How on earth would he look bad for beating up Bieber??
That's the sort of heroic act that might actually make up for being a member of one of the lamest cults on the planet.

It would look like an adult beating up a poorly behaved child. Deserved, but still mean and unnecessary. But you're right. Being at least compared to Bieber is going to make the whole Scientology thing seem not such a big deal.

You left out the best possibility: a fire breaks out and everyone involved ceases to be our problem.

I just saw an advertisement post pop up on Facebook. Some natural, green, raw, non-GMO, vegan, chakra-stabilized whatever healthy superfood... Then I looked closer.

It's a bag of bitter almond kernels. Literal poison. In a bag.


...Now for only $19.95!


EDIT: Just checked the seller's website. They also offer dietary supplements... $80 for a bottle of 500 capsules, 100mg of "the purest, highest quality" amygdalin in each.

Quick Google check says that adult lethal dose is between 50 and 300 mg.

Bitter almond isn't meant to be eaten like a bag of peanuts. In areas where it's legal, it's supposed to be a spice. But hey, anything can be a supplement if you slap "not verified by Organization X" on it.

Awesome, I'll have to order some for snacks at my doomsday cult's next meeting!

Win10 gives you the opportunity to use a PIN instead of a password. So that I ... am able to have a password only four characters long, if I so wish. What's the point of this, Microsoft? Why would you add an explicitly less secure way of logging into my computer?

If I were to eat these non-GMO bitter almond kernels as if they were peanuts, would I die an all-natural death?

[Tack]

Natural causes?

But this way, you can use the same PIN as your bank card, for twice the security!

Don't forget to put in the bulk order of Flavor Aid!

It sort of actually makes some amount of sense. If you have multiple devices using your MS account (like myself), you can hand people a PIN instead of your actual password that's used for the store and shit.

Google "Laetrile". Quacks have been pushing the crap as a cancer cure for over 60 years.

As mephisto said, bitter almonds aren't meant to be eaten by themselves. They are used for their distinctive flavor/aroma when making sweets, usually in the form of marzipan.

Along with escarotic salves and other horrors.

Hell, you could probably put draino into a medicine bottle, and it would sell.


(For food use)

A little goes a long way, and bitter almond oil in alcohol suspension is what "Almond extract" is.  But refined protein crystals that metabolize into hydrocyanic acid in your intestine is not something anyone should be taking.

In unrelated news, it started raining 5-6 mins ago.... Now it's raining so much I can hardly see the road 10 meters away from me. WTF summer?

edit: And now it stopped. Completely. "WTF summer"²
