The 7 years war was not showing each country one on one with each other that was just showing the two sides and the alliances of each. Sweden wasn't running around America killing natives. 😀
@@mikelarsen5836 Knowledge and intelligence are two different things if you lived your whole life never knowing that something like a tree even existed and then you were placed in a forest you'd seem pretty stupid. Or if you were told in your history class that the American natives gave the land to the settlers while those that didn't were just war mongering savages who had no understanding of society so they needed to be taught sometimes with force. This was what I learned for years then I moved out of the States and low and behold, I discovered what actually happened.

Relating to the Prussia and Hanover bit you were confused about: Hanover in this context refers not to the city of Hanover, but the Kingdom of Hanover which controlled parts of northern Germany. The Kingdom of Prussia would go on to become the German Empire, so it'd be more accurate to call them Germany, though, at the time, Germany wasn't a country, rather, a mess of smaller states, Prussia at the time controlled most of Northeast Germany, what is now the southwest of modern-day Poland (Called Silesia), most of the north of modern-day Poland, and the Kaliningrad Oblast (that bit of Russia separate from the rest of Russia between Poland and Lithuania. Prussia is pronounced similar to Russia, but the etymology is completely different. Prussia was named after the Old Prussians/Baltic Prussians. Russia was named after the Rus' people, which were originally Norse who assimilated with the local slavic tribes.

The first confusing part makes reference to scientists stating that the big bang didn't just created matter, but also time and space. People who cannot conceptualize things beyond their daily experience, don't like the scientists answers to questions like "if there was no space, where did the big bang happen?", which is "trying to answer a [where] question when there was no space makes no sense". Something similar happens with the question "what was before the big bang" and "it makes no sense asking before and after outside the realm of time". Some people use the metaphor of small frogs living in the bottom of a well, and one of the frogs learns that math indicates there could be oceans with waves, no walls around them, and immense skies above with clouds and stars. Nothing in their experience would help to make sense of that. How could for instance, the water not run away without walls around it, or make non-stopping waves? Some frogs would say an ocean could not exist. Similarly, nothing in our daily experience can reflect what the math says about the big bang. That is why these concepts sound so weird.
Well, space is the measure of how different things placed relative to each other. So, if there is nothing (no matter) - term 'space' has no meaning. Time is how we see sequence of events. And just like that, no matter means no events, no events means no time.
There is also a theory that the big bang was just one of many occasions of the universe coming into existence, then collapsing into it's self after who knows how long and coming into existence again, basically saying that it's a never ending cycle of creation, destruction and recreation

His breakout routine in the 70s was literally called "7 words you can never say on television". But he transitioned from bad words into just merciless satire.

I have a similar issue with my hair. If I do tight rags for at least a day I get a curl that lasts okay - but that doesn't produce big Elegant curls. When I was a bridesmaid I dyed my hair and clip in extensions and the hairdresser (who has experience trying to trick my hair into doing things) curled the extensions and curled my hair through them.

Yes, please react to History of Japan. This was great. Thank you! Subbed. I've also really enjoyed Lemmino's videos The Vanishing of Flight 370, The Lost Colony of Roanoke and The Search for D. B. Cooper.
Alice dear, if there is one thing that most schools don't really teach us it's the fact that everything, and I mean really everything is connected to everything. Schools teach us a bunch of stuff, like literature, history, philosophy, arts almost as if those were independent and separately evolving things. In fact those are all deeply connected to each other and also to everything else: society, religions, economy, science, climate changes and so on. And this is where this video - besides being really entertaining - does an excellent job, it gives you the fundamental idea that nothing ever happened without a reason. Every event has a cause and an effect. Sadly that doesn't help us predict things more efficiently, but it does help us understand the nature of our species a lot better.
I love watching first time reactions to this video. Loved it! You should check out teachers reacting to this, like Teacher Eddie or Simple Viking, they drop so much extra knowledge.
One question I like to ask sometimes is "What would you see, at the center of the observable Universe?" The somewhat strange answer, "Whatever you're seeing now," makes sense when you learn that the entire Universe was once (as near as anyone can tell) a single point, and all of space and time has been expanding from it ever since. There's no privileged place that's the center of everything. So, if you're the observer, you're by definition at the center of the observable Universe.
