18:13 when I was 15, I had a severe anxiety attack while my mom went on a tirade through the house, yelling and breaking shit. Was in the corner shaking, crying hyperventilating everything. She started screaming at me to calm down, threatening to send me away to a psych ward and have me locked up. I mentioned it to her a few years ago and she doesn’t remember it at all and said I’m making it up. _The axe forgets, the tree remembers_
And it was surely YOU that needed to be taken to a psych ward, right? Lol My mom would do the same nonsense, and then lie, and then call people and each telling of the story gets more exaggerated... Some parents truly do not deserve to have children let alone even be able to draw a breath.
@@moon-moth1 oh my mom was overall extremely abusive both physically and mentally. She was a habitual drunk and drug abuser lol. I was well aware of what she did since a very young age, courts just didn’t give a fuck and left us with her. She didn’t even try to parent us 😂 my sister raised me primarily.
@@moon-moth1 Having a hard time never excuses being harsh or abusive to your kids. "Parenting is hard" is a line abusive or overly zealous parents use. It's really not that hard if you're a decent person with both understanding and empathy. With maybe the exception of having to deal with a newborn.
The 'No Pimple' thing? Depends on the subject. When the portrait artist, Peter Lely, was painting Oliver Cromwell, in the 17th century, Cromwell commanded Lely to paint him "Warts and all, or I shall not pay you a farthing for it."
The elbows on the table is a left over from medieval dinning etiquette. Food was basically a buffet, it was laid out all around the table and you just grabbed what you want. There was a lot of drinking and jesting in these parties, so the no elbows on the table was to stop someone from wildly gesturing and flinging food all over the place. The pinky finger out is also from this idea. Salts and spices were laid around on the table, and instead of having a spoon or something, the would use their pinky to scoop the seasonings out of the bowl. If you don't touch anything with your pinky, then it won't ruin the rest of the spices.
Generally speaking, people used to sit side by side, elbow to elbow, at these long, narrow tables. Pushing your elbows on the table would take space away from the people sitting next to you, so it was understandably considered rude. The pinky rule is more obscure and uncertain. It's associated with tea drinking, not feasting. I believe it's suspected that it originated from the stiffening of joints due to syphilis, which people pretended to be deliberate gesturing to be polite.
I also heard something about how there used to be feasts, and putting elbows on the table was an insult because it meant there wasn't enough food since you had room to put your elbows there. I don't know if that's true though.
It's because sailors were considered extremely low class people whose very existence was rude and sailors had a habit of putting their elbows on the table on either side of the plate so it wouldn't slide away every time the ship rocked. So putting your elbows on the table is only "rude" because "that's a thing done by The Disgusting People." Source: navy grandpa obsessed with everything about the history of sailing

