FAKE English Words Used in FRENCH That Don't Really Exist (PART 2)! Anglicisms Gone Wrong! 🇨🇵😜 - Duration: 7:59.
Salut YouTube welcome back I'm back with a brand new video as promised every week
and if you're new here my name is Rosie and I'm in New Zealander living in
France and I do videos mostly about French culture life in France tips for
expats living abroad that kind of thing as well as some New Zealand culture
related stuff as well and some travel videos too and if you haven't subscribed
yet you definitely should because my subscribers are awesome alright all that
said and done let's get started with this video which is anglicisms gone
wrong in French and this is actually part two of this video series so if you
haven't seen part one yet I'll link that in a card just up here or I'll put the
link down in the description box below as well so the first Anglicism that I
wanted to touch on is the word un standing or a standing obviously saying
a standing doesn't mean much in English you can say a standing ovation
but not just a standing by itself and this English word when you're using it
in French actually means high quality or deluxe so you may talk about a nice
hotel as having a standing for example I guess we say things have a high standing
in English which would probably be a close equivalent so number two are some
words for shoes so you've got des basket and these are not baskets as we know and
love these are sneakers and you also have
des tennis so tennises I guess in English which are tennis shoes or court
shoes number three is a string and when we think of the string we just think
literally of a piece of string but be careful because in French when you say a
string you mean a g-string number four is le training and when you say
training in this context it really isn't like a training like I went on a
training I had fun at the training it actually means a track suit so if you
watch the video number one you know that you can put on a training to go footing
number five is a pull which is actually a throw over or a sweater or
so when you put on a pool you're actually putting on a warmer layer and
this caught my attention quite quickly because for us if you pull it means that
you score a girl at the bar for example like he pulled last night I don't
automatically associate the word pull with the pull over which is obviously
what they're referring to when they say un pull number six was really cute and
you can see where they got it from is un recordman which is a record holder
I'm not sure if a female record holder is a recordwoman I haven't heard that one
number seven is un car yes as in a car and this actually means a bus or a
van and French number eight is another English word that we have which is caddy
un caddy and for us a caddy is someone who follows a golfer around
often a professional golfer and looks after his clubs right but in French when
you are using the word caddy it actually means a shopping trolley
number nine is just so sweet it is a talkie walkie which is of course
walkie-talkie but for some reason I decided to throw the words around in the
other direction so if you've got a few kids playing walkie talkie at your house
they're actually playing talkie walkie when they are in France number ten is
the word fashion which actually becomes an adjective and French so for example I
love your shoes so fashion or I love your skirt : très fashion
obviously in English the word is fashionable but here fashion has taken
on its own meaning number eleven in speaking about fashion is fashion victim
this is not used in the same way as we use it in English which is a really
derogatory way where we talk more about someone who has a really poor sense of
fashion in France it actually means someone who's very fashionable and
always keeps up-to-date with the trends number twelve is the word speed so
French people might say je suis hyper speed en ce moment which means I'm
really busy at the moment this obviously wouldn't really work in
English if you say I'm speed I am speed it just sounds like you are on speed the
drug you obviously say I'm busy and go-go-go or I was very speedy but you're
not just speed number 13 is un rugbyman which is a rugbyman one word which
actually means rugby player you can also have this for tennis players so you can
have a tennis man but the funniest one of all that you can have is the plural
of tennis man and this is des tennismens or tennismens which is just wrong
in every way number 14 short and sweet it is the word slim and slim which is a
pair of skinny jeans and I suppose it comes from the english word for slim cut
jeans or slim leg jeans but it's just un slim like a slim is a pair of skinny
jeans number 15 is another sports term which is catch but rather than being
associated with a ball sport it actually means wrestling so if you
say "on fait du catch" you are saying we are wrestling number 16 and this is
probably my favorite one of all time is an auto stopper and auto stopper which
is the French word for a hitchhiker and if you've ever been hitchhiking I'm sure
you wish that it was Auto stopping but I'm sure it takes a long time to
actually get anyone to stop number 17 is beefsteak and beefsteak and I just
find this kind of funny because it's the French word for steak and they felt the
need to specify the source of the meat that it comes indeed from beef I suppose
we do the same when we say a lamb steak or a pork steak maybe but we don't say a
beef steak or do we? No I don't think so or at least it's not one word stuck
together like a beefsteak number 18 is a speaker and this is not just a regular
speaker this is often related to television and it's usually referring to
the actual announcer or the news anchor but what's really sweet about this word
is that there was the female equivalent the feminine version of the word which
is une speakerine number 19 definitely made me laugh out loud which is the word
people and no it doesn't just mean people as in people in general the
French word for that is des personnes or des gens but here people actually mean celebrity
and it comes from the American magazine people so you can 'il est très people'
he's very famous he's very much so a celebrity number 20 or number
40 if you have watched both videos by now is des warnings so warnings and it
doesn't just mean warnings in general or someone's warning you off something when
you use the word warnings in French it actually refers to car hazard lights so
that's all guys and I'm gonna stop filming before the Sun goes down on me
and I'm talking to you in total darkness I really need to invest in some lighting
but I just want to say I hope this causes no offense whatsoever to my
French friends out there I know that we as English speakers and I'm sure from
other nationalities as well butcher the French language, we're always using
your words like touché, gourmet, probably in a completely wrong sense and if you
want me to do some research on that and actually do a video on the French words
that we use incorrectly in English please let me know down in the comments
below because I mean what would life be if we couldn't giggle about these kinds
of differences so I'll leave you here for now I had fun I hope you had fun too
until next time I'll see you soon A bientôt !

Ep. 1 - You don't need the experts. Diversify your own portfolio! - Duration: 10:43.
What's up world
This is stocks in the streets where we focus on pure
Investing without the bakin soda boric acid or all the other crap that analysts try to throw your way
Simply put we give it to you straight forward no cut
investing made simple
Let's say one day you woke up and went to check your bank account and the bank had made a mistake and
Accidentally added a hundred racks into your account
What would you do?
Would you call them like hey you guys made a mistake?
You've put too much money in my account. You need to take it out. Would you go to the bank and immediately make a withdrawal?
Well, I don't know and I can't answer that question for you
But what I can do is
Tell you how to make your money work for you so that you can have a continuous stream of funds into your account
When you come around to the point of retirement?
Regardless of where you are right now
So back to this hypothetical
So let's assume there you are
Sitting there with 100 racks cash
It doesn't matter if it came from the bank or a bank error if it was a gift if you hustle for it
Or if you hit a lick. Either way, it's yours
Now my next question is what are you going to do with that money?
do you pay off your house you buy a new whip a
supercharged motor for your old school drop
Maybe you're already riding clean. You just want to grab a new set of Forgi's you?
