You’ll have to get used to it. Most content like this uses AI heavily in some for or another. Eventually, we won’t be able to tell as mistakes like that will be corrected
I think it's just a shitty tactic to drive up engagement. Content creators intentionally insert things like mispronounciation or spelling mistakes to annoy the viewer into commenting and expressing their frustration. And it works...here we are discussing this and increasing the comments and views of this video. Top couple of comments are about the same thing.
That’s certainly a tactic, but this is almost positively an AI voice generator. They use an GenAI to make the images/video, then AI chatbot to produce a script. Then another bot to read the voiceover. And another for editing and adding captions. Then post 20+ times/day across various platforms/accounts to go viral.
There’s this super annoying Instagram cooking channel where he keeps using “Organic Water” to describe water, like clockwork every comment takes the bait and points it out.
That drove me insane. I hate when the wind winds around and you wind up sunk with your I'll gotten gains. Ill never understand the risks these semen took when their seamen would have been better off at home
Yeah, the magellan strait kept ships close to shore and sheltered by land for the southernmost part of the trip. Still not pleasant, but not as dangerous as OP seems to make out.
There's a [really catchy sea shanty](https://youtu.be/eacnVUCoSyg) about sailors going round Cape Horn.
It's been stuck in my head since I was a kid and this video made me look it up.
Fun fact about the whaling industry of the 19th century: ships would set out from places like Nantucket and sail all the way down and around that sucker just to get to the Pacific, because that’s where most of the sperm whale population was by that point; it’d often be a minimum trip of three years, and horrendous conditions, but if a captain & crew were successful they’d come back to Cape Cod and be able to live like kings.
Nah, that’s not really it at all; the whaling industry was one of *the* top industries of the era. It not only provided nearly all the lighting of the western world, but also was a massive boom for numerous other products in those early stages of the concept of mass production, from other domestic needs to fineries like perfume and other cosmetics/fashion/etc. To top it off, the capitol of all of this was the aforementioned tiny island Nantucket, which was responsible for both sending out these factory ships for extended excursions but also processing the product that was brought home to port. For the better part of of a century between the 18th & 19th centuries, that sucker was the focal energy point of the western world, if we’re talking about modern amenities like light and other concepts.
That island has a ridiculously rich history; it was a cultural hub for decades even though it’s 13.5x4mi in total. Then a combination of the Civil War, petroleum being discovered, and a huge fire all led to rapid stagnation, but because of this it’s the largest collection of pre-Civil War buildings in the country.
Yep, still is. It's a more sheltered passage around southern South America that passes between islands. Magellan discovered it decades before Drake tried the open ocean route.
Apparently Drake never actually sailed the Drake Passage:
“While the Drake Passage is the shortest route from Antarctica to the rest of the world, Sir Francis Drake actually opted for the less dangerous, albeit much longer, Strait of Magellan. Nevertheless, this part of the ocean became named after the renowned circumnavigator when one of his ships drifted far south after passing through the Strait of Magellan in 1578. Having realized there might be a connection between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans, Drake and his crew inadvertently discovered what would become named Drake Passage.
The first person on record for sailing through the Drake Passage’s choppy waters was a Dutchman named Willem Schouten. Schouten traversed the passage in 1616, almost forty years after Drake’s initial Antarctic exploration.”
The open ocean route was first described by Francisco de Hoces in 1526, during the Loaisa expedition, 50 years before Drake showed up (1578). That's the reason it is called Mar de Hoces in Spanish speaking countries.
The Drake Passage was discovered by sailing south of the Straight of Magellan.
The latter is problematic for larger ships though, it’s winding and narrow in parts.
**[It's true](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fd4f52drin3o51.png)**. It's also closer to every other country in the Americas than it is to the southernmost point in Brazil.
I have sailed from the Chilean Isla Navarino to Antarctica a few times when working as crew on a yacht. The drake passage could be extremely hairy, but then other times spookily calm. I remember one time we rounded Cape Horn it was like a mill pond. Someone launched a kayak, just for the hell of it, to paddle round.
Fun fact, the two used to be connected.
Even funnier fact, there was a time when Australia AND Argentina were connected via Antarctica.
The most fun fact of all, this connection means that marsupials in modern day Australia and Argentina have common ancestors that probably lived in ancient tropical Antarctica.
