The actual danger of feeding a baby water and flour slurry is that raw flour can contain salmonella and E. Coli. There's been several salmonella outbreaks connected to raw flour, even this year. Always cook your flour.
@@OrbObserver It's also the same with honey. I know some people either use honey or drinking alcohol on their baby's gums when they started teething. Don't really think that's the best idea.
The average human will learn jack and shit about nutrition. This has been the case for all of human history. That is how utterly brain dead the average person is. People cannot understand the concept of calories or macro nutrients. All you have to do is look at the steadily increasing obesity rates and the UNBROKEN CHAIN of fad diets women come up with to lose weight since time immemorial.
My granddad likes to keep an open garbage can near his garage and he tells me it’s to collect rainwater. Considering he’s from the lead generation, I’m not going to bother explaining to him why it’s a bad idea.
The Romans spread the idea that lead was the best material for plumbing, so for more than 1000 years, all the biggest warring civilizations, including England, Spain, France and Germany have had lead poisoning. And our grandparents say millennials are the problem because we're too sober and soft :D.
3:30 "Eat food until you're not sad any more" It's all fun and games until depression kicks in and you're eating all day c: Don't worry though! The scale will make things way worse later! c: This totally isn't a spiral
While I'm not a boomer, I was COMPLETELY oblivious to lead paint EVEN BEING A THING MANG. This was truly educational, and now I'm just baffled. But I guess this was another "we smoked before we even had a clue it would affect us badly"-type story of ye olde eldrich history. Thanks on shining attention to this Woolie & Pat, truly educational podcast, holy shit.
In my elementary school there was lead paint on the walls and they warned us not to pick at it but the more they told us not to do it more we did it. Especially in the bathroom where there wasn't any teachers watching. I was born in 93
Of you think that's bad? The Victorians used arsenic in makeup and wallpaper. Under the right circumstances, the arsenic could vaporize and you would breathe it in.
If you want to be even more baffled, since lead often has a sweet taste, there was a time (like long, LONG ago) when lead was used as a sweetener in things like wine. It's also partially why lead paint was such a problem, because kids loved to chew on it and eat the sweet paint flakes.
Humans? You mean industrial capitalists. Four thousands of years humans were doing fine, it wasn't until industrialization that this shit happened AND the truth was hidden by companies, like studies done in the 70s by big oil companies that showed how messed up it was getting but decided to hide it to protect their profits.
@@jacobsmith4428 This is why the line at the end of Extra Credits' series on the South Sea Bubble always stuck with me when I heard it for the first time: "This is a good lesson. I hope we learn it someday." The major issue that they covered in that series - an economic bubble bursting due to over-evaluation and extreme speculation of the early 18th century South Seas Company which was built on lies and nothing - is just something that happens over and over again and no one with power in business ever learns from it. And of course, it's far from the only issue that cycles throughout history too.
Fun fact, when leaded gasoline and freon inventor Thomas Midgley Jr. contracted polio in 1940 and was left severely disabled, he invented a pully system to get himself out of bed, which he got caught in and accidently strangled himself to death.
No no no, the hole in the ozone layer is still there. It IS healing but its still there. I live in New Zealand, which has one of the highest rates of skin cancer because of the lack of ozone and we still need to avoid the sun and wear sunblock and so on. It's just that people have convinced themselves everything is fine based on a few headlines they didn't read. But it not going to be fixed for years.
true but unlike climate change we as a collective society actually took steps to make sure it didn't get worse, something that will never happen again in this lifetime
It's still there, but it is actively healing and we have done massive overhauls in regards to what aerosols we use. It will take time to recover, obviously, but it is healing and we've done precisely what has to be done to facilitate that healing.
as I am working a retail job, Boomer lead stare is such a real thing. you have to actively keep yourself from thinking less of the average older person due to how much boomers and older millennials act like legit NPCs all the time.
god i have this problem with my mother constantly. shes a firm believer that being unsanitary helps to build your immunities, and "MY mom did it this way and WE didnt die!"
It actually does the reverse. The immune system is like a resource that gets drained the more often it's used. This is why repeat cold, flu, and cvid infection is not a good idea.
I have hypoglycemia so I get very emotional or anxious over nothing very easily if I'm a few hours behind on eating a meal. I also have to be careful to not have too much sugar because then I also become an emotional asshole when my blood sugar drops. This happens for normal people too just not the my extreme, so much so that there's an acronym in the mental health community you use to check in on yourself when you're feeling it and it's called HALT and H stands for hunger. I don't know it by heart but it's basically, have you eaten, have you drank any water, are you feeling lonely or tired?
