A history of the controversy

That doesn't even address the issue. "Some worried that this would dilute the concept of a planet". Like what the fuck does that even mean? There's hundreds of planets. Deal with it.

The Australian town where people live underground

In one unusual outback town, everything is subterranean – from churches to campsites. As the world heads for 2.7C (4.9F) of global warming, should we be heading underground?

So, men who let their hair grow long… will grow out some tits?

Low, who died aged 68, carried on making predictions throughout his life. Not all found favour. In 1929, the Daily Express reported, with some outrage, the professor was in some ways an “arrant conservative” who had declared it would be centuries before “women approach men in intelligence” and then only when they take on “men’s physical characteristics”.

“A woman doctor in Munich has just been prophesying that women who bob their hair will in time grow beards. She and Professor Low ought to meet,” the paper said.

This new feature-length video by one of my favorite creators is about faked fossils of human footprints ("faked" being why I'm posting this in History and not Pre-History). It's extremely well done and like all of his videos is 100% worth your time, so next time you have a movie's worth of time to spare grab some popcorn and enjoy:


Everything this guy has done, especially lately, is amazing and one of the things I like about him the most is that despite his videos especially in the last view years netting millions of views he doesn't do sponsors or any calls-to-action in them. He has a Patreon for people who like his stuff enough to kick him a few bucks and that's it, but it's only ever even mentioned as a link in the video descriptions.

Another channel I absolutely love, if you haven't given them a watch yet. This guy makes a bunch of little colorful squares move around and just like that, history that would've been boring to just hear a lecture about becomes interesting and comprehensible.
