Hey, random question, but have you ever seen the Always Sunny where the gang thinks they're dying from the flu until they decide to have one final drink?
Strong men are encrusted in calcium deposits for extra armour. Strong men have a large claw for crushing the skulls of weak men. Strong men walk sideways for a smaller profile when approaching prey. Strong men dig their own houses in the sand with nothing but their claws.
STRONG MEN ALTER THEIR DNA TO MORE PERFECTLY MATCH THEIR CARCINE BETTERS. STRONG MEN CAN CRACK OPEN A CAR LIKE A SNAIL SHELL AND SLURP OUT THE CONTENTS! STRONG CRABS WRENCH THE WEAK MEN OUT OF THEIR COMFORTABLE HOMES WITH THEIR WICKED CLAWS, TEARING SOFT FLESH ASUNDER!!!!
All government in the United States is dissolved and the internet has been cut off. The result is that each local public radio station, sea to shining sea, becomes its own microstate. You end up as the president of your new locality because you happened to be breaking into the radio station at the right time. What is your first move as leader of the Commonwealth of WCPC?
I believe I am a man too, in my own way. But my definition of man does not line up with the majority opinion, so I feel very strange about it. I think we feel similarly but I am really bad at explaining things.
I hope you can find what you're looking for. I believe you're a real, valid man too.
I don't know the answer to your question but I know the feeling. I sometimes think "man" as a term is outdated, and sometimes I think I must be something else besides a man because I don't act like a "man". Maybe we're just nothing?
Ah okay gotcha. You've done a ton more research on this than I have I'm sure, I thought this was an "overthinking" scenario.
I hope you can find something that works for you. I remember my grandpa made a big termite mound looking thing out of mud that was full of wood on the inside. It turned into a charcoal geode basically. I wonder if you could get enough wood from scavenging.
Sorry I'm just rambling now, good luck. Smithing is badass btw
Are you trying to make industrial levels of charcoal? I have a ~2ft diameter fire pit, if I want some charcoal for drawing I just put a bunch of sticks in some tin foil and make a fire
Are you maybe heavily addicted to caffeine?
