Yeezy Foams look stupid af and people still wore them. The reality is, most folks will ignore how ridiculous something is as long as it's "in fashion".
What Middle Ages? Those disgusting shoes were worn by women (at least in Madrid, Spain) in the 90s and made standing in the metro or bus very awkward. I couldn´t wait for them to go out of style.
There was a book on this I remember...about all the old laws in southern states that still exist, and this guy went around to break all these laws....one was playing cards with native Indians as I remember

3:20 I imagine that a teenage boy was the first person to ride a horse. It probably happened because the boys had a contest where they would jump onto the horse's back and hang on as long as possible. Eventually a boy would manage to hold on long enough that the horse would stop bucking and allow the boy to ride it. The first horse race very likely took place not long after the second person to ride a horse managed to hang on long enough that the horse stopped bucking. After all, that boy had only managed to equal his friend's accomplishment. The next logical step would be who could make their horse run faster.

I'd like to a video on how people in the past hydrated. Anywhere I go I always bring my water bottle. They didn't have that luxury. How did they hydrate on long trips?
If a waterway wasn't in a city, it was okay to drink. In Nordic countries most places the water in streams is okay to drink. I drink stream water when I go camping in Sweden.
Always been curious about this. Did people drink beer/mead and be drunk 24/7? Did people drink whatever water was available & it was just a part of life that sometimes the water kills you?
@@cattibingo no actually! The beer was such a low alcohol content that it couldn't get you drunk. Was mostly to sterilize it because otherwise, yes the water would just kill you. If you remember John snow discovering that cholera outbreaks was because of the poop water mixing with the drinking water. Before that they thought sickness happened because of bad air so dying from contaminated water just... Happened!
Beer and Wine were expensive because they were the best way to ensure safety when any water source might be your last. This fact can’t be understated. “Water to wine” has more meaning than people think.
As an amateur brewer: I think it would have been hard to get the resources to brew that much beer or mead for all ones water needs. For 10 liters of mead it takes about 3 litres of honey to make a 10-12% mead. Malting grain for brewing requires a warm room for sprouting the grains.

Uhm, those laws are STILL in place, it's called Sharia or religious law. It also applies to anyone who isn't Muslim, as they can't erect new places of worship, rep[air them, and must pay a gigantic tax called the jizya (a tax so high that the Ottoman Empire govt was fully supported by this tax).

Crazy thing is I would’ve died during the Middle Ages I had diabetes so I would’ve died due to lack of medicine and plus my mom would’ve died because I was 8 days late being born
We have come along way since the middle ages.......................................................................................
Riiiiiight!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Talk about your Lambofeeties🤣🤣🤣
I don't mean to be that annoying guy, but the entire witch situation was an almost entirely post middle-ages phenomenon. You even list the starting date at the extreme tail end of the time period.
Fun fact, you could pick your nose but you couldn't blow it
Maybe you guys could do one on coral castle , great program btw
Illegal to blow your nose………or have a fever……..🤔
Sorry Kenny Bania, 8:16, but Jerry Seinfeld treated you to soup, which counts as a meal!