The Tomb Kings, known as the Priest Kings in their former lives, are the undying rulers of Nehekhara, an ancient Human civilisation that formed a great and powerful empire some two thousand five hundred years before the birth of Sigmar Heldenhammer and the founding of the Empire. Out of all the unliving creatures that would claim dominion and royalty over the dead, only the Tomb Kings could truly claim such masterful and undisputed sovereignty. For they had once ruled a mighty and far-flung empire during a time when the rest of Mankind were little more than savage barbarians. Long ago, during an ancient and forgotten age, Nehekhara stood as a shining beacon of civilisation and Human achievement; a golden age when its cities shone with a majestic splendour, its buildings crafted from magnificent marble and limestone, its armies capable of conquering entire kingdoms. In this long-lost age, Nehekhara's mighty rulers reigned as living gods amongst men. But this great realm was destroyed millennia ago through acts of great treachery and powerful sorcery. The living of Nehekhara perished long ago in a single, mournful night, and in their absence, the dead stirred from their graves and claimed the land anew. Even as their ancient civilisation now lies buried beneath the sand, its once verdant plains turned to searing desert and their mighty and glorious empire fractured and in ruin, the Tomb Kings have once more awoken from their deep sleep. Rising from their decrepit sarcophagi, the mummified rulers of Nehekhara awoke with eyes of burning balefire, their thirst for power, conquest and vengeance just as strong in death as in life. They have returned to reclaim that which is rightfully theirs, their legions innumerable, rising up from the scorching sand brandishing weapons of polished bronze and priceless gold. Ancient, emotionless and spiteful to all those that have slighted them, woe betide those foolish enough to stand before their silent onslaught.

@@thehoogard That's not as far-fetched as it might seem. Sweden did have some early interactions with Native Americans in their short-lived colony of New Sweden. It's not far from Iroquois' territories. But by the time of the 7 years war Sweden had lost the colony to the Dutch.
@@havcola6983 That's true, but as you say, we're almost 200 years later, plus the "New Sweden" colony actually had excellent relationships with the natives as far as I've understood it.
It's like getting all history downloaded in your brain. After this you can say "I know history!", kind of like Neo in The Matrix saying "I know kung-fu!".
Most people in Britain and America don't know that much about German history, but this is basically how it goes: it started as interrelated tribes settling in central Europe. Then they were organized into a loose confederation of small kingdoms & principalities (Holy Roman Empire.) Different rulers struggled amongst each other to control it over the centuries, but eventually the Austrians came out on top. But underneath their noses, the clever Prussians (based in the northeast of what's now Germany) were gathering more territory, and starting to take control. Then Napoleon invaded and disbanded the Holy Roman Empire. After Napoleon was defeated, Prussia took the lead in gradually assembling a modern unified German-speaking nation, which finally happened in 1871 - leaving out the Austrians, who had their own empire to look after.
prussia was between germany and poland, and hanover was a citystate and the house of hanover was ruling england at the time of the 7 years war, which is also called world war zero, because it was the first transcontinal war
also the first minute explaines that there wasn't time and space before the big bang, so everything happend at any possible time, because it did not happen, because time in our sense did't exist

The camera stopping at 10 minutes sounds like you're recording with it as a standalone recording device. You'll want to connect it to your pc and use it as a webcam instead. That way you'll be able to record for as long as you have electricity.
About that problem with your camera's files... I don't know any details about the camera or the exact format it uses, but one idea to check on is if the file size is exceeding a certain amount. Certain filesystems and software cannot handle files larger than various limits. For instance, the FAT32 filesystem, still used by quite a lot of flash drives and some other storage media, cannot store files larger than 4 GiB. Another possibility... searching around, I see some stuff about the EU taxing cameras that can record longer than 30 minutes and manufacturers not wanting to pay the taxes, so they just set limits below that (not necessarily right at 30 minutes). Not sure of the details beyond that, though.
It’s a funny and interesting video, which is the charm of it. An even cooler part, in some tiny way, you’d be in the version of it 1,000 years from now. We are living a story that (hopefully) will be told long after we are gone.
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that is evolving, revolving at 900 miles an hour......... and prey that there is intelligent life somewhere up in space coz there is bugger all down here on earth.
