The letter "E" was still used as a failing grade throughout my elementary school years in Florida from 1978-1983. It was not completely phased out in the 1930s.
The seeds of a strawberry are not on the outside of the actual fruit. The main structure of a strawberry is not the fruit. If you look closely at a strawberry, you can see that each seed is, in fact, contained within its own individual fruit.

Horse Donkey matings. Jack and Mare is very common. Stallion and Jenny is extremely rare -- probably never happens naturally. Jennies put up quite a fight and expect to be essentially beaten into submission -- otherwise they will not allow the mating. Mares, on the other hand, stand still and hold their tails out of the way. When a Jack encounters a Mare, he just hops on and goes to town. When a Stallion encounters a Jenny, he makes no attempt to subdue her.
I appreciate it! Unfortunately I had some bad sources, with bad facts. I think another issue was my mic broke so I had to speak directly into the laptop. I want to do this again sometime. It takes a long time, but it’s something I enjoy, so it is worth it
Apple Rose. Other fruits that are in the rose family include: peaches, apricots, plums, cherries, nectarines, almonds, apples, pears, quince, strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries -- there are probably more.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
there is no peach family... peaches and almonds are members of the rose family, along with apples, pears, plums, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries. Botanist here...
That Blockbuster is in Bend, Oregon. I keep meaning to look for it when we visit. Orcas are not whales, they are related to dolphins I am among that 2% of the population
although 90% of these are correct I'd like to point out that some are wrong/partially wrong, things such as the happy birthday song being copywrited is false as it was uncopyrighted, along with Australia being the only continent that is a country as new zealand (although mostly submerged) is technically its own continent and more. overall good job though, really enjoyed this video!

Rather than just complain, I should add my own facts. The ghosts in Pacman were never intended to be ghosts and are known in the original Japanese version as monsters. The US state of Maine is closer to Africa than Florida is. In parts the Congo River is over 720 feet deep. The world's second largest maker of cymbals is founded by the brother of the man who founded the largest (after the brother was not made CEO of the original company, they clashed). The song "Maniac", heard in the 80s film Flashdance, originally had the lyrics "he'll kill your cat and nail it to the floor". Until the 7th century AD, Latin and Greek were usually written without spaces between words in a continuous line. The vermillion border is the name for the line separating the lip from the surrounding skin. In 1998 baseballer Sammy Sosa held the single season home run record for 43 minutes. In 2003, skater Lucinda Ruh almost doubled a previous record by doing 115 continuous spins on one foot. The steam whistle was introduced to US trains by a man, appropriately called George Washington Whistler. He isn't as famous as his wife who is depicted in the painting known as Whistler's Mother. Australian singer Amethyst Amelia Kelly renamed herself after her dog and the street her mother lived on, becoming Iggy Azalea. "Jazz" is generally regarded as the hardest four letter word to get in a game of Hangman. Despite only being 24 sq miles, San Marino won three medals at the 2020 Olympics. On Christmas Day 2021, the bank Santander accidentally deposited money into the accounts of 750,000 UK customers totalling £130 million (178 million USD).

