When you're told that your job is to drive from A to B, but instead you cause 2 world wars, collapse 4 empires, and roughly 100m in deaths. Yea, thats your employee of the month right there

"A tiny and insignificant decision could drastically change the course for humanity" Well i guess eating bat is one of them

“Hey forty two here.” I swear that’s what I hear every time haha love your videos mate thanks for the quality content.

Sir the amount of research you go into when making a video is of scholarly levels. Thank you for being a part of this online community.

"Don't Count the Days. Make the Days Count."

That transition into skill share advertising was seamless, thoroughly impressive.

I hear "forty-two" every single time

Life's just random chance. I can recall a moment in my life whilst walking down the street I decided to do a a U turn. It resulted in me meeting a person that diverted my life to me leaving home at 17 meeting many other people and moving to a different area. If I didn't turn back down that street, it's 's impossible to say what my life would be like, what other people I would meet. Even the tiniest of choices, affect the lives of countless others.

"Why don't YOU make a small change today that could change the destiny of your life?" Me: *tears in the eyes* oh my god yes I'm going to change everything tell me "By learning a new skill on Skillshare!" Me: ._.

If only neil armstrong used his right foot first, i wouldve passed the exam

*AHEM* the burning of the library at Alexandria. Nuff said.

Moral of the story: Never take a wrong turn. Or do. You never know what will happen.

that smooth transition to skillshare tho

Thoughty2's titles have changed your life more than you know, here's how...

Me: * dies * * Walking to the gates of heaven * HEY THOUGHTY TWO HERE, WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE DEAD

Joe Elliot misses a bus home, meets Pete Willis, and starts the band Def Leppard.

Im changing the world with this comment.

“For the want of a nail the shoe was lost, For the want of a shoe the horse was lost, For the want of a horse the rider was lost, For the want of a rider the battle was lost, For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost, And all for the want of a horseshoe-nail.” ― Benjamin Franklin

"It's funny how when people in TV shows go back in time, they say that a tiny thing like stepping on a moth can change life as we know it, but no one in the "now" ever believes that a small act can change the world." -anonymous commenter I found

The butterfly effect has certainly changed my life. Like a few months ago I decided to talk to a stranger on the internet, despite how scared I was. Now we are bestfriends, changing my life.

cheers to franz ferdinand's driver for giving us internet.

The skillshare advertisement caught me by surprise at the middle of the video.

As soon as he mentioned about taking a wrong turn, I knew that he was going to bring up Prince Ferdinand and the events which ultimately led to WW I.

0:30 “Fleming discovered that this new growth of bacteria was peicillium notatum.” For some reason I found it strange that the mold had already been described by someone else only 5 years before its antibacterial properties were known.

The only thing smoother than a flat plane is his ad transitions

#bringbackthesuit

"It's as they say, man plans and gods laughs." "That is… such bullshit. Never give up on control. Live life on your own terms."

"The question is, is time really deterministic?" Me: What does that mean? "That means!..." Me: Oh! Ok, thanks!

I just made a presentation about the butterfly effect 1 month ago in class... This is interesting lol

I like to think of thoughty 2 as the British Vsauce

I believe in the butterfly effect strongly. When I was 11 I was sat in class chewing, chewing gum and offered some to someone sat next to me (never spoken to her before) to encourage her not to tell the teacher on me. If it wasn’t for that one conversation my life would be completely different. That was 8 years ago. It’s hard to imagine what my life would be like without that one conversation. Thanks to her I met all the people who are now important in my life and has been for the years. She has even changed my family life and my course in education. It’s easy to fall in with the wrong people in school but I didn’t because of her, which caused me to advanced far and get the job I have now. So if it wasn’t for one conversation my life would be completely different.

Been watching/catching up on your videos for the last few months and I must say. I find them absolutely fascinating! Good job man!

its weird to think about how humans could have avoided situations like ww1, but the real question is - how many wars/conflicts have we avoided from the butterfly effect?

I wonder what effects his eyebrow raises have on us all?

I met my 2nd wife when I decided to grab a cup of coffee at a shared house party one night. I was watching TV up in my room when she was down in the living room. She was not enjoying herself and later told me she would never have visited again after that night. I had one chance. I had one 15 minute window to grab that coffee. We ended up being together for 20 years and built up much more wealth than I would have been able to achieve on my own. I sometimes wonder where I would be now if I did not feel like coffee that evening.

