Adventuring Party: "Um, Actually!" Edition

[@evren5642]

For some reason my brain was telling me that the early scientist Brennan was talking about had to have been Isaac Newton; but I think that’s just because he did do feather and coin experiments; but so did Galileo. Newton wasn’t born until after Dee died, but Galileo had a good 50 year overlap with Dee. But also Galileo didn’t live in Britain, unlike both Dee and Newton. (Copernicus died when Dee was 17 and not yet a scientist, and also he never did any of those falling experiments, so I’d eliminate him as a possibility). Physical experiments themselves weren’t a new concept in science, but Galileo did essentially originate a version of the modern scientific method, which Newton refined. And it’s true John Dee in particular tended to work in the theoretical, especially in his focus on mathematics; still, he did do physical experiments sometimes; usually just observing chemical reactions. My best guess is Brennan was thinking of Galileo, but in the sense that the article he mentioned was only abstractly comparing Galileo and Dee, bc I can’t find evidence of them ever like. Directly corresponding or even being compared to one another contemporaneously

[@evren5642]

Here’s some info about Galileo’s experiments that mentions some of what Brennan was talking about (although nothing about John Dee): galileoandeinstein.phys.virginia.edu/lectures/gal_accn96.htm

[@baugkelly]

Thank you for this information! That all checks out with what i found. You're probably right, too, about the article Brennan mentions. He says, "In the analogy of it..." at one point. Based on how he talks about it, my guess is that this article he's referring to is more of a thought experiment to make the point that people like Dee use existing math and science to defend what we already know, while many of the discoveries we've made come from folks who do something with what they have in front of them. All that being said, I would love to find whatever this article is.

[@Requiemization]

@@baugkelly I actually remember reading about this in The Scientists by John Gribbon. Gelileo is credited with first disputing Aristotle's ideas that heavier objects fall faster then lighter ones, but didn't actually perform an experiment on it until later. In 1586, Simon Stevin did perform an experiment where he dropped 2 different weights and they fell at the same rate. This is the first known experiment of the type, though the book makes no mention of John Dee.

[@fidiusorg]

In a similar vein, from Francis Bacon: In the year of our Lord 1432, there arose a grievous quarrel among the brethren over the number of teeth in the mouth of a horse. For thirteen days the disputation raged without ceasing. All the ancient books and chronicles were fetched out, and wonderful and ponderous erudition such as was never before heard of in this region was made manifest. At the beginning of the fourteenth day, a youthful friar of goodly bearing asked his learned superiors for permission to add a word, and straightway, to the wonderment of the disputants, whose deep wisdom he sore vexed, he beseeched them to unbend in a manner coarse and unheard-of and to look in the open mouth of a horse and find answer to their questionings. At this, their dignity being grievously hurt, they waxed exceeding wroth; and, joining in a mighty uproar, they flew upon him and smote him, hip and thigh, and cast him out forthwith. For, said they, surely Satan hath tempted this bold neophyte to declare unholy and unheard-of ways of finding truth, contrary to all the teachings of the fathers. After many days more of grievous strife, the dove of peace sat on the assembly, and they as one man declaring the problem to be an everlasting mystery because of a grievous dearth of historical and theological evidence thereof, so ordered the same writ down.

[@baugkelly]

The *GIGGLE* after Hank says “Hemipenes.” Replayed a million times and it still gets funnier.

Hearing Danielle's offscreen giggle really gets me.

I love seeing how raw and uncut Hank is in this. I would have never expected Hank Green to say "Fuck you" in response to "Snickerdoodle wants a word, bro." Just amazing. I want more of this Hank Green.

Watching Brennan get extremely excited that he had a fun fact that he wanted to explain and then handing it off to Danielle who was equally excited was incredible. That’s a mix of what makes him such a good DM and the perfect example of allyship. We absolutely fucking love to see it.

[@GeldarionTFS]

I noticed that too, and as someone who really has a hard time with that, I have a huge amount of respect for him

[@VerdaTal]

I got to be his waiter during Gencon. It was a table of 10, and I watched him lock eyes with a pair of people he didn't know, and say "Hi, I'm Brennan!" without assuming they knew a thing about him, even though it was at Geek Mecca, essentially. Totally genuine dude, I'm happy to report.

Something I haven't seen pointed out in the comment section, so it's my job to commend you on that: making each subtitle the same color as the speaker's characters! That's really cool!

[@baugkelly]

Hey thanks! I'm glad you noticed that. I might play around with the colors for The Fix and Dan Fūks for future videos just because saturated red tones are hard to read sometimes, but we'll see where that ends up.

[@dontburstmybubble686]

​@@baugkellyI think you can solve it with a white box under the red or something. I know you can do that in word but I'm not sure about KZbin videos. Still putting the red next to light blue, white, mint greens, or desaturated colors should make it legible.

[@baugkelly]

@@dontburstmybubble686 that's a great idea. I'll play around with that. Thank you!

It's also like... the least surprising thing you can learn because the moment you've been told it your brain starts to process it and you just go "... I mean... yea actually that just makes total sense. People have probably been doing that since before the idea of a corporation even existed. When it was just a farmer selling his goods."

[@abydosianchulac2]

My grandmother had an amazing spinach dip recipe, came straight off a dried soup box. She did make changes for taste, though, so it's not a complete copy. I think Campbell cream of mushroom pot roasts also fall into this category.

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

"I'm mature enough to watch this and not laugh." I have said that more than a few times and I have never been right.

[@Absintheinfevor]

"Snickerdoodle wants a word, bro." "Fuck you." Hank Green speaks to my soul.

