Deeply appreciated!

upon scouring the internet, the only reference I can find to Russian horse ash vases is this meme. I don't think this is real

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

Oh thank good, I was so confused for a while.

I mean, horses aren't even real.

[–] [email protected] 121 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It's not real. The kind of chocolate used in these is just shit. Source: a former child who had to eat those.

could you find me a link for something that talks about this awful Russian chocolate? cuz I couldn't find that either

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I guess I can give you a link to how it looks packaged https://images.app.goo.gl/xAAtahXj3H6KYqtx5

It can also be St Claus (Grandfather Frost in Russia) or a bear

That moment when your relatives or family friends gift you Russian chocolate candy like it's a special treat but you just really don't want to put it in your mouth

I feel like the biggest give away is that you'd notice pretty quickly whether or not something is chocolate. The fact that this guy ate cremated ashes and STILL assumed it was chocolate is unbelievable.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

not if your a dark chocolate liker B)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (2 children)

you need to eat better chocolate, normal dark chocolate tastes fine if a little bitter.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I get it though. Like, I'm into dark chocolate myself, but beyond about 85% dark it gets to be a bit much for me. I've absolutely pretended to enjoy 99% before as to avoid embarrassing myself in front of friends who were kinda snobs about it though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

i was joking .. i like dark chocolate :-)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Even after covid?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 months ago

I searched all my cupboards for Russian chocolate. It is all crumbly and objectively terrible/an acquired taste.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Could be real, can't be too sure, gotta double check.

As an expert on equine burials in the pacific, I’d like to weigh in. Ocean burials make up the overwhelming majority of pacific horse funerals, but there have been notable advances in stratospheric inurnment in recent years.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

what about the ash vase chocolate thing?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 months ago (3 children)

You’re right, I got a bit ahead of myself. Allow me to clarify. In general, the wind in Russia moves from east to west, which is a consideration in both air travel and windmill construction. However, helicopters are among the least impacted aircraft due to their free-form movement and large, stable propellers. Takeoff and landing can both occur within a relatively small area even in unfavorable conditions. I hope that answers any lingering questions.

If I look at the ceiling will you steal my lungs?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No. Unfortunately, I’m all out of Chianti.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I was more referring to this clip, but I also appreciate a little Silence of the Lambs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

As a fan of non sequiturs, I'm a bit surprised to have never seen this. Thank you for the link!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

yes, that answers everything. thank you

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

I love you.
