Current Events > A bottle of Captain Morgan's is better than 99.999% of alcohol consumed ever.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Since the dawn of human history, human's have fermented beer & other alcohols as an important source of calories and sterile hydration. And it sucked, compared to the scientific processes we have now.

Yes, aristocrats were bottling really sophisticated stuff, but it was just dwarfed by the masses. And a bottle of captain Morgan's is far better than what most humans ever had the chance to drink. Or a bottle of Rolling Rock.

i think some alcohol snobs need perspective about what's rubbish and swill

This is why time travel can't exist, because I would absolutely go back in time to give some vikings a can of Four Loko or a bottle of Mad Dog.

People like the TC are convinced that their opinions on good beer are objective fact despite that personal taste exists, and the fact that beer has more than 200 flavor components, and the ability to perceive many of these components varies wildly by genetics.

This is why some people detect bitter, soapy, metallic, or sour notes in certain types of alcoholic beverages while others do not. It's also the reason why polls on the best and worst beers are usually all over the place, with the sole exception that Natty Light Ice appears to be unanimously agreed to be the worst beer in existence in the US/Canada.

I remember being 16

He did not.

And you'd probably decimate the timeline after passing a modern disease onto them for which they have no defense. Imagine what Covid19 would do to a population that hasn't been adapting alongside of 1000 years of coronavirus evolution to evade host immune defenses. Or community-acquired MERSA to a population that doesn't possess antibodies for the most common Staph A. strains that have evolved within the past 1000 years.

...Come to think of it, this same rule would apply to just about any time travel scenario, along with the inverse when it comes to time travel into the future. Now that I think about it, it seems strange that the latter isn't a major trope about time travel into the future.

This is a topic

99.999% is not the right number, but I wonder what percent of all alcohol consumed ever is either light beer, or bottom shelf spirits in a plastic bottle.

He did not.

Yes I did. The TC is claiming that Captain Morgan's is better than practically all pre-industrial alcohol and a sizable percentage of the more upscale/ritzy/snobbish stuff produced today, and that additionally, people should judge modern beers using the litmus test ranging from "the 3000 BC equivalent to toilet wine to the fanciest alcohol consumed by the upper 1%" instead of the current litmus test of "Natty Ice Lite to the fanciest alcohol consumed by the upper 1%"

It wasnt tasty but cheap, with 5.9% alcohol. I drank that shit all the time in college

no I didn't lol
The point is precisely that most alcohol produced historically did not have the proper resources or knowledge to be anything but what we'd understand today to be watery swill not fit for the market shelf. "99.999%" is probably too high now that I think of it due to modern mass production, but your criticism about me not understanding tastes or whatever just has nothing to do with the premise of the topic whatsoever.

Rum sucks, spiced rum really sucks

So no

People have only been distilling alcohol for like 800 years, where as bear and whines have existed

Bro really bragging about mixing spiced rum with his coke.

bear

In the twilight of the Eocene, some 40 million years ago, scurried a creature named Parictis. No bigger than a housecat, it was a distant cousin to both dogs and the mighty bears to come. Parictis, with its sharp claws and a taste for both flesh and fruit, was the spark that ignited the bear lineage.
Millions of years crept by. Descendants of Parictis grew larger, their limbs stockier, their teeth blunter. One such descendant, the Dawn Bear, lumbered onto the scene around 20 million years ago. Ursavus elmensis, as it was called by scientists, was a dog-like bear, a bridge between the past and the future. It munched on insects and berries, but its powerful jaws hinted at a potential for a more meaty diet.
The world transformed. Forests gave way to grasslands, and with this change, the bear family began to branch out. The Short-faced Bear, a fearsome predator with bone-crushing jaws, roamed the plains of North America. Meanwhile, in Eurasia, the Ancestral Bear, Ursavus minimus, thrived. Smaller than its kin, it was an omnivore, a characteristic that would define the future of bears.
From Ursavus minimus, two lineages diverged. One path led to the black bears, including the sun bear, the Asian black bear, and the American black bear, all known for their fondness for both sweet treats and small animals. The other path led to the brown bears, a lineage that would give rise to the giants of the future the grizzly and the polar bear.
The story of the polar bear is one of remarkable adaptation. Around 700,000 years ago, a population of brown bears found themselves drawn to the icy shores of the Arctic. Here, they evolved a white coat for camouflage, thicker fur for warmth, and webbed paws for swimming. The polar bear, a product of isolation and a changing climate, was born.
The tale of the bear is a story of resilience, of changing forms to fit a changing world. From the diminutive Parictis to the colossal polar bear, the bear family has walked a path of remarkable transformation, forever a testament to the power of evolution.
