- Welcome to Good Mythical More.
- Motivational Speech.
- Oh.
- Gotta give a motivational speech
to a very specific person.
The next regular person
who becomes a viral meme.
Ooh, unintentional fame.
- Hey, listen.
You're famous, that's the first
point that we need to make
People know you, they love you.
They're laughing at you.
Yes.
And why?
Why are they laughing at you?
- Well, because of that thing you did.
That thing you did on the camera.
(laughing)
On the video.
(laughing)
That very general thing that
you, regular person, did
that now everybody's like,
"Hey, did you see that thing
that regular person did?
"That whoa, it's so cool.
"Maybe we should share it with everyone."
- Everyone.
- And now, for the rest of your life,
when people see you in public,
they're gonna be like,
"Hey!
"You're the regular guy
that did that thing,
"that I remember back from 2019."
- But it's only on TikTok.
So, only like E-boys and
girls are gonna really care.
- Right, yeah.
- Okay.
(laughing)
- E-boys!
- Tech No, Tech Yes.
- All right.
- How does this work?
- So, I've got a bit of a
competition between you two.
I'm gonna give you a tech fact
and it's up to you to determine
if it's technically true or not.
- Technically true?
- Yeah.
So, some of these are common myths,
you might think they're true,
but they're not actually true.
It's up to you to use your knowledge
of the tech world to determine
whether you think it's true or not.
- Vast knowledge of the tech world.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Link, did you know that
you almost got a clean
sweep on that game, but you know,
you ended up in last place.
- Really?
(laughs)
- Because I actually went
ahead of you by one point
in the last round.
- Yeah, I didn't know that.
So, thanks for bringing that back up.
- Can we linger on that for a second?
(laughs)
- Yeah, that's nice.
15, 16, 17.
All right, let's ask
the first one and then
we're gonna sign this piece of memorabilia
that we're gonna give to
a lucky person at random,
that's a member of the
Mythical society third tier.
- It's exciting.
All right.
So, I'll ask the first question.
So,
True or false.
Charging a cell phone battery overnight
can ruin the battery.
- Yeah.
- Is that yes or just tech,
I'm gonna say.
- Yeah.
Yep.
- I do it every night.
- Well and most people do.
But, now there's like the option,
the built-in governor option,
that like only takes it to 80%.
- No.
- So.
But, I'm going with just in general,
if you don't have that built-in governor.
Yeah.
- Stop trying to impress him with your
built-in governors.
- It's working.
(laughs)
- But, is he right?
- So, you both have your answers.
The answer is that it is false.
- Yes!
- Generally electronics now are powered
by Lithium batteries.
- Hold on, yeah.
So, hold on.
- And they assume they're
gonna charge it overnight.
- It's a smart battery,
it won't damage itself
being plugged in.
- So in other words, yes is right.
- You said yes it will damage or?
- Yes it will damage.
- Oh, so it's, no it won't damage.
- Oh!
- Right.
- Yeah, what about that built-in governor?
- You were technically wrong.
- They all have it.
- [Producer] Rhett's not
used to having a wrong
answer so, it's very confusing for him.
He's really laid out.
- Okay, let's sign this.
- What do they say about
battery health though?
People are like don't.
- So, batteries generally
have a limited number of
times they can charge up and down.
Like in a discharge number.
But, that's not affected
by if you charge over
and over, like overnight.
It will bounce off that 100% naturally.
So, you can charge up overnight and
that won't do any worse than
turning it up in the morning.
- When you have a Tesla,
- Yeah.
- Do they, do they tell
you not to charge it 100%?
- Yes.
- Because I got a E Tron,
and they told me to go to like 80%
- Same, yeah.
So, if you charge up the Lithium Ion cells
all the way to 100,
that's not a great state to sit in.
So, like your smart phone will bounce
off of a 100 back to 90
whatever and back to 100.
The car doesn't do that.
- Why not?
It seems like an easy thing to install.
- Discharge from a car battery seems,
I mean it seems like it
should be able to do that.
