Brit Reacts to Why Does America Feel So... Bonkers?

[@actadiurna6733]

2:37 - Millie asked how it's possible to survive in -50 degree weather, but we do it all the time here in balmy Minnesota. It's even worse in Alaska. The key is : 1) when air is extremely cold it cannot hold much moisture which means it actually has less effect that moist moderately cold air, just as the dry, intense heat of a desert often feels less hot than a humid moderate heat. 2) If you cover virtually all of your skin (gloves, ski mask, etc) then it doesn't effect you very much. 3) If you dress in multiple layers then you'll be well insulated.

What one has to remember is that the deadliest animal in North America is the Whitetail Deer. Getting Bambi though your windshield at freeway speed can be fatal.

[@jack-of-all-trades1234]

I remember one day that was so cold in upstate NY that it actually hurt my lungs to breathe in the air. It felt as if tiny ice crystals were forming in my lungs.

[@KTKacer]

i experienced that a time or two in Ohio when I was much younger.

[@garyi.1360]

It's not extreme. It's just life.

[@KTKacer]

You can survive at -45°F, but major snow suit, a couple of scarves to 'breathe through" & snow goggles... and do not stay out too long....

[@KimArellano-ve5hx]

That frozen nose hair is a thing😂. I'm originally from the Chicago area. Yes we went out all the time in that kind of weather and back when I was kid (born in 1957) you went to school unless it was a full blown blizzard. I think Australia and Africa win the most dangerous animal's award.

[@JohnMcClain-s5w]

I've been coast to coast probably thirty times and more, ever since I was two years old, with memories of that trip. I'm going again next summer, just to see the sights. America truly does look like depicted! I've also been around the world a few time, courtesy of my "Uncle Sam". I love this country, always have. I'll be seventy in a couple of years and hope to make it past a century, like a couple friends have.

[@DeLee596]

It depends on where you live. I live in rural Texas on the lake. We have copperhead snakes, water moccasins, Pumas, and wild boars. But we rarely have snow. The weather doesn't really get cold until Jan or Feb.

[@johnathanwroe2148]

Things are looking quite bonkers from across the pond as well, my friend. From my own perspective, of course.

[@brucegreenberg7573]

Originally from Western New York State by one of the Great Lakes, Lake Erie. Winters there were always cold and snowy. 🥶

[@kathrynambler1658]

yes here in the Midwest the negative 30 degrees in Fahrenheit with a negative 40 wind chill is not unheard of and is just another winter day in the Midwest. Although lately the weather has gotten less extreme. It can get pretty hot and humid in the summer. There are two things to remember (1 Australia wins the creepy crawlies list And (2 none of the animals mentioned are ever really seen.

[@Whiteruffels]

I believe that yes,the weather can be extreme,and the people,don’t forget everybody else comes here,the news especially with phones recordings every where.So any body with an opinion good or bad gets to say whatever they want for some likes on social media.We are constantly kept an eye on from the rest of the world,not recognized for all the good it does,but certainly pointed out by the media and guests when something is wrong.

[@ct6852]

Do hope people can realize that the profit motive is the same for podcasts, KZbin channels, and mainstream media. Online talking heads are more accessible, granted, but it doesn't mean they're always preaching from the good of their heart. Engagement ultimately equals dollars. I think that's important to keep in mind if/when a podcast is pushing their audience toward extremism.

[@karlsmith2570]

Well, Lawrence isn't wrong about America being the land of extremes because we do have a lot of extreme things here

[@bookman7409]

A lot of dealing with extreme temperatures is about familiarity and perspective. Once you've spent a few weeks below, say, 10F, 0C's pleasant enough, at least if you're out of the wind. My own experiences range from -40C/F to 120F+ in the shade, so I can experience quite a range before I gripe about the outdoor temperature. As for familiarity, that's where you learn how to cope with the temp as it approaches either extreme, including dress and activities. Proper clothing on each end's a must, and so's knowing how to plan your outdoor activities, so you don't get into trouble. Here in northern MN, many folks keep a blanket in their cars, in case of breakdown, and having lived in the southern end of the midwest I'll carry water in the summertime, too.

[@pinkys_pinkies]

Ilive in an extreme area in California. summer temp reaches over 120F (48.889C) and yet Winter it is below freezing with snow. Love the snow, hate the summer! Drought most of the 27 years 'I've been stuck here! Give me the east coast, not west coast please! But I love America!

