taking part in a lot more autopsies this year, and it's mildly concerning how many abnormalities are compared to foods
like i'm sorry, but whoever looked at old, putrid, brown blood-filled sacs in ovaries and said "mm yes i shall name you chocolate cysts" should never be allowed near any ovaries or other pieces of female anatomy ever again

Cooking question I'm too embarrassed to ask someone IRL: how easy or hard is it to accidentally poison yourself?
I know not to eat things that are too old (past the best-by date, changed color etc), I know not to eat things that were burned. I know to be careful about handling raw meat. I know how to store leftovers. I know to pay attention to instructions on the package and to check if the package is damaged etc.
But at the same time... well, a lot of cooking advice I've seen over the years includes some variation of "try things out, see what you like!" and I'd kind of like to do that. But if the results turn out inedible, I'd like them to be "inedible" as in "tastes very bad" and not "inedible" as in "going to upset your stomach" or "send you to the hospital"
If I try to cook/bake/roast/fry/whatever a food that can be eaten raw, like fruit, what are the odds that the result will be safe to eat?
What about lettuce? I'm aware it would probably taste bad, but would it be safe to try?
If I mix random liquid-y things from my pantry to make a sauce for whatever vegetables&meat I'm frying, what are the odds the result would be safe to eat? (Assuming all the components are edible by themself, I'm NOT talking about cleaning solutions or dish soap or whatever)
What might be some questions I don't even know I should check?
If I try to cook/bake/roast/fry/whatever a food that can be eaten raw, like fruit, what are the odds that the result will be safe to eat? If I mix random liquid-y things from my pantry to make a sauce for whatever vegetables&meat I'm frying, what are the odds the result would be safe to eat?
100% safe. There is a ZERO (0%) percent chance of accidentally creating a poison when cooking a safe-to-eat-raw food item.
You're not going to accidentally create a poison when you mix spices, sauces, or various edible ingredients together.
It's just not how chemistry works. With no exception I can think of, you can't take one safe-to-eat plant or animal and cook it or mix it with another in a way that will create a toxic substance.
Cooking lettuce to eat is safe. Cooking whole fruit is safe. Mixing a hundred sauces together is safe. Go for it.
I could take a sample of every single individually edible item in my fridge, pantry, and spice cabinet, blend it all into a big slurry, cook it & eat a portion of that concoction with confidence that I won't die from it. While it may be gross and taste bad, it won't actually harm me. It won't be a poison, no matter how many different types of food ingredients are tossed into the pot.
I cannot guarantee that you will never upset your stomach, because you could be sensitive to or allergic to an ingredient that I don't know about. It's not a poison to all humans, but it'd be uncomfortable to you. You can only learn about that through experience.
What CAN be dangerous:
Improper sterilization and improper technique can accidentally leave poison-producing bacteria or mold to breed when canning or fermenting foods.
Eating large amounts of a couple specific foods can be risky. There's not a lot of these, so here's a list of the big names to keep an eye on:
Cassia (common) cinnamon has a chemical that is toxic in larger quantities, but harmless in small quantities. If you eat 2 teaspoons a day, every day, you'll run into trouble. If you use Ceylon cinnamon instead, you can eat pretty much as much as you want.
Don't eat a whole nutmeg. It's wonderful when used sparingly, but can be poisonous in large amounts. Same rule as Cassia cinnamon: 2 teaspoons a day, every day, will get you into trouble. Eat less or less often.
Eating too much Liver (the organ) can cause copper toxicity and Vitamin A toxicity. It's great for you when added to a meal once a week, or a couple times a month, but shouldn't be eaten daily or in huge amounts.
Don't swallow cherry pits. They're generally harmless when swallowed whole, because they pass through digestion unscathed, but if they're crushed or cracked open first they release a compound that turns into cyanide when digested. Our body handles cyanide pretty well, but 4-5 cracked pits can become harmful. So: Don't chew them, and don't swallow them on purpose.
There are some foods which need special preparation to be made safe. They're safe COOKED, but not RAW.
