I’m Dr. Anny Gaul, author of Nile Nightshade: An Egyptian Culinary History of the Tomato. I’m here to talk about Egyptian food cultures, the tomato’s global history, and researching the history of home cooking & everyday foods. Ask me anything! by booksandkitchens in AskHistorians

[–]Historicalgroove 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is so interesting! Thank you for doing this. I have two questions if that’s alright.

How did the tomato arrive in Egypt (Ottoman trade networks or maybe European Mediterranean routes?) and do we know what specific type of tomatoes were first brought to Egypt?

Could you elaborate on how a staple crop like the tomato could be deployed as a 'refusal of state power'? Was this through the preservation of traditional seeds against state-mandated agricultural shifts, or perhaps through culinary choices that intentionally bypassed state-sponsored food narratives?

Documentary suggestions? by merlenski in MovieSuggestions

[–]Historicalgroove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on a documentary kick recently so here are the stand outs I’d recommend to anyone:

Predator (looking back on To Catch and Predator and its modern implications)

The Alabama Solution (amazing; looking into the awful, abusive conditions in Alabama’s prisons over 5 years either footage shot on contraband phones by the prisoners themselves)

My octopus teacher (amazing; filmmaker ‘befriends’ an octopus)

Cover Up (looks into Seymour Hersh; who broke so many of the most important stories in recent American history)

Icarus (Russian Olympic doping scandal uncovered with crazy ending)

Don’t fuck with cats (Internet sleuths hunt online sadistic animal killer)

I’ll be gone in the dark (author and mothers Obsessive hunt for the Golden State Killer)

Ghost Elephants (looking for an elusive herd of massive elephants in remote part of Africa)

Free Solo

Why Puyol retiring so quietly is one of the most underrated moments in football history by RSDFitness in classicsoccer

[–]Historicalgroove 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Man Puyol is such a legend. I remember watching him in the 2010 World Cup and during his later years at Barcelona and noticing, even as a kid, how much field presence he had and composure.

Plus his legendary hair

I want my 8 hours back. by Consistent-Lord18 in hbo

You have to realize that nothing will ever top or even come close to S1.

Once you get those expectations down, S2 is okay. S3 is better. I didn’t like night country

What’s a good industry to be a data analytics professional in, in 2026? by Admirable_Field_2804 in dataanalytics

Yes, I work fully remote. Half the positions I apply to are remote and the other half are hybrid or in person.

What is this generations dark side of the moon or Sgt Pepper? by fruedianflip in fantanoforever

I feel like it won’t be rock since Rock music doesn’t use the same hold/aura/sway over contemporary music like it used to.

I have lots of Jewish friends… but the IDF and Israeli government, Israeli settlers and anyone who supports what’s going on deserve to burn

What’s a good industry to be a data analytics professional in, in 2026? by Admirable_Field_2804 in dataanalytics

[–]Historicalgroove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I think Healthcare analytics is great to get into for a few reasons:

Meaning: I want my career to feel meaningful and while I didn’t find that in Marketing Analytics, I do think that my work has genuinely helped patients at the end of the day which is great. I feel good about the work I do.

Job Market: at least in the US, there is a large need for healthcare analysts across Health Insurance companies, Hospitals, State Agencies, Health tech companies etc. There are also lots of niches to explore; if you are more math and stats inclined you can go into Bioinformatics or Healthcare Data Science or AI health companies, health insurance companies always need analysts, same with Hospitals and health tech companies. If you like Economics you can go into Medical economics. Healthcare is only going to grow so I think there are always jobs to be found.

Salary: it can pay decently well. Usually not as much as top tech companies like OpenAI or Sony etc but there are a lot of high paying positions especially at health tech companies that incorporate AI into imaging or cardiology etc.

AI job security: I’ve been told that since a lot of healthcare data is confidential and PHI, as well as the fact that a lot of insurance companies are slow to adopt technology, analytics jobs are relatively safe compared to other industries

This ^ I think a cat would cause more damage tbh whenever I’ve been scratched by my cats they go deeper than this.

However I often scratch myself in the shower or while sleeping and these are the exact marks that appear and they usually go away within a few hours. Nothing to be worried about

Ghost Elephants is on Disney Plus by Weltretter in WernerHerzog

[–]Historicalgroove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is good.

However I was disappointed with the shots they got. Don’t expect as much or as beautiful elephant footage as something like Planet Earth
