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.
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
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.
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.
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
And go a tbsp every hour or so. I've seen so many videos of people drinking shots or larger of that stuff and stating they inhabited the bathroom all night.
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.
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.
different strokes and all that. I've never thought that.
then again I worked in a factory that used shortening as a mould release for years. that shit stinks and gets scummy after a few months. Imagine what it smells like after a few decades.
ever hear of popcorn lung? yeah, working there, all the old timers had it. I had only worked there for about 5 years but the smell got into everything.
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.
yeah. the factory was doing diecast parts at 1400° and the shortening was a mould release so the parts would pop out of the dies.
the pressure that those machines push in molten metal plus the high temperature would vaporize the shortening and with 3-12 tons of pressure aerosolize it.
Even after 5 years there I had a bit of a cough, but nothing as bad as the old guys that had been around for 30+ years.
the best ppe we got was cotton uniforms so when the metal sprayed out (which happened daily) would burn and not melt to our skin.
we also got some pretty nice gloves too for grabbing the parts out of the machines. usually they'd come out around 700° and have to go on cooling racks.
I miss forbidden snacks in the first few months... Before people flooded it with pictures of buildings and scenery. God do I not miss reddit near the end...
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.
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.

What makes this a "transistor" battery?
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 210d
it's not so much what it is, but what uses it.
late transistor radios required small high powered batteries. according to Wikipedia 22.5v batteries were popular in early transistor radios.
these 9 volt batteries were popular in powering these late transistor radios, the transistors specifically. hence the name.

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.
