EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A WHITE WHALE INTO THE PEQUOD. IT'S HELL'S HEART AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I STRIKE AT THEE ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, ISHMAEL.
Not an SA quote that I can tell, but:

quote:

A reformed Eurocommunist post-Marxist New Leftist Frankfurt School professor and social democrat was teaching a class on Nikita Khrushchev, known revisionist.

"Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Leon Trotsky as the most class conscious revolutionary of all time and accept the Fourth International as the only legitimate representative of the interests of the workers of the world!"

At this moment a brave, revolutionary, unreformed Stalinist NKVD veteran who had an appreciation for socialist realist art and read a chapter of Capital every night before going to sleep stood up and waved the red flag.

"If Trotsky was so great, why wasn't the revolution permanent?"

The arrogant professor smirked quite bourgeoisly and smugly replied, "Because the Soviet Union was a deformed workers state, you idiot gerontocrat!"

"Wrong. Comrade Stalin purged Russia of the kulaks and all enemies of the workers. If your theory of revolution was correct, we would have achieved communism by now."

The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of A People's History of the United States. He stormed out of the room crying those social-fascist crocodile tears. There is no doubt that at this point our professor, Noam Chomsky, wished he had adopted the policies of the Third Period and become more than an infantile leftist bourgeois stooge. He wished so much that he had not betrayed the revolution, but he himself had sold it out!

The students applauded and all sang the State Anthem of the USSR and accepted Socialism in One Country as the best path forward for proletarian cause. An eagle named "Slavoj Zizek" flew into the room and perched atop a copy of "Pravda" and sniffed snot onto its print. The last sentence of the "The Communist Manifesto" was read several times, and Sergei Eisenstein himself showed up and demonstrated how to roll a baby down the Odessa steps.

The professor lost his tenure and was taken out back and shot the next day. He loved Big Brother.

The student's name? Lavrentiy Beria.

Your body has trouble processing hallucinogenics like peyote and certain types of mushrooms, so your urine can contain a surprising amount of active chemicals. You could theoretically drink your own peyote piss and continue tripping for awhile, but it's pretty inefficient and new peyote isn't that expensive, so I dont think it happens very much.

Back in the day when pharmacies started tracking ephedrine pill purchases and precursor materials for meth become incredibly scarce there was a period of time when methheads would save their piss and distill any leftover ephedra though.

my favorite US one was the nuclear powered airplane



these were the reactors (to replace the engines), they're like 20 feet tall

Sagebrush posted:

worth noting that part of the reason they're so big is water-cooling and radiation shielding, neither of which would have been used in the airborne version (weight)

in the air the reactors would have been cooled by the high speed air, and instead of conventional shielding, you'd just leave the reactors open and put a lead plate in the back of the cockpit so that no crew member had a line of sight to the reactor core. yeah you're irradiating the gently caress out of everything around you but it's miles away from the ground so any given area underneath the plane only gets a pretty small dose. obviously you couldn't 'use these engines on takeoff because it would kill all the ground crew, so iirc the planes would have been launched with rockets or disposable turbine packs and the reactors made critical in midair.

i don't know how they planned to safely recover these now-highly-radioactive planes, since the neutron flux would have turned every piece of the airframe into low-level nuclear waste, but it was kind of moot point bc the mission plan for these things iirc was to launch with their atom bombs in the event of a nuclear exchange and then spend days or weeks orbiting the north pole waiting for the russians to come up for air, at which point they would bomb the survivors and presumably lawn-dart into the kremlin because there's nothing left in the usa to come home to

Fabricated posted:

My favorite description of those planes came from here when someone described Nixon's cold war plans as being "Sending planes piloted by screaming radioactive skeletons to irradiate your countryside"
