I love the details with the muskrat family. The two adults have a child, the child grows up and graduates (the mum either died or left), and the child moves out (the father died I think), and when the muskrat is looking at the billabong it thought that a family of other muskrats had died.

[@IWannaBTheGuy]

Temperatures on mars make it improbable for other liquids to exist outside of the poles. So it's almost certainly water.

[@khosrow]

The northern pole is made of 50% frozen water and 50% frozen CO2. The southern pole has some specks of water. So there definitely is and has been water on Mars. The question is how much. We don't know if those rivers have been formed by water. Maybe it was methane or liquid CO2 from all we know.

Fun fact: A river's distance (line following stream from point A to B) divided by the river's displacement (straight line from point A to B) is Pi. Or at least sits near Pi, and the mean of all rivers is extremely close to Pi. See Numberphile if you care to look into it.

[@siroccupy6041]

[@TigruArdavi]

*wrong* The word is thalweg and it is the line that joins the lowest points of the river bed's cross section (or on land of a valley). It derives from the German geological term Talweg, literally meaning 'valley way'. It is never where the strongest current is, as that is slowed down towards the margins of the bed due to friction. The lineof the strongest current is called the current thread.

Verdiss The mythos is only a small part of religion. For many religion helps deal with pain and problems. Helps people be charitable and kind. The modern atheist movement seems to lack manners, patience and kindness because there is nothing there. A world without religion would not be a utopia as atheists dream about. It would be 'the strongest survives' where morality takes a back foot to statistics. Also atheists need to stop hijacking science like it's the same thing. It's religion vs atheism not religion vs science. That's like religion hijacking a field and every time that field does something we be like "Fuck you atheists"

2:09 In other words: OXBOW LAKES ARE FORMED WHEN A RIVER'S MEANDER GETS TO WIBBLY, WIBBLY, WOBBLY TO MAINTAIN THE COURSE IT'S ON.

[@kaisarsihaloho975]

Add me wobblyorbee from roblox :> wibbly wibbly wobbly

[@GlobalWarmingSkeptic]

Oxbow lakes are formed when a river's meander is too wibbly wibbly wobbly to maintain the course it's on.

[@gilgabro420]

just like humans it takes grate effort to follow a straight path.

[@apostleofthekube3097]

The main flow of the stream diverts itself accordingly, leaving the oxbow lake behind; but here's my question son.

[@excinerus]

What the hell's an oxbow, are our bovine friends fashioning weaponry ? someone should tell me , do i need to buy a shield ?

[@GadgetsHigh]

did i just fall in love with geography ?

[@xcato13x]

so what you are telling me is that a river + darth vader + hour glass = song wiggle wiggle wiggle 0:33

2:30 0011111100100001 translates to '?!'

[@MinuteEarth]

Nice catch :)

[@bonnie_dearest]

Oskar Evans what?

[@dash0173]

it's binary code, kiera, the language that computers "talk" in

[@bonnie_dearest]

adza botchway I mean what dose it say

[@Otzkar]

Kiera Wiggins it says "?!"

[@JuanMartinez-vz2fn]

Beautiful, simple, and clear. Thanks for the explanation.

[@DevinAK49]

Wonderful explanation. Also I like the new voice. Great addition to an awesome channel.

[@colfdralegend]

This is actually one thing I remember from school, guess I found it interesting

[@pflaffik]

and thats why we never invite the Colfdras to parties.

[@colfdralegend]

@@pflaffik I’ve never felt so offended by something I am perfectly fine with

[@amanpandey3031]

This remembers me of my class 10th geography classes, that I've almost forgotten... Those days were just splendid,and my geography teacher were so good . Nostalgia hits hard .. Surely !!!

[@martint1775]

For the curious and lazy people out there.. The robot at 2:30 said ?!

[@OrangeC7]

Markus Stromme is secretly Yoda shhhhh don't tell anyone ;)

[@kainraab]

Markus Strømme just tell me what it said

[@mirhasanoddname]

It said "?!". Literally.

[@GAND-OZZ]

Or in binary number code, it said 63 33

[@zedspoint4614]

Didnt realise I needed to know this. Thank you!

[@artaizen1613]

A rare case of aha moment struck me watching this video. Subbing

[@labanxirou5573]

I love how I had to watch this for my class.

[@bethany609]

Same😭🤚

[@thesciencerapshow]

its MUCH better now i turned it into a rap on my channel!

[@ItachiUchiha-ip5en]

I remember this being taught by our geography teacher in 9th grade but i never understood it properly, i think its cuz i was too little to understand it then, it should be taught in 11th or 12th. Btw, thnq for explaining it🙏🏻

[@pianopiano8345]

I am at 7th grade😑

[@TerryPlays]

not me cuz im lazy loll

[@laurentiucristian1]

I learn lots of useless information at school, but never ever they told me this. I had to memorize the capital of every country in the world, but I didn't had to explain some elementary things like this.

[@waferjuice]

this stuff is taught during basic geography.

[@bibekgautam512]

***** You're so flopped. :D

[@dannne88]

A question I've never asked myself but one i wanted an answer to the exact moment i saw this thumbnail on youtube. And the icing on the cake, straight to the point! You don't know how good that is. I usually jump a couple of minutes because is so much filler in the beginning. 11 out of 10!

[@uncleiroh6611]

This video is basically saying that muskrats are Darth Vader Maybe not but I suppose they make a good pet for him!!!!!!!!!!

[@snorreproductions]

Martians called them "scrobbles" because it sounds like it smells...

I've never heard of a "hoefijzermeer" before, even though I am Dutch. However, I **have** heard od an "oxbow lake". Strange things, languages; I know words in English that I don't know in Dutch and vice versa...

omg the binary at the end translates to ?!

Algorithm chooses me to revisit this simple yet intuitive geography video

[@solancan1287]

This video is entirely wrong. Curves are caused by the moon and its gravitational pull. As it orbits one way, it pulls the stream to it. Then when the moon passes from the opposite horizon, it then pulls it back the other way. Perhaps if the author of this video had of visited /r/science on reddit, they would have known this.

I hope you are being sarcastic.

[@ChristianTipling]

I read something like this on lies my History Teacher told me. Another lie was that the Athenians made the first written language, NOPE, it was Africa Visit us at /r/blackhistory on reddit to learn more.

[@tisebi14]

Christian Tipling How is that relevant to what i said?

Now i know where the brand "billabong" means.