Cooked beans & legumes are safe to eat. But if you're starting from a totally DRY bean or lentil (canned are pre-cooked) make sure to soak them in water for several hours and boil until they're FULLY COOKED before you eat. (Fully cooked is when you can crush them easily with a fork, with no gritty or hard center) Undercooked or uncooked beans & legumes can fuck up your guts real good. Very painful, horribly unpleasant, but probably won't kill you.
Cassava (the root vegetable that tapioca is made from) MUST be thoroughly cooked before eating. Raw cassava can be toxic. It's another cyanide bro.
Don't eat raw potatoes - always cook them. If your potatoes have sprouted, don't eat the sprouts & peel any green skin off. Tbh tho, an adult would need to eat at least a pound of green potatoes to get sick. Be reasonably cautious about it. Don't feed green potatoes to small children.
--
Note: This advice is intended for someone who shops at a grocery for their food, not someone who is foraging for ingredients or is growing their own. There's a lot more opportunities to poison yourself when working with whole plants in the wild, and not the prepared-for-sale ones at a store.

Do you have any general dating headcannons about Jack?
If that's too vague then maybe Jack dating someone who knows a lot about the supernatural. Like they're oddly chill about him being a demon and sometimes even give him tips about his diet of something like that.
I HAVE SO MANY DATING HCS FOR JACK I THINK ABOUT HIM ALL THE TIME. I LOVE EYELESS JACK A NORMAL AND SANE AMOUNT
General EJ Dating Hcs
• He doesn’t sleep, or he doesn’t really need to. It creates problems, because he will just sit there and stare at you while you try to sleep. He won’t move or speak or get up. He will just stare. And then he gets hungry after a while so he leaves.
• Absolutely miserable to sleep with if it’s winter. He is so fucking cold. He’s so cold he doesn’t feel hot when summer rolls around. The hoodie and jeans are a year round wardrobe for him. People look at him like he’s more of a freak than usual when they see him wearing heavy jackets in 102 degree weather.
• He smiles so wide. I am of the opinion he has a bunch of fucking teeth so when you make him laugh or smile he grins so big!!!!! He’s a great smiler
• Insufferably sore loser. He hates losing in any facet of life. He goes through multiple stages of grief before he’s just pissed the fuck off and he goes to your room (not even his fucking own he likes yours better) and locks you out and sits there for an indefinite amount of time. He might steal something out of there and you can hear him bitching to himself
• Cooks things with a ridiculous amount of seasonings. He doesn’t fucking care. Let him cook you someone’s livers with lemon pepper and juice and garlic salt and meat tenderizer and spices and nutmeg and chili powder and lime and basil and popcorn salt. The kitchen is fucking insane when he’s in it. But he’s cooking with love and human organs please accept it
• He shows affection in a very odd way. Pulls you in close by your shirt sleeve or jacket strings or belt loops or scarf or whatever. Just wants to feel you close to him sometimes.
• Super flexible. Wants to freak you out. Let him spider walk to your room. He is going to climb on the ceiling in the middle of the night. You can hear his bones. His back bends in ways that are wrong. He’s fucked up
• I think he smells like weed and copper. He’s killed in all of his clothes so they all smell like metal or they’re very stained. And I am a firm believer he smokes weed with Clockwork and Hoodie and sometimes Jeff after a job well done. So he comes home really high and covered in blood sometimes but it’s okay don’t worry about it. It’s cool. He might not even come home until the day after so he can avoid worrying you or you seeing him in that state
• Fucked up tangled hair. Always covers it up with his hood and it’s frizzed up and the ends are split and it’s mangled with blood and there’s miscellaneous substances sticking to it. And he just never puts in the effort to fix it. So he will often just get you to brush it for him and then he’ll get angry that it hurts. And it’s like what the fuck did you expect Jack? But he always greatly appreciates your help
• It’s likely that he gives you his clothes if he doesn’t want them/can’t fit them anymore. I’m not sure how desirable a hoodie that smells of cannabis and blood is tho but if you like it he wants you to have it
• Freakishly Tall. How’s the fuckin weather up there cocksucker? He could lift you all the way up to the goddamn Eiffel Tower. That’s why he has to lean down so his head doesn’t hit most ceilings and shower heads are taller than him so he has to sit down to take baths
• If you weren’t scared of him upon first meeting him (aka he tried to kill you), he would probably think that’s a huge fucking mood killer. “Really? You’re not scared? Kinda killing my vibe here, man… you’re not even gonna scream?”
