as a rigid stick, torque goes wherever it can, which mean to whatever wheel that can apply it. Yes, despite the lack of sophisticated electronics it's actially plain and simple locked differential that actually distributes torque in perfect match of wheel's traction. If you don't believe me, try to rotate a pencil with your finger. Since rotating torque and stopping torque are physically the same, you can just hold the middle of the pencil with one of your hand and try to rotate it with the other. You will notice that no matter how far or close to either end you grab the pencil with your fingers and turn it, you have to make the same resistance with the hand that holds its middle. That means that the rigidity of the pencil helps the torque find its way to wherever it's most needed. And what car journalists say? "It'S sYmMEtRiCaL fIfTy-FiFty dIsTrIBuTiOn!!1"
_Y'all_ is a rare example of a "slang" deviation from proper English that generally improves the clarity and precision of the language. It functions as the second-person plural pronoun that modern English effectively dropped.** Many languages have multiple second-person pronouns, and it's a useful convention. ** Technically, _y'all_ replaces rather than restores the second-person plural. The now-singular _you_ used to be plural-only, back when English used _thou_ or _thee_ (depending on case) as singular.

That tomatoes and pumpkins are fruits and not vegetables. So are cucumbers, squash, peppers, eggplants, corn kernels, and bean and pea pods are all fruits.

Yeah the Monopoly house rules. We tried playing legit by the book once with a group of 5. It was over in like 90 mins, although to be fair, one guy got a monopoly really early, not a good one but still.
That's kind of the point. It's not supposed to take hours and hours, but all the rules people make up make it take longer. And then people complain it takes too long. 90 minutes is about right.
The monster is referred to as Doctor Frankenstein's creation in the same sense that God created Adam. Pretty dang close to a son, if you ask me. And since Frankenstein is a surname, I'll call both of them by said name.
16:50 Yeah, that is still hacking.

Newtonian physics is riddled with enough exceptions as to not actually hold up to scrutiny. However, most of those exceptions only exist/become relevant in places light years away from Earth. Since humans can't get that far away from the planet yet, we just go with it because the situations we encounter here on Earth don't require us to care, and the one major exception we can actually encounter (oobleck/Non-Newtonian fluid) is just a cool curiosity with little greater implication.
From the official rules, in the section specifically about playing with two players: *Playing a Reverse card acts like a Skip. The player who plays the Reverse may immediately play another card.*
@@yeighseph1976 Per the actual rules, it specifically does act as a Skip, because changing direction would have no effect. With three players, it still just acts as a Reverse, which might look like a Skip if you only look at who goes next, but not if you look at the order of play after that.

6:24 It’s not that the millennium started in the Year 2001, but rather that the Year 2000 was actually the 2,001st year.

15:44 Not entirely accurate. "Hanged" is the past participial of the verb "to hang." It would be hung in the sentence "he hung there for two weeks" because "hung" is the past tense of to hang. It's only "hanged" when the verb is formed into a participle (basically a verb used as another part of speech e.g. to "noun-ify" a verb), thus "he was hanged."
So with Monopoly the truth is the rules have changed a bit and back in the 1980s Monopoly literally did say in the rules different ways to put money in the center. I have right now 10 versions of Monopoly and 3 of them have different ways to add money to the center. I use to have Monty Pythonoploy and dear god all money was put into the center when not paying a person so the game could literally have one person who bought the properties gain every single dollar back.
yeah I have no doubt the rules changed BUT most of what he is referring to I have never heard of (and the houses/hotels can run out. I don't remember exactly how many are in a set but if there aren't enough to upgrade to 4 houses on each property in the set then you can only upgrade to the point where you run out of houses. it doesn't matter if you want to skip straight to hotels, you are not allowed to. and this isn't a house rule, this is an actual rule according to the monopoly companion)
edit: also free parking *is* just free parking. you don't have to pay any money to anybody or anything. also I'm pretty sure it does have to be auctioned if you don't want to buy it
Not only that, but according to a TV show I saw quite a few years ago, Monopoly was a derivation of another game which had totally opposite goals to the current game. You were supposed to NOT get a monopoly in order to win.
Another example, calling a bandage a bandaid. That is the name brand not the product.
"Begging the question" is also known as "assuming the conclusion", and is where the logical argument relies on the conclusion already being correct. E.g., "humans are smarter than other animals because humans are more human-like" already assumes that humans are the smartest animal without proving it first.

