– Yes, I messed up a video title caption
– No, thermal turbines DO spin thousands of times per minute. Wind turbines don't, but I wasn't talking about wind turbines in that sentence!
– I might have butchered the toaster explanation again but honestly at this point just go look at Alec's video, it's better
This is the accountability we're missing in parliament
This video fails to mention what Scott pulled off back in 95'. Twas truly a historical event that just happened to be left out
I've literally never watched one of these videos before so I'm not sure why this was the video youtube recommended to me but I found it very entertaining and am impressed by your attention to detail and effort to correct yourself so I guess youtube got it right. Happy holidays everyone
Not sure if you intended this, but just as Jeremy Clarkson said "Time for a break", the video had an ad play.
This is why many people don't understand why making a video about a very specific subject can take so much time. I also like to be completely right and research on such subjects takes a shitload of time, especially when things are a bit sketchy or hard to find and you are the person who already knows quite a lot about the subject but have to do that research to avoid pitfalls like Tom experienced.
Glad I don't have an upload-schedule. When a video is done, it's done, otherwise, it's not.
What a king lmao!
More lies propagated by the PRT. Use a bike it’s faster!
Although you will burn through a few gear cassettes
Lots of love Tom. Your videos have been a real staple to me and to many others I’m sure. It’s been an honor to partake in this portion of your human experience. I wish you only joy in whichever endeavor you take on next.
i cannot believe you got us with the ad bit again
Wait what the hell?
The Gandhi bug is a collective false memory?
That's the most shocking thing I've heard this year!
Only 12 minutes? I've made more mistakes today.
If he dıdn't make a mistake on this video he should correct it on another video saying that he did not make a mistake on this video🗿
Are you living in Warsaw now?
I hate that when it said "time for a break" a bloody YT ad played haha
great video idea, everyone makes mistakes and they are the very thing that makes us learn.
Loved the ad timing 😂
More than anything, I'm surprised you never have played Civ
This man is about to destroy Tom Scott's career.
@6:15 "Shutting down" means different things to different people. Locking up shop for the night isn't the same thing as "shutting down" my business. Maybe in your dialect you'd call it "shutting down" to be closed for the weekend or maintenance or whatever else, but that is far from the universally accepted most common meaning across all the English speaking world.
The Ghandi bug was totally a thing, at least for inclination for using nuclear weapons. And the developers embraced it in future versions as kind of a running joke in the series.
5:48 What are those two doing behind Tom?
5:45 wrong again, turbines spin thousands of times per HOUR, not minute.
akshually at 5:44, wind turbines this size usually don't rotate more than 100 RPM
It's important to send a valid message, make viewer brain think about some concept. That's what every your video does. That's the point. Theese are not mistakes, theese are typos. We can discuss about each word if it could be switched with other one.
Interesting how two of my favourite informational Youtubers that live in England got something wrong about Trident missiles in videos released several years apart for very similar reasons and made a video correcting themselves afterwards
omg i cant believe the amount of such simple mistakes Tom has made. Like really you didnt know what Tachycardia is? I thought everyone knew what tachycardia is.
It can’t be just me that when Tom started talking about ad breaks, I got one… right?
Martin Luther this man is not.
It's not the factual mistakes that made me stop watching. It was the other ones.
Scratch that! Reverse it!
The mistake in this video is that you probably forgot at least one tiny mistake you did what would make the video and the title false. You re welcome.
I admire your word.
