Ever see a comic and wonder if you’ve gone insane? Someone please explain this to me before I turn myself back in to the asylum. Freedom was nice while it lasted.

A screwdriver is a type of alcoholic drink

Made by mixing vodka and orange juice. As opposed to a mimosa, which is champagne and orange juice.

[-] 6nk06@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks for the explanation. We just call it "vodka orange" in France.

I blame my sheltered religious upbringing. Be right back, I have some more rebelling to do.

[-] unmagical@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

Right there with you. I've been sober my entire life so it took me a spell to figure out.

Since others have already given you the actual answer, allow me to share a fantastic gag:

edit: Even better! I've been rewatching Futurama recently. I put on the next episode to watch while I eat my breakfast and it was the episode featuring this clip.

That clips off my favorite part of that scene:

Bender: hey, who's your hot dumb friend?

Both: me!

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, that part is pretty funny, though the pun shown is my favorite personally. Both are great!

Also yeah, there weren't many good clips in the brief search I was willing to perform. I apologize for depriving you.

Fine. I'll have my own favorite part! With blackjack and hookers!

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

In fact, forget the part and blackjack.

Alternatively:

I'm 40% parts! bang bang

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 weeks ago

40% favorite parts.

I saw a vid of someone making toilet paper out of vodka so I'd believe this

How on earth did they do this?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulosic_ethanol

Tl;Dr cellulose and ethanol are both organic molecules made of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen in similar quantities, or similar enough that you can get the oxygen needed from the atmosphere anyways.

For further consideration:

Margarine was developed by Nazi Germany so they could make butter from coal during the wartime shortages.

I still don't! 🤪