I have a request. A great comedian passed away about a month ago and I don't see him getting a lot of reactions, and it kind of saddens me because he was SO talented. So I was wondering if you could do an Amazing Jonathan reaction?
@@Aliceingingerland Thank you. I have so much love for stand up comedy. So I'm saddened when a really talented comedian passes and they don't get the respect their talent and work deserve.
Fun (and appropriate!) reaction to this phenomenal video, like. Five years later, it still blows my mind. And it's filled with awesome lines : "Don't worry about Rome, it won't fall" "I wonder if there's room for Moors!" "Khmer!" "Where?" "Here!" "'Wait!', said Christopher Columbus, probably smoking crack" "Then the Dutch revolt and all the hipsters move to Amsterdam" XD 20:49 "You can make a religion out of this" is the most complex part of the whole video, imo. The Enlightenment has produced the ideologies behind all the great totalitarian, murderous regimes of the 20th century, and an ideology can be considered a secular religion. I'm French, I know. Oh, and you don't have to watch the video "over and over again", sister, you need to read books, now! :D
The memory card in your camera may be formatted with FAT32 which has a maximum size limit, if your camera can store in NFTS it should be OK or a completely different problem.
Loved it, somehow everytime I hear of this video I always think of Melodysheep's "Timelapse of the future: A journey to the end of time" Its truly a masterpiece. Would be a good reaction, but its another long video though.
Some file systems don't support file sizes over 4 gigabytes, so that could be messing up with your video recordings at 15 minutes; the file's just gotten too large. Maybe the SD card, if that's what you use, could be formatted to a different file system that supports larger files, but that'd only work if your camera can work with that file system. Note that any data on a SD card that is formatted will be erased, so save it somewhere else first if you try that.
Thomas Hobbes who lived during the time of the English Civil War and Oliver Cromwell described a world without a clear structure as the "natural state" and this natural state is basically anarchy where people act without consequence. It is in our nature to creature a stable world order to avoid anarchy, and that is upheld through power. Just look at how unease everyone was when Russia invaded Ukraine and our stable structure was rocked, which in turn leads for more power hungry people to prevent it again.

Most of our town burned down in 2018, so besides the fire it doesn't get talked about much. Fascinating to see it on your shirt after clicking on this video randomly in my recommended!
woah
Hey you should watch OverSimplified, they do animations of different wars and it's also funny as well as educational! I recommend The Napoleonic Wars
Great reaction as always btw!
I second that. Funny, entertaining, and educational.
I love this video bill wurtz is a genius!
Also, I'd recommend classic stand up bits by like, George Carlin, Ricky Gervais, Louis ck.. etc, I think you might enjoy them since you liked Bo and Tim (they're not musicians but they're great!!) and I really like your comedy reactions :)
He really is! Omg I love Ricky Gervais but I’ve already watched everything of his haha plus might be a bit too many naughty words to bleep out haha but will look into the others, thank you!
@@Aliceingingerland George Carlin is kind of the granddaddy of the foul-mouthed (but secretly very nice) comedian. His breakout routine in the 70s was literally called "7 words you can never say on television". But he transitioned from bad words into just merciless satire.
Louis CK is funny but had a number of sexual allegations made against him so posting reactions of him might invite a lot of hot takes in the comments about cancel culture.
@@Aliceingingerland George Carlin's Saving The Planet would be so perfect to watch after this.
You just broke my heart! I adopted a stray cat that looks exactly like your kitty! He had a terminal disease and I watched him pass away. Everything thing I love goes away in the end.
The bit about deciding racism is bad and then going "South Africa may need a minute to think about it"... Gets me every time!! 😂😂😂
You bring back such a good era of RUclips in your videos!!
The important thing I've learned from this is nothing was ever any better. The past was the worst.
I live in Las Vegas, so any sight of greenery is spectacular to me. Of course, you do live in Australia so the amount of venomous critters kinda prohibits me of actually visiting. Send more vids of your outdoors so we all can be envious from a safe distance.

I have a similar issue with my hair. If I do tight rags for at least a day I get a curl that lasts okay - but that doesn't produce big Elegant curls. When I was a bridesmaid I dyed my hair and clip in extensions and the hairdresser (who has experience trying to trick my hair into doing things) curled the extensions and curled my hair through them.
