Fredric Baur, the inventor of the Pringles can, is buried in one
弗莱德里克·鲍尔，品客薯片罐子的发明者，就埋在品客薯片罐子里。
Whichever one of us finds him in the winning can gets to tour the Pringles factory.
要是我们之中有哪个在决胜罐里找到他，我们就能去他的品客工厂了。
On condition that he's not eaten
前提是他还没被吃掉。

Sour cream and onion by now.
现在是洋葱酸奶油味的了。
I think it'd be Smoky flavor.
我以为是烟熏味的。
Because that is called cannibalism, my dear children, and that is frowned upon in most societies.
因为这叫食人，我亲爱的孩子们，绝大多数社会里人们听了是要皱眉头的。
It’s not cannibalism if he’s ashes. It’s seasoning.
假如他烧成灰儿了就不算食人了。顶多算调味品。
Is he cremated or buried in a giant Pringles can?
他是火化之后再装进去的，还是整个埋进一个巨型品客罐子的？
I feel stupid for not even THINKING of cremation, i just thought “damn must be a bigass can”
我甚至连想都没想火化这个可能，我可真够蠢的，我只是想“干这罐子有够大噢”

Then again, perhaps it's 7 feet wide and 10 feet long, buried vertically. This way, as his descendants pass, they can be stacked.
那这样的话或许是7英尺宽10英尺长的罐子，垂直埋下去。这样他的子孙后代死了之后就可以摞起来了。
according to google a portion of his ashes are in a Pringles can. So yeah cremated
根据谷歌的搜索，他把一部分骨灰放进了品客薯片罐子里。所以确实，是火化的。
Technically they're not ashes, FDA states they are ashes made from processed ash
准确地说不是骨灰，按照食药局的规定这是骨灰（由骨灰加工而成）。
Some say they sprinkle a portion of him in every Pringle can to give it that extra flavor we all know and love.
有人说他们会往每一罐品客薯片里都洒一点点他，好让薯片带上我们都知道并喜欢的那种特别风味。
Rumour has it, his ashes are pressed into lots of perfectly fitting hyperbolic paraboloid shapes and are stacked on top of each other within the can.
有人说他的骨灰被压成了好几片完美贴合的双曲抛物面形状（译注：由马铃薯淀粉制作的薯片的形状），在罐子里一个挨一个地叠起来。
He didn't die. He just expired.
他没死。他只是过期了。

WELCOME BACK TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND TODAY WE ARE GOING TO OPEN THIS GIANT PRINGLES MYSTERY BOX
欢迎回到我的YouTube频道，今天我们要开这个巨大的品客盲盒
This was to prevent him coming back as a lich, because no-one can reach into the bottom of the can to get ALL of his ashes.
这是为了防止他变成巫妖回来，因为没人能够到品客罐子的最底下，把他的所有骨灰都掏出来。

Did you know his initial intention was to make tennis balls. But on the day that the rubber was supposed to show up, a big truckload of potatoes arrived. But Pringles was a laid-back company. He said "F**k it. Cut 'em up! We can play tennis later."
你们知道吗，他最开始是想要做网球的。但是在橡胶到货的那天，有一大卡车的土豆晕了过来。但品客当时是个很放松的公司。他说“去他妈的，把它们切了！咱们可以待会儿再打网球。”
Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, Savoy cabbage, kohlrabi, and gai lan are all the same species of plant (Brassica oleracea), just bred to enhance different parts of the plant.
包菜，西蓝花，花椰菜，羽衣甘蓝，抱子甘蓝，洋葱甘蓝，皱叶甘蓝，球茎甘蓝和甘蓝都是同一种植物（甘蓝），只不过为了培养植物的不同部位而分出了不同品种。
If you ever read the parable of the mustard seed in the Bible, that refers to black mustard, a plant of the same cluster. Apparently it is similar to 8’ high purple broccoli. Good to eat, but it runs wild like brambles if of gets in your garden.
假如你读过圣经里那个芥末籽的预言，那个指的是黑芥末，也是同一个集群的植物。显然它和8英寸高的紫甘蓝很像。吃起来不错，但假如在花园里种的话它会像荆棘一样疯长。
Most of the camels of Saudi Arabia are imported from Australia

