those are actually not helicopters those are spherical cows

Why are there two images for B, C and

goddammit.

I'm at a complete loss.

Letter D is perfect for what's being described thereby: D for "Disaster", "Dying", "Drowning" if the helicopter is flying next to the sea. It could be letter S, too, for "stall", "smashing onto the ground" or, if this acute pitch exerted onto the aircraft was deliberately maneuvered by the pilot themselves, a seven-letter word starting with the letter S.!science_memes@mander.xyz

?

For people wanting the answer this was the subject of a Veritasium video.

Don’t support Veritasium

What's the story? What'd they do?

And why would that be?

This one was still over my head, but you gave me just enough to look it up. For anyone similarly confused.

Got me good there.

Dont know if theres anything else, but I've seen the criticism covered in this Tom Nicholas video. I still watch Veritasium though.

I know they've been wrong a couple times. Take anything the channel says with some salt.

I lost the game

like you hopefully do with all things you see online, right?

people are annoyed that he sold to a venture capital business

but then not realizing that so far, their quality improved, while also releasing more videos

Fucking ell...

which is funny because that's most established content on YT, whether you realize it or not.

people still think that youtubers with 100k+ subs do all the work themselves

Edit: sorry people, santa is also not real

Don't support shitty youtube. It sucks since googol bought it.

Daaaaamn

Sold out to some venture capital firm.

You are literally 20 years late with this opinion.

Don’t tell me what to do.

Especially, don’t tell me what to do, without a functional alternative, and most certainly without giving me a good reason to do it.

And absolutely don’t tell me what to do without giving me a reason or functional alternative multiple times in low effort copy pasta comments.

It's a meme.

I commend you for making it this far on the internet without encountering it.

Personally, I just don't like the guy and his vibes. But I wouldn't tell random people online to avoid him, he's not that bad.

There was also that self-driving car video which turned out to be really scummy.

Im glad my own path to despair has been walked by others.

He created fake science experiments to sell products and slipped them into normal videos, like the video where he claimed wet wipes are flushable, then created a fake experiment “proving” they were flushable. He’s incredibly untrustworthy and also, not a scientist! He’s an art major or business, can’t remember which.

I didn’t know he did that. He was shit long before that. Here’s my comment:

why is she wearing glasses without, eh... glasses? 😂

To be fair some wet wipes are flushable (as in they disintegrate when flushed), the problem is that not all of them are and there's no standard they have to adhere to, so even the ones that shouldn't be flushed are allowed to advertise themselves as flushable.

i liked his older videos far more, so quality is definitely subjective. it was one guy's channel about physics with specific vibe, now it is just general channel about everything, indistinguishable from all the other science channels...

No that’s literally the experiment that Derek did. He “showed” that the wet wipes “disintegrated”. What they actually did was break apart under a large weight he put on top of them. That’s not what happens in a sewage system. Along with that, unless they completely dissolve they will still cause issues as the broken up strands.

Unless you are a civil engineer you should not be deciding what goes in a sewer. And no one making wet wipes are civil engineers.

There's no standard they have to adhere to, but there are certifications you can look for that guarantee they break up properly.

I haven't seen his experiment and don't really care what he did. Other independent experiments have shown that some wet wipes do disintegrate. The reason authorities recommend against their use is what I said: there is no standard for what constitutes "flushable" and the industry is rife with false advertising.

Here's some plumbing YouTube guy testing a bunch of them and finding some that do disintegrate while others do not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVijZZ2yAtc

Of course the best option is a bidet, but this is as of yet unknown technology to most Americans.

So I just watched that video and I’m sorry, but that dude is just as bad as Veritasium.

Let’s cover some of the bad science:

1. What is this 24 hour time limit for these wipes sitting in water? Clogs happen in sewage systems immediately, not 24 hours later. And it doesn’t even take that long for sewage to move through a proper system anyway, so any clogs would happen at the processing facility where they are worst, not in “twists and turns” like this guy says
2. He literally hides what happens to the toilet paper when he flushes it, but he didn’t hide it very well. You can see in later shots (like at 8:26 in the top right) that the toilet paper literally broke up by the time it made it to the concrete. That is how it’s supposed to work. The rest failed by the time they hit the concrete.
3. He shakes the mason jars before opening them, then claims it is to “simulate the twists and turns”. This dude is just lying out his ass. Do you know the number of turns before you get from a toilet to the street? It’s like 3. I think every toilet in my house actually only has 1 or 2, depending on which floor. Shaking these up is so badly messing with the experiment. And guess what! They’re still completely intact! But the toilet paper one he barely shakes and yet it’s completely dissolved.

And here’s where we find out what he’s looking for: 12:20. He’s seeing whether these will make it through a house plumbing system. NOT a city sewer system.

Guess what. That same guy has this video from 4 months ago: https://youtu.be/6CQ5rMRvn8I. The title: “The Lie of Flushable Wipes”. He proceeds to say no flushable wipe is safe…wait for it…except the brand he’s selling. And he directly refutes all the bits of the exact tests he ran two years ago. He even says “your sewer system doesn’t agitate the wipes, it’s like a lazy river, slowly turning”.

Think of it this way. The wipes are wet in the package they’re sold to you in. If they haven’t disintegrated in the packaging, they’re not disintegrating in the sewage system. Else they would just sell you wet toilet paper.

Personally I've noticed topics covered by smaller content creators, explaining almost the exact same thing (minus maybe a few details like some random guy's age), uploaded a few weeks before, and then suddenly Veritasium decides to cover the topic with basically the exact same info over a longer time span.

Not to mention the clickbait titles and thumbnails, less focus on the technical side of topics and more on the emotional/personal side, and the whole selling out to private equity thing.

😐😮‍💨

Dammit

That’s the number not the company.

According to Wikipedia

In 2004, Muller graduated from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering Physics. Muller moved to Australia to study film-making; however, he instead enrolled for a PhD in physics education research from the University of Sydney, which he completed in 2008 with the thesis, Designing Effective Multimedia for Physics Education.

Aren't they also bought out by private equity?