At this point im inagining anyone with lead to basically have the butchers nails from warhammer 40k inside them. Just randomly at one point the lead kicks in and makes them angry for no reason.

i call them the lead based generation at this point because you can just TELL when they are not following you and they’re on jupiter. An example from today: “My instructions say I can’t have fish.” “That’s correct.” “Can I have salmon?” “…..Say that again?” “Can I have salmon?” “Salmon is a fish.” “But can I have it?” but you can’t get upset, so you just have to explain (over and over and over and over and over and over again)
Oh man, i see that stare every day at work. I accepted my fate - do not argue, just give polite smile, agree with everything and forget they ever existed 3 second after. You do what you gotta do.
Each generation blames the next one for everything wrong going on, conveniently forgetting that they were the ones who raised that generation and gave them the situation they have to deal with
The amount of times I've heard family members say gen Z is going to ruin the planet Like the entire existence of genz is them looking into the torment nexus that was made for them and the previous generations going "BTW this is your fault"
Yeah and we're finally at a point where the next generation are aware of this, and are actively working to improve. We won't be like this forever, but it also won't completely go away either.
It's like being so hungry that it hurts too much to eat. Try anti-acid/anti-acid reflux meds, they help, not a cure. We will die with our curse or pass it into our children.
Very ironic that the time it's hardest to eat is when you are the hungriest, moments where you wonder how it would be to be like a snake that eats a whole pig and can chill for a month
Was born in the early 90’s. I remember being taught that there was a hole in the ozone layer in grade school but I don’t remember panicking over it, so I don’t think the teacher did a great job at expressing how big of a deal it was.
My job in 2018- Don't worry about the lead paint we sent an environmental specialist. The environmental specialist (me a trainee in a 100% unrelated trade for 2 months with a box of clothes, a vacuum and a stick with a paint scraper attached to the end and 0 knowledge of lead paint.
The extremely sad thing is that if you account for the fact that an entire generation was metaphorically beaten in the head with a chemical bat, then a lot of things that have happened/are happening in the States make a whole lot more sense.
The fact that Pat lacks the self awareness to remember colostomy bag as a targetable weakpoint and say” nothing about the body can affect me” is hilarious

"the industrial revolution its consequences" my university STILL has asbestos. thankfully it I didn't breathe any in because I was completely paranoid and refused to do anything risky (while the rest of my classmates just drilled shit willy nilly) and you can just piss out the plastics.
Dude, I dont think I ever gone 22h without eating. Maybe its my fast metabolism but I feel like I gotta eat something every 5h or so. As soon as I feel that hunger I run to the kitchen, so I wouldnt be surprised if lack of food causes depression or whatever else. Also its crazy to imagine that our health, emotions, and life in general can be affected by the chemicals around us that we do not notice. You could very well be drinking water everyday with chemicals that make you angrier or something and you would never know whats the cause.
A lot of Rome's brutality and obsession with militarism is likely due to the fact that the City of Rome, which acted as a center of it's governance had lead pipes for drinking water
I can vouch about the eating thing; I tend to forget to eat sometimes or go prolonged times without eating and i end up feeling nauseous/weak. Go eat a sandwich
The O-Zone layer crisis has been the most frustrating thing when it comes to talking about any issue that affects the planet, and it's because a lot of people think we just stopped talking about it for no reason when the reality is that we literally fixed the O-Zone layer and reduced the type of aerosol we were using.
We did the same thing with acid rain! Like, we raised awareness, enacted policy, created legislative and information campaigns, and the harmful phenomenon stopped happening because we stopped doing the bad shit that causes them.

@@OrbObserver It's also the same with honey. I know some people either use honey or drinking alcohol on their baby's gums when they started teething. Don't really think that's the best idea.
The average human will learn jack and shit about nutrition. This has been the case for all of human history. That is how utterly brain dead the average person is. People cannot understand the concept of calories or macro nutrients. All you have to do is look at the steadily increasing obesity rates and the UNBROKEN CHAIN of fad diets women come up with to lose weight since time immemorial.
Speaking of issues of our current generation, gotta love how rainwater is no longer safe to drink.
My granddad likes to keep an open garbage can near his garage and he tells me it’s to collect rainwater. Considering he’s from the lead generation, I’m not going to bother explaining to him why it’s a bad idea.
The Romans spread the idea that lead was the best material for plumbing, so for more than 1000 years, all the biggest warring civilizations, including England, Spain, France and Germany have had lead poisoning. And our grandparents say millennials are the problem because we're too sober and soft :D.
