Now we have government-funded human trafficking to concentration camps where women get raped by the worst scum this administration could find. I wonder where we'd be if the popular vote was what mattered in 2000.

government-funded human trafficking to concentration camps
Don't forget that the human trafficking doesn't just go to the camps. Kids go missing from these camps, too! And it's all managed by the Epstein-class, which I'm sure is just a coincidence.

Fun fact, tide pods are overwhelmingly eaten by the elderly and mentally unwell, genuinely confusing it with candy or food. When the story came out everyone read the headline and not the actual article so it became a "challenge".
I'm moderately convinced the challenge was a pr stunt from corporate to change the conversation from the disabled being victimized to children being dumb.

McDonald's did it with that famous coffee lawsuit. It does sounds ridiculous on a first glance but it was anything but. The women was elderly and her crotch was so badly burned the skin melted together and fused her vagina shut. McDonald's argued it was her fault for not getting out of the car and entirely undressed in something like 15 seconds to prevent further burn. They got like 20% of the lawsuit knocked off because of that.
16
u/3AMZen Jul 28 '26
Yeah the way that story was spun and shared, people still bring it up to this day like " it's ridiculous, you can sue anyone for anything, you can sue McDonald's if your coffee is too hot!" To which I'll wail " THE COFFEE WAS OVER 100° C, THE MCDONALD'S LOCATION HAD BEEN REPEATEDLY WARNED THAT IT WAS DANGEROUSLY HOT, IT LITERALLY MELTED HER FUCKING SKIN OFF"
so yeah ditto Tide pods. Go figure that's the key for both of them is to let listeners have a smug sense of superiority over the actual victims so they don't bother to look any closer at the scenario

I did this once, as a teenager in my first flat, which is the reason I didn't do it twice.
We aimed a rocket out of the kitchen window and it exited without any issues, but the room immediately filled with smoke, the alarms all went off and we had to evacuate an entire building... I would absolutely describe my younger self as "feral".

So the other stories were from people at huge concerts like Olivia Rodrigo, and wearing diapers in the audience because they didn’t want to lose their spot.
This story is about a medical emergency, but the “journalists” are using the previous story’s popularity to aid in the sensationalizing of this event.
There is no trend, as much as media wants you to think, because then they can write more stories relating to it. 💩

u/Katie1230 Jul 28 '26
OK but even if it was a medical emergency, you don't shake the log out of your pants into the pit and try to kick it out of the way. You skedaddle to the bathroom. You do everything in your power to not get shit everywhere.

u/jesbiil Jul 29 '26
It is possible they were sober but yea I'm going with a bit drunk since their 'fix' to this situation was:
Rather than stepping away immediately, the individual attempted to move the mess with his foot, which only spread it further across the moshpit.

Yeah a medical emergency would have been a seizure or heart attack - in which case pooping yourself is out of your control and not your fault, but also other people would have probably given space already, not to mention should be more worried about the patient….
This was not a medical emergency.

I saw Dillinger around 2005 and the vocalist breathed fire over the front rows without getting permission from the venue first. Security scrambled to the stage to try and stop him, but he took a cymbal from the drum kit and bent it in half on a pillar so they backed off. Great show.

I’ve spent an entire day at the front of a festival crowd so I could be against the barrier for My Chemical Romance with zero issues. I was there with my friend for about 8-10 hours and we also didn’t shit herself and no one else around us did either. The only thing I was noticing was the smell of weed in the air like at any good festival.

Imodium is actually a quite potent opioid, but it doesn't readily cross the blood-brain barrier. So it won't really get you high, just causes the opioid related constipation.
