RL things I love

I have been living here so long that it often fails to occur to me just what a weird place it is. Sometimes, though, I get a wakeup in the form of "What the fucking fuck did I just experience?!"
This is one of those wakeup calls. I introduce to you "马奶酒" (horse milk spirits):
If you think the bottle is weird, wait until you hear what's inside it! The name is not symbolic or poetic in any way. It's a direct description of what this liquid is.
This is a (mostly) Mongolian thing: double-distilled fermented mare's milk. It turns out that mare's milk is one of the very few milks that has enough sugar in it to properly ferment by itself. So of course those crazy Mongols figured out a way to make an alcoholic beverage from it: Kumis. Then the crazy Han said "we can distill this!" The result is quite possibly the weirdest hard liquor I've ever let pass my lips.

I've heard of that and always wondered what it tasted like. So what does it taste like?
-
@WTFE I don't know why that makes me think of this... I only drink the finest breast milks...

I … lack the vocabulary to describe the taste. It's like 白酒 (baijiu, or "white spirits" -- typically sorghum-based hoch) that's gone off, but in a way that isn't as off-putting as that sounds. I'm not sure this is something I'd regularly drink, but it wasn't an experience I regret.

I have invented a daring new drinking game.
Browse Kicstarter. Sip when the extended entry claims that the item is "the world's first" something.
Take a second sip if you're sure that it's not.

(FTFY)

Finish the bottle if it takes you less than 15 seconds to find it for sale at a price way lower than the reward level they have for actually getting the "world's first" item.

I love this show so so so so so so much. My favorite is when Garnet sings.
-
This.
To me this is kind of like hearing that King Arthur has opened up applications for new Knights for the Round Table.
-
I missed Garnet singing????
-
I thought it was Pearl who got the musical number.
-
I assumed Sunny's "I love when Garnet sings" was more general show love, versus specific recent episode.
