I favor gorilla tactics in conservation the same as I do in many other respects!

I want to say Kin-Dza-Dza. It’s a very silly and memorable work of Soviet science fiction.

Well, it is now 3 years since that article was published back in 2017, and I’m proud to say that my memories have not been altered in any way that I can tell.
On an unrelated note, I’ve been hooked on this sparkling water called “Dr. Breen’s Private Reserve”

Jimmy Neutron “sodium chloride” ass reply, “everything is edible at least once” is a common joke that works precisely because words’ definitions are not rigid

Amanita bisporigera, or the aptly named eastern North American destroying angel, if anyone’s wondering.
From Wikipedia:
The principal amatoxin, α-amanitin, is readily absorbed across the intestine, and 60% of the absorbed toxin is excreted into bile and undergoes enterohepatic circulation; the kidneys clear the remaining 40%. The toxin inhibits the enzyme RNA polymerase II, thereby interfering with DNA transcription, which suppresses RNA production and protein synthesis. This causes cellular necrosis, especially in cells which are initially exposed and have rapid rates of protein synthesis. This process results in severe acute liver dysfunction and, ultimately, liver failure.
I could not confirm that it causes liquefactive necrosis of the liver specifically, however. I wouldn’t doubt it, but I couldn’t confirm it.

This reminds me of that TEDx (I think it was TEDx) talk where the guy claimed that you could see the letters E=mc^2^ in the Devanagari symbol for Om, as if this revealed some sort of profound truth about the universe.
The funny thing is that that’s literally all I remember about that talk. I don’t remember what the guy was talking about for the ten to twenty minutes before that point, just that the talk concluded with him looking super self-satisfied while saying something incredibly silly and cringeworthy.
