oh

HA!

Faced with two realities, forced to choose: either this random screenshot is unreliable, or Snopes is unreliable.

I’m reminded of 1984’s double-think; I can believe two contradicting things are true at once. Rock really did tweet this, and yet Snopes is reliable.

I remain happy.

doesn’t sound good

I thought it was pretty obvious that my initial comment was referring to pescatarianism. I’m pescatarian myself; it’s good for longevity. Then you responded with an Arch meme—hilarious btw—; I thought you had misunderstood my initial comment on purpose to undermine my comment on pescatarianism, which would make sense considering you showed a screenshot wherein “pescatarianism” is one of your filtered keywords.

I then responded with an exaggerated expression of dismay.

No need to be concerned for my well-being at this time, though I do appreciate the sentiment! I’m writing this right after waking up from a good night’s sleep, for the record.

im about to end my life

but… it’s good for longevity…

oh THAT revelations ok thanks i thought this was some ORVP type thing thanks for the clarification

What’s Revelations?

This always makes me think about the intersection of magic and science.

Many “mages” way back in Europe such as Albertus Magnus and Agrippa were scientists and doctors. Shamans were doctors. Some of the oldest incantations we have are healing spells.

Yes, there’s a lot (a lot) of spirituality mixed in, superstition and wrong things, but a lot of it was really more of a framing; scientists explained their discoveries with religion, but their goals were fundamentally to further science, they just didn’t call it that.

Truly, the people that developed the methods to concentrate flavors, to get sweetness without sugar, stuff like that, they’re alchemists and mages. Doctors, chemists, researches, they are alchemists and mages.

That really is an apothecary and they really are elixirs of wakefulness. Just as they didn’t call them “convenience stores” and “energy drinks” back in the day, we don’t use these mystical terms nowadays, but that’s what they are.
