After watching enough NileRed, I'm fairly sure you can synthesize anything out of anything

anything

except love ._.

love chemicals can be synthesized, too, you just need a delivery mechanism

Rouge scraped guts off her shirt and slung the gooey clump aside. A small, sad voice entered her mind. ::That was really, really gross.::

The elf girl gasped and reached up to her collar, stroking the slimy, miserable little bat where she clung to her hair. ::Oh my gosh, Silus! Are you all right?::

Silus’ squeaky little voice was filled with absolute misery. ::There are intestines in my eyes.::

If a goat, or some other herbivore, eats cannabis, or the plant marijuana is extracted from as per my knowledge, will it get any of the effects?

Sure? Unless there's something specific to the species that is immune to the stuff in it, it'll have some sort of effect. It's not just herbivores, either, you can get a bunch of different non-human things high with varying effects.

Mind, raw weed doesn't actually do much or anything (you gotta' do stuff to it to make it give a high, apparently), so if they're just nomming the raw plant it won't have any effect other than filling their stomach. Quick google suggests roaming goats are actually a problem for marijuana farmers that cultivate outside, since they like eat it with a decent amount of enthusiasm.

... but yeah, most of the time stuff that will effect people will effect other things. Usually harder than it does us, too, 'cause we're pretty sizeable as animals go and fairly aggressive omnivores.

First google results from a post somewhere titled "Did you know hydraulic fluids can kill?"

Injection injuries may result in poisoning, severe burns, and loss of limbs. Inhaling toxic fumes because of burning hydraulic fluid may cause respiratory or nervous system damage, such as lung disease, asthma, or chronic bronchitis.

Please do not set hydraulics on fire.

I used to sleep to noise music, occasionally*. Train sounds being comforting is peanuts compared to that sort of auditory oddity

* I.e. things like this (which is still oddly soothing; it's like waves crashing on the beach, by way of fornicating industrial machinery), or Reed's Metal Machine Music. Not traditional sleeping tunes, ha!

Most of those "manual mode automatics" are terrible.  My wife's car has it, and there is a terrible lag as the transmission computer tries to figure out what I requested. I think it's because automatic transmissions are just fundamentally sluggish when shifting due to torque converters and other nonsense instead of a nice simple friction clutch.

From what I understand that's just flatly untrue these days, actually? Apparently they got autos transitioning as well or better than manuals (especially in the case of most and most drivers) a good few years back.

More likely the extra showoff thing just doesn't work that well 'cause it's there for display more than function

Automatic transmission mostly just means one less thing you need to pay attention to, these days. Rode with folks driving manual before and, just... nah. Naaaah. I've never learned to drive stick and have exactly zero intention of ever doing so, heh.

Adaptive cruise does sound like a legitimate nightmare, though. I could see some kind of emergency slowdown thing if you're getting too damn close going too damn fast, but just passive, or whatever? Weird idea.

Auto headlights, though... given the amount of folks I see driving around in pouring rain or otherwise low light conditions with their lights off, that one seems like a good idea. It's really damn clear that either there's a lot of people that forget that one, or just shitheads that don't for whatever reason.

Rear view cameras are definitely a blessing, at least. Somethin' to at least let you know something's in your blind spots is nice, too. Anything to help our shitty visual capabilities deal with the issues involved with driving is good, really. If only they could figure out a way to make headlights not glare so damn badly...
