How did humans discover fire? Gold? Why do we wear rings, fear the dark, or crave sugar? Odd Questions answers the strange, oddly specific questions about how humanity figured everything out — the inventions, discoveries, materials, habits, and obsessions that built the world we live in. Every one has a story soaked in curiosity, danger, greed, genius, and pure dumb luck. We break it all down through simple stick-figure animation and a healthy dose of dark curiosity. From the first weapon to the first meal, the discoveries that made us powerful and the ones that nearly wiped us out — if humans did it, we want to know how it started. No fluff. No filler. Just the fascinating, slightly unhinged origin stories behind everything you take for granted. New videos every week. Subscribe if you like your curiosity a little unhinged.
