TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zipto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Do American drug companies come up with their drug's name or jingle firstEnglish8·2 days agoChemists write papers where precision is key, so they’ll use an IUPAC name like (RS)-N-methyl-1-phenylpropan-2-amine.
The title of the paper will use the trivial name N-methylamphetamine, because it’s easier for everyone, but still precise enough.
People who buy and sell the drug, use one of the trade names, such as: speed, ice, chalk, dunk, pookie, rotten candy, rocket fuel etc. at this point though, all precision goes out the window. The product usually contains a variable mixture of fun and interesting surprise compounds and even the concentration of the active ingredient can be all over the place.

Why don’t we start a new cult around him and his ideas? We could eventually use the cult to exploit vulnerable individuals, brainwash innocent people, commit human rights violations, incite people into committing hate crimes, start wars and promote chaos and suffering in general.
TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zipto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•One of the big dangers of getting romantically involved with AI is the costEnglish21·3 days agoNah, we can do better than that. Just add microtransactions for premium responses, loot boxes for random fun personalities, and a battle pass for exclusive chat themes. Oh, and let’s not forget daily login bonuses for extra chat time, exclusive avatars for early subscribers, and a seasonal event that requires you to chat 12 hours a day to unlock the ultimate bot personality. Then we’re in business. And don’t worry, we’ll throw in some limited-time offers that expire in 10 minutes, just to keep things spicy! Plus, if you can maintain a streak of daily chats, you can earn badges and achievements. BTW which one sounds more exciting: gold coins or diamonds?
TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zipto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Sometimes the word "alternative" should be replaced with the word "bullshit". Ex: alternative facts, alternative medicineEnglish2·3 days agoWe need to find an bullshit to fossil fuels and plastic bags. You can’t just ignore these problems, and listen to bullshit rock all day long.
Yep, that works perfectly.
