Awfully bold for anyone to assume I clean my toilet seat

Mt. Everest IS the highest mountain, but it’s not the tallest. Those words aren’t interchangeable.

3:30...Look at the food. Smell it. Taste it. If you don't die, it's still good. If you do die, throw the food away...oh...wait😂

As far as the Spanish Flu fact, I just recently found out that the first reported case was in Fort Riley, Kansas, which isn't far from where I live, in Wichita, Kansas

10:42 'allow at least 48 hours for the RICE to dry our completely before switching it on again " Now I know you can switch rice on... wish I knew this sooner.

Worked on the beach and had to always remind people that dolphins are smart, thus can have a problem with you just because their having a bad day. Otters aren't so cute after they climb on your kayak and rob you of your stuff. Showing extreme aggression if you have a problem with it. Treat otters like a gang on a street corner.

Mike, cracking list as ever; I really enjoy your work. You really need to tell your writers to stop making you say clickbait-y things like, ""Stick around for number n", and "You won't believe what's at number n". It is totally unnecessary and, dare I say, cheapens things a little. I think I speak for most when I say, we're here for all the facts and won't duck out before the end. Other than that, I love the work. Regards from a loyal fan in the UK. ps. You won't believe who I thanked at number 4!

Everyone knows that the moment you start a sentence with "Everyone knows ..." it's got to be false.

Nothing will fix a cell phone that has gone thru a wash cycle in with the laundry.

Twinkies..... In 1922 when Carter opened the 5,000 year old tomb of King Tut, he found the Boy King's still edible stash of Twinkies. 😅

12:20 When a rainbow is viewed from an airplane, it's in a circle.

You should leave your phone in rice if it gets wet. Overnight, the rice will attract Asian people who will fix your phone.

Mana Kea isn't off the coast of Hawaii, it is part of the Island of Hawaii. Kilauea, Hualalai, Kohala, Mauna Loa, and Mauna Kea are the volcanic mountains that make up the Big Island of Hawaii. Hawaii refers to a Kingdom, a state, and archipelago, all made of several Islands (more than 100), it is also an individual island, and a county. Off the southeast coast of Hawaii Island is Kamaʻehuakanaloa Seamount (formally Loihi) which is still submersed below the waves by 975 m. Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, and Haleakala (Maui) should all be taller than Mount Everest when measured from the base.

Those little gel packs are often put in bags and shoes, so when you buy either save them...they are useful for stopping damp in draws and cupboards. ❤

Phone tip - put it in a plastic container with that clear/white cat litter. It will absorb the liquid without dust getting in there.

you should remember that you want the phone to dry out NOT the rice lol

The Ben Franklin one got me. I thought he said that the turkey was the most elegant bird. LOL maybe his bifocals were dirty lol.

Bats are blind is another one.

An obscure one: Diana Ross discovered the Jackson Five. In reality, Motown producer Bobby Taylor discovered the Jackson Five. It was he who brought the group to the attention to Motown president Berry Gordy.

I had no idea about the coffee " cherries" ..glad I watched ...

The "cellphone in rice" actually does work. At least it did for me. Back in July of 2013, I was in my bass boat out on the lake one day and accidentally left the rear live well aeration pump on and it overflowed into the "glovebox" between the two seats. Which is where I kept my iPhone 4 that day. When I went to check the time and for missed calls/texts, I realized my phone was under about 5" of water. I quickly removed it, and quickly wrapped it tightly in a towel. I did not push any buttons or the screen bcuz I knew that any touch "command would cause an electrical charge to flow and probably result in shorting out the board and frying the circuitry. I got back to my apartment about 2 hrs later (4;30p), stuffed it down deep into a half-full box of rice, and left it there until I got up the next morning around 7a to go to work. Before I left, I put it on the charger until I got home later on that day. When I got home, I tried to turn it on and low and behold it powered up. The only lasting sign it had been submersed was the camera was looked a little bit cloudy but overall it was fine. The cloudiness went away 3 days later. The reason I was so desperate to save the phone was because it was my g/f's that she gave to me because I wanted another iPhone after my 3GS was stolen, and she wanted to upgrade to a Samsung Galaxy S3. She passed away two weeks prior to this incident and my phone had a lot of pictures of me and her together. So, to me, I felt since I couldn't save her, I HAD to save that phone. Man, grief makes you rationalize things in some strange, inexplicable ways sometimes.