• He’s downcasted. Dejected. Is he not scary anymore? Is that the problem? Are you just a freak? Do demonic, cannibalistic creatures frequent your room often? What the fuck are you just standing there for?
• He needs to find out what the fuck is wrong you. Which is why he’s going to stay in your house and pace around your kitchen. Stop trying to offer him food and advice on how to wash the blood off his clothes. Stop being yourself!!!!! Get away from him!!!!!!
• So fast forward to now and uh. He would kill for you. Like and subscribe for that
• Evil fucked up creature boyfriend.

౨౿ seventh-year gryffindor nicholas chavez who couldn’t stop staring across the aisle at you .. . and finally joins you — you sat alone in a compartment, peering eagerly out the window, drawing hearts and other shapes onto the foggy glass — with an assortment of snacks he’d snatched from the snack-trolley. as he settled down across from you, you took him in .. studying him; messy, fluffy chestnut hair, bright brown eyes that reflected the autumn scenery, gryffindor sweater, and burgundy-framed spectacles to match. the way he introduced himself; speaking in such a soft tone and allowing you to get comfortable with him, made him even handsomer. you shifted in your seat, straightening your posture.
Tumblr media
౨౿ seventh-year gryffindor nicholas chavez who offers you a pumpkin pasty. the savory pastry was a staple in the hogwarts snack lineup. flaky golden crusts encased a warm, spiced pumpkin filling, mixed with hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. the aroma wafted through the compartment
Tumblr media
౨౿ seventh-year gryffindor nicholas chavez who lets you choose between four packages. a favorite among students, chocolate frogs are not only delicious but also come with collectible cards featuring famous witches and wizards. each frog is made of rich, creamy chocolate, molded into a frog shape, and each one is enchanted to hop around briefly before settling down — nicholas quickly caught your chocolate frog before it could leap onto the floor.
you thanked him and took a bite out of your chocolate frog, watching him roll up the sleeves of his deep red and golden yellow sweater. “which witch or wizard did you get?” he asked gently, leaning over a tad.
british wizard, who in 1967 founded the nimbus racing broom company, considered to be the top of the field. “devlin whitelorn,” you said through heavy chocolate chews. “how ‘bout you?”
“bridget wenlock.” a famous thirteenth-century english witch and arithmancer, and the first to establish the magical properties of the number seven.
Tumblr media
౨౿ seventh-year gryffindor nicholas chavez who shakes a box of bertie bott’s every flavor beans — these magical jelly beans are infamous for their unpredictability. with flavors ranging from the delightful — such as buttered popcorn, strawberry, and chocolate — to the downright disgusting — like liver, earwax, dirt, and vomit — bertie bott’s beans offer a risky yet exciting snack experience. the challenge of sampling the various flavors is a favorite pastime, with many daring their friends to try the more dubious flavors.
“you first.” nicholas presented the open-box of jelly beans and you shook your head — not daring to take a chance and upset your tastebuds.
Tumblr media
౨౿ seventh-year gryffindor nicholas chavez who absolutely loved fizzing whizzbees — these candies are known for the fizzy, popping sensation as they dissolve in the mouth. they resemble small, colorful balls and give off a fruity flavor that explodes with each bite. “it-it’s .. l-like .. . f-fireworks,” nicholas muttered, struggling to get his words out from the rapid bursting buzz, “in your mouth.” precisely.
finishing your one, you reached in and grabbed a red-candy from his open palm — red had been his favorite flavor, but he didn’t mind you taking it for yourself.

Essential oils toxic to birds
Birds are highly sensitive to many substances, including essential oils. The respiratory system of birds is delicate, and certain essential oils can be toxic to them, even in small amounts.
