Lactose Intolerance.
The Mozzarella Pizza beckons...

It is said that lactose intolerance can be overcome by ingesting enzymes that can digest lactose. Which can be found in milk and cheese. So theoretically, if you consumed tons of milk and cheese every day for like a month, you'd stop being lactose intolerant.

That said, you would suffer during that month.

Sadly, while this sometimes works, it's not a surefire way to become an Übermensch lactose tolerant.
 
To make the rumor crueler, perhaps...

- The enzymes need to be preserved, so you have to eat a ton of icecream and froyo for a month.

- The enzymes need to be not destroyed by chemical processes, so you have to eat only unpasturized cheese for a month.

- The fermentation in your gut means the enzymes are developing, so you need to wear a buttplug the whole time. This is the difference between "it worked" and "it sucked" -- but nobody wants to admit to wearing the plug.

I other words, go with gambler's wisdom and remember that 90% of people quit before they make it big! /s

But seriously, be careful around that. Don't consign yourself to the porcelain throne for the sake of a cheese experiment without knowing the risks.
 
In the grim darkness of the modern age, there is only Wi-Fi and one man who made a very bad dietary choice.

Kyle knew the truth. He had read the labels. He had felt the warnings. Yet tonight, armed with confidence and a family-sized bag of shredded mozzarella, he chose defiance. "Exposure therapy," he muttered, like a tech-priest blessing a cursed machine. "I will adapt."

The cheese was consumed in sacred sequence: pizza first, then string cheese, then a reckless slab of cheddar eaten straight from the fridge at 2 a.m. The lactose lay in wait.

The bathroom became his battlefield. Kyle collapsed onto the toilet, porcelain throne cold and unforgiving. His stomach twisted like a Warp engine spooling out of control. Each gurgle was a daemon whisper. Each cramp, a reminder that the flesh is weak and the gut weaker.

He scrolled his phone with shaking hands. News. Memes. The same three apps, over and over, as minutes stretched into an eternity. His legs went numb. His soul followed.

"Emperor preserve me," he whispered, staring at the empty toilet paper roll like a fallen banner.

When at last the storm passed, Kyle rose pale, humbled, and forever changed. He had not cured his lactose intolerance. He had merely fed it.

I mean, I would probably be willing to at least try them once, even if I ended up on the shitter for the rest of the day.

...mostly because you can't really know that beforehand, and because my curiosity and non-discriminating palate would drive me to try either way, just to see what they taste like.

As a Canadian Chinaman whose consumed Labrador Tea, Polar Bear meat, Seal meat, Pemmican, and Sturgeon fillets I can safely say that I'd live pretty well on such a diet. Narwhal is also nice as well, especially with some soy sauce (Kikkoman only) and wasabi. Caribou stew is the best on a cold winter day but raw caribou works in a pinch. I prefer Arctic char cooked and Greenland halibut (turbot) is one of my favorite fish to bake, you can get the turbot at Chinese supermarkets BTW, along with whole cases of coldwater shrimp. Which I just defrost and dip in Chinese black vinegar.

I work at a medical residence for Inuit patients which is how I'm able to eat most of the above. Pemmican I ate in high school when I traded it with my Mohawk frens for Chinese snacks.

I've only ever had Pemmican (homemade), but I would commit homicide for a chance to try any of the others
(Interestingly, German brewers briefly experimented with adding the leaves that make Labrador Tea to beer - something to experiment with in the future)
 
I love telekinesis. It can do so little or do very much. So simple yet so flashy.

On that note.

Did whoever was giving it to you tell you not to drink too much? Cause it fucks up your stomach big time (Labrador tea, is toxic if drunk in sizeable amounts).

One. Never eat the liver, same goes for other organ meats just don't eat them. Two, if you manage to eat Polar Bear meat -- only eat a single bowl of it and nothing else -- because mercury poisoning is the least of your worries. DO grab and preserve the fat though. That stuff is biological gold. Fur too.

