@Rainmaker1973 How does a Solanaceae, which naturally produces pyridines, produce tryptamines?
This posting raises questions for anyone with even a tiny amount of chem/botany knowledge. Also, all the compounds listed can be synthesized. Extracting them might be more challenging actually.

@archeohistories This photo demonstrates the difference in meaning between the words "historical" and "historic". The photo is not historic because it doesn't show anything specific in history, but it is historical because it shows the period. The women are indeed dressed for the '70s!

@archeohistories It's accepted wisdom that the "labyrinth" is a military defense? If so, why the corridors going straight through which make entering the labyrinth voluntary? My limited imagination supposes this was a "pleasure quarter" where many different prostitutes set up shop.

@JarosArch @archeohistories It's a very intriguing layout. What purpose did these thick walls surrounding a lattice of tiny interconnected rooms serve? I would not call the layout a "labyrinth", nor a "maze", it's a kind of warren. No matter what you call it, it would be easy to get lost in such a place.

@instagram @KaizzManiego Really funny!
No one gives a damn about this new feature on IG, but everyone is frustrated about how there's no customer service from Meta, and it's bot-omated "community standards" enforcement is making lots of mistakes. Meta provides no way of rectifying these issues.

Really? I'm surprised. I don't know you very well, and I guess I shouldn't assume that just because we have similar collage styles that we also have similar taste in clothes. I'd definitely buy some chicken leg... https://t.co/OV0fbdRkZH
