Savory Beverages


Sure, we all love sweet beverages. The world is full of them, milkshakes, delicious fruit juices, various nectar, and soda (Of which Dr. Pepper is my preferred choice). However, most of the western world ignores a wonderful beverage possibility. I speak now of savory beverages.

Think about. Most of us sane people love meat and salty foods. And yet, we only eat them in solid form. That's just crazy! Solid foods take way too long to consume. Imagine how much time we could save and how much pleasure we could enjoy if we embraced savory beverages!

Here are two of my top choices for a savory drink:

1. Gravy












To me, nothing sounds better than waking up in the morning to a nicehot cup of gravy. It has everything you need to start the day. Protein, fat, and delicious meat drippings. Coffee can't even compete!

2. Pizza Smoothies








Pizza is one of the most popular foods in the country. And yet, we all waste valuable time chewing the doughy delight. A flavor sensation like pizza would greatly benefit from the speed that a beverage offers. Instead of waiting a few seconds to chew your pizza, you can just drink it. BAM! Suddenly your mouth is filled with the awesome taste of garlic, tomato, cheese, and possibly meat. It just makes sense.

I hope this has opened your eyes to the magical word of savory beverages. Perhaps in the future I will post new "Recipes."

Theories: Part III Addendum "The Button Wars"

The Button Wars: Addendum to "Theories Part III"
In my earlier work, "Theories Part III," I mentioned the truth about the group known as "The Amish." I stated that, "The Amish are actually displaced time travelers from our post apocalyptic future." Many people have asked me to elaborate on this topic. So, here is a further explanation of the situation surrounding the Amish and what led to them to abandon their time for our future. Of course, due to the nature of time travel and the existence of the Amish in our present time line, this is only a possible future for our multiverse.

It all started in December of the year 2012. RonCo, a leader in technological innovations, made a tremendous scientific breakthrough. RonCo found the "Holy Grail" of science, medicine, and industry. They had perfected nanotechnology. For the uninformed, nanotech consists of tiny machines, or "nanobots," that can manipulate matter at the atomic level. The result is virtually indistinguishable from magic. Nearly instantaneous fabrication and repair of complex machines or "Wonder drugs" that cure diseases and heal wounds in seconds are just a few of the uses. Nanobots are self replicating and self repairing; maintenance is not a factor. This breakthrough gives mankind the ability manipulate just about every aspect of our world.

As the decades passed, humanity entered a new golden age. Disease was virtually eliminated, and the pace of technological advancement increased rapidly. Space travel, flying cars, and robots became commonplace by 2033. All of humanity flourished in a technological paradise. Well, almost all of humanity.

From the start, there were certain groups that did not embrace nanotechnology. Some feared technological oppression; that the government would use the nanobots in their bodies to influence, or even control their actions. Others feared that nanotechnology would quickly get out of control, converting the whole planet into a mass of nanobots. Some groups were just unhappy about humanity's reliance on nanotechnology; that we would forget how to do thing the "old ways" and become dependent. There was even a significant group that felt that nanotechnology was eating away at our very humanity.

Their fears may not have been entirely unfounded. As the use of nanotech became more widespread, many people moved beyond the realm of simple health and fitness. Body modifications became commonplace as people sought out the next evolution of mankind. Many people in favor of nanotech started changing their bodies: enhancing strength, adding limbs, new senses, and even psychic powers.

Some in favor of nanotech went even further than psychic powers: they wanted to create a psychic link between all human minds. They sought to use nanotech to form a singular human consciousness. This was the last straw for many of the anti-nanotech groups. In 2099 they banded together to oppose the creation of a psychic link. Together they formed the Association of Modern Individuals Saving Humanity, or the AMISH.

The Amish went to World Assembly and demanded the right to be free of nanotechnology. By this time nanotech was so ingrained in everyday life that functioning in society without using nanotech was nearly impossible. Everything from transportation to commerce required the employment of some form of nanotech. While the World Assembly did not understand the demands of this Luddite group, they did take measure to facilitate them. Provisions were made to allow the Amish to function in society without using nanotech. They were given land on the continent of Antarctica, which was now habitable thanks to nanotech-powered terraforming and weather manipulation. As time went on, the culture of the Amish became distinct and separate from the rest of humanity. They felt the rest of the humanity had lost its way. They developed strict codes of separation to keep out the "evil" that nanotech represented to them.

