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
You’re acting like the most “well acsually” person ever. You see the word “never” and don’t understand that people routinely use this word colloquially not to literally mean “there was zero cases in history of humanity”. Maybe they shouldn’t do that, maybe people should use “almost never” to mean “almost never”, but they aren’t.
If you want to engage with meaning of what the person you’re arguing was saying, instead of hanging up on a technical usage of the word, their point was that sensationalist media and crazy usually religiously motivated groups love misunderstanding teenagers stupid humour, and making a big panic out of basically nothing. All the kids who really physically put tide pods in their mouths even for a second for a stupid video, can fit into one short bus. But the panic around it was so widespread, you could get an impression that everyone is popping them like tic tacs. That is a classic example of a moral panic.
> How does one unintentionally eat a tide pod?
Title of your link:
For all those teenagers with dementia XD
Did you know that cognitively delayed teenagers exist?
Check real quick - I think “gullible” is written on your ceiling. Watch out, I hear human traffickers are putting fentanyl laced roses on car doors.
Okay, so I posted initially to correct your false statement that:
What you said was demonstrably false.
