    Damn our hubris. We’ve gotten modern medicine completely wrong. We’ve been trying to minimize our very salvation.

    So basically the chocolatey version of the infamous sugar-free Haribo gummy bears?

    If I were a billionaire, I’d make this a real product. I’d make real commercials for it. Weird commercials. The tagline would be “Go poop yourself!”

    I wouldn’t worry about sales. But I’d act like I cared deeply. My commercials would become increasingly more and more deranged.

    Like imagine if I hired Alex Jones to eat 6 buckets of chicken, shirtless, in a room that’s 120 degrees. Then hired a bunch of body builders to come hold him down and slap his face, and tickle his feet for 16 hours until he’s exausted, and pissed off. Then I’d tell him we’re doing another 16 hours unless he screams into the camera, and records a commercial to plead with america to buy the poop pills.

    And you don’t see any of the prep work. You just see a shirtless, sweaty, red faced desprate Alex Jones yelling “YOU GOTTA POOP YOURSELF!!! PLEASE!!! I CAN’T TAKE ANYMORE!!! CONSUME THESE PILLS!!! GO POOP YOURSELF!!!”

    And the next week it would be Kenny from south park. Saying 2 minutes of something you can’t understand. Followed by him pooping and exploding.

    And you go to the store, and this exact box, is a real product being sold for $24.99.

    And every week is another celebrity going nuts, and screaming that everybody needs to poop more.

    I’d take a massive loss. It would only be done to entertain myself, and gaslight everyone.

      see this is one of the main things I don’t understand about real-world ultra-rich people, these individuals have a warped or nonexistent capacity for whimsy. If I had more money than I could feasibly spend and for whatever reason could not or would not donate it, then by god I should at least be making the world a more entertaining place to live in.

      Instead they’re all techbro douches and old money who can seemingly only purchase indulgent material goods for themselves or, if they choose to contribute to greater society, do so negatively, like Thiel and Musk. About the closest Musk ever came was sending his Tesla to space, that was whimsical-rich-guy-behavior and probably the height of his popularity. Everything else in recent memory that the obscenely wealthy have done has been either forgettable and boring or actively harmful to society.

      in summary, we need fewer Bond villains, more Austin Powers.
