I’m now 100% sure he forgot the Vsauce password

The beard is g r o w i n g

“Ok sir, but what donut flavor do you want?”

Teacher: This is a square Michael: No miss it’s a flat 2D torus

Michael has just embraced that he's a meme by now, it's wonderful.

*looks at thumbnail* _"I've only seen such raw intellect once before..."_

*hits blunt "dOnUT?" "W H E R E ' S T H E N U T ?"

The long sigh while eating the donut is like a pure encapsulation of the feeling of eating something you've craved for a month.

This entire video is Vsauce out of context gold

"We have in our centers, an emptiness and we've decided to give that a name. And we've pretended like it's a leftover thing, it's unimportant. When in reality, our very name, our very extistence, comes from that emptiness we no longer have." -Michael Stevens, in the D!NG episode "Squaring a Doughnut"

7:26 - 7:37 just a pure masterpiece

he said dong, nut, and balls in the first minute of the video. I love this man

this is deep and all but your beard is looking fine, bro

"That is a lot more difficult; or is it? Well, kind of, except not really." ~Michael Stevens, 2019

13:23 b for blue, a for aink, and c for the cide of the large square

Jake: “Hey Michael, I’ve got an idea for a fun video. Either about Donut Topology or Squares. What do you prefer?” Michael: “Yes”

i was waiting for him to say: "sponsored by squarespace"

Michael: "The donut hole actually came before the donut we know today" Me: Wow that's actually really interesting! Michael not even 10 seconds later: Humans are empty. Me: 😬

"Wow, I didn't know an existential crisis could be so entertaining!" -me every time I watch a Vsauce video

"b for blue, a for pink and c for the side of the large square."

At this point I’m not only convinced that *he knows about the Vsauce out of context videos* but that he has developed and amplified his humor in order to *fuel better Vsauce out of context videos*

Michael is funny. I love how he has a certain charm were he can take anything, and make it very interesting. He would be the fun teacher if he was a teacher.

listening to him take a deep breath after eating the donut makes him seem so much more human

What kind of monster writes an 8 with two circles?

*"The point is, Pacman lives on the surface of a doughnut."*

“Michael’s toys” sounds like something I would never touch!

0:47 Love it when he gets philosophical

Michael is gradually losing his mind and i... kinda enjoy it

Micheal got that *THICC* beard

I know this video is old and I'm sure you don't check it's comments anymore, but I wanted to thank you for what you do. Your video's are always so amusing and interesting. Today was the worst day I've had in awhile (and that's saying something), and this is exactly what I needed. Thank you

Mother of god. The pythagerian theorem bit at the end really tickled my fancy.

The ultimate vsauce "Or is it? Well, kind of except not really" 4:20

I really thought that he was gonna cut the donut into a square. I had no idea how wrong I was

Alternate Title: Watching a man eat doughnuts while talking about science

That was the coolest visual representation of the Pythagorean thermo I’ve ever seen!

*_Donut Earth CONFIRMED_*

Was expecting him to make a square donut. Boy was I wrong

Me:It's just a donut, it doesn't get more complicated than that... Michael: hold my Vsauce

4:17 Me trying to explain derivatives and integrals to a 5th grade student.

The doughnut is based off of the doughnut hole Michale: “This is an allegory for the human condition”

The longer his beard gets the crazier he gets

Vsauce: Where you can give me FREE STUFF 😃! Me: ... no

"Donut, uhhh, where's the nut?" Please don't ask me in november

*Michael is giving in to the memes.*

7:30 Fuel for "Without Context" videos

So he started with “ hey and welcome to dong” and had the segment “michel’s toys”

7:07 What kind of Pac-Man are you playing???

7:30 I’m not going to actually say anything here. Just click that.

doughnuts are called doughnuts because dough is stored in nuts

8:53 “Ok, mouth is empty” Or is it... I put a link down in the description about a video I made explaining it.

Michael, are you sure that a square is a 2D torus? It's not, as far as perimeters of inner and outer circles of a torus isn't same. I can't imagine a torus with exactly same inner and outer circles.

7:30 This is so beautiful, I'm shedding tears.

“Ooh, this one looks much nicer. That’s got a nice hole right there.” -Michael

11:48 "Oooo, Look how BEAUTIFUL it is!!!!!!!!!!"

