The reason sailors distrust bananas is because they excrete some chemical as they ripen which makes other fruit ripen faster, which hastens the spoiling of whatever fruits are stored for the sailors to eat and places everyone in danger of developing scurvy

[@joelrobinson5457]

Yet bananas, that being their peel, we're often used to prevent scurvy, ironically

[@Max2478]

yep, ethanol I believe

[@notmyrealname3576]

Actually all ripening fruits and vegetables produce it, it’s just that bananas when they do turn, turn quick and they release a lot more than most than they do.

[@ardugaleen2231]

Also, from my uncle who was in the french navy, sailing in the caraibean, bananas often have a parasitelike plant on them which gives you la dingue idk how to say it in english but it's a pretty bad diseases.

I want to play too, and most of my friends won’t put the time in. They’ll play shooters all day and night but won’t do anything table top with me.

[@LoveLee_Dreamer]

Fun fact, because most people don't know this: The bathroom/toilets on old ships were at the head of the boat (the front where the pointy part sticks out), and only the captain would have a private toilet in his quarters, though passenger rooms might have a chamber pot. That's why bathrooms are sometimes called a head, literally because of where they were placed on ships. The reason they were placed there is because the water would flush out the waste when a wave hit, so you wouldn't have to clean it yourself.

[@TWay-xn9dm]

That's interesting

[@Camandersol]

Huh, that's actually something I've been wondering for quite awhile now but just haven't ever bothered to actually Google it, thanks

[@techmarine83]

Half the reason. Smell was another, wind came from aft to fore so it would blow the smell away.

[@andywap3]

Is this also where the term, "poop deck", comes from?

[@SetchDreskar]

@@andywap3 No that is a corruption of a french term that became the naming convention of it. The french called that deck 'la poupe' which just referred to the stern deck roof. So over time it just became corrupted by english speakers, much as english is a corruption of french and german to begin with, la poupe just became the poop and hence the poop deck.

[@samedwards7616]

Not sure how I got recommended your shorts but had to watch some long form, well done you guys are hilarious!

[@JakePlaysGames8878]

This channel, "legends of Avantris" has kept me grounded on the earth in a good way, i dont feel like my head is floaty, "anxiety"

[@Jakecos]

Wow, this was intense. I love sessions with a mystery/horror vibe and this has made my day :)

[@heathenHyenaa]

Richie handing Barnabos the body of the Captain because he doesn't want to be guilty for throwing a paralyzed man overboard lmao

[@InternetExplorationalist]

Just finished watching once upon a witchlight and catching up before the hiatus. I'm so excited to continue

[@curtiscooper2621]

The chrono cross soundtrack kicking in when it did was fire!!

[@TeslaBear-ne7jq]

as someone who has watched the whole dang series its reallll weird seeing how everyone played their characters in the beginning.

[@lilsmile0115]

I found y’all through Instagram, and I absolutely love how your group fits together so well. And you have an amazing DM aswell :)

[@LegendsofAvantris]

SUCH kind words. Thank you so much!

[@jauua3494]

Loving this so far. Stumbled on your shorts and im really enjoying all the laughter

[@Commander204]

I love both Queenie being the sweet and innocent southern gal, most times, and Skrimm being just like Booker that the moment someone says something to derail his fun and enjoyment he has the same, "I'm sorry, what?" reaction most people would have to that kind of information. Andy and Nikkie have some of the best character moments.

[@godoftheunderworld6882]

as soon as i saw this one yt short on one of these videos I knew I had to start binge watching the whole series now im watching once upon a witchlight and I cant wait for more of this

[@MAVOgirl]

Just found you guys after trying like 4,000 episode 1s that all started with 30-45mins of announcements. Thank you for getting straight to it ❤

[@user-ok4pk2mp3e]

Oh, I'm really glad they fixed the mic early on in the session. I initially stopped watching because of that, but I'm really interested in a survival DND story!

[@Mmc.879]

1:44 this is my first time seeing Andy with short hair and I'm....it's not bad but he looks like a young college freshman versus how he usually looks which is more,,, rugged? he cute tho

[@N1GHT_ST0RM]

Wow. I am absolutely hooked. I never actually watched 5 Hours of DnD actively. Usually it just runs in the Background when I work but the tension in this one kept me transfixed. Can't wait to see this campaign to the end.
