    One big thing this really sheds light on is how common it is for the news - now and throughout history - to report on deals (and laws) that are still in progress as if they're set in stone. The "will" in those headlines is doing a LOT of work, and I recommend that if you ever see a headline with any type of future tense at all, treat it with a healthy level of skepticism. Especially these days, where some future tense is written as past tense, like articles titled "How X became the new owners of Y" where "became" is referring to something that MAY happen in the near future.

      How they report on transfers for athletes really shows how lost they are for the real information. They report a player is "in talks" with 20 teams only for a team they didn't even mention to contract the athlete. It doesn't change much for much more important stuff than sports. Remember every time they predicted the outcome of an election? They did as much guess work as we do and got it roughly as right.

    One small critique that doesn't really affect the rest of the video but I really wanted to say is that though measuring naval strength by tonnage is definitely more accurate than measuring by sheer number of ships, it is still far from the best way of comparing relative strength. In particular, how efficiently the weight is used can wildly affect the ship's tonnage without changing how effective the ship can be in actual situations. Merely basing the strength of ships by their weight can lead to misleading results and can get really complicated with how many factors influence the rankings.
    All of this is irrelevant at the end of the day since (spoilers) it becomes a mute point later in the video, but also because MatPat stated that he just wanted to compare using a "more accurate" method, rather than the "most accurate".

    It would be fun to see a "who is the best lemon lime soda" competition between Mtn. dew, Sierra Mist, Sprite, Seven Up, and i'm not sure if it qualifies because its grapefruit soda, but Squirt has a similar vibe in taste.
    Also, I looked at the nutrition facts of both Pepsi and Coca-Cola side by side once and the only thing different was that Coca-Cola had more sodium and Pepsi had more sugar. I like Pepsi more, its sweet, and doesn't burn my mouth like Coca-Cola making me feel like my throat and mouth is dry. That said I try not to drink soda and when I do I usually go for Mtn. dew or or an Orange Crush. I guess i'm just fruity inside and out.

    I just wanna say I’m known for overthinking and making Theories ect and I found this channel I absolutely love this (as well as the other three) and have been subbed for a few weeks? Maybe idk but I have been completely BINGE watching all of ur episodes and wanna say that this content is AMAZINGGGG and keep making it bc me as a 12 year old am heavily addicted and obsessed to learning I have also noticed after these videos it has help me focus more and some how helped my grades? Almost hard to believe lol but keep making content bc it is truly inspiring..
    thank you

    3:29 FYI this poster roughly translates to “The Americans forgot where the border is, let’s let them know where it is”. Cold War propaganda posters were really something.

    13:30 kazahkstan was actually the last place the USSR existed, not russia. for a couple days after the downfal, kazakhstan was the entire soviet union... i dont think this map was meant to represent this, but yeah, fun tidbit.

    Food theory idea: what is the best cookie to dip in milk? Like, which cookie holds the most milk? Which cookie has the most structural integrity while being dunked in milk? Which cookie retains most of the original flavor after being dunked in milk. And, is there any better way to eat cookies and milk? It it better to put a cookie in your mouth and drink the milk? Or is dunking it really the best option?
