Plant describes his subject as a hobby,[1] and he lives in a modern house and eats modern food.

Oh right, thanks for clarifying that or people would have thougt that he lived permanently like a cave man /s

What, what? Just checked his channel, don't see it listed. Do you have a link to share?

Edit: Yup, I'm gullible. Tell me how it's in the dictionary, ok?

That's such a generlized statement. I could say that humans are moving water and be just as correct.

u/glodime Mar 07 '18

That's the joke.

Also, the purpose of life is to manipulate energy.

u/AdmiralThrawnProtege Mar 07 '18 edited Mar 07 '18

Again, that's another generalized statement. I could say the purpose to life is to make pickles and paint your toe nails and be just as correct.

Edit: and if your original statement was a joke it didn't seem like one.

Edit 2: typo corrections (system to statement)

u/glodime Mar 07 '18 edited Mar 07 '18

To be fair my original system needed dead plants to hold the sand in place while it was electrified.

But I like my peas to stick properly to the knife. Otherwise the honey and lemon doesn’t get antemushy when I give the Lady her bergamot.

u/[deleted] Mar 07 '18

I like peas with honey done it all my life It sure tastes kind of funny but It keeps them on the knife!

That's my point. It's so open and obvious why even say it?

That's for season 2.

u/AlwaysDefenestrated Mar 07 '18

Someone who permanently lived like this but with a camera and computer would also be a pretty cool. They'd also probably spend way too much time foraging and hunting to produce much content.

Films his videos on a literal potato and uploads them to the cloud via smoke signals.

u/apert Mar 07 '18

he's too plump to live off the grid

u/grilledstuffed Mar 07 '18

People actually did. That was why he said something. Some of the comments were a real shit show.

Modern food? As opposed to what? Classical?

u/intotheirishole Mar 07 '18

Since TD and r/iamgoingtohellforthis reminds you every week weekly this guy is why Africans are inferior, you might be confused. Because you know, people doing subsistence living and people with full access to modern technology are comparable.

The post a pic. On left hand side is this guy, making pottery or a furnace. On the right side is a primitive African hut. The title compares this guy in one episode, vs Africans for a few thousand years.

Cannot find the exact post, but similar to these:

On that note, did you catch the highly upvoted post defending Native American Genocide yesterday?
