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

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.

what about the ash vase chocolate thing?

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?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

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