The largest wild population of camels is also in Australia.
世界上最大的野生骆驼种群也在澳大利亚。
Camel milk is a booming industry in Australia at the moment...
现在骆驼奶是澳大利亚非常有前途的产业……
大概6年前，这个产业还没人听说过。现在光是在维多利亚州北部就有3个骆驼乳制品工厂了。
那个离我家不到10公里的乳制品工厂不得不适应新冠肺炎疫情了——通常来说他们会从澳大利亚中部捕获野骆驼，但是因为我们州封城了，他们就只能自己抚养了……我记得到现在为止已经生了80头小骆驼了？反正牧场主让小骆驼们和妈妈待在一起，自然哺育。它们超级可爱，我开车路过的时候能看见那些小骆驼们到处跑！我记得它们大概要一岁大才能断奶，并且直到四岁左右才性成熟。它们挤出的奶也比奶牛要少太多了（差不多四分之一），所以……赶上需求的量挺难。

但贵是真他娘的贵，有点可惜。
我们买了个小小的一升的瓶子，就花了16澳元！所以尽管我们很喜欢喝，但我们再也没买过。
And here I am, am Australian, not even realising that there are any camels here at all
我作为一个澳大利亚人，甚至不知道这里有骆驼。
theyre a huge pest out in the middle basically. They shoot them from copters, there was a hubbub in the US on The View I think, when they found out they did that. Of course, they didn't go into how they're terrible for the environment here. Some people then said, well at least use the meat for petfood or something. Clearly not realizing that shifting bulk dead camel from the middle of literally nowhere would be insanely expensive and clearly not worth it.
总地来说在澳大利亚中部有很大的一个种群。他们从直升机上对他们开枪，美国的视野脱口秀还为此争论过一阵子。当然，他们没说过这种行为对当地的环境有多大的影响。有人之后说，好吧至少可以把骆驼肉拿去做宠物粮什么的。显然没有意识到把荒郊野外的骆驼尸体运回去会贵的离谱，并且显然毫不值得。
Australia has such weird animals. It's like Noah had a second ark that ran aground on Australia.
澳大利亚的怪动物真多。就好像诺亚造了两艘方舟，第二艘在澳大利亚搁浅了。
uh, yes but people seem to be getting confused between wild animals and native animals. Camels arent native to australia, they brought over by the british from india and middle east.
呃，没错但是人们有时会把野生动物和当地原产动物搞混。骆驼并不是澳大利亚当地的动物，他们是被美国人从印度和中东带过来的。
`Little-known fact: they swam there after escaping Saudi Arabia.
没人知道的事实：他们是从沙特逃出来之后游到澳大利亚的。
We also sell them sand. Seriously.
我们也往沙特卖沙子。真的。
The sand they need must be rough, desert sand is too round to be used in construction or terraforming.

And if I remember correctly we sell sand to Hawaii
假如我没记错的话，我们也往夏威夷卖傻子
Yes, Waikiki is naturally volcanic, so they cover it with sand from Stockton.
没错，威基基岛是火山岛，所以他们铺一层斯托克顿的沙子。
I was told by a few locals whilst visiting Hawaii that Waikiki beach is manmade and the sand was imported from Australia as well.
在我去夏威夷旅游的时候，有几个当地人告诉我威基基岛是人造的，并且沙子是从澳大利亚进口的。
actually, there is a very interesting article about the fact that we go to "sand depletion", because all sand is not equal for our uses (concrete first of all) https://www.cdeglobal.com/news/2020/october/sand-depletion-global-crisis

说到骆驼，骆驼并不是一种适应炎热气候的，而是适应干燥气候的生物，这两个根本不是一回事。
Similar, Saudi Arabia is the world’s largest importer of sand
类似的，沙特阿拉伯是世界上最大的沙子进口国。
People always post this. I looked it up the other night to show a friend, turns out Saudi Arabia doesn’t actually “import all its camels” from Australia. The camels they ride and race are indigenous, the camels they import from Australia are simply for their meat, which is a delicacy. Nobody ever includes these details.
人们总是会发这个。我有天网上为了跟朋友说而去查了一下，结果发现沙特阿拉伯并不是从澳大利亚“进口所有的骆驼”。他们用来骑和比赛的骆驼是当地原产的，而进口自澳大利亚的骆驼完全是用来吃肉的，骆驼肉在那里是名菜。根本没人愿意包括这些信息。

