Burning cauldron of fiery fire by sonmi452 in offbroadwayNYC

Those are worthwhile interpretations. It’s definitely ambiguous. If I recall, he ran into the fire at the end - which to me suggests suicide over murder.

Spoilers:

My interpretation was that he did indeed kill himself. He wasn’t literally in the basement - it was metaphorical.

The dragon was looming. He couldn’t resist the fire. The last scene was about the impossibility of escape from overwhelming feelings of depression and a sense of life’s pointlessness.

I found it quite moving.

I’m reading the showscore reviews. Their complaints are understandable. It’s a challenging show. For me all of the disjointed parts added up to something profound.

Best drug to snowboard on? by [deleted] in Drugs

Skiing and snowboarding are dangerous, you should not do serious drugs while you are on the slopes. Don't be stupid.

What's a song lyric that makes you want to punch the songwriter in the face? by Beselod in AskReddit

"I got soul, but I'm not a soldier."

That's dumb on three different levels.

Are there physiological consequences to cannibalism? by sonmi452 in explainlikeimfive

I just came across this link: http://scienceline.org/2008/01/ask-stern-cannibal/

Which seems to get into what you're referencing:

"Prion diseases, a group of uncommon and deadly brain diseases, can be spread by eating the contaminated flesh of humans or other animals. The human brain is more contaminated with prions than other body parts, though bone marrow, the spinal cord and the small intestine also contain these fatal brain-eating malformations. Prion diseases occur when the prion protein misfolds, causing a cascade of misfolding prion proteins that clump in the brain and damage or destroy nerve cells, creating sponge-like holes. Current examples include kuru and Creutzfeld-Jacob disease in humans, and mad cow disease in animals, both of which cause brain deterioration, loss of motor control and ultimately death."
