Imagine being his daughter and asking a question about life
-
I appreciate the fact that this man spent literally 130 days to make a joke that lasted 10 seconds.
-
Who's watching in 3069 😎
-
One of many illusions of time is that I could've sworn this video came out only 2 years ago
-
False, Michael was never born. He just “appeared” one day fully dressed with a fully-grown beard
-
Plot Twist: This video took so long to upload because he had to grow his beard back.
-
14:52 I heard this story somewhere on the internet of a young person, who I think worked at some kind of retirement home, who was talking to a very elderly woman. The old woman asked the poster something like “do adults tell you about time before the internet, and how it’s dangerous? And how they didn’t have it back in their day?” The original poster, of course, responded yes. The old lady then responded with “that’s what my parents told me about electricity.” That may be my favourite example of these “illusions of time”. Me, writing this message on a computer that can fit in my pocket, could talk to someone who didn’t even have lightbulbs as a child.

"Make some time for time to control you. Be bored, miss out, fall behind, lost track of time. While experiencing only what your body can alone. You might not have the time of your life, but you'll have more time of your life." this one really hit me
-
“Sir, I just asked what time is it”
-
That picture of the man smiling with the bowl of rice is now one of my favorite pictures ever. Idk why it brings me so much joy
-
This is the Pinnacle of VSauce. Rewatch was even better. Michael, are you a philosopher poet? The team around you must also be amazing. Massive contributions to our time through your brilliant videos over the years. Wishing you the very best!
-
Everybody gangsta ‘til Michael invents his own scientific terms
-
My brain automatically read "1 year ago" I had to do a double take to realise this came out yesterday
-
growing up with no tv is way more weird than growing up without phones
-
Hearing that the people of the past, viewed the past as passed and not a thing seems like a better way to live
-
Sir this is a Wendy’s.
-
It’s funny because I was like “damn, 2016 was 5 years ago”
-
My three-year-old sister once said on a long car ride, “I’m going to fall asleep so that the car ride goes faster for us.”
-
I spent 6 months in isolation 14 years ago and I don't feel like I ever got out of it
-
And when the world needed him most, he came back....
