Big "crap" mayor..
An *occasional* joke in an otherwise played straight educational video really helps to hold the viewer's attention. Nevertheless, there really is such a thing as "gilding the lily."
There's petty, there's spite, and then there's THIS.
Talking about spiteful pettiness the ALthe algorithm hahahahahaha , the best description
This video would be so much better if it weren’t for all of the cringe humor. It reads like /r/fellowkids
I broke out laughing when he said to zoom
im specifically not going to ever check out curiositystream just because you spam their fuckin advertisements on ur videos
god damn, these videos get less interesting and more annoying when trying to watch more than 1 in a row because you fill them so full of fucking advertisements, might just block and unsubscribe
Annoying narration accompanying an otherwise somewhat interesting video.
Imagine buying it, I own a slice of NYC, literally.
HAI: Why the Smallest Piece of Land in NYC Exists Me, an intellectual: well there has to be a smallest piece of land if there's multiple of different sizes
I could have made millions off that small spot. I would have stuck a 50 foot pole in the ground there and sold spots for advertising
“Small ex-mayor, small hands”.
What spiteful pettiness? That's typically what eminent domain comes down to. It ain't petty to hold on to your own property.
Guy has his property in New York City stolen except for less than 4 square feet and writes a cynical sign about it Half as interesting: “spiteful pettiness”
comment for the petty algorithm.
That's not owen Wilson, it's Keith Urban
Nyc is the worst place on earth and ive been to Baltimore
Wen u realize timmy turmed was real

1:22 "Gritty" LOL
3:02 LMAO
Whelp. Now I have to check if this tiny landmark is in Spider-Man PS4's map
1:09 that was a perfect joke
New York apartments: Am I a joke to you?
9 out of 10 plumbers dont reccoment submarines in the sky.
This channel has the best writers ever.
I learned about the Hesse piece of land while researching online to help me play Cities Skylines, which made me realise there's lots of interesting things about the quirks of town and traffic planning (really!). Maybe there's a source there for future vids?
When he started talking about Nebula I swear I started looking for the skip ad button
Sorry, you aren’t gonna get me to subscribe to nebula. If you want to post a video on ALthe you can.
not you using AAVE
The garbage in the thumbnail is a nice touch
The #yeet really got me 😂😂
My guess is that if there are pieces of land in New York there will be a smallest one
Yeet!
Lol
As a small person myself, the small mayor comment was Uncalled for.
Someone should put a monolith over it 🤣🤣
When the video isn't about airlines but that doesn't stop Sam from sh*tting on Newark Airport 19 seconds in.
your jokes are really good but because you keep the same tone it's hard to tell when a joke starts and ends and what is apart of the joke which takes away from how hilarious it is. I haven't laughed but I would be dying of laughter rn.
Yet, 2nd Jarrod was creepiest of all! Lol
I would have built a treehouse there
What the fuck was that
You should make some videos about how awesome Donald Trump is. It's be interesting to see how he went from successful businessman to becoming President.
Also a big pair of boobs
I'm getting yakuza 0 empty lot vibes
1:12 I swear on my life that’s Gabe from the office in number 3
0:38 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Hess interesting
9 out of 10 dentists agree that you can't have buildings on roads. The 10th dentist has has heard of the Gate Tower Building. It's a 16 story building in Japan that has a road running directly through it.
And I cant get someone to to install tile that lasts 5 or 10 years inside my house.
Spiteful pettiness. That sums up the Trump administration perfectly
I want the triangle
Ahhh Imagine if reddit existed in the 19th century r/pettyrevenge hahaha
Gotta love the rotten apple 🍎
You stole this from wendover productiond
Ah eminent domain. A giant middle finger from the government right to your freedom
I was able to watch the first 45 seconds, this zany snarkiness is for kids.
Hmm, you think Jared Kushner is more creepy that the chomo? What’s that say about you?
@1:55 all wrong...it would have been Voorhuis or alternatively Voorhuys (meaning, front-house) its a common name in dutch buildings for the housepart that faces a main street as distinct and seperate of the Achterhuis (afthouse) which is the part of the property either facing an inner garden or places against another building
Nobody: The entire comment section: *w e n d o v e r a m i r i t e*
The Empty Lot O_O
Pettiness 999999
The grid looks horrendous.
2:15 The proper word to use here is yoink, not yeet.
subsribe to yufeng yan
A thumbs up for 'The Dimmsday Dimmadome" at 1:57
there will always be a smallest piece of land
0:28 when you think HAI might be a liberal..... 1:10 Confirmed. Unsubscribed. Damn Communist.
you trying to be cool with the kids is weird. great content; super weird delivery
1:22 Laughs in Philadelphian
Damn that dude was petty
WHY do you feel you have to interject politics into EVERYTHING? I immediately stopped the video and unsubscribed.

Cheers to spiteful pettiness.
No the subway below 7th avenue is called the (1) (2) (3) because they run together. The 1 being local, and the 2 & 3 being express
That's Trump's favourite piece of land.
Too many jokes and sometimes it gets confusing what is a joke and what really happens. I don’t know if I am the only one but the bad jokes have kept increasing. I really love the videos and watch them but just hope if the jokes reduced a little.
5:00 "You get a *FREE* Anal subscription to Nebula!"
5:00 Annual subscription?
“#yeet” #iwanttodiethecringe
"Speaking of spiteful pettiness, let's talk about the ALthe algorithm." LOL
So.......what is the SECOND smallest piece of land in NYC. Or...what is the smallest piece of land in NYC, that is actually in "productive" use?
Is this what history videos have to do to keep the attention of young people?
2:51 - 2:55 HAI, you missed a great opportunity for a Blade Runner reference :(
Surprised this little triangle isn't more well-known SuperVinlin
Love the content in these videos but they're getting so hard to watch with the "jokes" being like every 2 seconds
5:00 Free anal subscription eh?
You should stick to the facts. Your humor is atrocious and very left-leaning. It would be nice just to watch something for a change and not be bombarded with liberalism.
I like the cameo by Gritty.
"Big mayor". Probably the best thing you can say about him.
"wet spaghetti someone threw at a map" oh, so like all of Seattle
New York : the empire states also New York : WE MUST HAVE A PEASE OF TARRITORY IN EVERY STATE
Do this series in a wendover voiceover style and you’ve got a winner
"Your references are out of control everyone knows that" |althe.info/number/y3mXioeFd6iBm7I/video
I disagree that it’s petty. They claimed eminent domain, he wasn’t buying it, the smallest piece of real estate. Tired of these eminent domain battles.
Political editorializing in a stupid unrelated video is an indication of a small pen1s.
