[@cleo2010able]

You can actually make "coffee" from roasted dandelion roots and was used as a coffee substitute in world War 2 thought it was mainly used as a light tea. And coffee with chicory is also as popular as it is today becuase the chicory plant is a bitter plant that was used to cut real coffee and not ruin flavor quality. It was used primarily around the 1840s when New Orleans Port was cut off and they used the coffee mix to extend what little supply they had. Thats why you can still get it in stores under the famous "Cafe du Monde" name to this day.

16:06 the “rash” coffee containers like this refer to in real life is usually caused by a “niacin flush”, which is essentially an extreme response to high amounts of niacin found in many caffeine products with artificial components in them that causes your skin to turn red and feel hot for a while as your blood flow near the surface of the skin is greatly increased for a small amount of time. The same kind of warning is found on things like 5 hour energy bottles irl, but they don’t tell you to stop drinking it if it happens. Many caffeine/coffee concentrates would have similar warnings about rashes before niacin flushes were fully understood as a mostly harmless and temporary phenomena.

One funny thing about niacin flushes is that Scientology-related organizations once, no fooling, took advantage of the double meaning of "flush" (and the lack of knowledge of what a "niacin flush" did to the body) to sell large doses of niacin as a quack "cure" for radiation poisoning. This was one of a great many shifty schemes built around the same Cold-War fear of total nuclear war that inspired _Fallout._ No idea if that in particular contributed to the Hubologists as a concept.

What makes you go out there to craft the Teas in 76 is the genius way they made the map and ressources spawn Most flowers and plants can only be found in their specific biomes, meaning 3 teas that look the same, are the same, they just need ingredients from another part of the map Meaning you are most likely to craft things wherever your C.A.M.P is located, or near it Living in the swamp, one will never find cranberries or Soot-flowers, and therefore need to craft different biome based recipe to make up for it Example: the multitude of different antibiotics and healing salves recipes are named based on the biome the ingredients can be found in

[@jedstanaland2897]

The reason why tobacco is used in place of coffee is because the plant can be very productive in very harsh conditions and it can have a similar effect to real coffee. The reduced agility is not common with real coffee but it is common with nicotine. The majority of other things that it does are accurate from a physiological perspective some of those effects are not actually solving the issues but temporarily suppressing the negative effects or making you ignore them. As for the effects on water requirements from both nicotine and caffeine they act like a fairly powerful way to drop water or even as a minor laxative.

first thing that comes to mind with the company tea: whiskey and cream lights up a spark in my brain linking to baileys, so the better thing to search would be baileys, coke and ... whatever the labrador tea would be irl. apparently baileys, due to it being dairy-based, doesn't really work well with coke though? rather, coffee or chocolate, or smooth spirits. apparently the main reason why it's a bad idea to mix the two is because of coke's acidity, because the cream curdles. so maybe nuka cola is less acidic, so maybe coke isn't the best idea - cola is still an enjoyed choice with baileys, but just a different cola than coke. but yeah no clue what the tea would be, seems british borne though.

Making a sword out of ski isn't the best idea, but my brother made a crossbow out of an old ski and some bolts with metal tips. Getting shot with that thing can "F your S up".

0:50 - "I have a birch beer next to me" Wait, wait, wait. Hold up. As someone that grew up in Pennsylvania and knows, I have to ask: is it clear birch beer or the other kind (either root beer-esque in appearance or the red cream-like soda from Pennsylvania Dutch soda company). I ask this because I wish to spread the good word of clear birch beer. It was actually the first kind I had as a kid and loved it only to find out it seems to be the rarest kind around and not many people knowing about it. It burns almost like liquor or ginger beer going down, but it's still sweet. It's magical.

[@forgottenartefact5462]

Maybe the Player doesnt actually drink the tick blood but puts it in their veins somehow if they experience catastrophic blood loss so they dont die? same with blood packs.

[@BayBrick117]

Each time he said “bawls” I heard a vine boom.

Considering that Fallout 4 states that sugar bombs contain 100% of the daily value of sugar it's possible that due to food shortages that people would use them in place of sugar before the Great war.

[@silenttripmine4230]

Have you though about a "the perks of fallout" video? There's many perks which are easy to miss, like the one that grants 10% more damage against ghouls in point lookout, obtainable by reading a book or the lonesome road perk from the same DLC which is granted when you leave ED-E behind

[@mario0de7]

Tree juce is nutricius and healthy (i drank the birch one) and its more like slightly sugary water and im preety sure its not a potent anti microbial fluid the sap is

[@ValosiTiamata]

Potatoes and tomatoes are actually closely related plants. You can purchase tomato-potato plants (where the two have been grafted together to produce tomatoes above ground and tomatoes below ground) from numerous nurseries - Michigan Bulb Co. in the US comes to mind. Considering the food crisis in prewar America, it would make sense for the tomato-potato plants to have gained in popularity, since they can produce two crops for in a single garden space. Thus, when the bombs hit, the mutation could have simply fused the grafts, making the plant evolve into the tato we all know and love.

