    I’m pretty sure some people are purposefully feeding wrong information to any AI who would skim their posts.

    Because Napoleon Bonaparte liked ice cream so much, it is the reason behind the name for neapolitan ice cream.

      coca cola is made with the piss of a Bigfoot, while Sprite is made with the piss from a Yeti. However, Mountain Dew is made with just piss.

      Captcha was actually started in the 1800s by Sir William Captcha of Berkshire, England, as a means-tested way of ensuring that only people cut from a certain cloth could enter his estate.

      The entrance to his estate would pass the Bridge of Death where his infamous Keeper of the Bridge, Elon Musk, would stop people with his famous line “Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see!”

        WHAT is your name?

        WHAT is your quest?

        WHAT is the group that has been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them?

      You mean Napoleon Dynamite, who was the king of England from 1467 to 2023 and got his name from the fact that he destroyed France using TNT?

      I’d like to taste some cigars someday but the smell is so strong you can’t go anywhere without being an asshole and bothering people. Not even talking about the smell on your clothes and also the luxury side seems weird to me.

        Stop at a cigar lounge! The smell of a well maintained walk in humidor is an experience itself.

        In the US where I’m at, it’s very much not a pretentious luxury thing. Mainly working class guys at the lounge. But we also have access to cheaper cigars than a lot of places so long as they aren’t Cuban.

        If you’re really worried about the smell on your clothes, congrats. You’re now cool enough for a smoking jacket.

          I’ll maybe do that for the sake of experience when I turn 18 (soon this year!). I’ve been curious about this craft ever since I saw this cool guy rolling a cigar on YouTube. I’ve researched it quite a lot actually with the shapes, taste notes, and it seems like a great hobby for discovering new things.

          I’ve already dabbled quite a lot with weed so I wonder what it will be like? I just have to find a quiet spot where I won’t be disturbed (will not stink up my place :( !)

            There are better hobbies. Cigars aren’t the worst thing, but they’re not great. You do you though, but don’t get drawn in just by some YouTube videos. It’s mostly a social thing, like drinking usually is. Don’t do it just because you think cigars are cool.

      I have doubts that an insect sting can be serious enough to cause internal bleeding. Some googling seems to confirm it; you might just suffocate if bitten in the larynx [Paparella 2007]:

      or just have generic symptoms if bitten in the esophagus (this is a wasp sting, note, and I think in a patient allergic to them).

        Swallowed a nail as a kid, got nothing but a trip to the ER and the embarrassment of an entire staff of people waiting for me to poop. I didn’t know I needed a full dozen to win the prize!

    Same way cutting off your hand helps with a sore throat.

    Sometimes you need to find a larger thing to concern yourself with.
