The way Bluesky has been reacting to this frankly glorious rock fills me with joy.
Inside us all there is still a little kid who can name every single rock in their rock collection.
The names may be Janet and Steve and Rockey but that is NOT the point.
I'm sorry, but I need you to see this rock that looks like a sandwich that I just found on Instagram.

Cellini on there TWICE and Socrates and Plato not at all?!
Like....this is the most irritating white guy list with the most irritating white guy mistake.
Exi Hinc, bruh

Well also if you read the article these are not released. They're controlled.

I am in fact working on something about that right now.
That said, Li doses are nothing to play with. It's got loads of drug interactions. www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supple...

I mean we really did put radium in freakin' energy drinks ok. www.cnn.com/2016/11/10/h...
When energy drinks contained real (radioactive) energy | CNN
There was a time when energy drinks actually contained real energy: radium, a radioactive element that releases a packet of radiant energy with every atomic decay.

And re: microbes www.sciencenews.org/article/prob...
Also: we DO NOT KNOW the makeup of a perfect Platonic ideal microbiome. It's probably going to vary person to person and by environment!
Some probiotics could feed, rather than fend off, infections
Probiotics containing Lactobacillus gasseri Lg-36 prevented C. difficile infections in mice, but L. acidophilus probiotics made infection more likely.

Sure the prebiotic sodas might be great! All the strains in your special yogurt might be fine or even good! But honestly there's so much we still don't know.
But that doesn't matter it's all good if you pop it in a soda.

And before you get all "BUT MICROBES ARE A UNILATERAL GOOD"
I mean, maybe? We literally don't know.
But back in the 19th century they absolutely though cocaine was a unilateral good. Also lithium! Also RADIUM.
For real Freud liked cocaine for hiking. Pep in his step.
-
It's wild to me how we'll just accept the unilateral good of anything if it's popped in a soda.
Sure you laugh at cocaine in Coca-Cola and lithium in 7-Up and you're like HAH no one would do that now!
Anyway how's that Poppi you're drinking?
