You guys should do a series on Tobacco. I'm not encouraging people to smoke, but the history of the plant is fascinating. From Native American cultures like the Inca, Aztec, and Maya in the south to Iroquoi, Cherokee Lakota, and Comanche, right up to the tobacco industry in Ireland, it's gotten around. In fact it's even found it's way into our literature, like Tolkien's pipe-weed loving Hobbits, to Robert Jordan's Two River's Tobac, Tobacco has made it's mark.

[@everestjarvik5502]

Tolkien’s pipe weed is probably supposed to be weed, not tobacco. But that’s a small nitpick I suppose

[@Vanic00]

@everestjarvik5502 in the books prologue "Concerning Pipe-weed", Tolkien says they smoke a variety of Nicotiana, which is a relative of the tobacco plant, so there can be little doubt it's Tobacco.

[@ghomerhust]

@@Vanic00 there are lines between gandalf and saruman hinting that smoking too much of the "halfling's leaf has clearly clouded your mind." something tobacco doesn't do, but weed does. similar to the "peace pipe" of the native americans. get everyone stoned a little on some weed, then nobody is aggressive, and we can talk stuff out.

[@placeholderdoe]

I would love to learn about the history of tobacco and the knowledge of its health effects throughout history. And the history of the legislation that limits its advertising, branding, etc.

Can I propose an Extra History series on bread or textiles ?

[@Scot-p1v]

There’s likely a fair bit of overlap between viewers here and readers of acoup blog, but, if you’re not one, he’s a historian who has posted multiple-part series on both bread and textiles. Bret Devereaux is the author and I highly recommend his work (if you like reading)

As someone who grew up in Wisconsin, during brewing season, when you drive past Milwaukee you smell the fermenting beer. It smells homie and like musty if you get me. The homie bit may just be because i grew up just south of there though.

"Financially incentivized company" 🤣 🤣 I love these "complete videos", because I get to enjoy the back catalog without having to expend the required energy to manipulate my touchscreen! Too much work, lol. And thanks for keeping the narration speaking rate consistent with your normal videos, because it was a little bit Disconcerting hearing the difference in your previous complete videos.

History of Beer drops on Blackout Wednesday? Can I get a hell yeah?

[@Skibbityboo0580]

I heard tale that bread is the younger brother of beer. Lot's of early beer was very thick, more like leftover porridge that fermented, and late one night after a particularly awesome bender someone accidentally left their bowl too close to the fire overnight, and in the morning they discovered a very pleasant tasting, fluffy substance to aid in curing their hangover.

[@GreyWasteTim]

Watching this in the morning while getting ready for work was a bad idea. I really want a beer now.

[@EingeborenerVollblutmischling]

4:25 Actually, modern archaeologists regard bread as a byproduct of beer making. 😂

[@gen169]

Please cite your sources I would like to read some of them since most academic sources online suggest bread came first. And how would they even know how to produce beer without bread since the only way neolithic people are able to use yeast is through bread.

Not a word about the true beer country : Belgium.

[@sarahmaxima]

Yeah, still disapointed from that. We have some of the best beers, some unique ways of brewing (lambic) and not to mention the quality. But no, an entire episode on american beer when they were released episodicaly. This was really disapointing. Like they didnt even mention ABInBev if i recall correctly wich is the biggest brewer in the world and is belgian brazilian. This is like making an episode about wine without mentioning france once or making something about pizza and not mentioning Italy.

[@oasntet]

The main difference between yeast in beer and yeast in bread is that yeast produces alcohol from sugar _when it can't get oxygen from anywhere else_ - in fact, early in the brewing process, you often stir up the wort to get oxygen into it, to speed up the yeast's reproduction. Then, later, it runs out of free and easy oxygen and starts ripping oxygen off of the sugar molecules, which is where the ethanol comes from. It's a bit less that yeast poops out ethanol and more that it exhales it. It'd be like if we could breathe by drinking water, yanking the oxygen out of it, and exhaling the hydrogen as a byproduct.