要我说，专利这种东西就应当被废掉。专利只应该为某个东西的发明者提供荣誉，要不然它就会成为阻碍进步和经济增长的东西。
Thats a terrible idea, then you’ll have small inventors making an innovative new product or idea, only to have a massive conglomerate like Amazon or Google steal it from under you. Or let’s say you make a medication to help.... in bed. So a simple life improvement medication. You spend millions of dollars on research, laboratories, testing, clinical trials, failed formulas and so on. And years later you finish.... only to have your formula stolen by a competitor who sells it under their brand name.
这个主意真的太糟了，这样的话你就会看见小的发明家想出一个创造性的新产品或是新主义，然后被亚马逊或者谷歌这种巨型企业偷走。或者你发明一种给别人带来帮助的药物。普通的能改善生活质量的东西。你在研发，实验室，测试，临床测试，失败的配方上花了上百万美元，过了好几年终于完成了……却被你的竞争对手偷走，被他们贴自己的商标出售。
版权和专利对于经济发展是至关重要的。
You spend millions of dollars on research, laboratories, testing, clinical trials, failed formulas and so on
引用：“你在研发，实验室，测试，临床测试，失败的配方上花了上百万美元”
药物研发是有政府补贴的。所以下次你花600块钱买一片没有它就活不成的药（生产成本只有5美元）的时候，请记住是你他妈先给那帮发明了这个药的恶毒、贪婪的婊子们打钱的。
药物专利是内生地，道德上错误的。
Not that I'm defending high drug prices (there is a lot that goes into it that could be improved) but drug development is hugely expensive and a significant risk for the company. Only about 5 in 5,000 drugs that a company "invents" makes it to clinical testing. Then, after extremely expensive and time-consuming clinical trials only 1 will make it to market. The whole process takes, on average, 12 years so you also have to have enough money to run the company for that long. So when the drug actually gets to market, it has to make up the losses from the 5,000 failed drugs as well as the successful one. Otherwise the company goes out of business and nobody gets their medicine.
我并不是在为药品的高价辩护（价格中有很大部分是可以改善的），但药物研发是非常昂贵的，并且会给公司带来显著的风险。在公司发明的每5000种药物中，只有5种能够进入临床测试。然后在经过极端昂贵耗时的临床测试之后，只有1种药物能最终进入市场。整个过程平均需要12年的时间，所以你还得有足够的钱让公司经营那么久。所以当药物上市的时候，它得把5000种失败的药物和一种成功的药物的损失都赚回来。要不然公司就会倒闭，就没人能吃药了。
我并非在说贪婪和赚钱就不是问题了（毕竟这也是一门生意）。我只是想说药物贵有贵的理由，假如你想要改变这个现状，你得在诸多因素之间做好平衡。
I was actually was wondering that today I went on a walk saw a fire hydrant and thought “who came up with this”
我今天走在路上的时候，看见消防栓还真的在想“谁想出这玩意儿的”
Volkswagen makes a currywurst and it has its own Original Part number. #199 398 500 A
大众公司生产一种咖喱香肠，并且香肠有自己的汽车零件编号。
Yup, they produce more sausages than cars, if i remember correctly
没错，他们生产的香肠比车还多，假如我没记错的话。
This is True, Richard Hammond does a documentary called Big where he goes to massive factories, Oil rigs etc. and see's how they work, The episode on the Volkswagen factory was amazing, They make more Sausages than cars in it, The whole plant is so large and the operation so big they have no room to keep parts onsite, So they have a system where parts arrive just in time to be used, When stock arrives on site it's used between 1 and 6 hours later. Sorcery
是这样的，理查德·哈蒙德拍过一个叫《理查德·哈蒙德的超级工程》的纪录片，他拜访各种巨大的工厂，油井之类的地方，看看这些东西的工作原理。拍大众工厂的那一集很棒，他们在工厂里制造的香肠比车都多，整个工厂特别大，并且生产工作规模也特别大，以至于它们没有在厂内储存零部件的地方，他们有个系统，零件运达之后刚好就会被用上，存货到达工厂之后只要1到6个小时也会被用上。简直是魔法。
It's not sorcery it's logistics
这不是魔法，这是后勤
Sorcery level logistics tho.
魔法级别的后勤吧
As someone who works there: Yeah. The logistics is mi d of crazy. Not all areas work like this, but wherever this is applicable it’s done JIS (Just in time) indeed. It’s also a little scary as I as a forklift driver or machine operator could easily bring at least one entire production line to a complete halt as everything here is connected and interlixed. Once the buffer of parts after your department runs out and you haven’t fixed the problem, the production could grind to a halt very quickly.
作为一个在那里工作的人：没错。后勤真的非常疯狂。并不是所有区域都像这样工作，但只要能做到，就要正好及时地做到。其实也挺可怕的，因为我作为叉车司机或者机械操作员就可以很轻松地把至少一整条生产线拖到完全停产，因为这里的每一样东西都是互相连接的。一旦你所述的部门的备用零件也用没了，而你还没把问题处理好，那么整条生产线会非常快地陷入停滞。
And they taste quite good ;)
那个香肠尝起来还很不错
Wish I could try, I've never been able to get to Germany yet, but hopefully soon!
真希望我能尝尝，我还从没去过德国，但希望我能马上去！
It's actually easy to make yourself. Fry some bratwurst then add onions, passata sauce and curry powder. Pour it on top of fries.
其实你自己做挺简单的。煎几根煎香肠，然后加上洋葱，帕萨塔调味酱和咖喱粉。最后浇到炸薯条上。
Its not the same authenticity if it doesn't actually come from VW, but I'll totally have to try it!
不是大众的那就没意思了，但我也得试一试！
It's street food so if it doesn't taste unhealthy then you're doing it wrong
那是种街头小吃，所以假如你做的尝起来没那么不干不净的话，你就做错咯。
yess, they have an in house factory and its really cool. I saw it on Richard Hammonds series BIG on Discovery+, where he goes on a tour of their (main) biggest factory in Germany. interesting watch!

