[@me-myself-i787]

Yes, it does. "In the beginning, God† created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters. 3 God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day”, and the darkness he called “night”. There was evening and there was morning, the first day. 6 God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” 7 God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. 8 God called the expanse “sky”. There was evening and there was morning, a second day. 9 God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;” and it was so. 10 God called the dry land “earth”, and the gathering together of the waters he called “seas”. God saw that it was good. 11 God said, “Let the earth yield grass, herbs yielding seeds, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with their seeds in it, on the earth;” and it was so. 12 The earth yielded grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with their seeds in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good. 13 There was evening and there was morning, a third day. 14 God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs to mark seasons, days, and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth;” and it was so. 16 God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light to the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good. 19 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. 20 God said, “Let the waters abound with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.” 21 God created the large sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. 24 God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind;” and it was so. 25 God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good. 26 God said, “Let’s make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 God said, “Behold,‡ I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food. 30 To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so. 31 God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day. 2 The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished. 2 On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. 3 God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done." - Genesis 1:1-2:1, World English Bible

They also say the bible knew about hares being grazers that regurgitate their food to chew it again, like cows, before it was discovered officially. Not sure how much that holds up now. Edit: They aren't exactly ruminant animals. They eat their feces, without chewing, perhaps, to digest it again and absorb all nutrients left. I don't remember exactly if I was told they regurgitate, but it's likely, because I was never told they actually do it differently than cows.

Robin, im Sick of hearing you call yourself stupid. You are not. There are many forms of intelligence, and even if you might feel lacking in some areas I can’t judge, I can tell that you excel in emotional intelligence, and you comprehension skills are at least good as well. Also lack of knowledge isn’t lack of intelligence. I doubt there’s anyone educated on ALL the topics we come across here in the subreddits… also, as with many other things, people that believe themselves to be stupid are usually not. Because even being aware of the fact that there is a gradient there and seeing there’s stuff you don’t understand (and nobody understands everything, that’s why we have research) suggests a certain level of intelligence. I really enjoy listening to you and you commentary and opinions. Don’t put yourself down, you’re an awesome person ❤️

And even in matters besides intelligence, he's skilled at being great host with good vibes.

1:13 To be fair, depending on your definition of sentience, some plants do fit the criteria. Obviously if you're going eith the colloquial "humanlike" sentience, they aren't. If you're going the more scientific route where fish and most bugs are sentient to some extent, yes, some plants *are* actually sentient. Usually trees, and often it's moreso the entire forest than any individual plant. But they can take in and react to external stimuli, feel and respond to pain and injury, and even communicate with each other to an extent.

[@OliveDasi]

I'm in the Geography sector. It actually depends on where you live as to what you are taught regarding how many continents there are as the definition can be a bit loose. In most of the English speaking Western world, China, Japan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Suriname, India, Indonesia, & parts of Africa the 7 continent model that most of us know is typically used. However, in parts of Eastern Europe and Russia, Europe and Asia are combined to make up a 6 continent model. Another 6 continent model, which combines North and South America (but leaves Asia and Europe separate) is taught in Greece, Latin America, and other Romance Language speaking countries (French, Spanish are examples of these languages, but I am unfamiliar of what they are taught). Note: This is a generalized overview. I'm Aussie-American, so I can't say for sure what is or isn't taught in different parts of the world. I also specialize in satellite imaging and analysis, but I do have education in generalized geography as well. So if some specific countries are off, I apologize. In fact, a 5 continent model is even displayed on something many people have seen multiple times in their lives - The Olympic Flag. You also have subcontinents like India, Alaska, & the Arabian Peninsula. Submerged continents that are almost completely underwater with little bits peaking out such as the case of Zealand - which roughly 94% of the continent is still underwater but with New Zealand and New Caledonia peaking out! In fact, it's about as large as Australia! So TL;DR - it honestly depends on where you are from or what you are referencing when talking about this. As painful (and God, it's been painful) as this video has been with the awful geography, this one wasn't one of them!

11:24 Technically he's not wrong and here's why: "Haiku" is a Japanese word, and what Japanese does with its language is use syllables to spell out its words, so "haiku" would be split up into "ha", "i", and "ku", and when an a and i are next to each other, the syllables are usually combined into one but not necessarily, you might see people alternate from saying "nai" and "na-i" without actually changing the meaning.

The English "haiku" and the Japanese "haiku" aren't the same, since one is English and the other is Japanese. Since the haiku is written in English, the way the Japanese word is divided doesn't apply. Also, _technically_ technically, the Japanese "haiku" consists of three morae, not syllables.

1:30 that’s Pokémon Black and White 2. The location shown is a haunted house, so I believe what they’re saying is that when you’re level grinding in the haunted house against the ghost Pokémon found there, you’re fighting the ghosts of humans. Eevee is also spelled like that. Funnily enough it’s normal type so can’t hit ghosts with its normal type moves, but it also has bite most of the time which is a dark move and maybe other moves that can hit them so it doesn’t really matter lol.

20:47 They're arguing about the rules for "regeneration" which is a specific mechanic in the card game Magic: The Gathering. Regeneration appears on a whole bunch of cards, going back to the very first set in 1993. Regeneration is a pretty simple idea; "If the creature would die, it just heals instead!" but due to the specifics of how some parts of Magic's rules works, the exact way that regeneration works are actually one of the more complicated mechanics in the game and kind of requires that you know how a bunch of other things work. Any Magic players who think they know exactly how it works, I invite you to look up replacement effects and state-based actions and see if you've actually got it right. I say this knowing I probably do it slightly wrong, too.

9:40 To give birth at age 12 can be from any point from the 12th birthday, to one day before the 13th birthday. Working backwards we can say conception happened 9 months earlier. Many say 10 months from actual conception, and likely just 9 from the time of discovering the pregnancy but lets work with 9 months as per the comment. That means the latest point of conception is 12 months - 9 months = 3 months after the 12th birthday. The earliest point is 12th birthday minus 9 months. So the possibility is in the range of 9 months (minus one day) at age 11, or 3 months (also minus 1 day) at age 12. So yes, its more likely the mother conceived during age 11 than during age 12 if you are only looking at the possible age ranges for conception.

I’m no expert tho, so I could be wrong. But Paleontology is the study of ancient animals. I remember that because I had a lunch detention with a teacher who I didn’t know that was helping a student I didn’t know study for a test of hers. She explained the difference between paleontology and archeology to hi. In the beginning then more towards the middle asked him if he remembered what the difference was. He did, but I did and my big mouth just blurt it out when he said he didn’t know. She was surprised but laughed and told me I was right and I had a good memory.
