I'd argue this video is only made within one day and he has the absolute control of beard growth
20:21 *pogchamp*
Wow, this video made me feel something. Definetly worth waiting all this time for a proper Vsause video
i wanna feel time
Time is definitely going by faster for me..years are cruising by now where summer as a kid lasted forever
-Hello, how are you? -I wait 130 days to grow a beard to make a video!!!
When I watch VC sauce I always panik cuss it feels like the teacher explaining something imphrbrh
It’s crazy how you can feel like something happened just the other day but also feel like a lifetime ago
08-27-92 I was born. At some point I thought everything on television was animated/drawn. The very real people on tv was drawn. I thought the different of the lion king and a movie with Arnold was the skill of the artist. Arnold was not a person, but a drawing made by a skilled person.
Finally the legend was been awoken from his slumber
I’m just 21 but already I feel like those Childhood summer breaks lasted forever. And already each year seems to be shorter and shorter
It took me 13 minutes to realise that he kept changing his shirts. I had to look back to see how many times it happend
I invented time machine! Not this year.. next year!
So....who's watching in 2021? Hahaha

Joey Leonhard this was made in 2021 so everyone
i am scared for there is a floating head in the screen
I watch Vsause since.... forever
*Who's watching this in 2021?* lol Like if you get the video reference! Ha! ;)
When you realize that there are people that would see among us and fall guys like we see Mario and Contra
Its good that we dont remember EVERY single thing thats ever happened to us... that would be horrifying.
You're still good at this
he was wasnt uploading because he needed to grow that beard for 1 clip
Millions of years haven't existed
wow thats Beakman's World at the 4:20 mark. top right corner...... now i feel old
A blessing from the recommendations
24:30 just as well, anyone who stands still no longer needs to fear death because it is already upon us
20:40 ahh, how much I missed this background track... ❤️
Im watching this in 2025
Great video
Hey! Who's watching this in the present? 👋
Unus Anus, Memento Mori
Michael, I beg you to subtitle this I want to show this to my friends and they don't speak English.
I also have this thing with places, other places, cities or country kinda feel dull and monotonous to me. I know they are just as lively as mine and people live there with their sorrows and joy, but can't shake of that feeling.
So that's why the time since the last Vsauce video feels like an eternity. Nope, it just was really that long.
Thank you Micheal I’ll remember
Thats what its like 4 u.u can't measure what it's like 4 others.u r talking about something u CAN'T understand because it is outside of our known/common vocabulary. I won't explain.it's not something u can theorize.u have to see/be told
So I had to pull up timeanddate web site and figure out the exact day I was the same age as my mom and my dad when I was born and that is trippy. I took notes so that future me can see the numbers and dates without having to re-calculate it.
One long/long experience that I have is meditation.
this has given me crippling anxiety
HE RETURNS! i couldn't be happier right now
Now
Watching this made me age like a destroyed Dorian Gray painting...
Welcome back Michael. I've missed your videos.
I think this is why meditation was born. "Not to have the time of your life but to have more time of your life" - 29:41
Anyone watching in 2021?
Airports. Remember those? Seems like it was only 2 hours ago that COVID closed down our borders.
"Constant revolutionising of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. *All that is solid melts into air*, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind." It seems some words from 170 years ago still resonate, despite everything that's changed...
why did michael change sweaters?
im actually considering just locking my self in my room randomizing all my clocks block out the out side and just produce a album while not being aware of the time. it would be very interesting
Man this dudes vids are so good.
He left for 5 months to grow his beard back. Michael is a legend.
I did not want this video to ever end :( Love you Mike.
Amazing! Thank you for making this.
Can you explain tenet to me
Time does fly, huh? Felt like it was just the other day that Michael shaved his beard
One of your best! 20 minutes in and it's a smooth transition into a pretty hardcore acknowledgement of our cultural progression into post-modernity
The second closet ignificantly blush because slip longitudinally complete but a expensive swing. general gentle, industrious yugoslavian
This is an interesting contrast between philosophical conservativism and progressivism
The average dad ultrasonically snore because hook concomitantly nod concerning a torpid hat. permissible, workable reminder
Maybe the next video won’t take 5 months.
V Sauce summed up: "You can't; except, you can.....*example*"
Holy shit, Michael met Beakman
Who's watching in 2011?
That was about time
What I got from this is that human society is accelerating towards one big sketch comedy act
I just learned we are the same age.
BANGERZ
1986? You look 50
Vsauce is doing big brain things, meanwhile my dumbass is sticking Cheerios on my fingernails.
God i missed this man
Thought your username was VERSACE for a sec I had to take another look 👀
Hi, Computer Master.
21:22 I missed that background track
HE'S BACK GUYS
Please never shave again but keep the sweater collection.
Who else watching in 2021?
BEARD! BEARD! IT'S ALIVE
That last bit made me regret spending the time i had during my childhood on my phone
The Chronocentric Illusion part hit hard.
I wonder if he just took this long to make this video just to make the beard example.
#neveragain.
This is something that has always fascinated me, like when I was mother was born there was still full blown victorians walking about.
hi 2025 fans
A video made by a millennial for millennials:)
Right, I'm gonna play the long game here... who's watching this in 2031?

Past and future, ever blending, Are the twin sides of same page: New start will begin with ending When you know to learn from age; All that was or be tomorrow We have in the present, too; But what's vain and futile sorrow You must think and ask of you;

Does someone know where I can find a playlist of the audionetwork music in this video pleaseee

This was one existential crisis I was glad to experience
I only remember the cowboy music after absorbing all this info- Should i be worried?
Did you make this video to help us better reflect on the passage of time whenever we think "Finally! It's been years since Vsauce last uploaded," Michael?
more like a Return of a Sellout
seeing him without a beard is unsettling
im confused
Michael is back.... "and as always thanks for bringing cool stuff"
Maybe next time turn up the music a bit more, I could still barely understand you in this one. /kappa But seriously, trying to follow your voice when you throw around scientific terms and talk about a fairly complex topic is hard enough as it is, the loud music was fairly distracting.
This video felt very much like what I felt on acid
We all think we're smart until we watch vsause
Plot twist, this vid was made in 2011, his beard is fake and it was all planned.
