Okay, this may paint me in a bad light, but I was fucking 40 before I learned peanuts grew underground. I ain't Joe Rogan stupid, but dang.
Nobody around here grew them (that I know of), and I never went anywhere that grew them where I would see them.
I assumed they were like any legume, growing above ground like peas or green beans.
But noooooo, they're ground nuts. Which I thought was a different plant entirely.
Out of all my damn family on both sides, visiting (and working on) various farms, nobody grew the damn things.
So, yeah.
I'm all for introducing the saying "I'm not Joe Rogan stupid, but..." into the wider world.
In plenty of languages peanuts are also called 'ground nuts' or 'earth nuts'
Ouch, I had to think about what it's in my motherlanguage and it's actually earth nuts (Erdnüsse in German).
If you had asked me how they grow it would have been a 50/50 if I got it wrong.

Yea, hate him or not, he immediately researched his incorrectness. This is not something we should make fun of. Education is how we solve ignorance, even if the topic is nuts.
Nah I've watched him ask for a claim to be checked, his checker came back saying that it was a true claim when it was total bullshit.
Dude gets zero credit for half assed - at best - fact checking. Peanuts are not dire, but the dumbass wants to get into life or death real world shit without doing the work. Fuck Rogan.

Joe Rogan's not stupid, he just had chronic traumatic encephalopathy from some injuries in his early twenties. Also he is an asshole.
Well, being as generous as possible, he says things a stupid person would say, with a high frequency. If that's due to tbi, I feel sorry for him, but he's still saying a lot of stupid stuff.
If someone says stupid stuff all the time, they are stupid. Doesn't matter if they have an excuse. Especially if the excuse is that they did something stupid that made them stupider.

I live in SW Ontario which used to be prime tobacco territory as in teenagers used to work tobacco fields in the 90's when I was in HS. Both peanuts and tobacco love a loose sandy soil.
Point being, no one is expected to know how something grows unless they have some knowledge that makes them intimate or they're a fucking nerd. Lol

Thank god, the exact thing I hoped to find. You rock!
To be fair to the dude, I didn't know this either until a teacher taught by teaching us about peanuts. How many of us know much about most of the things we eat?

How did we do an entire module on George Washington Carver in first grade, and they never told me peanuts grow in the ground like potatoes
TIL peanuts don't grow from a tree lol
Peanuts, like coconuts, are not nuts. A person with nut allergy is not necessarily allergic to peanuts (and vice versa). They are 2 separate allergies.

Natürlich! Wo sollen Erdnüsse sonst herkommen, wenn nicht aus der Erde?

Think Rogan would fuck a chimpanzee?
Well, a key question is 'Do you think a chimpanzee would let Joe Rogan fuck them?'
Because if not, it's not consensual, and that opens up some serious questions.
Good luck trying to fuck a chimpanzee without consent. Those are strong as hell.

I think he kinda does every time he jerks the ween, no?
Would or has?
I grew fennel last year. Have been eating fennel for years and thought we were eating the root part (the white part) and that the green part was the above ground part. No. There is a root underground but the whole fennel sits on top of the soil looking like it will tip over any minute. The white and green parts.
I know food, have worked at groceries, in restaurants, health food stores, I cook. But gardening has taught me new things, and I'm over 50.
Joe Rogan should have stayed this way.
I mean he's still a moron. Now he's just better paid.