Can't go wrong with Forgi's, right?
Now some of you may be asking yourself. Why do I make so many automobile references?
Well, that's because when I was younger that was my mindset
We didn't have much we were growing up
But I didn't complain because we always seemed to have just enough I mean the light stay torn
I had a place to sleep. I had my people my family
You know I'm certain my family did the best they could to raise me and teach me right from wrong
But unfortunately the whole financial side of things really wasn't talked about you know I never learned anything about managing money
I didn't learn about investing until later on in life
You know by the time I was a teenager
I
Felt like I had life all figured out
You know I went out started making my own decisions, and I'll say when I was a late team maybe in my early 20s
You know I managed to turn a few numbers and do a little bit of this and a little bit of that
You know quite honestly. I probably had too much money for my own good
Like I know without a doubt in my mind that I tricked off over a hundred G's in a year before
It's crazy, right
I'm sure some of you watching this video have blown through way more than that and didn't even trip about it. You know
But I've always had a love for cars so I always wanted to have a couple of toys
To bring out at night in a cooler under bucket with some tents for the daytime
But since I was never taught what to do with money when I had a little I pretty much waste it out
Wasted at all on stuff cars. You know a little bit of jewelry coats the voo Chi jackets were big back then
But anyways all that stuff, just just appreciates, and it doesn't bring you any additional value over the years
Now if you can relate to some or even most of what I just talked about
That you probably understand how the game goes how the game works, and if you understand the game
Then you pretty much already understand how the stock market works
Allowed me to begin explaining
Let's say it was time for you to read up and you got on through a friend of a friend
But by the time they got to you you realize you had a whole bunch of Reggie
Now of course you're gonna be disappointed and let's assume that they've already disappeared and your money is gone also
It happens. It's the name of the game. We all take ills every once in a great while
Well the same thing is going to happen in a stock market. You will take some males
now
imagine that a slightly different scenario
You gave somebody use some paper to get on for you in let's let's say you just sent them after a zip right now
That's not all your bread
But that's a little bit that you had to invest towards whatever you got going on so they come back
We assume it's some Reggie again. Now. You still want to be pissed, but you didn't take as nearly
Of a hit because you didn't have everything right there. You didn't give them your all. That's what?
Diversifying your portfolio is all about now
This is a term you're gonna hear a lot you're gonna hear people on TV talking about it. You'll probably have friends. Maybe family
You're read articles talking about that first to find your portfolio
Basically all they're saying is don't put all your eggs in one basket
You know taking ales or part of the game?
How you bounce back from it is what's gonna determine the extent to which you're able to shine
So if you've ever taken the L in a game you know what it feels like to take an L in a stock market
Nothing is guaranteed
Doesn't matter who or why or what it's calls from just always know. There's a possibility that you can take a loss
Now
Rule number one when it comes to investing
Never ever ever ever ever ever
Invest your money in a company that you don't fully understand I
Don't care what your friends. See it. I don't care if you feel like you got a tip from somebody. I don't care
What the analysts say or in terms of you it shouldn't even matter what I say
Unless you're fully in
The know of that company, and how it works some of this intricacies what the company has going on product releases
You do not want to take you don't want to spend your money or invest your money into that company
Now going back to the concept of diversifying or kind of spreading your money about
It would be almost useless if I ask you to hey
I need you to read and study 100 to 200 different companies, and I want you to know everything about them
The rally reality is it's not going to happen in
fact if you were going to look for any single company
if I'm a or entity to invest in I
Will tell you that you probably need to bet your money on the United States of America. I mean think about it
We all know how much they hitting over the hair for, Texas
We know how much attorney fees are we know how much it costs to pace, but post post bond
We know how much it costs for speeding tickets
Here's the thing the US economy is going to continue generating money. We know that this is the richest a
country in the world so
instead of trying to figure out how to beat the US economy I
Think the wise thing to do is invest your money and grow with our economy
So of all the money that you invest I am a firm believer that 90 percent
of it should be placed in a Standard & Poor 500 index fund or
S&P
500 index fund
This index or this type of index is going to track the 500 largest companies in the United States
And you base basically invest a little bit of money into each of them
This means that even if 50 of the companies have a bad year
You still have 450 other companies who may be having great years to kind of offset some of those losses
This is a straightforward way of
Diversifying without trying to become an expert in the market
Now
if you watch the video this for I'm sure your next question is
Where do I go to invest or how do I do it?
Well first things first if you do not have a nine of five and have never had a night of five
Do not I repeat
do not
dump
$100,000 into a brokerage account and try to buy stocks if you do I can
Guarantee that then people will be to see you
Now hopefully he's got a legit paper trail for your money, so your investments don't raise any red flags
so a brokerage account or
pretty much a broker is a middleman a
Broker is like that dude in the neighborhood who always knows somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody
Who always happens to have exactly what you're looking for well just like in the streets
They are all hustlers as long as you go through them you best believe they will be taxing you
Will just call this the middleman tax just to simplify things
Well, that's the same way the game works now in the streets you may not find someone who was willing to turn you on to
their plug, but when it comes to investing the name of the game is a bit different
that's why I'm here to share my plug with you now I
messed with a few brokers for various reasons, but then when it comes to getting started and just
Beginning a tinkerer in the stock market a little bit. I am a huge fan of the Robin Hood app
Now why this app well for beginners they don't charge a commission each time you trade
The other companies you go to buy something
They hit you over the head you go to sell it they hit you over the head again
Trust me over the course of multiple years that adds up big time, but that's how to get a paper that middleman tax
So about the Robin Hood and in fact if you click the link in the description and sign up for that Robin Hood app
Check down below. You'll also receive one free share of a stock. It'll be a random stock, but it's free
It'll probably be back valued anywhere from three dollars on up worst case scenario. You can sell it and grab a little something
I don't know but
Anyways once you have the app there are three
S&P 500 funds
That I want you to add to your watchlist within the app
The ticker for each of those funds is vo o IV V and
SP Y so check out my next video as I explain the significance of these three options
Again this is stocks in the streets taken up a soda in the b12 no-cut investing made simple

SAKIN EVDE DENEMEYİN! DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME! - Duration: 2:35.
Do not try this at home!
First you have to take a piece of cotton
Then you divide it into two parts.
You put both pieces in the tray
I'll use both of them.
I'll start with this one.
Here we have a handsaw.
and that is exactly why I told you not to try this at home.
This is magnesium rod.