[@ct6852]

Was hot as hell this summer in North Cali. Then crashed to freezing overnight this November. Get super sick when the weather changes quickly.

[@kimnapier8387]

Love your videos Millie 💘😍! Archie is growing up so quick. He is a beautiful boy 🥰

[@doingstuffwithrus6574]

We did land on the moon. That's why we got all this cheese nowadays 🧀.

[@ge7714]

If you like the change of seasons and your job you stay in the north, or move to warmer weather.You have options

[@williamboyer8294]

Here in colorado it could be fifty degrees one minute and then twenty the next

[@mikeg.4211]

A lot of things you see on YT and social media are exaggerated or just flat out wrong. Other things are extreme, such as weather and about a third of us who have lost their minds politically.

[@jack-of-all-trades1234]

Some of them are AI disinformation bots or trolls from other countries stoking division. I believe that China was doing this in the KZbin comments for a while. I remember noticing comments with really strange grammar that reminded me of reading the poorly written instructions of certain Chinese products.

[@jaylowe2994]

Um... It is December, middle of winter here right now and it is 70*F outside and sunny. Depends on which part of the country you are in. Come to the South.

[@nullakjg767]

i have my AC on right now lol

[@kristinallison5970]

Millie I love your videos! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@XenFayed]

Or come enjoy the erratic weather of the Midwest - 60 today and snow on Thursday!

[@ItsAlpacaMan]

Love your vids

[@Austin.Kilgore]

1:33 That’s my city! Indianapolis!

[@CurlieGrl]

We can be a bit bonkers, but mostly, we're just hard working, generous folks who love our friends & family & just want to get on with the business of living our lives. Come see us in Houston, we'll never let you leave hungry. 😘

[@robertsmith4681]

We get -40 here in Quebec a couple times a year, usually in February, you learn to cover your face and hands but other than that, "its a dry cold" as we say ... We're used to it I guess.

[@_--Reaper--_]

Yankers are a fascinating bunch indeed

[@moe92870]

I unsubbed to Lawrence when he had some guy on his channel, who I guess was a You Tuber, who said he hates coming back to America, because it's so racist. If you're gonna say something like that, you should give an example.

[@lindae2524]

My opinion is that we aren't as extreme as the rest of the world thinks on most things. Boring facts don't "sell" or are very newsworthy. There are extremes all over. Our type of media is drawn to sensational things. So that's what they keep pushing because it gets "eyeballs" & consequently more money. We probably are extreme about some things. Look at how many firearms there are here compared to the rest of the world. Our obesity comes to mind. I don t know. There must be more.

[@ct6852]

Definitely some that take the First Amendment to extremes. They think that means they can make up any lie they want about someone and spread it for personal/political gain. Of that they can legally threaten and harass and bully without consequences. But there IS a lot of gray area in the legality of it all. So they're correct about that.

[@StevenTaylor-xf4ij]

I'm not proud of how much we give when we have Americans in need, yet we have to watch our country give billions away. I'm sick of it.

[@djwinchell]

WHAT?you give billions to America? WHEN?

[@StevenTaylor-xf4ij]

@djwinchell America giving money away is what i was talking about. I'm American, and we're always giving money away, and yet we have over 30 trillion dollars worth of debt.

[@auerstadt06]

Americans giving money to Americans is socialism. And we can't have that!

[@pointofview5921]

​@@StevenTaylor-xf4ijyou should be mad at billionaires taking billions of tax dollars in subsidies while paying 1% to no taxes.

[@rileyanoid8444]

The top five wealthiest in the USA are worth, combined, 856 billion dollars. They pay a fraction of tax due to legal loopholes, and the top three just gave massive donations to Trump's recent campaign; that would be the same Trump who has promised to cut taxes for the rich and screw the poor! I think we all know who the parasites of the world are!

[@warlockofbluecheesesmither2517]

It feels extreme because you lost the revolutionary war.

[@kerrihennebury7616]

I was waiting for the school bus back in the 90’s and it was so cold that when I breathed in, the snot in my nose froze. 😂It’s just normal. Depends on where you live, and I live in New England. Maine. America may have a polarizing media, but doesn’t every country? Stop acting like this is just an American problem. 🙄

[@jack-of-all-trades1234]

Why I fear bears so much. Quote: "When you’re eaten by a bear, they’re very different from other predators, in that a lion or a tiger or a big cat is going to dispatch their prey and bite through the windpipe or do something to kill it, so they can then drag it somewhere to consume it safely. A bear doesn’t do that; a bear will literally sit on you and eat you. Often these people die by bleeding out, and it takes a long time. It’s 10 to 15 minutes of this bear sitting on you eating you alive, not ripping out necessary organs or something to kill you."

