  Alright so I got curious. For the non people-who-know-what-viscosity-is-measured-in people out there, viscosity is measured in centipoise, which is 1/100 poise. Water is 1 centipoise, hence why we use centipoise over poise. Don’t ask me any more than that because I have no idea what I’m talking about.

  Lava is anywhere between 10,000 - 1,000,000 cP. According to this chart, there are many edible things that fall within that viscosity. Now lava is very hot, so if we’re going to simulate the experience of eating lava in a safe way with edible ingredients, we need something that is that viscous at high temperatures. This page (PDF warning) says that 140f (60c) is the highest temp food can be without burning you immediately.

  There isn’t much on the above chart that is both edible and has its viscosity measured around those temps. The most promising one was chocolate, which is about 25,000 cP. But it doesn’t have a temperature listed. According to lived experience and my ass, melted chocolate has a pretty consistent viscosity at various temperatures, making it a suitable stand in for molten lava.

  However, viscosity isn’t the end all be all of a lava eating experience. Lava is rocks and rocks are dense. Lava also looks like it would be sticky. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything on the chart that matches the density of lava that is still edible (2600-2800 kg/m^3 for those who were curious). And there is also no unit of measurement for stickiness. But google tells me that some lava is sticky like peanut butter. So our edible lava needs to be considerably dense (thus, chewy) and sticky.

  With these things in mind, I think the best edible stand ins for molten lava would be hot peanut butter (250,000 cP), with honorable mentions being rice pudding (10,000 cP @100C), and hot toothpaste (70,000 cP @40C). Color them bright orange and maybe throw in some Carolina reaper for authenticity and baby you’ve got some edible lava going

  It’s what the Renaissance men would’ve wanted

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make sure your priorities are straight⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wikipedia says the term analingus was coined in the late 19th century and my cursory glance at google showed that there were explicit references to eating ass in early modern texts (~1500s). So tongue punching the fart box is at least as old as the Renaissance. Take the precautions you would normally take for butt stuff (disease free, recently bathed, haven’t pooped or eaten in 3+ hours, an enema if you’re fancy) and you should be just fine. Eating ass is fun and I will die on this hill

  My suspicion is that your stopper isn’t sealing well, possibly from wear or just odd positioning. If you feel like ruining what’s left of that Jim beam in the decanter you can run a little experiment. Clear the condensation out of the decanter and mark the current level. Leave it for a week and see if the level dropped to establish a baseline. After marking the change, coat the stopper in Vaseline and leave it for another week. See if that helped or not. If it helped then you’ve got a leak

  Wish I could be of more help. I’ve had two different types of generic instant release and they both tasted lightly sweet and went down with 0 issues . Maybe I got lucky haha. Idk if name brand or generic makes much of a difference price-wise for you but you could always try parachuting your pills (without crushing them obv) to put a barrier between your tongue and the pill

  Don’t be fooled, they put a sugar coating around the OTC stuff

  Yes, however, do beat the absolute piss out of the limes. The granulated sugar is there to act as an abrasive as well as draw the oils out of the lime rind

  Sounds tasty, I’ll give it a try

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2 Handles of Vodka, that’s it!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My favorite mojito recipe:

  • 2 Oz (60 ml) white rum

  • 1/2 Oz (15 ml) rich demerara syrup (2:1 sugar to water ratio)

  • 1 lime, quartered

  • a goodly amount of fresh mint, ~10-12 leaves

  • a little bit of sugar

  • ~2 Oz (60 ml) soda water

  Build:

  Put a little sugar in your glass, chuck the lime and mint in, muddle.

  After you’re done muddling, fill your glass with ice

  Add a splash of soda water (not the whole 2 Oz), rum and syrup, stir until chilled

  Too the glass up with soda water, stir again to incorporate the soda

  Garnish with a fresh mint sprig

  Notes: I really like Planteray 3 star or flor de cana 4 for this recipe. Planteray has an earthier flavor while the flor de cana has a more fruity/tropical vibe. If you don’t have access to demerara sugar, you can use light brown or raw sugar for a substitute.

  You can buy 200mg pure anhydrous caffeine pills at Walmart for like $5. It’s abundant and as safe as coffee if you don’t go nuts. The max daily recommended dose is 400mg, anything past that could cause harm

  Ryan Hall is doing a Livestream on YouTube providing all day coverage of the hurricane. Several cameras up in areas that will receive the worst of it. Several meteorologists on staff, radar info and explanation, storm chasers on the ground. Pretty much all of the information you could need. Link

  I was a roofer for a few years. In Florida, a state with some of (if not the) the most strict roof codes in the country. It’s perfectly ok to layer shingles like that and was common practice for a good while. I’ve torn off houses with 4+ layers of shingles several times and had the decking be just fine underneath them. You have no idea what you’re talking about

  I’m ideologically opposed to party and institutional politics on a foundational level. The fact that people are forced to compromise on their values, the “lesser of two evils” system, the whole “closest to your values” thing is a horrible way to approach politics. It rings true if you don’t think about it too hard but it’s pretty bullshit. At the end of the day, when you are only permitted a political voice at the ballot box, you are forcing yourself into the labels you’ve been given by a group of parasites that do not share your interests…

  And yeah, single.issue voters probably have other issues. That doesn’t mean they fit within their chosen party’s platform. There are plenty of pro-lifers who fit better in the democratic camp on other issues but value abortion above the rest. I’m not saying it makes sense or is worthy of respect. It’s simply a thing that is
