Guy Reveals 12 Things That A Lot Of People Thought Happened Years Ago, But Are In Fact More Recent

Humans are stupid. Thank god I’m a homo sapien

Tectonic plate theory and such were much older. Mass acceptance and education, not so much.

This is not true/factual.

I call BS on this one, at least in the language. The theory of plate tectonics was first postulated in 1912, however, it did take almost 50 years for it to be accepted. Volcanology as a science has been around since the 19 century and has been pretty spot on with the theories, though technology didn't exist to prove it (crust, mohorovicic layer, mantle, core, etc.) until the mid 20th century.

Plate tectonics was only demonstrated in post wwii when submarines started picking up magnetic anomalies along rifts. This brought back Wegner continental drift hypothesis, and then it was 10 years to fully buid and consolidate the model.

Thats not fully correct: It was only the state of Appenzell Innerrhoden that didn't allow women to vote until 1991. The canton was then overruled by the constitutional court after women filed a lawsuit. But we still were freaking late to the party by only introducing it in 1971 - It even had to pass a peoples (men's) voting.

Wow! Woman still can't go for a walk alone at night without being scared of being attacked! 2021!

"After 100 years of feminist struggle, on 7 February 1971 Swiss women won the right to vote and stand for election."

You are only surprised by this if you have a penis.

1971, get your facts straight.

…these comparisons are killing me LMAO

That is because they didnt have a space telescope powerful enough to confirm what they knew from Physics from before then

Kind of misleading, but yet not so...they key word is "confirm". We knew exactly what was at the center.

I never understood how people can say: "Oh look, there's the milky way!" How can you see the milky way in the skies as a blurry, white field, if you're actually in the middle of it?

I am always impressed when a physicist tells me that he has "confirmed" ANYTHING about physics. My professor of physics said in class one day that the ONLY place that a "law" of physics works is RIGHT HERE ON EARTH. What happens on other planets is open to conjecture and "forget" about other systems, galaxies and don't even think about the "laws" of physics at the center of ANY galaxy.

Well i mean DNA is insanely complex, so although it is the 2020’s, I’m glad we got this now rather than later

I’m guessing COVID accelerated this research.

This is getting stupid. The vast majority of our DNA is non-coding. And...given each human's DNA is distinct, why would we care about "one human's full DNA"?

First one I'm not surprised by.

This is not true.

He also used first time his own maneuver only when he was 96 in practice, when he saved female resident in retirement home where he was.

Heimlich Maneuver, is trademarked, if you make money off teaching it (eg: first aid courses) you have to pay royalties to the Heimlich family. When you take first aid, they call it "abdominal thrusts" or they have to pay

It was sure great of Heimlich to copyright that maneuver so that no one is supposed to be able to talk about it without handing him money.

The Heimlich maneuver is not recommended treatment anymore.

A lieutenant sitting across from me in a US Army Mess Hall started to choke on our Easter ham. The Padre, a Major, was sitting next to him. I saw the LT waving his arms, hitting the Major in the face. The Padre jumped up, grabbed the LT, and "Heimliched" him. The ham flew out of his mouth and all ended well. This was 1977/78.

The 'Live Free Or Die" state. Those New Hampshirites ain't kidding.

Federal law, US Title 49, chapter 301, 1968, mandated the installation of seatbelts. In 1984, New York state said, "We can make money ticketing people who don't wear them!" and there we are. Clarifying on this b/c we had seatbelts by law waaaay before 1984.

This is acutally false. 1984 was the first time they mandated DRIVERS, but children were mandated before. In New Hampshire anyone under 18 must be seat belted, but adults have a choice.
