[@maxim_beatbox]

There are different or parallel Whovilles btw. In Dr. Seuss' "Horton Hears A Who", Horton the elephant hears an entire Whoville on a dandelion. He protects the dandelion and its Whoville. EDIT: Thanks to @elvytica because I forgot to mention they live on a speck of dust that landed on a dandelion.

[@marthmallow7420]

the plot for that movie is crazy af

[@elvytica]

specifically, they were living on a speck of dust that landed on a dandelion

[@maxim_beatbox]

@@elvytica yeah

[@taylorjoshbenner7175]

I was thinking about that movie the whole conversation lol.

[@Marigold11037]

Doesn't Horton Hears A Who disprove the relative time theory then? Because when he talked to the Who's they experienced the same time passing Unless the relative time ALSO applies to the planet Horton lives on?

[@ouijalookatthat]

you guys are missing a very important detail: whovian christmas means very tiny jesus

[@tmatar6345]

and how did the wise men find baby jesus...with what stars?

[@dexterthewolf9144]

Wait until Sean and Ethan hear about Horton Hears a Who

[@atomicukiyo]

I was thinking this the whole time 😂 "Have they tried screaming?" Yes, acutally, and an elephant heard them

[@harleenvt]

Wait till they hear that Whovians live on a piece of dust that just happened to be inside that snowflake for that story and it all takes place in real time compared to rest of world too. It all lines up.

[@ahhguts]

i got so worried that i wasn’t going to be able to leak today!

[@slinkadoo6292]

I have 0% leakage control. I leak all day until this airs. Am I dependent? I don't want to use this as a crutch but I NEED this to not leak. I fear it may be just that. Please leak on me for comfort. NO. I am better than that. No Leak November can't come soon enough...

[@gerardwayseyelash]

[@fulicious2991]

They should do an irl episode in America

[@coffeeaddict9605]

Wasn't there some falling out between Sean and Mark? Or was that people over exaggerating something small?

[@rowannnnnnnnn]

@@coffeeaddict9605 from what I could tell, Sean and mark just like unfollowed each other or smth on like twitter or IG or some other platform? But remember that a falling out wouldn’t make any sense with the information currently available as the two of them co-founder Cloak (the clothing brand they both own) Anyway it’s not really my business so I’m just commenting my little daydreams lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@sydneykuiper4669]

MY Santa theory is he shrinks down onto the snowflake and does Whoville Christmas until the end of Whoville time, and then he pops back out into our world since only 45 minutes have passed. So in those 45 minutes he's lived billions and billions of years. That may be why Santa is so powerful, he's lived millennia in Whoville time to hone his craft.

[@Xane_xi]

so santa basically used the whoville planet for billions of years as an extreme version of the hyperbolic time chamber? thats my new head cannon lmao

[@BoffaG1]

I like this but I don't think so. There's multiple snowflakes with whos on it

[@morty1609]

the fellas totally got it backwards, this is the true santa lore

[@Silly7852]

Nah, it's a whole other dimension. Just like we have Jim Carrey they have the Grinch. No breaking the 4th wall, we can't mix the two. They have their own Santa who lives in their dimension, surely.

[@Janna-ng7fp]

I love how long they've been discussing Whovillian Time Relativity. 😂😂😂

[@MerryGoGirl]

I love that it took Seàn almost 20 minutes to finally understand Whovillian time relativity. 😆

[@lildemonchan7690]

I like that we get to see just how much Mark has educated Ethan on The Grinch. Ethan’s having to reference back to the *[Redacted]* cookie and eggnog muckbang video from all those years ago.

[@naterocks96]

A "Whovian" is a Doctor Who fan, lol. I'm glad the comments are at least saying it correctly.

Sean loosing his mind over quantum physics in context of whoville and santa was definitely not was i was expecting but i am so happy it's happening. But the frozen water convo afterward oof: YES, IT WOULD WEIGH THE SAME. Love physics talk. I have to make sure everyone has also heard of the nobel prize winner in the past few years who "PROVED" reality is not "locally real." I also happen to know the answer for Sean's following question: 30 mg of edibles and I gain the ability to time travel, that's the secret.