The no elbows on the table thing I believe was originally so long puffy sleeves stayed out of your food and didn't get dirty. My dad explained that it also kept from bumping your neighbor at a cramped table, and then just stuck around cause it stops you from leaning on the table and hunching over. It's also just makes you look less like a slob. But we should keep it for nice dinner's, not for every day. Also table manners and etiquette can be kinda sexy to some.
Also, if your table was a little older, it would get a little flimsy. And if somebody suddenly puts their entire weight on it, it could spill people's soup (the mainstay of food back in the day) or even flip the entire table. So yes, it was to control kids. To keep kids from making a huge, disproportionate mess.
Yeah, tables in the olden days were REAL easy to tip over by just putting a little weight on it so you just didn't. Nowadays it doesn't matter so much for logistics reasons but people still say not to do it for societal/etiquette reasons
10:42 as a dutch person, that is the translation (albeit very literal, I would personally translate 'hit me' as 'sla mij'). To my knowledge, that specific phrasing is not used during sex (I feel like the english 'daddy' is more so used), but I don't have the experience to fully make a foolproof comment on it, lol.
The jaaa jaaaa is fun enough, if someone told me to sal mij or said daddy in dutch accent I would struggle to continue hah. Lovely country and people but the language is Smurf. Love from a frequent visitor
I think a lot of it is that Netherlandish looks silly to someone who reads everything written with the Latin alphabet as if it were English. And Anglophones just find double vowels funny, for no reason I know. It's not apparent from the spelling that it's just "Give me a whack, papi."
the roach vs the person thing at 5:10 choosing the person makes sense Cause yes it is more dangerous. but means they are trespassing and you will get potential compesation if something happens But roaches. Means something bad that you will need to fix is happening wich will take a long time and potentially if the problem occurs once it may happen again
@@MAML_ if they found themself in your attic well it's more of an accident wich means that the roofing wasn't good wich means they allowed you to find a potential leaking roof problem sooner so that would be even better. edit : just realized the worse would be that the person isn't alive
Fun UK fact. Because the kingdom of wales was, over the course of many hundreds of years, occupied by so many different cultures (English, french, Irish, viking, etc.) there are several different proper ways of pronouncing the word Worcestershire. All of which originate from townes and villages that, despite the mountainous/coastal/island weather and terrain, are essentially within walking distance of each other.
4:52 honestly if I had found a person in the attic of my old house I wouldn't have even been surprised, homeless people used to camp out in our backyard thinking our house was abandoned, so I'd probably just go up there, see the dude, and close the attic and pretend like nothing happened.
The joke about the gorilla, come on, people were making crude and dirty slappers of jokes 3000 years ago, they just weren't written down about much, so we have no idea. But we've found some from many different eras, hiding away in small texts or book margins like the dirty little secrets they were, spoken of in hushed tones. And they are always still top notch by today's standards. We have been the same people for thousands of years. Their humor is our humor.
@@Ziorac If we have no idea because it wasn't written down how can you assert that it was true? The fact much of it is hidden in many eras would suggest otherwise, that it wasn't common or accepted.
@@AIHumanEquality Because there is written evidence, it's just very scarce, because like you said, it wasn't really accepted. It's the scandalous pub jokes that are crude and not for 'polite conversation', but it's also incredibly human. Fart jokes have been funny for thousands of years. People drew boobs and dicks on cave walls. When I say 'we have no idea', I mean the majority of people. Archaeologists find them all the time. People studying ancient tomes do too. They know. But we (the general public) are surprised every time one is found, but we shouldn't be. Humans have been the same for thousands of years. Dirty jokes are human nature.
14:25 the elbows on the table thing goes back to how through most of history, tables had a "good" side and a "bad" side, and the table top would be flipped depending on what it was currently being used for. This meant that in general, dinner tables weren't the most sturdy piece of furniture, and if you were to lean on it's edge with say, your elbows, you might flip the table.
I was about to post about this most of those tables on castles or great houses weren't tables per se but trestles covered with cloth, on top of that those tables were cramped as hell, if you had space to spread your elbows, usually meant that there wasn't enough food anymore or it was terrible.

If we get Faruzan to cosplay as Hatsune Miku, who will cosplay as everyone else? I call Lumine and Aether as Len and Rin... And that order is intentional. I think Aether could make a cute Rin. :P
The elbows on the table thing makes sense if the table isn't sturdy. It's annoying as hell watching the whole table shake and glasses almost spill because someone wants to put their whole weight on the table with their elbows
14:36 I heard that the "no elbows on the table" rule was because back In the day they would sit around really wobbly tables and if you put your weight on them all of the food would go flying. So, there is a practical purpose if you have a wobbly table.
Elbows on the table thing; people used to eat on long benches by long tables with less than large table feet in the center of the table. Should you rest your body weight on it through your elbows you’d tip the table and all its contents onto your friends. Yes we can chill about it now that most tables are more stable but expect to uninvited should you spill the feast onto the floor
22:55 my old person trait is that when i purchase a product, i shouldn't have to look at the makeup of said product to know that I'm buying the thing i want and NOT BEING LIED TO. I bought "oyster sauce" That tasted like they put soy sauce in honey and I'm still mad about it...
21:38 "wait what? Is this an actual ?" Oh my yes Robin it very much is a thing, over in England "lemonade" = "lem9n lime soda" many of them haven't even heard of what we call lemonade I was dating a guy from England once and he was visiting me here in the states, we were out one day and decided to stop at Jimmy John's for lunch He's looking at the menu and says "seems all they have are sodas,I don't really like sodas" and I pointed out that they have lemonade and he says "yeah but I just said I don't like sodas" So I had to explain to him that lemonade here is not a soda,and when he asked what it is I explained it to him he says "well that's just bizarre"
14:32 I remember one time my dad got mixed up and said to me “don’t chew with your mouth full!” and I was like “what am I supposed to do? Swallow it whole?” 😂 Even he couldn’t not laugh at that.

