Um Actually, the temperature of the water you use to remove a stain is dependent on the type of stain. If it is oil based, you actually want to use colder water, because lower temperatures raise the detergency of soap.

[@stevesmith9617]

I challenge the use of the word" detergancy". Foul.

[@nielspederpedersen8716]

also, heat sets certain stains making them harder to remove, such as blood.

[@rearct]

Um actually hot water gets most stains out better than cold water, including oil stains. (Blood is a notable exception.) This is because hot water is a better solvent than cold water, so it will hold more dissolved detergent and more dissolved oil. Also, while modern laundry detergents will activate at relatively low temperatures, hot water is still more activating than cold water. Also, I don't know if soap is more effective at lower temperatures! That would be neat, I'd like to read about that. But laundry detergents aren't soap, so that doesn't apply here either way.

[@jamesp5408]

​@@rearctum, actually, the problem with hot water is not that it reduces the capacity of the water to hold soap or stain debris, it's that some substances, particularly those that contain significant protein and some fats, tend to denature and cling much more tightly to fabric. This is particularly problematic with blood, bit also applies to some oils and protein-rich fats like cheeses. For theses substances, the solvency of hotter water is overwhelmed by protein transformation.

When they said “The Sea Monk” I ended up thinking of a Japanese yokai named “Umibōzu” which tends to be translated to mean “The Sea Monk”. It’s way more terrifying than what they’re talking about. Basically giant shadow giants with terrifying eyes just kinda watching in the ocean?

And he totally CAN award 2 points for a question if there are 2 different correct answers, his "I already said I'd give the point to Dani" note is bs. To be fair David was guessing at that one and didn't have specifics so I'm okay not giving it to him, but still!

[@KelpTheGreat]

It really, really wasn't.

[@Johan.Molenberghs]

Um actually, the most defining thing about a sea monk is it "as wearing a habit" which is why ppl in the 1500s confused the (probably) angel-shark with the monachus maris.

Um, Actually acronyms create a word when abbreviated, like SCUBA, YOLO, ABBA, WALL-E, AIDS or POTUS. Besides OOM, those acronyms were actually initalisms, for which the letters are read out, like FBI, CIA, ADHD, HIV or NFL.

[@jerodast]

Um actually almost nobody says OOM as a word, but they do say "dot" for DoT.

small Um, actually for the Hank and Dean thing, everything was right, BUT you didn't mention how Dr. Venture actually prepared several dozen clones of his sons pretty much as soon as they were born, and they wait in vats in the basement to have the previous Hank and Dean's memories uploaded into their brains so they can wake up in their beds should they die. There IS a difference in that this acknowledges the problem with cloning, that being shortened telomeres causing premature aging. Rusty made sure to prepare as many clones as he could when they were as young as possible so he wouldn't have to worry about making clones of clones.

[@JessicaHartmann]

Um Actually, the Venture Brothers are not technically 16 at that point because of how the cloning works. Hank and Dean are actually like 19 according to their original birthdays, but it's a point of contention in universe as their dad even talks about how they grow up so fast if you let them...

Um actually, in Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood they discover that human transmutation isn’t actually possible, since the things they “brought back” didn’t contain the soul of their loved ones. So it’s both the ultimate taboo and not technically possible according to the show.

[@JustaSoothingVoice]

Um actually, human transmutation per say is indeed possible, whether you transmute a already living human being (as Pride forced Mustang to do) or you provide a soul and both energy and material components enough to transmute a whole other living creature (humanish) as the boys did in the begging, you could even say that the homunculus (artificially created humans per definition) are results of successfully performed human transmutation. What is impossible is to bring back a passed away soul back to life. Also, [BIG SPOILER ALERT] the last transmutation performed by the FullMetal Alchemist is in fact a successful Human Transmutation.

[@cornbeandemon]

i literally was about to say the exact same thing

[@electras2716]

Technically soul and body transmutation are possible if the subject is alive, Al's body and soul are removed and put back together. you just can't access the souls of the dead

[@bradleynugent4991]

human transmutation doesn't have to be bringing someone back from the dead, Dr Tucker used transmutation on both his wife and daughter

[@alexandercannaerts5433]

Human transmutation (creating life or bringing it back) is not possible due to the equivalent exchange law. FMA is a very philosophical story, and it questions , among many thing, wheter life is more then the correct composition of chemicals. And the answer is no. Because a soul is something you can not make or form or exchange. It is priceless. During the transmutation of the brother's mother they experience a rebound by the reaction that desperatly tries to solve itself, forcing them past the gates of knowledge and exchanging parts of their body for knowledge. SPOILER ALLERT At the end, Ed manages to use the law of equivalent exchange to reverse to progress. Exchanging the knowledge he and his brother gained to get their bodies back. The opposite (and equal) of how they lost their bodies.

