This is a myth from 1940s Britain
“How is the RAF so incredibly good at spotting German planes at night and in the fog?”
don’t say radar don’t say radar don’t say radar “ummm yes… its carrots. Carrots, lots of carrots, that’s it! Its because they… um… improve eyesight.”
Good Lord, what is happening in there?
Uh… Carrots?
Carrots? At this time of night?
In this fog?
At this distance?
Localized entirely around the island of England?
…yes
May I try some?
…no
The most effective piece of propaganda in history.
Nah, that’s either a whole bunch of what Rome had to say about their neighbors or the Catherine the Great is a Horse Fucker slander.
This is stupidity from 2020s reality…
ohh is that why I never see rabbits with glasses?
Fun fact: carrots were invented before glasses, so the first person to eat a carrot would not have been wearing glasses
So contacts then
Super tangential but this fucks with my head so much. How people would just navigate a blurry ass world until, historically speaking, very recently.
If you’re into anime look up Doctor Stone, they touch on just this early on.
And most of the first carrots would be purple
Only at night time though. He would still need his glasses during the day.
This is actually a common myth. Carrots do not affect night sight.
The reason why rabbits see so well during night is because they have radar.
Is that why their ears are so big?
Yup. One ear for search, the other is for tracking. If you boop their snoot you activate pulse doppler mode and track-while-scan.
I’m unreasonably annoyed that the carrot isn’t purple
The first carrot was purple
Fellow Zeducation viewer
Sounds like big carrot agenda.
Yeah i always misplace my glasses when eating a carrot.
You know you bit into a good carrot when the crunch knocks the glasses off your head.
“+2 Perception and improved night sight? Nice !”
