The inventor of vaseline ate a spoonful every day. He promoted it as wonder goo, fit for everything and anything. NGL it is pretty great, on the outside. Well, and a fistful of inches deep as well but no farther.

We feed out cat a little petroleum jelly to get his insides lubricated. This was prescribed by a vet after he was very constipated. That was an expensive vet visit

Does that work with humans this is not a medical question this is a personal experience question

To be clear this is not just straight petroleum jelly it’s formatted for cats, but the tube days 98% petroleum jelly with maple flavor
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
Like fuck I’ll eat anything that’s 2% maple am I a cat

Interesting they went with a sweet flavour; I always figured since cats are obligate carnivores that sweet things wouldn’t be very attractive to them.

My cats will drink flat soda or energy drinks if you leave them out. Animals are weird.
I once had a friend in school who had a rabbit. He took the vegetables off his burger and threw it in the cage with a couple strips of bacon. The rabbit sat on the tomato, devoured the bacon and then nibbled the lettuce a little bit. I still wonder to this day how a rabbit even digests bacon, let alone get an appetite for it.

I had the same thought but he gets so very excited when we pull out the tube.

Well, the inventor of Vasoline thought so
Chesebrough lived to be 96 years old and was such a believer in Vaseline that he claimed to have eaten a spoonful of it every day

Petroleum jelly would work, but it’s not intended for consumption. If you do want petroleum products intended for consumption that will do exactly the same thing, get some mineral oil

And go a tbsp every hour or so. I’ve seen so many videos of people drinking shots or larger of that stuff and stating they inhabited the bathroom all night.

If you want jelly, just get some Jello or a jar of jelly. Seriously!

Look man. If you’re constipated, just get some burritos with extra beans!
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
burritos aren’t real man. they’re a conspiracy by the government to… okay this one doesn’t fit i’m changing it back hold on.

I don’t know about petroleum jelly, but I know you can drink mineral oil as a laxative, and that’s basically the same stuff just runny.

feed your cat lithium grease and watch them become a 9 volt battery.

What makes this a “transistor” battery?
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
it’s not so much what it is, but what uses it.
late transistor radios required small high powered batteries. according to Wikipedia 22.5v batteries were popular in early transistor radios.
these 9 volt batteries were popular in powering these late transistor radios, the transistors specifically. hence the name.
