He REALLY undersold the transistor. Generally considered to be, by far, the most important invention of the 20th century. Think of the transistor as the most basic unit of a computer processor, our whole digital age is built on then transistor.

[@goblin6673]

14:13 I’m sorry to tell you Gaynor but 2hr washing isn’t the norm here, that was just your particular washer which i was just as surprised as Sophie to hear

[@LazerboltVids]

The letters on a typewriter are arranged seemingly random, but they were placed that way to avoid commonly used letters from "sticking together" when the hammers strike.

[@Roboto2073]

Finally, someone that knows facts.

[@DashRiprock513]

The most common letters, were made the home keys....then the remaining, laid out according to frequency of use and reachability.

[@roymoore3156]

Had to take typing in my sophomore year. Manual “Royal” and IBM selectric…the one with the ball style type head. Later typed for a facet of an Army job, up to 70+ wpm, at times on a teletype that was designed for 100 wpm top speed. Learning to type was a good thing.

[@rmora1]

The letters weren't sticking together, The hammers would jam if you typed to fast,. It was to prevent mechanical jamming. the placement was to try and reduce jamming.

[@magdielserrano9554]

This is also why the American keyboard layout is QWERTY and not alphabetical

[@robertahrendt67]

Cork and wax sealed bottles before bottlecaps. And your next question is "how did they open corked bottles before corkscrew".

[@jaredf6205]

They didn’t open them, they only closed them.

[@boomerbn]

Weren't the corks on a lever and latch?

[@liamengram6326]

Just buy a nice bottle of beer or a growler and you'll know how.

[@vasquezovj65]

Silent movies didn't just leave it to your imagination they had subtitles running on screen.

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

Interstitials usually.

[@spacemanduke3404]

also they had acting, camera work, effects. I suppose itd be like comparing audiobooks with books you read yourself

[@codytank111]

QWERTY was used to reduce the jamming of typebars as they moved to strike ink on paper. The typists were moving so quickly that it would cause the bars to get stuck. QWERTY has the letters placed around letters that would usually not come after one another in a word, as well as gave optimal spacing for all the typing bars.

[@sarahnadeofpoetry]

An excellent explanation. Thank you!

[@strangebotwin-]

Never in my life have I heard of someone going to the airport the night before to check your bag. Lol

[@bamachine]

Silent films had captions for dialogue or descriptions. They were typically written in fancier scripts, many of those are now fonts we use today. Most larger homes have a top loading washing machine but they don't take two hours, more like 40 minutes. Bottles were sealed with either corks or a flip-top, see Grolsch beer, which still uses that style to seal their bottles.

[@LA_HA]

bamachine: On another video, the comments are filled with people correcting things she says and laughing about how she just confidently says a whole lot of things that are just crazy. So, I don't listen to what she says any more. Or I at Least double check it for myself because Wow. haha

[@EMD1028]

Never saw a washing machine that took 2 hours to wash a load. Even the older ones took 45 minutes max.

[@marydavis5234]

Back in the 60s , it took longer to do laundry, as the washing machine did not go very fast.

[@EMD1028]

@@marydavis5234 I agree and your 100% correct as to the 60's but they lived in the states in mid 90's and it was nowhere near 2 hours. Let's be realistic. Yes it did take longer than it does even today. Common Maytag or Whirlpools back then would easily do a heavy load in under an hour.

[@caedmon232]

Cork was used (and still is for wine bottles) for bottle tops.

[@peterthompson8014]

Corks. They used corks before caps to seal bottles. 😂

[@Out-Of-Service]

My grandparents in Kentucky had an outhouse toilet when I was a kid. My grandmother would tell us boys to go out and use it at night because she knew we would just go off the porch on her flowers. It was scary to cross a dark field to a pitch black outhouse when you're 8 yrs old. Always spiders hanging out in there catching flies.

[@alvinscott1331]

Both front and top loading washers are used in the US now. Probably when Ganna first came to the US, top loading washers were probably still the most common.

