Here's the REAL 46,000 Year Pause that Refreshes:

Russian Rip Van Winkle Worms!

46,000-year-old worms wriggle back to life after scientists defrost them. The tiny creatures, discovered in the Siberian permafrost in 2018, existed when woolly mammoths still roamed the planet. The tiny worms, which are less than a millimetre in length, were thawed out and coaxed back to life in a petri dish filled with a nutritious soup designed to encourage their growth. After a few weeks in the dish, they began moving and eating. The worms died within a few months, however scientists said the species has reproduced and is now undergoing lab experiments.

Love the old commercials. Joe Rogan knows some chemical stuff. He looks worse for his consumption

Though. I remember these cigarette adds, and every once in awhile Coca Cola on ice is a rare treat. Not old enough to remember the days when Coke opium speed was all legal morphine too.

Big pharma got its start this way.

Now look what they proudly provide gene modifying dna mind numbing heart stopping concoctions of safe and effective ambrosia. The paws that pull you under, The eternal pause that refreshes your earthly mundane lost life gone.

Great commercials though. No wonder we were such smart ass kids. The writing did it!

Interesting that they still use the Coca leaves for flavor after the medical processing plant making lidocaine etc has stripped them for cocaine. Bet there are still trace amounts in it!

The thing is is that you can never know what you don't know. And by the time you get "in-the-know", it has already changed. Being in the know is nothing more than worshiping the cult of keeping up with the Jones'. A complete waste of time.

Incredible comment! People get pretty irritated when I tell them that people wouldn’t be hurting so badly right now if we weren’t almost all trying to keep up with the Joneses buying homes we don’t need, new cars vs used or OLD, RVs, ATVs, fake nails, fake colored or curled hair, gooped up faces with makeup, “designer” labels, etc. It is a VERY inconvenient fact that most of us refuse to address. The elephant in the room so to speak. Just like the soda and coffee addiction. We are brainwashed to do STUPID things we don’t need and should open our eyes to while we make EVERYONE rich BUT ourselves.