But, for now 80% on the car.
- C'mon Elon!
- Mythicalsociety.com, get yourselves.
That's the best composed
selfie I've ever taken.
- It's incredible.
Without a view finder.
Good work.
- No view finder.
And it was burnt!
- You can tell by the look on my face
that I didn't expect
there to be a picture.
(laughs)
- All right, what's next?
- This is not gonna work.
- All right, here we go.
Private or Incognito mode browsing means
that you're anonymous online.
- Anonymous.
Anonymous online?
- Yeah.
- There's no way.
- Yeah.
Yeah, you're anonymous online.
- No, no.
- I hope.
- No.
Nope, you're supposed to be,
but not really cause you know,
- Yeah I'm saying yes.
- Dark web!
When in doubt, just say dark web!
- The answer is no.
- Oooh. Everybody watching is scaredt.
- It depends on your
definition of anonymous.
But, you know the website can still see
that you're on it.
Here's the official answer is,
enabling private or incognito mode
may hide the sites you visit from
your web history,
but it doesn't hide you
from the web entirely.
It means the sites you visit won't
go in to your history and
log into your accounts
and have the same cookies that you would
if you were not in incognito mode.
But, you're not completely invisible
or incognito like you might think you are.
- What about with a VPN?
- Even better.
Because then you can sort
of trick it into thinking
you're different from
what you actually are.
- So you should do incognito and VPN,
when you visit the dark web.
- But what do we have to hide?
- You know you might be
gift shopping for someone.
- Yeah.
(laughs)
- That's why we do incognito mode.
- Exactly.
- I don't want my wife to see my history
because of the gifts that
I might have gotten her.
- All right what's the next,
so I've gotten two you've gotten zero.
- Yeah.
So far.
- Since I'm winning, can
we have the score up?
- Hold on, I thought I got that one right.
- You didn't.
- No, no.
Wait, what did you say again?
You said different answers,
but I forgot which ones.
- I said that you are not.
- Yeah you got that one right.
- That you are not private.
- You got it right.
- So if you agree with the statement,
you say yes.
- Okay.
- Right?
Is that how we're playing this?
- If you think the statement
is technically true,
how about that?
Then you say yes.
- Yeah, so we're tied.
- We've been playing right,
I just was trying to convince you
that you were wrong again.
- We're tied.
- All right.
True or false.
So, yes or no.
(laughs)
- Gotta make it simple for us.
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
- Russia built a computer
that ran on water in 1936.
- What?
♪ When they find out how to burn water ♪
♪ And the gasoline car is gone ♪
- And that's it?
Okay.
- There's no way.
- That's a Merle Haggard song.
- There's now the Russians have done that.
Rainbow Stew is the name of that song.
Highly recommend it.
Tells me that the Russians did not do it.
You can't make a what?
A computer run off of water?
- Powered by water.
- Russians, man, are sneaky.
They did all kinds of
stuff back in the day.
They did that thing
where they just took the
dog's head off the dog and kept it alive
for a really long time.
- Oh, that's a good point.
Yeah they did it.
They made a computer.
It's a huge computer and
it was very inefficient.
Technically yes.
- Sorry Russians if that wasn't you,
who did the dog thing.
- That's not even tech.
That's just wild.
(laughs)
Yes and yes.
- Yes.
- Yep.
- The answer is yes.
In 1936 Vladimir Lukyanov
used water to create
a computer that solved partial
differential equations.
In a photo of the computer you'll see
it used a complex system
of interconnected tubes
filled with water.
- [Link] Okay.
- Where's the dogs head?
- It was Russia.
- Oh Russia did the dogs head?
- What was that story?
- Well, I think you can
watch the video on YouTube.
- Okay.
- We're not gonna show it to you.
- [Producer] It's called Experiments
and the revival of organisms.
- They took a dogs head off,
and they kept it hooked up to like
a basically, a heart, and it was alive
for a lot longer than it should have been.
- I don't like the name
of that experiment.
