So let me get this straight: his real sister’s name is Emily and on the the show he’s constantly interacting with/annoying a character named Emily. There’s a connection here somewhere.

​@@benhuang2773 One thing the Three Stooges found was that Curly and Curly Joe¹ were the only ones anyone recognized on the street. Larry, Moe, Shemp and Joe simply wore their hair in a more 'normal' way and no one knew who they were, (something you can't do with hair shaved to stubble). All Adam probably does is comb his hair down. 1: There were six men who played in the Three Stooges, Larry and Moe were the only ones there for the entire near half-century.

[@katelynbudnicki8901]

I was at a friends house and I mentioned Adam Ruins Everything. She stopped me midsentence and said that this show is nothing but lies. I pulled out videos where it shows the sources and experts and even parts where Adam specifically says that you guys have fact checkers. She kept saying, well everything on the internet isnt true. The more I argued the more she believed her own comment. It's true that the more you try to get something to believe the truth, the more they'll believe their original statement.

[@kurisu7885]

So your friend is the type that will not have her views challenged and doubled down.

[@fishpunda3000]

As much as I hate to have a friend like yours, some of the sources of Adam ruins Everything aren't really actual factual sources and more just nitpick like the Columbus day one about the earth being a pear with a nipple.

[@taytelatimer473]

Did you show her the video that explains that effect? kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2mxqpepjdFmaNU

[@NolanMc88_]

Well to say that they are "nothing but lies" is asinine, i will give her that the writers have shown signs of bias in how they write, in addition they have used sources from non credible sites and scraped the bottom of the barrel for an expert that agrees. Even when they are giving the 100% truth, sometimes the info doesn't lie, but the way it's presented does

[@Oncus2]

It could be that she feld attacked and then people go full denial mode. No way to get them out of their shell. On the other hand, people with that tendency usually rarely change their mind anyway. It's sad, but some people are not worth arguing with, they will never change their mind.

Yeah, I'm not sure why he wouldn't mention that. It is a sign of a much more trustworthy source than one that never changes with new information or corrects mistakes.

[@MrGamelover23]

He mentioned that they try to issue corrections.

[@TheRealBitterbub]

And...? They've acknowledged and admitted when they got things wrong in later episodes.

Can you guys do an episode about blindness misconceptions? As a visually impaired person, it’s really annoying when the sighted public thinks that we all wear super dark sunglasses everywhere we go and only have canes with a tapper tip. It’s also annoying that sometimes sighted people will think that I am stupid or deaf because I can’t see. It’s happened more times than I can count that once people realize I’m blind, they start speaking slowly and louder to me. While there are deaf blind people, i’m not one of them, my ears work perfectly fine. And also how I use technology, so many people will accuse me of not actually being blind because I can type a comment that is grammatically correct without misspellings; Or even actually find the KZbin video in the first place

[@jq6641]

Yeah, how do you actually search for KZbin videos or look at your screen? Do you use text to speech?

[@doktormcnasty]

And I always thought people claiming to be blind on the Internet were fake news!

Hi Adam, Is there really an opium epidemic? Or are pharmaceutical companies trying to sell more medication that is less effective? And, can you do an episode of the misconceptions of chronic pain? Thanks

[@anthonyitaliano7316]

At 2:72 Adam reminds viewers that you have the ability to answer questions like this yourself with a simple Google search. This is also the case with the opiate epidemic: it is 100% real. It has moved from the inner-cities and into the middle/upper-class suburbs which is only now why it's making so many headlines: it's affecting White People! But seriously, there's plenty of articles and videos on it.

[@roboboro4254]

That's what the opium epidemic is. That's why it's so upsetting, our own pharmaceutical companies are agravating an already serious epidemic by encouraging people to buy more and more medicinal products, which can lead to addiction.

My tradition is once a year, me and my family make a giant pig dinner. We use every part of the pig except organs like eyes brain and heart, then we cook it, slather it with butter and cream cheese, and then dig in.

There is defnitely a hierarchy on transportation. Preferably walk/bike -> public transportation -> used ev -> used hybrid -> new ev ->used internal combustion -> new internal combustion. There are places that electric vehicles would take longer to get to carbon neutral like west virginia but there is no place in the US that traditional combustion engines come out on top. Electric vehicles are still in their early stages and sources of energy will change with it. If you have to get a new vehicle look into getting a used EV. A really great video to look at is TwoBitDaVinci that has epa cited sources. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iajbnnyPfNWVpJY

In contrast to what most websites say shaving can effect how quick the hair grows. It is true, that the hair does not transport any information from the tip to the bottom, so the hair can't tell it's root that it has been cut. But if the skin feels that the hair protection is lower than it should be, than this can speed up hair growth, but just for a short amount of time. Just cutting the tips won't do anything. Also cutting doesn't change the thickness, though when you grow up your hair might become thicker naturally and so it can grow back thicker when you cut it, but it would've started to grow thicker anyway. Yet the small boost in hair growth that you can get when you completely remove your hair might result in a small boost in thickness. So if you want to cut your hair and don't want it to grow faster get a good soothing creme and keep your shaved area warm and you should be fine.
