I swear honey doesn’t go bad, but I also haven’t googled it :joy:

It’s the type of kissing. So I made my characters kiss like they are a lawn ornament…

It technically doesn’t, but adulterated honey isn’t guaranteed to stay good. If water gets in it, for example, which can happen with improper storage.

They’ve pulled honey from Egyptian tombs that was still edible.

Oh yeah, sulfur or something, right? I know that’s how they used to tell when caves or whatever would possibly explode.

I did a lot of research for a paper I was writing about how Reggaeton was successful, and how Nu Metal failed. And I even got a paper about the technicalities of Reggaeton beats and compared it to Nu Metal ones. I’ve always liked both in a way, but never really studied them.

But now the reggaeton research is helping with Andy Flow (don’t ask about the name) and his characterization for an upcoming project.

Nice! It’s cool to learn so much through research… and then never be able to pull that info out until a revision night :joy:

Okay, so TikTok brought me down a YouTube rabbit hole and now I have this song stuck in my head:

It’s deceptively easy to make songs like that. It’s just easier when you have a big production behind it.


Anyway, tangent over. What else is weird that I had to research? :thinking: The fourth dimension, the spiritual world for Julio’s story. And the ghosts and how the dimension is different, and research about mirrors and make my own ‘mirror logic’ to explain the spiritual world and why paradoxes were happening.
