It’s not everyday you can bring up Youtube and learn about eliminating poop splash… well, maybe it is. You can also learn about fire tornadoes, muzzle flashes and why you didn’t die at birth thanks to the unique perspective of an Alabama Rocket Scientist. Smarter Every Day is a Youtube channel that takes a try-it-yourself approach to education. It’s less of a Mythbusters meets Jackass and more of a How stuff works meets your smart engineer uncle from down south. Destin is the man in front of the camera shedding knowledge about everything from vortex shedding to cat physics and it couldn’t be more fun to watch.
