Dunno, sounds more like it was passive aggressive signal that he wasn't interested in the conversation to me.

I feel that, looks like they might taste like one of those carnival lollipops :>

Okay, so I posted initially to correct your false statement that:

Children were never eating tide pods either.

What you said was demonstrably false.

You then tried to walk that back by saying those ingestions were unintentional and posted a link to a consumer reports article about adults with dementia eating tide pods.

Now you are following it up by implying it applies to cognitively delayed teenagers.

Are you saying that your initial statement about children never eating tide pods is true based on this?

Because there are actual videos of (probably) non-cognitively delayed teenagers doing this.

I don't understand why you've chosen this hill to die on. Is this one of those things where you're so sure you're right you can't admit you were wrong? :o

Title of your link:

Liquid Laundry Detergent Pods Pose Lethal Risk for Adults With Dementia

For all those teenagers with dementia XD

How does one unintentionally eat a tide pod? So you tell the guy when you're checking in at the ER "Homie and I were just playing catch with a tide pod and I was yelling at cousin Mabel to get off the dang roof and it just dropped into my mouth and I swallowed. It was a one in a million shot doc. One in a million."

More likely they did it intentionally and didn't want to admit to it to avoid embarrassment. That or one of their dumb buddies thought it'd be funny based on some Tiktok they saw so they dropped one into someone's bowl of Doritos.

Either way all I was doing was correcting a false statement you made about children never eating tide pods. Because they surely did.

Piracy is like an Eye of Sauron thing. You don't get big and ubiquitous like Napster back in the day or you get pounced on like Aragorn clanging his pots and pans. You wanna stay small and quiet undermining the very power they desire like Sam and Frodo :>

Children were never eating tide pods either

Yes they were. Because some people really are that dumb.

The same year, nearly 220 teens were reportedly exposed, and about 25 percent of those cases were intentional, according to data from the American Association of Poison Control Centers.

So far in 2018, there have been 37 reported cases among teenagers — half of them intentional, according to the data.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2018/01/13/teens-are-daring-each-other-to-eat-tide-pods-we-dont-need-to-tell-you-thats-a-bad-idea/

And that's just reported numbers for teenagers. I can almost guarantee you the number of idiots that ate one and didn't know how to call poison control is much higher.

If your "job" is to convince brainless zoomers to eat tide pods or convince them to try DIY plastic surgery with hammers, maybe burning out isn't a bad thing. Maybe we're just seeing nature healing itself.

For instance, directly under Vesper at the local NWS office is a key position – warning coordination meteorologist (WCM) – that has remained vacant since April. The role was most recently held by longtime employee Paul Yura, who took an early retirement package offered to agency workers as the administration worked to reduce the budget and personnel number at the NWS and its parent agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Yura, who KXAN recently reported spent more than half of his 32-year career at the local NWS office, gained tremendous experience understanding local weather patterns while ensuring timely warnings get disseminated to the public in a multitude of ways. The importance of his role as WCM cannot be understated.