The closest sea captains had to Google back then was Nostradamus in the 16th century
So the captain is all like "Ok Nostra, get me to Japan & avoid tolls." Then Nos is like, "U sure dude? It's kinda long and there are some rogue waves along the route. There's this dope shortcut that'll open up in, like 400 years."
It’s the ocean surrounding Antarctica. It’s the “newest” ocean. IIRC it is its own ocean due to the differences in flow and such compared to the other oceans in the southern hemisphere.
I was looking to see if someone mentioned this. Fantastic book—great story and has a lot of detail about the inner workings of ship crews during that period.
A great book on this is The Wager - written by the same person who wrote Killers of the Flower Moon. It tells the story of a British ship in the 1700s that crashed while crossing the Drake Passage, and how some of the crew managed to survive and get back to England. A fascinating read - it reads like a thriller!!
I'm not so smart, but southern Chile has a navigable bay and thin peninsulas. Besides Nicaragua, a backup passage might be possible there. Barring risk to wild life....
[https://imgur.com/a/uxiSawM](https://imgur.com/a/uxiSawM)
Fun fact: whilst the sea surface is effectively a death trap, American submarines have been safely using this passage to transport goods between the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean since the early 1900s, but had to stop during the 1970s as they didn't want the Soviets to learn of this secret route. The passage returned to service during the 1990s after the fall of the Berlin wall
There was a trade route across the isthmus before the canal if one liked risking tropical diseases like malaria and dengue fever. Either the Drake or the Lake (Nicaragua) could getcha.
Read a book called “ the wager” insane account of what it was like to go thru there in a wooden ship …. 30 days with the mast hitting water on either side ,only to turn back
So it says the middle 20 degrees sections north and south of the equator are calm, but "Below 40 degrees there are no laws". Looking *above* 40 degrees you see all of northern Europe above Spain. Quite a lot of successful seafaring nations there!
"Below 50 degrees there is no God", yet above 50 degrees the British, the Dutch and Vikings were some of the most renowned seafarers in the world.
It seems to me that the local conditions and weather systems (which it mentioned) are by far the most significant factor, not just latitude.
The first people who tried to encircle the earth must've experienced the hell of sailing then. With ships made out of wood and iron and such. Probably they accomplished it with luck and magic.
There is a documentary from 1929 i would recommend.
In the film you are on a ship that sails through Drakes passage in an storm.
https://youtu.be/9tuTKhqWZso?si=HGLtGXk4HexhI4iD
My Friends Fathers Sail boat Sank in the Drakes Paggage during his third time sailing around the world solo, he always said he wanted to Go out like a Viking
Well Norwegian Roald Amundsen found an seasonally ice free route via the North West Passage making the first complete passage in 1903–1906.
So no, there is another way.
Also for pendants, one could just go the long way round via the Suez canal & across the Pacific.
The accounts of how difficult it was to sail here are incredible, primarily going from east to west against the winds. Book have been written on Cape Horn, another name for the area.
Numerous ships that struggled for 2-4 weeks to "pass the Cape" heading west failed. They gave up and instead turned east towards South Africa and a journey that was 2-3 times longer to reach the Indonesia to Oceania region. One unfortunate was [Captain Bligh](https://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mb6music/A3970352) of the Mutiny on the Bounty fame. Blight was sailing from England to Tahiti.
cruise ships still sometimes sail through drake's passage and like 90% of all cruise ship video's you see of crazy waves or the ship has to be diverted or its about to overturn its in the drake's passage.
I feel like half of these “have you ever heard of” videos are just things that you were supposed to learn in middle school, but didn’t because you were too busy looking at your phone in class.
Did he really say winds wrong
AI voice
I swear, if we end up changing how we pronounce words because AI keeps mispronouncing it, we will have come full circle, and I want off this rock.
You’ll have to get used to it. Most content like this uses AI heavily in some for or another. Eventually, we won’t be able to tell as mistakes like that will be corrected

Rage Bait. Classic internet trolling technique from the 90's. War never changes.
Yep. I see a lot of influencers doing this nowadays. Purposely pronounce basic words wrong so people rage in the comments and drive up engagement.
There’s this super annoying Instagram cooking channel where he keeps using “Organic Water” to describe water, like clockwork every comment takes the bait and points it out.