This sounds like a plot for a time travelling movie where the main character has to prevent the driver to making the wrong turn.

one of my fav youtubers of ALL time

Hmmm... I never knew New Mexico had hurricanes. Wait a second...

The same small things can affect the future. Whoever is reading it: PLEASE KEEP FIGHTING FOR BETTER WORD. All day, every day! Peace. Love. Prosperity. ✌️❤️😘

How do we know Franz Ferdinand’s driver wasn’t in on it and hence actually took the right turn?

First learned about the butterfly effect/chaos in 1993, while watching the movie Jurassic Park...thanks, Mr. Goldblum.

fun fact, during the american civil war robert e lee gave out a detailed plan of upcoming confederate troop movements on a piece of paper to all his troops, one of them wrapped it around a box of cigars, left it somewhere and forgot about it. a month later, union army troops were casually patrolling the area where he left it, and they found it...

This gentleman converts his video into an ad soooo smooth

I have long believed this. I meet my wife through a series of extremely unlikely events, being a history buff I also noticed the same thing through histories events on random chance

The last one about Ferdinand is wrong. Millitary technology was improving crazy fast and oil had just been discovered. The European powers was eager to go to war with each other. The assassination was just a blame for Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia. By doing so, set off a chain reaction in Europe, starting World War I. If the assassination never happened, something else would have been the blame for the war to begin.

Me and my brother was discussing this a week ago. Our mother told us about a doctor who was going home from work one day and got killed by a falling tree. I was like "Imagine if he was just 20 second early or late, he would have lived." So me and my brother started talking about what could have led to that moment. My brother said that for example, he could have been there at that exact spot just because he was 5 minutes late for school one day. Imagine, the alarm clock doesn't ring and you wake up late and you start walking to school, as you are walking to school you get to see some paramedics in action as they are saving someone or taking someone to the hospital. This might inspire you to become a doctor when you grow up so if you weren't 5-10 minutes late you would not have seen that and you would have been on your merry way instead of being inspired. He started going something he loved because of one day that he was late for school maybe. Just think of all the things that needed to happend just for you to be born, or the things that happend that put you were you are now in life. Mindblowing.

Not only are you videos the best on all of youtube, you even frame the ads in a way that is enjoyable. You are the undeniable best, but don't let it go to your head, for fear that one ego boost could potentially produce a monster... lol

This guy is a master of sales pitches. I can't even be mad about it he's so smooth.

0:11 - 0:13 is me in a nutshell

I actually don't mind the skill share placement, it is a cool website that actually offers decent skills that made me consider a membership. Better then some war game none of us are interested in and he has to make a living!

the butterfly effect is like trying to play a racing game on highest sensitivity, shit happens very fast and it affects the cars in front and behind you

I should show this to the teachers who complained about my messy desk

Not certain of this .....His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to eke out a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death. The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman’s sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved. “I want to repay you,” said the nobleman. “You saved my son’s life.” “No, I can’t accept payment for what I did,” the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer’s own son came to the door of the family hovel. “Is that your son?” the nobleman asked. “Yes,” the farmer replied proudly. “I’ll make you a deal. Let me take him and give him a good education. If the lad is anything like his father, he’ll grow to a man you can be proud of.” And that he did. In time, Farmer Fleming’s son graduated from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School in London and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin. Years afterward, the nobleman’s son was stricken with pneumonia. What saved him?? Penicillin. The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son’s name? Sir Winston Churchill. Someone once said what goes around comes around.

I see Thoughty2 upload, I click. It's a simple life.

That shift to the ad was the smoothest I have ever seen.

You are the only creator whose videos I watch without scrolling down the comments section

12:41 maybe the driver was in the plot

It`s possible that WW1 could have started without the assasination, cause the assasination was just an excuse, not the reason for WW1.

Brilliant! Amazing that you are so accurate! Congrats from a scientist

GREAT VID. very thought provoking and informative 🙌🏽💯💯💯

That shameless plug right in the middle of the video 😂😂

I do remember the story of the small Cuban boy. He did have a very nice set of foster parents. Wealthy and willing to raise him well. (they loved him). The vote thing is very fascinating.

Skill share thoughty2, honey mrbeast, gfuel pewdiepie.

Watching this six years after the fact, it’s interesting to see how much you have grown as you polish your delivery and your channel. Well done,Sir!