Here is a list of essential oils that are generally considered toxic to birds:
Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca oil)
Eucalyptus Oil
Peppermint Oil
Cinnamon Oil
Clove Oil
Thyme Oil
Wintergreen Oil
Pine Oil
Citrus Oil (Lemon, Orange, Grapefruit)
Lemon Grass Oil
Oregano Oil
Ylang Ylang Oil
Bergamot Oil
Sweet Birch Oil
Garlic Oil
Garlic Extract
Onion Oil
Onion Extract
Nutmeg Oil
Anise Oil
Juniper Oil
Mustard Oil
Citronella Oil
Bay Leaf Oil
Cassia Oil
Cajeput Oil
Geranium Oil
Birds have unique respiratory systems and are highly sensitive to airborne substances. Inhalation of these oils, even in small amounts, can cause respiratory distress, neurological problems, liver damage, and other serious health issues for birds.
It's crucial to avoid using these essential oils around birds or in areas where they reside. Ensure good ventilation in the bird's environment and be cautious about any scented products that may contain these oils. If you suspect your bird has been exposed to a toxic essential oil or is showing signs of illness, it's important to contact an avian veterinarian as soon as possible for guidance and treatment.

OK so.
I made myself a cup of nutmeg and cinnamon tea and also a cup of lavender and lemon tea.
Nutmeg in short quantities tastes awesome, in high quantities it can be toxic, and if you get a specific quantity it jas hallucinogenic effects. Lavender helps clear the liver.
So now everything is really bright 4 some reason and I'm going to the toilet every 3 to 5 seconds.
What I do for witchcraft is insane

REGIONAL SPECIALITIES
Tumblr media
Despite recent setbacks beef is still big industry in England, and the Scottish Aberdeen Angus is one of our most famous beef-producing breeds. Dairy cattle are also farmed extensively -- England is famous for its creams and butters and for its sturdy and delicious cheeses: Stilton, Cheshire and its rare cousin blue Cheshire, double Gloucester, red Leicester, sage Derby, and of course cheddar.
Some of our more interesting dishes include:-
Beefsteak, Oyster, and Kidney Pudding: Oysters may seem unlikely in this meat pudding, but their great abundance in the Victorian age and earlier eras inspired cooks to find ways to incorporate them creatively in many different recipes. This steamed pudding combines the meats with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and Worcestershire, then wraps the whole in a suet pastry.
Black Pudding: invented in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis black pudding is often served as part of a traditional full English breakfast.
Black Pudding Recipe
Cock-a-Leekie : This Scottish specialty can be classified as a soup or a stew. It combines beef, chicken, leeks, and prunes to unusual and spectacular ends.
Crown Roast Lamb: The crown roast encircles a stuffing of apples, bread crumbs, onion, celery, and lemon.
Eccles Cake : Puff pastry stuffed with a spicy currant filling.
Hasty Pudding: A simple and quick (thus the name) steamed pudding of milk, flour, butter, eggs, and cinnamon.
Irish Stew: An Irish stew always has a common base of lamb, potatoes, and onion. It could contain any number of other ingredients, depending on the cook.
Likky Pie Leeks: pork, and cream baked in puff pastry.
Mincemeat: Beef suet is used to bind chopped nuts, apples, spices, brown sugar, and brandy into a filling for pies or pasties - not to be confused with minced meat!.
Mulligatawny Soup: What this soup is depends on who is cooking it. Originally a south Indian dish (the name means pepper water in tamil), it has been adopted and extensively adapted by the British. Mullitgatawny contains chicken or meat or vegetable stock mixed with yogurt or cheese or coconut milk and is seasoned with curry and various other spices. It is sometimes served with a separate bowl of rice.
Syllabub: In the seventeenth century, a milkmaid would send a stream of new, warm milk directly from a cow into a bowl of spiced cider or ale. A light curd would form on top with a lovely whey underneath. This, according to Elizabeth David, was the original syllabub. Today's syllabub is more solid (its origins can also be traced to the seventeenth century, albeit to the upper classes) and mixes sherry and/or brandy, sugar, lemon, nutmeg, and double cream into a custard-like dessert or an eggnog-like beverage, depending upon the cook.
