Silphium was the name of the plant and it only grew in Cyrene due to high rains and rich soil. Doesn't look like hearts though, looks more like a daisy.
The seed pods of similar fennel plants from the region are kinda heart shaped, so some historians do have a theory that they did inspire the modern stylised heart
@@supercool559 The Romans were known to use the "heart" shape, actually, but it had nothing to do with hearts as far as they were concerned. Turn it upside-down and try to figure out which body part it could represent. It even still carries some of the same implications!
Interestingly, researchers think they may have found the plant still alive in a part of Turkey (I think) but they are still looking into it and its properties. I believe that it matched the description of flowers and lives in a similar climate to what the silphium plant was said to need. The thinking of how it got there is that it may have been just randomly placed in the valley by someone long ago and then forgotten about by people moving in and out of the region.
i've also heard that the shape was seen as testicles, not a heart. the stylized heart shape we use is just an upside down representation of the seed pods. they also had a belief that the appearance of a plant tells you what organ it serves.
@@realfangplays Cos it's a tricky question. Honestly i'm finding it hard to answer myself and the fact i keep considering the Pachycephalosaurus is concerning me... Also holy shit i spelt that correctly first time. @_@ Or did i mean the Parasaurolophus? o_O
the trick to the off-road trucks in GTA, and that includes the monster trucks and the dune, is that they're technical vehicles that require you to actually slow down and consider your path (that btw goes for any off-road driving IRL as well). You can't just floor it and go in straight line, and expect it to go where you want, or even stay upright. It's the same thing IRL when SUVs and 4x4s became popular, there were lots of rollovers because people didn't understand that the higher suspension makes the vehicles far less stable, and just clipping the curb can make it roll if you go too fast
Boba is pretty correct, Dinosuars ended with them causing the ice age and just huddling in their home as they freeze to death with a slow camera zoom out of the house. Its super fucked up.
Wasn't that after some plant got out of control, then they effectively Agent Oranged the entire world, leading to said ice age? Like its super fucked up.
i literally just watched the episode bouphe was describing in the plot or not before watching this video. its star trek next generation season 4 episode 15. the doctor asks for sex at just before the 25 minute mark in the episode.
When they were talking about whether thanking the bus driver was a local thing, Boba almost said something, and I have the weirdest feeling that she was going to say that in America the bus driver only lets you go if you agree to have sex with them.
Christ, between Yog shorts previews, them replaying old maps and my very possible decline in mental faculties, i could swear they're trying to gaslight us. Nothing i know is real!! Also Sophie Vegas would be great, as in my mind it implies she had married Johnny at some point which i don't think is entirely out the question.
Even to this day I shout “Cheers Drive” down the bus to say thank you as I get off the bus. 11 years in the USA and that habit I learned growing up in London has not diminished.
I think it's not so much a cultural thing as a personal thing and/or a logistics thing. If I pass the driver on the way out in the US, I'll thank them. I could see New Yorkers flipping the bird instead though.
@@distantignition I think that puts too much credence on individual accountability. Sounds like culture to me. We always say it. When getting off from the back door people call out, or at the very least wave.
@@phluid61 a little backup from across the pond, same goes in NZ, if you're at the back door you say it louder, It's rude not to. Only reason not to say it is if the driver is a dick which does occasionally happen
It was a very British moment of theirs then: "Is common courtesy a thing outside of the UK? Nah, don't think so." In spain we also thank the bus driver
The only experience I have of Paul Hollywood is at the cinema I work at. We had a special early preview of a film, like 2 months early. Was told that the director and producers and family would be watching. We had such a headache getting the film to work because it was so last minute. Finally got it working like half an hour before and... Only Paul Hollywood and his partner turned up. It was a whole screen just for them...they never even said anything to us.
Bouphe is incorrect about not thanking the bus drivers in london, at least in outer london. However, it does tend to be more of just a raised hand as they look back along the corridor than an actual verbal thanks
Fun Fact: The Kamaz, which is the real-life counterpart to the trucks in the second race, is one of the most shockingly agile trucks on the planet. Seriously, look up "Kamaz drifting" or "Kamaz rally". Between this and the game's portrayal of muscle cars as slow and cumbersome (despite their entire point IRL being their ridiculous acceleration), I don't think the game's designers actually did any research into the vehicles they put in the game.
Of course you thank the bus driver. Except when they're psuedo-faceless like in Bouphe's London bus example, don't you thank anyone who serves you somehow? Waiters, delivery drivers, taxi drivers, glass collector, air host(ess) etc.
In the US it is correct etiquette to thank the bus driver. As with most things, however, you can only rely on around two thirds of Americans to actually do it.
I was raised to thank the Bus Driver. Not everyone here does it but some people do. But I am Australian. So it probably is a British thing that got passed on to some Australians
I was sure the topic of duncan delaware would come from the fact that they were driving the Dune and in the movie dune jason momoas character is named Duncan Idaho, god was i wrong
The realisation that sex = pregnancy is actually more recent than you’d think, though still very old obviously It kinda makes sense that it wouldn’t necessarily occur to you if your experience with it is “I had sex a few months ago and suddenly I’m pregnant”
Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of SPQR XIIV. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and fuck them into extinction; to boldly go where no Roman has gone before!
Silphium, yall need a "Citation needed" on that. Probably not a contraceptive, killed out by effectively colonialism (Roman landlords moving into local area and displacing the Silphium with wheat).
Alongside Hollywood being his real name they're making fun off. Most of them also go by their own stage/alt names which are even weirder. Don't want to make fun of many of their names so just think of a load of yogs names they go by. I'm sure Paul had enough jokes of their name in school.
I think Britain tanking the bus driver is our version of Americans clapping the plane...for landing, except it makes sense because we're actually speaking to the driver. We say 'thanks' to a waiter for serving us our food, I imagine that Americans clap the plate for being there.

