2 Truths & Trash: Season 1 Recap

Thanks so much for watching! It was a great Season 1 and I'm looking forward to Season 2.

6:27 I don't care how weird magnets falling slowly through copper looks, the fact that 68% of people thought that perpetual motion was real is not ok.

[@TheObnoxiousSquirrel]

I agree

[@moriahcalis3165]

The hard part is I first didn't believe it but then I saw so many videos about it being real that I wondered. Then another video in that list I don't remember which seemed unlikely.

[@Maxwell_Twist]

The hardest part of making a perpetual motion machine is hiding the batteries.

[@Maxwell_Twist]

@@moriahcalis3165 Well, I'll give you a tip for the future, perpetual motion machines do not and CANNOT exist. Every time energy is converted, part of it is lost in the form of heat energy through friction. No matter how small the loss it, it will eventually sap enough energy for the system to stop.

[@Bossmodegoat]

That poll results on that one disturb me😬

[@13vatra]

I'm genuinely shocked so many people got the perpetual motion machine wrong. I thought everyone knew that broke the laws of physics.

[@Owen_loves_Butters]

It definitely made me sad that 68% of people believed it was real.

[@6AxisSage]

I mean, you tested people who use snapchat..

[@thephilster741]

I predict this will get lots of likes

[@JaDroppingScience]

Hahaha

[@cowiemcwowie420]

@@thephilster741I think you might just be right

[@memeemporer11]

You got a point there

[@NTVE404]

Yup

[@3possumsinatrenchcoat]

in many, I feel it became less of a "think about the science" and kinda veered more into a "which of these was easiest to edit/fake" (as a suggestion, maybe add the occasional jump cut into some of the real ones, or have part of the object obscured - like on the spinning wire the top cut off of view so it looks like you could possibly be holding it and turning it? just some ideas for making it a bit harder, but regardless these videos have been really fun to watch and I've had a blast showing them to my niblings and seeing them puzzle out the answers!) can't wait for season 2! :D

[@JaDroppingScience]

Great idea!

[@alexwallace6904]

love the use of niblings in this. i know that's off topic, but it makes me so happy

[@3possumsinatrenchcoat]

@@alexwallace6904 not gonna lie, the moment I discovered the word I immediately integrated it into my vocabulary. it's just such a fun word to say!

[@_creare_2742]

Episode 8: Round 2 (6:27) I thought the acceleration of the ball was really obvious, its surprising to see the results.

[@davidpretorius2984]

The wii sensor bar straight up got me… I thought the bar did something aside from emit IR. I mean, it’s called a sensor bat, not an emitter bar

[@Couldnt_Be_Bothered]

It got me because I thought it worked in reverse where the Wii remote admits the signal and the sensor bar, you know, SENSES IT!

[@haleyw5677]

I was generally pretty close to the right percentage, except when I forgot to think about how fake the real ones seemed

[@earthappel1232]

I really like your videos man!

[@redfailhawk]

I am curious how much viral videos affected the outcomes. For example, the cotton candy one did not get me as there was a viral video of the raccoon washing cotton candy and being confused. I’d also heard rumors of the wii and candles trick, and I’ve personally done the lighting smoke trick.

[@hambone5shorts962]

Can’t wait 😝 I love these videos

[@thephilster741]

I like this channel

[@KaityKat117]

Rule of thumb: if it's a "perpetual motion" machine, it's fake. Perpetual motion would break the law of conservation of energy. The system will lose energy through friction or thermal radiation and will need energy put into the system to continue moving. Simply put, there is no free lunch. I like to say "The hardest part of making a perpetual motion machine is finding out where to hide the battery."

[@haleyw5677]

I think the perpetual motion one was difficult because the magnets in the tube just seemed so fake. I got it right because I knew the machine wasn’t real, but I had no idea that would happen with a copper tube

[@JaDroppingScience]

Yep, I agree, the true videos have a large impact

[@KoopaTroopaGaming69420]

what song did you use in the voting predict part of the video?

[@pixer415]

These videos are actually a great skepticism test.

[@Storm-_-rider]

OK episode eight round two have people just never heard the fact we don’t have functioning perpetual motion machines lol

[@LootyStuff]

I think round 1 of ep 6 caught people out because it was founded in a half truth. Using a true fact to lie to people is often much more effective, as with little effort the lie could be true, and so it's hard to differentiate.

