Everyone always talks about how x facetiously named "chemical" is unnatural and inedible and how its "made of" something like cloth or wood blah blah fucking blah its usually if not always bullshit far as I can tell.
But what is/are legitimately the closest thing(s) we have to muh unnatural man-made chemical that we put in U.S. food?
Like "ideally", I'm talking about not only is it unhealthy, but its also objectively or near-objectively gross, inedible, lab-made (GMO doesn't count fuck off), non-organic material (again, I'm not talking about GMOs or the normie hipster definition of 'organic'), empty calorie if it even has calories, has no taste or even lowers the quality of the food, used for an illegitimate reason, not even made for the purpose of consumption, and totally deserves its reputation of being a "chemical".
How would explain this account, sci? Is the concept of a bizarre flying object so enamouring for humans, perhaps spread cross-culturally, that these accounts can exist? It seems like they treated it a spectacle so that implies it is based more in exciting tales. And this writer did not witness it himself.
>The Dream Pool Essays or Dream Torrent Essays was an extensive book written by the Chinese polymath and statesman Shen Kuo (1031–1095) by AD 1088, during the Song dynasty (960–1279) of China. >A passage called "Strange Happenings" contains a peculiar account of an unidentified flying object. Shen wrote that, during the reign of Emperor Renzong (1022–1063), an object as bright as a pearl occasionally hovered over the city of Yangzhou at night, but described first by local inhabitants of eastern Anhui and then in Jiangsu. Shen wrote that a man near Xingkai Lake observed this curious object; allegedly it: >...opened its door and a flood of intense light like sunbeams darted out of it, then the outer shell opened up, appearing as large as a bed with a big pearl the size of a fist illuminating the interior in silvery white. The intense silver-white light, shot from the interior, was too strong for human eyes to behold; it cast shadows of every tree within a radius of ten miles. The spectacle was like the rising Sun, lighting up the distant sky and woods in red. Then all of a sudden, the object took off at a tremendous speed and descended upon the lake like the Sun setting. >Shen went on to say that Yibo, a poet of Gaoyou, wrote a poem about this "pearl" after witnessing it. Shen wrote that since the "pearl" often made an appearance around Fanliang in Yangzhou, the people there erected a "Pearl Pavilion" on a wayside, where people came by boat in hopes to see the mysterious flying object.
There are two phone bills that need to be paid.
A mother gives his son 2 grand, belonging to an old lady, whilst asking him to add 1 grand of his own into this money pool, letting him know that she'll pay him half of what was spent on their bill.
The boy arrives on the spot. He's asked for both credentials. The lady's phone bill is 770 for one month and 770 for the second, whereas the family's bill is 630.
Now, for the son's part, he pays both of them at the same time with that two grand and half of his grand coming back home with the rest.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. What's left of the money pool?
2. How much of the rest needs the old lady be getting paid back for?
3. How much does the mother need to pay her son back?
