The post is pretty transparently intended as a joke using wordplay.

I did something similar on a long backpacking trip. I brought olive oil in a plastic bottle which I had chopped some small peppers into so I could add fat/ calories/flavor to backpacking food. On day eight, two days before we were hiking out, I was out of trail snacks, so I finished off the plastic bottle of oil because I was super hungry. It had about 200ml of oil in it I would say, so I just drank it, figuring what the hell, I need some calories.

I had stomach cramps so bad I couldn't walk, I had to lie down. My backpacking partner had to put up my hammock for me, and after lying there in excruciating pain for about 90min, I then shit everything out of my stomach and bowels, which also hurt. Felt a little better but still had bad cramps. All in all, probably three hours of misery. We lost a whole afternoon of hiking, basically by the time I was ok again, we got about 2mi down trail for a better camp spot and just called it a day.

10/10 would recommend.

AFAIK, peer reviewers are typically other academics in the field (peers) that are asked to voluntarily review a given article. The publisher doesn't pay peer reviewers.

Vegans use silly insults "out of a profound concern for animals...At social events, [they] sometimes gave graphic accounts of the slaughter of animals in an effort to make...dinner guests shun meat."

Edit: oh whoops, no, that was Hitler. My bad.

Thanks for the Snopes link, that gave some more context. I still can't believe no one figured out who she and the others are. It's just mind boggling to me, maybe because she's young-ish, that no one was like oh my god is that Sharon??

I mean, that someone can live and do whatever they do, show up to this event with no mask and do this, and then go back to living a normal life is crazy to me. People lose their jobs for saying something racist on camera, and this person is full nazi-ing it up seemingly with no social consequences.

Yes, that's a fair point. Though, there are other materials that might be explored (types of metal perhaps?) for those that would prefer a non-plastic version.

The reason some might be concerned is that when "food-grade" plastics, like the polypropylene used by aeropress, are used and "exposed to hot water, they release trillions of nanoparticles per liter into the water."

The slight pressurization and the friction of the rubber plunger likely amplifies that result.

Ah, thanks for the info.

Alcohol is very heavily regulated, starting from creation, through transport and conditions of sale, to how, where, and when it is consumed, and what can legally be done after consuming it.

There is a lot of licensing and legal regulation surrounding bars and alcohol-sales businesses. I think you're confusing regulation and prohibition.