[@Mathtron5000]

I'm actually shocked at how many people thought the Wii trick was fake because I thought it was widely known that it is a legit solution if you lost your sensor bar

[@keiyakins]

I'm kinda surprised more people didnt know the Wii Sensor Bar one, but i guess im that sort of nerd. e8r2, what the hell. one of them is a perpetual motion machine! Even if you dont make the logical connections with copper windings in motors and generators, *perpetual motion*. (I am pleasantly surprised at how many people believed the tensegrity structure though)

[@josemarialaguinge]

Cool idea.

[@imacgra1]

Sprinkle one does work with sand 3:36

[@kah0922]

Funnily enough, even before I got to the perpetual motion machine, before I saw this video, I saw another video by another KZbinr showing the exact same trick with the copper tube, and then experimenting with it, so I knew that was real. Still shocked that people thought the perpetual motion machine was real.

[@cinnamoncat8950]

Yeah Ive seen multiple videos showing that trick, though I was still surprised at just how dang long it took to get through the tube and figured it was gonna be a half fake where he slowed down the video or smth, until I saw the ball machine and instantly knew it was fake when it went back up

[@jans1982]

I'm amazed by how many people doesn't know how a refrigerator works

[@Silentsouls]

The one with the perpetual motion machine, i can only say that the machine was not fake and it works just like you shown. It is not perpetual due to the batteries. I kinda found that one misleading.

[@Brain-washed2]

5:41 Results really shows the age of the audience… the candle sensor bar was quite well known back then.

[@Couldnt_Be_Bothered]

Nah, I grew up with the Wii and never heard of this. It's probably more of a niche trick.

[@patrykolaf353]

Well some episodes were easy, but some were challenging

[@zenkyrenzo2009]

in the lemon part,solute who didnot pick the lemon

[@lagamerfuel9661]

How did 15% of people see ep 5 and were like “yeah you can blow down on a ball and it will say in place”

[@beaconJr64]

episode 5 part 1 you cant make an underwater torch; laughs in magnesium welder

[@perfectplays1097]

6:27 HOW DID PEOPLE GET TRICKED i could obviously see the cut

[@9_1.1]

i used to eat oreos with chocolate milk all the time, that one wasnt fair at all

[@ronishbarakoti4371]

Is it possible to make magnetic field on metal coin and they Repel the metal needle through the entire surface of coin

[@AriadneArugulaAbsinthe]

no, coins aren't ferrous enough to hold a magnetic charge. the cores are made of zinc

[@MrMinecraft5578]

You forgot the link!

[@justsomeguy5628]

People were actually pretty good, but I legitimately predicted that 90-95% of people would have know the perpetual motion machine was fake, because they are impossible and the way it speeds up seems so unnatural, so unlike everything else, I am legitimately disappointed in them. They didn't know any better, and no hate of course, as I love to see people learn new things, but I don't know how this isn't common knowlege, particularly among people who would actually have seen that.

[@danielpalecek4090]

I'm surprised how many people don't know how electricity works. in some questions it's 23%.

[@Metal_Master_YT]

ok so, all my wrongs were asterisks, I'm still free!

[@10EightyPlays]

Good job!

[@Isaaceli_]

4:15 nah bro how is this one not 100%

[@roaling]

e8r3 was crazy. How many people don't watch the RI christmas lectures?? Come on.

[@imacgra1]

Oh, Minecraft number 2:44

[@mere_object]

I stopped getting your videos in my fyp and was worried that you stopped making these

[@algea2299]

I'm not gullible the first one is fake in episode 3 round 3 as there is no counterweight on the match it has to be fake 2:48

[@imacgra1]

How do people think that the battery and utensil one is real? It’s ridiculously obvious how fake it is. 4:27

[@spinydoodlenuts]

1:56 I guessed 41%

[@forgettableusername9644]

i am disappointed and proud to say that i said 34% for the fake in episode 7 round 2 while it was 35%

[@imacgra1]

Wow 3:28

[@jansongin2636]

A lot of these are just basic science

"2 of the following videos are true while the other one is trash" "None were fake"

[@jobalogo383]

Why dont the precent equal a 100? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH

[@haleyw5677]

Rounding can do that sometimes

[@Pet_Hedgehog]

im actually dissapointed

[@tprofi452]

I honestly do not agree that the perpetual motion one was fake, as the device does actually make the ball move like that; only your explanation why it did do that was wrong. All other fake ones were always actually tampered either by video editing or directly faking it somehow.

[@leonmystique9372]

"Every Perpetual Motion machine makes it seem possible until tou discover the batteries" - 70% of the internet

[@Couldnt_Be_Bothered]

It was more than his explanation of it was a lie. This is true of multiple of the fakes
