    I drank cobra whiskey I got a bottle of in Cambodia, only to find out it was a ton of formaldehyde and instantly, involuntarily, violently puked it all up everywhere

    My brother used to do chewing tobacco. He would spit into pop bottles. He left one laying around in the kitchen. I tried to steal a sip of what I thought was A&W root-beer. It was the same colour.

    What came next was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever experienced. Imagine drinking someone’s thick cold saliva mucus that had a disgusting apple cinnamon and smokey tar taste.

    I ran to the sink as fast as I could and spat it out and forced myself to throw up.

    What do they mean trigger warning: unsanitary

    Clearly it was very pure virus concentrate, after removing all the dead cell pieces. That sounds sanitary as fuck.

          glass half full half empty has no good answer. This one does.
          Heaters are 100% inefficient machines (tho 100% efficient at their job) and pure virus is 100% unsanitary (tho 100% pure)

    BTW, human tissue might not be targeted by a bacteriophage virus, but our gut is filled with beneficial bacteria. This is why people get the runs from antibiotica and why there’s shit transplants.

    Most viruses are probably not surviving the acid bath that is our stomach, though.

      Just read an article that was basically saying we should consider all gut flora frenemies now. If you don’t eat enough fiber even the “good” kinds that help your body process it will go for your mucus lining, breach the cell barrier and enter the bloodstream. This causes inflammation and may also accelerate aging. Neat.

      TLDR; eat fiber and don’t get old.

        Or don’t eat fiber and don’t get old as well.

      I guess it’s a part of lab sciences. How do you think they find out if thing in tube X is sweet yet poisonous?
