Balls of hard candy shaped and packaged like silica gel!

- jonasdegendt 2y agoEvery time I stumble onto it I have to resist not buying five gimmicky things.
- kridsdale1 2y agoMy favorite is the Short Sided Ruler. Perfect for April 1st.
- fuzzythinker 2y agoGot to ask why?
- lovich 2y agoWhy not?
- fsckboy 2y agoself explanatory, it's dessi-can instead of dessi-cant
- buildsjets 2y agoWhy ask why? Try Bud Dry.

- stavros 2y agoThe big bags of that candy also come with an actual silicagel packet to keep humidity from ruining the candy, so it's always a fun game of "guess what's edible".
- lupusreal 2y agoI'm earnestly surprised those are legal. Here's another idea, sweet fruit juice concentrate in a drain cleaner bottle. What could go wrong?
- pests 2y agoHow about a cleaning chemical packaged to look like fruit juice? Fabulous.
- Fr3ck 2y agoDo they have candy that looks like Tide pods?

- thaumasiotes 1y ago> Benford was brought in to help calculate the probability that someone or something would intrude on the site for as long as it remains dangerous — approximately the next 10,000 years. It turns out, few things (outside of organized religions and ritualized traditions) last that long. What a weird thing to say. No organized religion or ritualized tradition has ever lasted that long.
- saaaaaam 1y agoIn the post-Hellenistic world yes, but I remember reading something about an aboriginal fire ritual that had been practised by indigenous people in Australia for something like 12000 years. I think there are also very long traditions of ritual practice in Native American peoples. Because these traditions were passed down orally or through generational practice they have gradually been lost which is sad. I think there’s also a cave in the Middle East where there is evidence that it had been a ritual centre for 30000 years. And you could probably make a relatively convincing argument that the ‘dying and rising god’ tradition that underpins Christian ritual is just a syncretic continuum going backwards from Jesus Christ to Dionysus to Osiris to Iah to moon deities - the moon being a ‘dying and rising’ entity, which itself underpins a wide tradition of fertility ritual. So although it’s a stretch there is maybe some logic behind the statement!
- thaumasiotes 1y ago> but I remember reading something about an aboriginal fire ritual that had been practised by indigenous people in Australia for something like 12000 years In Australia they're very proud of asserting things like that, but obviously there is no evidence it's true. On the other hand, there's lots of evidence that that doesn't happen. > Because these traditions were passed down orally or through generational practice they have gradually been lost which is sad. The fact that this mechanism of loss exists is already sufficient to prove that a tradition can't last 10,000 years.