- But, it was a long time ago.
- Yeah, all right.
- Don't take up for it.
- I don't want the
Russians to come after us!
I'm okay is dogs come after us.
- So you each get a point for that.
That was pretty impressive.
All right, next one.
- Now we're tied.
- Next one.
And I have experience with this.
Emptying Recycling bin on your computer,
permanently deletes the files.
Yes or no?
- Oh you have experience with this.
- Man the CIA.
- Emptying the Recycling bin.
- You got write over that stuff like 11
times to keep the CIA from it,
trust me I know.
So it does not.
- 'Cause wait we had to run that--
- [Producer] Why not with the FBI?
- No, no, I go straight to the CIA.
- Okay.
- Yeah I mean,
the FBI is like, we don't
have time for that guy.
- Well, remember when we
had to buy that software,
because we were wigging
out about the stuff
we had lost, like we had lost footage.
When bought certain like,
I can't remember the name of the software.
Well, maybe you remember.
So, our answers are both no,
that it's still recoverable.
- No, it's not deleted.
No, it's not deleted.
- Yes.
- You put it in the trash,
and then empty the trash.
And you both say it's still not gone.
- And it gives a warning and says hey,
it's gonna be gone.
- It's gone.
- And that's not even true.
- But somebody like, Marques Brownlee
can still get to it.
- You're both right, it's false.
- Yes.
- So actually,
when you clear a recycling bin,
the deleted data is still there
and waiting to be
overwritten by more data,
and is therefore still recoverable.
You might have had a
data recovery software
in the past.
That might have been what
you were talking about.
- You remember what the old
school ones were called?
- There is a lot of them actually.
I don't know what they're called.
But, I have had also experienced trying
to recover deleted files.
From Windows, long time ago.
- I think the software was called
stop freaking out and just pay us a
butt load of money.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- It's never really
deleted until you leave
the computer alone with Lucas.
(laughs)
And then, it will be deleted.
- So it can't be overwritten.
- We're still tied.
Hit us again.
- Still tied.
Closing the apps on your iPhone,
won't save it's battery life.
True or false.
- I know the answer to this.
I'm not going to.
- That's false.
'Cause closing,
- You're saying it will not.
- 'Cause closing the
apps will save battery.
- Oh save battery?
- Battery.
- Oh shoot, I was
thinking processing power.
- Processing power relates to battery.
How does it process without the battery?
- No, what I meant was
the speed with which
your phone operates.
It doesn't impact the speed,
but it does impact the battery.
So, I agree.
But I maintain that it doesn't
make your phone run
faster to quit the apps.
That is my assertion.
- Okay, well if you're wrong about that
do I get an extra half point?
- Sure, yeah.
But, do I get a half point?
If I'm right?
- We don't have that
definitive information.
- [Producer] That's not the question,
so we don't have that on the cards.
- Yeah, we'll just discuss that.
- All right.
Closing the apps on your
iPhone won't save battery.
True or false.
True.
It will not help your battery.
And this is sort of similar to
the, it's one of those myths,
where you would think closing
all the apps will save my RAM,
will save my battery,
will save my processing power.
- 'Cause it will.
- But the iPhone is smart
and the iPhone knows
what sort or processes need
to run in the background
to keep things updated.
- See. I was right,
but I said the wrong answer.
- And it will spend energy reopening
those apps in the background,
Some of those processes.
It might not show card
as being open still.
But it will continue
to run these processes
in the background.
- So basically it's closing the app,
but it's leaving access to the app
in a more convenient place for the user.
- Yeah, you can force close the app
and the process by swiping the card away.
Like we've all done.
Like when something crashes or whatever.
But things need to run in the background.
iMessage, all sorts of apps that refresh
in the background have processes that
need to start back up
every time you close them.
So, it won't actually do a miracle
for your battery to just
keep swiping apps away.
Might as well save your time.
- So there's no reason,
is there any reason to do it?
- Yeah, you can kill an
app that's misbehaving,
or about to crash,
or you don't want it open anymore.
