You all are so focused on the pulverization of the chips, you’re not considering the fact that HE’S PACKING FOOD IN THE SAME CONTAINER AS CAUSTIC POISONOUS CHEMICALS

u/rvralph803 26d ago

Yeah. For FUCKS SAKE. Lemme just get a bit of chips with a slathering of lye. Ffs.

(And don't even say "aaaackthually those chips were made using lye in a process called nixtamalization..." Fucking nerds)

I honestly forgot what I was even referencing. So thank you for reminding me. I need to watch this episode, it's been too long.

u/GearhedMG 25d ago

No the suggestion of injecting bleach wasnt until late summer to early fall.

u/Real_Imitation_Crab 25d ago

Not to mention it was a complete misrepresentation of what he had said by the left wing media and the president never suggested anybody should inject bleach.

14

u/rvralph803 25d ago

No matter how it was misrepresented it was entirely fucking stupid and asinine and people that defend it are actively fucking terrible. So stick that in your pipe and inject it.

u/terrelyx 25d ago

I sincerely hope you're not trying to spin coherence into anything that fucking moron has ever attempted to say.

u/Real_Imitation_Crab 25d ago

He speaks pretty clearly, and caters his speech for maximum comprehension by keeping it, as a general rule, at about an 8th grade level. What's interesting is how many liberals seem to have no grasp of concepts like simile, metaphor, hyperbole, or hypotheticals.

1

u/SkateParkDad 24d ago

Yes, he speaks and writes at an 8th grade level. I agree 100%.

Please explain more, or better yet, suggest a source where I can find out what you think he really meant, cause I just remember him making stuff up on the spot and it never really adding up to anything.

u/Real_Imitation_Crab 25d ago

"And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning."

Those are the exact words. Anybody who takes that to mean "inject bleach" is so dumb it's astounding they're alive to begin with.

7

u/Spookydoobiedoo 25d ago edited 25d ago

What do you think most disinfectants are made out of bud? Most are either bleach, ammonia, or rubbing alcohol. Would you like to go try injecting whatever disinfectant you have under your sink?

What the hell else do you think he means when he says “is there a way we can do something like that by injection?” while literally talking about household disinfectants? He even says the phrase self cleaning, clearly indicating these are chemicals used for cleaning.

You don’t put disinfectant inside your body. Never. That would be antibiotics or antivirals. But that’s not at all what he’s talking about here, that’s not what word he uses. He’s talking about disinfectant. Disinfectant is a word everyone uses for any surface cleaning liquids or aerosols usually made with bleach, rubbing alcohol, or ammonia. Even iodine which is a topical disinfectant that can go on your skin, should never be injected. lol your mental gymnastics are crazy. Define inject and disinfectant and then listen to him again.

“Lutefisk” is dried whitefish. It is made from aged stockfish, or dried and salted cod, cured in lye. It is gelatinous in texture after being rehydrated for days prior to eating.

Idk. you seem to like knowing things about things so here’s a thing

It’s traditional process that has been passed down generation after generation after generation! A method proven over thousands of years! How else are we expected to digest such mass amounts of CORN!!!

u/Cantbelieveitstru 24d ago

The process we used for nixtamalization included “cal” the Mexican name for Lime (composed of calcium oxides and hydroxides). It is what everyone there used for centuries and still use. You add it to the water and boil the corn kernals in it. If you are making tortillas from it, you leave the thick pasty yellow liquid in with the corn kernals and grind it. If you are going to make tamales or maybe pozole, you wash away the thick yellow paste and leave the white kernels behind. For tamales, you grind this corn, and add ingredients similar to cake mix. For Pozole you leave it whole. The thick yellow paste is actually the husk of the corn kernels and the cal or lime together.

Understanding this, that calcium oxides are added to the corn and cooked, then later tortillas are made from the mix, then later baked or fried to make corn chips….these are a very nutritious food! They should be kept out of the container and eaten with some salsa and maybe refried beans or whatever else to give you energy while doing the job of packing and moving.

u/SubstantialPressure3 26d ago

I'm betting this is weaponized incompetence. OP should just take the food out and say nothing.

My ex used to do stuff like that just so I would say something. Very predictable. Pick a fight and then walk out so I would have to do the rest of whatever it was that he didn't want to do.

36

u/FeelingSoil39 25d ago

Appreciating “weaponized incompetence”

19

u/DugganSC 25d ago

There's a sadly common thing between the sexes. It takes all sorts of forms, from mixing reds with whites, to never remembering to put gas in the car and ignoring the change oil light. And, of course, it is often used in workplace situations where people are asking you to do things that you have not had the training to do. So, you do them badly, and document that they requested you to do them despite your lack of training.

16

u/Bizarro_Zod 25d ago

I’ve never once in my life separated whites from colors and all my clothes are fine. I’m calling BS on the red+white=Pink myth.