[@markgman4157]

Lions sometimes eat their prey alive. There is a video on KZbin showing Lions eating a live zebra if, KZbin hasn't taken it down as violent content. Cheetahs often eat gazelles live because Cheetahs do not have as strong enough jaws to easily dispatch their prey. Cats are notorious for "playing with their prey," including in the wild. They will do this for the cubs to practice.

[@claregale9011]

I beg to differ Lawrence ,brits are the most charitable people youll find . Just look at our comic relief and children in need . I know lots here that have little will give the most . 😊

[@PetersonFarmsofNashvillePFON]

He is pretty right on 👍

[@roger3141]

Really nice reaction to this video. America has always been a country of extremes. From British Loyalists vs. American Revolutionaries, to slaves states (Democrats) vs free states (Republicans), we have always had disagreements among ourselves. We have always had weather extremes and deadly predators. As someone who grew up in the 1960's, I've seen so many different events and attacks against the USA. Most of these attacks are subtle communist trained agitators. Who isn't against war and killing civilians? But the agitators make it seem normal to take violent measures against "the Establishment". Now it is cancel culture, so if you don't agree with certain views, you can get the person with those views banned. I live near St. Louis, MO. So, we are part of the Eastern part of Tornado Alley. We also live on the largest known fault line in North America, The New Madrid Fault. The last large earthquake was Oct. 31, 1895 of magnitude 6.3 and a magnitude 7.7 in 1811. Americans learn to adapt and overcome. We don't normally take unnecessary risks, but we also don't shy away from danger.

[@guyfaux3978]

Lozza always looking to do deadpan wit, but he's not, y'know, WRONG in his general thesis

[@johnzubil2875]

He's lived here for more than 10 yrs. He keeps repeating the same nonsense since he's moved here.

[@greenbeech3055]

America has gone downhill since the 90s. America used to be a fun country to live in.

[@AdonisNineteen99]

What the hell is... bonkers??

[@marianncadmus9572]

Crazy

[@barbarayoung3208]

While America has gone bonkers lately I don’t think it’s just us. The internet has brought so many good things to the world but many, many more bad things. Add to that a generation that has way too much time on their hands, a declining moral compass, and it’s just a recipe for disaster. I can’t help but compare us to the Roman Empire. We are literally going to bring ourselves to ruin from the inside. Hopefully we can correct ourselves and put that off for a bit though 😂. There is a plan and you can read up on exactly what’s going to happen ✝️ so fear not. If you know you know!❤

[@Cheesesteak70-d1v]

So it took an Englishman to immediately realize the biased nature of the news networks. maybe because in his country and many others they have more than just two choices and don’t have to decide the lesser of two evils or the lesser of two liars ,keyword.2 We need at least three. And not just an independent extremist throwaway vote.

[@mitchellbatchelor1594]

No British citizen should ever talk about America. Your country is falling apart with your liberal ideology & war on free speech. Don’t worry about us, you just take care of yourself.

[@TyOneWorld66230-y]

Hey Millie. You're sitting too low. Your head should be slightly above the video. You're almost disappearing at the bottom of the screen.

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

I think it's the camera that is way too high up not her chair.

[@TheWardog1701]

And now you know why we are so pist it all boiled down to democrats and you get used to wearher

[@jeffhampton2767]

Lawrence is BONKERS 😊

[@jaredhansen5364]

As an American, I think I finally understand how Germans that didn't agree with mustache man felt in the 1930s.

[@jeffhampton2767]

IM NOT WATCHING THIS VIDEO. I CAN'T STAND LAWRENCE. I WILL WAIT FOR YOUR MOMS COOKING VIDEOS. 😊

[@DavidZinselmeier]

Lawrence is getting to be very very extreme. His recent videos have gross exaggerations in them. He is relying on click bait to get views. I have unsubscribed him. i am sorry to do that, but I can't watch his untruthful video's anymore,

[@claregale9011]

We don't like him here either I'm in England . 😊 bloody stupid faces he's pulls are irritating too
