There are only two things or people that I don’t tolerate:
People intolerant of others’ ways of life…
And the Dutch.
…
Wait, I am Dutch 😨

… it’s very hard experimenting when you’ve no idea of potency or dosages.
This.
Fun thing I bumped int a few weeks ago: the guy who’s credited with inventing LSD tried a bit to see how it worked and how it felt. But he had no idea just how ridiculously potent LSD is. I forgot the exact numbers, but I do recall the ballpark. So he had a Fermi-estimated 100 μg while he only needed like 10 μg for a good time, so not only did he have the first known LSD trip, he had the first known bad trip.

After reading this, for some reason, the phrase “cryogenic hellfire” lives rent-free in my brain.

Wonder what that’d look like to a layman. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9… Awesome? Beastly? Crushing? Deafening? Ear-shattering? Fuck that’s loud?

If we’re going to assume the copyright of the body would rest with the first Homo Sapiens, that was tens of thousands of years ago, so even under Jamaican copyright (life of the author + 95 years), that’d be public domain.
Plagiarise away!

- Comment on Honey 3 weeks ago:
Non vegan here. 🤔
Soooooo honey is not extracted directly from the bees, so that would be an argument to declare honey vegan.
On the other hand, even with modern beekeeping tech and modular hives, one could argue the act of taking honey to be a serious intrusion on the bees’ life, so that could be an argument that honey is not vegan.
One could argue where the line lies with eusocial organisms. Do you consider the individual bees or do you consider the whole hive? Whole hive? Honey may not be vegan. Individual insects? Honey could be vegan.
It really depends on your standards. One vegan friend of mine does drink mead (honey wine, for the uninformed) for instance.

I have hands that can turn into fists. Does that mean I was created for hitting things?

Forty-one sounds insanely hot as an outside temperature if that’s the standard you’re used to. And that’s the thing that the Fahrentards refuse to wrap their head around.

- Comment on Is the US finally getting ‘all aboard’ with electric trains? 2 months ago:
That would mean that instead of an engine, you’re lugging around a battery pack, which is just as heavy while giving you a fraction of the range of an engine. Not to forget that battery cells have only a finite lifespan.
Meanwhile, OHLE gives you infinite range and room for major weight savings. Plus you can keep running the same power system for decades.
