What's the oldest meal you've eaten? Maybe you've had leftovers from a few days ago. They probably still tasted good. But what if it wasn't a few days ago, what if you ate a 60-day old stew? Or a 49-year-old beef noodle soup? 你吃过最古老的一餐是什么?也许你已经吃了几天前的剩菜了。它们的味道可能还是不错的。但如果不是几天前,如果你吃了60天的炖菜怎么办?还是49年的牛肉面? Perpetual stew is a dish that is never taken off the heat; it's never finished. As portions are served, new ingredients are put in the pot to replace them. One day's stew becomes the basis of the following days' meals. There have been some famous examples. This year, Annie Rauwerda's 60-day stew became a social media sensation. One Bangkok restaurant claims to have been cooking its beef noodle soup since the 1970s. It has been suggested that perpetual stew was a tradition in Medieval Europe when the effort required to start a fire meant that they were left to burn all day, and a pot of stew was always simmering away on top of it. One New York Times article tells us about a stew in Normandy that was kept cooking for 300 years. 永久炖菜是一道永远不会离开火源的菜肴;它永远不会完成。上菜时,锅中会放入新的食材来替换它们。一天的炖菜成为第二天膳食的基础。有一些著名的例子。今年,Annie Rauwerda 的 60 天炖菜引起了社交媒体的轰动。曼谷的一家餐厅声称自 20 世纪 70 年代以来就开始烹制牛肉面汤。有人认为,永久炖菜是中世纪欧洲的一种传统,当时生火所需的努力意味着它们要燃烧一整天,而一锅炖菜总是在上面慢慢地煮着。《纽约时报》的一篇文章向我们讲述了诺曼底的一种炖菜,它已经烹饪了 300 年。 This tradition may date back to the Middle Ages, but thankfully, our understanding of food hygiene has developed since then. In a world where food is often thrown away once it reaches its use-by date, many people have asked how safe perpetual stew can actually be. Experts are divided, some maintain that as long as the stew is kept bubbling away at a temperature too high for pathogens to survive, it should be safe. Others suggest that meat can become dangerous if it's left in the stew for too long. Concerns have also been raised that some vegetables, such as potatoes, or those containing nitrates, could become more toxic the more they are reheated. 这一传统可以追溯到中世纪,但值得庆幸的是,我们对食品卫生的理解从那时起就已经发展起来。在当今世界,食物一旦过了保质期就会被扔掉,许多人都在问永久炖菜实际上有多安全。专家们意见不一,一些人认为,只要炖菜的温度保持在足以让病原体无法生存的温度下冒泡,它就应该是安全的。其他人则认为,如果肉在炖菜中放置时间过长,就会变得危险。人们还担心一些蔬菜,如土豆或含有硝酸盐的蔬菜,加热次数越多,毒性可能会更大。Advocates of slow cooking believe that the best food takes time, but even they may be surprised by a months or years-old perpetual stew.慢煮的倡导者相信最好的食物需要时间,但即使是他们也可能会对长达数月或数年的永久炖菜感到惊讶。 词汇表leftovers 剩饭,剩菜stew 炖菜beef noodle soup 牛肉汤面dish (一道)菜take off the heat 将…从灶上挪开,离火portion (食物的)一份ingredient 食材,原料pot 锅simmer 炖,煨food hygiene 食品卫生use-by date 保质期bubble 沸腾,咕嘟冒泡pathogen 病原体nitrate 硝酸盐toxic 有毒的reheat 重新加热(食物)slow cooking 慢炖

A new direct-air-capture plant in Tracy, California, will pull up to 1,000 tons of carbon dioxide directly out of the air each year. The company that built it says the removed carbon will be permanently sequestered inside concrete. As part of our Reverse Course series, Peter O'Dowd went to a concrete plant in San Jose to understand how it works. And, Grist's Jake Bittle talks about the Marshall Islands' plan to adapt to the effects of climate change. Then, writer Annie Rauwerda makes a habit of getting lost among the seemingly endless digital archives of Wikipedia. She created an Instagram account to document some of the best facts she's found. Rauwerda tells us about the weird and wonderful world of Wikipedia.

