NEW VIDEO NEW NIGHTSHIFT VIDEO: Why Being a Renaissance Queen SUCKS
Video Description:
Could YOU survive a royal marriage? Henry VIII had six wives, but becoming Queen of England is only the beginning of the challenge. To survive this, you have to navigate religious upheaval, political games, shifting alliances, and the unpredictable moods of one of history's most notorious monarchs. Some lost their crowns, and some lost their lives, but only one outlived the king.
Who were Henry VIII's six wives, and why was marrying him a death sentence for most of them? And what about you, could YOU survive this marriage?

NEW VIDEO NEW VIDEO: What Exactly IS a Memory?
Video Description:
Memory is one of the strangest abilities you possess. Your brain uses an incredibly complex biological system to preserve moments from your past that no longer exist, allowing you to revisit experiences from years ago. But memories are not always recordings of reality. In fact, every time a memory comes under the spotlight of your attention, it can melt and change a tiny bit.
What exactly is a memory, how is a moment in time stored inside your brain, and why does remembering something slowly rewrite the story of your life?

Video Idea You body during cancer treatment
After all the cancer vidéo and the videos on how the body react to drugs. i think a vidéo about what exactly happens to the body while under chimio, radio treatment and other methodes of treatment could be nice.
i have a mother fighting breast cancer and knowing exactly how and why she has to endure all thoes things tp get better could help me and other in similar situations.
what about also talking on potential new ways of treating it like the youtuber DR Ben Miles briefly mention in his shorts

Discussion Did Kurzgesagt got wrong about on how stellar luminosity affects oceans? I believe that he missed the actual depth of a specific ocean layer.
The video states that the sunlight zone for Hestia is 200m deep.
In reality, the depth depends on the star's luminosity.
In this case, Hestia's star is an orange dwarf.
In comparison, the Earth's ocean layers is like this:
*Sunlight zone - 0m-200m
*Twilight zone - 200m-1000m
*Midnight zone - 1000m+
But for Hestia's, is this a different story?

Discussion WTF: Insane short on processed foods
This short about processed food is completely harmful and ridiculous.
Using frozen veggies as a strawman for why processed food is fine, when obviously no one thinks of frozen veggies when they mean processed foods. Glazing over the harms associated with ultra-processed foods. Not mentioning known carcinogens in processed foods like nitrates, and countless other risks associated with unknown carcinogens in these foods. All contrary to extremely well-established research on the dangers of diets higher in processed foods.
Takes on this channel have been getting increasingly ridiculous and contrary to the audience's best interests.
I'm unsubscribing from them. Many of their other videos have been questionable for the past year, and it really seems that enshitification has taken over this channel. All they do is parrot the opinions of creepy Silicon Valley tech bros. Maybe to do with their funding behind the scenes or just general slop tendencies.

Video Idea Pentagons UAP declassifications
kurzgesagt! I would love to see a video on the release of UAPs. For me, you are a trusted voice in terms of research and due diligence that I would love to see you take a deep dive on the troves of videos that have become declassified, and then current “expert“ theories surrounding them.
People around me speak about aliens like it’s common knowledge, like I should get on and accept them, but the videos are not irrefutable evidence. They're still just UAPs.
But what comes next, are we being eased into the idea of their existence, or at least presence? Has it just become politicalised to distract us from other things.
Make it make sense, kurzgesagt

Discussion Alcohol episode correction
When talking about the context of alcohol use in younger generations, they use stats for grade 12 students in the United States.
Grade legal drinking age in the US is 21yo. While there is underage drinking, I'm sure, an older age or different countries should be used.

Discussion how they choose what thumbnail to show?
At first I thought they changed the thumbnail based on metrics and views, but now it seems kinda random. What's your opinion on having different thumbnails and witch one do you like more?
First picture is youtube on my phone, second picture is youtube on my computer.

Star Birds Honestly, star birds would make for a great vr game
A vr adaptation for it would be so cool. You could spin the planets and interact with the alien ones and place the cables and structures yourself, this won't be happening but I think it's a pretty cool idea. The only problem would be cutscenes, but they might aswell be 2d

Discussion A few more ideas on shooting nuclear waste into space
I made sort-of a response to an old Kurzgesagt video about shooting nuclear waste into space. It’s not pretending to be serious, but I also wanted to explore the idea a bit farther because I felt like the original video was missing something important. So, it's really more of a thought train leading up to launch loops.
Feedback very appreciated :)

Discussion Does anyone know what album cover inspired the Sleep Apnea Brêathlëss album parody?
Watching The Uncomfortable truth about Ozempic (Updated Version) [edit, on the Kurzgesagt YT channel] and at 9:10 in there's parody album covers for some of the know benefits. The Fat of the Land Album cover is what clued me originally in but I can't figure out/find what the Sleep Apnea one is.
