Cocaine Bear

luxintenebris jokingly says...

could be worst.

"Unhinged Ursine: Uncut", " White Rock; Black Bear, "Siege of the Snow Bear", or "The Rampage of Pablo Escobear"?

(although, "A Bear Loses Its S*it In The Woods" might hype the film w/the its controversial title)

the sequel; a story about fermented berries eaten by a moose & it goes on a spree. "Murder Moose" (based on a real event)

("Elkoholic" just misses)

No it's not. Too long. I would watch the hell out of a movie if it's just "Cocaine" or "Bear."

ant (Member Profile)

noims says...

Congrats, Ant. I never realised ants lived so long, but a quick search tells me some can live up to 30 years.

Anyway, it's probably because of you (via Bluesnews) that I found my way here, so thanks for that. I'll celebrate by drinking some sugar-water to your health (although I may let it ferment for a while first).

FreshPotix | How Dave Grohl manages coffee addiction

newtboy jokingly says...

Do you let it ferment? Otherwise it's just plain coffee...and that's no fun.

I started with the hard stuff, quadruple espresso with near equal parts sugar....often followed by a second, at 16 years old. I calmed down to just 1/2 a pot of strong coffee daily now, still full of sugar and cream. I never liked coffeehol....alcoholic coffee....but I am a confirmed coffee addict. ;-)

BSR said:

Started developing a taste for it at 16. Hung out with some buddies and we would cruise "the strip" at night in Easton PA. Northampton St. We would stop at Dunkin' Donuts and I was the only one who would drink soda out of about 5 - 6 of us. Peer pressure ya know.

So I started to develop a taste for coffee by adding lots of sugar and cream to it. I eventually worked my way down to just one creamer and no sugar.

So now I'll have at least one iced coffee with an espresso shot a day and hot coffee in the morning and later at night. Since I'm on call 24hrs a day I have no regular sleeping pattern. I also drink cold Arizona Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey. Good stuff.

Whispers

newtboy says...

You got that symbol backwards, not surprising since math and science aren't conservative strong suits anymore, and you clearly hate your dog.

My dog > Biden > a ham sandwich > Kanye > a full, leaking, and fermenting diaper in the bed > a racist strain of Ebola > Trump

FTFY

Edit: perhaps I misunderstood...are these rated on how destructive these things are to America? If so, you may be correct, but then that's one bad dog.

BACON CAUSES CANCER!!!! MCDONALDS IS GIVING FREE CANCER!

Mordhaus says...

The cancer arm of the World Health Organization has some serious concerns about some of Americans’ favorite foods. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies processed meat as a carcinogen, something that causes cancer. And it classifies red meat as a probable carcinogen, something that probably causes cancer.

Processed meat includes hot dogs, ham, bacon, sausage, and some deli meats. It refers to meat that has been treated in some way to preserve or flavor it. Processes include salting, curing, fermenting, and smoking. Red meat includes beef, pork, lamb, and goat.

Twenty-two experts from 10 countries reviewed more than 800 studies to reach their conclusions. They found that eating 50 grams of processed meat every day increased the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%. That’s the equivalent of about 4 strips of bacon or 1 hot dog. For red meat, there was evidence of increased risk of colorectal, pancreatic, and prostate cancer.

Overall, the lifetime risk of someone developing colon cancer is 5%. To put the numbers into perspective, the increased risk from eating the amount of processed meat in the study would raise average lifetime risk to almost 6%.

----------------------------

Read the study. The average raises almost 1 percent. This was copied straight from https://www.cancer.org/latest-news/hot-dogs-hamburgers-bacon.html.

Also your stats are way off it's not 1% it's 18% for every 50g according to the WHO after reviewing 800 studies.

Lovely of you to claim propaganda, but of course, the bias is all yours here - or are you going to tell me you don't enjoy bacon?

DOLKEN SPISER SURSTRØMNING!!!!

TRRazor says...

It's called Surströmming and it's essentially fresh hering put in strong brine, which causes the fish to ferment over the duration of 5-6 months.

During this process it produces acids, sulfits and carbon dioxide which all contribute to an obviously disgusting smell.

Usually it is only eaten outside and the can is opened far away from the dining table.

Products that promise "detox" are a sham. Yes, all of them.

shagen454 says...

I did the "master cleanse" once for about a week. After that I felt like I was doing more harm then anything beneficial.

The most important thing is a healthy diet. The past month I have literary been detoxing.... really, I should have gone to rehab - that is how bad my alcohol problem has been The key to my success (10+ years of drinking 5+ drinks -pretty much every single day) - I started drinking two Kombucha's a day. There is no real evidence that Kombucha has health benefits (it even contains a small amount of alcohol). But, it has been a fine replacement for alcohol and has worked for me, it also doesn't contain many calories, so I've been sober, feeling good, losing a little weight and probably saving some money. It may be a "pseudo-scientific" product, but it's way better than any of the alternatives, as the fermented tea is a little like having an actual drink.

