QI Full Episode: Quarrels | Season Q Episode 3 | Including Aisling Bea, Jason Manford & Anuvab Pal

[@jimmyholloway8527]

Aisling on any show is enough to get my eye. Great episode, but she's so lovely.

[@mehblahmehblah]

She always steals the show.

If there exists a single person on Earth who isn't deeply in love with Aisling Bea...

For anyone interested in, "Why don't planes have giant parachutes for an emergency?" 1. Some very small airplanes actually do have parachutes for an emergency. 2. Commercial airliners are far, far too heavy. The size and weight of the parachute(s) required would be impractical. 3. Commercial airline travel is already one of the safest forms of transport in the world, and in the overwhelming majority of cases where airplanes _do_ crash, a giant parachute would not have helped.

[@Ichneumonxx]

Not to mention, there isn't a parachute capable of handling speed of up to 900kph.

[@Ichneumonxx]

@@johnreder4118 to be fair, if it's a small plane there's no way you have enough time to put on a parachute and get yourself out. They're flying at way too low altitudes for that.

[@Ichneumonxx]

@@johnreder4118 Chill, "to be fair" is a figure of speech. Armchair experts are everywhere.

[@MultiMolly21]

My thought on that score was the opportunity to shed half the weight of the plane by dropping off the luggage compartment and anything else the plane can do without, and a series of parachutes the length of the top of the plane.

I'm from a different country in Europe and I love QI but sometimes I get pretty riled up that these uploads NEVER have subtitles. I know good English but I don't understand everything.

[@annwagner5779]

Nobody else does, either. 😉

[@solanumtuberosa]

Im just grateful enough they upload

[@jeffmcleod3829]

I knew the answer to the airplane question, thanks to the Grey youtube vide

[@sourabhmayekar3354]

Thank you

Shakespeare invented the word quarrelsome😅? Awesome trivia.🎉

[@RealBradMiller]

I'd love that infinite mirror thing they did as a wallpaper. Just all four of them acting goofy!

[@matthuck378]

In my experience (in the US), everyone stands 6 feet away from the one using the cash machine.

[@These_Old_Engines]

So in denmark does the queue just stop forming when you are serving the last person? What happens if another person walks up? This "study" does not make much sense. The "first" person who is now last has to wait for everyone who has been waiting a shorter time then them, plus any new people who come up to be served? I would suggest leaving that shop and letting it fail.

Why would you stand on the right on a moving walkway or escalator in the UK? Shouldn't the right be the passing zone in a country that drives on the left?

[@hmaddog5967]

So this bothers me a lot as it's only in London they do this. Annoyingly the city close to me has two major train stations, at one you walk on the right, the other is correct and on the left...

[@santaabolina7235]

If they put such screens with endlessly mirrored person with delayed movements by the elevator I guess no one would ever complain about elevators being late. On the contrary people would miss their elevator not noticing it came and went already

[@Ewr42]

What is the reasoning behind the scores? I never get it

[@alleeum]

The + points you earn depend on how interesting you're being; predictable answers (klaxons) are -10. And points are added up across the entire taping, but a lot is cut in editing -- so the totals will never line up exactly, anyway. :)

[@junbh2]

It's vaguely connected to being interesting and right. But mostly they're just given on a whim so they don't make sense, and pretty much anyone can win.

[@catatonicbug7522]

I was in the airport today, and went up and down several escalators. I thought of the "stand on the right" idea on each one, and never once saw anyone try to do anything but stand on the escalator. People in the US never try to walk up or down escalators. They all just stand, so the position doesn't matter. Now, the moving sidewalks are another story...

[@chrisregnaire3570]

🎉

[@bobmoshe]

As a full fledged American of 73 years I will say that I always try to walk up (not down so much) the escalator and am annoyed at those who block both sides. But I get the point...

[@SB4F]

Weird, I've never noticed less people walking up escalators in the US, I'll pay more attention from now on

[@katemaginn8078]

Most DC locals know to stand on the right, walk on the left, at least on the metro escalators. Certainly many people don't know, but you'll usually catch someone getting antsy behind them until they move! I thought it was common practice in other major US cities too, but maybe not.

[@rubenmontoya4147]

I live in the US, and I walk up escalators, usually not down.

A lot of the times people have flown so much they don’t pay attention to the safety presentation. Also in a real situation people tend to panic so they’re not going to be like ooh let me look for this thing and or when they do, they inflate it when you’re not supposed to. For example, on Ethiopian Airlines flight 961, people panicked and inflated their life jackets early so when they got stuck under the fuselage underwater, they drowned

[@dokukarmagad12578]

If the Victorians had quicker reactions than modern people why was their 100 meter sprint record so slow? Their record reached only 10.8 in the 1890s and our record today for 100 meters is 9.58. Sprint speed is rate of stride X length of stride. Although people are generally taller today, it is remarkable that we have overcome our slower reaction time to improve on their record by so much. Of course we have better tracks, better shoes, etc., but they had much more unreliable and likely more favorable timekeeping. Or perhaps it may be that the Victorian runners were upper class British people and the field at that time did not include working class people or people of color. Or maybe the study did not consider members of the entire human race in their modern sample.

[@cacwgm]

It's well-established that there has been a general erosion of speed, agility and dexterity in the general population of industrialised countries (though there are spectacular outliers) over the decades. The most popular theory is that it's because it's less useful than it used to be, as fewer and fewer people really need these attributes to be successful.

[@gabbleratchet1890]

Because the Victorians had no idea how to train for maximum performance and they were, as you say, drawing on a very small talent pool.

[@padredelaverde]

Sound more like anti-life boats to me.
