  • Hi my name is Jake, and I love my dog.

  • His name is fajita, he's a real treat

  • He's still a puppy

  • He's a labradoodle, which you get by mixing a labrador and a poodle.

  • And although sometimes dog breeding can go horribly wrong, the system of genetics that

  • causes these breeds to exist is the same as the one that created all the diversity of

  • creatures on the planet.

  • You can see this in Inner Animals.

  • This site has been shown previously on dong, but it's a beautiful example of how the

  • things we take for granted are caused by very specific needs of our ancient ancestors.

  • Things are changing every day, and we're going to look at things that are changing

  • with some dongs, things that you can do online now guys.

  • Þá Déor awendan end Þá giedd awendan.

  • You probably can't understand that (and my grammar

  • probably wasn't great), but that was technically english.

  • Old english, but technically a direct ancestor to modern english.

  • You can use the old english translator to see what the old versions of words would have

  • been.

  • Also check out the language evolution tree to see how language evolved from the various

  • theoretical languages, like indo-european and afro-asiatic, through to the modern languages

  • we know and love today.

  • Look at this.

  • This is money. (cha-ching)

  • You've probably seen this before.

  • But it hasn't always looked like this.

  • The first paper money showed up in china in the 700s but it didn't make its way into Europe

  • until the 1400s in Italy where it really took off.

  • The first US $1 bill was introduced in 1862, and it looked like this!

  • You can use the slider on all the bills on this website to see what they looked like

  • when they were first introduced and compare them to how they look now.

  • Fun fact: dollar bills, also known as Bank notes, were, until 1933, just representations

  • of an equal value of gold or silver.

  • At the time coins, which were usually pressed forms of these materials, were thereal

  • money, and bank notes were just a receipt saying they held that much of your gold.

  • Another fun fact: the $5 was created a few years before the $1 bill, because there were

  • already coins with that denomination.

  • Also the new $100 the new US one. Jack thinks it looks great.

  • I mean it does look nice. I think the australian dollar is pretty cool cause it can be used as

  • a needle for vinyl records, check out this vid

  • neat

  • Jack is editing this video on a computer machine, which is a pretty rad piece of technology, but it's

  • also super quiet.

  • Most of the gadgets we use today make almost no sound, but that wasn't always true.

  • This stuff used to be LOUD, and you can listen to a lot of old tech sounds at conserve the

  • sound dot DEH.

  • There's a bunch of old machines with the sounds they made, like a vhs player, a nintendo

  • entertainment system, and old phones.

  • There are a bunch of videos on youtube that use old floppy drive disk readers to make

  • music.

  • You can check out some more of them in the description.

  • Check out this globe.

  • We've all got a pretty good idea of how the world looks right?

  • Well you probably already know this, but it didn't always look this way, because of

  • Tectonic Plates.

  • These plates are basically giant islands floating on the earth's liquid insides.

  • These islands slide around, and when they run into each other, they're the cause of

  • earthquakes and mountain ranges and all sorts of rocky madness.

  • This simulation of plate tectonics is super cool, and you can watch a million years go

  • by each second.

  • That's the really crazy thing about these plates moving around, it can take an incredibly

  • long time for their affects to be noticable.

  • Well it's getting late.

  • Or is it?

  • Another thing that changed a couple of weeks ago is what time it is.

  • This article shows where daylight savings time affects you the most.

  • You can see the amount of daylight in each part of the US, and how much that would change

  • if we abolished daylight savings versus changed the time permanently.

  • Either way it's almost (looks at wrist) 1 am, which means it's my bed time.

  • Before I go, all the dongs are down there and there's even more dongs up here.

  • So go be the change in your world, bucko.

  • Good night, good luck and here Hannah you can have this dollar

  • and as always give Hannah money so she stops beating me

  • I thought you were actually going to hit me that's how scared I am

  • andasalwaysthanksforwatching

  • Oh hello again. The video's not actually over

  • also I changed my shirt and got a haircut and shaved

  • but, we were talking about tectonic plates

  • and it got me thinking about something that actually comes in the latest curiosity box.

  • Curiosity Box X

  • If you don't know what the curiosity box is, this a quarterly science and curiosity filled subscription box

  • that Michael Kevin and I make. We spend a lot of time with it and we design

  • basically all the products that aren't the book or the video game that come in it.

  • spoilers. But it's something we really really care about.

  • there's a link down there if you want to get your own.

  • We love this box. Again we make everything, and also a portion of the proceeds goes to

  • Alzheimers research. We've done by now close to $120,000 worth of donations because of this box

  • and your support with it

  • Anyway, techtonic plates! I want to show you one thing that comes in this box.

  • I really love this. Something we designed. Called Earth's Layers Gift Wrap.

  • So we have the crust, we have the upper mantle. We have the lower mantle.

  • We have the outer core. And then there is the Core.

  • So it's pretty darn cool and if you were to wrap all your presents with this wrapping paper.

  • And stack them in the proper order you'd have a really nice cross section of Earth.

  • So that's pretty dang neat. Anyway, curiositybox.com. You can check it out down there.

  • It's a great way to support your brains, and other peoples brains through Alzheimers research.

  • Alright I love you and as always, thanks for watching.

Hi my name is Jake, and I love my dog.
