I feel like it can't be as good as having dedicated tools but it seems like it's going to allow me to do simple stuff that doesn't need a lot of precision (I'd like to get back into building bird houses and stuff like that.)

if you cover you dick in ants and start looking at porn, they will gladly eat the pre-cum as it is generated. every single atom of pre-cum is instantly harvested by a thirsty little ant when it starts to be excreted from the cum chamber. once you get really horny and the passagewars to the cum sackules start to open they can smell the cum chamber in the balls below and they cant help themselves, theyll start making their way doiwn your dick and into the balls for their feast. its like a door buster sale on dead or alive video games on black friday, tons of horny people desperate to get in and get their horn fill. theyre so desperately thirsty for cum. there is no feeling quite like a cavalcade of perfect, organized ants marching down the inside of your shaft and picking up cum molecules to carry back to their home. blasting a big load and shooting a bunch of ants out like turning on an old dirty hose is remarkable. ants in the kitchen. ants in the bed room. one time a guy told me that if you leave ants to do their business, like, eating some spilled sauce, if you let them do their thing they will clean it perfectlt and even remove their dead, leaving nothing behind put cleanliness. i like that. which is why my home is filled to the brim with ants, and collectible figurines.

Some of those concepts are only really stupid in hindsight, along with just good old "let's try this and see what happens! :munch:". At the time nuclear technology was this amazing new thing with seemingly limitless potential, and everyone was trying to figure out what it could be used for beyond a binary choice between vaporizing or powering a city.

Two nuke stories from that era that stick in my mind:
  1. Nuclear devices were mooted for use in the construction of a new Panama Canal.
  2. Dozens of small nukes were to be used to soften defenses on the Japanese mainland in advance of the anticipated American invasion. To avoid the effects of fallout, the Army was to wait 48 hours before passing through irradiated areas.

The only way to get huge fast is to insult a passing witch and hope she curses you with Beast-strength.


Waiting 48 hours would have been operationally viable. The soldiers would not receive immediately lethal doses of radiation and would not encounter strong resistance. The high Rad exposure levels would have been more problematic over the next few decades. I don’t know if the VA bills would have bankrupted the government long term or they just weren’t thinking that far ahead.

They'd probably just decide 'gently caress the troops' and let them waste away with lovely treatment. Thank God the real American government isn't that callous.