However, it was often necessary for certain members of the Amish community to interact with the rest of the world. To make up for their lack of nanotech, the Amish were given small devices that approximated some of the functions of nanotech needed in day to day activities. These "Buttons," as they were called, acted as their ID in the global information network, allowing the Amish to move about the world and engage in commerce and other necessary social interactions. However, over time, the Amish began to see Buttons as a sign of oppression. The Buttons made it immediately apparent to any nanotech user that the Amish were different. Those who did not understand the Amish lifestyle saw the Buttons as sign of stupidity and backwardness. They treated the Amish poorly, mocking them ruthlessly.
By 2150, the Amish were fed up. Antarctica proved too small for their needs, and relations with the outside world were strained. They requested that the World Assembly terraform a whole new planet for them. The World Assembly refused, and decided that the Amish had become too much of a nuisance. They cut off trade with Antarctica, blockading the continent. They also attempted to forcibly infuse all the Amish outside of Antarctica with nanotech. A war soon erupted - one that the Amish were not equipped to fight. Their traditionally-built battleships and weapons were no match for the might of the nanotech fleet of the World Assembly. The Amish were barely able to hold off a full invasion of Antarctica by using electromagnetic pulses to temporarily disable the opposing nanotech forces.

The war took a terrible toll on the planet. Amish operatives detonated several powerful atomic weapons across the planet. Thousands of cities were destroyed. The World Assembly responded by releasing nanobots into the atmosphere in an attempt to convert the Amish by force. The Amish used their EMP weapons to deactivate the nanobots, but this action scorched large portions of the atmosphere. This just angered the World Assembly even more.

Time was running out and the Amish could not hold back the efforts of the World Assembly any longer. They needed an escape and did not have the resources to head into space. They decided to delve into one of the few forbidden sciences: time travel. Amish scientists hoped to go back in time and prevent the development of nanotechnology. When spies relayed this information to the World Assembly, efforts to conquer Antarctica were doubled. This left the Amish with little time to prepare for their temporal incursion into the past.

On May 23, 2151, the World Assembly invaded Antarctica in the largest military action since World War II. The Amish were struck unprepared. All of their efforts were focused on building the Rift Generator and making the complex calculations needed to travel back in time. Ironically, this would have been far easier if they had used nanotech to assist their efforts.
As the World Assembly forces reached further and further into Antarctica, the Amish were forced to put their plan into action early. A small team consisting of one hundred operatives were sent through the time vortex just as the final wave of World Assembly troops reached the Amish Capital City of Amishopolis. But the Amish had sabotaged the city, and soon the entire continent was engulfed in an atomic blast.

The team of elite Amish operatives were partially successful in their efforts. While they did manage to travel back in time, their calculations were off. Instead of reaching the year 2012, they overshot and ended up in the year 1730. Now stranded in the past, they were forced to form a new plan. They would attempt to stop all technology from developing, not just nanotech. They infiltrated a group of Mennonites in Pennsylvania set out to convert the entire world to their way of life. They reformed the Mennonites into what we know today as the Amish. They enforced strict codes to separate themselves from the "English" or outsiders. They adopted the simple style of dress common among the Mennonites; however, they added a new clause banning the use of buttons as fasteners, as they were seen as painful reminders of the Buttons they had been forced to wear in the future.

The future Amish found life in "the past" far more difficult than they had anticipated. This was only compounded by their abandoning any semblance of "modern" technology. What's more, the future Amish soon found their ranks thinned by the diseases of the 1700s, to which they possessed no natural immunity. As the years went on many of the original Amish were lost, leaving only a handful to accomplish their goals. With so few originals left, the message of the Amish was distorted, and some idea such as conversion, were lost completely.

Some time stream historians believe that the future Amish were completely absorbed by the past population, and that there is no one left to stop the spread of nanotech. However, recent events may indicate that this claim is false. While technology has advanced significantly in the 20th and 21st centuries, humanity is still far from perfecting a usable form of nanotechnology. Some scientists at RonCo have even claimed to have been threatened by mysterious "Men in Black" who sport peculiar accents and beards. As this time line approaches the seminal year of 2012, what will be the ultimate fate of humanity?