Huh…you taught me something today, Mike! I did not know the silica gel method for drying worked 😊 Thanks, and have a great weekend! ❤

Baseball is basically an evolution of the English game, rounders, which is very similar, but played with a smaller bat. The first reference to rounders as a game was in 1744.

I dried things out (cell phones included) by finding a air tight vessel and fashioning a vacuum chamber using a vacuum pump used the AC repair/installation. The moisture will boil off due to the evacuation of all gases by the pump.

I've never heard anyone express that dogs sweat through their tongue.

About rainbows ... did you know that the sky within the arc of a rainbow is brighter than the sky outside? This is because the rainbow is actually a diffracted surface image of the sun. The rainbow being the edge. It's also why a complete ranbow is a full circle, which occasioanlly can be seen from an airplane.

"Highest" usually refers to elevation, not height from the base. You were correct when you said Mauna Kea is the *tallest*. Everest is the highest.

Objects fall at the same speed regardless of their mass. Try dropping a 2 kg ball and a 4 kg ball. They will hit the ground at (*almost) exactly the same time. *Any difference is a result of friction against the air; it's NOT because one has 2X the mass.

You are a very personable young man. You are interesting to watch. Keep up the good work.

The only one I didn't know was the coffee one. I legit thought it was beans instead of seeds, so Thanks List 25.

I strap my freshwater wet phone on a stand-up fan and let the fan run for 2 days. It has worked for me twice. However, salt water screws the pooch.

When you were talking about the coffee beans it reminded me to tell you that you should look into the way that cashews are grown lol

I did know about coffee cherries. But my dad used to work for a gourmet coffee company

Perfect timing on the video. I'm waiting for an auction to start and your video was the perfect way to wait. 😊❤😊❤😊

I lived in Dublin for most of the 70’s. We spent St. Pat’s day by going to Mass in the morning, buying some shamrock from the little old lady outside the church, then going for a ride in the Wicklow mountains, stopping for lunch, often in the garden of a nice pub, it being early spring. In the evening, we would go to a pub where there was good music. We never went to the, then, small parade. That was for tourists.

Wait until you find out how great coffee comes from poop

I actually knew a surprising number of these! Great list Mike.❤

I'm obsessed with coffee to a certain degree so I did know about coffee "cherries" I just found out about blonde coffee having more caffeine in it than dark roast. I prefer the dark roast flavor though.

I remember reading one time that a letter exists in which Abner Doubleday tells someone about a game he learned while on holiday somewhere. He may have brought baseball to the US, but he learned of it somewhere else. He did not invent it.

You’re killing me smalls 😂. I can’t unknow this now. Lol.

Knew quite a few of these, but was surprised at the gravit🤔. This was a fun ride. Thanks!🙂👍

If silica gel is not available, sugar is also a good absorbant. Do not put your phone directly in sugar but put the sugar in coffee filters or tea baggies.

A friend of mine took a photo of a full-circle rainbow, as viewed from an airplane

Rice actually is a factor is removing liquid from cell phone, iPads and the like, but not as most think. You cannot use long or short grain rice, as they do put off far too much dust and will damage the circuitry. Instead make you use ‘Sticky’, Asian Rice, I have great success with Korean Rice. Then put it in a food sealer, I use a FoodSaver®️. Step 1: I make a bag. Step2: Fill it about 2/3 of way with the ‘Sticky’ Rice. Step 3: Lay the bag of ‘Sticky’ Rice on its side. Step 4: Insert the iPhone (my model, though friends have used various other models) in to the bag, in the rice with the ports facing the opening of the bag. Step 5: Insert the bag into the FoodSaver®️. Step 6: Start the cycle and let it run. Step 7: Set the bag aside for 6-8 hours. Occasionally, the process must be repeated. The success rate has been 100% for me and all those whom I know that have used this method.

12 I know this one. My mum tried the other day after her phone got wet. Sure, it dried it out, but the screen wouldnt work

Ben Franklin also thought the Eagle was a cruel bird of bad character; while the Turkey was a loyal, moral creature

I love the title and subject of this video! This is excellent creating. I have been looking for content that is an example of something that is not clickbait or stupid. Congratulations on being one of not many who are the best.

If you are ever thirsty enough to drink the Municipality water here, you will find that the last true/false is tragically wrong.

