What Modern Day Poison People Ready To Take?

[@FocusedOnDestiny]

The lack of self awareness in the first story is amazing.

[@Amdisvt]

Soda. Definitely soda.

[@crotchwolf1929]

I went cold turkey on soda at the beginning of last month for health reasons and I'm pretty sure I'm dealing with withdrawal symptoms from drinking it all the time. Like, the cafeteria at my workplace has an entire cooler that's just soda and I was just staring at it on Friday for a few seconds with my mouth watering.

[@extremefalcon]

Part of me is glad I don't have cable mainly because it is too expensive. In turn, it helped reduce how much of the news I watch, but there were other shows I wanted to continue to watch. My finances aren't the best right now due to student debt, car payments, and rent.

[@silverthehero1295]

Sugar. I’ve been trying to reduce how much of it I eat, but it doesn’t help that it’s everywhere.

[@extremefalcon]

Same here. The only sugar that I have is whatever in the cereal I have. That's about as much sugar I'll have every day other than what is naturally in other foods.

[@danielspoon1234]

Sweetners

[@renielfanini9879]

This! One can get all the sugar we need from fruits and vegetables. The problem is the crazyamountt of added sugars in foods. ex Now one serving of sodas has a crazy amount of added sugars. something like 80 percent of your daily intake. It wasn't easy to leave added sugars because that is the point of companies nowadays. But it is possible.

[@bellegold2303]

Media in general, processed food contains a lot of chemicals that your body can’t process, sodas are horrible for you same with energy drinks. And yet as I type this, I am drinking an energy drink.

9:20 If you want to FINALLY get to story 2. No smack against providing additional elaboration, but I find the first story in these videos getting longer and longer and dragging on more and more.

[@owenkellogg3130]

9:20?!?! Screw that, thumbs down, I'm out. I don't watch these videos for the narrator's commentary. This channel's getting ridiculous.

[@gaveintothedarkness]

@@owenkellogg3130 The narrators commentary is like 20 seconds. Its the first story going wayyyyyy to long and going into tangents that are way of topic.

[@PikalaxALT]

The irony of clustertruck playing in the background during story 3 is not lost on me.

[@iloveanimemidriff]

3:30 - older people grew up in a time when the TV was largely the one single and only information medium. Even if they know there are many other information outlets today, they just gravitate towards the good old TV they grew up with. Same reason why older millennials are more likely to torrent stuff rather than paying Netflix or Spotify. Also, they have a cultural commandment to always watch the news, because they grew up being told they were supposed to be always informed about what happens in the world (especially when they were young and World War 3 could start any time), and TV news fulfilled that.

[@matthewmubiru5495]

I am kind of like the first one, but it’s only with my grandpa my grandma’s fine and she likes doing activities

[@SewardWriter]

High fructose corn syrup.

[@leobullis3980]

9 minutes 20 seconds for one story is much longer than it needs to be.

[@waywardwriterryu7185]

I don't think what a lot of people realize is that A LOT of stuff we eat is literal poison that is either so weak or just plain doesn't work on humans, some spicy plants such as jalapenos and such evolved to be poisonous to make it so that small animals wouldn't be tempted to eat them so that they can mature properly, meanwhile humans eat them and we love the way the poison tastes, there is also the edible branch of the night shade family of plants aka tomatos though in this case they don't actually contain a poisonous chemical. to list off a small list without going into much detail there is also fugu (simpsons did an episode on this), rhubarb (the leaves are poisonous while the stalk is edible) chocolate (though its again only fatal to animals because we can tolerate the poisonous element) and many other things. I know this video is people critiquing very unhealthy foods and calling it poison but we also do it literally without thinking about it because it doesn't hurt us. p.s. I hate that i can recognize what the thumbnail is traced off of

[@extremefalcon]

Then there's puffer fish. Fine to dolphins but deadly to humans unless you know how to properly remove the toxins. Not sure if other aquatic life can tolerate them, just dolphins since they get a high off of it.

