What Makes a Home...A Home? | SciShow Compilation

[@Cliffdog01]

In New Zealand, the legal definition of a City is 30,000. Which I know is tiny to most people, but we have a tiny population. There are census budgeting implications for whether a place is a city or not. I lived near a place called Masterton, which has always been right at the line between Large Town and City. It was considered a big deal when it crossed 20,000, the previous standard, but when they did, the metric was lifted to the current standard, and everyone there will tell you they increased the standard just so Masterton would continue to be excluded.

[@domomitsune5920]

A place where you fill your most comfortable. And for a cat that usually means under a bed, and a closet, or in a box. Any kind of confined space basically. Assuming that your cat doesn't like sleeping on top of your kitchen cabinets. But usually home is where the heart is, and where you keep your stuff.

[@silver3660]

Home is where your heart is.

[@domomitsune5920]

I would say home is where you feel most comfortable and keep your stuff, but let's face it there are many places that you normally wouldn't call home like the space station, a ship, etc. So I would basically say home is where you keep your stuff, and were you feel you can come back to.

[@bdidbwvolume2.230]

As someone who lived on a ship in port for almost 8 months, I can confirm it feels similar to when I used to be homeless. Even when I was in my apartment sleeping on the floor with no furniture, it felt more at home than the ship

From a section of a High school Geography textbook missing the front section does have this definition of various groups. From some other references in the book, it appears to have been written sometime in the 1930's. It gives no source for these definitions. Homestead -- one or more isolated buildings with single family with 10 or more members. Settlement -- A group of buildings with 15 to 50 people of three or more families. Village -- Group of buildings with several families and a population between 30 and 250 people with some type of governing structure. Town -- a collection of residences and businesses with a population between 200 and 2500 people and a governing structure. City -- A town with a population between 2500 and one million people. Metropolis -- a city with a population between one million and 10 million people. Megalopolis -- a city with a population over 10 million people.

I grew up in a tiny village in north of NJ called New York City. But I went to a law school in the major metropolis that is the City of Lexington, VA. Lexington has a total population of 5,000 people (presumably excluding Washington & Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute). But I also worked for a time in the Town of Colonie, NY that was larger than certain counties I've been in. Of course, most counties contain multiple towns, cities, and/or villages. LA County comes to mind. But New York City has 5 counties within its borders. But those counties are usually referred to as "boroughs." Manhattan is officially New York County, while Queens County and Bronx County are self explanatory. Richmond County is also known as Staten Island, while Kings County is also known as Brooklyn.

at 2:29 the Hubble Space Telescope's primary mirror had a perfect curve but it was perfect against a test jig that had a washer out of sequence, not perfect against the perfectly curved secondary mirror. The program was over budget so they were not tested as a system. Once that mistake was discovered a corrective lens could be fabricated and put in the light stream.

On cities: In the UK there are specific rules on what you can call areas of habitation. Doesn't matter what the population is though. We have officially designated Towns that have more people in them than Officially designated cities. The more difficult definition is between Villages and Towns here.

[@cassieoz1702]

It used to be that you needed to have a cathedral to be called a city (often the 'capital' of a county or shire). A town was governed by a council and a village was just everything smaller

The plant one is common sense. It's all in the mood of the room and environment. Adding plants to a barren sterile colored room gives a sense of life to the room. The typical areas are stressful because the sights and smells are bleak and drab. It's why montessouri schools have added more natural colors to their schools and utilize color theory. Our surroundings affect us cognitively. The plants act as a source of familiarity in an otherwise heartless environment. An empty white room without plants is a solitary confinement cell. A white room with plants is a nursery. It changes the context of the room

Re the plant studies: A living plant versus an empty planter is guaranteed to cause stress in a many people who have issues with the incomplete planter. That's not a neutral comparison. Should be no planter at all to be unbiased.

[@sircharlesmormont9300]

I absolutely was going to guess the lizard, but the pavement thing didn't ring true. San Juan is one of the oldest cities in the U.S., so I thought that IF an animal was going to adapt to city life, it would make sense for it to be in such an old city. That said, the "pavement" in Old San Juan is still mostly comprised of cobblestones. In the oldest parts of the city, the roads are largely not comprised of the baking hot blacktop that burns your feet. Still surprised that pizza rat won, though.

so ancient Greeks considered a polis (city) as anything having 10 to 30 k citizens. But none citizens tended to have a ten to one ration with citizens. So 100k to 300k people. First time I heard the term metropolis applied to Ancient Rome was when it got a million People living in it.

Wrong title: "Can we live in space" is only tangentially about defining home. The whole section on plants had almost no reference to "home" and in no way answered the question "what is a home" The section on "smart" home may have answered the question "what do you need to have a smart home" but not "what is a home" Then you tried to answer the question, "what is a city" and "how did cities affect animals"; again, not "what is a home"

I believe that recent studies have shown that this is not the case, plants have a negligible impact on oxygen levels. To produce a statistically significant change you would need to fill the entire space with plant matter, and there would be no room for furniture etc.

[@lark613]

they've made a Scishow answering that question as well! I think the most relevant study showed that you need hundreds of plants to notice improvement in air quality.
