But not completely offtopic as it's a well-known fact that optics can be infested by lens-rot. Even lenses of the non-organic variety...

OMG! Just more evidence that nature is disgusting and wants to kill us.

Well think of it this way; pretty much anything complex that we manufacture contains huge amount of potential energy in chemical form. Clever lifeforms can tap into that potential and use it for their advantage.

"Disgusting" is a human concept. And quite a subjective one at that. My vegetarian daughter thinks a steak is disgusting. I think it's delicious.

"Wants to kill us" is personification. Whatever it is that is killing you did not wake up this morning thinking, "today I am going to kill robthebold". It woke up thinking, "I am hungry". Then it found some source of nourishment. That the nourishment was you is just a bad luck. The thing eating you never even noticed that it was causing anyone any discomfort, any more than you would if you found a doughnut just lying about.

Isn't it time we got back to the topic?

Here is my entry. Meet my friends Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The thing brewing in the demijohn (who the fsck made up the word 'carboy'? A car boy? Like the boy who ran in front of a car waving a red flag in the early 1900s?) is mead, an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey solution in water.

Photos taken yesterday, 10 July 2019, with Jolla. The first one is my entry, the second just to give you the context.

Note: Jolla is not exactly the best tool for taking macro photos. Especially not through the (dirty and uneven) demijohn glass.

To be fair, "half-toilet" isn't really an accurate description of a big bottle either. Nice mead, though! Speaking of mead, it's interesting how one half of the Indo-European speakers started using 'med' exclusively for honey, and the other half exclusively for the drink made of it.
