    I had so many of those as a child. In hindsight, having a drawer full of (sometimes damp) animal shaped sponges was weird.

      My brothers and I filled a huge pickle jar with these and some water with the intent to let them sit for a few weeks to see how big they would get. We put them in my brother’s closet and promptly forgot about them for ~5 or so years. One day my brother heard a popping sound in his closet and when he opened it, putrid water was trickling down the closet shelf and soaking the carpet below. Something was growing in the jar and the built up pressure popped the lid, spilling a bunch of shit all over. The smell never quite left his room

      there used to be a subreddit r/goodfaketexts (as an alternative to r/badfaketexts), not sure if lemmy has something similar

    It is very important to reaffirm that you are talking to mom in a private chat with mom by referring to her as “mom” as often as possible.

    Back when my brother still lived with my mom, he, a full-grown adult, had a set of four square whiskey stones made of metal that he kept in the back of the freezer that he would add to a glass of whiskey every now and then. One night my mom texts me a picture of the whiskey stones while he’s not in the house with “I FOUND THESE IN THE FREEZER!” “ARE THESE DRUGS???” “WHAT IS THIS??” Like holy fuck, are you serious? Yeah, sure, they’re drugs, Mom. Cubed metal is all the rage on the streets these days. You just swallow them whole and get high as fuck.

    This conversation is so clumsy and awkward. Why take a good joke post and make it so much worse?

    What would happen if you swallowed one of these pills?

              Great … now she needs to swallow a cat to catch the bird to catch the spider to catch the fly

                She should swallow a hydrogen cyanide capsule that only dissolves if triggered by the detection of radioactive decay.

                Who knows what will happen to the cat?

                Then a dog, then the dog catcher, then the police officer who shows up wondering about the dog catcher… Before you know it, we’re making memes reading the news about a geriatric Hannibal Lecter
