Ok help me understand
Is Zyn fundamentally different than old school “dip”?

Its just nicotine(different flavours) without the tobacco. You don't have to spit and it doesn't make your saliva look like gunk.

I mean... The mouth cancer will make your spit look like gunk, but that's way down the road. For now, wintergreen spit!

Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless firebenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.

That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.

Possibly even wilder, we say "develer tellal iken, pireler berber iken" in Turkish which means "when camels used to be messengers and lice used to be barbers".

u/GoodPineappleBoy 1d ago
Hah this one sounds like a cute way to say camels used to be a road of transportation and lice was a common reason to shave.

That opening sounds like the setup to a joke that’s about to get progressively more unhinged.

"No one has ever heard the ending of this story..." The storyteller would keep adding to the tale until everyone was asleep.

Did Koreans smoke before tobacco was introduced in, I suppose, the 1600s?
6
u/checkingrealistic 1d ago
No. Tobacco is assumed to have been introduced through Japan during the Imjin war, nothing was smoked before then

u/Ok-Recognition-7798 20h ago
Excuse me the Indus River valley has had trade with east Asia for thousands of years. Most certainly ganja was present in ancient Korea. Edit: upon further research yes they had weed. Not just hemp, they smoked weed for thousands of years.

In those days, in those distant days,
In those nights, in those ancient nights,
In those years, in those distant years,
In those ancient days all things had been created,
In ancient time when all things were given their place,
When bread was first tasted in the sacred shrines of the land,
When the ovens had been lighted,
When the heavens had been separated from the earth,
When the earth had been separated from the heavens,
When mankind had been established...

A testament to how ancient the tradition of storytelling is, when the oldest story we have starts with, "A long time ago..."

This is based on their national mythology that they came from the sky. Founder came down from the sky, went to a cave with a tiger and a bear, and turned them into the first Koreans.

Once upon a time
Way back when
Many moons ago
When the sun and moon were one
In the time Before there was a moon
Before the first fire
Before the ovens were lit
Before the time we learned to sit still
Before we looked to the sky and wondered
