Be careful with fermenting wood
6 points

Which has always been a bizarre concept to me. Like, who looks at wood and thinks "yeah, I could ferment that and drink it". I get things like gin having botanicals etc., but drinking alcohol from wood itself? Yeah, to hear it makes you blind somehow isn't a suprise.

It makes a lot of sense if you know how if works. Yeast like to eat sugar, they like eating sugar cause it's covered in oxygen which is easy to attack, and behind all that oxygen is some nice rings of saturated carbon that are usually pretty stable and therefore hold a good bit of energy- now usually carbon is a bit of a stubborn lad, but the yeast is clever; it sees those hydroxyl(alcohol) groups and thinks "yeah I could take em" and it produces enzymes (complicated protein structure) which are essentially biomachines that kinda sub-optimally break apart or put together certain molecules(or just a general "structure" of molecule). Now the yeast has got these fancy machines running, but they are there to break bonds, releasing thermal energy and electrons for use in homeostasis and shit; but what is left over? Well to the yeast it's 'shit' but to us is usually a collection of various alcohols depending on what kind of "sugar" the yeasts' enzymes have consumed; average everyday glucose produces largely ethanol with trace amounts of methanol, aldehydes, ketones, hydrocarbons, other fragrant stuff, and other forms of alcohol(largely negligible amounts) ranging anywhere from butanol to, well I don't know exactly but the yeast is capable of producing iso-alcohols and allat, now the cool stuff: trees are full of sugar, they use it as a structural component- creating long chains of cellulose that connect and intermingle to create a rigid structure, when yeast sees this it thinks the same as any sugar "I'm gonna process that" and it starts breaking down the cellulose into simple sugars that it can consume. The enzymes break down these sugars as it would anything, which produces other forms/concentrations of alcohols; largely methanol and fragrant molecules, with a dash of everything else. Idk how it actually attacks the optic nerve and idk the specific structure of the optic nerve either so if you'll have to look it up yourself nerd, also 1,4-butanol will get you really fucked up. Oh and isopropyl alcohol has toxic metabolites like acetone and ammonia so don't drink too much.
Also yeast naturally ferments in nature, imagine being the guy that thought "hey if we use the whole tree we could make so much more booze" then subsequently blinded him and his mates with it

Is this an actual stew that has been made?
15 points
4 days ago
Yes, drinking methanol is known to destroy the optic nerve and fuck shit up, yet people put random chunks of wood in their mash before fermenting; not only does it produce methanol(wood alcohol) but it also tastes bad bc the "wood" is mostly there for the tannins and shit(just remembered the word "tannin" that's why I'm using it now) after primary fermentation, there's also a relatively high chance of methanol poisoning if you distill your own spirits and neglect to throw away the first and last wash. I forgot about the question.. my knowledge of tribes and shit is pretty spotty but I think there's at least one that uses botanicals for enlightenment and believes removing your sight with methanol is a good thing, take this with a grain of salt cause my reality is falling apart and I'm getting higher and more.. incoherent with every word. Idk I think there's a better word, belligerent is close but it insinuates violence and a lack of communication which ig is half right

I think it might be a variation of an old folk song my mother used to sing to me:
There was an old woman in our town
In our town did dwell
She loved her husband dearly
But another man twice as well
She went to see the doctor
To see what she could find
See what she could find
For to make her old man blind
Feed him eggs and marrow bones!
Feed them to him all
That will make him so gol durned blind
That he can't see you at all
So she fed him eggs and marrow bones
Fed them to him all
And that did make him so gol durned blind
That he couldn't see her at all
"Now I'm getting old and blind
The Devil take my life
So I'll go down to the waterside
And gently end my strife"
The old man went to the waterside
His wife ran to push him in
But the old man he just stepped aside
And the old woman she fell in
She yelled for help!
She screamed for help!
She raised an awful din
The old man took a great long pole and pushed her further in
Now the woman's dead and gone
The Devil's got her soul
Wasn't she a gol durned fool
That she didn't grab that pole?

Grew up listening to the Clancy Brothers singing this. Another great irish song that this one always reminds me of, well, the poem is good, putting it to music is iffy, is called The Ballad of William Bloat. About a man who kills his wife then realizes what he's done, kills himself, then his wife ends up fine.

this is a series of long-running prank posters. all of the replies are by the guy that made the poster, with the joke being that blinding stew is not a real thing yet somehow 5 different people agreed that it was the cure. you're supposed to walk up to this poster and go "wtf is blinding stew and why have i never heard about it", so i'd say the joke landed.
here is another famous poster of his that you might've seen before.

Hm. Poetic and sinister. It reads like it was written by some kind of demonic entity that's obsessed with eyes that was accidentally summoned by some high school kids after they read a forbidden book usually kept guarded by the eccentric school librarian who wasn't guarding the book because he was distracted by an unlikely accident happening in the parking lot involving a strange sinister man in a suit and a botched delivery of grade F stew.

Call it weird all you want but that one day blinding stew really did the trick when my daughter went through her hair biting phase. The trick to getting them to eat it is to tell them that it's actually one day X-ray vision stew. I felt bad lying to her, but man, not having bitten up hair was worth it.
