Explorers Discovered Nutrition The HARD Way 

Fabulous way for it to go out

It doesn’t have to die, Rohin.

You had a lot of fun with it, and so did we.

It served us well and shall be missed.

Because they're defective, like humans and fruit bats. The other animals make their own. Our gene got deactivated which did the final step of the recipe for vitamin C. We go to the trouble of making the precursors but then just forget to put the soufflé in the oven.

Yes indeed! For my Guinea Pig stud of 80-100 inhabitants, I gave them weak orange juice in their drip waterers as well as lots of fruit. My GPs grew big, strong and very healthy. But people laughed at me while their pigs died of the usual dietary ailments.

@@thorr18BEM that's very interesting, any source I can read on?

I wonder if there's more to come.

@@Jablicek tune in same time next time to find out!

Love it!

One night shift with a bunch of interns would do it....LOL!!

i find it more impressive that he travelled all the world just to record a under 7 minutes video.

Nice use of incorrigible!

@@thatotherted3555 Tom even takes Sam on his epic journey across the fare distance of one incredible flight.

oh god, please don't provoke a competition

@@carrion1234 Darwin will take care of it, permanently.

Excellent poem

Your verse moves me deep in my bowels

@@MedlifeCrisis that's a bowel movement joke,

@@LeoStaley The comedy in this thread has really gone to sh- ...hell.

This is gold 🤣

It's a very small part of scotland called Jamaica

Oh, that's what it is ...

good tears or bad tears - ??

@@juliaconnell I'm thinking both

@@oleksiishekhovtsov1564 yeh I think so

And the flies swarming around him.

What was the accent between scottish and australian?

@@e.4682 douglas mawson? He was from yorkshire so i assume a yorkish (yorkie? Yorkshireish?) accent

@@zaphodtoasty9208 Yorkshire accent :)

Touch of Mrs Doubtfire in there too.

Honestly it's (probably unintentionally) a fairly reasonable accent that a young first generation Indian immigrant to Glasgow might have

The Aussie accent had a touch of the Kiwi, but by god it was well played.

My God, they're _breeding_ you now? Will English cruelty have no limit?!

That's what I'm picking up, too. (American, here.)

Do guys not want to feel pretty on occasion as well? Play a little dressup?

Just over a month to Halloween...

Sounds like he was trying to copy Richie Benaud.

I agree. He slipped over to Kiwi occasionally, but it was pretty damn good.

@@nu.wa.n he actually said this in reply to another comment! Reminded me of some of the elderly teachers at my Melbourne school in the 80s.

@@nu.wa.n Yes, it sounds a bit Richie. But for some reason it put me in mind of Rob Sitch, doing one of his characters.

Rohin’s a rockstar! 🤠

Came here to say exactly this

As a Schumann myself I endorse this request!

Absolutely! Blackbeard apparently risked capture in order to secure a supply of mercury for injection into his penis. A fitting subject for a Medlife Crisis episode. Perhaps with a demonstration! (No need to use real mercury, obviously).

@@chriswright9096 yes this was my first thought after he spoke about the discovery of the infamous Vitamin Sea!

Oh my. I just realised i severely misspelled the disease name. It is Seaphylis. Or Seaphallus?

@@chriswright9096 Was this what the blockade of Charles Town (with Stede Bonnet) was over?

Yeah, nah, impressed, ay. 'Cept for the bits that sounded slightly Seth Efrikaan 😁

Apart from censoring the swear words, doesn't seem very Aussie

Your standards are pretty low... At least to someone from the Other Hemisphere.

@@transcrobesproject3625 as in, the northern hemisphere?

Indeed, I was shocked at the adequacy. Shocked I say!

If you’re suffering from scurvy, drinking seawater is definitely not going to make you feel better.

I might simply die if I had to eat sauerkraut for my health. I'm a bad Ukrainian lol

Not to mention "we're going to explore the interior of Australia, something never done before!" "Except for these people, who've lived here for over 50,000 years and seem to know their way around! But we'll ignore them!"

@@emilyjanet455 As an Aussie. Can confirm we haven't changed :-(

As an Aussie, can confirm that bit of the story was left out when we were taught about the great Burke and Wills expedition in school. My recollection was that we were taught "they ran out of food".

@@Thermalions unsurprising. Couldn't have kids thinking that millennia of Indigenous knowledge and experience has any value, right? /s

"People are idiots" Good thing we've progressed since then and see none of those effects any more on public policy and healthcare. (/s, I know *you* know, but...you know)

I would assume mostly just by observing that people that do or fail to do certain things seem to go on to get sick, then just teaching their offspring that doing or failing to do those things is harmful. In that respect not much different to how in cultures that still make use of copper cookware parents still warn their children not to prepare acidic things etc in them. This information has been passed down in those cultures for centuries long before anyone figured out exactly why doing this actually makes people sick. That is to say you can still learn a lot by observing outcomes even if you don't understand the connection although of course you can be led up the garden path by the correlation is not causation fallacy. The latter is why old common knowledge is such a mixed bag sometimes the right connections were made other times not so much and myths and superstitions were born.

I don't think it's really an insult, any more than 'yankee' is an insult. It just refers to a person from that place.

It's because limes have much less Vitamin C in them then lemons. So while the Spanish could eat small amounts of lemons, we English would have to eat many times more limes for the same result. So as an insult it's pretty good.

@@doctormo That's not a very satisfying explanation. Still very illogical as an insult.

"Limie" walked to "soy boy" could run

@@doctormo lemon only has about double the vitamin c still quite significant but you make it sound like it is 5 times

Oh 100% I was like “I’ve got this beard and a green screen…what can I do?”

A quick Google indicates they only recommend a low dose (10 micrograms / 400 UI). I don't know about the UK, but here in Australia where it's not an issue (unless you simply don't go outside), the standard supplement doses available to purchase start at 1000 UI.

Two oranges and a lemon a day keeps the scurvy away! According to Dr Lind

Well ignoring anyone who is spouting information on tiktok, facebook or instagram; or is selling or taking a commission on supposed healthy diet solutions should get rid of quite a bit of rubbish noise. Personally I still ascribe to the old faithful: ensure a mix of various fresh fruits, vegetables, grain, dairy and meat.

My guess is "Ebay"

@@patavinity1262 my, thanks for the correction. :))

These RU-vidrs are so lame with their slavish addiction to analytics, pah! Now please excuse me as I need to optimise my beard growth in my pressure-controlled topiary tent before my 2 hour beard conditioning routine, CPM was 0.01 with a lustrous beard.

Chin, cheeks, handlebar stash

Not only that, he had to regrow it between the first and second segments. ;)

@@Thermalions Holly molly, graviolly! ... But, at least, he has more time to memorize the lines.