3:30 "Eat food until you're not sad any more" It's all fun and games until depression kicks in and you're eating all day c:
Don't worry though! The scale will make things way worse later! c:
This totally isn't a spiral
Yeah that was sorta the joke of it lol.
Man the joke really flung over your head didn’t it

Woolie: I am NOT going to name this episode Castle Super Yeast!
*Always Sunny In Philadelphia title theme plays*
You know I'm starting to understand why so many generations before therapy were fucked up.
While I'm not a boomer, I was COMPLETELY oblivious to lead paint EVEN BEING A THING MANG. This was truly educational, and now I'm just baffled. But I guess this was another "we smoked before we even had a clue it would affect us badly"-type story of ye olde eldrich history.
Thanks on shining attention to this Woolie & Pat, truly educational podcast, holy shit.
In my elementary school there was lead paint on the walls and they warned us not to pick at it but the more they told us not to do it more we did it. Especially in the bathroom where there wasn't any teachers watching.
I was born in 93
What's even more crazy is that lead tastes sweet, so kids would lick walls with lead paint on them.
Of you think that's bad? The Victorians used arsenic in makeup and wallpaper. Under the right circumstances, the arsenic could vaporize and you would breathe it in.
If you want to be even more baffled, since lead often has a sweet taste, there was a time (like long, LONG ago) when lead was used as a sweetener in things like wine. It's also partially why lead paint was such a problem, because kids loved to chew on it and eat the sweet paint flakes.
From the people that brought you “The Banality of Evil” comes “The Idiocy of Self Destruction”!
I like the notion that Pat is basically Doomsday.
Oh that's why he hates Superman so much
@@AngryHomunculus Its all coming together now
No wonder Pat's good at soulslikes
He was playing with a DS2 Hollow debuff the entire time
Plague resistance: MAX
Poison resistance: MAX
16:00 I blame our negativity bias for this, the amount of astronomically great things that happened that we simply don't get an update on is huge
Humans rarely consider how their environments impact them until its far too late. Hopefully we learn from history one day
(X) Doubt
Saying "one day" at the end sounds like a punchline to maximum irony. We're always going to put off "one day" as not today, until it becomes never.
@@jacobsmith4428 Sad but true
Humans? You mean industrial capitalists.
Four thousands of years humans were doing fine, it wasn't until industrialization that this shit happened AND the truth was hidden by companies, like studies done in the 70s by big oil companies that showed how messed up it was getting but decided to hide it to protect their profits.
@@jacobsmith4428 This is why the line at the end of Extra Credits' series on the South Sea Bubble always stuck with me when I heard it for the first time:
"This is a good lesson. I hope we learn it someday."
The major issue that they covered in that series - an economic bubble bursting due to over-evaluation and extreme speculation of the early 18th century South Seas Company which was built on lies and nothing - is just something that happens over and over again and no one with power in business ever learns from it. And of course, it's far from the only issue that cycles throughout history too.
So Pat essentially got hit with a stupid amount of nerfs and status debuffs at a low level, and yet here he is now, still kicking. Pretty impressive.
"Boomer Lead Stare" is a strong mind goblin.
Fun fact, when leaded gasoline and freon inventor Thomas Midgley Jr. contracted polio in 1940 and was left severely disabled, he invented a pully system to get himself out of bed, which he got caught in and accidently strangled himself to death.
So fun
Classic example is carbs taking the blame for sugars because sodas paid researchers. Nough Australians can stay
Admittedly sugars *are* carbs.
This lead stare is the funniest thing i've ever heard omg
Also Pat is legit a miracle child
As someone who is never going to be a parent, googling "crib bumpers danger" is a nightmare I would have never experienced normally. Thanks Pat.
No no no, the hole in the ozone layer is still there. It IS healing but its still there. I live in New Zealand, which has one of the highest rates of skin cancer because of the lack of ozone and we still need to avoid the sun and wear sunblock and so on. It's just that people have convinced themselves everything is fine based on a few headlines they didn't read. But it not going to be fixed for years.
true but unlike climate change we as a collective society actually took steps to make sure it didn't get worse, something that will never happen again in this lifetime
It's still there, but it is actively healing and we have done massive overhauls in regards to what aerosols we use. It will take time to recover, obviously, but it is healing and we've done precisely what has to be done to facilitate that healing.