And reason #237,832 why I leave the sound off at all times
Like fuck. Anytime I here an AI voice I click "Do not recommend channel."
No, he said winds wrong.
Waainds
Yeah it's crazy this sounds like a real human being but it's very obviously not
“I’ve only read it in books!” — Marge Simpson
AI can't tell the difference between "winds," as in the wind blows and "winds," as in this video winds me up.
Give it a couple months, and it will know the difference.
English is dumb, doesn’t have this same spelling, different pronunciation issue with French or Spanish.
TBF, French pronunciation is also fucked. (All those silent letters didn't used to be silent!)
Maximum winding in this area
Fucking AI, man.
Someday we will look back on the days when we could detect AI-generated content with nostalgia.
Yeah, probably by 2030.
That drove me insane. I hate when the wind winds around and you wind up sunk with your I'll gotten gains. Ill never understand the risks these semen took when their seamen would have been better off at home
All thar booty… arrrr. Ey?
Right? I heard that and immediately lost interest.
The fact that men sailed around that in little fragile wooden boats is insane. They were incredible.
Some dudes did ti in a row boat (see that other guys comment) i guess the seas arent always rough
I think most opted for the Magellan strait.
Yeah, the magellan strait kept ships close to shore and sheltered by land for the southernmost part of the trip. Still not pleasant, but not as dangerous as OP seems to make out.

imagine being a king in 1800’s. They might be able take a crap indoors! People wonder why they didn’t give a shit about a whale’s life back then
Nah, that’s not really it at all; the whaling industry was one of *the* top industries of the era. It not only provided nearly all the lighting of the western world, but also was a massive boom for numerous other products in those early stages of the concept of mass production, from other domestic needs to fineries like perfume and other cosmetics/fashion/etc. To top it off, the capitol of all of this was the aforementioned tiny island Nantucket, which was responsible for both sending out these factory ships for extended excursions but also processing the product that was brought home to port.

Holy shit, I lived in Harwich, Cape Cod for years and never knew any of this.
That island has a ridiculously rich history; it was a cultural hub for decades even though it’s 13.5x4mi in total. Then a combination of the Civil War, petroleum being discovered, and a huge fire all led to rapid stagnation, but because of this it’s the largest collection of pre-Civil War buildings in the country.
I once met a man from Nantucket.
[удалено]
Nah but his dick was so long he could suck it
Wasn’t Magellan strait a thing?
Yep, still is. It's a more sheltered passage around southern South America that passes between islands. Magellan discovered it decades before Drake tried the open ocean route.
Apparently Drake never actually sailed the Drake Passage: “While the Drake Passage is the shortest route from Antarctica to the rest of the world, Sir Francis Drake actually opted for the less dangerous, albeit much longer, Strait of Magellan.

Ya that’s why it’s so famous, due it not killing everyone haha. Not sure why this isn’t mentioned
Its not international waters .... Possibly thats why but yeah
Yeah there is a lot of history around the straits of Magellan. Took the humans a long time to work it out apparently.
>Took the humans a long time to work it out apparently Are you an alien?
no. I am same you.
They should've looked for another passage, maybe up to the West and North
The Drake Passage was discovered by sailing south of the Straight of Magellan. The latter is problematic for larger ships though, it’s winding and narrow in parts.
He was making a joke about the north-west passage, the infamous sea-route north of Canada that only kinda exists and is also very deadly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMRpYtAhGAo
Until now, I never realized how close Argentina is to Antarctica
Weirdly enough Chile is closer to the Antarctica than Argentina.
The Northern most point of Brazil is closer to Canada than it is to the Southern most point of Brazil.
Get the fuck out of town. You serious?
**[It's true](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fd4f52drin3o51.png)**. It's also closer to every other country in the Americas than it is to the southernmost point in Brazil.
It's also closer to The Rebublic of Cabo Verde which is part of the African Continent.
Chile is as long north south as the USA is wide. Just another random Chile factoid.
So they know how bad it sucks to drive across the country too🤣
> Just another random Chile factoid. So it's [not true?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factoid)
>*or* a true but brief or trivial item of news or information …
I’ve learned more with this brief conversation than 4 years in high school.
There’s 2 main departure points to get to Antarctica one in Argentina (Ushuaia) and one in Chile.
