Aphex Twin and Die Antwoord are not related like, at all. I saw an Aphex Twin video on MTV when I was young and a picture of the woman from Die Antwoord much later, and somehow forever linked them in my mind.

Also it’s Die Antwoord not Die Antwood.

The page where Moloch calls the cops to tell them he knows where "Raw Shark" is is immediately followed by a Tales of the Black Freighter page with the shark eating the corpse raft.

Swallow a sip of a carbonated beverage.
Immediately throw your head back, open your mouth wide, and hold the tip of your tongue up high far behind your front teeth.
Through the miracle of salivary glands, you can pretend that you're the dinosaur that blinded Wayne Knight in Jurassic Park.

Admittedly something I figured out as a child, but still fun to do as a fully grown adult.

EDIT:
Turn your head if you try it while reading this post.
Don't get spit all over your monitor.

This is called gleeking (gleaking?) and some people can do it on command sans soda. One of my friends can shoot like 6 feet or more.

Neat, I just learned something new!

Wikipedia posted:

In general, gleeking occurs when an accumulation of saliva in the sublingual gland is propelled out in a stream when the gland is compressed by the tongue. The stream of saliva is released in the general direction of the front of the mouth. If the mouth is open the jet may project several feet.[4]
Gleeking may occur spontaneously due to accidental tongue pressure on the sublingual gland while talking, eating, yawning, or cleaning the teeth. Gleeking can also be induced, for instance, by pressing the underside of the tongue upwards against the palate, then pushing the tongue forward while simultaneously moving the jaw slightly forward; or by yawning deeply and pressing the tongue against the palate.

There is a lot of cool information about this, and I'm excited that I now know its name.
Thank you, Imperador do Brasil.

I learned I could do this in high school. It went over about as well as you could imagine, but I my school years we’re about trying to gross people out. It worked best for me with Mug/Barq’s canned root beer.

And I figured out I can do this in 8th grade when I spent a whole science class getting gleaked on by the 2 bullies in back of me. I had to learn how to do it back.

It's probably the slight acidity in most sodas that causes extra spit production in your case

Another fun thing: Put your earpods in your nostrils and make as if to yawn (takes a bit of practice but once you've got it, it's not hard). This opens your eustachian tubes and the music will now sound like it comes from inside your head.

Swallowing also works. It's basically the same thing as what happens when you align pressure in an airplane.

We called it “gleeting” and I haven’t heard anyone mention it in like 20 years. But I do it by pressing my tongue against the bottoms of my top molars, no soda required.

Also I stuck my earbuds up my nose for no reason, thanks.

I had a conversation with a physiology researcher on twitter about that, where my position was the same as yours. I asked in TFR about it, because there's lots of people there who are very careful with their hearing due to their chosen hobby, and most of them just replied "yeah I can do that, it's normal, right?". The researcher I spoke to was very surprised that more people could do it, and then we dug up some research stating that it can assist with eustachian tube abnormalities that need more pressure relieving than normal.

I think that was the same thread where I learned that tightening up ear muscles to "brace yourself" for a loud noise is a real thing. I thought that it was completely a psychological thing that it seemed less loud when I was prepared for someone to hammer in a a nail instead of when it surprised me, but it turns out that ears are pretty complicated.

It just kinda hit me the other day, but I realized that we're probably going to see remakes of the Harry Potter movies in our lifetimes. We'll also see the copyright on Mickey Mouse run out, which is also weird. But I think that's only classic Mickey, not any modern version. I'm not sure how that works.
