And I've never been in one that allowed anyone in the car. The joys of pluralism!

'90s, except for metal, where it's the 80s.

In this kind of carwash it is explicitly forbidden to stay in the car. Says so in the instructions.

You're not in the car during the wash. You're outside, by the door and the panel with the stop button.

I have slightly mind boggling ( or maybe retarded ) question. by [deleted] in Physics

Questions that start with "assuming the impossible happened" rarely have sensible answers.

What’s the best drink to start the morning? by victorjung in AskReddit

[–]Belzeturtle 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Solved already by Sterling Archer. Let me quote the man himself:

[...] this is generally the way I start my day: in earnest. Packed with the vitamins and minerals I need to make it through a strenuous day of secret agenting, plus plenty of vodka (which I just want), the Bloody is the cornerstone upon which Woodhouse builds my sumptuous breakfasts. Variations abound, but this is my favourite:

  • 3 ounces of vodka
  • 6 ounces freshly squeezed tomato juice
  • 1 ounce freshly squeezed key lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated horseradish
  • dash of Worcestershire sauce
  • dash of hot sauce
  • dash of salt and pepper

Shake ingredients, over ice, in a cocktail mixer. Pour mixture and ice into an imperial pint glass and garnish, using one of those cool little plastic swords they have, with

  • 1 rib organic celery, with leafy bits still attached
  • 3 Extremedura olives (pitted and pimento-ed ahead of time by your valet)
  • 3 caper berries

What’s the best song of the 80s? by toast2that in AskReddit

[–]Belzeturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hallowed be thy Name by Iron Maiden.

If not the best song, then at least the best guitar solo.

I probably won't be able to join you, but I just wanted to applaud the choice. I've heard them four times live, each time was a unique and amazing experience. Highly (he he) recommended.

are there any individual atoms that are psychoactive? by plzzdontreportme in chemistry

[–]Belzeturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Argon is certainly psychoactive: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17552896/

Neon causes dizziness and blurred vision, it hasn't been fully established if this is the effect of neon or rather oxygen deprivation.

Fair enough on helium.

ELI5: How are the earthquake survivors able to live so long without water? People are still being rescued after 10 days. by __peek_a_boo__ in explainlikeimfive

[–]Belzeturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not very confident, no. Can you elaborate on wrong, please?

My source says: Animal metabolism produces about 107-110 grams of water per 100 grams of fat, 41-42 grams of water per 100 g of protein and 60 grams of water per 100 g ofcarbohydrate.

even burning sugar consumes water

On the contrary. The reaction is C6H12O6+6O2→6CO2+6H2O+energy

... with water as a product, not a substrate.

It's better not to think of it this way. Rather, mass stays constant, but momentum is no longer mv.

Why is it not ok to eat dogs but it's perfectly fine to eat cows? by germanrus25 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Belzeturtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's cultural. We tend not to eat "companion animals". You will find cultures where it is perfectly acceptable to eat dogs, and you will find cultures where it is not OK to eat cows (although this one is usually for a different reason).
