      @@lopde1290 It's just because the video gives off a strong early 2000s youtube vibe. If he started off the video by saying "guys 90% of my viewers are unsubscribed so be sure to hit that subscribe button, click the bell icon, and SMASH that like button!!!" it would take you right out of that deja vu.

    20 years ago I went to Ecuador with the family. We were in the car travelling between cities and my cousin stops the car to buy something from the side of the road. He comes back with a large bunch of huge beans that had a cotton like thing in them with these very large seeds. I loved it like mad. Years later I mention this food to my family and everybody was like you are crazy, you were probably dreaming. I never found anything about that so I gave up thinking it was a dream. Now I know it is true! Thanks a lot man!

      Thank god I live in Florida and havent been indoctrinated to have my crappy blue China mask with me 24/7. Here in Florida we had masks maybe for like 3 months, then after that the mask thing was dropped. I almost feel like the mask thing, in some cases, made things worse, as all people do is use their dirty hands to fiddle with the mask and constantly touch it, which puts germs all over it and when people breathe out they are just blowing more germs out into the air. Personally, as someone who travels for work, I did not see any real benefit to the masks... The "mask" states I visited like NYC and New Jersey had terrible Covid numbers and cases. While Florida had some bad numbers early on, their numbers were not different from places like New York and California with heavy mask mandates and actually drastically improved oddly as they got rid of masks. Who knows.. Im no doctor, but I dont think its hard to not wear a mask and just be sanitary and not spread germs.

    • @emmettdonkeydoodle6230
      @emmettdonkeydoodle6230 3 роки тому +10

      @@JonHop1 You are completely misattributing this as a causal phenomenon. NJ and NY why did not have worse cases because of masks (come on now... even you have to be aware that the mask mandates were not put in until after 2 months of COVID cases soaring there) and they certainly haven’t gotten better because of ease of restrictions. In fact, we know that all states that have eased off restrictions early have had spikes in cases, including Florida.
      NY and NJ have the most frequently visited international airports in the US. That is why there were the most cases in those areas.
      The masks I think are incredibly helpful, but only if you wear the right kind. A lot of people didn’t, so in this way they weren’t super effective, but it was much better than nothing and likely prevented many deaths.
      Although, if the US handled it in similar ways as Jordan, we may have prevented many more deaths. But if people are going to pretend being told to wear a mask is oppressive, I can only imagine what these nut jobs would do if they were told they had to stay inside their homes.

      Need very specific growing climates and some of these plants but be invasive species on different continents, meaning they would have a bad time interacting with the wildlife elsewhere. Importing is expensive and not worth it when some fruits go for literally 5 cents, if not less in these countries. Also the fruits wouldn't really last. Large greenhouses are more so used for sustainable food and things like that. Private growers may have better luck though! A lot of people just dont know about them!

    It's not unusual for a single fruit species to have hundreds of varieties. Maybe even thousands for species cultivated by humans. Biodiversity is mind blowing. Sadly with industrialization of agriculture, lots of varieties go extinct as the amount of farmers and therefore selection and maintenance of certain varieties reduces.

    You should try dacryodes edulis. It is a "plum" from west Africa. We have had some luck finding them frozen here in the US in grocery stores specializing in African foods. They are a very interesting fruit with only a thin layer of fruit around what is hands down one of the freakiest looking seeds you will EVER see. They look as strange or stranger when sprouting too. My mother has a USDA seed import license and has some of the trees she has grown from seed in her tropical greenhouse and has pics of them sprouting. They look terrifying!

    I really like that painting at the beginning. I was able to get an artist name by reverse image searching a screenshot, Pawel Kuczynski. While I couldn't find a name for that particular piece other than "37", it was pretty easy to find his online shop selling the painting. I didn't notice the saw at first, and I thought basically that the person had attempted to climb out repeatedly and progressively broken the rungs. After seeing the saw it becomes clear that they destroyed their only means of escape to facilitate their immediate survival by burning the rungs themselves. I kind of like the idea of the ladder failing the person more than the person being so desperate as to destroy the ladder, but both are good. A small detail I find really important for either meaning is that the person has gotten impressively high up that ladder for not being able to climb up it. Getting that high without the use of a functioning ladder is almost a superhuman feat, but all to only eke out meager survival

    I'd like to see you do a comparison between Ice Cream Bean (which I have never tasted) and Guamuchil (which I have had). Ice Cream Bean is said to taste like vanilla ice cream, while Guamuchil is supposed to be like coconut (especially the texture). I know you did do a review of the Guamuchil ("Monkey's Earrings") a while back, but now that you have tried three kinds of Ice Cream Beans, a comparison would be interesting.

    One thing about the tree that is special is that it is nitrogen fixing, so it can suck nitrogen out of the air and adds it to the soil via it's roots. That is why you often find coffee and other shade loving plants like cacao underneath, it is free nutrients. Also the tree is coppicable so itcan be cut back and it will regrow, so the wood can be used for firewood or to root into the soil adding more nutrients
