Reply to comment by supermr34 in TIL of the Medieval candle time clock, before electricity, a nail was placed at certain places on the lengths of the candle and people would hear the nail hit the ground when lit, letting them know a certain amount of time had passed. by FlashyBehind

Reply to comment by EaddyAcres in TIL that incarcerated prisoners make a contraband drink in prison called "pruno" which entails fermenting fruit, sugar cubes, bread, and water in a ziplock bag a several days. by FlashyBehind

well, it's only 300 characters for a TIL post, and I knew if I said "also, it originates from prunes hence pruno" and then had to go on further explaining myself as prunes are not always available in prison, they also use any fruit/sugar they can get their hands on., etc. etc. etc.

ps I have never been called a 'goofy goober' and I am honoured for this, thank you!