I learned about Champagne from Wayne's World when I was a kid.
Adhesive bandages are called Band-aids by basically all non medical people. It doesn’t matter what brand is actually being used.
In the UK they call them plasters.
My hypothesis is that the phrase is "I couldn't care less" and it has been incorrectly abbreviated. That's how I use it and have heard it in some places.
The phrase is "I couldn't care less." It's supposed to mean that you literally do not care at all and couldn't possibly care any less than you do, which is not at all. "I could care less," implies that you do care, to some extent.
It would still be a "cement sidewalk" if you only mixed it with water. It wouldn't blow away, it would just crack way too easily. The sand and gravel add strength (which is why it's called concrete). Cement is sometimes used for rendering, but not for anything that needs to support weight.
Side note: mortar is cement mixed with sand, but without the gravel.
Cement and water is grout.
Add sand and it's mortar
Add stone and it's concrete.
@@sleazybtd cement powder and water is still called cement. That's precisely what cement rendering is done with. (it's not called grout rendering.) There are different types of grout, some of which contain sand and some of which don't. Grout can actually be identical in composition to mortar in some cases, and the only thing that makes it grout and not mortar is what it's used for. It can't be just cement and water though; there will always be some other types of minerals mixed in if there's no sand.
@@Jivvi I use grout (cement and water) to fill piles. The mix I use is extremely wet so it has more of a consistency of olive oil.
I use the same mix for cellular concrete, which is cement, water, and bubbles.
I've never done cement rendering before, but from the pictures I saw, it looks like a dry mix, which isn't the same as consistency as the cement/water mix that I've been using.
@@sleazybtd Yeah there's lots of uses for it. The point is that "grout" doesn't specify what might be mixed with it. Some types of grout (epoxy grout for example) don't even contain cement.
"Cement" is a word that tells you what it's made of, whereas "grout" is a word that tells you what it will be used for.
@@Jivvi Yes, there are many types of grout, but a cement/water mix is also a type of grout.
The U.K. came up with the term "soccer", not the U.S.A.
Yes, but it was the US that started using it as though it was the actual name of the sport. It was always slang in the UK, like calling table tennis "ping pong", or rugby "rugger".
Homophobia, technically speaking means an irrational fear to sameness.
“i-is that a human??!! iS THAT ANOTHER HUMAN?! WHY ARE WE ALL THE SAME SPECIES??!!!! AAAUGGHHH-“

Frankenstein IS the name of the monster. He takes the name of his creator as a way to further rub salt in the wounds of the doctor.
Despite what is said in the video, this is in the book.
So in summary...
Frankenstein is the doctor
Frankenstein is the monster
Frankenstein is the monster made by a monster who is a doctor
@@djdomain Just rename every character to Frankenstein just to be safe
@@TheShadowguy64 The only name the monster ever gives himself in the book is "the Adam of your labours".

Like the mythical creature from scotland being called just loch ness without the monster part added, now called nessie for short
@@GarkKahn Nessie is a name. Loch Ness is the name of the loch, not the monster.
And "Frankenstein's monster" is not a name at all, just a description of who he is. By the same logic you could say your name is part of your mother's name, because she's called "GarkKahn's mother". There are many ways you could describe who someone is in relation to someone else, but most of them are not names.
Nobody that I’ve ever told about this has ever heard of this method on how to use ‘who’ and ‘whom’ correctly in a sentence. Most people don’t know how or that there’s any difference, and they’ve just been told “whom” is fancier, so you should use it more in writing, but this just isn’t true. Here’s how to tell when to use ‘who’ or ‘whom.’
Turn whatever sentence you’re about to say/write into a question. For instance, “who is going to the barbecue?” Then answer it. “He is going to the barbecue.” So here, using ‘who’ is right. But in another instance, such as, “Who does this coat belong to?” the answer should be “The coat belongs to him.” This is where the right word is “whom.”
Regardless of whether the situation even has a singular male or not, it’s useful because when it’s ‘he,’ then it’s ‘who.’ But when it’s ‘him,’ then it’s ‘whom.’ The m at the end helps to remind you more easily.
Hope this helps with your grammar journey!!
4:22 IIRC, Sherlock does say that his deductions are "elementary", and refer to Watson as "my dear Watson" on various occasions in the stories. He just never uses the two together.
14:18 I see that sort of thing (where the question is using the common, but technically wrong, word for something) come up as trick questions all the time.
Idk if this was mentioned but it’s somewhat significant in biological terms. The plural for octopus is not octopuses, that’s assuming that the word is Latin, which it isn’t. So if you were to go with the proper Greek suffix for a word ending in “us”, it would be Octopodes
I thought Jacuzzis and hot tubs were two different things... like.. I thought a Jacuzzi was a type of fancy bath??
In my defense this thought started when I was younger and I just didnt question it until now. Plus there were two hot tubs but we only called the one in the bathroom a Jacuzzi.
Everytime people say: "I could care less" when they should be saying: "I couldn't care less."

