  • Fermented juice like wine, cider and similar things like mead get to around 13% ethanol through the fermentation alone, no special technological magic needed. I think it’s fair to say it was the first method of acquiring alcohol, as it’s very common in nature with, for example, birds getting high from eating not so fresh berries.







  • If you spoke with any Japanese people in the wild, it’s very hard to find those who can speak proper English. Most of the time they’ll have some basic vocabulary and will be able to understand what you are saying, but saying anything themselves is practically impossible. I often say that Japanese is a phonetically impaired language, mainly because of how little valid sound combinations there are in the language, being risen surrounded with only Japanese trains your voice cords to only produce these sounds. And Japanese phonetics barely intersect with English ones. You see the problem, right?

    And Japanese who are hanging out in places where they can meet with foreigners are obvously better at it than your average Japanese person.