Sandwich Bread: 3 1/2 C flour 2 t salt 2 mounded T brown sugar or 4 T honey 1 1/2 t instant active yeast 2 T butter 1 1/3 C milk Mix together dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt & yeast). Warm up milk in a microwaveable glass just to take the chill off, about 15-30 seconds. Pour in milk and add butter. Mix together until mostly incorporated, preferably with an electric mixer if you have one. Turn out onto a floured surface. Knead (yes the same motion that cats do) the dough until the flour is fully incorporated and the dough is slightly sticky. Form into a ball and place in an oiled bowl (the bowl you mixed in will work fine once oiled). Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise until doubled in size (about an hour or so). Turn out risen dough onto a floured surface. Split in half and roll out until about 3/4” thick. Roll dough into a cylinder and turn ends under. Place into an oiled bread pan. Repeat with the remaining dough. Place a light towel over the pans and let rise until doubled in size again (about 30 minutes to an hour). Heat oven to 350 with the baking rack on the bottom position. Bake for about 30-40 minutes, brushing the top with (salt)water or until the internal temperature is 190 F. The bread will sound hollow when you tap on it. Remove from oven and flip out of bread pans to cool. Store bread in the freezer long term.
18:20 - I tell my students I will always love them. I might not like how they're acting or the choices they're making, but that doesn't mean I don't love them.
14:50 actually in olden times during wars and the depression, peoplw used to eat on long tables without any space in between sticking very closely (kinda like how u see in harry potter) and it was considered rude if u were to put ur elbows on the table as it'd be considered selffish. there are other etiquittes like these that stem from situations created that dont actaully make sense in mordern world. The more you know :]
Less from wars or depression. But more of a Medieval age thing Back when Medieval Lords and Kings do Banquets and stuff, they do it on the Grand Hall, that one giant room in the middle of a Palace/Castle. Refectories and, later Dedicated dining rooms weren't exactly a thing yet (Refectory is a thing for Medieval Priories but that's besides the point) Anyway, when Kings and Lords do their banquet they prepare the Hall with tables, but the tables is just a piece of plank strutted on two beams basically... Imagine the setup if you want to cut a plank in half. So yea, if you rest your elbows on it, the entire table will topple down bringing everyone with it
The no elbows on the table rule is from the time when tables made from log plates ontop of sticks, so the table plate would fall over when you put to mich weight, like elbows on it
14:23 It was originally part of a concern that kids would grow up to be sailors, because that’s how sailors would have to eat in a moving boat. Which is hilarious to me, because… A causes B, so you think B causes A?

Technically, there is a reason for no elbows on the table: young kids don't have a good idea of where their elbows are, and tend to put them in food or tip over plates.
12:59 THIS. There are some gorgeous languages out there. I especially love Icelandic. There's soooo much good music out there in the world if you open up to something a little different than what you're used to.