I think Bouphe was confusing the contraception plant in Greece, and the super soldier plant from Wakanda

@@Danysian And that plant they found needs to get cold enough to germinate which explains why it was hard to cultivate
2 fun facts, it is the seed pods, not the leaves that are heart shaped, and we have possibly rediscovered a secret grove of silphiumas of last year
I like how mystical that sounds, like there was a sphinx guarding the grove and you had to complete her trials
i've also heard that the shape was seen as testicles, not a heart. the stylized heart shape we use is just an upside down representation of the seed pods. they also had a belief that the appearance of a plant tells you what organ it serves.
@@sebcw1204 so basically a spade, but the dick has a really weird head...
It's funny because Paul Hollywood is just his real name and they're treating it like a chosen stage name 😆
of course, because nowadays everyone associates Hollywood with the American film industry and forget they didn't come up with the name
hes still a plank though
classic lewis being aggressively wrong about everything
my boss's name was Holly Wood and we just always called her hollywood
Someone introduce Lewis to Chris Moneymaker
Duncan after working all his life for the Yogscast and hearing he is not even number 3 after Lewis
Duncan: "the fuck..?"
Right lol
Thats in gandalfs gangsters clan, duncan left the clan
Still higher up than Simon though.
That brings new meaning to cargo pants.
Cargobob...
"I accidentally made cargo pants after a naughty dream last night."
Duncan: "Whats the sexiest dinosaur?" Not the first time you asked that; I'm starting to worry.
He's a scalie for sure.
This is why Duncan made TWO dinosaur Minecraft series.
He still hasn't received a satisfactory answer.
@@realfangplays Cos it's a tricky question.
Honestly i'm finding it hard to answer myself and the fact i keep considering the Pachycephalosaurus is concerning me...
Also holy shit i spelt that correctly first time. @_@
Or did i mean the Parasaurolophus? o_O
"Here come the Romans" had me laughing so hard.
Ben got exiled and no one even noticed
Right after being usurped by Ravs for second in command
@@Robert-k57 Ravs airlocked Ben and usurped command. Damn.

Design flaw. It's 100% speed or nothing
1:46 I knew that Plot or Not answer from Ben and Tom's Star Trek time. 😆
By the title if you assumed this video was Duncan getting angry, boy are you very very wrong.
Boba is pretty correct, Dinosuars ended with them causing the ice age and just huddling in their home as they freeze to death with a slow camera zoom out of the house. Its super fucked up.

It was a brave artistic decision to say the least.
It's...
Duncan Delaware's Flying Circusssss
Being a vodgobbo gave me the advantage on that plot or not. I mean the boys brought it up like 3 different times
I can say in Canada we also thank the bus driver as we get off the bus. It's not just a brit thing!
It varies from city to city. I heard people in Vancouver think it's weird, but in Victoria it's normal.
but then canadians would probably thank the robber that visited their house so not surprised :D
We thank the bus driver in Chicago.
@@capulcinka Oh, no, we just dip them in maple syrup and let them solidify in their cells. :D
i literally just watched the episode bouphe was describing in the plot or not before watching this video. its star trek next generation season 4 episode 15. the doctor asks for sex at just before the 25 minute mark in the episode.
And the actress is Fraiser's wife.
Tom watched all of TNG a while ago and chatted with Ben about it, that episode really stood out in his memory.
Boba is the best addition to the Yogscast, she's such a scene stealer
Delivery texts just got a whole lot more interesting. "I'm close. Where do you want me to drop the cargo?"
Around where I live in the netherlands we thank the bus driver as we get off, but that's more of a recent trend.
When they were talking about whether thanking the bus driver was a local thing, Boba almost said something, and I have the weirdest feeling that she was going to say that in America the bus driver only lets you go if you agree to have sex with them.