Seal meat

Did those Inuk give it to you raw? Did they prepare it on the floor? I'm asking this because, a few years back, I was part of this party of guys and we went into the Northwest portion of the Hudson Bay (near Nunavut basically) and we encountered this band of Inuit hunters, who had actually caught a good sized seal that day, and after some introductions and awe at the fact we managed to meet, invited us to eat the seal with them. They uh... prepared it on the floor and the first thing we ate was raw fresh liver which, while it didn't surprise me -- it definitely made me quirk an eyebrow.

Yeah, there's a reason why my people named the Inuit: Askipiwāk.

Or in English: "those People who eat Raw Meat."

Askipiwāk is also where the word "Eskimo" comes from, for a little fact for you.

Here's a cooking tip. Take those fillets, score them and drizzle limes into the cuts and season with rosemary and fresh black pepper. Baste it in garlic butter. The fucking thing will just melt in your mouth, trust me.

One small mug and only half of it. The lady who brewed it told me that was the max I could drink because "bad things happen when you drink too much".

Ah yes, the liver of instant death. Some Inuit like the meat, some don't. They told me it has be boiled for several hours before its tender enough.

I had the seal raw, on a piece of cardboard, on a table. One of the patients told me his favorite part of the seal is the liver, eaten raw.

The raw meat is a great source of vitamins lol. Its how they survive up north with no trees and no agriculture.

Yes, there was a good amount of fat and blueberries and cranberries. The guy who had the recipe got it from his Blackfoot grandmother.

I ate the sturgeon in mainland China at a Russian restaurant some years ago. One of my uncle's Russian business friends invited him for dinner and he brought me along. It was cooked in the Russian fashion, baked with caviar put on top before it was plated.

I will try your recipe should I be so fortunate as to encounter a sturgeon I can legally harvest, since they're protected in most of North America. I will however, apply the recipe to the walleye, perch, and pike I may catch this or next month whilst ice fishing.

Forgive my ignorance, but how do you make pemmican without suet (or at least animal fat of some sort)? I can visualize not putting in berries or fruit, but without a stable fat, don't you just have berries dusted with meat powder?

You'll love this, but much of the English language commentary on North American Rhododendron Groenlandicum/tomomentosum/neoglandulosum (the plants which are used to make Labrador Tea) in brewing is simply incorrect because it is based on combination of bad citations.

You can drink it, its good for you, just don't drink a whole pot. That's what I was told.

I ordered some Thai food (2x green curry with beef +extra beef, 2x Thai seasoned popcorn chicken) from a franchise on UberEats because it was a 2 for 1 special plus there were some additional UberEats discounts. Delivery is fine but when I open up the green curry and start eating it becomes apparent that they fucked up my order and did not put in the extra beef. I make a complaint to Uber but they only give me $6 back (the add beef option was $5 per curry). That concludes my UberEats ordering experience for the month. I will probably (80% chance) not renew my free UberOne trial after this month.

In contrast, today I went to my favourite Vietnamese place for lunch after class to celebrate the weeklong break that just started (no class next week and today was my last class). Got a tall glass of iced Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk (they even have plastic straws!), two BBQ pork rice wraps (they were heavy on the BBQ pork), and a BIG bowl of Bún Bò Huế. After tax and an 18% tip it cost $43. That was my 1/2 meals of the day (my class was early in the morning and I didn't have time for breakfast). I ate at 1245 and the meal kept me full until 2200.

yeah, ubereats, doordash, grubhub and the rest of them can fuck right off. I've had enough. I will support my local restaurants.

Honestly fair, Its essentially a 'randomized' system(That the author completely controls) that gives out random bronze, silver, and gold tickets, with the potentially of either fucking you over with a completely random ability or skill, or giving you something completely OP.

Its become very boring, and repetitive to read about because there are a thousand different stories who in a lot of cases copy each other in terms of abilities and its just become very tiring to see.

forum.questionablequesting.com is objectively better because it's what I use and if you post links, those links will work for me.

the regular one works too, it just makes you need to log in again :V
but that's the more popular/older one? if so good to know to stick to the standard or whatever

anyone got any clue how two separate sets of links came about as a thing?