5:08 - Totally agree with Robin. I’m grossed out by roaches (who isn’t?). If this was 10, or maybe even 100, I might pick that option and just call the exterminator and figure out what to do and be done with it. But if I FOUND 1000 roaches… that house is already beyond condemned status. That’s such a serious problem that, how did you let that go for so long to get that bad? A single person though, they’re probably just homeless and want somewhere to sleep. Maybe it’s more nefarious or they’re psychotic and immediately murder me, in which case oh well, I had a good run, but at least there’s a decent chance of helping someone and doing some good. Roaches? 1000 of them? Nah, there’s no good there.
One thing Americans often don't realise about Europe is how bleedin dense everything can be. By that I mean things like how a lot (yes I know not all, but a significantly higher percentage then other countries) believe things like how an American state is "basically like a country" or some even believe that different US dialects are "practically different languages". Like bro, Germany exists and they're ALSO a federation. And other countries also have provinces. Like the Netherlands has twelve different provinces, each of whom used to be rather separate until the early 1800's. And Switzerland is a CONFEDERACY, even MORE decentralised! And on the dialect front, you can go from one town to another, an hours cycle apart and have trouble understand people there. Meanwhile we actually have loads of different languages, and not just the big ones. Like have you heard of Friesian? It's an official language in Friesland, a Dutch province, it's actually the closest related language to English on the mainland. Meanwhile it's incredibly clear in the Isles, because they speak the same language as most Americans, and you don't hear dialects in languages you don't speak. Like look up "Irish accents" in UA-cam. Not only do they speak Irish English, it's got like a billion different variants. Each valley it's own version. Looking up all the different British accents will also word well enough. Mind you, English is not the only language there. In Ireland there's of course Irish. And on Britain there's, Scottish Gaelic, Scots, Welsh, Cornish and whatever else I forgot/didn't know about. And there's also stuff like Manx on the Isle of Man which is one of the smaller islands. Generally in Europe each country has some other smaller regional languages, and when speaking a language, most people can't or have difficulty understanding people from another region/on the other side of the area where it's spoken. Like Germans living near the Dutch border can be more easily understood by Dutch people, especially of the area, then other Germans not from there. All this is stuff the US doesn't have. And thanks to the remnants of isolationism, a lot never realise or know about.
Rolliepollie I get, but then again, I am Dutch and for some reason I keep forgetting it's name in (Irish) English. We call them Pissebedden (Piss beds), don't ask me why.

4:52 I think I'd go with person mostly because of the number. If it were, say, 100 roaches, then maybe I'd rather just call an exterminator. But ONE WHOLE THOUSAND roaches is an ABSURD number and I will not be dealing with it I'd rather the person
14:38 ya’ll remember the song for that? At camp if someone caught you with your elbows on the table they would call out “name, name, strong and able get your elbows off the table” and everyone else would join in clapping singing “this is not a horses stall, but of course a dinning hall, around the table you must go, you must go, around the table you must go my dear name” until you walked a lap around the table. Even as a child i thought that was stupid
14:38 as I understand it sometimes people don’t have stable tables (:v) an putting your elbows on the table might make it fall, of course throwing all the food on the floor
18:13 This makes me just appreciate my mom that much more. I don’t have any of these abusive memories from my childhood, and I think those as lucky as I am need to take a second to appreciate the parents that DON’T exhibit this type of behavior. Love you, Mom ❤
I believe the elbows on the table rule originates from medieval times when tables were just a plank on some legs and food was kinda balanced on it and when enough weight was placed on a side of the table (i.e. leaning on the elbows on the table) the plank would flip over and the food would go on the floor. I could be wrong though, but that’s what I read about at some point
14:40 i heard the "no elbows on the table" was because pirates ate with their elbows on the table to stop the plates from sliding in high seas, and then it morphed into being seen as "uncivilized" and therefore "bad manners". Now that the original context has been lost and many people don't even know the origin, it is just a stupid rule enforced for the sake of stupid rules.

