Ginger is one of seven times spiciness has independently evolved: gingerol, allicin (garlic), capsaicinoids (chili peppers), allyl isothiocyanate (mustard, horseradish, wasabi), piperine (black pepper), eugenol (cloves) and alkylamides (Sichuan peppers, which are distinct from chilis). They’re all functionally pungent, but chemically distinct: meaning no single shared class.

Loved this Gilliam banger as a kid. Robin Williams, Uma Thurman, and Gilliam’s Monty Python alum Eric Idle are in it for those who haven’t seen. As an adult I see a lot of parallels with that movie and Tarsem’s “The Fall” (2006). They’re giving hopeful yet melancholic fairy tale energy.
Or why not load them linearly into a single barrel. It’d shoot out straight but would likely develop asymmetries and build up a moment of inertia eventually resulting in the bolas motion they’re likely intending.

I was gonna say “I’m out” since modern humans have only existed for ~300k years. However, OP’s likely generally referring to the genus Homo which is older and certainly also works. For example, Homo habilis goes back 3.8M years and walked upright.🚶➡️👍
Pharmacist here: The antidepressants most associated with reduced libido are the SSRIs (fluoxetine, sertraline, citalopram, etc) and the SNRIs (venlafaxine, duloxetine). However, there are options that aren’t associated with this symptom such as: bupropion, and mirtazipine.
Ask your psychiatrist (or PCP) if there’s an option available for your circumstances. Imho not enough people give enough feedback to their physicians about their medication regimines. Finding the meds best suited for you is often best framed as a conversation instead of a demand.
Soon enough (-ish) we’ll have genome-specific personalized medicine so this sort of inconvenience will all be largely a thing of the past.
I like this. It’s like giving ourselves the tools of power in case the people need to reclaim them.