Trifle: Layers of alcohol-soaked sponge cake alternate with fruit, custard and whipped cream, some people add jelly, but that's for kids.
Welsh Faggots: Pig's liver is made into meatballs with onion, beef suet, bread crumbs, and sometimes a chopped apple. Faggots used to be made to use up the odd parts of a pig after it had been slaughtered.
Welsh Rabbit (or Rarebit): Cheese is grated and melted with milk or ale. Pepper, salt, butter, and mustard are then added. The mix is spread over toast and baked until "the cheese bubbles and becomes brown in appetizing-looking splashes" (Jane Grigson in English Food, London: Penguin, 1977).
Westmoreland Pepper Cake: Fruitcake that gets a distinctive kick from lots of black pepper. Other ingredients include honey, cloves, ginger, and walnuts.

reports say that people being released from prison are given injections (or tablets? in food?...) of drugs that cause an overdose and death at home. paracetamol is the one i saw mentioned. so clearly a fast as possible liver flush is key. there is suppposed to be a medical antidote, but i have no word on that. but what if They cannot get medical care???
i am sure medical people in Iran are adressing this now- but to be safe PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO ANY PERSONNE IN IRAN. OR WHO CAN FORWARD IT TO THEM. THE GOAL IS TO GET THIS TO ALL NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS.
here is a few things i found. bananas, beet greens and spinach. cabbage, cauliflower or brussel sprout juice. COFFEE ENEMAS. MILK THISTLE, AND DANDELION ROOT. orange carrot and ginger juice was also mentioned.
Liver Cleanse Recipe
In addition to the healthy foods and supplements mentioned above, you can give your liver a boost by starting with a quick, 24-hour liver cleanse. In the seven days prior to this short cleanse, eat the following foods:
kale
cabbage
lettuce
cauliflower
broccoli
Brussels sprouts
citrus fruits
asparagus
beets
celery
Avoid any processed foods, and eat free-range organic meats, refined carbohydrates and gluten sparingly. This preparation will help facilitate the cleanse.
During the week you are preparing your body, also try my Secret Detox Drink. It boosts your energy and helps you to detox and cleanse the liver. This recipe calls for apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, cinnamon and water.
Then, during the week of your cleanse try this liver detox drink. This recipe will help support your body while cleansing:
Liver Detox Drink
Dilute cranberry juice with a ratio of 3 parts water to 1 part cranberry juice.

Add the juice of 3 oranges and 3 lemons and stir. If the mixture is too tart, sweeten with your favorite all-natural sweetener.
Sip throughout the day.
You should consume a minimum of 72 ounces of this mixture and 72 ounces of water. After one day of the cranberry juice blend, reintroduce the foods you ate in preparation for the liver cleanse.

the idea that diet food has to taste bad is designed to hide the fact that white people are terrified of seasoning things (unless they're adding ghost peppers as a macho ritual, and mocking you if you make a face because ghost pepper is heat, not seasoning, and it sure can't make up for overcooked, mealy dishes) or learning the basic chemistry behind binders and leaveners before you start making substitutions.
also, there is no such thing as a diet zucchini cake that tastes bad if you know what nutmeg and allspice and cloves and cinnamon and ginger are for. there's no zucchini bread that has to be not sweet if you know what allulose is for. there's no dry crumbly boring zucchini bread if you respect the food you grow or buy enough to prepare it for pleasure, rather than for penance.
i know that cooking is a skill and too many people are too busy to find and memorise their favourite recipes, but if you learn the FUNDAMENTAL SCIENCE behind the chemistry of baking, and find out a bunch of non-standard ingredient substitutes (like using potassium bicarbonate in place of sodium bicarbonate if you need low sodium foods, or adding vital wheat gluten powder to low carb, glutenless flours if you need gluten bubble structure for yeast breads) you can literally imagine something you want to eat and then create it without a recipe.