I'm going to rub them
We decided to
put some magnesium particles
on the cotton.
to start a fire
I guess...
I couldn't start a fire.
By rubbing the rod
and producing more magnesium particles
We expect to
start a fire more easily.
Let's try again now
Am I doing it the right way? Yes, I am...
Nowwww, it's coming...
Then...
It is as if we produced electricity
We can see the sparkles
We can make sparkles but
but we can't start a fire
Today I told you something new
I' m going to tell and show something different
I'm going to
light a fire
but in a different way
not with these equipment
and not like this
I'll use another method for cooking
I won't make sparkle balls like this
This time you will see a warm and blue fire

Assemble - Jack Marshall Can't Do This - Webseries - Ep 28 - Duration: 4:48.
So, remember how last time we talked about me leaving to see Olivia?
And remember how Morgan dropped off those blackmail
photos of Olivia and I at the Thanksgiving Eve Benefit?
Well, this morning everybody's favorite handyman delivered...
Kay, yep.
Delivered an official document.
We are getting evicted.
And I just started living here.
Apparently, after Arthur found out I left the county
lines he was drafting a document the next day.
According to Morgan.
I don't know why he didn't just mail them.
I guess having Morgan hand-deliver them
was just too delicious of a just dessert to pass up.
and he probably saved money on postage.
I'm sorry can just desserts be delicious?
It doesn't matter.
I have a week to get my stuff and get out.
Which is a problem.
Yeah, tell me about it
because my aunt's memorial is in two weeks
and it's being held here at the house.
Can you just ask him for an extension?
I already emailed him.
What'd he say?
He said rules are rules.
That old softie.
I just want to know what tipped him off.
Your vlog?
I guess. He doesn't really track of these sort of things.
Yeah, well maybe you misjudged him.
Or maybe somebody's helping him.
House?
Where is he by the way?
He's shopping for more Christmas decorations.
Nice!
No, I didn't, no he thought of that one all on his own.
I think he's giving me the cold shoulder.
Oh, can ice give the cold shoulder?
[Doorbell]
Ponder that as I go answer the door.
I bet it's Morgan back to rub it in our face.
Yes, well I will threaten him with bodily harm.
I think House is on to the fact that I think he's a scoundrel
and also kind of boring.
Hey! It's the man of God.
Hey, hey, Jack, you got a minute?
I'm Paul by the way.
Hi, I'm Donni, Jack's cousin.
I just really need to talk to you.
Look, I'm sorry to barge in on you like this - -
No, no, what is it?
Has something happened to you?
Maybe, yeah, we're getting kicked out.
Kicked out of the house?
Yeah, I broke the terms of the will.
You did? Why?
I'm asking myself that same question.
I left the county to see a girl.
Meredith? Isn't that the girl you were asking about?
Her name is actually Olivia.
Wait, Armstrong?
Yep.
She's in the will. You can't.
That's correct.
But, but you did.
Congratulations, Paul. You are all caught up.
Well, she comes from a lovely family so I can't blame you - -
Oh, I can!
Though you're probably the reason why my office was turned inside out.
I think, I think Morgan did it.
Wait, what? Why would he do that?
I have a few things of your aunt's.
A book and a few items I hide borrowed.
I guess the the search for the missing treasure has expanded.
Well, it hasn't been successful inside the house, so...
Not yet anyway.
So this means the money, from the school?
Arthur's gonna be, Arthur's gonna be coming - -
No, no, no, we will figure that out together. Okay?
It was a gift and I'm not gonna let Arthur come after the money from the school.
Are you sure you are up up to that challenge?
Oh, more than ever.
Okay, well I'm gonna I'm gonna help you in any way I can.
Look, Paul, and this goes for you too Donni,
This is a problem that I created so I'm not gonna - -
Wait, wait, wait, is this your I can do it all by myself speech?
More or less.
Because I did not leave a research team in northern Alaska to be on the sidelines.
I'm in. Dude, I've been in.
Okay, then let's keep looking.
Okay.
Okay, I feel like this is a moment I should be quoting a verse or a parable
or something but nothing nothing comes to mind
so I'm going to say I'm in.
Paul, I'm so happy to hear you say that.
Yeah, me too.
We have an alliance.
Oh and we're on a clock.
And we don't know what we're looking for.
Guys, can you just let me have a moment of victory, please?
Happy?
We'll let you know as soon as we figure anything out
but please, in the meantime, send us whatever ideas you have about the riddle.
Oh and don't forget the hashtag.
You have any more of that?
Oh, yeah. Follow me.

You Don't Know How Toilets Work - The Illusion Of Explanatory Depth - Duration: 11:39.
>> ALEX: You don't know how toilets work.
This thing you use every single day, hopefully, you know almost nothing about even though
you may think you do.
I guarantee it.
Well, actually, I don't guarantee it, maybe a plumber is watching, or maybe you just really
know how a toilet works, but chances are that you think you know how a toilet works, but
you actually don't.
Let's talk to some people, and, I recommend you too answer my questions as we go.
Hey guys, I'm here interviewing some people, let's get technical.
So, on a scale of 1-10, 1 being you have no knowledge whatsoever, 10 being you're an expert
in this, rate how well you understand how a toilet works.
>> PARTICIPANT: 3
>> ALEX: A 3? That's a good answer.
>> PARTICIPANT: A 9 or 8 I think
That is a 3 for me
3, 4 maybe
I'd go with maybe a 2
3.5
I give it a 4.5 out of 10
Maybe 3
3
5
>> ALEX: That's good, solid answer.
So, can you explain to me, step by step, how a toilet works.
>> PARTICIPANT: Well, so there's a handle, and you flush it, and it goes through some machinery,
There's little lever inside the little box that's behind what you sit on, and then it...
I just know there's just kinda pipes, and I don't really know.
The water washes down into the pipes, okay?
There's like pipes going into the top thing, and then you press the flusher thing, and then the water goes all around and it flushes the gross stuff out.
>> ALEX: How does it actually, like, *flush* it out?
>> PARTICIPANT: It goes down a pipe? I don't know.
Water comes out into the bowl, and pushes the stuff down.
>> ALEX: Can you elaborate on that? Like, the pushing?
>> PARTICIPANT: Um, I'm not sure.
>> ALEX: How does the water actually go down?
>> PARTICIPANT: Um, can't wait for the next Technicality video for that one!
>> ALEX: Cool! So, now after you explained it, can you reevaluate yourself? On a scale of 1-10, rate how well you know how toilets work.
>> PARTICIPANT: 2
A 6 or a 7.
Like, 2 or 3.
Like a 2.
