yes the world may be depressing and cruel.
yes people suck and will let you down, disappoint you, anger you, sadden you, and hurt you.
yes your own brain can become addicted to harmful substances and becomes astonishingly susceptible to psychological diseases that shorten your lifespan and ruin your body.
yes…….other stuff!
but thank God for the internet. where i can buy, look up, read, research, watch and communicate with just about anything at the click of a button.
thank you God for giving me the chance to live in the 21st century. also thank you for booze (thats been around for BILLIONS of years).

i don’t think booze is billions of years old. I’m not sure when the first alcoholic beverage was developed (i could probably google that), but i’d have to say it was rather recent, in relation to earth’s existence. Maybe some thousands of years ago or something.
here here!
and yeah… booze had been around for a long time. DOZENS of years even.
Thank God for living in the twenty first century? I’d rather live back when the earth was starting. Live during all those times we humans are clueless about. Because I’d actually make an accurate account for everybody in the future, because I’d just be thoughtful like that.
Also yeah, not sure alcohol has been around billions of years. Still mentally debating the wheat plant in my head. But maybe you saying that could just be the effect of the booze.
Take it easy, keep being inspired.
@StruggleOn What are you on about? That is one of the strangest viewpoints on the “what time period would you want to live in” question I think I have ever seen. I think that would be hard to do, considering you would have no written language.
@The River
I didn’t mean I wanted to live when during the times I had to fear being stepped on by a baby dinosaur or attacked by giant mosquitoes. Even just the earliest human life. Plus, the language started somewhere. Even with no language I’d be like a mad scientist cave man preserving things in jars for later discovery. What’s wrong with that? Well, okay, that sounds like an unsuitable lifestyle for me too. It was just a theory.
Well I mean… just imagine how much life would have sucked back then. Seriously. Early humans? It would be so much work just to keep yourself alive. Struggling to get enough food and what-not. Terrible living conditions. Also, if you were born in that era you would probably have no concept of (or care for) future research, preservation, or significance in the past. But idk why I’m getting so technical with this. Maybe clevername is rubbing off on me, haha.
lol… my first though on that was “did people have jars before language existed?”
Sometimes i have to consciously choose restraint, or i’ll go around poking holes in people’s reasoning.
If i could choose, i would have wanted to be born further into the future, after all these absurd problems have been long since solved. And maybe in the future people will be genetically engineered, so that no one has to get stuck with inferior or unappealing features.
I’m tempted to apply innuendo to that “rubbing off” remark… but maybe i should let it slide…

“my first though on that was “did people have jars before language existed?”
That crossed my mind as well. I supposed maybe some sort of pots though. Although I’m pretty sure language would have existed by then, just maybe not written quite yet.
I bladders from animals could of been used as the first jars, in not turtle shells as at least a good bowl to hold your rotting plant/fruit/vegitables in.
And just like that this post has evolved into a discussion on the fundamentals of prehistoric jar-making. It’s odd how these things can go.
…and just as quickly as it evolved, it went extinct!
niggas, how long ago do you think the first CO2 molecules combined with H2O to form ethyl alcohol? step up yo chem games niggas.
but that’s not booze; it wasn’t booze until people figured out how to use available materials to produce it.
That said… i wonder how old Cannabis is. I wonder how long ago that first person to try, snatched a bud off a flowering plant in the wild, and got high.
I wrote a pretty detailed answer to the “how old is booze” question on this thread that was sent straight to the spam folder, for some reason.
Anyway, tl;dr, booze, as an intentionally created beverage, is at least 10,000 years old.
i saw it, it was a good comment.
there are literal PLANETS filled with booze. nebulas even! trashed titans in the skies floating in the intoxicating ether. if only…
