That time I realized the '5 second rule' is just something we tell ourselves to feel better about eating floor food
I used to grab a chip off the kitchen floor and eat it without thinking, but after watching my dog lick the same spot 30 seconds earlier last week, I started wondering how many other dumb rules we just accept without questioning them, so has anyone else had a moment where you suddenly saw through something you always just went along with?

quoting "wouldve puked right there" - come on man it cant be that bad. people act like a little discomfort is the end of the world. i mean yeah 30 seconds isnt fun but youd survive it. your body doesnt just auto eject everything the second things get a bit unpleasant.

Oh absolutely, same here. Had a similar thing happen at a food festival once and people acted like I was gonna die. You gag, you swallow it down, and you move on with your life. Not that big of a deal.
