manchineel perfec t place for rest under in rain
RATING: 🟢 RELIABLE 🟢
Manchineel do fit the description here. There are noted for being sweet smelling and tasting, with a large stone insisde.
From Britannica: 'The sweet-scented fruits are borne singly or in pairs and range in color from yellow to reddish. The fruit contains a hard stone that encloses six to nine seeds.'
The most common reaction to ingestion seems to be oral blistering with burning sensation, rather than numbness. However, as this individual claims to have licked and not eaten any, this could account for the descrepancy.
From Britannica: 'Consumption of the fruits is potentially lethal and frequently causes burnlike blisters in the mouth and esophagus.'
Whether it's the most deadly fruit in the world is difficult to say, as there isn't enough data on the subject, but it is highly toxic and frequently considered one of most deadly. Howstuffworks claims the species is 'Known as the most dangerous tree in the world.'
It is often called the death apple tree, apparently named by Spanish invadors.
From Howstuffworks.com: 'The manchineel's small apple-like fruit definitely won't keep the doctor away — it packs such a poisonous punch that the Spanish conquistadors called it the manzanilla de la muerte or little apple of death. This ominous name may sound extreme, but history shows that indigenous peoples used the sap to poison their arrows and contaminate the water supply of the invading Spaniards.'
It is also true that sitting under it during rain can cause harm to skin.
From Britannica: 'The milky sap of the leaves and bark contains an irritating chemical called phorbol, which generates a strong allergic skin reaction. Raindrops falling through the tree can collect phorbol and burn a person standing underneath.'
The claim that 'manchineel perfec t place for rest under in rain' is subjective. Humans may not enjoy the burning skin element, but the striped iguana might think it's the perfect place for a rest, as they're immune to toxic elements of tree.
From Howstuffworks.com: "And it provides a safe home and full belly for one lucky reptile — the garrobo, or striped iguana of Central and South America. Immune to its poison, the garrobo has the tree all to itself."
Plants do this thing where they want their seeds distributed by certain animals that will do a good job at distributing without destroying the seeds.
Peppers are hot to mammals because mammals chew and grind seeds but a bird will gulp the soft pepper seeds and distribute it, thus birds are immune to capsaicin. (If you feed chickens peppers they will be happy and give you eggs with reddish yolks)
Peppers are for birds, the plant made them for the birds and tries to make that clear. Humans were…bizarrely the opposite of deterred.
Manchineel fruit are for garrabo only. Exclusive relationship between tree and lizard and this tree sets very clear boundaries.
Ok so it's clear to me that some of y'all are having issues with this video. As someone who understands breed specific behaviors and dog body language this shit is objectively hilarious to me. Lemme explain why:
Beagles are a very vocal breed. They are hound dogs, specifically hunters, so their job is to communicate and be extra loud when excited or a "treat" is found.
Due to their nature as hounds, and in part genetically predisposed health issues, they get fat often. They're prone to eat too much and need exercise. Old beagles tend to get over weight.
This dog is not biting, frustrated, or aggressive. He's wagging his tail, licking his owner, and engaging in hunting behaviors (barking, sniffing, pointing, and nipping.) This dog is trying to catch his treat. He's working for his reward.
TLDR: The dog is having fun. Don't take it seriously. Using a crunchy mic with a beagle makes his barking sound so funny. Enjoy the humor.

Betty White when Death comes calling
Tried to find the original source (the vid description gives it… but are out of date or something)… Still, here it is, in full, with sound:
a) That is the creepiest Death I’ve ever seen in a moving format.
b) What the actual fuck did I just watch.
c) I’m always here for little old ladies curbstomping malevolent supernatural entities.
d) @pepperstrawberry is a HERO for finding and providing the full video.