[@stevemitchell2267]

The side loaders use a lot less water and have become more popular in the last 20 years.

[@GodLovesComics]

Also it has never taken "two hours" to wash clothes in a top loader or any other loader. You could always set the amount of time you wanted the wash to run unless she was using a machine from the 1940's!

[@greatriffishere]

Yeah, well when I was growing up in the 70's almost all the washers and dryers were top loaders. Things have changed over the last 20 years and now I see many front loaders.

[@alvinscott1331]

@@greatriffishere Same here. The only time I ever saw a front loading washer is at the laundrymat when it was time to wash the bedspreads and blankets.

[@GodLovesComics]

It's a fun video, but I'm sure we can all agree that it's pretty dopey to compare the invention of the iPhone, transistor, and movies with sound to the "invention" of Ranch dressing and cheese on a burger. The first person to sprinkle some shredded cheese on a bowl of chili isn't an inventor! It is just such a weird inclusion of recipes because I'm sure those states had some kind of actual invention.

[@protonneutron9046]

transistors are the most important invention of the 20th century. Modern (non vacuum tube) are not possible without them

[@TeamEvil84]

Im from the US and a normal wash cycle usually takes between 50 minutes to an hour to complete. However, this time could be faster or slower depending on load size and the cycles or options you choose. Also we have both, top loading washing machines and front loading ones.

[@kevinprzy4539]

yup, top loaders are cheaper and do take longer but the benefits (from what I've read) is that your clothes are actually cleaner and the clean scents stays longer than a front loader.

[@LA_HA]

What takes 2 hours to wash? I don't recall how long it took to do the wash when I lived in our house, but it couldn't have been too much longer than the 35-45 minutes it takes when I use the apartment building's washer. Maybe it's shorter to allow more access, but I don't recall thinking it was excessive. Both top loading, btw. But, I guess it fills the drum in a couple minutes, washes in 15-20 depending, rinses in 5-10 depending, spins for about 5-10, and soaks for a couple minutes in between to allow soaking and draining the water. So, that makes sense. I don't think it's ever taken me 2 hours to just wash anything. Not even comforters. Not even the handful of times I went to the laundromat. What's she doing? Does she have a fancy washer that does extra stuff?

[@liamengram6326]

My washer takes 33 minutes for a standard wash, up to 1h 30m for a sanitary wash.

[@LA_HA]

Before the bottle cap was invented, they just put corks in the bottle. Worked for centuries.

[@beanscollections2020]

The telephone, iron lung, microwave, world wide web, and much more invented in Massachusetts. ....they went with Facebook 😅 heck I would have chosen chocolate chip cookies or Tupperware over Facebook lol Bottles used corks like wine prior to bottlecaps. As for pre-can opener, the cans were much thicker, and people just used any sharp object to open them. Canned goods were not as popular in average households then either and mostly used for long journeys on ships and such.

[@Maelus927]

DARPANET was created in DC by the DOD in 1969. The World Wide Web which made the base services created by DARPANET available to the public was created by a British scientist working at CERN on the Franco-Swiss border. Nowhere near Mass.

[@liamengram6326]

The Microwave was invented in Maine and was built on the foundation of work done by NASA.

[@liamengram6326]

The telephone is also questionable.

Edison's Menlo Park lab is ~ 1 mile from where I live and it has been preserved and is now a museum. Thanks to Menlo Park, New Jersey can also claim the phonograph and the motion picture camera! You can still see the original "movie studio" that Edison used.

