> I'm going to call out the WP article as being factually wanting on that point.

No, it's not. What is factually wanting is any case of an actual tomb honey.

When I looked into it, every single supposed tomb honey, not already debunked by Leek, deadends in a useless citation which is 'someone somewhere once found tomb honey trust me bro'. Clearly made-up. They don't exist.

The burden of proof is on anyone who still believes in tomb honey to name a single specific verified instance, with time and place and tomb, and someone actually witnessing it and analyzing or eating it and proving it's honey, rather than several other possible residues like the Leek examples. Otherwise, it's just more telephone game nonsense.

(Note: the Leek PDF is unfortunately not working right now, because Hetzner has temporarily disabled my account over torrenting alerts.)



Hi there, You mentioned us briefly. If you haven't already contacted us about getting your account unlocked, you can find some more info about how to do it here: https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/dedicated-server/troubleshoot... --Katie (Hetzner)


Since you evidently haven't looked up the account of the person you're replying to, whose website is linked in his profile, this is spam. Spam is not what this site is for.


Thank you very much! Maybe a real case will come to light one day, but "almost certainly don't exist" seems like a good default until then.

Condolences about the censorship.
