> As for the vitamins and supplements, we are halting their sale immediately. Utilitarian logic dictates that if we can extend even one CEO’s life by 10 minutes, diluting these miracle elixirs for public consumption is an unethical waste. Instead, we plan to collect the entire stock of the InfoWars warehouses into a large vat and boil the contents down into a single candy bar–sized omnivitamin that one executive (I will not name names) may eat in order to increase his power and perhaps become immortal.*
- ziddoap 2y agoFunny, for sure, but does not explain what they will be doing in reality.
- SauciestGNU 2y agoThey probably don't want to be in the business of selling unregulated, scammy, and potentially dangerous goods. They might destroy the merch. Who knows.
- rsynnott 2y agoI'd assume destroy, maybe keep a bit for novelty value. Like, they're not going to resell it, you'd assume.
- dmvdoug 2y agoThere were a bunch of suggestions on the bluesky thread that they should donate samples of them to researchers so that they could figure out what was actually in the fucking things.
- talldayo 2y agoThat, or you didn't take them seriously enough. Bring me the candy bar!

- ziddoap 2y agoAh, that explains it. They can test them on animals. Thanks!
- Terr_ 2y agoNo, that would be unethical, running the risk of healing the animals and helping them live longer lives without a high level of informed consent that only animals deserve. They will instead receive a set of carefully designed nocebos. The real supplements will be shipped needy areas in developing countries and then strategically withheld from anyone that desires them.
