Tide goes in, Aquaman comes out. You can't explain that.
Checkmate atheists.

I can't tell the difference between smoked and oven roasted meats...

Is that odd at all?

If it's genuinely smoked meat, then... yeah, that's odd. You gotta' do some hella' shenanigans to get oven roasted stuff to taste anything like actually smoked meat. Very, very different taste. Hell, generally even a pretty different texture. They produce foodstuffs as disparate as their cooking methodologies.

There's a potential exception for, like, pre-smoked or smoke flavored or whatever oven cooked stuff (which is probably already cooked, and just re-heated), but even then they tend to taste different, in my experience.

I notice, because frankly most smoked meats I've had taste kinda' nasty, t'me. And, well, I haven't exactly gotten exotic, but beef, pork, several kinds of fowl, probably some fish when I was younger... there's been a spread, including different kinds of smoke. People like to smoke meat for (relatively) big events in my area. Naturally, all those cooked in different ways, as well, including oven roasted (and grilled, and probably broiled and boiled and baked and fried and gods know what else. All the flesh searing. All of them.), so... comparisons, et al. Smoking does pretty unique stuff to flavor, all things considered, in my experience.

the nearest body of water is a kilometer away

it's a creek that at it's deepest is less than two meters

every drop of water that is used by either industry or households comes from an aquifer

while i'd love to see sharks popping out of the ground to fuck my shit up i must say checkmate, atheist

It is canon that Aquaman can hold a building, with a bit of effort, and that he is bulletproof. He's basically Superman that traded flight and eye beams for the abilities to MAKE SWORDS OUT OF MOISTURE IN THE AIR and MIND CONTROL EFFING CTHULHU and THE WEAPON OF A GOD. Checkmate.

but can he see why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch

[Frumple]

Yes. He can. As can anyone not being paid to be an idiot. It's called sugar and cinnamon. Checkmate, theists. The mystery is solved. Your god is a lie.

I'm trying to recover from dangerous levels of Zdzisław Beksiński exposure. It's equal parts 'wow', 'WTF' and 'JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!'.

Funny thing is, it's not even that he had any ideology behind the art, he just came up with stuff like that and went on with it.

I am just going with wow.

Right, so it apparently put my mind in a very weird place. I've started up my guitar and the results of the improv were pretty, uh, let's go with 'marketable as experimental'.

[Eotyrannus]

Yes. He can. As can anyone not being paid to be an idiot. It's called sugar and cinnamon. Checkmate, theists. The mystery is solved. Your god is a lie.

Not quite a lie, he just stopped existing at the moment he said that Batman would beat Aquaman in a fight.

[majikero]

No, you must replace all instances of the word "Batman" with the phrase "man dressed as a bat".

FORGIVE MY SINS

[Dutchling]

Wow that crazy guy's books/posters are cheap and no shipping costs :3

also: I can't believe this is real

[Kadzar]

Dutchling, why are you pretending to be a spambot?

Edit: And now you ruined it with your Youtube link. Either go full spambot mode or don't bother.

[Dutchling]

But it's true and I want it Dx
