Just try not to swallow the fly. I've heard if it gets inside you, the only way to get rid of it is to swallow a spider

I don't know why she swallowed the fly...

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Perhaps she'll die

Lol ... I was born and raised in northern Ontario. I'm indigenous and I've spent a lot of time in the northern wilderness which has lots and lots of swamp land and in the summer hosts billions of biting insects.

My parents were born in the bush so life out there was normal for us.

I remember spending summers out camping in July with clouds of black flies, mosquitoes, deer flies, midges and sand flies.... when we drank a cup of tea by the fire, you first had to skim off the drowning insects before taking a sip.

I think one fly in your wine is OK

That depends on what score the judges gives the fly.

Below 5, drink away, he was holding his team back.

5-7, still no big loss, but showing improvement, so if you can remove the fly, he might perform better next time.

8-9, his team will take a big hit if you drink him, you should immadiately rescue him.

10, it is your duty to not only save him, and for the next 17 days you are responsible for acting as his bodyguard

I'd chase it with a shot of vodka to disinfect your system for a good measure

As long as it didn't drink the whole thing.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Sure. Extra protein.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Takes a lot more than that to keep me from my wine.

Depends if your vegan or not.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Depends, if you drink my glass of wine with my fruit fly in it we have issues.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Financially; yes

Morally; also yes

Don't drink wine, alcohol is bad for you.

"But a study said that-" No amount of wine is good for you, those studies were all bought and paid for by the wine industry.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So what do you do that's bad for you?

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

Skip the fermentation and drink equal parts of sugar. Same high without the die.
