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

[–] nawa@lemmy.world 122 points 1 year 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.

[–] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

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

[–] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] nawa@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 58 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

not if your a dark chocolate liker B)

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] Gustephan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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

Even after covid?

[–] JizzmasterD@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 year ago

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

[–] umbraroze@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

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

I mean, horses aren't even real.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what about the ash vase chocolate thing?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 year ago (6 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.

[–] Alk@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I love you.

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

yes, that answers everything. thank you

I put a can of Guinness into the fridge today and noticed there is something solid rattling around in it. And now I'm scared to open it and find out what it is.

[–] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 49 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] norimee@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey thank you!! I really had no idea.

[–] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

Lol nw! I was surprised too when I first bought the cans in college.

[–] drosophila@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That article seems ai generated.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago

it's either AI generated or written by someone who has to meet a minimum word quota and desperately wishes for another job

If you’re not joking, it’s the widget. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widget_(beer)

It's just the foam bullshit thing, you're good

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's what the CIA wants you to think! It's actually a kinder surprise.

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That would be no problem either since I'm not in the US. I'm perfectly allowed to swallow and choke on a little toys...

[–] umbraroze@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You are too afraid to open up a Guinness can to find out what the hell is in there

I'm too afraid to open up a Guinness can because I'm afraid it won't be accepted by the can/bottle deposit machine afterwards

We're not the same

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Uh how is a vase chewable in any way?

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's made of horse ashes. I'd think it would melt in your mouth and taste bitter.

They probably thought it was stale dark chocolate

Or maybe this is made up

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or maybe this is made up

Nuh uh.

mr hands is that you?

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its probably not very strong because of the materials used.

[–] lemmingnosis@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

? horses are very strong, like 1HP+

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but it was a miniature horse: -1 CON, +2 DEX

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

isn't it a nightmare? it's dark and was at least made with a lot of heat, so it's stats would be a bit higher, i think something like: -1 CON(+2 against fire), +3DEX, +1STR, +2WIS

what do you think?

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If its a nightmare replace the +2 against fire with a +2 against psychic and we're good. I'd say cosplay Oblivion's nightmare and make them not die but....

[–] sep@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

More like 14HP. Many humans can produce 1HP

[–] KarfiolosHus@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Somebody has that reaction meme at the end?

[–] sverit@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I lold at that, too :)