BUT GLUTEN IS BAD no it isn't, not if you aren't celiac. seitan and msg are good for you, ask anyone from outside the racist west. free yourself from blogger liver cleansing tips and feed your body.
love,
a rapidly vanishing native (healing their NAFLD with food and refusing to eat anything that tastes bad or like "diet food")

New chubbyemu video just dropped and oh man was it brutal.
In which I learned the medical colloquialism of "nutmeg liver" and that shit's gnarly. Not a result of nutmeg consumption per se - just a description of a certain kind of liver failure state and the color/texture of the tissue in [more-or-less] gross anatomy.
The showcased poison of the day was NDMA. It's an extremely potent hepatotoxin and carcinogen.
If this "Jason" guy eased up on the dosage and AC coasted along after the malicious poisoning event... guy might've died of some kind of cancer, none the wiser.
Apparently this was inspired by a case in China between med school students. Don't know the legal side of things there (and Dr. Bernard tends to mix different case reports' details to tell a story and educate while doing it.) But this is making me think abt how an assault/battery charge can escalate to manslaughter/murder if the person dies of complications of the initial event - even YEARS later.
(For example... If you render someone a quadriplegic driving recklessly or under the influence - there's going to be criminal charges to that effect to expect. But if your victim dies of any number of issues that this condition presents - you can still be held responsible. There's no statute of limitations on murder.)

The Great Coffee Showdown: Hot Brew vs. Cold Coffee
Coffee, the beloved elixir that fuels mornings and invigorates afternoons, comes in a variety of forms. But when the mercury rises, a hot cup of joe might not be the most appealing beverage. Enter the refreshing world of cold coffee!
Tumblr media
This article delves into the battle between these two brewing methods, exploring their unique characteristics, taste profiles, preparation techniques, and health benefits to help you decide which cup best suits your mood and the season.
Hot Coffee: The Classic Comfort
For centuries, hot coffee has been the go-to beverage for countless coffee enthusiasts. Its aroma fills the air, promising a warm and stimulating experience. Here's a closer look at the world of hot coffee:
Flavor Profile: Hot coffee brewing allows for a full extraction of flavor from the coffee grounds. This results in a bolder, more nuanced taste profile that highlights the unique notes of different coffee beans. From bright and fruity to rich and chocolatey, there's a hot coffee roast for every palate.
Brewing Methods: The beauty of hot coffee lies in its versatility. From the simple pour-over method to the intricate world of espresso machines, there's a brewing method for every skill level and desired experience. Whether you prefer a quick drip coffee or a slow, meticulous pour-over, you can customize your hot coffee experience.
Health Benefits: Hot coffee boasts a range of potential health benefits. Studies suggest that moderate coffee consumption can improve alertness, cognitive function, and physical performance. Additionally, it may offer benefits for liver health, type 2 diabetes prevention, and even mood regulation.
Cold Coffee: The Cool Refreshment
In recent years, cold coffee has taken the beverage world by storm. Its smooth, refreshing taste provides a welcome alternative to hot coffee, especially on scorching days. Let's explore what makes cold coffee so popular:
Flavor Profile: Cold coffee brewing typically extracts different flavors from the beans compared to hot brewing. While it might lack the bold notes of a hot cup, cold coffee often has a sweeter and smoother taste. This is because cold water extracts less acidity and bitterness from the grounds.
Brewing Methods: Cold coffee encompasses a variety of brewing techniques, each with its own advantages. Cold brew involves steeping coarsely ground coffee in cold water for an extended period, resulting in a concentrated and smooth brew. Alternatively, the Japanese Flash Brew method uses hot water briefly poured over ice and grounds for a cleaner and brighter taste. Nitro coffee, infused with nitrogen gas, offers a creamy texture and a cascading effect when poured.
Health Benefits: Similar to hot coffee, moderate consumption of cold coffee comes with potential health benefits. The caffeine content provides an energy boost, and some studies suggest benefits for metabolism and fat burning. However, certain cold coffee preparations, like those high in added sugars or creamers, may negate these benefits and may be less healthy than black hot coffee.
