Me: I'm quite secure in my sexuality.

Also me, after 11 vodkas:

11 vodkas is... a lot of vodkas.

If we are talking shots (and I am), then that's 45*11 about 500ml of vodka. Back in my drinking days (I've been sober for almost 2 years) that was "A solid start." And if I got that deep, I was sure to finish the rest of the 750 ml bottle just for the fuck of it, and probably have some sambuca or jungle juice, to finish up, and I probably would have started with at least two pints of beer. By then it would be kebab-o'clock.

Good to hear those days are over.
It's hard enough for me to beat my "3 beers after work" addiction.

Like "almost a whole fifth" lot of vodka.

kautau@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Well if 11 vodkas is almost 1/5 of vodka, then 12 vodkas must be 1/5 of vodka, so I can only assume that 60 vodkas is 1 vodka

So one vodka is actually a gallon of vodka, that dude would be dead is he drank 11 vodkas /s

I love being reminded that even things we don't think of as cultural practices, like kissing or holding hands, are still culturally mediated.

I snort-laughed.

When the Soviets and the Americans reached each other, that meant that there were no more Nazis left in between and if I were in that situation I think I would be kissing anyone and everyone.

superkret@feddit.org · 6 pts · 1y

Except for Nazis, of course.

Yes, yes, totally. Only unknowing common people where left, that may or may not wondered why it was raining ashes

ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 1y

They wouldn't be shooting at you, which is a big deal.
