Bro when I was in Rome I bought one of those squishy ball things, it was a pig. Turns out they only basically work on the piece of wood they have for the demonstration

[@MaximusOverhead]

Holyshit, I was just in Paris and the stupid bracelet guys were there as well. They pissed me off so much, they tried to strong-arm me into opening my wallet. And they grabbed my sister's wrist that just threw me over the edge.

"In the last 100 years" 100 years in human evolution and advancements is really nothing when you think about it, our technological advances in the last 100 years are absolutely mind blowing when you think that electricity hasn't even been around as a tool more than ~200 years

[@VideoSage]

While so much that has to go right, for life like us to exist, one must not forget, that other, vastly different life may evolve under different situations.

[@Tsakeli]

I mean... Lewis has a point that it's kind of sad that ancient public toilets were amazing and comfortable and generally clean and... well, modern toilets.......... yeah.

[@sulanoji]

Lewis thinks himself a niche game connoisseur but hes actually a game goblin ;) hahaha

[@douwis125]

FACT CHECK: Kevin Keegan isn't Scouse, he's from Doncaster... he's one of our few famous people so I needed to correct.

[@brainflash1]

Is he married to Duke of Beaufort?

[@doemsdagding]

the uk is definitly not the safest have you ever tried to cycle in the uk its a hell, as a dutch person having lived in england for work going cycling to work everyday in england is still one of the most dangerous things i ever did. the roads are horribly inconsistently paved and cyclists are send from the left to the right side of the road constantly thus having the cross through all the traffic.

[@pillage8662]

We just went to italy for a class trip from my high school, when we went to the Colosseum the tour guide kept saying that the guys selling water work for the mafia. . .

[@jonson1474]

btw yes, Italy is definitely economically fucked, it has been for about 20 years now, and it gets worse every year surprisingly enough. And yes, Italians are probably not the best at running stuff efficiently lol

[@rskeen500]

The boys have been laying into Sheffield lately.

[@vincenthunter1615]

Ross Keen Even funnier when Sheffield for basically the past few decades has been a uni town that’s been fairly heavily gentrified and is often seen as a ‘bristol of the north’.

[@jameswood805]

I know right I live in sheff and it’s really nice for the most part it’s just your usual southerners thinking the north’s shit just because it’s northern

[@a_e_hilton]

Rome's tourist attractions are much nicer in the winter. The ticketing and lines for the Colosseum were so short and cheap that not a single tour guy snagged a tourist the day we were there, and we could just walk in to Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum

yup that was a good one^^ Pyrion is still the first one to question lewises sanity -.- but this episode was good :)

[@synchc]

14:41 "what was his name?". lol

[@GamaGamer1]

If there is one thing that i most resonated to during this episode, it was agreeing with how annoying the Bangladeshi squishy merchants were.

[@TerraZetzz]

Pyrion, those UFO sightings by Navy/Air Force pilots were released by the Pentagon.

[@arthurs3691]

I just spent a week in Tenerife, an island off the coast of Africa. We had a ton of black people offering us watches and sunglasses, and whenever we rejected them they offered us drugs instead. We got offered weed, cocaine and ketamine.

[@liamvt2]

So lewis talks about the car safety hedgehog thing. In the netherlands we had an armadillo at some point, which if you translate it literally from our language means seatbeltanimal. Does he mean the same thing? Like a little plushy you got if you get checked and you're wearing your seatbelt? Because damn that marketing does not translate well xD.

[@aidanscovers]

Man Lewis was in the same country as me and I missed it. Italy has some great works of art and culture but living here without knowing the language gets old.

[@slinky6481]

I recently spent a few months teaching English in Italy, and I can agree! Though I enjoyed learning what little Italian I did, and using it as much as I could.

On the topic of alien life, the is a point to be made that even if other life can exist in the universe, it doesnt mean that it will exist at the same time as us, humans have been around for a fraction of the time life has existed on earth, which is a fraction of the age of the universe itself, so they may have died out long before we can to be, IIRC there is a Kurzgesagt video on it, Great podcast as always lads

I almost feel you could have a better Venice experience without the crowds or the stinky polluted water and...without the Earth, by watching the anime franchise "Aria" (Aria the Animation, Aria the Natural, Aria the Origination) which is about a recreation of Venice on a terraformed Mars. Not only is it a heartwarming story of young girls training to be gondoliers and learning about life, but the creators of the show researched in Venice and treated the city in their anime with loving detail and genuine affection. Alternately, just watch a Rick Steves tour video about Venice, his stuff is superb.

[@GretchenDawntreader]

much like a travel show about Las Vegas is better than any visit to actual Las Vegas, I've been there, it's disgusting.

[@GretchenDawntreader]

I went to New Orleans during the off-season, and enjoyed it a lot. I would never go during Mardi Gras.

[@NotaroName]

The reason the statues are missing heads and noses is because they were all stolen and are now in museum and private collections.

[@Jokie155]

English man complains about statues missing pieces stolen by the English Government and museums. And I specify English because the Scots, Welsh and Irish are just as much victims of Tory imperialist scum.

Wtf one of the science teachers in my school plays outerwilds she was on about it earlier today. Basically we knew she played video games because she said she plays Fortnite with her daughter and me and my friends saw her and were like “miss do u still play Fortnite?” She said yea and then she said she’s playing this new RPG called outerwilds and she’s finding it very difficult. I reckon pyrion you should coach her to get good at it

NY times a legit publication HAHAHAHA omg my sides... oh man...

[@markhackett2302]

The fine tuning for life is a lot less fine tuned than you think. Firstly, life appears in far more places than we thought it could ever appear on earth. That means the limits for life on earth is larger. Second, it only proposes the forms of life we know. Which is from a sample size of one. Third, the actual limits themselves keep turning out to be larger than we thought at first. The problem for aliens here is that speed of light limit. It limits how many planets could have had time to arrive here since, say, the first radio broadcast, the first time any aline would have even noticed this planet.

[@MrEaking]

but wouldn't it be awesome if after you die you wake up and its only been like 5-10 min of your real life but you have been able to experience an entire life in that 5-10 min period.

[@MrEaking]

as a game developer i'm 100% sure we could create the entire universe given enough time and more so technical capability processing power, memory etc... though with knowing that we could technically make a simulation of our own universe so we would know what happens in the future since it couldn't be changed since the starting variables are what set everything in motion.

[@DoktorDevious]

[@lordthruxawe504]

@@kevinohiggins3868 what I've learned is that most people don't like nuance. It's easier for the human mind to think there's a single problem and solution, but in reality the contemporary world is complicated beyond human comprehension. Lots of factors effect worldwide outcomes, but most people choose a single target, presumably to perpetuate their chosen ideology.

life happened here on Earth, I think I rebell against the idea that we are the only time it EVER happened. That's too religious/special to me, that we are unique. Now I think I'm also happy not to meet alien cultures because they'd (IMO) be as likely to destroy the Earth Galactus-style for resources not even noticing or caring we were here, or eat or enslave us, or just be a wildly destructive force deliberately or accidentally. I feel even less likely that we are the only sentient planet is that if we met others, that they'd be happy to see us and sit down and work out how to make things better. We can't even do that amongst ourselves.
