The lyrics are "Jeremy Spoke in class today". I had no idea, just assumed "Jeremy's Spoken" then Vedder-mumbles.

Yeah, you have to be fluent in Mumble, especially for early Pearl Jam. Vedder likes to elide across consonants a lot. Some of the songs I only know because I finally had to refer to the liner notes (back when that was still a thing)

I went to a private religious college and our groups had to take turns for morning prayer in the chapel. We snuck Jeremy in for that 'gently caress' - every kid would giggle knowing it was coming.

Oh and by the way - they released the uncensored version of the video this week:

Hell they have at least one song where there aren't even any lyrics, Eddie just yarls phonemes for 5 minutes (Yellow Ledbetter, great song tho).

And the "gently caress" in Jeremy is especially swallowed even by those standards, he knew what he was doing

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

How is "strong flavour" not 100% the same thing as "tasty"? If they meant strong bad flavour they would've said so.

Ginseng root has a strong flavor. Wouldn't say it's tasty.

Well, while I did know that we currently eat the genetic mutant that is the Cavendish, AND that the previous "generic banana" was the Gros Michel...I was not aware of the pronunciation.

It's a good thing I've never had to say it out loud to anyone, because I absolutely was calling it "Gross Michael" in my head...not "Grow Michelle".

The banana flavor thing is a fun coincidence.

Banana flavoring predates easy availability of bananas in North America by a decade or more. Some jerks decided to take the chemical that they used in Western Europe as pear flavoring (Isoamyl acetate), and send it to North America calling it banana. People wouldn't know better and banana flavored items would sell because they were a rare, exotic thing to most people.

It turns out that bananas actually have quite a bit of isoamyl acetate compromising their flavor anyway. Gros Michel bananas have more than Cavendish so banana flavoring tastes more like them, but again just coincidence.



Also the reason grape jelly doesn't taste like grapes as the video says is because it's made from concord grapes.

Carrots were originally raised for their greens (they're still good, try them!), so I'd assume the root didn't taste any good if people weren't eating it.

Are concord grapes just not available to most people?

I know they aren't found in stores as easily as your standard red and green grapes, but growing up they were always my favorite and I looked forward to late summer/early fall when they could be had.

What always baffles me about evolution deniers is all the crap like this where we can prove humans made things evolve a certain way. I mean for fucks sake look at dogs. We went from wolves to pugs just by making certain ones bang.

As far as I remember they draw a distinction between a thing evolving slightly differently to what it used to be compared to a thing turning into a completely different thing. So a creationist might be okay with the concept of us turning wolves into dogs but not that cats and dogs share an ancestor. Obviously biologically there's no difference but that's how they justify that one.

Well that boggles my mind even more, at least I can imagine a banana tasting more like banana candy, but that flavor has nothing in common with what I'd think of for pears :psyduck:

Bananas taste better when green, and pears taste better when yellow.

Here's some diagrams from a Creationist museum!





And their arguments for human evolution is "Okay, we'll acknowledge that it happened for every other species on the planet but not humans, they never ever evolved."

God, why did both Lifesavers AND Skittles change their green flavors from lime to green apple in the last few years? gently caress them both. Lime was the best flavor for BOTH of them.

Also, pineapple flavor candy is all garbage. So now there's two flavors in a standard Lifesavers roll I won't touch.

Lime skittles ruled but green apple is a major improvement for lifesavers. Their line ones always tasted off somehow.
