minus-squareIsoSpandy@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·11 months agoI read the whole article. I wish Wikipedia articles had a comment section just or this article. What a wild ride.
minus-squareripcord@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·11 months agoThose are…surprisingly good marathon times, considering.
minus-squareripcord@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·11 months agoWhat, the rat poison? Maybe but the guy was wrecked pretty much afterward and barely even finished. Could hardly walk for part of it.
minus-squarefeedum_sneedson@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·11 months agoI see, that’s too much then. I mean it’s primarily a poison but I think it’s from the same family as nicotine, interestingly enough.

It’s a stimulant.
What, the rat poison?
Maybe but the guy was wrecked pretty much afterward and barely even finished. Could hardly walk for part of it.
I see, that’s too much then. I mean it’s primarily a poison but I think it’s from the same family as nicotine, interestingly enough.
Right? I can’t even finish one.
Holy hell this is definitely worth a read 😂