As always: a wonderful reaction! I hope all is well, and keep up the incredible content!
I love this video it’s so fun, some of Bill Wurtz’s songs are silly and ridiculous! I’m glad you had such a fun reaction to it! Also your hair looks fantastic, it’s going to look so lovely for your wedding!
Awww thank you so much!
love how he gave basic cliffs notes to HOTEW & HOJ💖
Sugar is so goddamn profitable you might forget to not do slavery.
Now that’s a weird bumper sticker! 😂
The "history of the entire world, i guess" is like getting flashbanged with information for 20 minutes.
The bit that got me was the little *ding* sound with *MINGGGGG*
interesting fact... there will never be more gold on earth than there is, right now.
I have seen this video a dozen times and JUST got the "try some metal, it's underground" joke...
Yes, please react to History of Japan. This was great. Thank you! Subbed.
I've also really enjoyed Lemmino's videos The Vanishing of Flight 370, The Lost Colony of Roanoke and The Search for D. B. Cooper.
Tuesday afternoon, I finish work, make a cuppa tea, collapse into my recliner, pick up the remote and go to gingerland
Alice dear, if there is one thing that most schools don't really teach us it's the fact that everything, and I mean really everything is connected to everything. Schools teach us a bunch of stuff, like literature, history, philosophy, arts almost as if those were independent and separately evolving things. In fact those are all deeply connected to each other and also to everything else: society, religions, economy, science, climate changes and so on. And this is where this video - besides being really entertaining - does an excellent job, it gives you the fundamental idea that nothing ever happened without a reason. Every event has a cause and an effect. Sadly that doesn't help us predict things more efficiently, but it does help us understand the nature of our species a lot better.
I love watching first time reactions to this video. Loved it!
You should check out teachers reacting to this, like Teacher Eddie or Simple Viking, they drop so much extra knowledge.
My favorite history channel is Oversimplified. I highly recommend his channel, it is so good.
One question I like to ask sometimes is "What would you see, at the center of the observable Universe?" The somewhat strange answer, "Whatever you're seeing now," makes sense when you learn that the entire Universe was once (as near as anyone can tell) a single point, and all of space and time has been expanding from it ever since. There's no privileged place that's the center of everything. So, if you're the observer, you're by definition at the center of the observable Universe.
The Tomb Kings, known as the Priest Kings in their former lives, are the undying rulers of Nehekhara, an ancient Human civilisation that formed a great and powerful empire some two thousand five hundred years before the birth of Sigmar Heldenhammer and the founding of the Empire. Out of all the unliving creatures that would claim dominion and royalty over the dead, only the Tomb Kings could truly claim such masterful and undisputed sovereignty. For they had once ruled a mighty and far-flung empire during a time when the rest of Mankind were little more than savage barbarians.
Long ago, during an ancient and forgotten age, Nehekhara stood as a shining beacon of civilisation and Human achievement; a golden age when its cities shone with a majestic splendour, its buildings crafted from magnificent marble and limestone, its armies capable of conquering entire kingdoms. In this long-lost age, Nehekhara's mighty rulers reigned as living gods amongst men. But this great realm was destroyed millennia ago through acts of great treachery and powerful sorcery. The living of Nehekhara perished long ago in a single, mournful night, and in their absence, the dead stirred from their graves and claimed the land anew.
Even as their ancient civilisation now lies buried beneath the sand, its once verdant plains turned to searing desert and their mighty and glorious empire fractured and in ruin, the Tomb Kings have once more awoken from their deep sleep. Rising from their decrepit sarcophagi, the mummified rulers of Nehekhara awoke with eyes of burning balefire, their thirst for power, conquest and vengeance just as strong in death as in life.
They have returned to reclaim that which is rightfully theirs, their legions innumerable, rising up from the scorching sand brandishing weapons of polished bronze and priceless gold. Ancient, emotionless and spiteful to all those that have slighted them, woe betide those foolish enough to stand before their silent onslaught.
lol
It was cool to see your delight at the beginning and sad to see your exhaustion toward the end.
WOW! Almost 6 thousand subscribers. Congratulations Alice, the channel is going gangbusters. Another great video. Loved your reaction.
Also the hair and makeup look great. How are the nerves going with the wedding date getting closer?
