Seeing grass/poison on pokedoku, knowing there's only one non-poison grass type in gen 1, and immediately watching NL go for it is what keeps me coming back for more.

[@Merith89]

25:20 Unfun fact: Average life expectancy of 30 doesn't mean people keeled over at 30. It means insane levels of infant mortality. ~40% everywhere right up until the mid/late 1800s. Some places had ~30% until the mid 1950s.

[@tryashtar]

This claim is made a lot but I think it's questionable. Especially in a time period where lifespans were largely undocumented, it seems unlikely that statistics on infant mortality were collected, and combined with statistics on deaths of natural causes in such a confounding way. Of course 30 is too low to have ever been considered old age, but advances in medicine have done more to keep us alive longer than just making it past childhood.

[@Merith89]

@tryashtar There were more bureaucracies in history than anyone would expect. Medical science, clean water, labor laws, advances in farming, there's many contributers to today's life expectancy rates. Global population didn't snowball for no reason in the past 150 years, and decreased childhood mortality plays a heavy hand in that. Whether someone dies at 65 vs 85 is unlikely to have much impact on how many children they have. Dying at 5 vs 65 does. Personally, I wouldn't have made it a week without someone fixing my liver upon birth.

[@tryashtar]

@@Merith89 You're definitely right. I'd be interested to see statistics that show, separately, how life expectancy at birth and life expectancy after childhood have increased over time

[@Zootsuitsamus]

After rewatching the sopranos I realized NL got his "nuts on the table" expression from Tony. In season one he says "kumquats on the table" which is close enough in my book

[@ZerosiiniFIN]

As a massive fan of Kalakukko, I appreciate the comedic value NL was able to draw from the "stuffed football"

[@HeckYep]

Does it bother anyone else that the "daily dozen trivia" is only 9 questions? It's a Barstool product so they probably just didn't know what the word meant.

It's sad how wrong the information on foodguesser is on Finnish items. The "kukko" part of the name "kalakukko" originates from a Low German word for a cake of a pie. It shares origin with German "küchen" and English "cake".

[@William1w1]

Are you from the United States of America? Likely because there is no word like "United Statsian" to refer to people from that country, we simply call them Americans. As a result, "America" is now synonymous with "the United States" in Canadian English. If you come to Canada and say "America" and mean anything other than "the United States of America," we won't understand you. If you wish to use the term "America" in the way you suggest, the translation that works in Canadian English would be "the Americas."

[@davidb5205]

South Africa is not a country. It's a region of Africa made of 5 countries. Also Colombians should be forced to collectively change their entire demonym because 'Colombia'/'Columbia' was originally conceived as a reference to all of the New World (+ it's derived from Christopher Columbus).