[@selonianth]

This is my personal favorite panel show type conversation ever. Just a bunch of interesting, well spoken, and hilarious people talking about whatever the conversation flows into without much need for wrangling and with hardly any talking over one another. I literally would listen to this group in a podcast every day and never miss an episode. Don't get me wrong, I love their DnD game but the OOC conversations just hit different. Hank Green is a font of knowledge and charisma that is second to none. I just adore how Hank seems to come at things and does so without any ego. Always with excitement and joy. Adam Savage is the same way in that regard. "Hey everyone, let me tell you about this awesome thing I know about!" is an energy I can almost always get behind, when it's not done to try and mock anyone or as a form of boasting. I just realized I now want to see a Talking Room with Hank Green. @tested make that happen, please!

[@piquantement]

oh my god, thank you for the subtitles, because I fully thought Siobhan had said "I did know a kid who had a four-pronged penis" and I really felt there was a general under-reaction to that statement

[@brojoez]

thank you *so* much for all the additional notes & sources listed, as well as the consistently BIG subtitles!

[@baugkelly]

Of course! I really enjoy doing it. I'm glad the subtitles were readable. I don't trust youtubes caption, plus it never reflects the utter chaos of their banter.

[@itskdog]

​@@baugkelly You can manually type in to KZbin's captions, it's also very good at taking a TXT file with the right words in and lining the words up for you.

[@baugkelly]

@itskdog yeah, I probably should go back to including the srt. files with the upload. The reason why I like baking in the subtitles is because I have control over size, placement, and font color, and I can account for overtalk. The static subtitles don't properly reflect the energy of the scenes, in my opinion.

[@itskdog]

@@baugkelly fair point. I know it's possible to specify position and colour with some formats, just like they do on TV, you just can't use KZbin's editor for that and have to upload the file from an external editor.

The whole time they were talking about discovery accidents, I was thinking about the invention of modern day chewing gum (which, by the way, is hilarious and involves the thrice exiled Mexican President Santa Anna partnering up with Staten Island's civil war photographer and amateur inventor Thomas Adams in trying to make cheap synthetic rubber out of chicle so Santa Anna could make enough money to take back control of Mexico. The plan failed, but Santa Anna was able to return home regardless.)

The family recipe thing is so true. We thought we lost our grandma's pumpkin pie recipe when she died. Nope, it's the recipe on the can of pumpkin goop, in a premade pie crust.

[@SuperiorPosterior]

My favorite fun science fact is that the steam engine was first invented (so far as we can currently tell) in the ancient Roman Empire. It was a sphere on a stick with two elbow pipes sticking out either side. You'd fill it with water, and set it over an open fire like you were roasting it on a spit. The water boils, becomes steam, and escapes out of the pipes. The ~90° bend in the pipes would cause the sphere to rotate as the steam was expelled. It was a cool, pointless science thingy as far as the guys who invented it were concerned. You see all these people who want to go back in time and give radio to the Romans, but I'd go back and get two large iron hoops, a small furnace on a board with wheels, and get the steam engine, attach gears, and get them to spin the board's wheels to make a little train go round and round, and see if I could inspire the Romans to start the Industrial Revolution _before_ the Gregorian calendar starts

Came here for the D20 nerd party, stayed to share a pet peeve about “all-American” desserts (see below), and now I’m heading off to check out the Pythagoras bean cult murder mystery musical! (See link in the dooblydoo). This is not a fun fact, just a pedantic one. There is nothing distinctly American about apple pie. I don’t care that “there is literally a saying”, apples originated in Kazakhstan and there is a good chance that some sort of apple pastry was developed in every part of the world that had both apples and pastry! The earliest written recipe for apple pie was included in A Cook’s Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer in 1381, and the dish probably predated that by a considerable period. So now you know, and can play “um, actually” IRL any time you hear someone use the phrase “as American as apple pie”!

[@baugkelly]

Thank you for the pedantic fact! I came across this during my research and can verify that that is true (I just don't have those links with me right now). Also, I'm so glad you followed the link for the musical-- I shared a sillier song, but I really enjoyed doing this musical.

[@jasonkatz4430]

To further um actually your um actually: just because apples with pastry are incredibly common throughout the world in general doesn’t mean that the modern American pie as we know it can’t be itself an American concept. Flour water yeast is all bread but people will fight over which is better. The *real* American apple pie has roots in the British colonialists in a proto-form of what is now considered a pie in modern North America but apple trees were so common to grow and use on personal properties as well as orchards that it became an American staple dessert.

[@feuilletoniste]

@@jasonkatz4430 An American staple, for sure, but to the best of my knowledge the "American" apple pie (shortcrust pastry, chunks or slices of apple, lightly spiced, with or without cheese on/in the crust) hasn't changed significantly since British settlers arrived in the Americas, so while it is common, it is arguably lacking in specific regional characteristics.

Eventually the back legs disappeared too but in things like pythons which developed later as a species they still have little residual leg bones inside their body to this day) (Sharks bite the fins of other starts to procreate as they don’t have arms, a lot of armless/finless animals have that bite em for grip etc - when you’re venomous/you kill and eat other snakes this becomes a problem again… Solution pronged hemipenes - hemipenes are also found in some lizard varrieties so it’s likely that was early development pre snakes or as the eras went on become a developed trait for select snake species which evolved to those similar snake branches So for a guy snake once you find the girl you want to actually ya know participate in procreation no arms and you can’t bite them and kill them so you’ve got to either be able to twist into a rope/twist into a ball/figure out an alternative way to stay interlocked - some snakes also just have cloaca’s like birds/crocodiles (while crocodiles have cloaca’s they have multi chambers and have penises inside the cloaca- which I just think is like double the amount of things you really need… you have a cloaca and basically a vagina/penis as well it’s sort of ridiculous and like I understand it help with bladder stuff especially in water but it just seems odd and overkill)

Comedians often talk about how fun it is to spend time with a group of other comedians. This is like that, but smart people.
