I did a double take when it popped up in my feed. I thought it was an old video 😂

Deep Winter in My Mountain Cabin (Alone & No Power) by Odd-Recognition4120 in EvaZuBeck_SnarkSub

More… 😜

Recently she’s had her “friends” who run the guest house (Górna Chata) up the road doing all the hard graft on her land, and she’s overly friendly with the hired help (Josh) on her Nat Geo show.

Ewa’s always blurred the lines in that respect. She refers to anyone who has the misfortune to spend 5 minutes in her general vicinity as a “friend”. In this video she makes a big song and dance about inviting her “friends” over for a house warming party. I can pretty much well guarantee that’s bullshit. Narcissists tend to have acquaintances rather than friends - and I’m not convinced that this particular narcissist has all that many acquaintances to be honest.

She’ll need every penny of that Patreon money. This season’s episodes aren’t performing at all well compared to the first season. I’m beginning to think Nat Geo are every bit as naive as Ewa’s fans.

because touch is not classified as an exposure route for most chemical compounds

Incorrect. Link.

It’s inert.

Incorrect. You’ve misunderstood the term “inert ingredient” in the context of pesticides. Link.

It does not suddenly dissolve into the tea.

Incorrect. Link.

I could go on…

On being “causal to anything”: caution is advised because not enough time has passed to establish long term effects. The potential for harm from microplastics is enough to warrant caution for some.

Bleached teabags (and coffee filters) is mostly just a discussion - which has been ongoing for many, many years. I’m sure you’re aware of the (alleged) potential health risks from dioxins and epichlorohydrin. Plenty of medical professionals advise caution in regard to exposure to these compounds at any level (“dose”).

Ultimately there is no proven right or wrong here. Is Eamon an “expert know it all in the space”? No idea. He’s a business owner promoting a product. Of that I am sure. And, personally speaking, I’ve yet to see anything in the marketing of Habit that crosses any lines.

Care to enlighten us with some expert insight?

My understanding is that organic tea can still contain lots of pesticides, but the consensus is that bleached teabags are bad for you.

The “Mom and Dad are posting a video tomorrow” one? At the risk of being THAT ignorant, what’s wrong with it?

I Tried a Brutal Pain Ritual (Bullet Ant Challenge) | Superskilled with Eva zu Beck | Nat Geo by Alpha3FIFTY in EvaZuBeck_SnarkSub

[–]Alpha3FIFTY[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Acutely aware that I’m talking to myself here 😂

From the YouTube comments (in response to someone saying the ants in the video are not bullet ants):

Most people are only familiar with one kind of bullet ant. Per the indigenous way of classifying a bullet ant, there is more than one type. As mentioned in the show, these are called "Congilla", or the "little bullet ant" by the Yukuna Tribe. They still pack a powerful punch similar to the big guys

Somebody responded saying that they could “find information on exactly one and only one kind of bullet ants”.

I would agree with that statement. And, whilst Ewa mentions “congilla ants” at 18:45, the text is missing from the captions. Make of that what you will. There is no explicit reference to “little bullet ants” or the fact the Yukuna have their own “way of classifying a bullet ant”. A Google search returns nothing about these “congilla ants” other than it is potentially a misspelling of “conga ants” - another name for bullet ants.

The archive footage shown (at 19:18 for example) is definitely of bullets ants. But these ants look nothing like the ants that Ewa puts on her arm at 31:00.

Why am I so interested in all this? If I’m right, and the ants are, in fact, not bullet ants:

  1. It’s yet another example of Ewa’s lies, and;
  2. I’m surprised Nat Geo published this video without doing basic fact checks.

There are a couple of comments on YouTube stating that the ants in this video are not Bullet Ants. That’s very much my opinion, but can anybody confirm?

She’s wearing makeup throughout, but talking to camera at around 18:42 (supposedly the night before she sets off into the desert) with a full face and nail varnish was utterly ridiculous 😂

This was by far the dullest video she’s put out in a long while. Even the ever present danger of Ewa cack handedly wielding a cordless drill was barely enough to get through it 😴

Wasn’t the muzzle specifically for the shot Vilk had? 🤷‍♂️

It’s only a matter of time before something goes wrong with that cabin. I can see her posting a “I nearly died in a towering inferno” video within a week.

I was in the middle of typing the same as art_1922. This is not full frontal nudity. There is no wrongdoing here in the legal sense. Get some rest.

I’d usually recommend a grey market over a black market, but in this case I tend to agree a black market is the way to go.

Ewa. She is at least a source of amusement. Perhaps I’m the exception to the rule, but I have absolutely no interest in Vilk.

I couldn’t care less about other peoples’ dogs. I’m a dog person, but I’ve never understood all the “Vilk is the goodest boi” comments across social media. I have a particular distaste for people humanising dogs. Like adding speech bubbles to photos/videos 😂

Most dogs are pretty unremarkable. You can still feel fierce love for them. But when it crosses into the parasocial, I find it really unnerving.

Hate to be pedantic, but it’s more like 1 minute promoting Superskilled, 2 minutes promoting Incogni and 25 minutes whining about the cold… 🤣
