but there IS something of value- dirt!! all dirt is just poop and dead things. the pepper actually became more valuable over time if you look at this this way
I really love this because you can see how the color change differs from other fruits. Instead of going brown, the pigments go through its natural cycle of “ripening” since it was a green pepper. This process fascinates me, the way humans noticed this property and decided to selectively breed it to make the colors edible and discovered there could be different flavors or even spice levels, which then lead to curiosity about why things are spicy and the Scoville scale.

dang this takes a while read this :D The Northrop B-2 Spirit, also known as the Stealth Bomber,[3] is an American heavy strategic bomber, featuring low-observable stealth technology designed to penetrate dense anti-aircraft defenses. A subsonic flying wing with a crew of two, the plane was designed by Northrop (later Northrop Grumman) as the prime contractor, with Boeing, Hughes, and Vought as principal subcontractors, and was produced from 1987 to 2000.[1][4] The bomber can drop conventional and thermonuclear weapons,[5] such as up to eighty 500-pound class (230 kg) Mk 82 JDAM GPS-guided bombs, or sixteen 2,400-pound (1,100 kg) B83 nuclear bombs. The B-2 is the only acknowledged in-service aircraft that can carry large air-to-surface standoff weapons in a stealth configuration. Development began under the Advanced Technology Bomber (ATB) project during the Carter administration, which cancelled the Mach 2-capable B-1A bomber in part because the ATB showed such promise. But development difficulties delayed progress and drove up costs. Ultimately, the program produced 21 B-2s at an average cost of $2.13 billion (~$4.04 billion in 2023), including development, engineering, testing, production, and procurement.[6] Building each aircraft cost an average of US$737 million,[6] while total procurement costs (including production, spare parts, equipment, retrofitting, and software support) averaged $929 million (~$1.11 billion in 2023) per plane.[6] The project's considerable capital and operating costs made it controversial in the U.S. Congress even before the winding down of the Cold War dramatically reduced the desire for a stealth aircraft designed to strike deep in Soviet territory. Consequently, in the late 1980s and 1990s lawmakers shrank the planned purchase of 132 bombers to 21. The B-2 can perform attack missions at altitudes of up to 50,000 feet (15,000 m); it has an unrefueled range of more than 6,000 nautical miles (6,900 mi; 11,000 km) and can fly more than 10,000 nautical miles (12,000 mi; 19,000 km) with one midair refueling. It entered service in 1997 as the second aircraft designed with advanced stealth technology, after the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk attack aircraft. Primarily designed as a nuclear bomber, the B-2 was first used in combat to drop conventional, non-nuclear ordnance in the Kosovo War in 1999. It was later used in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Yemen.[7][8] The United States Air Force has nineteen B-2s in service as of 2024;[9] one was destroyed in a 2008 crash[10] and another one damaged in a crash in 2022 was retired from service likely on account of the cost and duration of a potential repair.[9] The Air Force plans to operate the B-2s until 2032, when the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider is to replace them.[11]
A cut down version of this without the rotting would be the perfect proof to convince people that red bell peppers are not spicier than green bell peppers. We used Tri Color Peppers at a restaurant I worked at and some people just couldn't understand that they were all the same lol.
Yellow peppers are slightly different from the red ones, they won't turn red at some point. The red ones go directly from green to red usually. Green is always unripe.
They are actually different species, but all share a very close ancestor. It's like how Brocolli, Cauliflower, Brussel Sprouts and Cole are all the different specied but share a very close ancestor

Ok but it actually is
It literally is though. Orange, red and green are all the same bell peppers, just harvested at different times.
Rehydrating it so it keeps rotting is really smart
I was annoyed he did that. I wanted to know what would happen if he left it as is
It would stay desiccated until rehydrated or thrown out, where it would naturally get rehydrated.
I think next time he should set up an autodripper so there's less expanding and contracting going on. Kind of distracts from the natural process.
yeah i was wondering why he was putting water in it
@@darthcloakedguy9726 I mean, isn't what he's doing exactly like the natural process? It doesn't rain all the time, if left in the soil the pepper would expand when it rains and contract when it does not.
