Hey, all! Yes. This video is re-uploaded. Whether it was through YouTube or our editing software, the initial upload this morning was very glitch-y and even cut out our ending title card so I had to make some adjustments and re-upload. Thanks for your understanding and we hope you enjoy today's video. I actually really enjoyed this one.

The female symbol seems like something you made up.
Favorite symbols are Eropean / American / American Indian , Martial art symbols.
I like the autism one
I like the autism one
Didn’t the original barber’s pole also have a blue stripe?
There is also information on number 2 medical symbols with snake or sometimes 2 snakes also represents kundalini energy!
Autistic ribbon, breast cancer ribbon but no YELLOW ribbon??? WTF
i thought #1 will be biohazard. wasnt mentioned at all.
I like the dollar $ymbol.
I like ride myself, but high hats are cool too.
The Crest is also known as a female aspect in the Wiccan religion!
#8. You talk about it being a power symbol where "On" and "Off" were replaced by a line and a circle. The symbol you show is commonly seen on desktop computers where pressing the button toggles between On and Standby. But look at the On Off switch located on the power supply itself where setting the switch to the zero or circle position, puts the machine into a zero power state. Pressing the Standby button on the front will no longer have any effect. A true power symbol using the line and circle would have the line completely inside an unbroken circle. Have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_symbol
What about the meaning of the rainbow flag?
Barber surgeons used to wrap the bloodied rags around a pole to dry (sterilization wasn't a thing then) …that is where the symbol came from…
The peace sign was the combination of the semaphores (flag waving signs used by the Navy) of "N" and "D" for Nuclear Disarmament…look it up…
WRONG!!!! number 18…the female symbol of Venus actually depicts a mirror that Venus would use to validate her beauty…read your mythology…
Number 11…the crescent became the symbol of Islam because when the widowed wife of Mohammed (who was a worshiper of the moon God) ordered her husband to rid the temple of all false Gods…accept hers…it was adopted as the unifying symbol of the faith…
now people are saying the "okay" sign means "white power" the 3 fingers going up make a "W" and the circle and the arm make "P"
#2: also used by Moses during a plague brought as punishment for the nation of Israel's rebellion/sin. Whoever looked upon the staff with the serpent was healed, thus stopping the plague. It was a test of obedience.
I thought the medical symbol (Rod of Asclepius
) was based on the biblical story of Moses placing a bronzed snake on a staff and people were healed when they looked towards the staff.
the exit symbol represents an exit……how informative
I always thought the male symbol stood for an erect p…and the plus symbol under the female symbol was to symbolize a baby being born, adding to the population.
What's the symbol on mikes shirt