I think 2 was maybe pretty accurate, although I might want to decrease to a 1.
I'd put myself on a 1.5.
I don't know, I think I'm still a 3.
Uhh, like an 7. I did better than I thought I would.
I'm gonna say 2-3.
Oh, like 1. *both laugh*
This is known as the illusion of explanatory depth, the keyword there being explanatory,
but we'll get to that later.
The Illusion of Explanatory Depth is when people inaccurately overestimate their knowledge in a certain thing.
You can see this illusion everywhere, because there's so much stuff we use all the time
and people know almost nothing about, but they think they do.
You could just swap toilets from the previous example and replace them with refrigerators
or zippers or locks or bikes or can openers or a lot of other things!
THERE'S SO MANY THINGS!
Leonid Rozenblit and Frank Keil, both Yale psychologists, coined the term back in 2002
with this study: The misunderstood limits of folk science: an illusion of explanatory depth.
Hey, quick post-production note. You may notice I didn't put in a picture of Mr. Rozenblit, and that's because no picture of him comes up when you Google his name, but John Green's there for some reason, soooo.
Among other things, like doing many, many, many tests to prove that this is actually
a thing, they outline four factors that contribute to this illusion of explanatory depth.
One!
Change blindness.
Or, more specifically, change blindness blindness.
Let me explain.
This is a bike.
You probably know that, but, now, close your eyes, can you picture a bike?
Maybe it looks something like this, or maybe this, or maybe even this.
Yea, none of those designs would actually work as a bike.
This is Phil Fernbach.
He has a doctorate in cognitive science and is the co-author of The Knowledge Illusion:
Why We Never Think Alone.
>> PHIL FERNBACH: A psychologist studied this question, he wanted to see if people know how a bike works.
He brought people into the lab. He gave them a simple test, he said, "just draw in where the pedals go, draw in where the chain goes and draw in where the frame goes.
I'm gonna show you a couple examples of what people came up with.
Here's one. Bikes haven't looked like this since the 1920s
Here's another one. If you have teeny-tiny legs, this might be the bike for you.
>> BABY LEGS: Baby legs, here we go!! TTTttttt (I don't know how to put that sound into words)
>> ALEX: That was a clip from his TED talk on the subject.
Except for that Rick and Morty clip, I added that myself.
>> PHIL FERNBACH: I didn't cherrypick these examples, these are good representations of the average level of knowledge of bicycles, despite the fact that we all ride them every single day.
>> ALEX: We, as humans, rely very heavily on information that is right in front of us.
"When people succeed at solving problems with devices they may underestimate how much
of their understanding lies in relations that are apparent in the object as opposed to being
mentally represented."
When the bike is in front of me, of course it's a bike, but when we change that, we
become both blind to the makeup of the bike and blind to the fact that we are blind to
the makeup of the bike.
Change blindness blindness
Two!
Confusion with layers of explanation.
What is this?
Ok, so let's take my phone, for example.
How would you explain my cell phone?
Well, among other things, you might mention that there's a touch screen, a battery,
a speaker, emojis, and a camera.
Ok, so if you're then asked what's a camera, you might mention, well, there's a lens,
a flash, an aperture, et cetera.
Did you just see what we did there?
We just delved into 2 different layers of analysis when it comes to my phone.
The first layer is the stuff that makes up my phone, the second layer is the stuff that
makes up that stuff, and so on and so on if we were to continue.
A problem arises when we gain a surface layer understanding of something, but then think
we know all the layers, creating the illusion of explanatory depth.
Going back to our toilet example, yes, you know that when you press the flushy thing,
the water in the tanky thing empties, and pours out into the bowly thing.
But wait, how does the water actually get from the tank to the bowl?
Where does all that water in the bowl go?
How does the tank know when to stop refilling?
And what other parts play a role?
These are deeper level questions that you may not be able to answer, but because you
know the first layer, your brain thinks "Yea, I know how that works."
And this contradiction is a big
factor in the illusion of explanatory depth.
Three!
Murkiness of Knowledge.
This one kinda builds on the previous point.
Remember when I said that the key word in the illusion of explanatory depth is explanatory?
That's because this illusion really only works with explanatory knowledge, not with
facts or processes or other kinds of knowledge.
It's really easy to know if you know a fact or a process.
Do you know how old I am?
It's a question in the comments that is very very very very very very very very very
very very very very hey we done yet?
No?
Not even close?
Cool cool.
Very very very
>> SPONGEBOB NARRATOR: 2,000 years later.
>> ALEX: Very very very very very common.
It's a fact, and it's pretty easy to tell if you know it or not.
A...
A lot of people don't, apparently.
You just ask yourself, how old is Alex?
And if your answer is I don't know, then you don't know, and if your answer is the
15, then you know it.
Same reasoning for processes.
For example, do you know how to turn on post notification for Technicality?
*weird wink thing*
If your answer is I don't know, then you don't know, and if your answer is, well,
just click the little bell right beneath the video, check "Send me all notifications
for this channel," and click save, then you know it.
So do that--.
However, with explanatory knowledge, that ease simply isn't there because of those
layers of explanation we talked about earlier.
With processes, you have a clear beginning and end, and with facts, it's clear if you
either know them or if you don't.
None of that is true when it comes to explanatory knowledge.
Explanations usually, if not always, have no clear ending because there are so many
layers of explanation you can go into, and, thus, it's not clear if know it or not.
And finally, four!
The rarity of explanations.
Think about the last time you said a fact or told someone about a process.
It probably wasn't too long ago.
However, explanations are much more rare.
You don't often explain how toilets or bikes or refrigerators work, and that's because
you don't really need too.
Thus, we have less familiarity with explanations, making us more susceptible to overestimating
our knowledge.
Quote from the Rozenblit and Keil study, "Although each of these four features may be present
to some extent with other kinds of knowledge, such as facts or procedures, we claim they
converge most strongly with explanations, producing a powerful illusion of knowing."
One of the most important takeaways of the illusion of explanatory depth is that recognition
does not equal understanding.
You know THIS is a computer, but that doesn't mean you know how it works.
And that's ok, if my computer ever breaks, well, I know a guy who can hook me up and
fix it, right?
*long, awkward pause* The Division of Cognitive Labour.
Many many years ago, when we switched from a hunting and gathering society to an agriculture
society, we also switched to specialization.
This means that people who are the most helpful to society are really good at one thing, because,
if we're all really good at one thing, we can all work together to combine those talents.
No one needs to know everything, but if they know a lot of other people, and, collectively,
those other people know almost everything, then we're all set.
This is the Division of Cognitive Labour.
