@KongSweden @archeohistories Does that translate to chocolate poop?

@archeohistories It sounds exactly as the chocolate we got when i did my military service in Sweden, it was awful.

The United States Army once paid Hershey's to make the worst chocolate bar in history.... It was 1937 and Captain Paul Logan of US Army Quartermaster General's office sat down with Hershey's chief chemist Sam Hinkle and gave him one of the strangest product briefs in the history of food manufacturing. He needed a chocolate bar that weighed four ounces, could withstand extreme heat without melting, delivered enough calories to keep a soldier alive in an emergency, and tasted, in Logan's exact words, only a little better than a boiled potato. He did not want it to taste good. If it tasted good soldiers would eat it whenever they felt like it and have nothing left when they actually needed it. The solution was to engineer the palatability out of it deliberately. Make it just edible enough that a starving man would eat it. Make it just unpleasant enough that no one would eat it for fun. Hinkle got to work. He cut the sugar dramatically. He increased the bitter chocolate liquor. He added oat flour, which created a dry, chalky, unpleasant texture. The resulting mixture was so thick and stiff that it could not be poured into molds at all. Every single bar had to be pressed in by hand. Before the war ended Hershey's had made more than three billion of them. When American GIs discovered that European civilians, who had never encountered the D ration bar and had no established low expectations of it, would accept a piece of Hershey's military chocolate with genuine enthusiasm, some soldiers began trading their bars to unsuspecting locals in exchange for cigarettes, food and goodwill, then watching the civilian take their first bite with a mixture of guilt and private amusement. © Eats History #archaeohistories

@PatUnleashed Let's see if DHS is in NYC on inauguration day to "Make NY Great Again."

@lunaticlynx_ @clashreport No, it should not be allowed because it will end up in Moscow.

@clashreport It’s should be blocked because of Turkish genocide in Sudan

@BrandonFugal 1.2 and 1.6 ghz signals. GPS is being spoofed, those frequencies are used in GPS communications

Sure seems like unequal justice in the UK

It’s 2030 in the UK & you’re being executed for posting a meme …

Freedom of speech is the bedrock of democracy. If the truth is suppressed, it is impossible to make an informed voting decision. The degree to which freedom of speech is being undermined around the world is extremely alarming.

@RepMaxineWaters It will be overturned on appeal. This was a show trial.

Trump shut your mouth! You talk about saving the Constitution? You’re the one who has disrespected the Constitution and you have supporters who believe we should get rid of the Constitution! Just shut your mouth, you’re convicted on all counts!

@VivekGRamaswamy @PatUnleashed Something to think about. Shouldn't he have to be convicted of a crime for there to be an underlying crime to base these charges on? Seems like a slam dunk for an appellate court to overturn.

The prosecutor is a politician who promised to nail Trump. The judge’s daughter is a Democrat operative who literally *raised $$ from the trial* while her father presided over it. The jury instructions said they didn’t have to agree on the crime to convict. This will backfire.

@PatUnleashed someone needs to ask Bragg what underlying crime Trump has been convicted of. These charges depended on the coverup of an underlying crime. None of which he has been convicted of.

@RepJeffries Abortion is not healthcare it is murder.

We will not let MAGA extremists criminalize reproductive healthcare.
