I just got back from a restaurant where I ate about half of a hamburger that, upon reflection, tasted like uncooked ground beef soaked in lighter fluid.

So, a poll!

Poll Predict my future!

Well that sounds just terrible, darlin'. I've done that though: continued to eat something that not only tasted dreadful, but I suspected was just not meant to be consumed...

Rarely to ill effect, if it's any consolation.

I think part of me was hoping that if I just kept eating, it would get better. But it didn't. I haven't gotten sick yet, so I'm hopeful.

I get this mindset that I've invested this much effort, might as well see it through to the bitter end. This is probably not the proper mindset.

Has it been a while? If it's been a while, it probably won't kill you.

[chreesko]

It's been a couple hours. I'm a little afraid to go to sleep, tbh. WHAT IF THIS IS IT?

I read somewhere that food-related poisoning generally takes as long as digestion to kick in if your physiology is normal, so you should be dead by now if you were going to be? And I'm pretty sure you can drink lighter fluid at least once and live.

PS. In case this is IT, I totally love you, man.

How are you feeling now??

[chreesko]

I do not feel great. But I'm still alive, so overall I'm pleased with how it turned out.