[@Doctor_Grubious]

You should do the explosives of fallout, IE grenades, the nukes on the sub in 4, the sentinel site nukes, and pretty much every known nuke, bomb, or explosive device in the game

[@MacKennaTheGoddessofRadiation]

The idea of Irradiating (or blasting radiation) at water to kill off the viruses and bacteria with no risk of radiation poisoning isnt actually that far fetched and real life food is often given a similar treatment to kill any parasites

[@Fuzz-Ra]

Yeah, it's totally a thing for stuff that needs to be sterilised but can't be put through the more conventional heat processes. Back when I was a schoolboy *mumble* years ago there was a silly media panic about irradiated fruit in the British papers. I should make clear that British newspapers are the worst pit of yellow press red top scandal sheets you could imagine. Our most prominent paper is the Daily Mail, which is specifically forbidden as a source by Wikipedia. Let that sink in and shudder. ;p

[@encross8058]

Well for a carton you could probably use something like melted wax to make a water tight seal

[@brockschannel3927]

Maybe coyote tobacco has the traits of coffee plants. Also I like think that deezer's lemonade is made with mutfruit and maybe salt (which may explain why it won't reduce thirst)

[@mftarik1255]

Tho nicotine and coffeine go hand in hand I think it would cause stomach aches

[@Karagianis]

7:06 Tomatoes and potatoes are closely related plants, in fact people have combined them irl using grafting so them being combined in fallout actually makes a fair bit of sense.

[@unoriginalperson72]

I think whenever a recipe requires a coffee pot its implying that there is coffee inside the pot, it makes sense if it's found in places with people like cities, BoS and settlements but ones found in abandoned buildings or ruins after 200+ years it would be just a stain in the pot.

[@StagbeetlesRule]

Finally this video. Better have Bawls

[@Arcanua]

Thing to note with sap the properties of it are when applied topically, NEVER ingested. From the way it works in Fallout it is clearly not being used properly and ingested not applied like say a lotion. Sap is nice if you use it right, otherwise you're going to have a rather "fun" time, especially for most trees that aren't maple thanks to water content between each type of tree xD Also honey is the most common sugar substitute, tho...it's still sugar just in a more raw form so makes sense.

[@sandersonTX]

You mentioned being a data analyst as your full-time job. That helps explain the depth of detail you go into, it must be an analyst thing. I'm an analyst too btw, and frequently have your videos playing in my office while working.

[@TheBHAitken]

8:10 - I don't know about disease, but you will definitely get sick. The stuff basically has to get cooked & separated before being made into anything useful.

[@noelleholiday61]

The thing I love most is that, because Tactics is an Interplay era game, it is EQUALLY possible that the Elixir Of Life is the genuine Elixir from the Philosopher's Stone as it is that it's just straight up gasoline

[@JDBriceProductions]

Small note: Brahmin milk is available in Fallout 4 when you get the Slocum Joe's add-on in the Creation Club. Though I cannot recall if it is consumable.

[@zachariahm.kemper7406]

I mean they probably didn't fix the Mr handle arm weapon for the same reason they still haven't fixed the glitch that ended my modless playthrough that if you kill all the robots too fast in that same dlc in the mechanists lab that the game will just skip the trigger for spawning in the next wave, I keep forgetting that happens and it happens every time to me

[@toennchen96]

The company tea sounds like the tea my friend drinks all the time. It's only with whiskey flavour, but it has cream and black tea in it. It's called "O'Connors Cream" in Germany at TeeGschwender

[@gaiuswoltislovewoltislife6661]

Well, there are actually plenty of quote-on-quote "coffees" that aren't made from actual coffee beans. In the former German Democratic Republic for example, coffee beans were fairly hard to come by, so they used roasted barley, rye and chicory instead. Apparently that "Mocca faux" (thats what they called it; don't google it in german) tasted rotten however, because there were demonstrations when the government introduced it.

[@KhrZygarde]

Ah cool to see the Chicory Coffee is not just here in Louisiana.

[@Penn_Senseless]

Please pardon me and this maybe stupid comment, but I genuinely feel bad for not being able to watch your videos recently. I simply haven’t had the time. I love your content, comrade, and congrats on 50k! You deserve every subscriber.

[@slimeprivilege]

41:47 definitely not. it looks nothing like Sokka's sword and either way a sword made from a meteorite is a pretty well-trodden fantasy trope

[@codystaples178]

Raw sap from a sugar maple is great when drunk chilled. Has magnesium and such. Certain saps are chewed like gum to clean teeth and distract the hunger response.

I think the Radstag Redemption drink in Fallout 76 is an obvious refrence to the game series Red Dead Redemption

[@daniellmalcom2573]

The black coffee being from the honest heart dlc is actually so funny to me because joshua and daniel arent allowed to drink caffeine then that joshua sells it. Lmfao Now that youve mentioned it mormons can infact drink HERBAL teas. As long as theres no caffeine in it, its Mormon safe.

[@theonlybilge]

You have the voice of a data analyst, honestly.

[@theonlybilge]

It'd be brilliant if the let's plays/streams that can be made in a few months are just a complete shift from Fallout to something like Metroid speedruns.
