A lot of psychoactive medicines will literally just kill you if you eat grapefruit lol.
In the one medication I know about, grapefruit prevents your body from filtering the medication out of your blood, eventually causing the levels in your blood to become lethal

You don't have to eat it, it's good for other... activities.

I can't decide if this is a grapefruit hating joke or an "in this economy?" joke

It’s a “everyone is on some sort of antidepressant “ joke, at least to me.

Imagine if you were being held at gun point and the only way to save your life was to tell a joke, and this was the joke you chose to tell.

Well at least my activated charcoal infused orange juice doesn’t affect anything.
…
It doesn’t affect anything, right?

On the topic of drug interactions, make sure you are not taking Allegra for allergies. Oh, wait -- you said activated charcoal? Nevermind.

sometimes I think the stereotype of Americans being overweight and slovenly is an exaggeration, but then I see shit like this.
ickplant@lemmy.world · 27 pts · 177d
It’s literally a joke about how grapefruit interacts poorly with medications, but ok.

It's lovely when someone shows their inability to stop and think by making blatantly mindless comments.
It's lovely because it's absolutely hilarious.
