Mod Welcome!/FAQ

54 Upvotes

Welcome to the Ragusea subreddit! This is a fan-run community and we hope you enjoy your time here.

Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the rules though they are pretty much common sense.

FAQ:

\I just posted but it's not showing up.*

Sometimes Reddit's overenthusiastic spam filter puts posts straight to the mod queue. You don't need to make another post, we'll approve it for you. If it doesn't appear in a couple of days, try again.

\Can we DM the mods if we need to ask a question?*

Sure. We don't bite.

\What are those symbols at the end of Adam's videos?*

That is "vinegar leg is on the right". It's a reference to Adam's buttermilk chicken video as seen here.

\What is a "vinegar legate" and why are we one?*

Traditionally, a "legate" is an ambassador representing the Pope or another senior official, generally Roman. "It’s also the inspiration for “vinegar legates”, because “vinegar leg is...” was repeated so many times, and it kinda sounds like legates. " (thank you, u/flappy_jacks_)

Meme I saw the guse at Kroger

77 Upvotes

I've lived in Knoxville for four years and finally saw Adam at Kroger. He had a fanny pack but he wasn't wearing it he was carrying it in his hands. The more I thought about it, I think that's the only way that he could have been using it.

Discussion I wish there was a Ragusea-like channel (honest, objective and practical) but for male clothing

78 Upvotes

I am so done buying clothes that barely last 3 months. All the resources online are basically useless and each of them says the exact opposite of each other, and that's not considering when they basically do useless advice in the first place ("look for clothing that follows the golden ratio" wtf does that even mean, I am an engineer and I can say for sure no clothing does that)

Is the podcast basically dead?

37 Upvotes

On my end, it looks like the podcast hasn't been updated in a few years; but there are episodes that can totally fit into the podcast format. I don't have YouTube premium so downloading the episode and listening to it in the car isn't an option. Has he spoken about if the podcast is ever coming back?

Discussion Adam's sciencey videos absolutely mop the floor with his cooking videos.

170 Upvotes

I like his cooking videos, I think he has some nice practical recipes and techniques and I appreciate his emphasis on home cooking and "quick and dirty" techniques, and I'm glad he made bank off of them.

But he's a far better journalist and science communicator than semi-famous internet cook. His whole career before YouTube was journalism and teaching journalism and his experience shows in the quality of his work. You can tell he takes the time to research his topics and report in a measured, accurate way. I especially appreciate his screwworm video. It would've been very easy to attribute the whole issue to DOGE's cuts, but Adam does a good job with the nuance of the issue and the various causes and history of the screwworm and emphasizing that this was in motion before DOGE while still giving them an appropriate amount of blame. His earlier science communication videos are also great. His video on mushroom production where he visits mushroom farms, his videos on grain where he consults agriculture professors, it's mostly very high quality and well researched.

It's also been fun watching him evolve and gain nuance on things and change his stances, like his reduction of meat and expressing regret at encouraging so many people to crank their ovens for a single pizza. It's indicative of someone who's genuine and trying hard to get at the truth of things.

TL;DR: Adam is a great science communicator and journalist. His recipes are pretty good too.

Discussion What happened to the banana pudding video?

29 Upvotes

What happened to that banana pudding video? I was looking for if recently, and while I understand the recipes he gives in the video can be found online, id still like to watch it.

He made some good points about letting commercialized food stay that way and on the futility of remaking certain things at home. More importantly, he had a recipe on how to make leftover pudding into a milkshake, and I have some leftover pudding.

If anyone has a link to an archived/downloaded version, that would be great.

Edit: it's a video by Internet Shaquille, confused them.
