      @bronesbrones2599 Před 8 lety +9

      +Felipe A. Barretto Bran is thought of as a really bland cereal (it's essentially just grain) so normally people add fruit to make it nice. So a pessimist is someone who puts bland bran flakes onto fruit (prunes in this case)

    My journo school teaches us to use the same question when testing sound. It gives the subject something to actually say (rather than 'say something') and breaks the ice a bit - helps them to relax and appear more like themselves, which isn't always easy on camera.

    Sincerely thank you for this video. It really shines a light on the personality of the scientists that we’ve come to know. Taking them out of their professional mindset and putting them into a somewhat more personable light really humanizes this channel. Amazing work and I’m sure I speak for most people who subscribe when I say; having little breaks of this type of content would be thoroughly enjoyable.