That's why we see kids start suffer from the illusion of explanatory depth at the same
age they learn about which professionals know what, around 3-5 years old.
At those ages, kids learn stuff like how a doctor will know how to make you not sick
and farmer will know how to make you not hungry.
That's why we can get away with the illusion of explanatory depth.
Because we've evolved so that we can rely on others, it doesn't hurt us to not be
able to explain something.
Or does it?
See, it's not gonna hurt me to not know how zipper zips stuff, but can the illusion
of explanatory depth actually have a pretty big impact?
Turns out, yea.
Remember Phil Fernbach from earlier?
Well, in that TED Talk, he talks about a study he did where he brought in participants and
polled them on certain topical political issues.
Stuff that's fairly controversial, like a single-payer healthcare system, and emissions
trading, and GMOs.
Participants were asked to explain how each of those things work, and what Phil and his
team found was that people, even if they have extreme, passionate views on a certain issue,
don't always know how that issue works.
>> PHIL FERNBACH: They think they know how these policies work, when, in fact, they don't. And the attempt to try to explain leads to drastic reduction in the feeling that they get these things.
>> ALEX: Moreover, in another study, they brought in a bunch who people who had all different opinions
on GMOs, ranging from they're great and everyone should eat them to they're terrible
and no one should eat them, and asked participants to answer this question: true or false: a
gene inserted into a food can migrate into the genetic code of humans who consume that
food.
Now, if you're curious, this is false, but what's interesting is what Phil found.
>> PHIL FERNBACH: The people who are most passionate, most vociferously opposed to this, are the ones who most strongly hold this false belief.
Now, I'm not trying to imply that everyone opposed to GMOs hold this false belief.
What I implore you to do, though, is think about it. Do you know enough to hold the position that you do as strongly as you do?
>> ALEX: Woah.
So the next time you're advocating for a certain view, make sure you ask yourself to explain
the topic before you vote or tell the world.
You should, quite literally, check yourself before you wreck yourself.
Oh, and if you're still curious about how the standard toilet works: the water level
is usually low enough so it doesn't go up and then down this pipe, called the trap,
but when you press the handle, the piece covering the hole at the bottom of the tank is lifted,
allowing the water to go into the main bowl, forcing the water currently in the toilet
to go up, in, and down this pipe.
That's why you can "flush" a toilet by just pouring water in it.

K1 Fiance Visa But Don't Speak the Same Language - Duration: 2:14.
Me and my fiance I've met in person but we communicate through translation apps man
those translation apps are getting good nowadays okay so on our phone or
computer she speaks Chinese but no English well we have trouble getting a
fiance visa. Okay well technically there's no
requirement that you speak the same language but the reality is the
adjudicator is looking to determine or be convinced that you have a legitimate
relationship and so you know we all heard the old cliche that communication
is the most important thing in a marriage and and I called it cliche but
my experience is of course that is true so and and we all generally recognize
that so you're gonna have a little bit of an uphill fight here if you if your
fiance speaks no English and you I assume speak no Chinese yeah it's gonna
be a little tougher does that automatically disqualify you know again
it goes back to what we always say they're gonna look at the totality of
the situation you know your evidence all of your evidence so it's not an
automatic disqualifier but it is I would call it a red flag because you know Gee
and you know it you know how are you gonna convince a person that you have
this this deep legitimate relationship when you don't even speak the same
language again the translation tools have gotten a lot better but but still
you're gonna have a little bit of uphill battle is is what I would say it can it
be done absolutely has it been done absolutely but you need to make sure the
rest of your case is airtight and you need to be ready to explain to the
interviewer how it is that you are conducting this relationship when you
can't speak the same language. I know when I went to the interview with my
wife that's one of the first things they asked as how we communicate? how often we
communicate? you know and in what forms of media we use to communicate? and so
that's one of the first things they ask in the interview.

Conservatives don't just believe in free speech, we DEFEND it. - Duration: 0:59.
Mr. Speaker, will the Prime Minister
join me in condemning the egregious
crackdown on free speech
at Laurier University?
The Honourable Minister of Science.
Mr. Speaker, our government
is committed to creating open spaces
for Canadians to debate
and express their views.
In a free society, we may
disagree with the person's views,
but we must defend their right to hold them,
unless those views promote hate.
Intolerance and hate have no place
in Canadian society
or in our post-secondary institutions.
We will continue to fight to ensure
the charter rights of Canadians
are upheld and that every Canadian
can feel safe and secure
in their community.
The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
I don't know why the Prime Minister
can't just simply denounce
what happened at the university.

I Can't Hear You - Duration: 11:58.
Hey, so I've been meaning to make this video for literally a year.
So yeah, I'm a bit deaf.
I don't know if I'm really allowed to use that word, 'cause I mean if you look up the
definition of deaf - the 'deaf-inition' [laughs].
The definition of deaf is literally just 'lacking or deficient in the sense of hearing' right,
and I am 'hard of hearing'?
like that's kind of more accurate.
But I think that kind of falls under the umbrella term.
I don't know, I don't know if I'm like appropriating a term that doesn't fully apply to me?
Yeah, so I'm not fully deaf.
If I take my hearing aids out - I'm gonna do that right now - take my hearing aids out,
I can still hear, I can hear myself talking.
If there were any other noises in the room, then I would be able to hear them . If someone
was talking to me, I would probably be able to understand them if I concentrated, especially
if we're in a quiet room with no background noise.
I literally got hearing aids a year ago, which is slightly worrying seeing as I didn't just
develop my - like I didn't lose my hearing overnight or anything, like, this has been
a thing throughout my whole life and I didn't realise until last year which is completely
crazy.
When I was little, I used to daydream a lot and I used to just zone out entirely and like
when I'd watch the TV, I would be so engrossed in it and if anyone spoke to me I wouldn't,
like, hear them.
I wouldn't be able to like break away from that.
And like my parents just thought that I was like a bit of a daydreamer, a bit dozy, a
bit like [makes weird noises] doolally, which I am to be fair.
They used to say I was 'on Planet Emma' when I didn't respond.
I'd be watching TV and they'd say something to me and I just wouldn't hear them.
This was not just because I get very invested in media, but also because I literally struggle
to hear people unless I am concentrating on what they're saying.
Especially when I'm not wearing my hearing aids, I still have it a bit when I'm wearing
my hearing aids.
It's not necessarily that I can't hear that someone is speaking to me.
If I see someone and they're speaking to me, I can usually hear that their mouth is making
noise but I find it difficult to actually clarify what they're saying.
I kind of have to deduce it, like, decode it- translate it.
It's like I'm having to translate it into another language.
