Finally something that fixes my posture
Only in spirit.
Ah yes, the straight Pill
Well it just makes you level, and stuff can be level and not be straight
Reminds me of this Niven story where a human takes some pills that are supposed to teach aliens how to teleport, but since he can't teleport he just gets an amazing sense of direction and orientation: https://www.larryniven.net/?q=bibliographic-reference/fourth-profession-the
He wrote another one where an alien got drunk and wanted to have a conversation with a guy, but since the alien was out of "speaks alien language" pills instead he gave him a "messiah" pill, which happens to include the ability to speak all languages.
That might be the same story? I don't remember well enough; I should hunt it down and reread it :D
I just want to get level
What are these?
They're from a level. It's like a ruler with these going left,right up,down and diagonal to help level things like a stove
