did you know that cats (despite being obligate carnivores mainly interested in meat) can digest, for example, potato puree just fine?

i don't think most cats are very interested in potato puree but.

i can order ATP (pharmaceutical grade) at only €250/gram from sigma-eldritch. this is (historically speaking) nowhere near how expensive spices were, anyway.

do you think cats would eat ATP-seasoned potato puree?

this is actually pretty easy to test but i'll have to either downgrade to alibaba or file documents for an LLC first

come to think of it, i've never tasted ATP before. i wonder if i could taste ATP. i wonder what it tastes like

i don't have the right taste receptors to do it properly but i'd absolutely lick pure ATP powder

do you think atp would taste well dissolved in white monster

it's gotta be an adenosine receptor agonist, right? like other xanthine drugs? hmm but the biological lifetime is probably too low to feel it, especially on a background of energy drink amounts of caffeine...

the minimal alibaba order is 1 kg of ATP and i might just do it for the funsies

nevermind that, for some deranged reason people consume it as a supplement

i swear, the supplement industry is lukewarm to actively dangerous to its intended customers but it's an endless goldmine of chemical sourcing for its unintended ones

I will not order amphibian opioid heptapeptides from dubious chemical suppliers.

@geoffl yes, like, I have a clue which is why I don't inject myself with random peptides of unclear provenance. I was just interested in them :p