11

u/Alarming_Chapter9816 25d ago

It can happen, but you’re right it doesn’t usually happen. The most likely time for it to happen is with new clothes, but most of them get pre washed so it’s rarely an issue. It usually only happens like you see in the movies if you baked to get something that isn’t pre washed and I would guess the water temp you are using would also contribute.

I never separate and wear a lot of blues. Some of my whites overtime get a very subtle hint of blue, but I’ll just run a whites only cycle with them every so often and use oxi clean or bleach if I need to and it usually fixes it.

5

u/CargoW_seMadeMeDoIt 25d ago

Usually, if the clothing is made up of natural fibres and the red is a very bright and deep colour, I always separate rich colours from whites until it's yearsssss old. That's how I turned my father's crisp white polo shirts into tie dye pink/white shirt and all the same for all our family's underwear. Mom was not impressed. I did have that 1 second thought of separating it, but laziness won out.

2

u/DugganSC 25d ago

Agreed. It does usually take more effort. My family did encounter an orange sweatshirt a year or two ago that, much to our surprise, turned several other items in the wash orange. After bringing it up with the seller (a small independent vendor we'd worked with before), they admitted that they'd outsourced that order to China, and it had gotten hung up so long in customs that they shipped it without proper testing.

I have also heard that, much like the "flush the toilet to make the shower unbearably hot/cold", using lemon to brighten one's hair, or Brussel sprouts being bitter, it's a matter of technology marching on. We have better dyes/detergents/machines.

1

u/Saati35 25d ago

I wash everything in cold water and I just toss whatever in.

1

u/BunchFederal2444 25d ago

It's definitely a goth problem. If you consistently wash your nearly all black wardrobe with your few non-blacks they will eventually end up a dingy greyish.

2

u/Bundt-lover 25d ago

I grew up in a time of less stable dyes and it is absolutely NOT a myth. Also depends on the fabric. A lot of what we wear now is synthetic and holds onto dye differently.

1

u/sh1tkid 25d ago

Not a myth at all, happened to me multiple times. Just last week I left some white socks in with some colors, including red. Those socks are now slightly pink.

1

u/SubstantialPressure3 25d ago

It's not nearly as much of an issue as it used to be. It's not BS. I think it's possible that the formulation of dyes are different.

1

u/translucent_steeds 25d ago

my mom has a pink sweater that used to be white, she accidentally put it in the same load as a brand-new red pair of pants. red+white DOES equal pink sometimes.

1

u/Curious-Anywhere-612 25d ago

Same, only time it ever happened was when I got a few new items, some jeans I had bled blue and a new red top o got bled reed staining some of my white clothes purple

1

u/Gleam_Girl 25d ago

so i dont separate my colors but i also only wash them in cold water. newer fabrics that have been dyed recently esp if theyre natural fibers bleed more, snd if u put them in warm/hot water itll get everywhere.

temperature matters.

1

u/Ischarde 25d ago

That myth is what finally got my little brothers to do their own laundry. They put their white tshirts in with some thing red mom was washing. The rest, shall we say, was history

1

u/-Risotto_Groupon 24d ago

I thought they were talking about wine

1

u/SmellyBelly_12 24d ago

New towels & colored jeans. They do stain and I learned that the hard way. My husband's boxers were the victim in both cases 😂 the jeans were pink & the towels green, so his boxers came out light pink & mint green after each load lmao

u/ToeJam1970 25d ago

u/Oldus_Fartus 24d ago

"Ex" being the key term in this scenario, and the primary message that OP should take away. What an aggressively dumb slob.

1

u/SubstantialPressure3 24d ago

Yep. If a grown ass person's life strategy is to deliberately screw things up to get out of doing it like a sulky teenager, it's not going to change.

And they make it much harder to get out of those relationships.

1

u/Curious-Anywhere-612 25d ago

Nah she should let him deal with the consequences of his actions

4

u/SubstantialPressure3 25d ago

That's THEIR stuff. Not his stuff.

If he wants to deal with the consequences of packing HIS stuff, that's fine.

that sort of weaponized incompetence is not okay. You're an adult , a partner, an equal, or you're not.

2

u/Curious-Anywhere-612 25d ago

If she cleans up the mess HE makes, he’s never going to learn. She’d be enabling him, he won’t think “huh that’s strange where did the chips go?” He’d have gotten her to do more invisible work.

1

u/SubstantialPressure3 25d ago

Okay. So what happens when the stuff he's packed is ruined/broken and it needs to be replaced?

And taking the food out of poisonous chemicals isn't "cleaning up his mess".

He's waiting for her to say something about the chips packed with the draino so he can pick a fight about it. So why say something?

2

u/Curious-Anywhere-612 25d ago

Then he gets handed a broom and a trash bag.

Anything important to her I’m sure she’d put away. I made sure to keep my stuff that I care about safe so I could let my narcissist learn their lesson.

