The Universal S

I used to draw the long version as a kid... never thought of it as an S

In Chile i drawn it too many times

The 1533 painting "the ambassador" has the S

*I DON'T NEED SLEEP, I NEED ANSWERS*

The name of the middle school I went to started with an S, so this symbol was used as a symbol of the school. It wasn't until I was an adult and saw stuff about it online that I learned this symbol was far bigger than just something from a school I went to.

who'd use to make symmetrical instances of this across your paper when drawing these and then connect them all to see it cool it would look XD
(Edit): 7:55 that's me too, but I would do them horizontally too 🤣🤣

Where did you come from? How did we make you?

Honestly, you could have had built (Or had a subscriber help build) a machine learning model to try and identify that symbol in pictures. Then set it to crawl images online. Would have let you do a deep search of every graffiti image you can get a hold of on the internet, without wanting to commit seppuku.

It could be faschnat? Like the German twist donut.

We used to find this engraved in school desks. It might explain the dispersion across the years, as school desks get changed out far less often than students but....still. that spread over the countries.

I am to stuiped to learn how to do this

I remember drawing this symbol as the logo of Michigan State U.S college football team, anyone else?

Well that was a blast from the past

Bruh can you still make that 2018 - TOP 10 Facts

canadian here, they were called “gangster “S” “

Antigua has it too

made the best rage comics lmao and u make great videos

In elementary school, my friends and I would draw this and we were told it was related to the Sureño gang, which is one of the gangs in our area.

I remember in like 3rd grade the cool 5th graders would draw it on their hands and I would try and it’d look bad

Me: *sits on bed not knowing what to do and eating all day*
Lemmino: okay, so I found the origin of the S everyone writes in school.

I remember drawing this back in elementary... that was before my battalions captain ran a foul of a bloke named god and started a war that destroyed the first macrocosm

Oh my God, your back.

Ah yes, I remember drawing these back when fire was invented

I though it was an nc state thing

I really thought it was the Suzuki symbol

I first saw this "S" in winter of 1975 under a railroad bridge in Stielacoom, WA. I've been drawing this ever since. I was a military brat and lived around the country drawing it everywhere. I then went to Germany in 1988 and S. Korea later same year. Drew it there as well. So no slipknot, Kiss, Slayer or any of them. I believe the power company used this in Stielacoom. Check it out.

Perhaps it had origin in a war, like Kilroy Was Here?

I used this symbol to help me levitate Egyptian stone blocks to build the pyramids

ahhh, the s. I remember drawing that into fallen Neanderthals with pointy rock

Okay youtube. You win. I've watched the video. Now please stop blowing up my recommendations lol

I have to know... just how long did you take to make that ~4 second long bit with the penguins at 5:54 ?

It's an SCP. It's obviously an SCP.

It’s also found in Lebanese school we always used to drow it

I thought it was Suzuki

just saying that in Uruguay we used to draw that symbol too

holy crap this video is insane you made an S symbol sound so interesting, safe to say I was subbed within the first few minutes

@16:28 The proto universal S.

Memes in 1960:
Memes in 2019: *Lets storm area 51*

I called it the “secret S”

Anyone else: The Universal S
Me, an intellectual: It's called a Somersloop

I live in Wisconsin and I remember everyone drawing this myself included in grade school 😂

Ah the stussy
Edit: oh

This man was able to withstand reading more than 10 youtube comments without having a stroke, let alone 27,000!

You should do a video about the Yuba City five, your Dyatlov pass video was really good.

We had it in the UK too

This is actually a secret ruin

I always was told that it’s a gangster symbol

southern ontario here yup kids used to always draw this

You have too much time on your hands i love it

this is so weird to watch because i really always wondered where it came from. first remember it in third grade, early 2000's. still see it alot, up in ohio

Your accent has faded so much since I first started watching you :,(

did this in primary school in Nigeria. no idea how i new it, since none of my friends showed me. i just knew it. weird

This wolnt get out my recommendation

English language is hard wired to be written from left to right so for the Sator square to exist that means someone needed to think with asymmetry to begin with to make it possible. Ironically enough for the Sator square to be created it would start with the S and the first word would be written like so. So by this Square this shows humans are hard wired to utilize symmetry the S just so happens to be a tool that has alot of it hence its incorporation into asymmetrical artwork like the Sator Square. Not in the asymmetric look but its general letter being in use as the first letter in an incredibly early incorporation of Asymmetric abstract wordplay in English literature. Shows one thing, why this Universal S always peaks its head its because humans have hardwired tendencies that gives us uncanny resembling thoughts and in this case Asymmetry is the one thing that is like that and the S so happens to be asymmetric enough to all give us familiar thoughts. its why when it concerns it we think alike making us think in this pattern and the Sator square proves that.

NIce

Back in the Stone Age I used to draw that on my cave desk

a book called mechanical graphics with a section about graphic design and letter art made earlier than any previously known evidence of the universal s being the origin of the universally known letter based symbol seems pretty believable

Super S gang wya?

We used to write "SOS" in france, the "O" was 3 vertical lines 4 other edges

I did the same thing. When i was in middle school in 03-05 write this symbol. So wierd

I love the different words for ‘keyboard’

we make that in Brazil too

coooooooool =)

Ontario Canada shout out!!!!!

I could never draw the cool S

Stoosi? That’s not what I say

this is amazing! you saved us all a lot of time

I always thought it was just the Suzuki logo

I used to draw these in school all the time. After I would draw them, I would cut them out and collect them. What’s really odd is that I was drawing these the other day out of the blue... I drew it on my hand and then spelt the word Soul... it’s still fading as we speak. Thought I would share, especially after seeing this video randomly.

Yeah I remember this sign. We always drew it.
We called it „s‘Amerikanischi S“ (the american S) back then.

Saudi Arabia too

8:21 the third one looks so similar to the s if you make it a long chain wherever that was made is probably where it originated

Interesting..
