  Imagine all the designer gastroliths. Gucci rocks in your stomach. All the snake oil ones that “cleanse”, “detox”, or have positive ionic charges or something. Someone surely would suggest plastic, or those would be the cheap ones at gas stations. At some point, we would have had people shilling asbestos or uranium gastroliths as good for you. Someone else would pick rocks up along stream beds and sell them as “organic”, nevermind the parasites or other possible diseases attached to them. Someone would push bullshit medical rocks instead of vaccines as cures for diseases.

  Lol, people would make a mess of plain old rocks.

    College bros would compete to swallow the roughest and sharpest ones. There would be a Silicon Valley startup trying to “disrupt” gastroliths with a “smart stomach stone” that gathered data about what you’re eating and sold it to McDonald’s and Kroger. Couples who were really serious would prove it by regurgitating and swapping stones. The “raw gut” movement would be trying to convince people that they didn’t need gastroliths, they just needed to eat softer foods.

    Damn, this was eye-opening. I seem to hate humans quite a bit.

    Bro… smart Gastroliths would definitely be a thing.

    Guarantee that it’s only a matter of time that some snake oil company would release a gastolith that actually gives off positive ions because it contains thorium.

    remember to sterilize your gastroliths, but be careful so you don’t create microfractures that might splinter off in your stomach and kill you! Just stick to smooth polished rocks washed in soap.

    There would definitely be vibrating rocks

  Limestone, calcite and chalk are the same compound as the active ingredient in antacid tablets: calcium carbonate. There isn’t much danger in eating small amounts of it.

    In fact, it’s best practice

    Chalk it up to a feeling but eating a little bit of sand and whatnot is probably good for us

      You know how big an antacid tablet is? About that amount.

    I’m drawing with marker and like pen and stuff, I’m just eating the chalk

      Whenever someone asks for tums I tell them “just eat chalk, it’s the same thing.”

  Btw, our digestive track can’t handle rocks; swallowing rocks is hazardous.

  My ruined mind immediately wonders how porn would be different. Similarly, imagine if we had tails. Would we put underwear on them? Would we shave our tails?

  source

  • gazter@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Oh my fuck, we absolutely would shave our tails, and there is just something so horrid about that thought that how I won’t be able to fucking sleep, thanks, I hate it.

    • etchinghillside@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Just think of all the holes those shaved tails can fit into.

      It mighr not be as bad as you’re thinking. Demon tails usually aren’t depicted as having hair. Also, without the hair the skin would have melanin in it due to sun exposure. Or people would have it spray-tanned

    The Victorian era would have made it so that showing any amount of tail was scandalous and we would all be wearing these bizarre contraptions designed to hide our tails beneath our clothing. Most people would be aware of the fact that keeping our tails tied up was an antiquated puritanical practice that was overall unhealthy for us, but even still, the brave few who chose to let their tale go in public would be looked at as pariahs even by those who ostensibly agreed with the reason behind it.

  If it was that normalized, a lot of the phrasing would have a lot more slang and simpler terminology.