[@kimhohlmayer7018]

You can’t mention David Brinkley without mentioning Chet Huntley. I can still remember being at my grandparents’ house and their news show came on. I can still here the theme music and see them in black and white on the screen.

[@spiriteddefect5125]

Mainstream media

[@dawnsmith1871]

16:13 That sounds like something an AI would say. 😉

[@bobbylibertini]

I'm a boomer- I don't have TV ...you couldn't pay me to watch "the news", and I can't even stand to be around a active TV. TV has ruined our society/culture!

[@avrahamnachshonbookatz9992]

2:33 this whole rant. It's true. I find it infuriating when CNN and MSNBC do this.

[@kelly2631]

It's crazy how almost everything here is commercialized and seen as a part of society.

[@iloveanimemidriff]

16:10 - well, at least you just do it because gameplay footage is a mildly interesting background xD

[@robertgraybeard3750]

Story 4 - this is another restatement of the old newspaper addage: "If it bleeds it leads, it leads." It's a built in instinct, our ancestorws had descendants because they were constantly on the aleert for danger.

[@zajlord2930]

story 2: 9:19

[@Akusick]

Most ready to eat "food" qualifies.

[@CynicalButOptimistic]

Why? Why did this video come out when I'm having a meltdown over my best friend's addiction?

[@SewardWriter]

(HUG) You gonna be ok, dude?

[@CynicalButOptimistic]

@@SewardWriter Yeah. Thanks for the thought

[@SewardWriter]

@@CynicalButOptimistic NP! Give your friend my best. 💖

[@littlepeeper9223]

Botox 🙂

[@SewardWriter]

Botox is absolutely INSANE as a migraine treatment. It's used for a number of medical conditions. The cosmetic use came later. Amazing what we can do with some of the deadliest toxins in the world. If you want a fascinating one few people know about, look up ziconotide.

[@66Louii99]

I don't know your definition for 'smeg' but in the UK it's a reference to a certain bodily fluid in the nether region of a male who doesn't wash 🫣 the amount of times it's repeated it's just throwing me off and making me feel abit sick lmao (Edit... Google smegma for more information) 😅

[@SewardWriter]

IKR? It's hilarious and disgusting.

[@gaveintothedarkness]

Thats why is so funny :)

[@axelinedgelord4459]

alcohol is literally a weak poison.

[@pollall2793]

Pornography, literally has the same addictive properties of cocaine, but it’s extremely taboo to so much as criticize it.

[@starbird3939]

High fructose corn syrup. Apparently it is as bad as alcohol on the liver?

[@jonmcknight18]

Alcohol there is a thing called alcohol poisoning because your body can't process it

[@danielspoon1234]

Australia and the jabbaroony

[@eisenfell2818]

please stop using the word "smeg", its really not a word you want to associate with your uploads

[@danielspoon1234]

Food made in china

[@kickbackster]

Stop calling adults boomers,

[@GamerGirl1331]

Sorry, but with Story 1? Older people are manipulated but so are younger people. And I’m a younger person who sees them whipped into a fury just as fast. News is definitely toxic, but the news people get on social media/trash magazines is typically just as bad as the 24/7 news coverages

[@marquackerssnackers2335]

Lol news?

[@AshendrisSilvermist]

Poisoning the mind with far right and far left reports that incite hate, fear, and paranoia. It's definitely a problem in the US.

[@SewardWriter]

Oh, boy, kiddo.

[@spectra1096]

Woke culture

[@nanoglitch6693]

Found the politicultist. 🤡

[@SewardWriter]

Awareness of the difficulties others face is a toxin. Right. I feel like you don't know what "woke" means. Don't bother replying.

[@ZombiieePanda]

Sugar

[@KamoKowboy]

The covid vaccine

[@TattedIrishxxx]

So does that mean the flu, MMR, Polio… so all of these are bad too, right?
