    What’s at the Bottom of the Deepest Hole on Earth?

    Question: What's the highest mountain on Earth? Would you say Mount Everest? Give yourself a point. Now, let's ask the opposite: what's the deepest hole on Earth? Some smart alecs among you might be saying The Mariana Trench, but that’s wrong. There exists a hole so deep that it exceeds the deepest depth of the famous Mariana Trench, and shockingly, it was dug out by humans! However, what they found at the bottom no one expected. What did they find? How deep did they go? And how deep have we dug before? Let's explore some of the deepest holes on earth, and what lies at the bottom of them!   Our Sponsors: * Check out BetterHelp and use my code betterhelp.com for a great deal: https://www.betterhelp.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    The Soldier Who Didn’t Know WW2 Ended

    Back in 1974, a Japanese college dropout called Norio Suzuki heard a rumour. Apparently, on a lone island in the Philippines, far out in the dense jungle, was a Japanese soldier – a lieutenant no less - who’d been there since the end of World War 2, that’s almost 29 years at this point - refusing to surrender! Initially, Norio brushed this off as a hoax – if he’d been missing for that long, he must have been declared dead! Plus, there was no way someone could survive out in the jungle for that long. However, he did some research… the lieutenant, by the name Hiroo Onoda, had been missing since the war ended in 1945 and declared dead … in 1959. That was odd – it was a suspiciously long time to wait to declare someone dead. So, he must have been seen alive at some point. And if he’d survived that long… what was to say he wasn’t still there? Inspired by this wild legend, he decided to take matters into his own hands, and embarked on a daring adventure to find the lost soldier and bring him home! But it wouldn’t be that easy… not by a long shot. So, get ready, because we’re about to take one heck of a deep dive into the story of a man who fought for nearly 29 years after World War 2 had ended.  Our Sponsors: * Check out BetterHelp and use my code betterhelp.com for a great deal: https://www.betterhelp.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    North Korea’s Craziest Laws

    Of all the countries in the world, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, more commonly known as North Korea, might just be the most mysterious. Nicknamed ‘The Hermit Kingdom’, it’s famous for its isolation and independence, but also for its shocking lack of human rights. Because it exists under the iron-fisted rule of a dictatorship, headed by Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un, its laws are some of the most extreme in the world. So, with that in mind, let’s expose some of the craziest laws that’ve ever been enforced here, that we know of…  Our Sponsors: * Check out BetterHelp and use my code betterhelp.com for a great deal: https://www.betterhelp.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    In 1804, the world population hit 1 billion for the first time ever.

The curve isn’t just rising, it’s accelerating — and all those people have to live somewhere.