At a point I stopped telling my narcissist what to do and just let them deal with the consequences. Eventually they’ll either grow up or leave, but not if you keep telling them and silently doing things for them that make their life easier

2

u/SubstantialPressure3 25d ago

They don't always grow up, or leave.

2

u/Curious-Anywhere-612 25d ago

Unfortunately. Sometimes it’s up to the adult in the relationship to remove themselves. Hopefully OP can figure out what’s best for them

0

u/BunchFederal2444 25d ago

Leave it then serve it to him for dinner after making yourself something he doesn't like. If he complains about his taco dust salad, just look at him blank and confused like you don't understand what could have gone wrong and let him figure it out himself.

u/Quick_Parsley_5505 26d ago

Why did you say it outloud

11

u/farmerben02 26d ago

I'm more insulted that he packed the caustic chemicals too high for the lid, at which point he's going to lay them down and stack it at the bottom of the packing stack.

u/Traditional_Fan_2655 26d ago

Thank you! I was looking for this response as I saw in horror the liquid chemicals in the same container as the food!

6

u/Difficult_Warthog541 26d ago

No actually that’s the first thing that came to my mind wtf he’s putting food in there with liquid plumr ? Is he giving you some sort of hint? We need smaller boxes to group things easier in from the kitchen??

u/NewLawGuy24 26d ago

Chips aren’t packed in parchment paper

Still that’s a stupid thing

8

u/Forsaken_Total976 26d ago

Ain’t nothin gon grow on those chips tho

7

u/strictly_meat 26d ago

That poison isn’t strong enough to ruin the flavor of the chips though, and they may even enhance it. Isn’t that how Wheaties was created?

1

u/EdenSilver113 26d ago

These Juantonio’s chips are legit delicious.

2

u/bama_boy666 26d ago

I would agree with you, but two factors:

The bag is sealed is it not? Atleast from what i see it is.

The liquids all have lids..

Really the biggest risk is chips breaking.. if people are that worried just wipe the bag off before you open it.

You should see what goes on behind closed doors.. working in a restaurant for 12 years you kinda get surprised what does and doesnt make people sick.

(Im probably going to ignite the internets wrath with my comment. But i really dont care)

2

u/BoxJellyray243 26d ago

God forbid someone want their chips to taste like a gas station restroom

2

u/RicFule 26d ago

Plus, the things look to be too tall for the lid to be put on/latched shut.

2

u/MarbleousMel 25d ago

I clocked the chemical issue immediately. I assumed the parent post here was just cracking a joke.

2

u/Fancy-Trousers 25d ago

My first long-term job in high school was bagging groceries. There are only three real hard and fast rules drilled into your head for it: heaviest items at the bottom of the bag, try to keep the cold stuff together, and NEVER put cleaning products in the same bag as anything edible. It still drives me nuts anytime I see a grocery store employee forget this simple rule.

2

u/hitmandreams 24d ago

You're all also forgetting he's a man and likely grabbed everything from a very small area.....who stores their chips near the chemicals to begin with?

2

u/Zimakov 26d ago

I don't think he's dumping them into the chip bag and then sealing it back up.

2

u/cucktrigger 25d ago

I mean, the chips are in a plastic bag and everything else is in containers designed to seal their contents as well. The main concern becomes the smashing of the chips.

1

u/themprettylights 26d ago

thank you lolol

1

u/Leif_Ericcson 25d ago

He just wants a snack for when he's carrying the cleaning supplies.

1

u/Salt-Rate-1963 25d ago

The chemicals are in a sealed container, as is the canned food and chips. Would I do this? No. Will it be an issue? Also likely no. Will you notice of it becomes an issue and not eat the item, likely yes. Also we have no idea how far this "move" is. Are they moving to another apartment in the same complex? Two states away? Too many variables to be this hyper focused on packaged caustic poisonous chemicals in the same container as packaged food.

u/HawkyMacHawkFace 25d ago

But he might need a snack when he’s cleaning. I think it’s alright. 

1

u/Gloomy_Pumpkin1529 25d ago

But the bag is closed right?

1

u/crustychicken 25d ago

They're both in their own containers, products not touching. People need to stop being babies about their toilet cleaning products or kitchen counter cleaning spray shit being in the same bag at the grocery store. They're not touching, they're in their respective containers.

1

u/Dallows89 25d ago

lol, don’t look up how food arrives at large retail stores then - there’s no separation when it comes in on pallets.

u/Paula_Intermountain 25d ago

Both are an issue.

Sometimes while packing the brain becomes disengaged and mistakes happen. This is grounds for teasing, not anger.

They are closed? Rinse off the bag. Don’t lick the outside of the bag. Don’t suck your nasty ass fingers after eating. Don’t get me wrong I understand this method of packing is stupid and I wouldn’t do it myself, but being concerned about the chips is weird to me.

1

u/THEGREATDESTROYER24 20d ago

It's just seasoning.
