My quests are all bard shit / charisma heavy but with intelligence heavy side quests like havin’ to go talk Joe-Bob Sullivan (goes by Bo) from Buttfuck County West Georginia into taking his Zyprexa by mouth instead of as a shot tonight to bring him back down from the Meth Psychosis when he really wants an Ambien (not happen’in with the Zyprexa, I ain’t here to kill a mf) and who knows how to make a shiv out of jello and is also convinced that I will burst into spiders if I come close enough. Also you have 15 other patients and one is a brittle diabetic who’s been sneaking Graham crackers for the past two days.
Humans greatly overestimate probabilities which favor them. So, we’re all pretty sure we no one will spontaneously burst into spiders except politicians and billionaires.
Haha could you imagine…Trump is spewing hate (the good kind of hate middle American seems to love ಠ_ಠ ) and a all the sudden Vance just explodes into spiders and also some bile.
When you make jello, the boiling water lets the gelatin form bonds, which trap the water in the little cells because liquid water likes to glom onto it’s neighbors and it makes it hard for it to get out. Hence it wiggles instead of seeping water or splashing.
If you heat it, the gelatin bonds break and it goes to liquid.
If you leave it at a low temperature with good ventilation, the water molecules will randomly break their loose bond with their neighbors and fly out of the gelatin cell they’re in. As this happens, the gelatin will contract (it “wants” to be about the size of the powder in the box, but it’s caught squishing water) and get rigid, since the gelatin protein is naturally pretty hard (think bone or cartilage).
If the gelatin is too thick, the outer layers will get thin and rigid before the inner, and things will crack. It’ll happen to Jello in the fridge after a bit if you leave it uncovered, which is why you put some plastic wrap on it.
All that to say, get your jello about a quarter of an inch thick and leave it in front of the air conditioning vent under your bed, then file it down on the roughest surface in your room.

Hang on a minute…how do you know you won’t burst into spiders any given moment?

No no they burst into snakes and lizards that eat the people spiders. Ah the circle of life.
So the bald eagle eats the snakes and lizards, right?
Right!?!?
Dude WTF!!!

Okay how do you make a shiv out of jello? If you use a freezer, is that cheating?

This person starts with a tougher gelatin, but it’s the same principle.
I said that artistically as part of the story to be hyperbolically absurd, but this is fascinating, thank you for sharing.
Idk how Bo do it, he just do what he do.
Could… could you ask him for me?