Igor Sikorsky invented the helicopter. Da Vinci made a sketch of a screw powered "flying machine" that could not fly if built. Other than that misinformation, nice video.
I Igor sikorsky was the one who made the first mass produced helicopter. Or did he also invent the first working one as well? Appreciate the comment. Idk how hard and set the fact books I used are. I feel it could loosely be stated the Da Vinci “invented” the helicopter. But I see your angle
@@arcade_wizard Ah, no worries. And I understand completely how people would say Da Vinci invented the helicopter, the parachute, and the tank. It's just that without a working prototype I wouldn't call it an invention. I could sketch a time machine but that doesn't mean I invented one. But regardless, this was a great video and I have subscribed for more. Cheers!
All water mammals sleep one half brain at a time. Land mammals are autonomic breathers -- that is, you don't have to consciously take each breath. Water mammals are not autonomic breathers -- they have to consciously take each breath. Thus, if they fell completely to sleep (both halves of their brains) they would stop breathing.
Watched a bit more...The smallest whole number with an A in is 101 for British speakers. Isaac Asimov wrote no books in the 100 category (philosophy and psychology). The Mel Blanc carrot allergy is a myth. The only animal with four kneecaps is, strangely not the elephant as is often said, but the ostrich. The weka is another bird which can swim but not fly.
@@arcade_wizard No worries. I think most are correct and I enjoy the images you have matched to each fact. Now I've seen to the end I'll add that Europe has several deserts, as a waterfall Niagara only comes seventh by amount of water flowing over it, goldfish have never had a memory of only 3 seconds (and are never technically pregnant so a twit is not a pregnant goldfish) and the song Happy Birthday To You was ruled out of copyright in 2015.
Wow you watched the whole thing! Thanks! It’s crazy how false information can spread. And thanks for noting the pictures. This took me about 20 hours (which is why I only recently did this one more time, but only 10 minutes). Maybe I’ll do it again. Hopefully my sources are better next time 😅
Fun fact about that. I was originally going to do videos that got longer overtime. However I just I just take all of them and then throw it into one video so some of these facts are found in other videos
Thanks for pointing that out. That could be a half rhyme of sorts or a partial rhyme but I don’t think it constitutes a full rhyme. I could be mistaken, as the definition of rhyme that I used might not fit the definition used by most.
Oops. Thanks for the catch. I never did another information/facts video for this reason: one source says one thing and then others say another. No way to know what’s right and what isn’t. Maybe I’ll do 50 minutes and 60 minutes of useless info in the future though, idk
From National Geographic: “Most large land herbivores can doze off on their feet, but only experience deep-or REM-sleep lying down.” From a dairy website: “While cows can doze off and sleep lightly on their feet, when it comes to REM sleep, they lie down just like the rest of us.” Not deep sleep, but sleep nonetheless. My fact stays
@@arcade_wizard yeah, Google is great, but first-hand experience is better. I grew up on a ranch. Cows sleep lying down, and one will keep watch over the herd. It's also noteworthy that cow tipping (tipping a sleeping cow, that's standing) is also a myth. The only true way to tip a cow, is to push one onto it's side so it's legs are no longer underneath it.
I didn’t come up with going to the arcade either, and that’s a majority of my videos. I had a daily subscription of facts back in 05’. Random facts and trivia isn’t new. Just having fun is all
Many things rhyme with silver (sliver, shiver, liver, quiver, etc). Technically speaking a rhyme is when the final stressed vowel and all following sounds are identical in two words; however, we can be more pedantic that this. Perfect Rhyme, which can be described by the location of the stressed vowel (single, double, dactylic); and General Rhyme, of which there are nearly a dozen varieties, namely: syllabic, imperfect, near, semi, and forced. Under the definition of "perfect rhyme" the "fact" that silver has no rhyme is technically true, along with words such as orange, purple, month, ninth, pint, wolf, opus, dangerous, marathon, and discombobulate. But, under the definition(s) of "general rhyme" all of those aforementioned words can find their rhymes. I would hate to discombobulate But I've heard this fact of rhyme many a time I could type a marathon, and a ton 'til I'm purple and hirple cry wolf or bluff, if you must but 'tis dangerous to disregard my opus while I'm rhyming orange with range in my grange, my dog doesn't have mange my plinth wasn't built in a month now the ninth, cutting like a scythe at last have a pint, I'll take mine with mint.
Damn I thought AustinMcConnell made a new video Don't think I've ever seen anyone make something similar like this I wish others did too because it's fun
It was a lot of fun making it! I wish my mic wasn’t broken at the time; ended up speaking into laptop itself. The issue with this sort of content os that it takes a long time to make. This took over 20 hours: the repeated sentences to get the tone correct, finding the gifs, cutting everything out, stretching the gifs to the right point, and adding music. Would I want to do it again? Yes! I don’t have much time atm though unfortunately.
I like trivia, but labeling a video "useless" makes me not want to watch. I only clicked to comment as I see a lot of facts videos doing this. To each their own, though.
Some would try to make you believe that a pregnant goldfish is called a twit, or a twerp. In reality there is no term for a pregnant goldfish because goldfish never get pregnant! Female Goldfish lay eggs and the eggs are fertilised by male fish outside of the body. 😂😂😂

Many things rhyme with silver (sliver, shiver, liver, quiver, etc). Technically speaking a rhyme is when the final stressed vowel and all following sounds are identical in two words; however, we can be more pedantic that this. Perfect Rhyme, which can be described by the location of the stressed vowel (single, double, dactylic); and General Rhyme, of which there are nearly a dozen varieties, namely: syllabic, imperfect, near, semi, and forced. Under the definition of "perfect rhyme" the "fact" that silver has no rhyme is technically true, along with words such as orange, purple, month, ninth, pint, wolf, opus, dangerous, marathon, and discombobulate. But, under the definition(s) of "general rhyme" all of those aforementioned words can find their rhymes.
