    Seriously. Who the fuck actually wastes their time on this shit?

    Edit: Self-reflection creeps in as I realize I’m just getting old and these kids on my lawn are just speaking their idiot slang.

      Same. I read these and it gets so surreal, I need to share it.

      Dunno if it’s like kids eating tidepods where a few did it and now it’s a national meme, or if this is just the deep basements of Tumblr.

        Much like the tidepod thing when only a very small number of people actually ate them and most were just making shit posts, I don’t think most people literally genuinely want to have sex with many of these things. There is something to be said for enjoying the aesthetic of a kink, but not wanting to actually engage in it.

        Eating Tide pods wasn’t even a bit real. A few children tried to make videos where they pretend to eat them, but simply biting one and spitting it straight out can kill you as they’re so reactive with the tissue in your mouth that they liquify your tongue, flow to your throat, liquify that, flow to your lungs, and liquify enough of those that you suffocate. The media reported this as children eating tide pods for tiktok, so more children tried making fake videos off the back of that, not realising that they were doing the dangerous thing rather than a danger-adjacent safe-wish thing.
