Is yayo real?

[hardy_conrad]

I'm probably crazy, or it's just a coincidence, or both, but I have the weirdest feeling I've heard the term yayo for a narcotic as slang somewhere... Not in the english speaking world but maybe a patois term or something.

Pervatin:

Thats how they blitzkrieg-ed France.

Well, it's how they kept going in worse conditions in a lot of places. France was... pretty darn easy compared to the Eastern Front. Germany literally motored further than they could manage to be able to supply and keeping that corridor opened in hostile territory sapped manpower that could/should have supported other efforts. (Basically, their offense was advancing like someone falling down the stairs and they either had to grab onto the rails (stop) or they'd create a disaster for themselves when they hit the bottom...) Just in my opinion. I wasn't there and don't take Pervatin :) I don't know if it was in use at during the Western campaign, but surely other options were.

Many who were supplied it were basically chewing crystal meth, which is what Pervatin was AFAIK. (Or a major component)

There was a good documentary on it aired on a US channel. (Military History) The over-use/abuse of Pervatin can be linked to some wacky behavior for entire units. Eventually, commanders became aware of the problem, but cutting soldiers off from their supply would also have issues. Those cranked-up guys have lots of firearms, so...

IMO, maybe it goes something like this?

Ambrosia: Uknown "berry." Given the name, some sweet stimulant/mild narcotic? (Meso-American/South American, "real-life" based plant origin?)

Beer: "Milwaukee's Best"... (Dogs drink it and throw up, so how good could it be?)

Psychite plant: Coca

Smokeleaf: Mary Jane

Flake: CRACK

Yayo: Cocaine

Go Juice: Liquid Pervatin (Meth derived or similar, given the Military origin/description)

Neutroamine: Magic Potion Drug with multiple properties, but can be synth'd for Wake-Up, so maybe something like ephedrine, epinephrine? It has legit medical use, too, so... Given the below, maybe another South American or even African source plant? (African due to possible synthesis for tetracycline, for Penoxycycline.)

Penoxycyline : Magic Drug, has antibiotic stuffs "cycline" properties, maybe some quinine is derived from Neutroamine, too. Or, maybee making that seem it is also some kind of a tetracycline product? And/or, made with an alcohol of some type or sumthin' in the process.

Luciferium: Weaponized PCP cut with Crystal Meth... and max-potency coke.

No links to any real-world wikis/etc in order to discourage "exploration." Look it up yerselfs'es.

(Illicit/illegal drugs are that way for a reason - They are bad. Do. Not. Do. Srsly... "No.")

PS: Google now has submitted my IP to some "list" somewhere, I'm sure. If I disappear, it means I'm being questioned by the DEA. Those guys love them some hard drugs.

Blame the game text/description, not me, and then try to bork my post on that basis... :p

Yayo is sort of a thing, I seem to remember there was an Aboriginal slang term for marijuana or meth or something which could more or less be seen as sort of in-game equivalent as "permissive" of drug-usage.

Perhaps we should just be lucky the legislative motivation to investigate the game was at zero and the need to grandstand was maxed out. I'm just waiting for some legislator to start banning games on whether they violate the Geneva Conventions Suggestions.

So given that there are over 200+ languages/dialects/sub-dialects [aiatsis.gov.au] in the overall Australian/PNG linguistic family , it's basically straight up stupid to pick on a given word as having harmful impact that some legislator in Canberra is going to sus out.

It is a bummer how much staying power prohibition has with respect to stimulants. Seeing how much Rimworld gets away with just goes to show how craven other media are on the topic. And if a company conducts business in multiple countries, it's the one that has the harsher policies which sets the standard. The strongest thing I've ever indulged in is plain old booze but so long as it's consenting adults you'll never hear an objection from me. I live in Canada and when we modernized laws on "certain" substances a few years back society didn't collapse.

Anyway rant over. Insect jelly = honey I'm guessing.

Meh once you see what stuff like Krokodil or Flakka do to people I doubt you would stay of the same opinion. I'm quite liberal when it comes to substance use for adults too but there's some substances out there I hope never to come in contact with; even indirectly....

I mean seriously man; stuff like krokodil melts you from the inside out... LITERALLY

Prohibition is still a failure. People can drink themselves to death, millions do it, but it is still preferable to empowering the Al Capones of the world. Nobody has to buy their beer from a murderous cartel. You create the financial incentive to deal drugs with prohibition.

[hardy_conrad]

I've seen stuff about krokodile and yeah bad news for sure. Of course, that arises because of prohibition rather than despite it... But I guess folks could argue about that until the end of time and still not agree, heh. Maybe Rimworld will bring in an equivalent in future dlc, a drug that temporarily causes euphoria and immunity to pain but generates severe infections in limbs?

Insect Jelly would likely be some kind of "honey," perhaps a bit more robust than "honey," but certainly for the same uses.

"Jelly stored and used as food by oversized insects. It is smooth, rich, and brings joy to those who consume it. Because of its unique biological properties, it can nourish almost any creature and never rots."

Honey has natural antibacterial properties, which goes a bit further than just being "bacteriostatic." (Bacteriostatic = prevents/inhibits bacterial growth) The percentage (2%) for causing food poisoning belongs to the class "raw food" and it's hard to justify. Maybe some fresh insect poops mixed in? :)


Note: I did bad things as an adolescent young person, many decades ago. So, just to comment - The hospitals are filled with people who have imbibed seemingly innocent "stimulants" and those same, seemingly innocent stimulants, are often so closely paired with more dangerous substances, in acquisition or use, as to present a danger for those seeking them out. Do. Not. Do. Those who claim to "know better"and to "know how to abuse safely" will not really understand what they do not really know. Period. There is a reason why large, powerful, companies that could easily make billions of monies selling seemingly "innocent" products are forbidden to do so by a government's regulatory policy... Change those policies at your peril. (Not trying to blow up anything, just had to offer a counterpoint. Will delete remove if this starts sumthin'... just sayin'. :))

Ambrosia: irl it is Ambrosia. ancient Greek myths about what their god's ate.

Beer: duh

Psychite plant: the coca plant (Erythoxylon coca).

Smokeleaf: Weed (Cannabis sativa)

Flake: CRACK (fun fact! the old version Flake was a crack pipe)

Yayo: Cocaine

Go Juice: Speed, Meth, Pervatin what ever you wanna call it. its all the same.

Neutroamine: i would assume it is actually what we call.... Alcohol. not the drinking kind, the chemistry/medical kind.

Penoxycyline : The peanut butter shot, also known as the “penicillin shot,” is a mandatory injection given to Army recruits during basic training. The shot contains a yellow-colored antibiotic called penicillin G benzathine, which is slowly released into the muscle over a few days.

Luciferium: Heroin.

But the best drug of all isnt even on the list....i call it Long Pig. you call it human flesh