[@rampantrapture]

I woke up so sad there wasn't a brainleak to drink my coffee and wake up with! I hope y'all keep your morning schedule! It's so nice to wake up with. But I am just glad it's here!!!

[@Thegamesicarry]

15:34 it’s funny how jack says have they tried yelling? Cause in Horton hears a who, Horton actually does hear them yelling from a speck of dirt that Horton catches on a dandelion. The whole movie is about Horton saving Whoville

[@coribrown577]

Wait what about Horton Hears A Who? They lived on a flower as a dust speck!? This episode hurt my leaky brain…. 😅

[@BoffaG1]

24:44 for this argument, when you freeze water the density decreases as the air bubbles are trapped, this increases the volume so by decreasing density and increasing volume in direct proportion the mass will stay equal as m=dv. I think. Hope this helped

[@PKPlaguebringer]

I feel like I arrived in the middle of a very important conversation.

[@myyyles]

Sean-many many years ago when you played Undertale, life was difficult for me that game truly has a special place in my heart because of you. 🖤

[@CGiles]

i would love it if hank green were to guest on Brain Leak!! you could ask him so many questions and honestly itd be so interesting!

[@andywoo0]

Crazy they never mention Horton Hears a Who for the Whoville conversation. Which indicates that Who’s are a species that lives in microscopic worlds

[@nateinthenorth1999]

Freezing water increases its VOLUME but not its MASS so it decreases in DENSITY. If you evaporate it, same thing, but gas is easier to lose l. In a sealed container, it would still be the same weight (a function of mass).

[@Themissingkangaroo]

Suess lore:the who’s live on a constantly moving speck of dust which its seasons are dictated depending on what climate is currently in. Also the who’s from the grinch are the same who’s from Horton hears a who

[@oXBoneSXo85]

I laughed my ass off to the tungsten snowflake. I pictured a snowflake falling slowly and very gingerly lands with a loud CLANG!

I don’t know how well of a game it did over all popular wise but my sister gifted me dead rising one year because she hated it said she “couldn’t finish it” but maybe I’d like it. And she was right.

death stranding is my "everyone hates it but i always have a good time" game. People complain about it being a walking simulator clearly never got to the bit where you're thrown into the 'Nam dimension to be hunted in the trenches. and don't even get me started on how DS related to the covid pandemic -- essential personnel being simple delivery drivers risking their necks out in the Outside while everyone else has to hunker down and struggle against isolation and despair? like hello??? one NPC requires regular deliveries of medication and if you take too long he fucking dies?? SAY IT'S A WALKING SIMULATOR ONE MORE TIME I DARE YOU. I DOUBLE DOG DARE Y (2 bodyguards drag me away)

[@RammerHammer]

The whoville problem can be solved if we all acknowledge that Santa is probably definitely an eldritch god

[@testaccountpleaseignore2653]

As someone who's still an Undertale enthusiast but isn't very involved with the fandom, I do also really miss my first ever playthrough of it and I really wish more people recorded their first playthrough and didn't get burnt alive by the fandom, but I also think that those reactions are also kind of a sign that Undertale was such a well-made game that hordes of people cared about the deaths of characters in a video game. A lot of games have characters that people care about, but Undertale is one of the few where angry mobs stormed you if you accidentally killed one of them.

[@nateinthenorth1999]

Santa would spend less than 45 minutes for us in Whoville, so he's just taking a long lunch break on some random day to knock out several billion years (likely much less, Christmas has only been a holiday on Earth for less than 2k years so far), wouldn't have to go in and out.