1 minute in and I'm already having an existential crisis. never chang, michael

0:08 i love how each bite syncs with the beat

But can you cube a donut?

Love to come back to videos like this every now and then and remember how Science Dad completely lost his mind.

My doctor during my colonoscopy @7:25

He's just designed to be a meme

Sometimes I forget how funny Michael is

Love these videos because they make my brain’s cogwheels go in spinning mode. I don’t know whether this has been already mentioned and answered in the comments (didn’t go through the over 7000 comments) so here’s my comment. Flattening a torus does not yield a square. Take the circumference of the hole. It is smaller than the circumference of the outside of the torus. So if you cut the torus as shown in the animation, the top and bottom edges will in fact be shorter than the middle length of the flatted new shape, here referred to as “squared”. While having some difficulty imagining this, I dare say that it is not even a quadrilateral. You’ll have two straight lines (top and bottom from the inside circumference of the hole) and two curves formed from the opened circumference of the created cylinder which is then flattened. I’m no mathematician and also hope that my thoughts are expressed clearly. It would make more sense with a correctly animated torus to flattened plane transformation. The one used in this video requires that the shape is stretched and squashed to fit a square.

"that is a lot more difficult, or is it? well, kinda, except not really." -Vsauce

This is the quickest a Vsauce video has gotten this deep. Damn, only 1min in

b - blue a - pink c - side of the large square "Couldn't be easier to remember"

"You can't square a circle" "But why can you square a doughnut and not a circle?" "H O L E"

I havent had or craved a donut in months. Your video has given me needs I didnt know I had.

Such a blessed thumbnail

*A square squared with square squares squared on a square square*

3:58 Micheal: "Can you square a-" Me: Goes 5 seconds back Micheal: "squared square." idk micheal. Can you square a squared square?

I liked how this one came around and had a clear explanation of a puzzle's mathematical examples..

Michael is actually a really funny comedian

Michael did too much ayhuasca in the Peruvian jungle

I loved every minute of this

1:38 Yo that's a minecraft CHUNK!

Michael have you snorting doughnut dough or something, the hell was that intro 😂

LOL he is slightly losing his mind every video, I love it!

I really like how the animation part was introduced

*laughs in square doughnuts that bakers have been employing to save dough because they waste less of it

0:19 This needs to be in Vsauce Taken out of Context Edit: Why does this have so many likes?

13:22 Michael: b for blue Me: oh that makes sense Michael: a for pink Me: wait what

Pac-man cannot go through the top or bottom. Only left and right

its so just... wholesome to watch him having fun while he's doing this

*Micheal accepts he is a meme* Me: *_"I am so proud of this community"_*

*We went from landing on the moon to squaring donuts*

Funny thing about the puzzle at 5:04 is, it seems to be put incorrectly. The orange 77 should be swaped places with purple 78. It fits, but if u add up, it doesn't match perfectly, and i don't mean one side is 1 longer ofc. To explain quickly: yellow & grey below 77 add up to 78, but red & pink on right of 78 add up to 77. 😅

4:20 This is actually germane to optimizing stability in masonry. Successive rows of stone/brick should alternate such that joints are always covered by full pieces. This is apparent looking at any brick wall. But in a thick wall, incorporating front-to-back pieces, it becomes more challenging to overlap properly in all directions. It appears similar to this geometry problem, ultimately aiming to just avoid stacking joints.

His insanity grows with his beard.

Title: Squaring a doughnut Video: Squaring a square while eating doughnuts

This was WAY more interesting then I thought it would be. God I could listen to Michael teach all day. Please come back 😢

That intro part made me have a existential crisis too early in the morning

Well, THAT is a lot more difficult. Or is it? Well kind of... Except! Not really.

What kind of lunatic writes eights by making 2 circles instead of one continuous drawn couple of loops?!

1:15 "...or is it?"

best video to learn a lot. loved it!

the first doughnuts were like this ---> . but now its like this ---> o

When you pun so hard, it doesn’t even make sense.

michael: we'll talk about doughnuts 20 seconds into the video: this got filosofical very quick

remember when vsauce ate a donut out of a toilet during his "How many holes does a human have?" video