[@1980bcman]

What was left of Edison's Menlo Park laboratory is no longer in New Jersey it was moved to Dearborn Michigan by Henry Ford in the 1920s

[@cmlemmus494]

@9:00 I'm simplifying, but the way to think of bulletproof vests is that Kevlar is a very tough, very thin fabric that causes force to be distributed over a larger area. A vest might have 50 layers of Kevlar. When a fast moving object (bullet, shrapnel) hits the vest, instead of punching straight through it will tear a few outer layers, but it loses a lot more speed than you would expect since the force is being spread out. It still feels like being punched, hard, but it doesn't kill you. @13:30 Typically, top-loading washers are cheaper with fewer advanced features than front-loading. @15:30 Bourbon is a whiskey made with a mash that is at least 51% corn (maize) and aged in oak barrels. @17:00 Prior to bottle caps, bottles had corks or stoppers (a rubber or cloth plug).

[@bobbimccain2385]

My top loader washer runs ca 20 minutes for a large load. It is also has no agitator in the middle, so you can get more clothes in the load.

[@VineVitumEt5]

I think it's sweet that Gaynor makes homemade sauces. My mom, may she RIP, used to make an Italian dressing for green leaf salads, and pasta salads. For Aiden here's a quick fact. Originally, Facebook was for college students only. A college student needed a college email to set up and make a profile. During this time most people used MySpace which was the cool kids hangout. Then when Facebook was open to all MySpace essentially disappeared. Finally, Henry Ford and Thomas Edison were good friends and neighbors in Fort Meyers, Florida. Their residences, workshops, and more are a big tourist attraction. I went there with my family in the early 2000's, and was impressed by the workshop, as it still had some inventions in it.

@14:04 Top load washing machines definitely don't take 2 hrs per load lol. A standard load is closer to around 30 min.

[@dougbowers4415]

Catalogs such as Sears, JCPenney & Montgomery Ward were used as toilet paper. They didn’t use glossy paper yet.

[@marcuspi999]

Typewriter keys aren't random. They separated highly used letter combinations. It still jammed though. They fixed it finally when they invented the "font ball". All the letters were on one metal ball so it couldn't jam and you could now change it out to use different fonts.

[@Taewills]

Yes and in true capitalist form, production was paramount so they wouldn’t want to slow down anything lol

Nepoleon Boneparte had a hand in the invention of the can. He offered a prize to anyone who could deliver on a method of preserving food for his army.

Many people are now using front loading washing machines and we stack the dryer on top to save space. People are going to the front load because they use a lot less water and does a better cleaning job Cork was used before bottle caps. Cork is still used for wine and other alcohol bottles

Best thing about top loaders is if you forget some pieces of clothing, while the washer was filling with water, you could just easily open and add last minute clothing.( Which I did a lot) Front loaders you can't, it's too late once you've turned it on.

Alphabetical keyboard layout was changed to QWERTY (first few letters of top row) The alphabetical layout was intended to make it easier to find the keys, hence typists were too quick for the machines to function properly without jamming. However, that theory has been recently challenged by the fact that telegraph operators were part of the first users & the alphabetical layout wasn't efficient e.g. translating morse code, but the alphabetical layout wasn't more efficient for anyone allegedly. (the mechanical aspect is challenged too) So, you weren't wrong, but the plot thickens! (And the electric typewriter inventor was born in Texas but was in Kansas City when he invented it.)

The invention of the "cotton gin" is typically attributed to Eli Whitney, (1793) who was granted the patent in 1794, yet others contributed to its making-including a woman, Catherine Greene and African slaves, two groups that gained little recognition for their input. The inventions that to come out of New Jersey wasn't only Thomas Edison's incandescent light bulb, or first Boardwalk in Atlantic City, or condensed canned soup, nor bubble wrap. The invention of air conditioning invented in early 1900s by an engineer named Willis Carrier (Carrier ac units) in his factory in Newark, N.J. Before bottle caps they used cork. Enjoy watching with you guys, Ed.

[@christophercox9311]

Exactly: they truly screwed up when they attributed the air conditioning unit to Florida. New Jersey had it first. Because it was already manufactured in New Jersey, people could visit Florida or move to Texas. Without AC, Florida would still be an unpopulated swamp and Texas wouldn't be anything more than a back water. AC created the ability of the south to become an economic power house.