So like if someone has a really quiet voice or there's lots of background noise like interrupting
it or they have a particular accent that changes the sounds from the sounds that I'm used to
then I find it difficult to understand what they're saying, which has become especially
difficult at uni, when you're like at parties, where there's loud music, or when you meet
people with lots of varying accents.
It's rather stressful because even though I do have hearing aids- they really really
improve my hearing but they don't make it perfect, they can't fix everything.
I remember when I got them, the audiologist said to me that 'it probably won't make that
huge a difference because your hearing loss is so minor'.
It's just certain sounds and it's- I think it's the middle range, like I can hear particularly
high sounds and particularly low sounds really clearly.
Particularly women's voices and some men's voices are in the middle rand and that's why
I find it so difficult when talking to people.
I actually have a lot of hearing loss in my family as well because my Granny is deaf in
one ear and has had operations on her ear.
I don't know the intense details and I think it's very different to what I have.
And my dad also has hearing aids because, like me, he has a loss of the middle range,
and I remember, again when I was younger, he would never hear what we were saying to
him.
And again, we just thought he was a bit like, off in his own world, but really he just couldn't
hear us and we would be like yelling at him or like- when we found out that it was the
middle range that was the problem, we used to talk to him in really squeaky voices, which
obviously really isn't that helpful, but we'd be like (high pitched voice) "Dad!" in the
hopes that he'd actually hear us.
So maybe it's genetics?
Who knows?
I got my hearing aids a year ago.
I love them.
I mean, I kind of hate them also.
I remember when I first got them, they were so uncomfortable, so itchy and like they have
a little bit of static in the background - that's how I know that they're turned on - and that
used to really bug me.
And now I don't notice it as much - and like I can't even really feel them much in my ears,
like they don't irritate me anymore, but I do like crave that moment when I get home
at the end of the day and I take them out and it's like "ahhhh... quiet" because I don't
have any quiet all day because of the static.
It's kind of like, you know, when you take your bra off and it's like "ahhh...
I can like relax now".
Shall I show you them?
I mean they're slightly gross obviously because they've been in my ears.
Can I just- just focus...
Aha!
Yes!
Did it!
So yeah look it's got like a- It's literally so tiny, it's tiny you can't even see it.
No one ever knows that I have hearing aids.
It's like this little plastic thing that goes in my ear and then this goes behind my ear
and it's completely hidden.
That's the little battery that the people give me for free, and you do that to turn
it on and it makes a little noise, don't know if you- you probably can't hear that.
You can't hear it unless it's in your ear.
And it has like a little button so you can like turn it up and down but mine don't work
because they said that I wouldn't need it.
I just like click it, pop it in my ear, that goes behind it.
Literally you can't even like- you can't see it at all.
I don't know if this is in focus at all.
Have you ever seen those videos of like a blind person- not a blind person, a colour
blind person - seeing for the first time with colour?
like when they put those glasses on and they're like 'Woah!'.
When I first put these in, it was kind of like that.
Like, I remember walking to the car and hearing the rustling in the leaves of the trees and
like, when the engine started, it was so loud.
I just kept like clicking things and bring like 'Oh my god!
I can hear this!'
It was like such a surreal experience.
Also like it makes my voice sound a lot louder which is weird to get used to but like now
I don't even notice it.
When I first went into lunch at school and like obviously there's loads of background
noise, it's really loud, and it still wasn't perfect but I could hear everyone so much
better than I normally could and it just improved my life so much because I'm quite a socially
awkward, like, anxious person in conversational situations and I think that is hugely linked
to my hearing.
Like I didn't- this didn't even click until recently.
The reason why I am so like uncomfortable in social situations is because I'm constantly
translating what people are saying to me and trying to understand and that is really exhausting
as well, which is like probably why I don't always want to talk to people because I just
need a break from the constant translation.
So yeah it makes life a bit difficult, I won't lie.
Like I'm being all positive and like bubbly in this video but (sighs/groans) It's not
a fun time, like even with my hearing aids, I still struggle all the time, especially
in loud situations like, I think I would love parties and I love socialising but I just
can't do it all the time.
I remember in freshers week, I went to this party and there was loud music and everyone
was talking, it was all in quite a small space and people were talking to me, they were like
literally yelling... no clue what they were saying.
Like I can- I try to lip read, it's very difficult because- as an english language student, I
know that- like some sounds, you can see the shape of your mouth?
like particularly vowels because like 'ay - ee - i - oh - yu' - you can see the shape.
But for like consonants, it's all about your tongue position.
So you can't see that, like it's- it's very difficult to read.
I want to communicate with some more actually deaf people and like find out more about their
experiences so if you like, know of any.
I feel like I am calling myself 'a bit deaf' but really I have no idea what it's like to
be actually deaf like it's completely different to my scenario.
Another thing is subtitles.
Subtitles are my life, like, they make my life so much better.
I love watching things on Netflix, where they always have subtitles and I can always understand
what they're saying.
I'm generally okay if I have like headphones in and I'm playing it quite loudly but like
even if I'm playing it at full volume, I sometimes need subtitles because it just helps me translate
because I can just read it.
So I do struggle with YouTube a bit, especially if people just have really quiet audio and
I understand why most people don't put subtitles on their videos, I don't have subtitles on
most of my videos, because I just don't have time!
It's intensely time-consuming.
By the way, if anyone has a lot of time on their hands and wants like a hobby, if you
want to subtitle my videos, like, you can submit, like, you can submit it, I don't know
how.
Maybe I'll put like some links in the description on how to do that.
Because I really want to make my content more accessible to other people and me.
There have been times in the past when I've clicked on a YouTube video, put it at full
volume, even put headphones in when it's at full volume, and been like 'Nope, this isn't
happening today.
Sorry person whose video I wanted to watch.'
Please, if you can, make your content accessible, if you make content.
I totally understand if you can't.
But maybe just turn- like, make sure your audio is loud.
Like, unplug your headphones, play it out loud and just make sure it's loud enough,
because ther's probably a bunch of people like me out there, being all hard of hearing,
just like, who can't watch that video and that's- that's not good for you or me.
I'm sure some people are like quite ashamed of like their hearing aids or their hearing
loss or whatever but I actually- I love talking about it like- it's my favourite topic of
conversation.
Mostly because if I meet someone then I want them to know.
It makes it a lot easier if the person you're talking to knows you have hearing problems
because then they're more likely to speak louder- generally, though some people don't.
And be more understand if you're like 'What?'
like five times, which I hate doing, oh my gosh, like the amount of times I just guess
what someone's said and I just go 'Oh yeah, mhmm' and just like agree with them and like
hope that that's the right answer because I just don't want to ask what they've said
like five times again.
