But just the ones that listen to Donald Trump so... *shrug* -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 25, 14:56 1
- They may be morons, Robin. They are still human beings. - Oldtimey Batman Apr 25, 15:52
What was the average rate of tide pod ingestion last year? -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 25, 14:47
Compared to a year ago. I wouldn't say it's related to Trump unless it's compared to the past month. People are using cleaners more than usual this y -- nm - Ender Apr 25, 14:44 6
- "Using" is not supposed to be "ingesting." -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 14:56 4
  - Yes, but more using naturally leads to more accidental ingestion. -- nm - Ender Apr 25, 14:58 3
    - It really doesn't. Accidental ingestion is hard. -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 15:22 2
      - a. kids getting into bottles that are normally put away b. people using combinations like bleach plus something that makes clorine gas -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 25, 16:50
      - That's ridiculous and illogical. -- nm - Ender Apr 25, 15:36
- I thought it mentioned that last year Lysol (or cleansers) were not a factor. -- nm - VMan Apr 25, 14:53
Were any on 5th Avenue? -- nm - TWuG Apr 25, 14:34 1
- Likely not. Even Trump, as he mentions now and then, is having trouble finding people to shoot there. -- nm* - VMan Apr 25, 15:05
nine were specifically about possible exposure to Lysol. Ten were in regards to bleach and 11 about household cleaners in general -- nm - Beaker Apr 25, 14:12 4
- Jeebus, and he won't bat an eyelash. -- nm - VMan Apr 25, 14:15 3
  - They're just New York Librulz, V. -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 14:43 2
    - To me. this is truly becoming a Darwinian disease. It's a tragedy but, in some cases harder and harder to have sympathy. Which scares me. - VMan Apr 25, 14:52 1
      - same here. -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 14:56
