    I have IBS that is triggered by sugar alcohols. Eating one whole apple gives me awful gas about an hour later followed by 8-12 hours of violent diarrhea the next day.

    So… One apple is enough to everyone away from me.

      On the other hand, if you keep an apple on hand you will never be stuck in the middle of a zero-g space station.

    The secret to keep everyone away is not how many apples you eat, but how many entire bulbs of garlic you eat!

    The downside is that it keeps vampires away too. :(

    Eat enough apple seeds and you won’t have to worry about people or their proximity to you ever again.

    Drywall? Go to a first world country! There are solid and expensive hospital walls! And other such public amenities!

      Yes, it’s the material of our walls that’s the problem in American hospitals. You nailed it. Everyone can pack it in, we know what needs fixing now. /s

      BTW, y’all use bricks cause you wiped out all your trees, not cause you’re better than anyone. Paper, sheetrock, and wood are all perfectly acceptable building materials, assuming you haven’t already ripped up all the trees. They’re also quite a bit easier to work with and build, too.

        While I admit that wood is a perfect fine building material building out of stone is just more durable.

        And in the USA they build paper thin houses out of wood, because no high quality standards exist and it is cheap. In Germany even houses out of wood are pretty durable and have higher quality than the average usa house.

        • We tend to demolish anything old and build something brand new, unlike a lot of Europe, too. Which I would think ends up costing more than fixing up an existing structure, depending on how well it was built in the first place. Or the craziest shit: Build a new house with old wood from a boat (shiplap).

    About 200. You will key everyone away for 100’s of yards after the funeral.