A fungi grows next to the highly radioactive "Elephant's Foot" in the Chernobyl reactor. It feeds off the gamma rays emitted by the nuclear fuel in a process known as "radiosynthesis". If you were exposed to similar levels of radiation, you would have a lethal dose in 3 minutes.
一种在切尔诺贝利核反应堆高度放射性的“大象脚”旁边生长的真菌。它通过一种名为“辐射合成”的过程从核燃料的伽马射线中获取养分。假如你被暴露在这种级别的辐射中，你3分钟之后就会吸收到致死量。
（译注：“大象脚”是切尔诺贝利反应堆燃料棒融解后与熔融的周围物质混合，沿管道流淌至地下并冷却形成的放射性物质堆，因形如大象的脚而得名）
Radiotrophic fungus was first discovered at the Chernobyl site in 1991, just after the collapse of the Soviet unx and the start of internationally-aided cleanup/containment efforts. Not so sure about right next to the Elephant's Foot, but it was definitely found growing in large, flourishing colonies all throughout the site's cooling water supply.
辐射营养真菌是1991年在切尔诺贝利核事故地点第一次被发现的，在苏联解体后，国际援助清理/收容行动开始时。不太确定是不是在大象脚旁边，不过显然是在事故地点冷却水循环系统中到处大量生长。
这种真菌似乎是使用黑色素——与赋予人类各种肤色的黑色素完全相同的色素，唯一区别在于浓度更高，高得多——来为从核衰变中获得能量进行制糖反应功能，原理与植物和蓝细菌使用叶绿素这种绿色色素来吸收（阳）光中的能量合成糖类一样。
基本上这玩意就是个史上颜色最深的霉菌菌落，并且它们用这种颜色来吃辐射。
类似的真菌在低轨航天器的外壳上也被发现过，最近（2018-2019年）进行的试验研究了这种东西能不能用来给宇航员抵抗太阳/宇宙辐射。显然，结果很乐观！
Imagine going into space in a mushroom suit
想象一下穿着一套蘑菇去太空
I already have been to space with mushrooms.

I was just thinking, is this why nuclear bombs produce mushroom clouds?
我在想，这是核弹爆炸之后会产生蘑菇云的原因
It's air bullshit, largely. A powerful bomb causes a large bubble of high-temperature gases to form. Hot gases have a lower density and higher volume, so they quickly rise upwards while expanding along the way. This causes a form of turbulent vortex to form below it, pulling up smoke, debris, and water vapour into the "stem" while largely constraining it from expanding horizontally. Eventually, the bubble of hot gas reaches an altitude where the air is of equal density and stops rising.
基本上是空气动力的狗屁。一个威力很大的炸弹会形成一个巨大的高温气体泡。高温气体的密度更小、体积更大，所以会快速地上升，并且向上扩张。这会在它的下面形成一个涡旋，把烟尘、残骸和水蒸气吸到它的“茎干”里，很大程度地束缚它的水平扩散。最终，热气团上升到内外气体密度相等的高度，就停止再上升了。

Their gut bacteria is very temperature dependent. Due to Global Warming (tm), the temp in the Caribbean can go below its more usual 23C down to about 20C at times, which will kill their digestive bacteria, so they can't digest what they eat. Sloths can't regulate their body temperature well, so they can't maintain an internal temp to stop this happening.
