Hello, Vsauce. Michael here, and today I have a brand new episode of Vsauce Leanback, a playlist that I host made out of awesome videos from all over YouTube. The theme for this one is stuff I didn't know last week, but now I do. It's fun and you can begin at anytime by clicking the link at the top of this video's description.

If you're on a mobile device, it probably won't work, so wait until you're at a computer and then you can lean back. In the meantime I'm gonna give you one cool fact and four things you can do online now, guys. Alright, first the fact. America and Europe are on different tectonic plates, and these plates are slowly moving apart from each other, which means that every year America and Europe are 1 inch further apart.

You know what else grows at one inch a year? Fingernails. What's cool about that is that, for instance, if you live in America, every time you look at your fingernails you can think "hmmm, since the last time I clipped these, Europe is that much farther away." Pretty neat.

If you enjoy deep emotional flash games, "veronica1095" sent me a list of some really cool ones. But if you prefer making your own music, check out Qwerty Beats. All you need to be a DJ is your mouse and your keyboard.

If you want your mind blown by perspective, play Adult Swim's Cardboard Box Assembler. This game is laid out on a three-dimensional cube and as you run around you can change what's up and what's down.

And finally, if you're one of those people who hate Vsauce Leanbacks because they're so long, go check out 5secondfilms. It's a YouTube channel with 775 hilarious videos, so short they're only five seconds long.

And what the H, here's a bonus. This guy is counting to 1 billion on YouTube. One number at a time, one video for each number. He's only up to about 200 right now, but let me give you a taste. Here's a good one. 23. Twenty-three. Nice.

So, what are you waiting for? Click the link at the top of this video's description to begin the new episode of Vsauce Leanback. And as always, thanks for watching.
