Depends on where you’re from and what the regulations are, might have been just non-denatured high% vodka essentially. As so much was needed regulations weren’t the strictest everywhere.

Anyway, I’m not gonna believe you before I see you take a mouthful of 80% alc and swirl it around your mouth and smack smack smack mmm. Without making any sort of sour face.

Because if you do, then that’s actually medically concerning, because that’s a poison and we have systems in our bodies to make us not ingest poisons easily. As in, that’s why we can taste bitter. Alcohol isn’t bitter per se but it’s a volatile solvent, and at those percentages it’s just not in anything way a taste. It’s a sensation.

I may be wrong, but I don’t believe you. You also say you don’t "really drink, so I’m thinking a younger person who’s had a small hit and enjoyed the aftereffects and can’t now discern them.

When you talk about “ethanol for disinfection”, do you mean denatured alcohol? Because if so, I believe you even less.

Well yes, Iran used to be nice.

Unfortunately they had/have oil.

Yeah I’m not gonna believe this before I see you drinking 80% alcohol without making a sour face.

Sooo… a theocratic nation lead by irrational bigots, using decade old ultracapitalistic plans… aren’t getting shit done?

I just played for the first time ever.

Realistic af. Even got the older wounds bleeding

You mean billionaires who are murderers, not people willing to murder billionaires?

Because the latter is what I prefer.

If the maggots aren’t jumping, it’s considered to have gone off, iirc.

Well it’s essentially just herbal opioids, so yeah, it will make you dependent then you can ease that dependence by getting even a harder dependence from like Oxy or fentanyl.

Again, it would be about the volume, not just having music in a helmet.

Tony’s type A personality may suggest he was in fact listening to it too loud.

Iluvatar vs Morgoth?

2000s were the peak crossroads of old and modern life and its fun to look back

FYI in ten years kids will be saying the exact same thing about the 2010’s, just like they did 10 years ago with the 90’s and for my gen it was the 80’s-70’s.

Usually these TIL threads give me nothing new.

This one is new to me. Thanks.

If deterrence worked the US wouldn’t have such a high murder rate and drug prohibition in general would actually work.

Looks like Nikita was right and 2A ppl wrong.

Wait you mean that in capitalism, the people with a lot of capital have it easier?

Almost as if the more of it you have, the easier it is to make more of it, but if you have none, then you’re shit out of luck and have to agree to be someone’s slave.

I agree with this

Cheers. That always feels good. Kinda like getting candy. But not waiting in a foodline. I have tried both.