I love all you guys videos Mike thanks for posting knowledge is power🌹🌹

12:45 "Myth Busters" did a demonstration of quicksand proving you floated on it like water.

Great content and presentation. 🇦🇺 😊

#11. In the absence of atmosphere ALL objects, regardless of their mass, fall at the same speed. This was demonstrated by one of the Apollo astronauts, standing on the moon, dropping a rock and a feather at the same time.

DUDE, DON'T BE DISSIN' MY DOLPHINS!! :)

Addition to 17. The actual flag of St Patrick is the one used by Northern Ireland and not the one of the Republic. In other words wearing those colours are totally wrong. It would make more sense to wear the colours of the Italian flag since they better represent the Patron Saint the day is named after.

As a avid coffee connoisseur.I knew about coffee.

Brown is NOT a color in the rainbow. Brown is not a spectral color, but I think that everybody except you already knew this.

Amazing facts well said sir 😊

Hi Mike! I've missed you. I've been out of the loop. I didn't know until now that you're back on List 25. Awesome sauce!

“…the rice to dry out completely before switching it on again.” Oops! 😄

There are Legrange points in space whre gravity from different bodies is cancelled out, you can park something there and it will still be there in the future, James webb telescope is in the L2 point You didn't mention that there are only 6 distinctive colours in a rainbow, it's just that Isaac Newton's favourite number was 7

If you can get your nose close to it and it doesn't have hair, it's probably ok to eat! You would be surprised how long things actually stay good past their "best before " date. I think sometimes they put that on there so you will buy it more often.

The darker roasted coffees may have a more robust taste but the additional roasting reduces the amount of caffeine.

Ben Franklin was so cool! He wrote essays on farting!

This my first time watching one of your videos in years. Unless I'm looking for a specific video, I hardly go in KZfaq anymore.

St Patrick’s day is still a religious holiday in Ireland, it’s only in America that it’s all about drinking.

Always make sure that your pets like dogs 🐕 and cats 🐈 have a fresh bowl 🥣 of water 💧.

7:50 "Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano off the coast of Hawaii" Uh no. It's smack dab in the middle (okay, a bit to the north) of the Big Island.

There is a coffee that costs a fortune, made from coffee cherries, pooped out by civet cats. 😁

The Spanish flu was called that because Spain was the only country that the media couldn't be controlled so when they reported it in their news, people jumped to the most logical conclusion . In fact it was first noticed in Chinese laborers that were shipped across Canada to work in the war effort . When they opened the boxcars many were sick or dying , they shipped the live ones . I don't know but I'll bet they originated in the same area that gave us the black death and cvid . They had so many deaths once it got going that they couldn't allow the enemy to find out their weakness , war correspondents were forbidden to report on it . Very interesting story if you want to dig a little .

Really good list. Definitely were some that surprised me. One that I learned from a board game was that K2 is actually the most dangerous mountain. I always thought the big deal was about whether someone could climb Everest but actually K2 is far more dangerous. From what I understand, it's the deadliest mountain. (At least most deadly of the 5 tallest according to wiki.)

Dolphins are our friends, just because they have enemies that they kill doesn't mean that they'll want to kill us too. They are learning to take over the oceans like we took over the lands

No, all OBJECTS fall at the same speed, if you eliminate wind resistance. Regardless of mass. Newton calculated that, and Buzz Aldrin demonstrated it by taking a feather and a hammer to the Moon and dropping them. They both fell at the same speed and hit the ground together. He did it on the Moon because there's no air.

Ben Franklin wanted the middle finger for the bird. Bird is the word- Peter Griffin.

Someone asked me what animal/mammal I considered dangerous and aggressive I said Dolphins and they lauged. Than I proceeded to teach them about Dolphin rape and their underwater murder caves.. Dolphins are frigged up..

Mountains... there is also a third to consider, Mount Chimborazo, whose top extends furthest from the earth's core

# 17 At one time Catholics referred to Protestants as "snakes." Patrick's preaching converted so many to Catholicism, it is in this sense he "drove the snakes out of Ireland."

What I hate about soft water is it's almost impossible to rinse off all the soap when you shower.

Best before and use by dates are legally required on most food and drinks here in the UK Best before = Quality (legal to sell past unless unfit for human consumption) Use by = Safety (Illegal to sell past) I work in retail and have done for the past 7 years 🙂

This is a seriously legit channel. I was gonna sub but then I realized that I already did, smart a?

