Comment on ‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout

How does one unintentionally eat a tide pod? So you tell the guy when you’re checking in at the ER “Homie and I were just playing catch with a tide pod and I was yelling at cousin Mabel to get off the dang roof and it just dropped into my mouth and I swallowed. It was a one in a million shot doc. One in a million.”

More likely they did it intentionally and didn’t want to admit to it to avoid embarrassment. That or one of their dumb buddies thought it’d be funny based on some Tiktok they saw so they dropped one into someone’s bowl of Doritos.

Either way all I was doing was correcting a false statement you made about children never eating tide pods. Because they surely did.

Ngl my partner put a dishwasher position on the counter the other day and I genuinely thought it was candy for an uncomfortably long second or so.

Because it looks like candy. It feels like jelly. It’s individually wrapped in clear plastic, just like candy

Now, imagine someone leaves one of those on the counter, or in a random drawer. That’s where loose candy lives.

So of course other people, who maybe don’t do laundry and don’t often see tide pods, are going to go “oh, look, candy!”

And then they call poison control as they retch and the cells in the mouth turn to soap, and they get added to the statistics

    Did you know that cognitively delayed teenagers exist?
    
    Check real quick - I think “gullible” is written on your ceiling. Watch out, I hear human traffickers are putting fentanyl laced roses on car doors.

    Okay, so I posted initially to correct your false statement that:
    
    Children were never eating tide pods either.
    
    What you said was demonstrably false.
    
    You then tried to walk that back by saying those ingestions were unintentional and posted a link to a consumer reports article about adults with dementia eating tide pods.
    
    Now you are following it up by implying it applies to cognitively delayed teenagers.
    
    Are you saying that your initial statement about children never eating tide pods is true based on this?
    
    Because there are actual videos of (probably) non-cognitively delayed teenagers doing this.
    
    I don’t understand why you’ve chosen this hill to die on. Is this one of those things where you so sure you’re right you can’t admit you were wrong? :o