[@DemonicBolt66]

Um, Actually, Zarathos isn't a demon according to the full lore and history. Zarathos is actually an Arch Angel that was beaten by a demon (in some, the Devil himself. In others, the Devil simply got ownership after) and is now used as a contract that can be tied to a human soul. This only becomes known much later, but is confirmed to have been the truth all along, with Zarathos' immense power being suppressed thanks to the contract, as well as preventing him from revealing all of this information to anyone, even his hosts

[@robertdeelen6685]

Um Actually, Zarathos in the comics IS a demon (a former rival of mephistos) and also NOT a spirit of vangeance, but he follows the same technical rules, although he was an angel in the movies BUT most of the other ghost riders are divine beings called Spirits of Vangeance (like the one possessing his brother Danny Ketch)

13:04 While it is correct to say that Flowey is Asriel, technically Flowey is not TRULY Asriel without a soul, in the sense that if Asriel's soul was removed he would not necessarily become Flowey. Asriel died on the golden flower bed that the flower that is Flowey was a part of, and his dust was scattered across them. Flowey was later injected with Determination as an experiment from Alphys (I'm pretty sure, it's been a while since I've read the text in True Lab) and gained life, taking on parts of Asriel.

Which is the source of Johnny and Danny's Ghost Rider Power. Zarathos WAS put into Johnny by mephisto, in an attempt to control the potential danger to him that Johnny's Innate Spirit of Vengeance could present to him. This went badly, as Zarathos struggled for control, and eventually was Removed.

[@treyslider6954]

Um, Actually the series later establishes the violation of the law of conservation of mass as well: several characters use philosopher's stones (or false versions thereof) to produce mass from energy, as the stone is basically concentrated soul (which is established by Ed's monologue about the recipe of a human to not be a physical matter-based component of a human). Therefore the massless souls are being converted into mass by the alchemical transmutation. The most obvious use of this is when various homunculi use alchemy to regenerate wounds, even replacing whole limbs without any source matter.

I don't expect a point for this at all, as it is pedantic beyond reason; but I had to get it out. ^-^

Um Actually, sea monks are not depicted with Bishop's hats, those are slightly different creatures, sea Bishops, or the Bishop-fish

[@briankenney9528]

I always enjoy when final fantasy tactics is brought up

[@guillermodiaz7699]

I know this is late but since I don't see it in the comments I'm just gonna point out that Umm actually the protagonist of FFXIII is nicknamed lightning but her real name is Claire Farron so technically david was correct

[@irony_man7728]

um actually, Dr. Horrible's freeze way, though he sings about it stopping the world, is only able to freeze Captain Hammer when used in the climactic scene.

[@afairy]

Um Actually, in the Cthulhu Mythos the Great Old Ones are completely different from the Elder Things

[@ettinakitten5047]

True. Elder Things were just sentient, mortal beings with much better technology than humans who lived on Earth long before humanity evolved. They got wiped out by their own creations, the Shoggoths.

[@hawkshadow22]

Nothong like the shout when you fall asleep and drop your phone on your already sleeping spouses skull

[@theywalkinguptoyouand4060]

Um actually, the creature with a bishop's hat is not a sea monk, it's a sea bishop. Sea monks are representative of what rays look like if you see them from the underside

[@PhantomHarley]

I call shenanigans on the Twilight Zone answer. Dani pointed out a second technicality, but David got the actual answer they were looking for. Dani should only have gotten the point if no one could get closer.

[@shyfrog3731]

Dani got screwed over in that Acronym Bee - some people just don't LF a G!

[@fangthedergon1863]

Um actually to the correction about flowey the entity known as flowey isnt just Asriel Dremmur without a soul it is the product of experimentation by Alphys of injecting determination into the yellow flowers that grew outside Asriels home

[@BigSlimyBlob]

Remember when a villain named Sleez mind-controlled Superman and Big Barda into making pornography? Yeah, sometimes they really run out of ideas and come up with the most random bad guys...

[@calebscheidegger9461]

Um actually, the Elder Things are referenced in H.P. Lovecraft's At The Mountains of Madness and aren't ACTUALLY, by the mythos, "Great Old Ones", but rather a prehistoric race that engineered human evolution.

[@adamscammell1446]

Scoured the comments here in search of validation. Trapp equates the Elder Things to the god-like Lovecraftian entities such as Cthulu or Azathoth but in truth the elder things were a sentient race of mortal beings that lived on earth, predating humanity by millenia... Umm actually

[@PAINTnPONG]

I watch these just for fun like most, and I usually suck or just guess. I’m growing as a nerd maybe because I’m 6:35 in and I’m 4/4 with full confidence and even knew the details of three of them, I’m freaking out lol

[@budsbunny8038]

Great song dude. It gives me a feeling of melencholic hope.

