upon scouring the internet, the only reference I can find to Russian horse ash vases is this meme. I don't think this is real

[–] [email protected] 122 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's not real. The kind of chocolate used in these is just shit. Source: a former child who had to eat those.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

That moment when your relatives or family friends gift you Russian chocolate candy like it's a special treat but you just really don't want to put it in your mouth

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

could you find me a link for something that talks about this awful Russian chocolate? cuz I couldn't find that either

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I guess I can give you a link to how it looks packaged https://images.app.goo.gl/xAAtahXj3H6KYqtx5

It can also be St Claus (Grandfather Frost in Russia) or a bear

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I feel like the biggest give away is that you'd notice pretty quickly whether or not something is chocolate. The fact that this guy ate cremated ashes and STILL assumed it was chocolate is unbelievable.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

not if your a dark chocolate liker B)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

you need to eat better chocolate, normal dark chocolate tastes fine if a little bitter.

Even after covid?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago

I searched all my cupboards for Russian chocolate. It is all crumbly and objectively terrible/an acquired taste.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Oh thank good, I was so confused for a while.

I mean, horses aren't even real.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could be real, can't be too sure, gotta double check.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As an expert on equine burials in the pacific, I’d like to weigh in. Ocean burials make up the overwhelming majority of pacific horse funerals, but there have been notable advances in stratospheric inurnment in recent years.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what about the ash vase chocolate thing?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You’re right, I got a bit ahead of myself. Allow me to clarify. In general, the wind in Russia moves from east to west, which is a consideration in both air travel and windmill construction. However, helicopters are among the least impacted aircraft due to their free-form movement and large, stable propellers. Takeoff and landing can both occur within a relatively small area even in unfavorable conditions. I hope that answers any lingering questions.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I love you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

yes, that answers everything. thank you

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I look at the ceiling will you steal my lungs?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. Unfortunately, I’m all out of Chianti.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was more referring to this clip, but I also appreciate a little Silence of the Lambs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

As a fan of non sequiturs, I'm a bit surprised to have never seen this. Thank you for the link!

I put a can of Guinness into the fridge today and noticed there is something solid rattling around in it. And now I'm scared to open it and find out what it is.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey thank you!! I really had no idea.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Lol nw! I was surprised too when I first bought the cans in college.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That article seems ai generated.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

it's either AI generated or written by someone who has to meet a minimum word quota and desperately wishes for another job

If you’re not joking, it’s the widget. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widget_(beer)

It's just the foam bullshit thing, you're good

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's what the CIA wants you to think! It's actually a kinder surprise.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That would be no problem either since I'm not in the US. I'm perfectly allowed to swallow and choke on a little toys...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

You are too afraid to open up a Guinness can to find out what the hell is in there

I'm too afraid to open up a Guinness can because I'm afraid it won't be accepted by the can/bottle deposit machine afterwards

We're not the same

Uh how is a vase chewable in any way?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's made of horse ashes. I'd think it would melt in your mouth and taste bitter.

They probably thought it was stale dark chocolate

Or maybe this is made up

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or maybe this is made up

Nuh uh.

mr hands is that you?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its probably not very strong because of the materials used.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

? horses are very strong, like 1HP+

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but it was a miniature horse: -1 CON, +2 DEX

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

isn't it a nightmare? it's dark and was at least made with a lot of heat, so it's stats would be a bit higher, i think something like: -1 CON(+2 against fire), +3DEX, +1STR, +2WIS

what do you think?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If its a nightmare replace the +2 against fire with a +2 against psychic and we're good. I'd say cosplay Oblivion's nightmare and make them not die but....

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

More like 14HP. Many humans can produce 1HP

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Somebody has that reaction meme at the end?

[–] Martineski 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Deeply appreciated!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I lold at that, too :)
