Getting high as shit shouldn't be an important cultural role...
As much as I want it to be.
Getting high as shit may be the origin of culture to have cultural roles in the first place

It absolutely is: Mansplaining is a colloquial term referring to a man condescendingly explaining something to someone, typically a woman, who already understands it, often in a way that assumes the other person's ignorance. It was info I already had (which a reader could glean from my comment), did not require the explanation, and was tangential to my comment.
wrote last edited by [email protected]No, it wasn't. Their explanation wasn't condescending, they very likely didn't know you were a woman, you likely didn't know they were a man, and from your comment it wasn't obvious that it was knowledge you already had.
They were sharing knowledge and you got defensive for no reason. Be better, because you were the only one being condescending.

It absolutely was. It was tangential to my comment. Information I already had (which you could glean from my comment). And completely unnecessary.
Thanks for calling out the typo!
So were you saying people called cocaine "speed" back then?

I believe they were trying to say that the stimulant of the 50s was speed (aka an amphetamine)

Common misconception. Raw coca leaves don't get you high. Coca leaves are chewed to help alleviate altitude sickness and improve physical performance at high altitudes.
From what I understand, people chew on them all day. It's kinda like drinking coffee all day. And coffee does get you a little high as well for sure. (Haven't had caffeine in years, tried it again recently. Definitely some mild euphoria and was horrible for my resting heart rate and anxiety. I usually hang around 40-50bpm but black tea put me up to like 60-100.)

I'm good with the meth for weight loss and benzos for sleep. Someone else can have the other parts. Hard drugs with no questions asked, please.
The trade off for the weight loss is a face that looks 30 years older 🤮. The reason people in old videos look so old is because of drugs and cigarettes

oh it gets even worse than that. the coca leaves are shipped to Jersey so the cocaine can be removed before use in the drink! source.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Believe it or not it gets worse than that. Santa Claus was invented by Coca Cola and created the red and white color scheme because it matched the colors of the can.
They did this to try to come up with a way to convince people to by a cold drink in the winter.

For some reason, I'm reminded of sharpies.
We don‘t talk about the sharpie incidents here. Please.

Valium, cocaine laced sodas, and aspic for dinner? Sign me up!

Then the person who originally responded to them wasn't mansplaining, and used facts to contradict what they said. Then they acted like they already knew that

I genuinely think... How did people live back then... How weren't they severely malnourished...

Santa Claus existed before coke ads, he just traditionally wore green.

A lot of those jello monstrosities were filled with fruit and veggies.

No, I think they did speed, not coke in the 50s. In the form of diet pills

The person who had the lengthy the explanation about cocaine and Coca-Cola was correct - it just wasn't what I was talking about. I was referencing diet pills in the '50s that were made out of amphetamines ("momma's little helpers").

I thought it was because they wanted to get railed over the kitchen table with their face in the mashed potatoes.
The wife or the husband?

You did so in comparison to cocaine, in response to something that only mentioned cocaine in the context of cocaine cola. If you say it wasn't cocaine but speed back then, how am I supposed to get that you are referencing diet pills and not at all contradicting the whole cocaine cola bit?
But yeah, diet pills were basically just speed back then too. I can't argue that. Not sure why that's related to cocaine in cola though. Turns out people do all kinds of drugs, especially when readily available.

Could they?
do cocaine (although I’m pretty sure it was speed back then, but I’d still take it).
...in response to a reference to cocaine cola. That doesn't sound like you were aware cocaine cola was actually a thing, but rather sounds like you were saying people weren't using cocaine much but were doing speed instead, implicitly suggesting cocaine cola wasn't a thing, at least not commonly.