The Mt Everest info was confusing - I think you forgot that "highest" and "tallest" are not the same thing at all

Love bagpipes ❤

We lived in San Diego till I was 14. When we moved to Seattle, I could not stand the water because it did not have the same minerals I was used to

Ben Franklin actually invented contact lenses during his kite flying experiments on electricity.

The “Spanish” flu actually originated in MidWestern USA. It was a form of bird flu, transmitted from wild birds, like ducks, to domesticated ducks, to human handlers. The human handlers ie young male farm hands, enlisted in the army and went to boot camp i; the eastern and southern States. Where the initial fever and contagion established itself. Then, they shipped out to the European theatre of war. The deaths began during the initial transfer, but intensified during trench warfare and passed to the general public during hospitalisation and general leave. The Spanish flu was American.

@list25 Hello my deae friend…. You mentioned rainbows ... Did you know that you can only see a rainbow facing east? Great show once again Hun. Love you too!

17:00 I'm pretty sure house cats love to unalive things even more so than humans.

The thing about sharks is that no matter how well they detect blood, blood has to get to their "noses" in order to be detected. Your blood will not disperse a mile away for a long time, meaning you will probably be on shore bandaging your wound long before your castoffs reach that far, unless there is a terrible current or a swirling storm.

Stop with the BCE. You know who the pivotal point in History is, Accept no imitations

Climate crisis should be on your list.

Hey hey! Missed you guys so much!

The first recorded major break-out of the Spanish flu was at an army camp in the USA.

Number 26, Donny Trump is a successful business guy.

If you didn't say bce, I would not have unsubscribed.

In a psychology of perception class I took they said animals that can see in things like infrared and that have more rods and cones may be able to see colors we don’t. This got me thinking, how would you describe a new color to people?

Interesting stuff. Thanks. But the Rays ...? LOL

Sodium does not affect hardness of water!! Water hardness is defined by concentration of Ca++ and Mg++ cations.

Mauna Kea is not "off the coast of Hawaii". It's essentially the Island of Hawaii.

Anyone with even basic knowledge of Irish cultural history knows the story of the life pf St. Patrick and his non Irish origin.

I need to do a "25 Things - '25 Things' Didn't Research Well" video. Here are just a few from this video... St. Patrick was from Scotland. For proof, a 2018 research paper titled "Saint Patrick's Birthplace & Roman Britain: Old Kilpatrick & the Antonine Wall" by Philip Freeman, uses Roman period place names along the Antonine Wall to identify St. Patrick's birthplace as Old Kilpatrick, which is near Dumbarton (in Scotland). Ben Franklin LOVED the turkey. As he wrote to his daughter, “For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen as the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him." He goes on to say, "For the Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America…" So, while it wasn't "official," it's not any less true, and it's no secret or "myth" that Franklin loved the turkey over the eagle. You absolutely CAN use rice to dry out a phone. While it isn't ideal, and is potentially problamtic at times, it absolutely can, and has been done. There are many stories of dolphins being exceptionally friendly to humans, and it’s an overgeneralization to even allude to the idea that they are going to be or act some way. Each dolphine has its own personality and temperament. And FYI - many scientists even believe that dolphines sometimes perceive humans as part of their own pod. Yes, the background of Thanksgiving is dark. However, your generalization is misleading. In March of 1621, the Wampanoag Confederacy and English settlers from the Mayflower formed a treaty in Plymouth Colony. This peace agreement was the first between English settlers and Native Americans, and it was celebrated accordingly. As a result of this treaty, they shared survival and other types of information. This led to a great harvast that fall, and Governor William Bradford invited the Wampanoags to "a feast" in November, which is now known as the first Thanksgiving. And yes, the Wampanoags were happy to attend, and that treaty held for about 50 years. The prevailing theory of the Spanish flu is that it originated at either Camp Funston in Kansas, in France, or in China. And not that I'm being asked, but using Occam's Razor as a guide, my guess is that it started in Kansas - because of how the camp was set up and because it housed both US and international troops in an unsanitary environment. The rapid movement of troops back out into the world would account for the rapid global dissemination of the virus. And etc., etc., etc. Anyway, be careful about sharing misleading information or misinformation. It's typically not helpful because it leads to further misinformation and contortion.
