Hello and welcome to SciShow Tangents, the lightly competitive science knowledge showcase

0:20.4

I'm your host Hank Green and joining this week as always is science expert Siri Riley. Hello and our resident

0:27.8

everyman Sam Schultz. Hello last episode we talked a little bit about the little cursor zoo where we

0:34.4

keep our cursors at the top of our document faith seemed to have just had a big change of heart and made

0:40.8

it into a cursor prison and I don't know there's three there were three of us in there and I assume

0:46.8

that's us. Oh you think it was us. If it's just a regular kombucha over there I like no no I was not

0:54.5

when I was I get it all. So I I immediately opened the document and then I pulled I pulled all of us

1:01.5

out of there. There is a fire right now which is somewhat concerning. I pulled I just generated more

1:07.2

people and then put no science to create a little protest outside the prison and then tuna created a

1:12.8

bottle with a fire on top for a mall. And then I just showed up and freed everyone. Yeah it's like

1:21.4

what's done. We're out. You can't prison the hosts of SciShow Tangents. Yeah. What have we ever done? A lot

1:34.0

1:39.7

the prison. I'll tell you mine. Wow okay. I had this fun idea for a way to encourage people to

1:48.5

vote. I think maybe it was like you get entered into a sweepstakes or something turns out you can't

1:53.8

you can't give people rewards for voting. That's really not cool. That's that's that's one of the

1:58.6

things that people do very intentionally to manipulate the outcome of elections. You can tell

2:03.6

people to vote. You can help them vote. You can give them all the tools that they need to vote but

2:07.1

you cannot give them things in order to vote. Even even even even a percentage of a chance of

2:13.1

winning a thing. Not allowed. And I figured that out just in time. Before you went to and then I

2:20.9

was like you're right for bribery. That's a good rule. That's a good one. I think that that was

2:26.4

probably the right call to have that rule in place. I didn't think through the full implications