Or it's just pulling your
location and you don't
want it to anymore.
- You gotta give me a reason to be able
to pick up my wife's phone and look
at her with disapproval
as I close all her apps.
(laughs)
Because, if I don't get to do that
I can have no victory in our relationship.
- You can just say you're closing
rogue apps that are using all her RAM.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- I'm saving your RAM, baby!
- I think we just learned something yall.
- The score is still tied though.
- [Producer] Okay, so
this is the last one.
And it's tied.
- I'm gonna say the right answer,
you say the wrong answer.
- Okay, good plan.
- True or false.
In 1956.
- The Russians.
(laughs)
- In 1956 five MegaBytes of data weighed
literally a ton.
- 2000 pounds?
In 1956.
Five megs?
- Five MegaBytes.
1956.
- Just to put that in
perspective five megs,
that's kinda like a big email.
- That's an app you just closed.
Yeah.
- A ton.
Well, they had computers in rooms.
- Literally a ton.
- Yes.
- This is either true or a trick question.
- It's either true or it's false.
(laughs)
- I think it's true.
What I'm saying about
trick question is it might,
- I said it's true first.
- It might be like oh it
was actually three tons.
Or something like that.
I'm going with yes.
You gonna have to disagree with me,
if you don't want us to tie as winners.
- The games been shift.
- Well here's the thing Rhett,
I know the right answer
and I don't wanna lose.
- Right.
So do I.
- So I'm not budging.
- Okay.
So you're both saying that in 1956.
- Oh.
Now you're making me question it.
- Five MegaBytes.
- 1956!
- Five MegaBytes weighed literally a ton.
- Could have been 1957.
Could have been 5.1 MegaBits.
- I don't know how it works,
maybe the computer weighed that much.
But did the data weigh that much?
'Cause the data might
have weighed nothing.
What is data?
Data is just electricity.
(laughs)
Well it's just zeroes and ones isn't it?
Nah, but before you get into the weeds.
You're both right.
- Oh good, 'cause I was
about to change my answer.
- Yeah, yeah.
- You almost had me changing my answer.
I was turning it as you told me.
But I didn't make it.
- I just wanted to make it interesting.
Yeah, no.
It weighed a lot.
If we're still tied, do we?
- We fight.
- We keep going.
- Oh, you got one more.
- I have another one.
- All right, the lightening round.
- Lightening round, one more.
You have to both answer in 10 seconds
on your gut.
- Okay.
- How's that?
- And we can't look at each other.
- Three, two, one.
In 2013 there was a petition
signed by 538 people
to bring back Microsoft's
retired Visual Assistant,
Virtual Assistant Clippy.
- Yes.
- Clippy?
- Yes.
- One more read and you
have to answer, 2013.
- No I'm saying yes too.
- There was a petition signed
by 538 people.
- It's yes, it's yes.
- To bring back--
- I was one of them.
- Clippy.
- I loved Clippy.
- That's a yes, that's a yes.
- It's stupid but it's a yes.
- You're both incorrect.
- That's a good lie y'all.
All right give us another one.
- No one liked Clippy.
Yeah that's the answer.
- Nobody liked Clippy,
on the whole internet.
- [Producer] This is
for real the last one.
- Last, last the voice has said it.
Email existed before the World Wide Web.
True of false.
- True.
- I'm gonna go with false.
What is email with out the internet?
- Email was the first
piece of the internet.
- Email did exist before
the World Wide Web.
- Woo!
- You had to use a computer and a rotary
telephone to connect to a
service called MicroNet.
There was a Pre World
Wide Web, so there were
no URL's just number webpages.
For example,
a web page number was 7776.
- Oh that was my favorite website.
- There was no .com
(laughs)
That's one of the good ones, yeah.
Incognito only for that one.
- Well we've learned a lot today.
- We have a winner.
- Congratulations Rhett.
- There it is.
- I get to take home my ping pong paddle.
- Nice.
- [Producer] We're
gonna need to keep that.
