It’s Twilight Zone, but only the twists
Smoking was discovered independently in many cultures with different substances used by different cultures. In the Americas, it was tobacco, while the Scythians of Central Asia used cannabis in ritualistic hotboxes, as evidenced by archaeological finds of smoking tools in kurgans. Other regions, like India and Southeast Asia, saw the smoking of opium and herbs.
In this scenario Lenin does not manage to take over Russia and the warning to the world by the real life examples of Germany and Italy about the dangers of fashism does not happen either. Authoritarianism raises its ugly head later in a world with better weapons and more destructive potential for humanity.
It is one of this places that were built by anarchists without any license and look, smell and feel quite funky. The audience though is really nerdy. So the closest that comes to mind is a Hacker space in a large European city.
For me it almost sounded like a premise for a modern romcom.
You can even say “Sometimes it feels like you do not even know me at all!” In the sessions
Well it is an expensive date/hobby
I really appreciate that people in my city place their old books in small boxes with a “zu verschenken” (free to take) sign when they want to give them away. I’ve found many great books this way, along with a few quirky and unusual ones too.
Weird little drinking related story about finding my glasses from my college times: Got accepted for a PhD and wanted to party. Met a good friend and went to a Balkans party with loads of cheap booze. Wake up at 6am in a night bus out of town and can’t find my wallet on me. Run like crazy to the club/bar where the party was. Last people there let me search for my wallet. Only find my glasses in the bar toilet that I didn’t notice I had also lost. Lock credit card and go home happy that I at least found my glasses.
Now I want to see a 44-year old McCauley Culkin doing a new home alone, where his kids forget him at home.
Our group of teenagers should definitely split up to search for the monster and/or serial killer!
I Romania you have to go pretty far north to find it and it’s tiny.
Technically Correct
So “Yay me!” for throwing it to it’s certain death?
How do I know this not the real base64enc of Mr. Bean eating pizzaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Right in theory. But I used to live on the fifth floor and carried spiders to the window like I used to do before. In that Appartement the only difference to before was that I yeeted the spider from a height of 15m and not just 1m. That must be like skydiving without a parachute for the spider.
So this school was built on an ancient Pleistocene burial ground. I know that trope well enough to know what happened next
