A bottle of Canadian Club legit from 1963. We drank it neat while watching Mad Men.

Devi, in What is the most unusual spirit you have in your home bar?

Pisang Ambon, banana liqueur, I tried it in a bar in Spain, really liked it, and bought it. But what do you do with Banana Liqueur in your house? Nothing mixes well with that. Occasionally I sip it, but I've had it a decade and drunk maybe a third.

stoy,

I wonder if you could use banana liqueur with milk and ice cream to make an aloholic banana milkshake…

I just found Pisang Ambon at Systembolaget, what an intencly colored bottle!

Devi,

I'm sure there's one you could but the one I have curdles the milk. That was one of the first things I tried.

RBWells,

Do like the French and use it in cakes. Would be nice in or on banana bread or pancakes.

I have Giffard banana liqueur and it is hard to use, it does add a great element to a few drinks but you don’t need much.

PlayStation 2 due to it’s game library.

chatokun, in Is there an artist whose work you love but was a shitty person?

Like many mentioned, lots of examples. First one to come to mind for me was Exurb1a. Sarcastic and witty videos about science, philosophy, futurism, etc. I remember one video had a joke about tossing an ex out a window I found uncomfortable, but he also used a bunch of self derogatory humor etc, and his style did include exaggerated characters etc.

Then some convincing evidence came out that he was an abuser and iirc also raped someone. I don’t have the link now and as usual don’t believe stuff a random anonymous person says on the internet, but it was disappointing to say the least.

voxthefox, in What is the most unusual spirit you have in your home bar?

Probably the earl Grey infused gin I’ve had in a decanter for 4 years now. It’s pretty goof, but hard to mix with

NigelFrobisher, in What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

It’s got to be Dark Matter. So many astrophysicists have spent so much time thinking about this stuff and all they’re really sure about is that there must be much more matter in the Universe than we can see, and yet we never actually seem any closer to knowing what it is. In conjunction with Dark Energy it just leaves the layman with the awkward possibility that maybe our model of The Universe is just fundamentally flawed somehow.

Wogi,

I think that eiher, we fundamentally misunderstand gravity at a quantum level, and we are seeing all of the matter there is, but can’t anyway calculate gravity with our current understanding of it, or, we fundamentally misunderstand how time, gravity, and space interact.

brain_in_a_box,

And have you looked at any of the data to form this theory? Would you be able to articulate why dark matter is the preferred theory over MOND?

YoorWeb,

Technically it’s not a theory, wouldn’t even classify this as hypothesis. Calm your tits.

brain_in_a_box,

Have you looked at anything to form this wild speculation then?

NikkiDimes,

Chill bro, he’s got a feeling

NES. Zelda, Mario, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear (kind of), Dragon Quest, etc.; it was the beginning of many great franchises.

hedge_lord, in What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

The moon not being made of cheese. The moon is in fact made of cheese. I do not care how much a bunch of nerds insist that it is not made of cheese. I am objectively correct about this and anyone who disagrees is wrong.

Jimmyeatsausage,

If the moon was made of spare ribs, would you eat it? I would. It’d be delicious!

slingstone,

And wash it down with a tall, cool Budweiser.

YoorWeb,

Budweiser is watery, go for a proper German lager.

slingstone,

I’m just continuing the bit (badly, admittedly, since I didn’t get the exact quote right). That’s the next thing the character says, more or less, though. In case you don’t realize, all this stuff about the moon being made of spare ribs is a bit from Saturday Night Live.

Aliendelarge,

I call on the FDA, USDA, or whatever agency to use their power to add lunar regolith and all otger moon constituents to the accepted definition of cheese. I also suggest all other countries to just take our word for it since only us and the nazis have set foot on the moon and who are you going to trust? Us or the nazis?

derf82, in What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

Lots of stuff from both social sciences and economics.

Social science suffers greatly from the Replication crisis

Economics relies largely on so-called natural experiments that have poor variable controls.

Both often come with policy agendas pushing for results.

I take their conclusions with a grain of salt.

Wogi,

Economics is purely based on assumption, at it’s core. There’s no proof the assumption is true, and recent trends seem to point towards it being false.

Economics assumes people are rational spenders.

But the “economy” is often just represented by the stock market, which is both not rational, and not a good measure of the economy. It’s a great indicator of how much wealth is being extracted from the working class, but it’s shit at representing how most of the money is being spent.

afraid_of_zombies,

Economics all makes sense when you understand that they are being paid to produce data backing up the position of the person paying them.

freeindv,

Social “sciences” are the epitome of opinions being pushed as fact via the appeal to authority fallacy. Much of what falls under that label are baseless belief systems built upon towers of lies

gac11, in What is the most unusual spirit you have in your home bar?

Centerba. It means hundred grasses in Italian. It tastes like grain alcohol infused with whatever they cut down in a field. Maybe a hint of mint too? It’s fluorescent green now because food coloring is cheaper than bright green glass apparently.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centerbe

stoy,

That looks really cool, I will have to try and get one just for the look if nothing else

DuckOverload, in What is the most unusual spirit you have in your home bar?

A handle of tequila with cacao nibs added. I do infusions, and this was a failed experiment. Should have tried it in a mason jar.

Though it usually works out well. I have a bottle of premium Costco vodka with two anise stars and some simple syrup added. It’s like a homemade ouzo and delightfully sippable for $18 a handle. I also have slices of pear in another bottle, and it’s yummy. And a mason jar of bourbon with black peppercorns, which I like to splash into an Old Fashioned.

Hot tip: Buying flavored liquor is expensive and never as good as infusing it yourself.

SheerDumbLuck,

Have you tried it with Sichuan peppercorns? I hear it’s really different.

DirigibleProtein, in is there a term for words such as inflammable?

Don’t “inflammable” and “flammable” mean the same thing?

Aussiemandeus,
@Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone avatar

Yeah, but Inflammable sounds like it isn’t flammable

Longpork_afficianado, in Is there an artist whose work you love but was a shitty person?

Lostprophets were one of my favourite band during my formative years, and I still love the music, but any time I hear it now I can’t get past the fact that the singer was a literal baby rapist.

swordsmanluke, in If You Had to Worship or be the Champion of an Ancient Greek God/Goddess Which One Would You Pick?

Hephaestus or Athena by career, but my heart belongs to Artemis.

ThatFembyWho, in What is the most unusual spirit you have in your home bar?

Just finished off a bottle of chartreuse.

Now it would be sacrificio, a type of mezcal.

Most unique I’ve had might be Zirbenz stone pine liqueur.

Obi,
@Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

I was gonna say chartreuse isn’t that exotic but then I remembered I’m French and it might be, when you’re not.
