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
- What tf is cobra whisky?
  
  A bottle of brown liquid that i was told was whiskey with a king cobra inside. Mine also had a scorpion with its stinger in the cobra’s mouth.
- There's a story behind this.
  
  Taxidermist trying to make a "novelty" piece, probably

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.
- Jeezus, I almost threw up just reading this. 🤮

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.
- Is a space heater 100% efficient or 100% inefficient?
  
  Is this the new meta for glass half full/empty?

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.
  
  TLDR; eat fiber and don’t get old.
  Or don't eat fiber and don't get old as well.
- A creator I enjoy is currently eating capsules of shit to fix his gut bacterium
  
  Better hope it never pops open in your mouth
- If we ever get acid resistant viruses, that is how humanity goes out
  
  Those exist.
  There's even bacteria that can live in stomach acid and cause terrible issues. Like helicopter
  Edit: I'm keeping that typo lmao

Boiled down San Pedro cactus juice is number one for me. It tasted like ultra concentrated bong water.
- Ultra concentrated bong water probably doesn't get you off your chops like mescaline though
  
  The worst part is it did absolutely nothing.

ok.
...WHY?!
- 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?

What's with the enormous hashtags?
- It's kind of a tradition on Tumblr to use the hashtags as sort of a "PS" section of your text
  
  Make them stop

He wanted to grok it?