[@dannybob42]

Um Actually, Tao didn't say Um Actually in the first question, he said Err Actually Um Actually, the law of Natural Providence doesn't count for FMA either, you can be as intricate as you like on an atomic scale so long as you have the knowhow, that's how philosopher's stones can be made, Ed even remodeled a car - it's really just Conservation of Mass. In addition Human Transmutation is only taboo in attempting to revive the dead, Bio-alchemy still exists as a legal form of Human Transmutation.

[@PsychoKilll42]

Human transmutation is still very much taboo, as proven by Tucker

[@dannybob42]

@@PsychoKilll42 they kept his on public payroll until the truth of how he did it came out, meaning to some extent there was a level of alchemical study into manipulating organic life that was funded out in the open rather than through the shady underbelly of Amestris' corruption. Alkahestry too - an alternative practice to Alchemy - can be used medicinally, meaning it is a low level form of human transmutation

[@MotiviqueStudio]

"Diana Prince. That was like a pop star..." Yeah. "Like" a popstar. Nice save.

[@Samael1113]

Short one first - Umm, Actually... SVU is rarely about murder, that is the other L&O series. SVU is usually about Sexual Assault and Torture and things of that nature. Danny's going to bed to some freaky stuff. Umm Actually, and I think I said this on the first upload a few years ago, Conan absolutely takes place within the Cthulhu Mythos. The Yog-Sothoth Mythos the Lovecraft created (what he preferred to call it IIRC - Yog-Sothothery), was designed to be open source and anyone who wanted to contribute to and borrow from was welcome to, and in the expanded Mythos includes a shit-load of authors and stories and movies and games. Howard and Lovecraft also exchanged multiple letters on this subject. August Derleth, another friend and contributor to Lovecraft's universe, also compiled one of the most comprehensive lores that incorporated many of these works. Derleth's compilation is what became known as the Cthulhu Mythos, and 100% includes Howard's Conan and Hyborian Age (considered the lost age of man). Originally the stories weren't meant to be in the same universe, more a multiple universes thing, connected by aspects of theme and lore, where only one world-ending event occurred within a generation. As opposed to the Derleth version where Nyarlathotep creating chaos, at the same time as Cthulhu waking up, at the same time as Azathoth trying to consume the universe, at the same time as The King in Yellow is driving everyone insane, at the same time as interdimensional vortex controlling witch is sending hounds of tindalos in to the world at the same time as... you get the idea. There is only so much celestial calamity that a single planet can take.

[@thewanderingmistnull2451]

Um, actually, the reason Derleth's version isn't generally accepted is that he tried to label Lovecraft's monsters on a good/evil scale, compared to the utterly alien beings they were supposed to be.

[@skarnflaxender0]

Um actually the Freeze Ray in Dr Horrible doesn't stop time, it freezes time

[@dmanshouse1]

Ok now I need artwork of Conan the Pre-Civilized

[@TimpossibleOne]

The Venture Brothers were designed to look like the original Peter Parker and Fred from Scooby-Doo

[@cbpd89]

There really is some psychological phenomenon where younger siblings identify with and prefer Luigi.

[@TheMrSnicklefritz]

Um Actually, this episode is a Re-Run

[@anotherperson2627]

Um actually, the Elder things and Great Old ones are different groups. The Elder Things were the first aliens to colonize Earth and the Great Old ones are beings like Cthulhu and Hastur.

[@olivia-lo9oi]

Um, Actually Star Sapphire, which was said to be another name for Wonder Woman, is actually Green Lantern villain. She is the queen of an immortal race of women and gets her powers from a crystal similar to an actual star sapphire.

[@ranreiff2717]

Um, actually, while the question has weird phrasing, Wonder Woman has been *a* Star Sapphire at points, same as *a* Yellow Lantern

[@jacobbinns3644]

“He’s dangerously good”

[@SiculusTheEpithet]

I think "BFG to BFG9000" is now be my favorite intro

[@SiculusTheEpithet]

Also the Puzzler looks weirdly like Jonas Venture

[@bradleynugent4991]

um actually, an acronym is formed by the first letter of a series of words *and pronounced as a word* the examples in the show were initialisms not acronyms

[@osgoodbad]

The puzzler is a villain because he never moves that back row of checkers.

[@specimin5679]

Um Actually, in some games, DPS stands for Damage Per Screenshot

[@Ya_Man_Bean]

Um actually it’s the law of equivalent exchange

[@travisshumway289]

Um actually the great old ones and the elder gods are two separate groups of entities. The great old ones are your standard eldritch abominations like Cthulhu whereas the elder gods are the former lords of the great old ones and as the name implies actual gods worshiped in different religions or ancient cultures like Amaterasu or Hypnos.
