Me too, honestly. Mostly just for fun; they had all the good “cures” back then.
And since they hadn’t figured out how to do fermentation yet, they would very likely all be super lightweights! You’d have a great time with the tribe for the price of two cases of cheap swill.
Unless they understand at least as well as birds that spoiled fruits will get you drunk… fuck, now I have things to think about..
It’s worth the watch if you like existential surreal stuff.
It’s been one of my faves for decades. The mad world song is easily one of my faves so I’ve naturally watched it a bunch.
If you like it there’s a sequel S. Darko, which tells the story from his sisters perspective, as I understand it, but I haven’t seen that one; you can’t improve on something already perfect.
I just say the following every time:
“Your mother would be so disappointed in you if she really understood what you were doing, wouldn’t she?
Ruining the lives of little old ladies, just like mama. She’s probably not well off either, right Mr scammer? I feel for you. Really I do. I’ve lived in poverty my whole life too, and it’s been a huge struggle just to get by. But me? I wouldn’t shame my family by scamming people just like us out of what little they have. My mamma raised me better than that. I’m sure yours did, too.”
I always get a reply meaning it definitely strikes a nerve, usually get some sort of bravado about how mama is proud because they bring home the money, and I just respond “if you tell yourself that enough maybe you’ll believe it someday, too!”.
But I don’t want to be totally heartless because a lot of them don’t have meaningful options, and I get that, and I’m not the ragey sort generally. Or at least I try not to be.
I have an eBay account from 2000 or so, and my email is nearly as old I believe.
I don’t use the eBay account all that often now, but on and off throughout the years. Last used last year.
Fun fact:
Ye is not pronounced with entirely vowel sounds, as is often heard. Y was a thorn in middle and Early Modern English, which represented the “th” sound so it was still pronounced the.
(This was just a linguistics fun fact, in old English the thorn would have been written Þ or þ which ruins your joke, but wasn’t my intent :( )

Relevant bit: with the arrival of movable typeprinting, the substitution of ⟨y⟩ for ⟨Þ⟩ became ubiquitous, leading to the common "ye", as in 'Ye Olde Curiositie Shoppe'. One major reason for this was that ⟨Y⟩ existed in the printer's types that were imported from Belgium and the Netherlands, while ⟨Þ⟩ did not.[5] The word was never pronounced as /j/, as in ⟨yes⟩, though, even when so written.[6]
By that logic literally anything other than blasting it into space is temporary. Mountains weather, oceans turn over, even the planet as a whole has a cycle that involves melting the subducted sea floor and releasing gasses.
Sure it’s temporary, but if we have enough temporary storage to offset the (drastically reduced, I should hope) emissions, and continue to replace what is used/burned/etc, does it really matter if it doesn’t last forever?
When I was in the service, whenever someone would complain about something mundane, someone up the chain of command would always pop in and say something along the lines of “a bitching sailor is a happy sailer. It’s when they stop complaining you know there’s a problem”.
I still haven’t quite sorted that one out, nearly 2 decades on..
Tho it is true; my most recent job (that I quit for mental health reasons) near the end I tried to just keep my head down and not get fired before the 2 year mark.. kept my mouth shut about everything and avoided talking to anyone as much as possible. I was quitting because none of the issues were ever addressed when I brought them up..
I’m in a similar boat, except that most strong perfumes trigger headaches for me. I’m not really interested in testing to figure out why, I just avoid them as much as I can.
You spray me with perfume without my permission, I absolutely will treat it as assault, because that’s what it is. (Fortunately this isn’t really a thing anymore as far as I’ve come across)
If spitting on someone is assault, spraying them with unknown chemicals must be, too, right?
Loose lips sink trains, don’t they know anything?
Hilariously wrong on every count, because Jerry’s last name in Rick and Morty is Smith.
There are two well known people named Jerry Dunn, but ones a basketball player and the others a runner.
Also I wouldn’t say Jerry is obsessed with or otherwise has unhealthy relationships with couches, the wine spill is incidental to his spiraling.
I wouldn’t call Amish people particularly violent, and all their transport throughout their lives is horse/buggy/bike..
