Did you know that since our show started in 2013, we’ve shared about 7,500 interesting facts with our viewers? A curious fan asked us to count all the facts we’ve shared, and here’s how we did it: We added up all the facts from our episodes, which came to over 8,000. After removing some from a special episode, we estimated that we’ve shared around 7,500 facts over the years.
One viewer was curious about our opening and closing song. It was created by a talented musician, but we aren’t sure if it has an official name. If you have any cool name ideas, let us know in the comments!
Some viewers wanted to know about people who used to contribute to our channel. We had a great time working with them, and they’re now doing exciting things. You can find links to their current projects in the video description.
Another question was about a name mentioned in our content. Yes, there is a real person behind that name, and they’ve shared their experiences of working with us over the years.
People often ask about our set design. It’s a mix of personal items and things I’ve bought that show off my personality. I wanted it to feel like a mix between a library and a curiosity cabinet. For example, I have a vintage viewfinder from the 1940s and some books from my own collection.
Someone asked if I’m related to another popular content creator. We’re not related, but I really enjoy their work and would recommend their book.
Regarding future content, we have some exciting ideas, including a unique experiment. We’re still figuring out the details, so stay tuned!
Another viewer wondered if there are any lists I regret making or ones I really want to create. I’m proud of all the lists we’ve done, though some were tougher than others. One challenging list involved scientific names.
When it comes to selecting comments and topics, we focus on what our viewers find interesting and make sure everything is fact-checked.
One of my favorite fun facts is that cats can’t taste sweet things, which is surprising given how they act around food. Another fun fact is that lobsters have a unique way of getting rid of waste.
We come up with our list ideas through brainstorming sessions, and sometimes they match up with anniversaries or special events.
A viewer asked about our fact-checking process. Our fact-checker is super thorough and makes sure all the information is accurate by digging deep into sources.
One of the most fascinating lists we’ve created was about common things that science hasn’t fully explained, like laughter and dreams.
In our next episode, we’ll return to our usual format and talk about strange predictions from the past about the 21st century. If you have any favorite predictions, please share them in the comments. We’ll see you next Wednesday for our new video!
Think about a topic you’re passionate about and create a list of 10 interesting facts related to it. Make sure to research and verify each fact. Share your list with the class and explain why you chose each fact.

Work in pairs to fact-check a list of statements provided by your teacher. Use reliable sources to verify the accuracy of each statement. Discuss the importance of fact-checking and how it impacts the credibility of information.
Participate in a group brainstorming session to come up with ideas for a new list show episode. Consider current events, anniversaries, or intriguing topics. Vote on the best idea and outline how you would present it in a video format.
Write a short essay predicting what life might be like in the 22nd century. Use your imagination and any scientific predictions you find interesting. Share your predictions with the class and discuss how they compare to past predictions about the 21st century.