@3:47 -- '"brain.exe stopped responding'"😄
at the end
Her : that was great, i learned a lot
Her brain : '"you're running out of disk space '"
Anyway great video
When you stopped to look up those nations in the versus lists, it wasn't one on ones in the 7 year war, it was all the ones on the left vs the ones on the right
Haha, yeah. I can guarantee us Swedes did not sail over to North America to fight some native americans :)
@@thehoogard That's not as far-fetched as it might seem. Sweden did have some early interactions with Native Americans in their short-lived colony of New Sweden. It's not far from Iroquois' territories. But by the time of the 7 years war Sweden had lost the colony to the Dutch.
@@havcola6983 That's true, but as you say, we're almost 200 years later, plus the "New Sweden" colony actually had excellent relationships with the natives as far as I've understood it.
Bill Wurtz is the primary reason anyone had heard about Tonga before suddenly everyone did last December.
As George Carlin said, the planet is fine, it's not going anywhere. WE are.
It's like getting all history downloaded in your brain.
After this you can say "I know history!", kind of like Neo in The Matrix saying "I know kung-fu!".
I always love the random "gravity" when it says people getting together (8:41) xD
Most people in Britain and America don't know that much about German history, but this is basically how it goes: it started as interrelated tribes settling in central Europe. Then they were organized into a loose confederation of small kingdoms & principalities (Holy Roman Empire.) Different rulers struggled amongst each other to control it over the centuries, but eventually the Austrians came out on top. But underneath their noses, the clever Prussians (based in the northeast of what's now Germany) were gathering more territory, and starting to take control. Then Napoleon invaded and disbanded the Holy Roman Empire. After Napoleon was defeated, Prussia took the lead in gradually assembling a modern unified German-speaking nation, which finally happened in 1871 - leaving out the Austrians, who had their own empire to look after.
prussia was between germany and poland, and hanover was a citystate and the house of hanover was ruling england at the time of the 7 years war, which is also called world war zero, because it was the first transcontinal war
also the first minute explaines that there wasn't time and space before the big bang, so everything happend at any possible time, because it did not happen, because time in our sense did't exist
Talking about history. You might also like the history about why South Korea Remains a Free and Democratic Country by watching The "March Of The Valiant: Philippine Expeditionary Force To Korea" it's a Documentary about the contribution of the filipino soldiers who fights in korean war for south korea, and how 1,000 filipino soldiers, Stand and defend its Ground against 40,000 North koreans and chinese soldiers combined, in order to not let them inside the corridor of south korea😇 it's a histrory that only few people's know. Because most of the people only know that America is the one who is always in the back of other countries😇
The camera stopping at 10 minutes sounds like you're recording with it as a standalone recording device. You'll want to connect it to your pc and use it as a webcam instead. That way you'll be able to record for as long as you have electricity.
About that problem with your camera's files... I don't know any details about the camera or the exact format it uses, but one idea to check on is if the file size is exceeding a certain amount. Certain filesystems and software cannot handle files larger than various limits. For instance, the FAT32 filesystem, still used by quite a lot of flash drives and some other storage media, cannot store files larger than 4 GiB.
Another possibility... searching around, I see some stuff about the EU taxing cameras that can record longer than 30 minutes and manufacturers not wanting to pay the taxes, so they just set limits below that (not necessarily right at 30 minutes). Not sure of the details beyond that, though.
It’s a funny and interesting video, which is the charm of it. An even cooler part, in some tiny way, you’d be in the version of it 1,000 years from now. We are living a story that (hopefully) will be told long after we are gone.
This video taught me more than any class ever did
The best part about this Bill Wurtz video is that if you loop it, it's seamless.
im going to tell my kids this was the discovery channel
4:09 Why she'd say hello like she's on the phone 😅😅👍 I love it
observation, the first line of the video is the answer to the question Bill Wurtz asks at the very end, meaning the video can be looped forever
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that is evolving, revolving at 900 miles an hour......... and prey that there is intelligent life somewhere up in space coz there is bugger all down here on earth.
I wish I watched this before all my chemistry classes 🤣 so cool!
This is one my all time RUclips faves
I have a request. A great comedian passed away about a month ago and I don't see him getting a lot of reactions, and it kind of saddens me because he was SO talented. So I was wondering if you could do an Amazing Jonathan reaction?
