honey is the only food product that never spoils. there are pots of honey that are over five thousand years old and still completely edible

i also want to point out we know it tastes the same even after thousands of years b/c archaeologists who discovered two thousand year old honey tasted it. presumably right after they looked at each other and went “what the hell here goes nothing”

I’m pretty sure they also identify human remains by taste. Archaeologists are straight up freaks.

No, no no… you identify bone from rock or other substances by touching it to your tongue. If it sticks, it’s bone. The taste itself has nothing to do with it. And most archaeologists won’t lick human bones if they know they’re human.

…and I realize that doesn’t actually do much to prove archaeologists aren’t freaks.

mai nam is jane
and wen i dig
i fynde some roks
both smol and big
i put my tung
upon the stone
for science yes
i lik the bone

I’m sitting with a bunch of archaeologists and we just laughed so hard we CRIED we’re getting tshirts with this on them

Also, once, Jacques Cousteau and his crew were working an ancient greek shipwreck and found a still sealed bottle of wine in the hold. Of course, being French, Cousteau had to have a sip. 

To be fair we lick practically everything. We lick our rocks to see what type they are(though I swear to god Richard it’s not necessary if you just study the geological makeup of the dog site, you’re in west Tennessee it’s either sandstone or siltstone and everything is an artifact because there *is no bedrock*) and we lick our pottery to test the firing temperature (porcelain has the finest ceramic matrix and gets fired at the highest temperature, thus giving it a very non-porous structure and it won’t stick to your tongue), but I know very few archaeologists willing to do the bone lick test because there’s a million horrific illnesses waiting for you there and we all already have Lyme disease. I sure as shit ain’t licking a bone, I can tell it is/not a bone by LOOKING AT IT.

In Ye Olsen Days of anthropology, there was a theory that the older a fossil, the more porous it was (because the squishy stuff had been removed for a longer period see!) and thus the more it would stick to your tongue. AKA, old white dudes ran around licking a ton of fossils as a dating method. This lasted until the 1860s.

I can taste dirt and tell how long it’s been since the ground has been upturned

john mulaney talking about how much he loves his wife and roasting other male comedians that just talk shit on their wives is why The Gays like him so much because he’s what Straight Culture should be

he literally called her a bitch so let’s raise the standards ladies and gentlemen

the bar is at the earth’s core 

literally fuck you to hell tumblr

This is the first I heard of this guy and I think this is the most dramatically I’ve seen anyone’s words taken out of context in quite a while
