  1.  @leschab  in Ukraine, the kombucha scoby is called a Tchainy Hryb, which is just Ukrainian for tea mushroom. As a kid I thought people find this special "tea shroom" somewhere and then it grows and pees into your bottle with its tentacles, only recently learned it's a bacteria colony that you can grow yourself.

  2. Dude is so bad at making wine he runs a vinegar empire. Indeed if someone's wine is bad you say "dude this tastes like vinegar!" xD

  3. We would still discover alcohol as it's naturally occurring in grapes and fruits that are overripe. Birds love to get high on fermented berries. They can have air crashes because of drunk flying, too!

  4. regular industrial vinegar is okay-ish for clearing off rust, and especially scale if you have hard water leaving white residue on teapots and pipes, BUT citric acid is both safer and cheaper. The whole "cola can drink drain pipes" thing is because it has citric acid inside it, I get powdered one for cents and especially with hot water, it instantly cleans any kettle, acid just reacts with base, which the scale is made from.

  5. Survivor bias selection. Guys who tasted that, survived. Those who tasted some other stuff, didn't.

  6. We have very cheap Otset in Ukraine, which I assume is chemical as it's relatively flavorless compared to apple and grape one and transparent, and I used it for both cleaning rust and technical cooking needs, like making conservation, which is very important thing. We pickle everything.

  7. I put this stuff on second monitor because I need work done on PC in photoshop or whatnot and without external sound the internal thoughts get too noisy!
