This video feels like Adam found a midpoint between his regular videos and his old podcast.

Adam Asparagusea over here.

Asparagus grows so funny like it just comes straight up like how a kid draws plants growing

6:29 In Mexico we DO actually eat the flower stalks of agave: it’s called “quiote” (pronounced kee-oh-teh) if you are interested. It’s usually baked in an oven until it becomes sweet. It’s like an oversized sugar cane shoot in terms of texture (and taste).

`How can you look inside a chicken and not notice we are all part of the same lineage of life!` Some real Diogenes of Sinope energy there Adam.

I got really high once in middle school and literally watched asparagus grow before my very eyes. It grows fast

Why I taxonomize living things, NOT liquor

Based pro evolution Ragusea feels like my favorite side effect of semi-retirement aside from you looking and feeling happier! LOVED this one Adam, keep up the good work as long as you wish, and I apologize in advance about these comments❤

I love that your example of a cactus @ 3:00 is a milk tree which isn't technically a cactus but just another very good illustration of convergent evolution!

5:40 Bacteria do not reproduce through spores. Bacteria generally reproduce through simple binary fission. Bacteria do produce endospores, which sound very similar, but these are non-reproductive structures and are instead used for survival in extreme conditions. Spores are exclusive to plantae and fungi kingdoms (and some other plant-like or fungas-like eukaryotes).

That flower is the national flower of El Salvador, here is called Flor de Izote. And we eat it, sometimes combined with scramble eggs

As a Botanist I have annoyed my friends for years by saying Tequila is asparagus juice. Also for fun here’s some more surprising members of the Asparagus family: Monkeygrass Hostas Spiderplants The Dragonblood Tree Snakeplants

I'm so glad there are smart people like you on the internet. We need more intelligent videos like these.
-
Your evolution rant seems to be a reaction to what probably filled your comments section in the Easter video. Great content, as always.

bro is not beating the 'not retiring' allegations

For a curiosity, King Crabs are more closely related to Hermit Crabs than Dungeness Crabs.

As a non-American, I recognized some of the plants mentioned here because they appear in Fallout New Vegas. Particularly because you can pick yucca and agave plants and use them in recipes. There are joshua trees around too.

Who else wondering how that giant asparagaceae stalk tastes 🤤
-
im all here for adam's new youtube phase

I saw the same thing when I went to New Mexico to visit my sister. I'd say, Oh look at the asparagus trees and she'd say no, those are not asparagus trees, those are agaves.
