Do you (the Americans) actually have reliable DNA references for historical tribes? I tried to research my own DNA lineage and some ancestor groups, like Pontic Greeks or "circassians" (whatever it meant 200 years ago) had no reliable DNA signatures at all. They were a mix of many races already in the Middle Ages.

@@jmi5969 Yup this. Got to wonder what datasets they use. Probably based on what other Americans think is their family tree. It's a lot of people just using dubious information at best. All you need is enough people to believe that they are X and suddenly you've got complete nonsense. It's not as if anyone is coming over here and asking us to submit DNA samples to improve their results. They're also idiots for handing over their DNA profiles over to companies who will sell it to medical companies. It's all one ball hair away and some minor legislation change from them getting denied medical insurance for some disease that they happen to have a genetic predisposition towards.

I like to believe that Europe has matured enough to recognize that wars are inherently evil and should be avoided when it's possible.

I hate it when Americans say that they "beat the British" when the people that won independence were also british

[@LordranRavin]

Innit, the war of independence was a bunch of disgruntled Brits fighting Britain while being bankrolled by the French and the war was only really won because Britain had 1000s of other things to do as well as fight the French. The US exists because Britain made too many enemies while being stretched too thin. It was mitigating circumstances that 'won' the war for independence, not Americans (they didn't exist yet)

[@another3997]

The reason they managed to beat the British was because, in part, many of those leading the American militia were actually trained by the British in military tactics. Therefore they knew what to expect. Americans forget that Britain is a tiny little island on the other side of the world. We had to send our forces and supplies by ship half way across the globe to fight. And then there is the small matter of the French, who took great delight in providing arms and mercenaries to America. Americans don't like to admit they had help and already had huge numeric and geographic advantages. 😂

[@TalesOfWar]

More accurately, the French and Prussians beat the British and what would become America helped out.

[@TalesOfWar]

@@LordranRavin The French helped out because they wanted the places Britain held. It was supposed to divert their attention away from the more juicy parts of the Empire. But it backfired for them. They didn't really divert resources and then the idea of revolution entered the French psyche not long after.

[@pb5531]

The war of independence was Britain fighting thousands of miles from home with the revolters having help from France, Spain and the Netherlands. They genuinely should be embarrassed it took that long to win.

The thing with Eurovision is, countries dont send established professional musicians. Its like how the Olympics used to be organized in the past, if you were already a professional, making a living doing a sport fulltime, you werent allowed to compete because we already have professional leagues for those people. It would be unfair to countries that dont have a whole scene of paid professional football clubs if for example England could show up with their all-star squad. Its not like the US could send Drake to Eurovision if they were allowed to enter lmao.

[@littlemissmello]

That's not true. Theres not a lot of professionals because it's humiliating not to be first then. But established professionals do and have competed in the past.

[@Chelaxim]

Drake is Canadian...but so is Celine Dion who represented Switzerland in 1988. Also Flo Rida was in a San Marino song a few years back. Also T.a.T.u was already internationally famous when they participated in Eurovision. Don't you Eurotrash know about your own things?

[@nesstora]

Oh, they actually do! I can judge only by my own country, still tho, most of times its some new and noname artists, but sometimes we actually send there someone who is pretty big in context of our county and is professional with big fanbase.

[@oilslick7010]

Not to mention Drake is Canadian, so sending him would be impossible anyway....🤣

[@TheSuperappelflap]

@@oilslick7010 oh idk, insert another famous American singer

[@thorstenh.5588]

I love it when people say "I'm 33% Irish and 25% Italian..." It shows how much they're trying to be less American and therefore less stupid and ignorant. It's a very clever strategy.

7:42 as an American i'm sorry that we have this man in our country, we love Austrailia they kick ass

[@TalesOfWar]

They looks slightly less depressing than a 'Spoons. Even brand new or just refurbished 'Spoons look tired.

[@theslidemappers4470]

@TalesOfWar true but food quality seems similar though

[@moe3120]

love the daily vids man, huge

[@Jvr2777]

Love the vids mate keep it up ❤❤

[@tnsquidd]

I was in a game lobby where an American guy said "Yeah I'm one 16th Irish so I can handle my alcohol" unironically

[@CalSN20]

the thing with eurovision is that it has to be completely new songs to fit a certain genre, and countries never send up superstar acts except like ABBA in the 70s, and if the US joined eurovision they would get 0 public votes and about 3 points with votes from their parents (france and uk) 💀

[@astridlung4162]

When ABBA competed in the Eurovision Song Contest they were still unknown. They started their International carreer by winning the Contest.

[@frankj10000]

It doesn't have to fit a certain genre. And the countries COULD send their biggest stars, but most of those just wouldn't want to compete in Eurovision.

[@TylerIsAStreamer]

Americans also baffle me, a fellow American XD. I love your content and enjoy watching your uploads, keep it up man!

[@--_-Shinigami-_--]

the amount of times you make videos about people being stupid, and then say stupid stuff yourself is hilarious and painful at the same time 😂😭

[@Kloetenhenne]

They don't know whether they like German baked goods if they haven't visited Germany 🤣🤣
