Depends on where you’re from and what the regulations are, might have been just non-denatured high% vodka essentially. As so much was needed regulations weren’t the strictest everywhere.

Anyway, I’m not gonna believe you before I see you take a mouthful of 80% alc and swirl it around your mouth and smack smack smack mmm. Without making any sort of sour face.

Because if you do, then that’s actually medically concerning, because that’s a poison and we have systems in our bodies to make us not ingest poisons easily. As in, that’s why we can taste bitter. Alcohol isn’t bitter per se but it’s a volatile solvent, and at those percentages it’s just not in anything way a taste. It’s a sensation.

I may be wrong, but I don’t believe you. You also say you don’t "really drink, so I’m thinking a younger person who’s had a small hit and enjoyed the aftereffects and can’t now discern them.

When you talk about “ethanol for disinfection”, do you mean denatured alcohol? Because if so, I believe you even less.

Yeah I’m not gonna believe this before I see you drinking 80% alcohol without making a sour face.

Well it’s essentially just herbal opioids, so yeah, it will make you dependent then you can ease that dependence by getting even a harder dependence from like Oxy or fentanyl.

Again, it would be about the volume, not just having music in a helmet.

2000s were the peak crossroads of old and modern life and its fun to look back

FYI in ten years kids will be saying the exact same thing about the 2010’s, just like they did 10 years ago with the 90’s and for my gen it was the 80’s-70’s.

I mean, it’s not necessary, but neither are HD resolutions or high framerates.

It has seemed every beautiful in some things.

It’s not necessary, but like, lots of things aren’t. The tech in itself isn’t horrible, it’s just horrible usecases which make it bad. Even if most usecases are horrible. Some aren’t.

Edit for instance we have much the same power computers with my brother, aside from me having an outdated GPU. Last year when we played HP Legacy for a bit, I would say that his was far prettier when utilising Ray tracing, and the whole game is a sort of feast of aesthetics, so. Although his rig wasn’t potent enough to have great framerates, so playing was still better for him as well without Ray tracing. But the scenery without much action still had good framerares so we saw rhe difference. Idk perhaps it will never be good but

“Well the metric version is”

Oh, so you’re just reconfirming you don’t speak English. Ok. Best of luck, we can try again in a few years. I can link you some Simple English channels if you’d like?

And you’re wrong.

Just because some niche unit uses metric prefixes doesn’t mean that that unit is “in the metric system” as language is used.

Learn to use language pls.

Weird how when you open that “metric system” link your pedantry is nowhere to be seen, almost as if by and large “metric” refers to the SI-system, isn’t it? Oh I’m sorry, you can’t answer that with “yes”, because it would mean that you stop pretending like you don’t know what I mean, which you simply can’t do.

Lol, you’re the one who’s arguing youre right, despite me clearly stressing that I know that if we’re superanal pedants you could technically make the argument that “metric system” can also refer to non-SI units which use decimal prefixes.

That a lone doesn’t mean you we’re right. See that “metric system” link there? Give it a click, would you, and then rethink on who’s being pedantic.

You haven’t told me anything interesting. I’m well aware of things like the attempt of France to change the time to powers a decimal system as well. They didn’t. Time is still in SI-units and that system is colloquially known as THE METRIC SYSTEM.

Like I said, you’re not exactly wrong, per se. (But you definitely are now, being such an annoying pedant while ignoring the very simple points I made.)

So you’re just gonna ignore everything that’s not inline with what you’re saying? Yawn. Perhaps try rereading my comments.

I’m sorry but you’re using that term wrong. You mean a de jure porn ban.

A de facto porn ban would mean that you actually couldn’t get any. And that’s just ridiculous.

Like drugs are illegal de jure, but de facto getting weed pretty much anywhere in the world is not a challenge. Usually even easier than getting alcohol as an underage person. Not that I have experience of that in the past few decades (being underage that is).

I mean I guess it’s “de facto” in sofar that it’s not exactly presciptively de jure illegal when it’s done like that. So in that sense you are right to use it like that, but eh. I disagree with who I was when I started writing this. No matter we’re on lemmy.

Automakers using a unit doesn’t make it metric.

Colloquially “metric” means the SI-system though. It’s not all prescriptively correct terms. Hell, even the name isn’t, as the French and English couldn’t

So I’m not goanna say your wrong per se. But you’re not exactly right either

What are you on about? The metric unit for power is the Watt