Robin, your local grocery stores dont sell fresh bread? walmart, and really any grocery store around here have a bakery section with fresh bread, donuts, bagels, all kinda cookies n cakes... is this not a thing everywhere in the US?
Nope. All those ovens and breads are fake. There's a single bakery in the US that supplies all the bread and other goods. Go ahead, try to go behind the counter and investigate... They'll stop you!!! 😂😂😂
the sitcom idea is great, you can't forget the sit part and only focus on the com. if you can't get com out of any sit then you're just hoping people like the same tropes over and over
4:04 At every grocery store I've ever used regularly, they've always had a "bakery" with un-sliced freshly baked bread. I'm sure it isn't the best, but it's real and fresh enough bread. Some even had half baked loaves that you could finish baking at home.
18:59 Ohhhhhh, I read the script for School of Rock The Musical, and in the song "When I climb to the top of Mt. Rock", he says "No brown M&M's in my green room back stage" and I never got that till now
post those price pictures NOW, on multiple platforms. it’s easy to fake photo metadata, but to change the publication dates on all those platforms would require a large and unlikely conspiracy. it also might be good to specifically request that the wayback machine save them immediately after posting, so you have an extra layer of evidence if the posts are deleted from the platforms. i also thought of an idea once for how to prove that you can predict the future which could also work for generally proving something was done in the past, which is to store the thing in a very strongly encrypted archive, distribute the archive immediately, and then only give out the key when you want to reveal its contents. idk how to prove it wasn't faked at the time though 13:14 also is that the octopus lady!!!? OvO
Elbows on the table actually came from a lesson in the medieval times, they ate on unstable tables, just a slab of wood on sticks, and if you put your elbows on the table, you could possibly move the table, tip it, or invade other people’s space
The reason for the no elbows on the table rule is because back in the day, most dining tables were made with all of their support in the middle. If you placed too much weight on the edges of the table--like you would when leaning on your elbows--it would tip over, spilling the table's contents all over that entire side of the table.
Dave's Killer Bread absolutely sucks, I've never gotten a loaf that wasn't sliced like deli turkey, floppy, and basically falls apart the second you throw it on a buttered skillet.
22:40 my old person trait is thinking the wall leaning is redundant when you can just... manually peek a corner or throw a projectile, especially something like a grenade
That sitcom silence thing kinda happens with Angel Beats. As each character perma "d*es" they diasapear from the ending scene. The opening theme song even changes when a new singer takes over the musician role after the old one perma "d*es."
I think the origin of the elbows off the table was when people couldn’t afford stronger tables and you didn’t want to show disregard for the wellbeing of their table
14:40 - Tabels used to basically be a top with like one leg, so they were really unbalanced. So having your elbows on the table could have knocked the table over.
Ok, that poll regarding finding either 1000 roaches or a person living in your attic may get worse knowing that it is only asking about you FINDING them. Imagine FINDING the 1000 roaches, but missing the whole person living in that dark corner watching you freak out that you just found his roach farm that keeps him company. He's still there, but you only found his roaches.
With the lemonade thing I can clarify as an English person. In the UK we call "lemonade lemonade" cloudy lemonade. Our regular lemonade is like bootleg sprite. OP got what they asked for and just didn't consider a language barrier

And if somebody suddenly puts their entire weight on it, it could spill people's soup (the mainstay of food back in the day) or even flip the entire table. So yes, it was to control kids. To keep kids from making a huge, disproportionate mess.
Yeah, tables in the olden days were REAL easy to tip over by just putting a little weight on it so you just didn't. Nowadays it doesn't matter so much for logistics reasons but people still say not to do it for societal/etiquette reasons
I love the "this tastes unlucky to me" lol
Fancy food critics got nothing on the average child
"This food got bad vibes. Negative juju."
10:42 as a dutch person, that is the translation (albeit very literal, I would personally translate 'hit me' as 'sla mij'). To my knowledge, that specific phrasing is not used during sex (I feel like the english 'daddy' is more so used), but I don't have the experience to fully make a foolproof comment on it, lol.
Ik heb ook geen ervaring ermee.
Tja, wat doe je eraan, heh? Leuke pfp, trouwens.
The jaaa jaaaa is fun enough, if someone told me to sal mij or said daddy in dutch accent I would struggle to continue hah. Lovely country and people but the language is Smurf. Love from a frequent visitor
@rnts08 oh, I didn't even think of it being said in a heavy Dutch accent, lmao! And thank you, much love back!
I think a lot of it is that Netherlandish looks silly to someone who reads everything written with the Latin alphabet as if it were English. And Anglophones just find double vowels funny, for no reason I know. It's not apparent from the spelling that it's just "Give me a whack, papi."
10:38 Dutch person here
"Geef me een klap papa" actually means "hit me father", that's not something that's commonly said here
Yeah if you translate it word for word it is: give me a slap dad/daddy
please give a example of the equivalent
makes sense, not gonna say that a lot when you dont have much sex
/s
yeah it sucks, people would just say "sla mij, daddy", which just means "slap me, daddy" because English phrases are so populized here lmao
@@MitenMint We just say it in english.
the roach vs the person thing at 5:10
choosing the person makes sense
Cause yes it is more dangerous.
but means they are trespassing and you will get potential compesation if something happens
But roaches. Means something bad that you will need to fix is happening wich will take a long time and potentially if the problem occurs once it may happen again
Yep. The person would be a whole lot easier to deal with.
Not to mention that one person is a lot easier to see than 1000 roaches and thus also easier to know if you are rid of all of them.
important distinction: does the person also find themselves inside my attic?
@@MAML_ if they found themself in your attic well it's more of an accident wich means that the roofing wasn't good wich means they allowed you to find a potential leaking roof problem sooner so that would be even better.
edit : just realized the worse would be that the person isn't alive
@@phelpsfilchat In that case they were trespassing and once they heard you they hid in attic and then you found it and killed in self-defense.
Fun UK fact. Because the kingdom of wales was, over the course of many hundreds of years, occupied by so many different cultures (English, french, Irish, viking, etc.) there are several different proper ways of pronouncing the word Worcestershire. All of which originate from townes and villages that, despite the mountainous/coastal/island weather and terrain, are essentially within walking distance of each other.
I’m so sorry that you had to be in UK… I hope god will help you one day