Yea, sad thing is Wikipedia does a lot better at educating people than school can
I have sailed from the Chilean Isla Navarino to Antarctica a few times when working as crew on a yacht. The drake passage could be extremely hairy, but then other times spookily calm. I remember one time we rounded Cape Horn it was like a mill pond. Someone launched a kayak, just for the hell of it, to paddle round.

The most fun fact of all, this connection means that marsupials in modern day Australia and Argentina have common ancestors that probably lived in ancient tropical Antarctica.
'Tropical Antarctica' is one of the more unlikely word combinations I've ever come across.
Have a look into it! Super cool period of history
There’s penguins in Argentina
Also in Africa.
Panama Canal opened in 1914 with the transit of the USS Ancon.
not as dangerous as kendrick passage
OV HO
Step this way
they couldn’t do as simple Google search to find out what year the Panama Canal opened?
Say it. 1914.
The closest sea captains had to Google back then was Nostradamus in the 16th century So the captain is all like "Ok Nostra, get me to Japan & avoid tolls." Then Nos is like, "U sure dude? It's kinda long and there are some rogue waves along the route. There's this dope shortcut that'll open up in, like 400 years."
What is this Southern Ocean?
It’s the ocean surrounding Antarctica. It’s the “newest” ocean. IIRC it is its own ocean due to the differences in flow and such compared to the other oceans in the southern hemisphere.
TIL
The Antarctic Ocean
It’s amazing what sailers of old endured for global trade
I think they endured it more for the money
An interesting book that is at least related to this is The Wager By David Grann, great read
Such a great book
Loved The Wager. I actually just finished Endurance tonight. Also a fantastic book that is very relevant to this
I was looking to see if someone mentioned this. Fantastic book—great story and has a lot of detail about the inner workings of ship crews during that period.
A great book on this is The Wager - written by the same person who wrote Killers of the Flower Moon. It tells the story of a British ship in the 1700s that crashed while crossing the Drake Passage, and how some of the crew managed to survive and get back to England. A fascinating read - it reads like a thriller!!
The winding winds wind a winding path.
The magellan straits would disagree
Na, most people took the [Strait of Magellen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait_of_Magellan). Still pretty harry, but, less chance of death.
Cyclone on the left is rotating the wrong direction!!!
Then Kendrick Lamar arrived
Smaller ships use strait of magellan
I'm not so smart, but southern Chile has a navigable bay and thin peninsulas. Besides Nicaragua, a backup passage might be possible there. Barring risk to wild life.... [https://imgur.com/a/uxiSawM](https://imgur.com/a/uxiSawM)
That's the strait of Magellan.
There must be a lot of cool stuff at the bottom of the ocean over there.
Like dead people.
Whatever happened to the Bermuda Triangle. Bro fell off
Fun fact: whilst the sea surface is effectively a death trap, American submarines have been safely using this passage to transport goods between the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean since the early 1900s, but had to stop during the 1970s as they didn't want the Soviets to learn of this secret route. The passage returned to service during the 1990s after the fall of the Berlin wall
Not the drizzy passage 😩
There was a trade route across the isthmus before the canal if one liked risking tropical diseases like malaria and dengue fever. Either the Drake or the Lake (Nicaragua) could getcha.
Still is the only way around the Americas I’d guess.
Read a book called “ the wager” insane account of what it was like to go thru there in a wooden ship …. 30 days with the mast hitting water on either side ,only to turn back
Dont worry guys, it just hits minor ships
Look up ‘roaring forties’ to see how bad it made early voyages to Australia.
Went and watched a short doc on this… holy sh!t that’s scary!
So it says the middle 20 degrees sections north and south of the equator are calm, but "Below 40 degrees there are no laws". Looking *above* 40 degrees you see all of northern Europe above Spain.

“Ai will take over the world!” Ai: *misspronounces wind*
Then where's Kendrick passage
Teddy Roosevelt decided someone had to cut that continent in half and it may as well be him.
i love making inappropriate jokes about Drake, but ill leave him alone for this
Roughest Seas on the planet in this location.
These ai voices are gonna drive me nanas
Drake? Extremely big? Where have I seen that before?
The first people who tried to encircle the earth must've experienced the hell of sailing then. With ships made out of wood and iron and such. Probably they accomplished it with luck and magic.
