Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Hunh. The Sagittarius B2 interstellar cloud:

is composed of various kinds of complex molecules, of particular interest: alcohol. The cloud contains ethanol, vinyl alcohol, and methanol. [...] An ester, ethyl formate, [...] is also responsible for the flavour of raspberries, leading some articles on Sagittarius B2 to postulate the cloud as smelling of ‘raspberry rum’. Large quantities of butyronitrile (propyl cyanide) and other alkyl cyanides have also been detected as being present in the cloud.

Cool stuff.

I don't know about "drinkable" though. It'll turn you blind at best.

[–] kadu@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Biologist here! From this list of substances, you'd absolutely die from a shot of this cloud.

I'd try it anyway lol

Death by Raspberry Cloud. Got a nice ring to it.

[–] ImpossibilityBox@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Death by INTERSTELLAR Raspberry Cloud has an even better ring to it.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Pangalactic gargle blaster levels of rings if you catch my toiletteries

Sounds like a new energy drink. I bet it would sell well

[–] 7of9@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

Only one man would give me the raspberry!

[–] Feidry@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Sounds like a new wave rock album title.

[–] UtMan1988@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'm sold. T-Minus 10... 9...

Everything is drinkable once, with a strong enough blender.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Don't breathe this!

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm sure there's a way to extract the ethanol. That's drinkable at least.

[–] anguo@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But then you'd lose all the raspberry goodness!

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

True, but you'd have something more potent than both Everclear or the most potent Sakes and Vodkas. As long as you make a proper fruity drink with that stuff, (1 oz of pure ethanol would be equivalent to almost 3×1 oz shots of a standard vodka) and you'd have a banging Sex on the Beach, Long Island Iced Tea, Kamikaze, Vulcan Mind Probe, or many other mixed drinks.

[–] nero@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It’s drinkable, probably not very enjoyable though

[–] OneCardboardBox@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 years ago

I don't give a shit about raspberry nebulae unless there's someone out there to eat it. Find them aliens! I'll settle for a bacterium, even a fossilized one.

Is the raining glass real? Thought that was a Lower Decks episode.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

Glass is mostly quartz, which is made of silicon and oxygen, which are pretty common elements in planets' makeup. It's all about the temperature, pressure and atmosphere at this point

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

It rains diamonds on some planets
