Breaking news. Kids may be dumber than
suspected. I saw this online and I hope that it is just the news
making something out of nothing but it may be happening more than we
are aware and that makes my brain sneeze. I have written about some
dumb ass challenges that people do and post online like eating donuts, slipping on banana peels, snorting condoms, making themselves ugly, sucking bottles with their lips, setting themselves on fire,
stabbing their hands while singing, and pouring salt and ice on their bodies. You know. Things folks think are fun to do for views. This
time there is the Tide Pod Challenge. Yeah. That is a thing.
Tide Pods are for doing laundry. You
just toss it in the laundry, it bursts somehow through science, and
washes your draws. But now people are putting them on their mouths
and eating or biting them. Why? If I could tell you why with a
definitive answer I'd figure out a way to save the universe which I
think I am currently doing by not reproducing.
On one news show the
reporter said “I can't even believe I have to say this right now.
They are brightly colored and they're very nicely wrapped, but these
Tide pods are not candy or pizza toppings or breakfast cereal - they
are not edible.” You shouldn't have to say that aloud to anyone
that is old enough to understand the language you are speaking.
Hey,
idiot. Laundry detergent can fuck you up. I wish it made idiots
sterile. I know that I could not be the parent of a kid that thought doing something like this was a good idea. I wouldn't even take them to the hospital. I'd just stare at them while they shit their soul out and try to find the missing chromosome in my lineage that could possibly be responsible for the punishment I was receiving in the form of a dumb child. Yeah, I snorted detergent when I was a tiny kid but it wasn't because I saw it on TV. I knew that cocaine was a thing and was simulating it. Totally different...