4:52 honestly if I had found a person in the attic of my old house I wouldn't have even been surprised, homeless people used to camp out in our backyard thinking our house was abandoned, so I'd probably just go up there, see the dude, and close the attic and pretend like nothing happened.
The joke about the gorilla, come on, people were making crude and dirty slappers of jokes 3000 years ago, they just weren't written down about much, so we have no idea. But we've found some from many different eras, hiding away in small texts or book margins like the dirty little secrets they were, spoken of in hushed tones. And they are always still top notch by today's standards.
We have been the same people for thousands of years. Their humor is our humor.
@@Ziorac If we have no idea because it wasn't written down how can you assert that it was true? The fact much of it is hidden in many eras would suggest otherwise, that it wasn't common or accepted.
@@AIHumanEquality Because there is written evidence, it's just very scarce, because like you said, it wasn't really accepted. It's the scandalous pub jokes that are crude and not for 'polite conversation', but it's also incredibly human. Fart jokes have been funny for thousands of years. People drew boobs and dicks on cave walls.
When I say 'we have no idea', I mean the majority of people. Archaeologists find them all the time. People studying ancient tomes do too. They know.
But we (the general public) are surprised every time one is found, but we shouldn't be. Humans have been the same for thousands of years. Dirty jokes are human nature.
14:25 the elbows on the table thing goes back to how through most of history, tables had a "good" side and a "bad" side, and the table top would be flipped depending on what it was currently being used for. This meant that in general, dinner tables weren't the most sturdy piece of furniture, and if you were to lean on it's edge with say, your elbows, you might flip the table.
I was about to post about this most of those tables on castles or great houses weren't tables per se but trestles covered with cloth, on top of that those tables were cramped as hell, if you had space to spread your elbows, usually meant that there wasn't enough food anymore or it was terrible.
uh what
I was looking for this!! It makes total sense if you ever sat an an unstable table 🤷 but as time progresses i guess so too do tables and elbows
bruh I was thinking it was just a posture thing to make people sit straight more
3:29 JFC. Food Lion [major grocery chain] has a bakery. Even Walmart has a bakery. They bake bread all the time. Fresh breads and baked goods are usually found somewhere near/around the produce section.

The elbows on the table thing makes sense if the table isn't sturdy. It's annoying as hell watching the whole table shake and glasses almost spill because someone wants to put their whole weight on the table with their elbows
14:36 I heard that the "no elbows on the table" rule was because back In the day they would sit around really wobbly tables and if you put your weight on them all of the food would go flying. So, there is a practical purpose if you have a wobbly table.
Brennan Lee Mulligan has the best energy.
@@BasicallyBaconSandvichIV Brennan is incredible and my favorite skits of his are the Tide CEO.
Elbows on the table thing; people used to eat on long benches by long tables with less than large table feet in the center of the table. Should you rest your body weight on it through your elbows you’d tip the table and all its contents onto your friends. Yes we can chill about it now that most tables are more stable but expect to uninvited should you spill the feast onto the floor

Oh my yes Robin it very much is a thing, over in England "lemonade" = "lem9n lime soda" many of them haven't even heard of what we call lemonade
I was dating a guy from England once and he was visiting me here in the states, we were out one day and decided to stop at Jimmy John's for lunch
He's looking at the menu and says "seems all they have are sodas,I don't really like sodas" and I pointed out that they have lemonade and he says "yeah but I just said I don't like sodas"
So I had to explain to him that lemonade here is not a soda,and when he asked what it is I explained it to him he says "well that's just bizarre"
14:32 I remember one time my dad got mixed up and said to me “don’t chew with your mouth full!” and I was like “what am I supposed to do? Swallow it whole?” 😂 Even he couldn’t not laugh at that.

