and today we're going to be taking a look on into r slash damn that's interesting we've seen mildly interesting we've seen interesting as frick but now it's time for the big finale damn that's interesting you know i'm sure you're ready to dive on into the video so without further ado let's go difference between orange suit and white suit did you ever wonder why some astronauts sometimes wear orange suits and sometimes white the orange colored advanced crew escape suits are aces is the space shuttle ascent an entry suit this particular color is highly visible against any kind of landscape especially in the sea the white colored ones are the bulkier extra vehicular activity suits that is because white reflects the strong heat of the sun and is easily visible against the black expanse of space the more you know this should basically be the law at all ruins cruise back fortress in serbia with a window to its glorious past oh now that is some next level design right there yeah they're right this should be everywhere introducing the russian space pimp you see when nasa first started sending astronauts into space they realized that a ballpoint pen would not work at zero gravity a million dollar investment in two years of tests resulted in a pin that could write in space upside down on almost any surface and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 celsius when confronted with the same problem the russians used a pencil uh you'd think that's a good idea but check this out in the early years of spaceflight both russians and americans use pencils in space unfortunately pencil lead is made of graphite a highly conductive material snapped graphite leads and particles in zero gravity are highly problematic as they will get sucked into the air ventilation or electronic equipment easily causing shorts or fires in the pure oxygen environment of the capsule after the fire in apollo 1 which killed all of the astronauts on board nasa required a riding instrument that wasn't a fire hazard fischer spent over a million dollars of his own money creating a pressurized ballpoint pen which nasa bought at two dollars and ninety five cents each the russian space program also switched over from pencil shortly after forty years later snide morons on the internet still snigger about it because snide morons on the internet never know what they're talking about geez you would've thought the pencil would be a good solution but no no no they were onto something creating a space-proof pen juan catalan spent nearly six months in jail for a murder of a teenage girl until his lawyer found unused footage from a hbo's curb your enthusiasm episode that proved he had been at a dodgers game with his six-year-old daughter up yep yep cue the theme song

university in pennsylvania at lincoln university he declared the separation of races is not a disease of colored people but a disease of white people i do not intend to be quiet about it down below albert einstein teaches a physics class to young black men in 1946 einstein was like hey i don't normally do this but even i know segregation is wrong my dad is a house painter and has recently started framing leftover paint from inside of work buckets he calls it bucket art art because we're from maine i hope you guys think it's as interesting as i do hey your dad might be on to something that looks like an actual legitimate painting he just might make some good money off of it i just found out how koalas are weighed and it's the cutest thing ever oh you mean this isn't a normal tree i don't know what to believe anymore magic carpets the art of fight ahmed's melted and pixelated rugs where pieces sell for upwards of fifteen thousand dollars typically they begin as a classic pattern

creativity lala an uninjured king penguin was nursed back to health in japan he refused to leave his caregiver so they adopted him and gave him an air-conditioned room in their house he would explore

the wild fragments of the flute player's music were passed down by generations of liar birds and are still present in their songs today hey yo forget marketing your music on soundcloud just sing it to a couple of birds in a couple of years you're gonna be the most popular person in the animal kingdom jim thorpe a legendary native american athlete had his shoes stolen just before he was about to compete in the olympics he found a mismatched pair of shoes in the trash can and he went on to win a gold medal wearing them he was also the first native american to win a gold medal for the united

massless healing energy this guy is projecting incredible boomer energy he's like look i know it's fake i just don't like spending time with my wife man what can i say cistercian monks made a numeral system in the 13th century a single symbol would represent numbers up to 9999 they were used for years division for divisions of text the numerating of notes and other lists indexes and coordinates

pressure change from surfacing instead try depicting them like this ah much better psychrolutes the proper name for blob fish look like this in their natural habitat deep in the sea happy handsome and alive yeah like this is a good thought and all like it's cool to see them like where they're happy and alive but nah i'm gonna stick to blob fish i kind of like blob fish a man named chen c spends
