I am occasionally tasked with coming up with a fun fact at my job, usually as a way to kick off meetings, and want a reserve of good facts I can use. I started today with 6% of all the words you say, read, or write is "the." and it got some discussion going. Let me hear your favorite (SFW) fun facts you've learned from Vsauce so I can trick more of my peers into thinking I am well read.

There's been a few years since I've found Vsauce. I've watched a lot of videos and the other 2 Vsauce Channels. So I am searching for content like these channels(more like Vsauce). Any suggestions?

I recently rewatched some old vsauce videos and I just found them so much more enjoyable than the short form content. To me it just seems to zany. I get that it is a meme and all, but I feel that it has gotten old. I miss when Michael seemed like a super intelligent and interesting dude who just happened to be a bit eccentric rather than just being the weird science guy.

Anyone have one of these from the Curiosity Box that they would be willing to part ways with?

Does anyone remember which vsauce video or mind field episode had the actresses playing with babies using a mask, not knowing if they got the cute one or the ugly one?

I can not afford the Box Subscription (One month maybe) Is there anywhere I can get these Dice? Dice and Dominos are the way I learned to count and I also just really like dice. A whimsical yet Useful tool that shows the Hubris of art and science. I get they are rare but I had to ask.

lately I've been paying more attention to the songs Michael uses for his videos and I've noticed how good they genuinely are. I know they're made by Jake Chowdown and a few other people but I'm looking through the discography and I cannot find any of these songs. were they made for just Michael and is there a way to hear them fully without the speak of Michael? (I know he released a vinyl for all his music a while back would it be there?)

...there's so many posts about the abysmal quality throughout the last couple years, MEL Science being a rip off, and lots of very disappointed recipients. In addition to that, there's something strange going on with some of those posts – one of them said there are 11 comments, but none of them were visible (if they're deleted, it usually says that?).

Anyway. Has Michael commented on the many negative reviews? I'm a huge fan of VSauce and especially Michael, for more than 10 years, so I'm really curious about his take on this?

I chose the quarterly option, so I'm somewhat safe if my box really sucks, but I would be soo disappointed 😔

What's the latest on this?

I know he likes Neutral Milk Hotel because of the video where he finds the card with the origin of the In The Aeroplane Over The Sea album cover, but are there any other bands/artists that he likes?

In his short why did Yankee Doodle call this macaroni he said “or am I?” With his classic eyebrow raise and I feel like he hasn’t said that in a while, has it been a while?

Would you consider Vsauce to be a philosopher, as well as an educator? It popped up in my mind and now I am curious!!

Someone explain here about the Michael's what is consciousness video...

Well, I am getting bored reading these textbook they are not fun. They state thing and move on without giving me a single reason to care about. Is there some book, video, podcasts something that is near good as Vsauce video but full focus for school bio. I am in grad 10, Country - India, I have exam in 5 months after. I just not feeling motivated enough to study for exam. Is there any interesting book that automatically force me to read it like vsauce video curiousity in my mind. They are very entertaining also give me some type of reason to watch even though he is teaching stuff that are too complicated above my brain to understand but atleast try to use google to understand exactly what he means but not with my textbook is there any miraculous book for biology.

I know you guys have heard multiple questions about why he stopped uploading, but why did he delete his podcast on spotify? I listen to his podcast usually in bed, and when I tried to find him on my phone, I couldnt find him on spotify at all, only some fanmade ones. Idk if any other platforms also have him missing but I even checked on my pc to try to find it and I could'nt.

I recently rewatched The Future Of Reasoning and I loved it this time around because I finally understood a fundamental concept of the video: the best reasoning coming from the average of a group.

Commonly, I will ask myself, "what is the right way for me to live? What's the right way for society to live?" A lot of the time, the questions that stem from this consume me physically, mentally, socially...

One day though, somehow, while dealing with these silly personal, philosophical quandaries of my life, I came to one important conclusion among many others. That these questions I was asking myself about "the right way to live" mean nothing if I do not test them against the real world. It's as if I finally understood the main idea of philosophy as a science. Where other sciences need to be tested in a lab, ideas of logic and ethics and how to live need to be tested with other ideas and people through conversations.

That said, I think that this type of logic will be ever-important in coming decades, especially, as Michael himself said, it becomes easier to make small groups that fall into their own modes of thinking. Though this can be fun and even important to a limit, in order to create a personal, private community, if it is done in a way that rejects all outsiders, there could be negative implications for the general growth of our society and global community. Like civilizations before us that rose and then fell to obscurity. How great would it be if, again as Michael said, laws and governments and cultures and our whole society was created through the direction of not just an elite few, but the collective mind of every person and opinion on Earth?

What would the Earth look like, and wouldn't that be more exciting? Wouldn't that be a more full and fair and representative experience?

I come here to ask, where is a place I can find to have these conversations? To propose something like, "what is the best way to run a school system?", "what's the best way to live sustainably with technology?". I think the best option is online resources, since it's the place that can reach all over the world; however, I'm open to your ideas of ways to tackle this in person as well.

Thank you and let me know what you think.

You guys are probably tired of these questions but I have to ask sorry. I understand that it is extremely time consuming to make long form videos for vsauce, and that it requires so much research that its not worth doing them anymore. But I thought that the dong channel was specifically made for him to not have to make such in depth videos.

It seems like they were part of a previous curiosity box and are no longer able to be bought. If anyone knows where they can be found I would greatly appreciate it.

I posted a proof on my Reddit profile u/ljlv33 on 12/9/2024. The mathematicians who should get most of the credit for this proof are Terence Tao, Tom Crawford, Lucas Vaughan, Daniel Poll, Allan Strand, Seth Pritchard, Alex Kasman, Zachary Hilliard, and you, Michael Stevens, and Derek Muller [Veritasium]
