upon scouring the internet, the only reference I can find to Russian horse ash vases is this meme. I don't think this is real

[–] nawa@lemmy.world 41 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It's not real. The kind of chocolate used in these is just shit. Source: a former child who had to eat those.

[–] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

That moment when your relatives or family friends gift you Russian chocolate candy like it's a special treat but you just really don't want to put it in your mouth

[–] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

could you find me a link for something that talks about this awful Russian chocolate? cuz I couldn't find that either

[–] nawa@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I guess I can give you a link to how it looks packaged https://images.app.goo.gl/xAAtahXj3H6KYqtx5

It can also be St Claus (Grandfather Frost in Russia) or a bear

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I feel like the biggest give away is that you'd notice pretty quickly whether or not something is chocolate. The fact that this guy ate cremated ashes and STILL assumed it was chocolate is unbelievable.

Even after covid?

[–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

not if your a dark chocolate liker B)

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 months ago

you need to eat better chocolate, normal dark chocolate tastes fine if a little bitter.

[–] JizzmasterD@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 months ago

I searched all my cupboards for Russian chocolate. It is all crumbly and objectively terrible/an acquired taste.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Could be real, can't be too sure, gotta double check.

As an expert on equine burials in the pacific, I’d like to weigh in. Ocean burials make up the overwhelming majority of pacific horse funerals, but there have been notable advances in stratospheric inurnment in recent years.

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

what about the ash vase chocolate thing?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 months ago (3 children)

You’re right, I got a bit ahead of myself. Allow me to clarify. In general, the wind in Russia moves from east to west, which is a consideration in both air travel and windmill construction. However, helicopters are among the least impacted aircraft due to their free-form movement and large, stable propellers. Takeoff and landing can both occur within a relatively small area even in unfavorable conditions. I hope that answers any lingering questions.

[–] Alk@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I love you.

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

yes, that answers everything. thank you

If I look at the ceiling will you steal my lungs?

I put a can of Guinness into the fridge today and noticed there is something solid rattling around in it. And now I'm scared to open it and find out what it is.

[–] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 26 points 4 months ago (2 children)
[–] norimee@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hey thank you!! I really had no idea.

[–] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 4 months ago

Lol nw! I was surprised too when I first bought the cans in college.

[–] drosophila@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That article seems ai generated.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 months ago

it's either AI generated or written by someone who has to meet a minimum word quota and desperately wishes for another job

If you’re not joking, it’s the widget. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widget_(beer)

It's just the foam bullshit thing, you're good

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's what the CIA wants you to think! It's actually a kinder surprise.

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

That would be no problem either since I'm not in the US. I'm perfectly allowed to swallow and choke on a little toys...

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Uh how is a vase chewable in any way?

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's made of horse ashes. I'd think it would melt in your mouth and taste bitter.

They probably thought it was stale dark chocolate

Or maybe this is made up

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Or maybe this is made up

Nuh uh.

Rest In Pieces inside that man's mouth

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Yumm, cremated horsecock.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Its probably not very strong because of the materials used.

[–] lemmingnosis@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

? horses are very strong, like 1HP+

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but it was a miniature horse: -1 CON, +2 DEX

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

isn't it a nightmare? it's dark and was at least made with a lot of heat, so it's stats would be a bit higher, i think something like: -1 CON(+2 against fire), +3DEX, +1STR, +2WIS

what do you think?

[–] sep@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

More like 14HP. Many humans can produce 1HP

[–] KarfiolosHus@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Somebody has that reaction meme at the end?
