upon scouring the internet, the only reference I can find to Russian horse ash vases is this meme. I don't think this is real

[–] nawa@lemmy.world 116 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's not real. The kind of chocolate used in these is just shit. Source: a former child who had to eat those.

[–] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago

That moment when your relatives or family friends gift you Russian chocolate candy like it's a special treat but you just really don't want to put it in your mouth

[–] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

could you find me a link for something that talks about this awful Russian chocolate? cuz I couldn't find that either

[–] nawa@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I guess I can give you a link to how it looks packaged https://images.app.goo.gl/xAAtahXj3H6KYqtx5

It can also be St Claus (Grandfather Frost in Russia) or a bear

Oh thank good, I was so confused for a while.

I mean, horses aren't even real.

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 56 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I feel like the biggest give away is that you'd notice pretty quickly whether or not something is chocolate. The fact that this guy ate cremated ashes and STILL assumed it was chocolate is unbelievable.

[–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

not if your a dark chocolate liker B)

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

you need to eat better chocolate, normal dark chocolate tastes fine if a little bitter.

[–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

i was joking .. i like dark chocolate :-)

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 3 points 2 days ago

Even after covid?

[–] JizzmasterD@lemmy.ca 31 points 2 days ago

I searched all my cupboards for Russian chocolate. It is all crumbly and objectively terrible/an acquired taste.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Could be real, can't be too sure, gotta double check.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As an expert on equine burials in the pacific, I’d like to weigh in. Ocean burials make up the overwhelming majority of pacific horse funerals, but there have been notable advances in stratospheric inurnment in recent years.

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

what about the ash vase chocolate thing?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 days ago (6 children)

You’re right, I got a bit ahead of myself. Allow me to clarify. In general, the wind in Russia moves from east to west, which is a consideration in both air travel and windmill construction. However, helicopters are among the least impacted aircraft due to their free-form movement and large, stable propellers. Takeoff and landing can both occur within a relatively small area even in unfavorable conditions. I hope that answers any lingering questions.

[–] Alk@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

I love you.

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

yes, that answers everything. thank you

Somebody has that reaction meme at the end?

[–] sverit@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

I lold at that, too :)

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I put a can of Guinness into the fridge today and noticed there is something solid rattling around in it. And now I'm scared to open it and find out what it is.

[–] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 49 points 2 days ago (2 children)
[–] norimee@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hey thank you!! I really had no idea.

[–] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 days ago

Lol nw! I was surprised too when I first bought the cans in college.

[–] drosophila@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That article seems ai generated.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 days ago

it's either AI generated or written by someone who has to meet a minimum word quota and desperately wishes for another job

[–] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 34 points 2 days ago

If you’re not joking, it’s the widget. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widget_(beer)

[–] umbraroze@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

You are too afraid to open up a Guinness can to find out what the hell is in there

I'm too afraid to open up a Guinness can because I'm afraid it won't be accepted by the can/bottle deposit machine afterwards

We're not the same

[–] LNRDrone@sopuli.xyz 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's just the foam bullshit thing, you're good

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's what the CIA wants you to think! It's actually a kinder surprise.

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

That would be no problem either since I'm not in the US. I'm perfectly allowed to swallow and choke on a little toys...

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Uh how is a vase chewable in any way?

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's made of horse ashes. I'd think it would melt in your mouth and taste bitter.

They probably thought it was stale dark chocolate

Or maybe this is made up

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Or maybe this is made up

Nuh uh.

mr hands is that you?

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Its probably not very strong because of the materials used.

[–] lemmingnosis@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

? horses are very strong, like 1HP+

[–] sep@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

More like 14HP. Many humans can produce 1HP

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah but it was a miniature horse: -1 CON, +2 DEX

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

isn't it a nightmare? it's dark and was at least made with a lot of heat, so it's stats would be a bit higher, i think something like: -1 CON(+2 against fire), +3DEX, +1STR, +2WIS

what do you think?

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

If its a nightmare replace the +2 against fire with a +2 against psychic and we're good. I'd say cosplay Oblivion's nightmare and make them not die but....
