If you like a Long Island Iced Tea, wait until you try the provocatively named Adios, Motherfucker. It’s fun, boozy and blue.
Found a recipe for it that's worded like electrochemistry wrote it
Update: this tastes like if a baha blast could kill you and annihilates any ongoing anxiety attacks
Update update: comparing this to a long island is like comparing a pickup truck to a tank

"You hear that? They're saying The Odyssey doesn't even have nobody!"
"They've got nobody in the Odyssey?"
"No I'm saying they don't got nobody."
"Nobody's there?"
"Nobody's not there!"
"So everyone's there?"
"Everybody but nobody!"
If you've spent any amount of time studying Medieval Europe, one thing that you are bound to notice is how many different types of monks there are. Just considering monks proper, you've got Benedictines and Cistercians, and that's not even getting into all of the pseudo-monk-like religious orders. For friars, there are Dominicans, Fransiscians, Augustinians and Carmelites. When you get into canons, there are Agustinian and Norbertines. And all of the above have multiple offshoots and schisms. I'm reminded of the old jokes about the "crab cycle". Just another of the Church's attempts at evolving a monk. There is one step and it is monk.
The only way to make sense of all this is by recognizing the underlying paradox that lies at the heart of medieval monasticism: that monks were fundamentally rich people LARPing at being poor. Monks, nuns, friars, canons and what-have-you all predominantly came from the landed aristocracy, and monestaries themselves were some of the largest landowners in medieval Europe. And at the end of the day, no amount of rules or reforms about what is and isn't acceptable in for your peasantsona is ever going to change that. But the Church remained at least nominally committed to preaching holiness through poverty. And so every hundred years or so, a new order would be founded in a vain attempt to finally square that circle.
"monks were fundamentally rich people LARPing at being poor"
I don't think that's true. I think that our sources and surviving voices and perspectives are heavily slanted towards richer monks: the abbots and abbesses, the movers and shakers, the people from rich and powerful families, the nobles, the politically savvy, the influential ones, the intelligentsia. And by definition the literate ones, which emphatically wasn't all of them. ("almost all literate people were in the church" <> "almost all people in the church were literate")
The monasteries themselves were often rich and came with good land. (Not always! The rich ones were simply more likely to survive the centuries, and not decline and get abandoned.) But I think the majority of the monks who worked that land and maintained the whole estate (along with lay peasants) were not rich. There simply weren't enough spare sons and daughters in the families of the landed aristocracy, a TINY minority of the population, to, well, populate all the monasteries. So most of them were nobodies, serfs, peons, and they didn't need to LARP at being poor. If anything, the monastery offered them a kind of security – guaranteed food and shelter, even if it was modest and in exchange for hard labour – that they wouldn't otherwise have.
I said "I think" a bunch of times because I don't actually have data. I'd love to have some data!
Btw, there's a 1657 notary document from the island of Cephalonia, then under Venetian rule, where two monasteries come into formal agreement to exchange a monk for a horse. This is chattel slavery, yes? Hardly unheard of. The document is just interesting because the monk, named Kallinikos, was "lame of hand and foot", whereas the horse was a pregnant mare, "sturdy, with four legs". The current hypothesis is that the monk must have been literate, which explains why he was valued as much as a fully abled horse that would soon produce a second horse. Admittedly this is only semi-relevant (it's probably not Catholic monasteries), but damn.
Haha you don’t know how happy this would make Louis(my friend featured in my videos) he loves lonely island 🥹

For Three Days I Been Stuck In This Desart With No Fucking Water Or Goth Girls
So I do 3D modeling and printing as a hobby, and a few weeks ago I designed wheel guards meant to prevent office chairs from running over cables and clothes... or your pet's tail.
I got the idea from cowcatchers old locomotives used to have.
Anyways, yesterday I uploaded the model to Thingiverse, and just hours after uploading it, the Community Relationship Manager of the whole website left a comment suggesting I enter the model into a competition that's currently being held on the site.
So I did... and now it's in third place not even a day later. First place is $500, but the competition still has a month to go.
Then the Community Manager contacted me again, telling me they want to feature my model in an upcoming design promotion.
Just, what is happening? I mostly made this thing for myself in, like, an hour, and now it's suddenly super popular? This is all a little bit overwhelming 😵💫
Other models I worked on for weeks didn't get nearly as popular. I swear, it's impossible to predict what people will like.
Anyways, if you want to print the wheel guards yourself, you can get the model here or here.
I also made a quiet version you can stick furniture felt pads on.
People love simple, extremely practical things. I hope you win!

3 mutuals rb the same post in a row and u have to pick who to rb it from and it locks ur game into their ending of the game
i think in retrospect we were maybe a little too mean to the 'my partner and i saw you across the bar and liked your vibe' crowd. if an attractive couple said that to you it would be the best day of ur life. you would fold instantly. DONT LIE
EVERYONE get in the tags rn and tell me your favorite cheese
I'm at a :.|:; for words.

im not a talented photographer but these come close to capturing the overall effect (i.e., the raunch factor)
I know it feels good as fuck to cast spells from up there
