To get any aphrodisiac benefit out of the psychoactive Phenylethylamine in Chcocolate beyond a placebo effect, you’d realistically have to wolf down several kilograms of the darkest, most bitter chocolate AND be on an MAOI (a class of drugs used for Parkinson’s and otherwise treatment-resistant depression).

You could ask for Bupropion (Wellbutrin).
It’s an atypical antidepressant/smoking cessation aid that supposedly increases a person’s sex drive. A decreased sex drive is often a symptom of depression, however most antidepressants actually decrease it even further (if you’re a guy below 30, that’s usually a bonus though,…

RED SUN!
RED SUN OVER PARADISE!
Golden rays of the glorious sunshine
sending down such a blood-red light
now the animals slowly retreat to the shadows - out of sight
Arid winds blow across the mountains
giving flight to the birds of prey
in the distance machines come to transform me - day by day

Non-stinking shit might not necessarily be a good thing though - the sulfur-containing amino acids, Cysteine and Methionine, are *very* important for your body, no matter how horrible they may make your poo/farts smell.

Also... if us white people wanted to “appropriate” the Afro and act like we invented it, why would we still call it an Afro? Wouldn’t we call it “Fluffycurls” and introduce it by having a Kardashian wear it on a Vogue cover, instead of pointing out how unlikely it normally is for a white person (That “You (yes, you!)“…

I saw Gavin Rossdale perform at a concert in my hometown about, oh, 3 years ago?

At one point during the show, he got so pumped up that he started humping an amp.

It was the midlife-crisis-iest thing I’d seen in my life.

I’m still going to steal the name “Dickon Manwoody” from GRRM.

“It’s political for author after author to claim their depictions of rape as reflecting reality while they fail to depict other real-world concerns like dysentery or flu epidemicsy.”

Dysentery is, I shit you not (no pun intended!), a pretty major plot point in the latest ASoIaF book, A Dance With Dragons, complete with…

I think the Japanese generally have a bit of a love affair with German culture as their interaction seems more like a partnership between two proud nationalist countries, as opposed to an attempt at undermining the traditional Japanese societal order by greedy foreigners introducing guns and Christianity (their…

For a second there I thought he was channeling Niki Lauda with that cap. Except Lauda retains more of his natural hair and never had such horribly discolored skin.

I dunno, when I was at the psych ward a few years ago and they said the Clown Doctors would be coming over at 3 PM, I made sure to spend an hour in the yard to avoid them, because I knew that watching them miserably fail at being funny would only get me even more depressed and I’d have to ask for an extra Ativan to…

The dwarf planet Eris was initially nicknamed “Xena”, with its moon receiving the tentative name “Gabrielle”. After the dwarf planet was officially dubbed “Eris”, “Gabrielle” was renamed “Dysnomia”, a name chosen because it not only refers to a daughter of the mythical goddess Eris, but is also the Greek word for…

“Ich bin Casper... der freundliche Geist, der freundliche Geist, der schärfste in der Stadt...”
My brother introduced this movie to me when it ran on German TV.... needless to say the dubbing didn’t make it easier not to burst out laughing at Casper and Telly’s ramblings :P

As a drama, Kids always felt like a massive failure to me. Telly and Casper are such horrible pieces of human garbage that AIDS can’t kill them fast enough for me, and any girl stupid enough to have unprotected sex with these little shits and thus potentially become complicit in passing on their genetic material to…

Atleast they gave us the basis for one of my favourite covers ever:
Saul Williams / “Niggy Tardust” doing “Sunday Bloody Sunday”, produced by Trent Reznor

Offing yourself with a fuckton of pills is actually pretty hard unless you either have access to opiates or are willing to risk a high chance of surviving with severe damage to your organs if you’re using OTC painkillers.

Killing yourself with downers worked in the 60s, back when we were still using barbiturates.
But…

It’s As-Par-Tame (/ˈæspərteɪm/ or /əˈspɑrteɪm/ as Wikipedia puts it)

Stevia is a mix of several compounds with tastes ranging from “horrible” to “barely acceptable”.... actually, it’s not just the taste, but also the fact that it tends to come on very sloooowly (like a 1 or 2 second delay after putting it in your mouth) and then linger on the tongue forever.

Commercial Stevia is often…

Actually, as someone with a Master’s in Food Science, I can tell you with confidence that *all* high-intensity sweeteners taste worse than sugar, BUT the trick is that they are all inferior in their very own special way. So the trick is to combine several sweeteners into a blend so there isn’t enough of each that…

Caffeine pills have been around for a long time though.
Over-the-counter caffeine pills are typically around 5 bucks for 50 or so pills at 100 miligrams (i.e. 25% more caffeine than a can of RedBull) each.
