"Why Noah built ark in 40 days?" And Other Stupid Questions

[@aazhie]

I worked at a coroner's office. We had no paranormal activity & it was one of the LEAST creepy places I ever worked. Pretty mellow, just a bit sad and sobering.

[@darlalathan6143]

Well, that's comforting!

[@operationgoldfish8331]

@@darlalathan6143 However, working as a nurse, where people actually die, I can confirm that there is a lot of supernatural activity in hospitals. My most convincing example was one night, when I was doing regular infusion pump checks, the pump stand very helpfully rolled several inches towards me without any apparent means of propulsion. I worked in a 300 year old hospital in Bristol and virtually every ward had a ghost story attached to it, from doors snapping shut and refusing to open to the partial floating torso of a Victorian nurse and a female 'visitor' with long black hair and no face. I guess they mostly don't hang around long enough to get to the funeral parlour.

The confusion about astronauts being left behind stems from not understanding that there was a CAMERA left behind that filmed the takeoff of the moon lander. The tripod had a little motor that tilted the camera so it could follow the lander going up. No human was left behind. I can think of a few humans that I wish NASA would fly to the moon and leave there.

For the Neil Armstrong photo question, I believe they were talking about the video of Niel descending the ladder for the "One small step for man..." quote. And the answer is simple, they had a camera on a mechanism ready to extend into position to capture the moment before they ever left Earth, since it was going to be such a historical event. You don't actually need someone holding the camera for a camera to function, even back in 1969.

[@Thorne-In-Your-Side]

The big thing about English accents that most don't tend to notice is that a lot of it comes down to tones and vowels. You can *tell* when someone's British based on how they pitch a phrase, before you even hear their rhotic. And there are really specific vowel placements in an American English accent that are different for each location, and none of them are quite the same as the vowels used in Received Pronunciation English from the UK. As for your question about "he'll" and "she'll" and so on, no one I know says it as "hull" or "shull". We say it more like "Hill" and "Shill." Though, certain American accents *do* use the schwa. In those cases, if that's what you're trying to emulate, you need to be extra careful to say the vowel as quickly as possible so that you don't overemphasize it and make it sound clunky. You might start picturing it as [h'll] or [sh'll], since most english speakers will put a schwa between two consonants in a consonant cluster (because i hate english speakers and our language deserves to go extinct).

[@timlong4791]

Cool to see this, cause I was about to write the same "hull" "shull" / "hill" "shill" comment.

[@landosllim4576]

English can be frustrating, but it does have a high informational efficiency

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

No, they're more like heel and a pretend word sheel, with a long e sound. They'll is more like veil. Try _"toPhonetics"_ for the sounds.

[@Thorne-In-Your-Side]

@MaryAnnNytowl Well, I appreciate it, but we're talking about vernacular and dialects. Dialects are different per area. There's no one way to pronounce anything in English and the myth of "proper" English is immature at the least. heel and sheel are just as valid as hill and shill. Hull and shull, as she's saying it, is only inaccurate because she's doing an impression of an accent that she isn't emulating perfectly.

Emma, dimension and vibration are equivilant when you get one so powerful you feel transported to another plane of existance, and the "past life regression therapist" is just a cover for toy saleperson.

I got to the “why did nasa leave astronauts on the moon” question right as I was trying to take meds… pills are not for inhaling

[@SubacaiDarkwing]

I love that this has returned. And was that a Shaun Of The Dead reference at 3:25 I heard? ETA: That is an absolutely beautiful necklace.

[@lanesumers5080]

Loved seeing you on axp. Oh, and those pronunciations might exist somewhere, but I've never heard them. In Tennessee, we tend to be lazy with pronunciation, but that's overboard.

It is my life's mission that when I die and become a ghost, I will come back and watch all of you in your most intimate moments. So watch out, everyone.

I worked several years in a cemetery in the evening. This was in the 1970s. Believe it or not, I was a computer operator. There were bodies on display in the neighboring ("neighbouring?") slumber rooms. That's what they really call them -- slumber rooms. Sometimes I would step outdoors into the dark and walk around a bit. Not once did I see or hear anything mysterious or puzzling. It was wonderfully peaceful at late at night. Also, unless you're really interested in learning American accents (there are many), such as you're an actor learning to play parts that depict Americans, then you needn't bother. I love British accents. I love yours. Yours is perfectly understandable. I have strong, rhotic "R" sounds wherever Rs appear in words. You don't. That's fine. I understand you perfectly.

