    “Jelly, jam and preserves are all made from fruit mixed with sugar and pectin. The difference between them comes in the form that the fruit takes. In jelly, the fruit comes in the form of fruit juice. In jam, the fruit comes in the form of fruit pulp or crushed fruit (and is less stiff than jelly as a result). In preserves, the fruit comes in the form of chunks in a syrup or a jam.” - HowStuffWorks website

      I'm still waiting for the day when Ashens gets his hands on some 5500 year old honey. It'll be a weird video, since while we expect the taste of rot from ancient foodstuffs, the Ancient Egyptian honey will very likely be just fine, since honey is pretty much an immortal foodstuff due to being mostly super-concentrated flower sugar.

    5:11 in America, jam and jelly are viewed as two different things.
    Jelly is the mass-produced garbage you find in supermarkets, it's easier to spread on toast because it has a thinner, more watery texture. Jam is thicker because it's got actual chunks of fruit in it (like marmalade), and isn't really mass-produced, so most of the stuff you get is from local companies that make their own preserves the old fashioned way. It's more of a southern thing.

    the use of the word jam in america is a regional thing, something that has changed over the years, and a technical distinction.

    What the British call jelly is what we refer to by the brand name Jell-O or it's actual generic name (in both versions of English), gelatin.

      Jellies are generally a thin spread of cooked fruits and sugar with a gel-like consistency and a pretty uniform look throughout. Jams are usually thicker and contain some pulps from the fruits, so it's not a uniform consistency like jelly. Preserves are (my favorite) actual pieces of fruit or whole berries suspended in a jelly. I think the website "Fine Cooking" goes into depth about how they're made and some of the greater differences.

      @Ollister 237 r/braincels Woof! Can I just say that I am a fan of your channel where you make videos whilst incarcerated in a prison cell :) I especially liked the one you made about your (frankly mind-blowing) collection of 5 pairs of shoes :)
      As a way of thanks to you for that wonderful gift of a video, let me relay to you the story of how I, Velma, from the famous "Mystery Incorporated" finally left Scooby Doo and the gang :( It's a tough read, and I'll admit, nowhere near as grand as any of your videos, but please, bear with me :)
      It all began on Tuesday. I had walked in on Fred skullfucking that bitch Daphne in the disabled toilets at Tesco, and that was the day I left Mystery Incorporated. I mean, we had some good times, (although that stoner prick was SUPER annoying sometimes..."YOIKS SCOOBS, WE, LIKE, BETTER GET OUT OF HERE!" ...what a fuck-knuckle...).
      Anyway, after I left I pretty much had a lot of free time on my hands, and god knows how much money I had acquired from solving mysteries and catching crooks, (as the brains of the group, I was put in charge of the finances. Lets just say I earned a significant amount more than the others...those dumb cocks!) and sitting at home alone just wasn't doing it for me. I had to stimulate my brain in some way.
      At first, I tried activity groups like a pottery class, clay pigeon shooting, and that class where you get to draw a naked person with their winkie or fanny out (one day, the model was male. He walked to the centre of the room, disrobed, and posed. We were all looking forward to painting him, but noticed a small bulge on his cock, gradually moving! All of a sudden, a baked bean slid out from under his foreskin and plopped onto the hardwood floor beneath! Needless to say, we were all shocked and immediately battered him to within an inch of his life and dumped him in the alley! That was a good day...). I gradually came to the conclusion that everyone around me, wherever I went, in whatever I did, is a fucking idiot clownboat. They were all drooling fucking idiots! It was at this point that I gave in to the inevitable, stayed indoors avoiding the general public, and developed a powerful and gripping addiction to Methamphetamine and Cocaine!
      At first it was just a little, then a little more, and more... until I was spending thousands a week to feed my habit. I would leave the house only at night to go into the woods, strip off all of my clothes and go feral. I would drop down on all fours and hunt other animals, tearing them apart with my bare teeth, shredding the skin with claws made with my very own hands (kitchen knives taped to my hands), and feverishly devouring the flesh. Even the brain.
      The feeling of power is incredible. The sense that I am absolutely fucking invincible is very real, and the energy that courses through my body while I am tripping balls is immeasurable. One evening I punched a car into the moon!
      I have reached transcendental euphoria and my body has become that of the galaxy almighty.
      Incalculable forces flow through my being and unfathomable thoughts race throughout my teeming synapses.
      My presence here on your earth is but a sack of flesh and brittle bone, but out there, in the flashes between space and time, I am Velma, the Almighty Godhead.
      I am everything.

We STILL haven't got flying cars, Tony Blair isn't Prime minister anymore, and something called "Twitter" has fucked everything and everyone. For ever. And ever. Amen.
