Very cool you put the toll house cookie on the list. I live five minutes from where that was. The sign is still there but when the place burned to the ground, they put housing on its site. I'm 64 and remember going there with my family.

[@verynearlyinteresting]

Wow!!!! Thanks so much for commenting Brian. Tez

Hello. I’m curious did you get free cookies due to you being a cute kid?

[@karenroot450]

Tez thanks so much for this Woman based episode!! Great to hear. I do hope you have been well? I am thanks! I love your enthusiasm and attitude and of course your beautiful accent! Have a fantastic day. The weather looks wonderful over there!

Hi Karen, thank you as always for your lovely comment 😊. Yes it was shot over two days where it was really lovely weather … not always ideal for filming as the sun can distort the picture 🙄, still I’m not complaining. Thank you again Karen, Tez

I would be willing to bet that some unnamed woman invented the "three stone fire". This is where you get three rock of just the right size and arrange them in a triangle so a pot will sit on them and then make a fire in the gap between them. Many of the meals of the world have been cooked that way.

Computers - Ada Lovelace, dishwasher- Josephine Cochrane, disposable nappy - Valerie Hunter Gordon, discovery of the first plesiosaur - Mary Anning, pulsar - Jocelyn Bell Burnell. There are loads of them, despite women not being allowed to go to university or join academic organisations. Sadly, many had their research and ideas stolen by men and got no recognition.

Maria Salomea Skłodowska-Curie was a physicist, and her husband Pierre Curie received the Nobel Prize with no mention of his wife for the same reason Margaret Wilcox and the others had trouble in the 1800s. Aside from the afore mentioned I loved this video and give you a 20 for this content. Next, we need a video on Nikola Tesla culminating in everything in his apartment being seized by the US upon his death due to fear, just an idea. Great Video, Jersey Bill

[@verynearlyinteresting]

@@JerseyBill-x9r Thanks Jersey Bill and great point about Marie Curie … I did consider including her. I will research Tesla’s death … thanks for the tip! Tez

[@karenroot450]

Hello. This would be an epic story Tez please cover him. Thanks

[@fredbloggs8072]

@@verynearlyinteresting I assumed you'd left the great Marie Curie off the list because she discovered rather than invented. More a scientist than an inventor.

[@crustycurmudgeon2182]

No surprise that YOU -- FINALLY-- GAVE WOMEN THEIR DUE! I'd previously read of Heddy Lamar's idea/invention, and there were several other women during WWII who conceived of ingenious means to do things for the war effort. The circular saw was invented by a woman-- just genius! The list goes on... Really gives meat to the quip "Behind every great man is a strong woman"-- and possibly that man's muse. Brilliant episode, thanks!

Trolley Cars are not Trolleybuses. Trolleybuses are powered by electricity drawn from an overhead wire like trams, but don't run on rails. 'Tolley car' is an Americanism for a tram. There is a trolleybus museum near Doncaster, to which i highly recommend a visit, if you can catch them when they are open!

Another achievement by Hedy Lamarr is that she is supposed to be the first actress to show herself completely naked in a non pornographic film. It occurred in the Czech film "Ecstasy" in 1933.

[@verynearlyinteresting]

@@LapsangTe 😮 Well I didn’t know that!!

[@QTGetomov]

There was an Australian swimmer, Annette Kellerman, who beat her to being the first nude in a mainstream movie (Daughter of the Gods, 1916, which was also the first ever million dollar movie!), but Hedy was the first to perform fully nude in a film with sound, plus an on-screen orgasm, which was indeed in Ecstasy! (Edit, I just checked, and apparently Daughter of the Gods is a lost movie with only fragments remaining.)

[@LapsangTe]

@@QTGetomov I think she was only seen from the side and from the behind. I don't think there was any full frontal nudity, which was the case with Hedy Lamarr.