I couldn’t stop laughing at the Portal reference. Was not expecting that in the context of a moon rover.

[@DaveLH]

Kudos to Emma for giving the Mars rover a voice like the Turrets in "Portal."

[@padders1068]

Emma! Brilliant and funny, thanks for sharing! ❤

[@louvendran7273]

The man NASA left behind = Man on the Moon. Love your channel, great work. 👊

[@Beaver1224]

This is a fun video. I enjoyed it immensely. And I was super-stoked to catch you on AXP.

[@bobiboulon]

2:26 Serious answer: the first images of the first astronaute to land his boots on the moon's surface for the first time were recorded by a camera mounted on the lunar module, specifically designed and added there to be able to perform this task of immortalizing this historical moment. This camera was remotly operated from inside the lunar module, I believe. Not to be mixed up with the camera used to film the departure form the moon, which was operated directly from Earth - which explains why for the Apollo 11 mission, the departure is badly filmed: the communication delay between Earth and Moon made it pretty difficult to center the camera on the ascending module. On later missions, they did a better job at giving orders to the camera just sufficiently in advance to have a better view of the module's take off. (/Nerd off)

[@agimasoschandir]

I do not think there is film of the astronauts departure prior to the use of the lunar rover (Apollo 15, 16, 17)

[@bobiboulon]

@@agimasoschandir Yeah, I may be wrong on the mission's number, indeed.

[@cool_water-H20]

That book in the back ground starts moving on it's own right before the answer to the moon question is finished. Haunting?

When the flood waters reached 29,000 feet (the summit of Mt. Everest, called "the death zone") all the passengers aboard the Ark froze to death or ran out of oxygen. No one survived. The alleged locations of the Ark may have contained a geological formation or timbers buried in a glacier but the dead passengers did not repopulate the earth. My condolences to creationists over their lost battle with the Laws of Nature.

[@ninjoshday]

Wait, then who wrote the book? 🤔

[@gamebook727]

That wouldn't actually happen. When the waters reached the top of Everest that would be the new sea level, so the air pressure and temperature would be fine. Remember that all the air would be pushed upwards along with the Ark. Ignoring of course all the other ways that dumping that much water onto the Earth would destroy it forever.

Is that a dragon quest slime plushie i see hiding on that top shelf? I love it.

[@atorng2172]

Holy forking shirt Quacky Cult leader! As a life long American (minus about a year in England several years ago), I have never thought about my own accent... ever. Best of luck in your endeavors!!!

[@Number1ZERO69]

I'm heading across the pond next month. Can't wait to see the UK! So I'm trying to get Emma's accent now.. Cheerio!! 🤣

[@crumbtember]

the funny little ghost animations are fun, more ghosts pls

Neil Armstrong taking his first step on the moon was photographed by cameras on the outside of the lunar landing module, which were remotely controlled by Buzz Aldrin.

[@skepticusmaximus184]

3:41 "Why use many word, when few word do trick" i mean LITERALLY LOL. I SPLIT MY FUCKING SIDES laughing at this. LOL doesn't do justice to how funny this is. 😂🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅

[@DistantVision85]

Thankyou so much for being who you are, and sharing your incredible personality and intellect with the world!! I can't believe I missed you on the Atheist Experience!!! Good thing it was likely recorded!!

[@richiegomez2769]

Thanks, Emma. Great job. Fun, fun, fun. PS. Your hair looks good.

[@ZyllasAthenaeum]

The relaxed forms, as you called them, are particular to a few rural, midwestern, and southern accents. They're not common elsewhere.

[@DanSlaughter85]

You were amazing on the atheist experience I got so excited at the surprise.

[@bigskypioneer1898]

RE: the end times calendar question.... i love those questions because to throw the questioner off all you have to do is ask them which calendar does god use? Gregorian or Julian? How do we know if the Chinese calendar isnt the right one? Or the Aztec one? Or the Muslim one?

[@BackToTheBlues]

Milton Jones said he found a baby ghost lying in the road once. Upon closer inspection it turned out to be someone's hankie.

[@Nevets1073]

I was so happy to see you on AXP!!!!

"come to the Winchester for a pint" oh I love you so, Emma!!!
