The tie should not reach the grundle

Nor the fish eye warping tool intended to make breasts look larger extend to the hands.

I'm not entirely sure I understand the deal, I feel like cocaine from space and interstellar travel are mutually implied things a person would have. Are you just asking for earthling cocaine? Or is this perhaps a sort of Drug Mule operation?

It's also technically worm poop.

It's not worm poop. Worm poop is the substrate that the microbes that produce spice grow in.

When the spice blow happens those microbes get ejected to the surface and the dry air and sunlight kill the microbes, decaying into spice.

I'm convinced those microbes are fungi. Specifically? Mushrooms.

Spice isn't space cocaine, spice is space shrooms

Have you ever seen this little movie called "Heavy Metal"?

Spice Melange is the psychoactive substance used by Guild Navigators in Dune. OP probably called it Space Cocaine since it's a powder, but it doesn't act like it aside from its addictive properties.

It prolongs life, gives heightened consciousness, even prescience in large amounts. Withdrawal is deadly, and the more that is consumed, the more is required to sustain.

Ah, is that girl a character from one of the new films?

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 4 points 2 months ago

No? I don't recognize her at least.

I don't actually get why OP used this alternative template and it's been bothering me

I think one of the parts is the Spacing guild... But I'm not sure either.

The spice must flow
