        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.

          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.

        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.

          The main warning is because it’s commonly shipped with food, and even though it’s not toxic, it’s certainly not edible. So it’s to stop people from eating it.

            Yeah, I did some googling after I commented and apparently amorphous silica gel is actually a safe food additive according to the FDA

      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.

        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.

      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.

      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.

        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.

      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.

          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.

    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.
