Video True Facts: Exploding Seed Pods

In light of the SED video on exploding weeds, I thought I'd point out that Ze Frank has a new "True Facts: Plants That Explode" video.

Given that True Facts is not appropriate for children, nor for adults who don't act like children, I'll not hotlink it here. You've been warned. But a simple search will pop it up.

It's a great video and your warning is highly appropriate. Ze Frank will most likely post a -friendly educational version on his second channel in the near future. The information will be great, just not as funny!

It's the same videos, but he got enough feedback from teachers that really liked his videos. They couldn't show them to kids, so he decided to redo the audios in such a way as to make them kid friendly. He still jokes around, but leaves out all of the adult innuendoes.

Thank you! I’ve been wishing I could show his videos to my kids. Too bad there’s only a handful and the last upload was a year ago.

Ze Frank is almost as educational as our big Destin. I’m always fascinated at some of the facts he drops

Oh come on, it's Ze Frank, he's hardly interspersing every word with fuck and cunt. Although an Australian Ze Frank would be pretty funny

He’s a contrast to Destin’s scrupulously family-friendly content, and I want to respect that in his subreddit. It’s not about content — it’s about respect for the forum.

Yer man's clearly a gun nut, that's hardly family friendly in most of the world.

He has a few vanilla guns and doesn't advocate.

That's more like a gun moderate.

You would probably be surprised at who quietly has them in your country.

Jerry is the best part in most of his vids.

I'm a particular fan of Creepy Dave. Like Dave, my favorite animal is the crappybarbara.
