    Suuuuper don't eat that. Heavy weight gear oil is the worst thing I've ever tasted and I had only a tiny amount of it

    Maybe actual excrement tastes worse, but I wasn't curious enough to try tasting that

    We feed our cat a little petroleum jelly to get his insides lubricated. This was prescribed by a vet after he was very constipated. That was an expensive vet visit

    Does that work with humans this is not a medical question this is a personal experience question

    To be clear this is not just straight petroleum jelly it's formulated for cats, but the tube says 98% petroleum jelly with maple flavor

    Interesting they went with a sweet flavour; I always figured since cats are obligate carnivores that sweet things wouldn't be very attractive to them.

    My cats will drink flat soda or energy drinks if you leave them out. My dog hunts down chocolate knowing it will make her puke. Animals are weird.

    Also deer are known to eat mice and birds and eggs and even dead rabbits.

    I once had a friend in school who had a rabbit. He took the vegetables off his burger and threw it in the cage with a couple strips of bacon. The rabbit sat on the tomato, devoured the bacon and then nibbled the lettuce a little bit. I still wonder to this day how a rabbit even digests bacon, let alone gets an appetite for it.

    That rabbit was very lucky to have had such a strong stomach, rabbits in general are unable to digest foods high in protein and gastric upset in rabbits can be fatal. Its one of the scariest things as a rabbit owner.

    Yeah. I don't know how long it lived, at least a year since then, after that who knows. Rabbits aren't very long lived to begin with, and even less so when they sell them at the fair as tiny bunnies not neutered or spayed. Once you know how much work they are it seems kind of criminal.

  • Rabbits aren't very long lived to begin with

    A domestic rabbit has an expected life span of about 8-12 years which I'd say is decently long

    Not neutered or spayed

    But yeah, that will shorten their life span for sure. Rabbits are a lot of work too and they're not for everyone! Most people don't really know or care about the work that's required to really take proper care of them.

    Well, the inventor of Vaseline thought so

    Chesebrough lived to be 96 years old and was such a believer in Vaseline that he claimed to have eaten a spoonful of it every day

    Petroleum jelly would work, but it's not intended for consumption. If you do want petroleum products intended for consumption that will do exactly the same thing, get some mineral oil

    The inventor of vaseline ate a spoonful every day. He promoted it as wonder goo, fit for everything and anything. NGL it is pretty great, on the outside. Well, and a fistful of inches deep as well but no farther.

    Has no one ever smelled bearing grease? Even fresh it smells terrible.

    I got a syringe of same looking red grease for installing a bicycle bottom bracket, (might have been for a fancy front fork?)
    and it smelled vaguely sweet... like almost fructosey enough to make you imagine it was raspberry flavored.

    Diff oil is the worst, especially if it's been heated in a catastrophuck.

    Diff oil that's been burned and over due for a change is probably one of the most vile things on the planet. Even rotting carcasses don't match it.

    That sounds horrible, I guess it's more healthy than bearing grease though.

    How'd they get popcorn lung from that? Did it aerosolize from the us?

    BTW those people who got popcorn lung which ended up coining the term, all were heavy heavy smokers. So yes it's dangerous but it's one of those...well it probably didn't help that they smoked like freight trains.

    I had to do the axles on my trailer this year and honestly this is one of my first thoughts when I opened up the can of Grease as well. It kind of did look tasty.

    It’s funny how our brains react to colors and textures, even when we know it’s not food. Visual perception is wild.

    I literally was going to say that exact thing. It's why they had to ban kinder eggs. Everything from heavy grease to tide pods and small plastic toys looks edible to Americans.

    Cherry pie filling. Which is mostly artificial cherry flavor like used in cough syrup, water, sugar, and corn starch. So... you probably shouldn't eat either one.
