...wir sind am Karlsplatz in ein kostenloses Freiluftkino gestolpert, das an diesem Abend einen Film gezeigt hat, der mein Hackerinnen-Herz restlos begeistert hat:
"URTOBEN - Viennas illegal artforms."

Als wir ankamen, haben sie gerade lockpicking erklärt. :D Wir sind dann einfach da geblieben und haben den ganzen Film angesehen, über Street/Graffiti Artists, die als urban explorer die verborgenen Orte Wiens erkunden, zum Beispiel die Tunnelsysteme. Große Empfehlung! 😻

Gestern hab ich noch meinen letzten Essay für dieses Unijahr abgegeben (bestehend aus drei Trimestern), heute bin ich schon frei und fahr eine Woche mit interrail durch die Nachbarländer 🖤 Erster Stop: Wien!

(... natürlich ist im ICE die Klimaanlage ausgefallen, ein Wagen fehlt und Leute mussten wegen Überfüllung rausgeworfen werden 🙃)

@BenCotterill really early. Here in Finland, I expect first tomatoes in early August. I have similar dark tomato growing called 'Indigo Rose'. It should have high anthocyanin content as probably also in your tomato.

Yeah they’re not ripe until colour starts coming through. Been told these will start getting red patches and “look like Darth maul”!

You know, the #tomato was once called "love apples" to get folks to eat them. Apparently this was a #marketing ploy, to give the hint that they encouraged the love thing

That said, I have one tall tomato vine, though it’s of little use, it still climbs fine.

@BenCotterill I used to have variety called Black Russian for some years, but in the end gave up, as I managed to get ripe tomatoes of it one year, and mostly it just bloomed so late none of the tomatoes ripened before night frosts in October. It may have needed a greenhouse, which I didn't have.

@BenCotterill

I investigated briefly the cause of the coloration (anthocyanin; thanks, poor memory). This quote from Wikipedia may be noteworthy:

"In a 2010 review of scientific evidence concerning the possible health benefits of eating foods claimed to have "antioxidant properties" due to anthocyanins, the European Food Safety Authority concluded that 1) there was no basis for a beneficial antioxidant effect from dietary anthocyanins in humans, 2) there was no evidence of a cause-and-effect relationship between the consumption of anthocyanin-rich foods and protection of DNA, proteins, and lipids from oxidative damage, and 3) there was no evidence generally for consumption of anthocyanin-rich foods having any "antioxidant", "anti-cancer", "anti-aging", or "healthy aging" effects.[5]"

Show threadStrfnurfnJul 8
@VulcanTourist @BenCotterill There have been numerous studies showing benefits from dietary anthocyanins - I'm not sure about "anti-aging" specifically, but a quick search on PubMed brings up a ton of research. The evidence might've been thinner in 2010, of course.