Also now that I'm a lot more confident and I want to talk to people a lot more than I
used to, it's just irritating when that is impaired by my hearing.
That's why I've only started to realise that the social repercussions were so much recently
because before I knew that I wasn't confident and I knew that was, like, I thought that
was the main reason why I was like that- why I was so shy and difficult- and found it difficult
to talk to people.
But now, I am acutely aware of how much my hearing affects it because there's less of
the actual shyness affecting it.
Yeah, I'd really like if more people talked about this.
I want to find more people who have hearing loss or, just like, do you have any kind of
physical disability?
Or just like, tell me about the thing that impairs you in doing what you want to do - like,
that could literally be anything, it doesn't have to be a physical thing, even, it can
be a mental thing.
I just want people to relate, so like, how do you relate to this?
I don't know anyone like me, that's a bit sad isn't it?
Anyway- If I ever meet you and I seem like I'm ignoring you, I'm probably not, I probably
just have no idea what you're saying, so that's a weight off both our shoulders.
I'll see you soon!
This has been fun, I really enjoyed filming this video.
Goodbye.

🏥 COMPLICATIONS: WHY WE CAN'T GO HOME | HOSPITAL DAY 15 🏥 (11.27.17) - Duration: 15:06.
Blow all the way out. Good. Keep going, keep going.
Blood counts are dropping so...
basically that means the Imipenem is
suppressing my bone marrow.
♬ Don't you think we're better together ♬
♬ Oh Honey ♬
♬ I think we are ♬
You do a very good exhale.
(Mary coughing)
That's the best exhale I've seen from someone ever! Ready?
(Mary coughing)
♬ peaceful music ♬
(Both) Good morning!
(Peter) Womp womp.
So, the team came in, so 6:30 this morning I had blood work and
that was to check my vancomycin level, which is therapeutic, whoop whoop,
but unfortunately
my whites and my platelets and my other like blood counts are dropping faster than we anticipated.
Okay, we're about to go to PFTs, But um...
blood counts are dropping so basically that means the imipenem that I've been on for one week is
suppressing my bone marrow.
So not ideal, but it does mean we were hoping to go home today
but that's not gonna happen because of my blood counts so we at least are staying one more day...
(Peter) See what happens, but let's go get PFTs.
Yeah, ok.
(PFT tech) Blow all the way out. Good. Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, as much as you can, all the way, all
the way, all the way, all the way, all the way, keep going, keep going, little more, little more, little more, little more, all the
way, all the way.
Good.
(Mary coughing)
(PFT tech) Ok, ready, huge breath in.
All the way, blast, all the way out, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, as much as you
can, all the way out, all the way out, all the way.
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, little bit more, little bit more, little bit more, little bit more.
Good.
(coughing)
First set done. I just did my
inhaler. My pre and post, okay, so I should probably explain this.
So um there are a few different
components to CF airways.
Of course there's the infection side of things where your lungs are battling this infection that's in the, in your lungs.
So that can cause scarring which can decrease lung function because your lungs aren't working as efficiently,
but another
component to some people with CF is like a reactive airway situation.
This is my understanding,
it's kind of like more of an asthmatic type of reactionary thing like a
bronchospasm type of thing.
Basically like a closing up of the airways.
Like constrictive?
Yeah.
So she's not getting...that's like due to infection and the CF side of things but
so like not as much air is able to get like out into the
outer
places of the lungs.
The outer places. So...
So you might hear people talk about pre and post PFTs.
So pulmonary function test pre, before bronchodilator,
and post, after bronchodilator.
Now in my recent past like in the last five to ten years,
my pre and post don't show marked improvement, so that means that I'm probably not having very much
reactive airway component, it's more just like infection
issues.
If I do my pre, which I just did and then I do my
bronchodilator, which you can either do the puffer like this or the neb, the neb makes my heart race too much
so I have to do just this one which is atrovent.
And bronchodilator is a medication that helps open up those kind of...
Bronchioles.
Restrictive airways, yeah.
I'm assuming it's bronchioles.
Bronchioles?
The broccoli in your lungs.
Yeah.
Bronchioles.
Um bronchial dilator.
Dilate your bronchioles.
Anyways, you were saying.
So um it hasn't shown, actually my PFTs have come down in the past when I've done the neb
version, so we're like okay, don't do that but um
last week for PFTs I did my atrovent before I came to PFTs and they were a little bit better.
Which they're actually down four percent from five days ago or whatever.
So we're interested to see what they are after I do my atrovent.
Basically.
Yeah, so if they were to come up
on her post it would indicate maybe a more like
chronic like
regular bronchodilator would be helpful because right now Mary just uses it when she like, as needed, right?
Right.
So, like
If she's having some of these restrictive airways, maybe something that she does every day.
Yeah, which I've done in the past.
I've done spiriva in the past which is like a long-acting
bronchodilator.
Which is probably what you'd go on again.
Yeah, that's what my team was talking about a few days ago, but
yeah, so basically we kind of got cut off because we ran to PFTs, but
we're basically in a tricky spot with my blood work because
Imipenem is treating both the achromobacter,
which I'm growing, and Pseudomonas, which the Pseudomonas is resistant to it, but we still try to treat it.
And then the vancomycin is treating the MRSA, which is in my lungs.
So right now we are on a, on paper we're on a really good
combo
but if my whites go too low then it puts my whole body at risk for even more serious,
potentially serious stuff.
Yeah.
So then there's the talk about do we try a neupogen shot which is a shot that
it's a, it's an injection which tells your bone marrow
make more white blood cells, so it's, it's kind of an option,
it's a potential option that we've talked about. There's definitely pros and cons.
It's a little outside of the box of like what...
something you'd traditionally do like so.
And then you decide are the pros
worth it versus the cons and
I've only been on Imipenem for one week so at the rate my blood cells are dropping
I might have a couple more days until they drop to like too dangerous.
But we're not sure so like we could wait and just see if they drop too far and then treat.
It's just there are so many layers.
Yeah.
So right now...
I will pause my packing even though I packed most of our stuff up last night.
We will pause, we will put a pause on that for now.
I thought last night was our last night.
Yeah.
We're just
gonna wait out, wait it out and see what happens. We're gonna recheck blood work tomorrow and see where her blood counts are, see how
it's trending, and then come up with a plan from there, but why don't you stop vlogging
so you can rest and do post here in a few minutes.
I don't know if we ended up saying kind of the end result at PFTs.
So my first set of PFTs was before the bronchodilator
and they were down a few percent from last, from like five days ago.
