Honestly I do wonder if anyone who reads shit like this is actually convinced and tries it

[-] kromem@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Most advertising works about 15% of the time.

Eventually in that industry you come to the realization that 15% of the population is just extremely suggestible.

And of that 15% there's people who ate TidePods because of TikTok.

So yes, if this was shown widely enough at least one person would eat a packet.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but statistics are made up 73% of the time in online forums.

[-] Franzia 5 points 1 year ago

The temptation is strong I'm relying on a description of what happens when a peraon does this and how dangerous it is Dont do it its bad but... 😱 I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna

[-] moody@lemmings.world 12 points 1 year ago

Silica gel is inert. It's not harmful, but the packets are a choking hazard. It's basically glass.

That's probably not how you escape the simulation.

[-] Franzia 6 points 1 year ago

Oh Well if its safe th3n its worth a shot righ...

[-] nBodyProblem@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I knew a guy in high school that would do self destructive stunts for attention.

I saw him eat silica gel on several occasions. I’m sure it’s not good for you but it’s not like he died or anything.

As long as they are not of the blue type they are apparently not toxic or poisonous. Might increase ones chance to get cancer, but that is about it. You'll just shit it back out and if you eat a few dozen it might clog up your intestines.

I'd still avoid eating it though.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The paper is gotta be a problem, there's no saying what's in it or in the paint.

They will also increase in size and dry some parts of your body, so try to keep your consumption moderate.

It pairs well with tide pods

[-] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 61 points 1 year ago

I have a pillow that says "silica gel do not eat" and I love it

[-] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 61 points 1 year ago

Put me back in. I don't want to remember nothing. NOTHING.

[-] technomad@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 year ago

So, you want to remember everything?

:P

[-] itsnicodegallo@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago

You missing the reference:

Gif of the slow-motion scene from The Matrix when Neo leans backwards and the bullets pass by him

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's a thought provoking storyline, because he says he doesn't want to remember anything, and he also tells them he wants to be a rich rock star. So if they put him in, wipe his memory, and give him a different life than he had previously, is it even him anymore? Not that it matters, since they wouldn't put him back in anyways. They'd just kill him along with everyone else when they attack the ship. You don't do favors for glitchy batteries, you throw them out.

Prettt sure it's tide pods not silica gel

[-] notabot@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

Well obviously they aren't going to let the secret out like this. Silica gel and tide pods actually just drop you ome level deeper into the simulation. Really what you need to eat is removed.

[-] massive_bereavement@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure if this is correct, I ate removed bu

There has to be some good reason people eat those

[-] RealFknNito@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I mean all the people who tried them didn't do it twice so either they were replaced by the simulation because they were free or they didn't like what awaited them outside the wire.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

We must investigate further!

[-] RealFknNito@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Guys, to escape the simulation all you have to do is open your mouth and

Some kid is definitely going to try this now.

[-] lugal@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Don't bother, it didn't work for me and won't for you

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

The real hero.

[-] TheYojimbo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's exactly what they would say to keep us in the simulation.

I'm out of here bitches !

[-] Ultragramps 14 points 1 year ago

Now I kinda want to see acid sheets that look like mattress tags

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Did you know there are upholstery cops that come by and make sure you're putting those tags on? They don't come around often but they do exist. I know an upholsterer who got fined for not having any. The stuffed articles act is Real Shit.

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Thanks for sharing, I didn't know. Wonder how you get into that field and what other super niche jobs there are out there

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I got into upholstery because I went to art school and got a textile degree. I imagine you become an upholstery cop because you like bureaucracy. In Canada they're the TSSA- Transit and Safety Something Something. They regulate airplanes, busses, boats and roller-coasters. And mattress tags.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 10 points 1 year ago

Apparently they aren't that poisonous, it's just that it's commonly shipped with food and it's certainly not edible. But for most adults, it'll just pass through you.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

In fact, it's recommended to ingest one pellet a day to boost your immunity against wise decisions

[-] Fisk400@feddit.nu 8 points 1 year ago

I think chubbyemu on YouTube did a video about someone that did this.

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It’s good with some Tide Pods on the side.

[-] jadedwench@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Anyone ever read "A Dirty Job" by Christopher Moore?

[-] Bougie_Birdie 2 points 1 year ago

Minty Fresh is bae

[-] tacosplease@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Damn I hope that doesn't work otherwise we lost Michael from vsauce. Need him in the simulation.
