Dear patrons, we just released a new MinuteEarth Explains video, featuring the one and only Watson. In this one we learn that for pretty much every action we humans take, there’s an unintended consequence we didn’t see coming.

Hopefully you'll like it! And maybe we can get Watson to host again, hahaha.

This is a non-paid post.