I’ve had that “sick hungry” before and it’s a really strange sensation, almost worrying
as I am working a retail job, Boomer lead stare is such a real thing. you have to actively keep yourself from thinking less of the average older person due to how much boomers and older millennials act like legit NPCs all the time.
Older millennials?
Do you mean gen X?
@@KingRidley Being forgotten about is Gen X's signature move.
CSB: *3 hours of jokes pertaining to wakeup lvl 3*

*Every time*
god i have this problem with my mother constantly. shes a firm believer that being unsanitary helps to build your immunities, and "MY mom did it this way and WE didnt die!"
It actually does the reverse. The immune system is like a resource that gets drained the more often it's used. This is why repeat cold, flu, and cvid infection is not a good idea.
Yeah being overly germophobic isn't great but be sanitary. Get into dirty stuff often and clean it promptly
Regarding CFCs - kinda funny that what we signed to solve the ozone hole was the *Montreal Protocol*
I have hypoglycemia so I get very emotional or anxious over nothing very easily if I'm a few hours behind on eating a meal. I also have to be careful to not have too much sugar because then I also become an emotional asshole when my blood sugar drops.
This happens for normal people too just not the my extreme, so much so that there's an acronym in the mental health community you use to check in on yourself when you're feeling it and it's called HALT and H stands for hunger. I don't know it by heart but it's basically, have you eaten, have you drank any water, are you feeling lonely or tired?
Yeah I'm the exact same way. Good thing I'm a light eater and get full easily at least
At this point im inagining anyone with lead to basically have the butchers nails from warhammer 40k inside them. Just randomly at one point the lead kicks in and makes them angry for no reason.
3:20 you ever get the hunger shakes? My body doesn’t tell me I’m hungry until I feel weak, so I actively have to keep track of when I last ate.
As a toddler a special "sometimes" snack wasn't cookies or chocolate, it was a slice of ciabatta bread soaked in red wine and with sugar sprinkled on top. How I still have a liver is beyond me 😂
wHAT
There's some new research that microplastics might have a role on the increase of inflammatory bowel disease, but its all relatively new so most likely not the only thing going on but it'll be a while until we figure All That out so it'll be fun
Born 1997 here, I am pretty sure the first time I learned about the ozone layer was from the pokemon movie about deoxys and rayquaza.
Patrick "Stunted n' Busted" Boivin.
i call them the lead based generation at this point because you can just TELL when they are not following you and they’re on jupiter.
An example from today:
“My instructions say I can’t have fish.”
“That’s correct.”
“Can I have salmon?”
“…..Say that again?”
“Can I have salmon?”
“Salmon is a fish.”
“But can I have it?”
but you can’t get upset, so you just have to explain (over and over and over and over and over and over again)
*She longs for her watch to come to an end*
Realising that Pat is so short because he grew up with the nutrition of a 19th century street orphan
8:30 - Lead Time
Oh man, i see that stare every day at work. I accepted my fate - do not argue, just give polite smile, agree with everything and forget they ever existed 3 second after. You do what you gotta do.
Each generation blames the next one for everything wrong going on, conveniently forgetting that they were the ones who raised that generation and gave them the situation they have to deal with
I mean millenials didnt raise the gen y, just the zoomers
Edit: not zoomers, gen alpha
The amount of times I've heard family members say gen Z is going to ruin the planet
Like the entire existence of genz is them looking into the torment nexus that was made for them and the previous generations going "BTW this is your fault"
@@sdbzfan1… Millennials ARE Gen Y
Yeah and we're finally at a point where the next generation are aware of this, and are actively working to improve. We won't be like this forever, but it also won't completely go away either.
@@Epsilvonic then what are people between 1998 and 2010
Honestly Pat must have been the healthiest goddamn baby to still be here today
I have SEEN the boomer lead stare, holy shit
I get that hunger puke feeling pretty often and it's fucking trash, it hurts like hell
It's like being so hungry that it hurts too much to eat. Try anti-acid/anti-acid reflux meds, they help, not a cure. We will die with our curse or pass it into our children.
Very ironic that the time it's hardest to eat is when you are the hungriest, moments where you wonder how it would be to be like a snake that eats a whole pig and can chill for a month
God that hit hard....every time I look at my mom all I can see is the boomer lead stare now.
My favorite podcast Crying Stomach Bidet
Was born in the early 90’s. I remember being taught that there was a hole in the ozone layer in grade school but I don’t remember panicking over it, so I don’t think the teacher did a great job at expressing how big of a deal it was.
