at first for some reason i read &quot;out the fish&quot; in this headline as some sort of colloquial multiword adjective, like &quot;out of sight,&quot; and thought that 404 media was immodestly congratulating themselves on their top-notch shindigs

@aparrish@friend.camp the headlines that are getting passed around keep burying the lede on the more interesting part, that the metabolites when humans process and excrete cocaine have *more* of a stimulant effect on salmon that straight blow does. We are the sandworms to the salmon's fremen.