For me, stand-out inventions by women include, but aren't limited to: The net for goalposts That thingy that you get in the middle of your pizza when it's being delivered in a box The dishwasher (THANK YOU!!!) and CCTV

[@timefoolery]

In Canada, that bag making machine is back in business. We can only get paper bags now if we don’t bring our own. Btw, you missed Lord Byron’s daughter, Ada Lovelace, who helped with the invention of early computers in the 19th Century. Mary Anderson’s case, I think the car makers deliberately waited out her patent before using her invention so they didn’t have to pay her millions. She should’ve manufactured them with an installation kit so car owners could upgrade on their own without having to deal with the big men with supposedly all the ideas.

[@beverlyhitchon4901]

Tez, this was such a brilliant episode, so much I never knew! Thanks for putting the power into girl power and recognising these wonderful women. I did get the impression there was a bit of a love fest going on with you regarding Heddy Lamar? 😉 Brilliant hope you do another one. Ps, got my family good style with the "calling all rabbits"! 😂 they were not smused! 🤣🤣🤣❤

[@verynearlyinteresting]

Hi Beverly! Thanks so much for your lovely comment and yes maybe I am a bit of a Hedy Lamarr fan 🤣. I absolutely LOVE the fact that you tried out the ‘calling all bunnies’ gag on your family, that’s really made my day 🥹. Thank you again Beverly, Tez 😊

[@fredbloggs8072]

Hedy Lamarr must surely be the best-looking genius ever.

[@kensmith5694]

Sadly we may never know of the other ones who may have become as famous but for a system designed to ignore them. We have no doubt lost on a lot of ideas.

[@brianjaber3171]

@@verynearlyinteresting we would love to have you. The last time I was in London was in 1973. It was a high school field trip for seniors (now I’m the other kind of senior, Ha! Ha!). Anyway my mom was thrilled I was going because she was from London and although she went home to visit family every couple of years it was hard to take us five kids along so she just went alone most of the time. When my father could he would travel with her. My father, from Syria moved with his family to the US in 1928. During the war he flew B-17’s in Europe where he met my mom while between missions. Although she was born in central London, her family Was forced to move to Hammersmith because of bombing in their area making it untenable. When I was a youngster how I loved listening to her talk about England in the “olden days”. A term my grandchildren often use with me nowadays. Oh the memories in part is why I love watching you and heating you talk about such interesting things, well very nearly interesting - Thanks again for your hard work my friend and Tez you’re always welcome in Hawaii.

[@gladitsnotme]

Could've included a single sentence at the start explaining WHY it's all men on the list. "If women had the same rights and opportunities as men throughout history, I'm sure they would have invented many of the 214 things on that list, but women weren't considered worthy of human rights until about the 1970s."

@@verynearlyinteresting Yes, it is better to say the Edison invented the electric lighting system. He took the ability to generate electrical power, the idea of a light bulb combined them and improved the light bulb. He gave us a safe(ish) non-flickering light as a thing we could buy.

[@kensmith5694]

@@diegomontoya796 It turns out that a standard lightbulb design would run longer on AC than on DC. They did make some special ones for DC. The reason is that when the filament is red hot it boils off some atoms from its surface as positive ions (atom missing one electron). At the positive end of the filament, the ion would see the negative charge at the negative end and be attracted over there. At the negative end, the ion might just drift back onto the surface of the metal. This resulted in the positive end getting to be thinner than the negative end over time. The positive end would be hotter (Ohms law and all that) so it was under more stress and that area of the filament would snap. Some factories had a great big switch so that they could power the lighting in the normal direction or the leads reversed. The direction would be switched from one day to the next.

I question how many of those inventions by men were either thought up by women or even designed by women.

[@verynearlyinteresting]

Good point Nancy. That definitely crossed my mind too! Tez

[@fredbloggs8072]

Quite a few no doubt. Ada Lovelace probably had as much to do with the invention of the computer as her good friend Charles Babbage, yet that Wiki list doesn't even mention her.

[@crazylikeallama9793]

I was delighted you included a bag inventor....I think the bag was one of the most important inventions ever. In bags made from leather, water was first boiled with hot stones placed into it...cooking soon followed. The bag enabled hands to be free to gather food and carry a baby simultaneously. Bags uses are endless...think about it.....and whilst I can't prove it, I bet it was a woman who came up with it 😉
