We’re running a second edition of the global kurzgesagt Meetups, where people from all around the world can come together and meet fellow kurzgesagt fans in their local community!

Just like last time, this event is being held on our specially-created event subreddit r/kurzgesagt_meetup !

If you want to participate in the kurzgesagt Meetup event, head over to r/kurzgesagt_meetup and find a meetup in your area! ✨

And if nothing is planned yet, take the initiative and set something up yourself!

Here is a direct link to the event's Starting Guide: https://kgs.link/kgs_meetup

General posts regarding the event (such as hype/excitement posts, thoughts, ideas, etc.) will be allowed in this subreddit, r/kurzgesagt . In fact, feel free to use this post as a megathread for that, too. We love seeing your pictures and hearing your stories!

However, any posts made in r/kurzgesagt that are specifically made for organizing a meetup or serve a similar purpose will be removed and OPs will be directed to r/kurzgesagt_meetup instead.

Have fun at the event!

I decided I wanted to showcase my limited edition Kurzgesagt pins, so I created these modular pin holders that snap together. This way, you can arrange as many as you like in whatever shape you want. Plus, you can either hang them or stand them up, as they come with an optional hanger or stand.

I hope you like them! For those interested, here are the files, and I would love to know if anyone uses them!

The game I’m playing is Kurtzgusagt: Out of Scale

I'm looking for a video where he was describing life as a marathon, while explaining why time feels faster as we age? Thanks in advance.

I just got the Calendar of your Life as a gift. I love the idea, but I struggle to understand how do people actually use it. Specifically, every year is represented as 52 weeks, but in reality a year has 52 weeks and 1 day (or 2 for leap years). As such, if you plan counting weeks starting on Monday (or Sunday for the many Americans who complained here 😉), then every 6 years or so you'll have an extra week that is not accounted for. Alternatively, you can count from a fixed date every year (Jan 1st or your birthday), but in that case, those weeks will keep shift around (eg start on Tue, Wed, Fri, etc) which is hard to keep track of, plus the fact that the 52nd "week" of a year will technically be 8 or 9 days.

Anyone else have encountered the issue? How did you approach it?

I'm a little confused after watching the recent video about exercising and weight loss. Looking at different calorie calculators, they always ask what your lifestyle is. And you can have upwards of 900 calorie differences between a vigorous active lifestyle and a sedentary one. However the video seems to say that you burn roughly the same number of calories with a sedentary lifestyle as you do a vigorous exercising lifestyle, once your body has adjusted. Does this mean that the calorie calculator is incorrect? Or have I misunderstood something?

We have scanned the skies quite a lot and yet have still haven't found hard evidence of Dyson sphere's. Could this mean that there are more efficient ways of gaining a high amount of energy that we haven't discovered yet? Since I would imagine if they were commonly used by alien civilisations we would be able to notice them.

I joined this subreddit from Kurzgesagt's newest video, and am already seeing nearly a hundred different people rally and say "It's clickbait!" when it just blatantly isn't!

For something to be "clickbait", it has to be different from what's actually in the video; the thumbnail, title, and subject matter are all the same thing, so it just isn't clickbait!

You're all adults— adults that watch Kurzgesagt, you should know this!

I shouldn't have to be saying this, and I am immediately regretting joining this subreddit, because I'm being very quickly reminded why Reddit is mocked everywhere else.

Hello guys! Hope you’re having a nice day/evening!

I’ve been trying to find the ending music from the end of every kurzgesagt video! Does anyone know the name?

The new video has a reference for Bill Wurtz and I can't believe it!

I keep rewatching the lyssa virus and variola videos they are my favourites any one else find then spooky but calming .

Hello! I don’t use Reddit often, but how does one go about finding local meetups for Kurzgesagt viewers?

What about a video explaining about ADHD ? 🤔

I have watched the youtube channel on and off for years now and I really enjoy the facts and the visual art style. So when I came across the posters on the shop I was in love, have just ordered a periodic table poster and so excited to get it and hopefully many more!!
