What thing do you love that you can never get anyone else to check out? (lemmy.world)

Kind of a hard question to word, but is there anything in your life you have recommended to other people but no one's ever gotten into?

I love podcasts and have friends who still thank me for getting them into this one or that one. But I've never gotten anyone to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me. I don't know if the name is unappealing or the concept but people seem to bounce off immediately.

So what can't you get people into and why should we check it out?

Dostoevsky. Kava. My girlfriend refuses to watch Yu Yu Hakusho with me

Kava. I thought it was the way I was describing it. But they'll go straight for hard liquor that tastes like shit.

Haha! That's pretty much how it's described in the red mars trilogy. Idk if I'll ever try after reading those books.

yeah kava doesn't really taste good but i think it's much a cleaner buzz than alcohol. both work on the GABA receptors. i wanna try GHB one day because apparently it's also like alcohol but cleaner - but I have no idea where I'd go about getting it and I wouldn't wanna go searching for it
