When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.

Posting guidelines.

All posts in this community have come from elsewhere, it is not original content, the poster in this community is not OP. The person who posts in this community isn’t necessarily endorsing whatever the post is talking about and they are not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.

You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.

Rules:

• Be civil and remember the human.

• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.

• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.

• You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

• Try not to get too political. A lot of these posts will involve politics, but this isn’t the place for political arguments.

• Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguements sake.

• Mark NSFW posts if they contain nudity.

• Satire is allowed but please start the post title with [satire] so other users can filter it out if they’d like.

Please report comments that break site or community rules to the mods. If you break the rules you’ll receive one warning before being banned from this community.

This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:

  1. Be civil, remember the human.
  2. No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
  3. Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
  4. Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
  5. Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  6. Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
  7. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
  8. No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

Fruits that fall off the tree ferment and make alcohol. Monkeys, apes, and other animals eat them for the alcoholic effect.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 67 points 1 year ago (3 children)

God didn't make those. Wait. Shit.

[–] asdfasdfasdf@lemmy.world 87 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They were manufactured by fallen fruit.

Yeast is the Devil confirmed.

Bread is the devil’s food

I thought that was a kind of cake.

Birds get drunk off fermented berries. And it's the funniest shit you will ever watch. Well...until you find out that drunk birds crash into windows a lot.

[–] DarthNinja@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is the main reason birds have a hard time getting a driver's license

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago

It's maybe a reason, but I'm sure there are bigger issues considering how much drunk drivers WITH a license there are

Also, many species of birds don't live to be 16 (some do, though, but those ones also rarely drive.)

Bees also get drunk off fermented fruit, and they are mean ass drunks. Source: I grew up on an apple farm.

OMG my blackberry bushes... those poor drunk idiots...

[–] Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

So that's why they crash into windows...

If anything, God made alcohol incredibly prevalent and easy to discover and produce

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The apple Eve bit into was fermented for sure

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you make alcohol out of figs?

[–] scrapeus@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can basically make alcohol out of anything with sugar and the right yeast.

Actually Fig and/or Plum wine is pretty good.

Hell, you can even alcohol with your butt.

Also, vagina beer. And vagina bread. Still wanna try some of that

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Apples naturally contain yeast, they'll literally turn to alcohol on their own if you give them time.

[–] joneskind@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It makes sense if you believe in science and stuff, but if you were a true Christian you would know that holly sweet Jesus of America turned water into wine, which has nothing to do with alcohol. It is His sacred blood that for some reason also tastes like old grape juice. Don’t judge me and make your own research.

Thoughts and prayers, libtard!

And that’s not even to mention all the psychoactive plants out there. The Earth makes many a mind-altering substance without the help of man.
