    My dog once caught what I thought was a diseased rabbit (because how else could my fluffball catch a rabbit?), but now I’m thinking it was just a hare

    Looked like it had just come back from the ethereal plane, its eyes were so wide

      Well, yeah. If I got chased down and caught by a predator 4 times my size, I’d be a little wide-eyed, too.

    Hares look pretty similar to cats anatomy wise - minus the ears and tail of course. I wonder what cats think of them. Imagine a human with ridiculously long ears who hops to get around. I’d be scared shitless.

    Hares are like what rabbits become after they go through what Aimo Koivunen did.

    A scout on the Finno-Russian border, their group got attacked by the Soviets, they fled and because skiing is hard fucking work, he got fatigued but couldn’t stop, so he decided to take some of the Pervitin (meth) he had been issued. He couldn’t get a single tablet out with his frozen hand and accidentally took his squads entirely dose.

    Was gone for a week. Skiid for 400km. Ate pinecombs and one siberian jay, raw. Pulse 200 and weighed 43kg (95lbs) when admitted to a hospital.

      This is the first time I’m seeing the word Pervitin in English, while that’s pretty much the only word my language uses. Most people wouldn’t know what methamphetamine is, but everyone has heard of Pervitin. I thought it was some local-only name, guess it’s time to learn the etymology.

            Thought so. I’m just not well traveled within Finland and thought it might be some little town word, but I am “well travelled” digitally in the drug circles and communities and have never seen anyone Finnish refer to it as such.

            Well, maybe once or twice, jokingly.

            But I wasn’t sure if Pervitin was a reich-wide product or a specific Finnish name for it. Apparently the former.

            (Although Finland wasn’t a part of the reich)