Had to google it.. Paul Hollywood actually is his real name
yeah I just did it as well.. very surprised
it's apparently an anglified old Celtic name

I do every time
I don't think I ever expected my state's name to make it into the video title. like we're probably the most forgotten state.
So close but no one called him Duncan Idaho.
I saw the title and was expecting 'Duncan Delaware' to be a Dune reference lol
Call boba the load master the way she drives that truck!

And that Alien doctor was Lilith from Frasier
9:06 having two conversations simultaneously was the *_best_* build-up to that unintentional punch-line.
Bouphe left out the best part, it jump-cuts to Riker leaving the hospital room implying that he took the deal
Thanking the bus drivr isn't only a British thing. We do it here in Ireland as well
"f*cked in to extinction" I'm going to have to find a way to use that phrase in conversations now, thanks
Wisconsin will happily claim Bouphe
Is this the first time Wisconsin has ever been mentioned by the Yogscast?
I had just learned today of the Roman Silphium from the TH-cam channel Fire of Learning. Odd that it's now mentioned here.
Is Boba aware of how many guests have received Paul Hollywood's load?
You mean cargo
Bouphe is incorrect about not thanking the bus drivers in london, at least in outer london. However, it does tend to be more of just a raised hand as they look back along the corridor than an actual verbal thanks
I like how Bouphe wants a showbiz name when she chose Bouphe as her showbiz name.

Some S tier bants in this one

Starting off with Star Trek conversation IMMEDIATELY. New record
They are off-road purpose trucks. They run the Paris-Dakar rally.
This is the start of Duncan’s villain arc at the yogacast
Funnily enough, Paul Hollywood's name goes back 600 years!
Listen Boba, even Ravs gets boarded sometimes
It is my pleasure to notice that Boba has won a second GTA race. I don’t recall when that happened though.
That thumbnail is disturbing now I know what they were talking about 0_o
In the US it is correct etiquette to thank the bus driver. As with most things, however, you can only rely on around two thirds of Americans to actually do it.
I'm surprised to hear they know Delaware exists.
The yogs in Skegness would be hilarious and I for one would love to see it
FYI yes Paul Hollywood was actually born Hollywood. his dad was named John Hollywood.
10:33 I thank the bus driver 🇨🇦
They do than bus driver here in Finland too
We thank bus drivers in the States. People tend to scream thanks across the bus as they get off lol
Those trucks are nothing but giant sticks of butter sliding all around the track lol
Osie was right about Silphium being over-harvested to extinction by the Romans

As someone who's name is Roman, I'm glad I was wearing headphones while watching this. XD
Lewis "I love violence" Brindley.
I wonder if he has any relations to nature.
Boba there are few times I agree with you but I stand with you that Paul is a solid person!
We thank bus drivers in Canada

Hahaah the Roman contraceptive plant talk, wow.. that was.. something haha
Silphium was the name of the plant and it only grew in Cyrene due to high rains and rich soil.
We thank the bus drivers here in the USA, too! Not every person does it, but still, it isn’t uncommon.
Her name was lanor and she always wanted to make it with an Alien.
I actually used to know someone who's second name was Hollywood. So maybe Oaul's name is legit
As long as you have plot Armour you will live
the sexiest dinosaur has to be barny 😉
In the US we thank the driver.
They're DUNE trucks, not meant for hard surfaces...
A large majority of today's banter makes me feel called out XD
Sexiest dino is the Utahraptor btw
Repeat video from yesterday (or was it the day before?)
Apparently he was genuinely born Paul Hollywood
The thumbnail made me think "Duncan Dimadome"
My brother was on Bake Off and from what I’ve heard Paul Hollywood ain’t such great a guy
Silphium, yall need a "Citation needed" on that. Probably not a contraceptive, killed out by effectively colonialism (Roman landlords moving into local area and displacing the Silphium with wheat).
So did they not notice how everyone left the game randomly during that second race, according to the pop-up messages?
I think only Ben got disconnected from the lobby but on his end it looked like everyone else disconnected.
You can see from, I think, Ped's perspective right after it happened that only Ben got disconnected.
When your connection is bad, the game kicks you into your own lobby, making everyone else "leave"
thanks for reminding Americans that Delaware exists.
Soph Fransisco? for bouphe's star name?
Bouphe Bollywood 😂😂😂
It pains me to say, but Hollywood is his real last name.
Alongside Hollywood being his real name they're making fun off. Most of them also go by their own stage/alt names which are even weirder. Don't want to make fun of many of their names so just think of a load of yogs names they go by. I'm sure Paul had enough jokes of their name in school.
@Bouphe Sophie Silverscreen would be a good Hollywood name.
6:12 I am not sure Duncan knew he just made the best joke of the year!
am I insane or are they repeating maps.... is this all AI generated?
I heard my name!
I agree with Boba;
Paul Hollywood is hot.
Duncan Delaware, owner of the Dellsdale Delladome?
I am NOT Jake Skegness
Wow, I never catch these as they come out.
Brooklyn Bouphe
