    TLDW: skipped through until 25:47: the rail doesnt lengthen it just extends to the tops and sides.

    This could have been a 5 minute video. All that “Whooa”-Shots and leadup was not needed but is the American way of storytelling: Very talkative and getting amazed by every detail.

      It’s a shit title because the video us actually about metallurgy and thermite welding, not track expansion and contraction.

        I imagine this guy watching a vsauce video going “oh god there’s so much irrelevant shit”. I like that these videos are about being curious about one thing and discovering other things for it, rather than being about learninga single fact.

          If you really want the details on why, then yes

          But it doesn’t seem like you’re the person who is into knowing about why the world is how it is. So I suppose you’ll not want to know

            i think thats a bit of a damning assessment. dude just has a short attention span, doesnt mean you know them well enough to say what “kind” of person they are
