AngryCommieKender,

There’s literally a nebula out there that is almost pure ethanol that tastes of raspberry. I’ve no clue how we figured out what it would taste like, but there is literally enough alcohol there to keep the next 500 generations of humans perpetually shit faced even with the population boom that would occur.

I refer to it as “God’s Distillery.”

Infrared light gets absorbed by organic molecules at specific wavelengths depending on what structure they have. So we can look at IR light that has passed through the nebula to see what molecules are in it. The first article I saw said the cloud has ethyl formate which apparently has a raspberry like flavor.

AngryCommieKender,

Thanks for the easy explanation!

CitizenKong,

Obviously someone must have built the smelloscope from Futurama.

HawlSera,

What the fuck are you even talking about?

corsicanguppy,

No one remind anyone that the water/wine story is a metaphor.

makyo,

Eh you wouldn’t be able to convince them that it wasn’t the literal word of god anyway

I hope he posted that on naturally occurring social media sites, not the kind created and run by fallen men, because the earth has never produced a single social media site.

negativeyoda,

Jokes on you: evangelicals only read the old testament

Siegfried,

Psalm 104, 14:15 (while enumerating the great things God gave us)

[14] He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate— bringing forth food from the earth: [15] wine that gladdens human hearts, oil to make their faces shine, and bread that sustains their hearts.

Inb4, we are using oil the wrong way

iminahurry,

The earth has never produced a single drop of alcohol

Oh boy, do I have news for you!

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_wine

Granted it’s not produced in the tree, but it’s basically alcohol by the time people take the sap container off the tree, no human intervention needed.

Palm tree, formerly known as fallen men.

jimbolauski,

The pacu fish, who eat fruit, will eat fermented fruit and get intoxicated.

Leap,

God didn’t make yeast?

Zetta,

Well God didn’t make anything, because God isn’t real. Hypothetically if you asked a bible thumper the answer should be yes though

u202307011927,

Bruh moment.

If it’s impossible by nature then how could we accomplish it

He must have skipped homework numerous times in his holy book.

But Mom, Jesus never had homework

u202307011927,

I was talking about this guy in the picture

IvanOverdrive,

We had a tree with some sort of red berries on it. Every autumn birds would have a bird party getting drunk off the fermented berries. Alcohol appears in nature all the fucking time

zik,

Also there’s literally a scene in the Bible where god turns water into wine for his disciples. Why would he do that if it was a bad thing?

postmateDumbass,

Entrapment.

Eylrid,

The explanation that I was told for that as a mormon kid was that what they call wine in the Bible was actually unfermented grape juice. 🤦

reverendsteveii,

Homebrewer/fermenter checking in. Yeast is everywhere. Its already on everything. To an extent where homebrewing has a special category called wild or spontaneous fermentation specifically for stuff made just by letting wild yeast settle on it and start going to town. Which is to say that if you’re a bit lucky the only thing you need in order for wine to happen is fruit. Do you know how you make a fermented pepper sauce? Kim chi? Sauerkraut? You just need whatever it is you’re trying to ferment, and some salt. That’s it. The fermentation will just happen. Some small amount of alcohol will just happen.

If God didn’t create alcohol, then why does booze taste so good? Checkmate, Tiff.

Poppa_Mo,

Should introduce this guy to the raccoons that get drunk and fat from the apples that ferment after falling off our tree.

Fades,

cue the morons trying to say it was just grape juice

hauntology,

I was raised Mormon and this was the excuse they used. They have to lie and make shit up to keep things consistent.

Throughout the passage, the Greek word translated “wine” is oinos, which was the common Greek word for normal wine, wine that was fermented/alcoholic. The Greek word for the wine Jesus created is the same word for the wine the wedding feast ran out of. The Greek word for the wine Jesus created is also the same word that is used in Ephesians 5:18, “…do not get drunk on wine…” Obviously, getting drunk from drinking wine requires the presence of alcohol. Everything, from the context of a wedding feast, to the usage of oinos in 1st century Greek literature (in the New Testament and outside the New Testament), argues for the wine that Jesus created to be normal, ordinary wine, containing alcohol. There is simply no solid historical, cultural, exegetical, contextual, or lexical reason to understand it to have been grape juice.

FordBeeblebrox,

Also an exmo, even as a kid the logical inconsistency was easy to spot. It was grape juice back then, the Catholics still drink wine, but we drink water for…the same reason except it looks nothing like blood? Cool cool cool

ArcaneSlime,

First time hearing the word “exmo” and I have to ask, does that mean you only wear black temple garments?

FordBeeblebrox,

Nah, satanic boxers with pentagrams

regalia,

I tried that line, but my employer didn’t buy it. Smh

Omniraptor,

The reader suggested context blurb is the best thing to ever happen to Twitter

momtheregoesthatman,

Tiff Shuttlesworth sounds like a name from Happy Gilmore. I still love Shooter McGavin but damn, Tiff takes the proverbial cake here.

mojofrododojo,