Those are not exactly puddle shaped after 2000years.😂
Not to mention, lead is less viscous, a billion times more fluid than glass. By the time glass thickens considerably, no more lead will hold the glass, all of it should be in the floor.

The UNO one pissed me off because I always played where you draw one card if you can't plah, and then it moves on. I was playing with my parents one day(64 and 54 years old) and I pulled one and look at my mom. She was like "What are you doing?" And I was like "It's your turn. What are YOU doing?" And then she told me I have tk draw until I can lay and I was like "That's absolute bull. What's to stop me from having the whole deck in my hand?" And she was like "That's what makes it fun".
NO! THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT SADISTIC!!! HOW ARE YOU EVER GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE AT WINNING AND IT'S JUST A WASTE OF TIME AND CARDS!! I read off the rules which said that the player draws one card and then the game continues but my mom, being a narcissistic psychopathic sadist made me play it that way anyway and thus I will never play UNO with my mother ever again. Her argument for continuing to pull cards was that it's the way she's always played it. Stupidist thing I've ever heard.
I played with someone who thought you just draw one card and lose your turn. And then when I drew one card and used it, she was like "What are you doing?". Up until then, I had no idea she thought you couldn't use the card immediately if possible. So I pulled out the rules and confirmed that that is the entire point of drawing a card.

Open and locked differential torque distribution (car stuff). A lot of people, even knowlegable ones like car journalists, get it wrong.
When one wheel spins in the air there's no way 100% of the torque magically transfers to it. Those cone satellite gear thingies are perfectly symmetrical. If the force is applied to the center, no matter how they spin they exert the same force on their left and right edges. Try it yourself by balancing some sort of cleaning stick tool thingy between two soft, idk, chairs, sofas, etc. and watch which end swuishes the soft surface more depending on where you apply force on the stick. It's the same left and right if you do it in the middle! Yet somehow there's people who still believe in 100% to the spinning wheel nonsense. Car immobilizes because it's 50:50, and the spinning wheel can't hold that much torque, and, as a result, the wheel on the ground gets the same small amount.
As for locked differential, forget about those satellite gears. The whole axle acts as a rigid stick, torque goes wherever it can, which mean to whatever wheel that can apply it. Yes, despite the lack of sophisticated electronics it's actially plain and simple locked differential that actually distributes torque in perfect match of wheel's traction. If you don't believe me, try to rotate a pencil with your finger. Since rotating torque and stopping torque are physically the same, you can just hold the middle of the pencil with one of your hand and try to rotate it with the other. You will notice that no matter how far or close to either end you grab the pencil with your fingers and turn it, you have to make the same resistance with the hand that holds its middle. That means that the rigidity of the pencil helps the torque find its way to wherever it's most needed. And what car journalists say? "It'S sYmMEtRiCaL fIfTy-FiFty dIsTrIBuTiOn!!1"
The slang word "y'all." Yes, I live near Texas.
_Y'all_ is a rare example of a "slang" deviation from proper English that generally improves the clarity and precision of the language. It functions as the second-person plural pronoun that modern English effectively dropped.** Many languages have multiple second-person pronouns, and it's a useful convention.
** Technically, _y'all_ replaces rather than restores the second-person plural. The now-singular _you_ used to be plural-only, back when English used _thou_ or _thee_ (depending on case) as singular.

*Playing a Reverse card acts like a Skip. The player who plays the Reverse may immediately play another card.*
If two people are playing and the turn direction is clockwise reverse make the turn order counter clockwise. So no you don't go again

like "he was such a dirtbag, literally" or "she was literally a b-word" (i used b-word because yt can be sensitive to words it considers bad)
something being literal means that it is the actual meaning of the word and not some metaphorical use or something fun sounding you put on every other sentence in slang.
example: "she was literally a b-word" unless they were talking about a female dog it is not the literal meaning of the b-word
