Does your girlfriend? Maybe in her... other mouth? :V
Jesus Christ almighty why would anybody do that. Mint mouthwash has mint in it. Mint, the plant that is famous for containing a somewhat numbing but also very much stinging neurotoxin that specifically affects mucous membranes.

Was playing Kerbal Space Program, and I discovered that time warp can confuse the game's physics engine in certain situations. It seems that a craft landing on the ground at speeds well within tolerance will think it's going 4x faster at 4x warp, and be destroyed just as messily as if it were going 12 m/s at a comfortable 3 m/s. I'm trying to think of a way to abuse this for my benefit, though more testing is needed to confirm that that's actually what's happening, and if it happens at other time accelerations.

Summer has started for reals. Cue people honking their horns in traffic for no reason, hanging out their windows shouting at pedestrians as they drive by and a general increase in hostility.

Oh and the flashing. Don't forget the flashing.

Actually, it contains artificial mint flavoring:

Especially telling is the fact that in 1992, Listerine — the originator of the fresh breath idea, but with menthol, not mint — introduced a mint flavor of mouthwash. Put simply, we like the idea of mint more than menthol.

But what makes this really interesting is that the mouthwash, like many mint products, still produces the cooling sensation through menthol, and the mint taste wholly through artificial flavoring. In other words, it contains no mint oil.

But menthol is the neurotoxin I'm talking about.

Menthol is not neurotoxic. It's a mild analgesic - but so is aspirin, and produces the sensation by stimulating a receptor. Like sugar, or, you know... LITERALLY EVERYTHING.

For when you want to be minty fresh for your partner, of course! :v


Heat induced erections, apparently. To clarify, I don't actually believe that's a thing. No way.

Specifically, I believe it was increased-smells-of-others-induced erections. Which I have a bit less trouble believing exist.

Otherwise, hotness is definitely my number one boner inducer, really.

Are you fully up to date? I thought they fixed that particular issue a long time ago (parachutes stay on when you deploy them while time compressed, for example), although TC does still simplify the physics (causing things to flex badly if you have a complex ship.

Well this is the thread for weird things. Or at least unusual.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Really? All at once.

Closest I've been was when I went crazy and killed a few folks. The mix of pure Joy and Rage was exhilarating.
