minus-squarezqwzzle@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up46·edit-22 年前The winner of the 1904 marathon was given rat poison. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athletics_at_the_1904_Summer_Olympics_–_men's_marathon Entire story is wild. For podcast people the dollop also did an episode on this olympics. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KFLjcX163WI
minus-squareIsoSpandy@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·2 年前I read the whole article. I wish Wikipedia articles had a comment section just or this article. What a wild ride.
minus-squareripcord@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 年前Those are…surprisingly good marathon times, considering.
minus-squareripcord@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 年前What, the rat poison? Maybe but the guy was wrecked pretty much afterward and barely even finished. Could hardly walk for part of it.
minus-squarefeedum_sneedson@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 年前I see, that’s too much then. I mean it’s primarily a poison but I think it’s from the same family as nicotine, interestingly enough.
minus-squareDinosaurSr@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 年前Holy hell this is definitely worth a read 😂
minus-squareTheSilverShroud@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 年前Something about the professional, detached tone combined with the absolute slapstick insanity of the article’s content makes this perfect comedy
minus-square18-24-61-B-17-17-4@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 年前That was amazing. Thanks for sharing.
minus-squarezqwzzle@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 年前You should give the podcast a listen, I forgot the 1904 olympics was 7 months long.

It’s a stimulant.
What, the rat poison?
Maybe but the guy was wrecked pretty much afterward and barely even finished. Could hardly walk for part of it.
I see, that’s too much then. I mean it’s primarily a poison but I think it’s from the same family as nicotine, interestingly enough.
Right? I can’t even finish one.
Holy hell this is definitely worth a read 😂