Couldn't have picked a better example of the lead stare in that thunbnail 😂
Oh my god, she was actually trying to kill him-
My job in 2018- Don't worry about the lead paint we sent an environmental specialist.
The environmental specialist (me a trainee in a 100% unrelated trade for 2 months with a box of clothes, a vacuum and a stick with a paint scraper attached to the end and 0 knowledge of lead paint.
The extremely sad thing is that if you account for the fact that an entire generation was metaphorically beaten in the head with a chemical bat, then a lot of things that have happened/are happening in the States make a whole lot more sense.
Every time I get nauseous I have to do a game where I have to diagnose myself and figure out if I'm hungry, sleepy or depressed.
This just in:
Local Man Doesn't Eat; Gets Hungry.
What happens next will shock you!
The fact that Pat lacks the self awareness to remember colostomy bag as a targetable weakpoint and say” nothing about the body can affect me” is hilarious
The real reason Pat is small is so he can dodge all the shit life throws at him
Pat is the ancestor of the Catachan, confirmed
My parents just got their water mains replaced and it turns out they were not lead, not copper, but FUCKING WOOD.
My grandma used to insist on a bowl of cereal before bed and i grew up fat and everyone always blamed me about it lmao. Come to find out cereal is probably one of the worst things you could eat right before literally just going to bed for the night.
It would ensure I "slept through the night".
That thumbnail. . . sheesh.
That feels to me like the mother from the Burger Kitchen episode of Kitchen Nightmares.
It's that lady who pretended to hate the meal made by the chef, his way, that Gordon Ramsay liked.

Woolie did in fact name the episode Castle Super Yeast.
Truly Pat is the Lucky Ted
Oh *boy!*
Woolie once again lied as naturally as he breathed lmao
"Oru-Noru", the australian god of panic and misfortune
"the industrial revolution its consequences"
my university STILL has asbestos. thankfully it I didn't breathe any in because I was completely paranoid and refused to do anything risky (while the rest of my classmates just drilled shit willy nilly) and you can just piss out the plastics.
The Doomsday origin comparison was wildddddd
Hey the Nite-Quill Binky and Crib Bumpers are perfectly fine!!!
Dude, I dont think I ever gone 22h without eating. Maybe its my fast metabolism but I feel like I gotta eat something every 5h or so. As soon as I feel that hunger I run to the kitchen, so I wouldnt be surprised if lack of food causes depression or whatever else.
Also its crazy to imagine that our health, emotions, and life in general can be affected by the chemicals around us that we do not notice. You could very well be drinking water everyday with chemicals that make you angrier or something and you would never know whats the cause.
This game was rigged from the start...
...yet somehow Pat made it through childhood anyway, thank god
A lot of Rome's brutality and obsession with militarism is likely due to the fact that the City of Rome, which acted as a center of it's governance had lead pipes for drinking water
I can vouch about the eating thing; I tend to forget to eat sometimes or go prolonged times without eating and i end up feeling nauseous/weak. Go eat a sandwich

Kitchen nightmares jumpscare thumbnail
The O-Zone layer crisis has been the most frustrating thing when it comes to talking about any issue that affects the planet, and it's because a lot of people think we just stopped talking about it for no reason when the reality is that we literally fixed the O-Zone layer and reduced the type of aerosol we were using.
We did the same thing with acid rain! Like, we raised awareness, enacted policy, created legislative and information campaigns, and the harmful phenomenon stopped happening because we stopped doing the bad shit that causes them.
Lol next week well find out pats mom had him smoke black and milds to keep misquotes away at this rate.
Fyi, people born mid 90s still had ozone layer hole and general climate change as major topics in schools
Depends on how liberal your science teacher was if you had one at all. (catholic and home schoolers)
"You can't make me name it castle super yeast"
But you did tho.
And the chat didn't. Woolie rose to the occasion of his own accord.
This makes me feel better about my parents being too safe
The fact that I recognize the old lady in the thumbnail means I've watched to much Kitchen Nightmares.
With every story Pat has about some minutia that developed into a flawed mental construct. He could write a book.
The leaded urge to be boomer
.......okay im backing to worrying about Pats child because this conversation has me worried Paige has to do double duty raising Pat too
no need to worry really, Pat, while severely damaged, is doing the smart thing of triple checking EVERY SINGLE THING if its okay for baby, hes completely unwilling to just put blind faith into something entirely because of his own existance
@@Sleepy_Kitsune hmm, I suppose so but still worried that years of being mocked online for his mind goblin antics still hasn't made Pat aware its important his kids don't get that from him ^^;