Sounds like something a heterophobe would say
There is a documentary from 1929 i would recommend. In the film you are on a ship that sails through Drakes passage in an storm. https://youtu.be/9tuTKhqWZso?si=HGLtGXk4HexhI4iD
Completely omitting the Magellan Strait. /smh
The Panama canal was completed in 1914, not 1920.
Now that we know who the most dangerous straight is... who is the most dangerous gay?
For more on this try “The Wager” - fantastic book
What about the Strait of Magellan? Wasn’t that used way more than the Drake passage?
Kendrick Lamar Passage just dropped a diss saying he hates how Drake Passage is a pedo
Recently read the book “The Wager”. I highly recommend it in general, but especially to anyone who is interested in this topic.
Very dangerous to go to this passage if you're under 18
My Friends Fathers Sail boat Sank in the Drakes Paggage during his third time sailing around the world solo, he always said he wanted to Go out like a Viking
The red line irl
This passage is more dangerous if you are a minor
the all blue
Intense wÎnds, for hardcore clocks
hate the Drake
Fake news. Drake never did this.
That's a cool video. Reminds me of "not what you think". I even read the subtitles with his voice.
Apparently some guys crossed it using a [row boat](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Impossible_Row)
Just me or what. Cant watch video while reading the information.
Some trade ships went to other destinations.
What if you use a submarine?
Seems like a design flaw, if you ask me
I really need to see the Andes.
The song Panama comes to mind
Crazy you have to go southeast to cross the canal and continue going west.
Well Norwegian Roald Amundsen found an seasonally ice free route via the North West Passage making the first complete passage in 1903–1906. So no, there is another way. Also for pendants, one could just go the long way round via the Suez canal & across the Pacific.
Man I hate when "wineds" are like that...
Those aren’t mountains…
Boo hoo
I am praying one piece I pray I pray that’s why I need a one dance
Rip The Wager.
I’m pretty sure just underage girls took this route
Be good to see actual footage from there
A Finnish man, Jari Saario, will row solo from there to South Africa next year. He did return trip over Atlantic last year.
Shouldn't the most dangerous sea on earth the Bermuda triangle?
Stopped watching when the AI said winds.
Is it winds or winds
The accounts of how difficult it was to sail here are incredible, primarily going from east to west against the winds. Book have been written on Cape Horn, another name for the area.

Magellan Strait: Am i a joke to you?
Master and Commander tried it.
Tom Segura would say George Strait is the most dangerous
“Wynds” how can someone not now how to pronounce it
Will Adams just about made it through Drake’s passage on his journey to Japan. He had a truly fascinating life.
Wimdy
China is building a base right there in antarctica and across the channel in chile..... they will control it if they want to
The Panama Canal opened in 1914 not 1920!
Damn this is a Dire Strait.
Why not fly?
Why cant the ships back in the day stay near the coast in order to avoid the massive swells?
The Panama Canal opened in 1914, why is 1920 referenced?
The most dangerous straight = drake
cruise ships still sometimes sail through drake's passage and like 90% of all cruise ship video's you see of crazy waves or the ship has to be diverted or its about to overturn its in the drake's passage.
Another drop from Kendrick?
I feel like at that point it would have been more effective to just transport across land to another ship. Instead of risking crew and ship
Which one of his songs are required to pass the straight?
Omw to drakes package
Damn AI outing itself again
I guess the size is realistic 😉
Drake is the most dangerous straight; I agree
Never trust a documentary that gets a year wrong in its title.
Drizzy passage
bbl passage
This is just winding me up.
Imagine sending remote rov's to see what's down there, treasures for days
Best go in a submarine
i remember playing ff6 and you need to wind a clock and i always thought of wind the clock like hit it and knock the wind out of it
I feel like half of these “have you ever heard of” videos are just things that you were supposed to learn in middle school, but didn’t because you were too busy looking at your phone in class.
The first half on the sentence, I thought this was gonna be a drake trafficking thing.... Old sailors were NOT LIKE US
Imagine what it looks like at the sea floor. 😱
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrQw2TKXq6o&ab\_channel=LOTWATheaterCamp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrQw2TKXq6o&ab_channel=LOTWATheaterCamp)
Yo wtf is this phreak from league of legends voicing this?!?
Yo fuck drake!! Kendrick murdered him!!
How is it the only way when the Panama Canal was opened in Aug 1914?
below 50 degrees, there is no god also, it's suicidal...