Another detox product is a herb called Kratom. This can be used in place of an alcohol or opiate addiction to overcome sometimes deadly withdrawal symptoms. Some people in the medical profession even use it for their aches & pains as they do not want to be on pharmaceutical drugs... but the DEA is going to be scheduling it as a Schedule I drug. Fucking... idiots....

Kuhn SW 4014 Bale Wrapper

oritteropo says...

The idea of the wrap is to stop rain from damaging the hay, so I doubt it would let moisture out either. The bale shouldn't rot though, since part of the process is that you only bale dry grass (or you risk a haystack fire).

The other way of storing grass is to cut it green and ferment it into silage.

bobknight33 said:

I found that oddly mesmerizing.

I do wonder about the wrap. Does it allow the moister out or would the bail develop rot?

Americans Try Surströmming

Zawash says...

Upvote the fermented fish!
It tastes way better than it smells - and the smell from a freshly opened tin is the strongest and most pungent.
In Norway we settle for a more palatable version - "rakfisk" made from freshwater fish like trout, instead of herring. It is also is fermented and smelly, but far from the same level as the Surströmming.

Kids try Natto for the first time

Sagemind says...

Why is this a food??

What person said, it smells bad, it tastes bad, it's fermented (aka rotten) - Hey, lets eat this!!!??

Nattō is a traditional Japanese food made from soybeans fermented with Bacillus subtilis var. natto. Some eat it as a breakfast food. Nattō may be an acquired taste because of its powerful smell, strong flavor, and slimy texture.

Squirrel has a little too much

moonsammy says...

We had a squirrel behave a bit like this in our yard a few years ago. It kept trying and failing to climb a tree, couldn't get more than a foot off the ground without falling off backwards. We happened to know someone who volunteers at a local wildlife rescue center, so I put on some thick gloves and grabbed it in a nice soft towel, then put it in a cat carrier. A few days later we heard back that it had made a full recovery, and they suspected it was drunk. Turns out that when doing some home renovation my father in law had moved our compost bin slightly, but not all of the compost that it was covering. We assume the squirrel got into some old fruit that had fermented and got good and tore up.

cooking an egg in a potato

oritteropo says...

Scrub rather than peeling the potato and eat the skin?

Scrub first and then cook the skins with thin slices of potato separately as a side dish?

Ferment the peel to make moonshine?

I hate throwing away the pealing too, but whatcha gonna do...

A collection of corn for silage harvester with 15m adapter

visionep says...

The corn has already been harvested. This process is just cleaning up the stalks and leaves. This is all ground up and then put in piles to ferment.

That's what "silage" is. It's usually used as a livestock food for farms over the winter. But can also be used for the creation of biofuel. Check out the Wikipedia page.

BicycleRepairMan said:

I'd love to see a close-up of the harvested corn, are they ready-peeled? , they look like they are pulverized, but its probably just that there are so many that look small next to the large machines.. Also, dont they get damage at that speed?

Tippy the Fainting Squirrel

moonsammy says...

We had a drunk squirrel once. Due to some work being done on the house we moved the compost bin, but not all of the compost with it. One of our local squirrels took the opportunity to sample some fermenting fruit, and got utterly plastered. We watched him from the kitchen for a while - he kept trying to climb a tree and falling off backwards. He'd then stumble around a bit before trying again. Eventually we took pity on him and brought him to a wildlife rehab center near us, and later got the diagnosis from them: drunk. Poor guy had probably just been trying to go home to sleep it off.

My Dad Drives Smooth When He's Blazed!

Chairman_woo says...

I have a simple test for this one. If you can no longer judge what is an appropriate amount of time to maintain eye contact with people, your too high to drive! (anyone who smokes should know what I mean)

Up until that point however I honestly believe it can slightly enhance ones standard of (safe) driving, especially if one is prone to a quick temper or impatience/ "a need for speed". Frankly some people are more of a liability when completely sober! (I know I used to be till I made myself calm down)

Unlike alcohol Pot tends to make one objective about how impaired ones senses have become. If your too high the little voice in your head tends to think "I'm really high, maybe I shouldn't drive yet?" rather than "I'm not pissed, I'm amazing. We can totally pull this off!".

Pot can also be surprisingly self regulating too, your most comfortable road speed is pretty much inversely proportional to how high you are, unlike certain other fermented vegetable products which are known to have the opposite effect....

IMHO existing laws for driving without due care and attention etc. are perfectly adequate to deal with potential abuse. I'm not saying it can't be a problem but equating it with drink driving is foolish and necessary to me.
This advert seems to have hit on a nice way of approaching the subject by simply suggesting you think twice about driving when baked our of your tree, rather than some unrealistic draconian shock tactics (Like the us advert at the drive through).

Good work NZ! (Wish I could afford to live there, seems like an awesome place)