We're off this week, but sharing another one of our faves! -- Original Show Notes, January 9, 2023 -- Wikipedia is your one-stop shop for high level info on public figures, geography, and academic concepts. But the volunteer editors of the free and open digital reference also make copious entries about "low quality images of cats," "Blobjects," "National Moth Week," Osama bin Laden's porn stash, and that time the Dave Matthews Band tour bus dropped poop on people in Chicago. Alli and Lindsey talk with Annie Rauwerda, a writer, longtime Wikipedia editor, and creator of "Depths of Wikipedia," which has more than 1.1 million followers on Instagram alone. Annie discusses how the culture of Wikipedia generates obtuse and often hilarious articles, concepts, and photos taken out of context. She shares the funniest things she's found on the site, and how a beef with a sketchy influencer propelled her to fame.

Evan and Andrew turn their gaze inward when Annie Rauwerda (Depths of Wikipedia) incisively declares that their entire podcast is built on a foundation of hating. Is it too late for Evan and Andrew to walk away from their office cooler of Haterade™️?? Or has Punch Up The Jam, and a career of reading YouTube comments hardened their hearts? The final boss of this challenge is Annie's confounding opinion that Cascada's 2007 hit "Everytime We Touch" is the "perfect song." As they fight this demon, they discover their inner hot librarian and write a punch up that would make any Wikipedia editor blush. Guest: Annie Rauwerda aka Depths of Wikipedia.

When her college internship was canceled by the COVID-19 shutdown in spring 2020, Annie Rauwerda had a lot of unexpected time on her hands. And instead of learning to bake bread or speak Esperanto, she began curating weird and amusing things she found on Wikipedia. Two years later, Depths of Wikipedia has more than 1.5 million followers combined across https://www.instagram.com/depthsofwikipedia/ (Instagram), https://twitter.com/depthsofwiki (Twitter), and https://www.tiktok.com/@depthsofwikipedia/ (TikTok). That success means walking a fine line: Annie wants to celebrate Wikipedia's oddities and encourage her followers to edit pages, but not to intentionally contribute false info or "bad writing for the sake of humor." "Sometimes I'll post something and then it'll start getting vandalized a bunch," she says. "Like when I posted the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mammals_displaying_homosexual_behavior (List of Mammals Displaying Homosexual Behavior) — don't do this, by the way — people started editing it to add in their name. It's funny, I guess, for two seconds, but then you just feel bad." Today on Follow Friday, Annie shares some great follow recommendations: Meta-influencer Harry Hill (@veryharryhill on https://twitter.com/veryharryhill (Twitter), Instagram, and https://www.tiktok.com/@veryharryhill/ (TikTok)); Twitter bots such as https://twitter.com/NYT_first_said (@NYT_first_said), https://twitter.com/ResNeXtGuesser (@ResNeXtGuesser), and https://twitter.com/aceCourtBot (@AceCourtBot); post-ironic Catholic Instagram pages such as https://tilda.cc/page/ineedgodineverymomentofmylife (@ineedgodineverymomentofmylife) and https://www.instagram.com/praying/ (@praying); and TikTok aggregator Leia Jospe (@favetiktoks420 on Instagram).

John welcomes writer/director Leigh Whannell (Saw, Upgrade, Invisible Man) and astrophysicist/science consultant Dr. Erin Macdonald (Star Trek) to explore the science of sci-fi. They follow the evolution of an idea through the brainstorm to edit phase, advising how to titrate the proper amount of fact to fiction along the way. We look at how science can catalyze a story in a round of How Would This Be A Movie. Topics range from solar storms, evil artificial intelligence, human chimeras, and advanced spacefaring civilizations. In the bonus segment for premium members, we discuss Leigh's proposal for an 80's shopping mall theme park experience.