Awww 🥺 will look into him!
@@Aliceingingerland Thank you. I have so much love for stand up comedy. So I'm saddened when a really talented comedian passes and they don't get the respect their talent and work deserve.
Damn. I had no idea Jonathan died. That really bites. I love his stand-up/magic routines. Pure chaos when he takes the stage.
@@mattfraser9661 Fuck. I didn't know either. AJ was my spirit animal, if I believed in such a thing. Thanks for suggesting him, brother.
Fun (and appropriate!) reaction to this phenomenal video, like. Five years later, it still blows my mind. And it's filled with awesome lines :
"Don't worry about Rome, it won't fall"
"I wonder if there's room for Moors!"
"Khmer!" "Where?" "Here!"
"'Wait!', said Christopher Columbus, probably smoking crack"
"Then the Dutch revolt and all the hipsters move to Amsterdam"
XD
20:49 "You can make a religion out of this" is the most complex part of the whole video, imo. The Enlightenment has produced the ideologies behind all the great totalitarian, murderous regimes of the 20th century, and an ideology can be considered a secular religion. I'm French, I know.
Oh, and you don't have to watch the video "over and over again", sister, you need to read books, now! :D
the end of that video is chefs kiss
Damn that hair looks great! Also thanks for the reaction, it's a great video haha
How very enter-cational.
The bridal look is amazing 😍.
Oh and gotta keep it minimal back there ready for inevitable YT badges ;)
The memory card in your camera may be formatted with FAT32 which has a maximum size limit, if your camera can store in NFTS it should be OK or a completely different problem.
Loved it, somehow everytime I hear of this video I always think of Melodysheep's "Timelapse of the future: A journey to the end of time" Its truly a masterpiece. Would be a good reaction, but its another long video though.
Absolute masterpiece, so happy to see it referenced
I didn't know I needed this today. But I absolutely did. 😆 Thanks for uploading this
Hahaha awww yay!! Thank you for watching!
The best is when the first mutant fishfrog crawls to land. "UNGH UNGH UNGH". :' D
The music in this is insane but brilliant.
Some file systems don't support file sizes over 4 gigabytes, so that could be messing up with your video recordings at 15 minutes; the file's just gotten too large. Maybe the SD card, if that's what you use, could be formatted to a different file system that supports larger files, but that'd only work if your camera can work with that file system. Note that any data on a SD card that is formatted will be erased, so save it somewhere else first if you try that.
YOUR CAT IS A BENGAL AND I'M IN LOVE.
You should react to After Ever After by Paint if you haven't seen it. It is a hilarious music series. There are 3 of them.
I have a small amount of Cherokee blood in me since my great great great aunt was full blooded Cherokee Native American. Just thought to share.
Speaking of a fun format to learn history, might I recommend Puppet History from Watcher. It's fun. Bring some jelly beans or jelly baby's.
that might have been the cutest reaction to this video :D
Thomas Hobbes who lived during the time of the English Civil War and Oliver Cromwell described a world without a clear structure as the "natural state" and this natural state is basically anarchy where people act without consequence.
It is in our nature to creature a stable world order to avoid anarchy, and that is upheld through power. Just look at how unease everyone was when Russia invaded Ukraine and our stable structure was rocked, which in turn leads for more power hungry people to prevent it again.
And then you realize that every ten seconds of this video is an entire uni course. It's no wonder it took him almost a year to make this video!
FYI, the seven years war was between the first column and the second column, not each individual nation vs the one directly across from it.
I'm just laughing imagning all the different armies running cross europe to fight each other, and Sweden sailing to america to fight indians :)
I literally watched so many reactions to his video that ik half the script memorized
Love braids like that! You look great with it!
Also, great content obviously!
axis of awesomes songs : 4 chord song, how to right a love song and then elephant in the room, must be in that order
You now NEED to watch "Saving The Planet" by George Carlin!!!
The left side of the wall needs a silver play button
Ok, ok, ok, lay off the cocaine Ally!!
And take a nice deep breath, aaannndd.. Breathe.
If I was a teacher this would be my first class. And then just ask what sounded cool.
History of Japan time.
bill only has songs and short (under 1minute) videos, maybe the history about japan if you are interested, but the songs just SLAP
