I've just found out there's apparently a NEW VIRAL CRAZE that those wacky teens are doing.

Apparently the new "challenge" is eating a laundry pod.

I wish I could be surprised but after the "let me set myself on fire" and "let me throw boiling water in the air" challenges, this isn't really surprising to me.

He's seriously suing so that he can "well, actually" one of the biggest companies in the world.

Bits from the actual lawsuit:

quote:

Google furnishes a large number of internal mailing lists catering to employees with alternative lifestyles, including furries, polygamy, transgenderism, and plurality, for the purpose of discussing sexual topics. The only lifestyle that seems to not be openly discussed on Google�s internal forums is traditional heterosexual monogamy.

...

For instance, an employee who sexually identifies as �a yellow-scaled wingless dragonkin� and �an expansive ornate building� presented a talk entitled �Living as a Plural Being� at an internal company event

Salt the earth.

I really hoped you were joking, but nope. Once again, I'm left wondering if I'm the weird one, because the article opens with "You shouldn�t eat Tide Pods, despite the memes. But it�s not weird to want to." Isn't it? I would have said it's very weird to want to eat soap.

quote:

Admit it: don�t you kind of want to know what a Tide Pod tastes like?

No. Pretty sure they've got a strong soapy taste. I don't feel the need to confirm this.

quote:

The desire to taste Tide Pods, even as a joke, is the same one that makes people curious about drinking shampoo or eating bath bombs

I have never felt either of those desires.

Have these people never accidentally got a soap bubble in their mouth? Was that not enough to put them off the whole concept of eating soap?

Does the throat count as soft?

Actually, I wonder why more people don't do throat punches to start off instead of just smacking the jaw. You can have an iron jaw, but nothing will stop you from dropping from getting hit in the neck. Is it a fear of a murder charge?

Realistically because it's really hard to hit someone in the neck. Most strikes can be blocked by lowering your chin.

Punching someone in the head is just a lot easier than punching them in the throat. You can straight lay someone out punching them in the jaw but it's hard. Just landing any shots that do any sort of damage is tricky enough.

Laundry pods ping a lot of the factors (colorful, pleasant to touch, soft texture under firm skin, possibly scented nice) our stupid-rear end lizard brains think of as 'yummy yummy in my tummy'. So it's not actually that weird to get an intrusive thought of 'eat the pod' from the stupid part of your brain, but mostly everyone knows it's not only poisonous but would taste horrible.

Yeah, that's... that's the joke? That tide pods superficially resemble fruit? It's a meme where people play up their desire to eat laundry pods because it's a terrible idea.