Will Skillshare teach me to love myself

I gotta admire the skill on that segway to the ad read.

That DRIVER'S soul be like ..WTF .. everything blamed on me🤣😂🤣

The amount of times that you talk about Winston Churchill. It really does make me think about the family guy meme of “I am Winston Churchill I am Winston Churchill”

Very smooth sponsor transition, well played. I like it.

Why are videos becoming rare? I thought there is a new episode every Thursday

Elian Gonzalez is now a ingenier and member of the Cuban parliament

The last half of your episode is as terrifying as it is profoundly intriguing. Thank you, Arran, for yet another stellar episode :)

You fill the void Vsauce left before he went to make only youtube RED videos only. Thank you, you the real MVP.

Its called an "Agar plate" when it has the jelly in it, a petri dish is just the dish it's in.

Never bored on any of your videos. Another great work, enjoyed it thoroughly.

I got spiritually connected with a fart sniffer after apologizing over a small dispute he probably forgot about but was consciously eating at me.

I would happily support you on patreon if you made videos more than twice a year

The argument of "had this not happened, had that not happened" is flawed - the assumption is that a similar event would not have happened. In actuality, a similar event most likely would have happened. If the Wright brothers had not flown "first", someone else would have. If Fleming had not uncovered the properties of Penicillin, someone else would have. If Ferdinand had not been assassinated when he was, then it might have been later that day, the next or the next. Einstein's deterministic view is not flawed or discounted by modern quantum mechanics. The "particle has no location at any time" idea is just misconstrued - the current way to observe particles causes them to move, therefore, we cannot ever know the true location.

When the information is laid out like this, it is mind blowing. Good job T2. Thanks for the video"s.

*"Thah boodafly affect!"*

We still have yet to know if he wears pants whilst making videos 😂

Toughty2 is that the art of ads transition you learn from skill share? Damn that was as smooth as baby's bottom!

Whilst living in Hong Kong in the mid 90s I went to get a haircut but took the wrong street where I passed a cafe where a female colleague was having coffee with a friend. I thought I’d stop and say hi. We got talking and found we had a lot in common so arranged to meet up later. We eventually got married and raised two great kids.

Are you trying to say “Thoughty” ? Cause I always hear “42”.

WAIT,WHERE'S YOUR SUIT?

One of the best videos in a very long time.

I often consider how a flat tire or other delay could keep you from being at the wrong place and wrong time further down the road.

7:44 that's where that meme came from?..😲😲🤣🤣🤣

If I wasn't born, I wouldn't be able to browse KZfaq so thanks mom :)

WW1 would've still happened. Austria wanted any reason to fight Serbia. That was unavoidable. If none of that happened, Britain may've still went to war with Germany, because Britain is always afraid of German hegemony. If not that, then maybe Britain would've fought Russia over Central Asia (See _The Great Game_ ). Butterfly effect doesn't mean certain things would never happen or never exist. To me, it just means the events would happen at different times for different reasons. Hell, maybe Europe would've been in a perpetual state of war for totally different reasons, but maybe that would've happened more recently with deadlier technology.

CONGRATS FOR 3M SUBS. Last video i watched a min ago was at 2.99M and it just changed to 3M, lol. sweet!

Franz Ferdinand's driver watching this: ⊙_⊙

If he had thrown the petri dish away, someone else would have probably discovered penicillin soon.

*I was really getting inspired up until he said skills share*

Thoughty two really explain so well,really enjoys and also learns many news things through his video...thank you..

A marine blabbing to a loved one over the phone, bout a mission he's about to go on can change the mission. That is a summary of a story, my brother shared with me, from his deployment to Iraq.

Maybe writing this comment will let us develop timetraveling or a cure for cancer, yeah the butterfly effect surely is an interesting subject

Anyone else wondering how you get a hurricane in New Mexico

What if everyone on Earth forgot the date of today?

A few years ago I came across an ad for a quiz. For participating in the quiz you got 4 free tickets on a ferry ride. I decided to do the quiz, got the tickets and invited my boyfriend, his mother and his mothers boyfriend. My boyfriends mother got drunk and had unprotected sex with her boyfriend. 9 months later she gave birth. So basically, if I hadn't clicked on the ad for the quiz my boyfriends little brother wouldn't have been born. Crazy to think about.
