What is raw honey? Is it just honey? I'm not american.
Commercial honey is often pasteurized and filtered to avoid crystallization, be smoother and be pollen free. While it can effect the shelf life raw honey isn't enormously dangerous (or illegal anywhere as far I'm aware) like raw milk but should still be avoided by infants and immunocompromised people. I am also not american.
While it can effect the shelf life
Archaeologists have found 3,000-year-old pots of honey that are still edible.
Well, it wasn't in a shelf, was it? Check-mate.
Can, not will
Isn’t eating local honey supposed to help with allergies because it contains local pollens? So it like builds an immunity or something?
Honey can contain botulism, which is why you need to avoid it with babies and those with weak immune systems.

That's unfortunately untrue. Raw honey contains too little pollen to have an effect, and what little is there is rapidly broken down in the stomach.
It's also the wrong type of pollen as the type collected by bees is from plants that utilize insects, not wind, for fertilization. It's heavy and stickier, so isn't airborne in substantial quantities, and thus not the type of pollens responsible for most seasonal allergies.
Lol, this was exactly my first thought as well.
Isn't honey supposed to be avoided by infants anyway?
In Finland honey is never pasteurized but also not recommendes for children under 1 year old
Is cristalised honey considered unproper for consumption? Honey doesn't go bad. That is the only food that is so. Cristalised honey is just that: honey that doesn't have the same texture as a more recent more.
Sounds better than sitting in a cubicle for the best hours of the day, and the best years of your life
That all depends on how many bird corpses per hour you're earning.

Wonder how that conversation came up.
"I'm sad. My parakeet died today."
"Alright, fuck it, let's make a deal!"
"Say, do you like raw honey?"
At the end of this trade quest they will either end up with an alternate costume that people only wear because of the quest or the most powerful weapon ever conceved. We will just have to wait and see if the earth is destroyed by the stick of unlimited damage or someone walking around some weird dead parakeet suit that offers no protection.
Um, Ackshually... It would be for the Biggoron's Sword.
Giant's Knife is the 200 Ruppee scam from Medigoron.
Giants knife was pretty good even broken tho', that's what they don't want you to know
Wow, what a quaint little folk-tale. I wonder how this will...
When did my life get this weird?
Oh.
Oh shit, someone should let this person know that a lot of these don't end well.
One Small Favor
I'm guessing that's what you're referencing.
There was a dude in the Lego community on Lugnet at the time that did a similar thing trading up from a 1x1 red stud to a Technic bulldozer that was one of the most expensive sets at the time.

This ̶g̶u̶y̶ person lives in Fallen London.
The Giant's knife was the garbage that was easy to acquire. You're thinking of the Biggoron's Sword, obviously
Meanwhile I’m stuck with one of those old-timey jobs where you’re actually supposed to show up.
Wonder what the main quest is then
Yeah those things didn't happen
While I agree this is probably just a made up funny joke, if you you've ever actually lived in a gift/barter community, it's pretty much this. Hung out pretty much exclusively with anarchist and various left-communists for years, and this was my life. You do things for folks, they do things for you, and along the way you end up with stuff like a shit ton of honey, and you end up giving that honey out in exchange for something else, and you end up meeting someone with a weird skill, and it all just spirals into this weird and glorious community.
The difference is that in real life, you're not saying "I'll give you this honey for a bird corpse" you say "hey, man, can I have your bird corpse, I know a girl who loves macabre art, and it would be a really cool way to honor your beloved pet," and then you either give them honey as a thank you, or just later on when it comes up that they want some honey, you give them some because you happen to have some.
I once had a friend who straight up gave this guy his Prius, that same dude ended up giving a mutual friend a place to stay for over a year. Original Prius owner never got anything directly for the Prius, but he was within the little gift economy, and ended up receiving lots of things and services from various members over the years. I doubt he feels like he was not repaid for it.
It's a pretty great way to live. It's a shame we all could never work out a way to get land and built the cohousing community we dreamt of.
left-communists
Is there such a thing as right-communists?
Also I’m guessing your friend didn’t originally acquire the Prius by bringing honey to the Toyota dealership. That’s where this kind of thing breaks down.
It's not lol. The issue isn't that barter centric systems fall apart with complex products/services. The blame as always rest with mega corps, investors, and the most insatiably greedy cunts that we always hand power and leniency to.
Anarchist systems fall apart at scale. Because they rely on social reputation to keep people well behaved. And social reputation doesn't work if you want factories and electronics and other things that require the collaboration of tens of thousands of workers around the globe.
Tankies?
Strasserists?