Sandwich Bread:
3 1/2 C flour
2 t salt
2 mounded T brown sugar or 4 T honey
1 1/2 t instant active yeast
2 T butter
1 1/3 C milk
Mix together dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt & yeast). Warm up milk in a microwaveable glass just to take the chill off, about 15-30 seconds. Pour in milk and add butter. Mix together until mostly incorporated, preferably with an electric mixer if you have one.
Turn out onto a floured surface. Knead (yes the same motion that cats do) the dough until the flour is fully incorporated and the dough is slightly sticky. Form into a ball and place in an oiled bowl (the bowl you mixed in will work fine once oiled). Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise until doubled in size (about an hour or so).
Turn out risen dough onto a floured surface. Split in half and roll out until about 3/4” thick. Roll dough into a cylinder and turn ends under. Place into an oiled bread pan. Repeat with the remaining dough. Place a light towel over the pans and let rise until doubled in size again (about 30 minutes to an hour).
Heat oven to 350 with the baking rack on the bottom position. Bake for about 30-40 minutes, brushing the top with (salt)water or until the internal temperature is 190 F. The bread will sound hollow when you tap on it. Remove from oven and flip out of bread pans to cool. Store bread in the freezer long term.
Oh thanks, will try it!

14:50 actually in olden times during wars and the depression, peoplw used to eat on long tables without any space in between sticking very closely (kinda like how u see in harry potter) and it was considered rude if u were to put ur elbows on the table as it'd be considered selffish. there are other etiquittes like these that stem from situations created that dont actaully make sense in mordern world. The more you know :]
Less from wars or depression. But more of a Medieval age thing
Back when Medieval Lords and Kings do Banquets and stuff, they do it on the Grand Hall, that one giant room in the middle of a Palace/Castle. Refectories and, later Dedicated dining rooms weren't exactly a thing yet (Refectory is a thing for Medieval Priories but that's besides the point)
Anyway, when Kings and Lords do their banquet they prepare the Hall with tables, but the tables is just a piece of plank strutted on two beams basically... Imagine the setup if you want to cut a plank in half.
So yea, if you rest your elbows on it, the entire table will topple down bringing everyone with it
The no elbows on the table rule is from the time when tables made from log plates ontop of sticks, so the table plate would fall over when you put to mich weight, like elbows on it
TBH it's also generally good to keep them off the table since dining tables will always be "dirty" and the stain would be hard to clean out
wow, you made it make sense

Technically, there is a reason for no elbows on the table: young kids don't have a good idea of where their elbows are, and tend to put them in food or tip over plates.

5:08 - Totally agree with Robin. I’m grossed out by roaches (who isn’t?). If this was 10, or maybe even 100, I might pick that option and just call the exterminator and figure out what to do and be done with it. But if I FOUND 1000 roaches… that house is already beyond condemned status. That’s such a serious problem that, how did you let that go for so long to get that bad?
A single person though, they’re probably just homeless and want somewhere to sleep. Maybe it’s more nefarious or they’re psychotic and immediately murder me, in which case oh well, I had a good run, but at least there’s a decent chance of helping someone and doing some good. Roaches? 1000 of them? Nah, there’s no good there.

