And god knows there would still be a cockroach that survived this walking around…

How did the other half of the planet get changed into gold? Did he slip twice
Comment from : Joseph

Literally explaining magic
Comment from : BlubyBoomer

Is it just me that likes to imagine that the narrator is just a talking duck?
Comment from : Gaming kid

I leant nothing
Comment from : Sonci Sonnci

So if Midas falls we all just die?????
Comment from : Ancient Cookies

Never have I learned so much by watching the horrible hypothetical deaths of cartoon birds
Comment from : Andrew Baldwin

I learned that gold ducks are pretty cool!
Comment from : TheSemiAquaticDinosaur

Where are the boundaries of what Midas "touches" though? Technically that means only the atoms in direct contact, otherwise touching anything will always turn the entire planet into gold
Comment from : Sebo

note to self: to explode a city, turn it into gold 🌝
Comment from : cashie

Why does the thumbnail kinda look like the Firefox logo😂
Comment from : Will I Am Verbruggen

Comment from : Cool Noob

Ferb, I know what we’re gonna do today!
Comment from : RoboWolf404

I think they get ideas from 2 science lover boys talking in class
Comment from : Pro Innu Gamer

I learned to never let Midas stumble on the Earth
Comment from : Fung Ho Ching

Fun fact: the monkey in the intro always holds something different
Comment from : Xaven_

What I learned: Thank god Mida didn't slip
Comment from : SpyNix07

Good thing that King Midas is dead so that none of this would even happen and that none of us would die
Comment from : Rhonda Calvitto

so you not gonna tell us how much it cost
Comment from : TooMuchLean

I was watching their 20M video and accidentally clicked on this without realizing and I thought they for real jabaited us lol
Comment from : Spideybro213

I don't think im the first to notice but i love the ape in the beginning near the bottom that has a different object depending on the subject of the video, its allways fun to see what he has in each episode
Comment from : TREVORTHEGOBLIN1987

The thing I learned is what would happen if the earth was made of gold
Comment from : DiamondDoggo123

So you're telling me Midas could destroy planets?
Comment from : AmbientTrash

Imagine this in a mythological perspectivebrbrDionysus just caused Midas to make gaea explode, implode or drown and get covered with water slowly baking or boiling
Comment from : Queen Titania of the fae

what about caves and cavers?
Comment from : Drayton kohle

Comment from : Clare Barr

Is the narrator an AI voice ?
Comment from : Hadrien-Ilyas Haloui

Comment from : • Kookie Plays•

For some reason I laughed at the "in an instant, basically all of humanity gets smashed into red puddles"

Comment from : Andeeboyy

The Midas touch always has been and always shall be a CURSE xD Glad to see it still holds up today
Comment from : Addison Martinez

Umm I GUESS dont turn the earth into gold
Comment from : Just for fun later I will start

what if the earth took a year to implode, effects will be downgraded but survivable, there will be no shock or effect other than the one that the earth is now smaller and shinier
Comment from : RageFurnace

The irony of all this is that just after this event, gold would become worthless and there would be nobody left to see their wishes being actually realized
Comment from : Vedant Kale

The second scenario is really neat as a sci-fi concept A planet of pure gold floating in space cause it imploded during transmutation and basically ejectedin outer space everything that was on it is a very stylish apocalypse
Comment from : Prof Toast

This would make a good movie plot
Comment from : Red Rover

It’s MAGIC!😂!!😂!!😂!😂!😂😂😂!😂!!😂!😂!😂 NOT science
Comment from : Brittney Demma

Good thing magic doesn’t exist!
Comment from : PlayerEngineer

Summary: we will all die if this happens regardless of what logic is followed
Comment from : MagicalHikari

I love how scientifically morbid this channel is
Comment from : Bodacious H

What i have learned-Gold is not everything
Comment from : Branimir Georgiev

I learned to not let Midas stumble also this is a joke!
Comment from : Emma Bonde

WHY MUST YOU INCLUDE THE DOGGO KURTZGEZART?! NOW IM DEPRESSED BECAUSE IT DIEDED!
Comment from : Yutyrannus hauli

the lesson that this video gives us is do not, under and circumstances turn the earth to gold xD
Comment from : FrenZy _1

Why do you always kill your birds the most morbid ways?
Comment from : HansvonFlammenwerfer

I expect question be answered in different ways For example: Let's assume things transfer to golf with different speed: 1m/s or other speed that doesn't make things collapse suddenly
Comment from : Thanh Nguyen

The thing i learned was that Midas sould have had a wheelchair and 20 cm thick clothing
Comment from : Μaria Melissourgaki

I LOVE THIS!
Comment from : Daniel Garry

This is the first Kurzgesagt video I watched (a few years back) and it got me hooked Its still my favourite video on this channel - there's something about it that makes it a really enjoyable watch Can't exactly pinpoint what that is
Comment from : Samarth

Could you make a video about how to terraform pluto
Comment from : The Robotboy

Can we have just one episode where a bunch of innocent ducks dont die?
Comment from : Yicheng Li

kurzgesagt motto: look at this thing, its really big!
Comment from : MysteryFox

If midas touched earth all building including the all the humans and water must turn into gold because we are part of earth brExcept from those who are above the ground
Comment from : Anonymous Anybody

Comment from : eVex

what if the oceans turned into gold?
Comment from : Dalene Sheana Valdez

I’m a kid and I learnt a lot
Comment from : Alicia Gomez

For a sec I thought the thumbnail was the firefox logo
Comment from : Tricky Vic

But why does it turn the whole Earth to gold when he falls? He's not touching the Earth really, just a layer of grass & some loose dirt grains or solid rock between the grass blades Only a small patch of ground should turn
Comment from : Tamara Smith

2:25 makes no sense the duck is 33× more heavier midas cant lift that much weight bruh 💀
Comment from : Placid Gomes

1:38 he said a very dead midas 💀
Comment from : Placid Gomes

Comment from : LeoMC 1779

The lesson: don't practice sorcery or any other kind of magic
Comment from : Daeton Warren

Capitalism is essentially the Midas curse Capitalism turns the Earth into commodities for gold There aren't any hypersonic winds, but everything dies and the gold is left in little piles
