I know it's definitely a thing content creators do on a regular basis, but it's still nice hearing someone genuinely thanking us for our support. Haven't watched any style theory yet, but I just might once there's a couple more videos to binge. Stay safe everybody, and to MatPat and everyone else who helped make these videos possible: thank you for the effort you've put in to all these videos. They're greatly appreciated.

    I know, old video, but whatever
    Fun fact, I live in one of those dry counties (or maybe it's considered a mixed county, but we call it a dry county). You can't buy alcohol anywhere in this county and there are no bars, but restaurants are allowed to serve alcohol (some places exist here that are basically bars, but they get around the restriction by some loopholes... not exactly sure how the loopholes works, probably by how much food they serve, but they do exploit loopholes)
    But it isn't hard to buy some alcohol to bring home... You just have to go to the next county over, which isn't a dry county, and there is literally a liquor store right off the highway exit as you enter that county coming from the biggest city in my county, which I live in...

    A few theories that I had on the top of my mind.
    - Can a human live without food? purely supplements, serum, and water?
    - What does it take to create a new food? for example chocolate was originally from Mexico but there is such thing as Swiss chocolate.
    - Is natural food really better than processed food.
    - The most useful food in the world? my guess is either potatoes or corn.
    - Food classification. For example the watermelon is a fruit that doesn't grow on trees and is also a berry. Why?
    - Can you copyright a dish? Can you be arrested for making a copyright dish?
    - The truth about the food pyramid. Apparently it has some updates now.
    - Food and its carbon footprint. How can we reduce it and which food has the least footprint?
    - Can you really eat anything you want as long as you exercise?

Meanwhile, in the Americas, the Incas established a huge empire near the Andes Mountains while the Aztecs established the Aztec Empire in central America. So in reality, the "Dark Ages" weren't really all that dark. It's just that little was documented during that time in Europe, and the region was decentralized.

      @@kristofferadrian7377 Yeah, you're basically correct, but sometimes it's been referred to other states outside of Europe. For instance, in the video, MatPat said something along the lines of "one of the most unproductive times in history," which isn't specifying Europe.
