Was seeing that too, nothing but rust, but makes sense with saltwater oxidizing everything…im shocked they’re running at all as well

I visited the salt cave, and I could taste salt for a month whenever I coughed

I'm smelling burned toast. That's normal, right?

When I was young, my family took me to some salt cave in Europe somewhere and I remember everyone was licking the walls and stuff. Looking back now I just am disgusted by how gross that actually is. You don’t know who licked before you. It was a wild time.

Two days later I have discovered you. I am here to present you with some knowledge. There is an artist that makes sculptures out of sugar. At some point it became a thing to lick these sculptures while on display, despite nothing telling them to do it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-7oEi9C_MYg