Beyond the Basics: Customization and Creativity
Both hot and cold coffee offer endless possibilities for customization and creativity. Here are some ways to personalize your cup:
Milk and Creamers: Whether you prefer a splash of milk, a dollop of whipped cream, or a plant-based creamer, adding dairy or non-dairy alternatives can significantly alter the taste and texture of your coffee. Experiment with different flavors like vanilla, hazelnut, or caramel for a delightful twist.
Sweeteners: Sweeten your coffee to your liking with sugar, honey, stevia, or artificial sweeteners. Explore different options to find a sweetness level that complements your chosen coffee base.
Spices: For a unique flavor profile, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, or even ginger to your coffee. These spices can add warmth to cold coffee or enhance the natural flavors of hot coffee.
Flavorings: Vanilla extract, chocolate syrup, or even a touch of fruit puree can be incorporated into your coffee for a truly personalized flavor experience.
The Final Verdict: A Matter of Preference
Ultimately, the choice between hot or cold coffee depends on your personal preference. Consider the following factors:
The Season: On a hot summer day, a refreshing cold coffee might be the perfect pick-me-up. Conversely, a steaming cup of hot coffee can be a comforting treat on a cold winter morning.
Taste Profile: Do you crave a bold and complex flavor, or do you prefer a smooth and subtle taste? Hot coffee offers a wider range of flavor profiles, while cold coffee provides a naturally sweeter and smoother experience.
Energy Needs: Both hot and cold coffee deliver an energy boost thanks to the caffeine content. However, some studies suggest hot coffee might provide a quicker energy kick due to faster absorption.

Questioning a kintype because we're basically the same right down to
- isolationist tendencies - talks to bugs - surrounded by decay + flies. Flies everywhere in the warm seasons. I've made peace with this. We're all friends. I like them more than people tbh. - nocturnal - eventual plans to just fuck off into the woods and probably die - don't quite feel 100% 'living' due to circumstances (albeit I've never had a NDE where I actually died, I've had moments where I probably should have--mostly heart stuff lol) - recreational drug use :3
I'd make my own drugs but I can't grow plants to save my life. They all die (although my surrounding locale is quite the forest in itself--but nothing 'good' grows here naturally except liberty caps and I'm sadly not confident in my shroom discerning abilities). The only exception are those I let grow outside but I don't touch those except to help spread their seeds, so.
I have experimented with nutmeg, though. And experimented with what covers up the taste and weird mouthfeel it induces. Cream of mushroom soup for the curious disguises the taste of 1.5tbs of nutmeg and you can make it into a meal if you mix it all in rice and veg--enough to induce hallucinations, at least the first time I used it; all times afterwards were just a 36 hour weed-like high; did not have the hangover some people complain about. Add some normal ol' black pepper to give it a better 'kick'! No but really black pepper allegedly makes the active ingredient (myristicin) more effective, or something like that.
Whoever suggested chocolate pudding that one time was a liar...
And for the curious thinking of experimenting: don't drink coffee or anything with caffeine until ~36 hours later when it's out of your system. Space use out at least a week to two weeks and keep in mind that in using it like this, it's a neurotoxin that can damage your organs. Don't use if you have heart (or liver, or kidney) problems or value your organs as it puts stress on them (especially your heart, hence why you don't want to drink coffee - it's probably why my heart likes to almost explode sometimes) and can, again, damage them. It probably won't kill you but the very last time I had it after experimenting with it for a year I fainted, lol (after, funny enough, having a precognitive dream about fainting while on it). Also keep in mind that it is a DELIRIANT. It isn't a psychedelic or a 'proper' hallucinogenic, though it can induce hallucinations. I don't think there are any emergency comedowns for a bad trip, soo... For what it's worth during my experimentation I did get a few kinmems for other kintypes. But it was mostly weed-tier munchies (for 36 fucking hours!!!) and a comfy-cozy 'the air feels soft :3' feeling.
This has been Nutmeg: As A Drug, A Review with [name you aren't getting]! Good bye.
No kinmems, though. Just "wow, we have a startling amount of things in common."
