Hi, I'm Tom Scott. These are some of the things I've made and done. They'll probably come back to haunt me in a few years' time.

On January 1st, 2014, I uploaded the first "Things You Might Not Know" video. Once the initial rush of videos settled down, I aimed for one video a week, and while there have sometimes been guest videos and occasional blatant filler: to my own satisfaction, I never missed a week. But now, it's time to stop.
I never got to space. I never got to the ocean depths. And I never got to fly off into the sunset, harnessed underneath a helicop...

Went here when staying with Yorkshire friends, the waters gurgle in a really eerie way.
It's pronounced hiff
Is road maintenance a joint effort?
Umm.. how do you turn around? Shouldnt both sides be 2 lanes
You'dn't've been a channel if you didn't make one
12 minutes worth of mistake over 10 years is an absolute steal
Even the bathroom?!?! I’d hope so if the house does 😭
Congratulations on a decade Tom! I have grown from a teen to an adult watching you feeding my curiosity. seems a bit melancholic now. Love your work.
Eeverytime I see the thumbnail in this video it looks like a photocopied imagine of those enemies from The Binding of Isaac in trees.
Similarly, the road itself needs to be a control-system 'actor' with some motor/sensory caps for a more easily achievable robust self-driving... network. Once on an interstate, vehicles would be maintained in separation, through merges, exits and minor accidents, vastly lowering the potential for collisions, thus self-driving development glitches are less risky. Less lawsuits. The tech in the vehicles would not need to be so advanced and expensive, either. As it is, the tech in the car must be so advanced because it is compensating for a difficult open-loop in the control system - a lazy partner.
1:15 Reminds me of the fact that DC Comics rather weirdly stands for "Detective Comics Comics".
i love it though i am innately a minimalist
How is the energy GENERATED? If it is a dirty source then what is the point? How do you disconnect the fuel tax from the system which is needed to pay for road upkeep? Can these truck lanes be adapted to driverless technologies?
Why not a net?
Those cube houses don't look "stark" or "brutalist" in any way. Did you mean something else?
Enjoy the journey, my friend. Hope to see you again, thank you for leaving the door open.
Don't shed no tears. The truth is Tom has travelled back in time on 1984, he's now leading the human resistance to stop Cyberdyne Systems from activating the SkyNet. This is his final sacrifice to stop the rise of "Junk zero-effort generative AI channels". Join the resistance, together we can postpone the "Judgement Day".
Now race this with a Tesla Plaid
Please can we have more videos by Sally.

I miss you Tom 😢
The requirement of a driver and maintaining the vehicle vs making the airport larger where planes just pull up to a ramp make the choice obvious. Rule of all business reduce required man power.
i come back to this video every time i come accross this place online.
Way to show us what you were seeing!

The Wikipedia article now confirms that he was the son of Thomas Midgley Sr.
Oh cool. ProtoPods. Own nothing, etc.
fauxstalgia: nostalgia for something that never existed, or never could exist
Bet there isn't one in the poor parts of Austin.
What could possibly go wrong?
Me who is absolutely terrified of falling, even that would terrify me.
I physically cheered when I saw the helicopter. Thanks for a great 10 years of awesomeness Tom, enjoy your time to relax. ❤️
I'd want a temporary "invisible mode", where I can see the people around me, but they can't see me. Would make me feel safer walking alone at night. Then again, that option would get abused - invisible bank robbers and such.
The Arch in St Louis has an incredible rotating “egg shaped” elevator that has to rotate with the curve…it was so small inside I had to bend over slightly as you’re seated.
Where do they keep all this crap
The terrible risk to the ecocology and economy of the Great Lakes is not worth the measely few million $$$ generated by traffic this canal. Close it and have barges transfer cargo to rail between the rivers and canal. Close this vulnerability before these carp cause an ecological disaster. The Great Lakes are already strugglng due to idiotic Captains flushing bilges full of Zebra mussles and Lamprey into the fresh water of the Great Lakes. If these carp get into the Lakes they will become dead zones. Stop this before a few idiots allow their profit margins to destroy a natural wonder of the world.
WHEN THEY REPLACE REAL PEOPLE TRYING TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES....TOO MANY!!

This is actually very smart and easy to implement.
Drive a nascar car in it
Despite a lot of breadless press releases.
💡
So what would happen if someone hides some carp in one of these barges and releases them on the other side?
Is there a follow up video? What decisions need to be made?