One thing Americans often don't realise about Europe is how bleedin dense everything can be.
By that I mean things like how a lot (yes I know not all, but a significantly higher percentage then other countries) believe things like how an American state is "basically like a country" or some even believe that different US dialects are "practically different languages".
Like bro, Germany exists and they're ALSO a federation. And other countries also have provinces. Like the Netherlands has twelve different provinces, each of whom used to be rather separate until the early 1800's. And Switzerland is a CONFEDERACY, even MORE decentralised!
And on the dialect front, you can go from one town to another, an hours cycle apart and have trouble understand people there.
Meanwhile we actually have loads of different languages, and not just the big ones. Like have you heard of Friesian? It's an official language in Friesland, a Dutch province, it's actually the closest related language to English on the mainland.
Meanwhile it's incredibly clear in the Isles, because they speak the same language as most Americans, and you don't hear dialects in languages you don't speak. Like look up "Irish accents" in UA-cam. Not only do they speak Irish English, it's got like a billion different variants. Each valley it's own version. Looking up all the different British accents will also word well enough. Mind you, English is not the only language there. In Ireland there's of course Irish. And on Britain there's, Scottish Gaelic, Scots, Welsh, Cornish and whatever else I forgot/didn't know about.
And there's also stuff like Manx on the Isle of Man which is one of the smaller islands.
Generally in Europe each country has some other smaller regional languages, and when speaking a language, most people can't or have difficulty understanding people from another region/on the other side of the area where it's spoken.
Like Germans living near the Dutch border can be more easily understood by Dutch people, especially of the area, then other Germans not from there.
All this is stuff the US doesn't have.
And thanks to the remnants of isolationism, a lot never realise or know about.
I don't get why Americans call woodlice pill bugs/ rolly polies
Rolliepollie I get, but then again, I am Dutch and for some reason I keep forgetting it's name in (Irish) English. We call them Pissebedden (Piss beds), don't ask me why.
The dialect thing is wrong, but each state is nearly the size of some countries,, minor exceptions

14:38 ya’ll remember the song for that? At camp if someone caught you with your elbows on the table they would call out “name, name, strong and able get your elbows off the table” and everyone else would join in clapping singing “this is not a horses stall, but of course a dinning hall, around the table you must go, you must go, around the table you must go my dear name” until you walked a lap around the table. Even as a child i thought that was stupid

I believe the elbows on the table rule originates from medieval times when tables were just a plank on some legs and food was kinda balanced on it and when enough weight was placed on a side of the table (i.e. leaning on the elbows on the table) the plank would flip over and the food would go on the floor.
I could be wrong though, but that’s what I read about at some point

14:40 i heard the "no elbows on the table" was because pirates ate with their elbows on the table to stop the plates from sliding in high seas, and then it morphed into being seen as "uncivilized" and therefore "bad manners". Now that the original context has been lost and many people don't even know the origin, it is just a stupid rule enforced for the sake of stupid rules.

i also thought of an idea once for how to prove that you can predict the future which could also work for generally proving something was done in the past, which is to store the thing in a very strongly encrypted archive, distribute the archive immediately, and then only give out the key when you want to reveal its contents.
idk how to prove it wasn't faked at the time though

Elbows on the table actually came from a lesson in the medieval times, they ate on unstable tables, just a slab of wood on sticks, and if you put your elbows on the table, you could possibly move the table, tip it, or invade other people’s space
The reason for the no elbows on the table rule is because back in the day, most dining tables were made with all of their support in the middle. If you placed too much weight on the edges of the table--like you would when leaning on your elbows--it would tip over, spilling the table's contents all over that entire side of the table.
Dave's Killer Bread absolutely sucks, I've never gotten a loaf that wasn't sliced like deli turkey, floppy, and basically falls apart the second you throw it on a buttered skillet.
Elbows off the table was for long crowded dining halls, and if you could put your elbows on the table, it meant there wasn’t enough food.
22:40 my old person trait is thinking the wall leaning is redundant when you can just... manually peek a corner or throw a projectile, especially something like a grenade
That sitcom silence thing kinda happens with Angel Beats. As each character perma "d*es" they diasapear from the ending scene. The opening theme song even changes when a new singer takes over the musician role after the old one perma "d*es."
I think the origin of the elbows off the table was when people couldn’t afford stronger tables and you didn’t want to show disregard for the wellbeing of their table
The no elbows on the table rule is to prevent soiling your clothes with food and crusts dropped on the table.
14:40 - Tabels used to basically be a top with like one leg, so they were really unbalanced. So having your elbows on the table could have knocked the table over.
I feel like robin broke his record with that tangent

Ok, that poll regarding finding either 1000 roaches or a person living in your attic may get worse knowing that it is only asking about you FINDING them.

He's still there, but you only found his roaches.