[@HyperboreanJihad]

The bit about freezing water just reminds me of the kilogram of steel and kilogram of feathers meme

[@harleenvt]

Im so late to this. But for anyone confused, Whoville and all Whovians take place on a piece of Dust!!! A piece of dust that for the Grinch was inside of a piece of snow. Then later it was on a floofball plant for Horton hears a Who. Its all the same planet, and most of his stories take place on that piece of dust. Grinch Stole christmas wasnt him stealing all of christmas, he stole it from that one Village in WhoWorld. There may be time distortion but we know from Horton hears a Who that they experience time almost identically to what we experience outside of that. Thank you for this ted talk. 😊

I guess christmas came early this episode

[@keatoncampbell820]

Dennis of Vermont, the first boss of Kinderborne Weapons include 1 and 2 hand crayons, markers, and of course the plastic bat. Sippy cup is the refillable pot, allocated between milk for health and juice for mana. Drawings and doodles are faith magic, with homework being the int magic. There's always booger magic which scales with both, along with tantrums which are either dex/STR skills or faith/int madness magic. Equipment slots are shirt, pants, shoes, and diapers. You waddle above 30% load, and above 70% there's a scaling chance for rolls to become just falling on the ground The objective of the game is to stop the principle from taking away recess from the kindergarten. School is k-8 and the 7th and 8th grades are end-game optional zones. The real struggle is modeling tbh at least the mechanics are worked out by the genre

Sean PLEASE watch the Grinch again! It's such a good movie. It tells such a good story about someone who is different and then proves to people they're not a weirdo and get's accepted. It teaches you not to hate on someone just because they look different to you. He isn't a bad guy, he just got bullied and it's so sad :(

[@thomashickman2542]

16:44 I always assumed santa exist in whoville the same way he does in real life. He isn't real, but kids think he is. That is why we don't see Santa trying to stop the Grinch in any of the movies

[@emotionaldamageemo]

I'm listening to this while trying to revise for physics and the amount of things you're making me question rn are not ok (also the cup of water will have the same weight, no particles are added or removed, so the mass is the same)

[@ZombieJoeTJ]

17:20 Remember Santa is an Omega level Mutant in the Marvel comics and he has magic in any other lore, he can achieve anything

[@TrickstarEX]

So today I learned that Santa is far beyond multiversal and the fastest thing alive. Also he can solo Superman and Goku. In fact the reindeer can too.

[@Gamrison]

44:30 literally the opposite of Nagzz' subathon, he thought it might last MAYBE a few days max, and then went 47 Days haha. The ONLY reason it ended was because holiday season was coming up and Nagzz didn't want people spending money just to keep it going for the meme, when they could use it for gifts and such instead haha. All that said, good luck on the Subathon, doing it with the stream being on at all times seems insane, but you can do it! Edit: My favourite "terrible" game is Sonic 2006, I loved it, still do.

Water changes in density when it freezes but doesn't lose/gain weight because it changes in size, less dense = bigger ice cube, more dense = smaller ice cube

[@Oblivionator100]

Sean catching up with the whole conversation like halfway thru. 😆

[@caylajean3698]

Didn't get to have my normal 2 a.m. leak sesh but I'll still gladly take it now ❤

[@Silly7852]

If you've ever seen the movie where Horton (an elephant) hears a who, you would know that size comparison would suggest that the who's are less than a speck of dust. Meaning that the Grinch is but an atom.

[@Silly7852]

Atoms can pass thru light, right? Bc if so my atom theory would line up with Eef and Sean's theory on time perception in whoville.

[@egeuludag972]

So lets say when we freeze a cup of water, like Seán says the density changes, but unlike what Seán says the molecules of the water gets closer to each other. That means the m / v (formula of density) the m doesn't change, but the V gets smaller since the molecules wants to get closer to eachother. So when you freeze a cup of water (I already forgot why I am typing this) the density is increased.

[@davidpeppercorn6426]

My favorite game I played that I also hated was Starfield. I played it in the least correct way possible though; I hoarded absolutely everything I could find and put it all in a pit in my house, then tested the garbage pile with explosives every now and then until the game crashed. When it crashed I treated it as the true ending of the game for me and I loved it. There were times I did genuinely try to play the game the way they probably wanted me to play and I hated how boring and slow it was.

[@xyz8460]

1:12:10 my favourite sht games: Timeshift and Singularity They are old games (2007 and 2010), both have time travel plots and mechanics. Timeshift is quite janky but that's why it's fun, Singularity has a good plot

[@lucasfsm8874]

I remember in like the mid 2000`s a sonic game was released called sonic chronicles, it was a turn based game which was apparently a massive flop and was hated by the sonic community but me as a 10 year old found the game so much fun.