And then the second set was still down slightly from last week,
but it's in the same range and as we've always said they are just numbers. They can be helpful, but
ultimately we are treating the infection not the numbers.
So we're just gonna keep on doing what we're doing as far as we can with the blood counts in mind and all of that.
But it is later in the evening right now, but here's what happened earlier.
I tried to capture it on camera so what I was able to capture, here you go.
I went to the gym and had a ball.
♬ upbeat music ♬
And then the camera died, but the rest of that workout was I stood on that half ball thingy
that was wobbly and
we threw this like oblong ball from one person to the other.
Peter hasn't heard this yet.
No, yeah.
So we threw it. I stood on the wobbly thing so it was more work for like my core and everything and
it was a workout for both of us, but it was really fun and like I said before they clean everything.
Every speck of everything that I touch and other patients to keep me healthy or safer and keep other people safe as well.
But yeah, it was a really fun day in the gym, and I guess there's one benefit to staying another day.
I'll get to go to the gym another day.
And Ollie and I took a little nap in the windowsill this afternoon which was good.
I think I needed a nap to kind of catch up from yesterday.
But, I wanted to say Christmas is coming the goose is getting fat and
where was I going with that? Oh, yeah,
shipping deadlines. If you want to order any of our t-shirts
or sweatshirts before Christmas...
Sorry, nurse came in. So what I was saying was shipping deadlines for the holidays. If you want to get
shirts or sweatshirts by Christmas
and you live outside of the United States the deadline to order is today.
I know this is like last-minute notice, but because of our fulfillment centers that we use
we have to leave plenty of time for
production and then shipment, and so if you want to get something by Christmas place your order today
November 28th, and then the last day for in the U.S. to get t-shirts and sweatshirts
by Christmas is December 7th.
So there's actually a shipping tab on our online store where you can see these deadlines,
but I just want to put that out there in case you were like wanting to order something by Christmas
and you've been putting it off. Those are the deadlines and then
there's also a deadline for the rest the stuff on our store.
I think it's December 15th, but I don't actually know off the top of my head, it's on the online store.
Hey guys, I just got, oh look at the Christmas festivities in here!
It always brightens the healthcare workers day when they walk in and that's, that's pretty fun.
Do computers still do that?
I don't think computers still do that. Like back on Windows 95 you had to do this thing called...
(Mary) I don't know though. I did it through college.
You did it through college?
Okay, so back on Windows computers back in the day that you had to do this disk
defragmenting thing and
you had to like, I don't know it like
cleaned up files on your computer. I don't really know but
because your computer would start getting slower
and you'd do this defragment your disk, so anyways Mary's like "why don't you go out and get a bite to eat and
defragment your disk" and
so I just went and got some Clover and just sat.
(Mary) That shirt will be available on the online store!
Yes!
(Mary) Don't bother me, or...
"Don't bother me, my disk is defragmenting."
(Mary) Or, I'm sorry I didn't see you there, I was just defragmenting my disk.
(laughter)
And we can have like the little like windows pop up for a disk defragmenter. Didn't it show like a pie of your like disk?
But I remember like...
(both) all the lines!
Insert picture here. But anyways, everybody needs to defragment their disk every once in a while.
(Mary) So explain what that means if they have no clue what you're saying.
If you don't know what that means, Mary was using it as a reference to just kind of chilling out and
decompressing from life, taking a little break and
(Mary) Basically...
Recalibrating.
(Mary) Yes!
Yes!
Basically, Peter's just been
amazing as always and go, go, go, the last two weeks
and I just wanted him to know
that he is appreciated and he can take some time!
We're just hanging out tonight and
not too much to report, but it was kind of a
change of plans kinda day, but
you know, you just go with the flow and say
(Both) As always, we will see you tomorrow.
Sorry.
(Both) Good night!
♬
And, afterparty time with the Ollie boy!
Afterparty afterparty, hey hey hey!
Stretch!
Sorry I think I, I think I tied his leash like,
subconsciously while I was talking to the vlog.
Sorry, buddy. We'll see you tomorrow!

Why Can't You Bring Mercury Thermometers on Planes? - Duration: 2:43.
[♩INTRO ]
You've probably never tried to carry a mercury thermometer or barometer on a plane.
But even if you really wanted to, you can't in the U.S., unless you happen to work for
a government weather agency.
That might seem like another weird restriction, but there's an important reason for it:
That tiny bit of liquid metal is fascinating, but really dangerous.
Mercury is the only metal that's a liquid at room temperature, which is why it's sometimes
called quicksilver — which comes from the Old English for "living silver", not the
X-Men.
And it's especially useful for thermometers because of how much it expands when you heat
it.
It has what's called a high coefficient of thermal expansion, which means that when
you heat it up a little, it expands a lot.
So that way, you don't need to use a magnifying glass on your thermometer to see if you need
a sweater.
Mercury also forms mixtures, or alloys, with a lot of other metals very easily.
An alloy with mercury in it is called an amalgam, and they're useful for all sorts of things.
For example, if you've ever gotten a silver filling at the dentist, that's a harmless
amalgam of metals like mercury, silver, and copper.
But some amalgams aren't so harmless.
Like, when mercury comes into contact with pure aluminum, things get pretty quickly.
And you definitely don't want it in your teeth.
We make so many things — like airplanes — out of aluminum because it's so durable.
When most metals are exposed to oxygen, they rust and degrade over time.
But when aluminum reacts with oxygen, it forms aluminum oxide, which is non-reactive and
protects the pure metal underneath.
Normally, this is great.
Unless there's mercury involved.
If mercury can get to the pure aluminum, like through a scratch on the plane, it immediately
starts to react and seep into the metal, forming an amalgam.
When that amalgam meets the air, it stills turns into aluminum oxide — except this
time, because there's mercury involved, the reaction doesn't stop.
And the aluminum oxide starts to grow out of the plane like some kind of cyberpunk plant.
And the mercury isn't consumed during this reaction, so it keeps reacting with more aluminum,
and the whole cycle continues until either the mercury evaporates or there's no aluminum
left.
Which is why you don't want your old-timey thermometer anywhere near a plane.
If you have enough of it, the mercury can slowly destroy the integrity of the plane.
And even though a tiny amount of mercury probably won't do fatal damage, mercury spills have
damaged and even grounded planes in the past.
But conveniently, even if you really did want to measure the temperature on your plane,
most thermometers these days don't have mercury in them, since it's also toxic if
it enters your body.
So even though some air travel laws change over time, you probably won't be bringing
your mercury thermometer on board any time soon.
And I'm okay with that.
