Other than failing to meet made-for-human-consumption safety standards, and I'm not saying that's a minor thing, is there anything wrong with this?

Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

If my crazy horse woman grandmother is anything to go by, no not really?
Just kinda risky
So... How long until he die?
I have a friend who actually got some and used a bit of it, though he did make sure to do the proper dosing calculations for his body mass so he didn't take way too much (which, from what I've seen online is the main danger with it, besides quality control.) Apparently it does actually taste like apples lol
Wait until this guy learns about buying salt, sugar, and citric acid in bulk.
I've personally been drinking GFuel. It tastes better than gatorade and does more for me overall. I will say, there's no real "benefit" to branded electrolyte drinks in my experience. It's not hard to get a flavor syrup of your choosing and a flavorless bulk electrolyte powder (human-grade / food-grade), and mix the drink yourself.
That's the most damning thing about this to me. While there's an update that points out his worst conspiracy theories, I can't say he's wrong on every level. Gatorade is currently a PepsiCo product (from when they bought Quaker, who bought that part of Van Camp when the rest went to ConAgra). It's far removed from the college drink made by chem nerds for their jock friends. You don't need to support PepsiCo as a consumer. You can get the same stuff and make your own drinks for less money and generally supporting smaller companies closer to the production phase of the supply chain.
Just please don't use animal feed to do it, unless you very specifically know what you're doing.
Its got what plants crave!
Ivermectin?
Welcome to Costco I love you
I love you too, mommy Costco. Wait, what are you doing to my peepee? Everyone in the electronics section is looking, mommy. Wait, don't stop. It feels so good, mommy. Please don't stop.
One of my family members got into the “blue-green algae” fad (about 5 years after it fell out of mainstream). It was too expensive so they bought the horse algae from veterinarian supply. He said it was exactly the same, as long as you could put up with the grit.
These people exist (and I’m related to them).
As a kid I used to buy mineral salt licks for my mice, but I'd secretly keep one for myself as a snack.
Chicken bullion cubes and pickle water are also the shit.
I might have had a few licks of the salt blocks we got for rabbits when I was a kid (before the rabbits started licking them).
My axolotl tank used to grow a lot of blue-green algae (which is actually cyanobacteria), how much money was I missing out on by not bagging it up to sell?
If someone wants to drink these, let them. If someone wants to drink gasoline, let them. It’s natural selection at this point. If it’s not hurting you or someone you care about, let them drink gas while smoking.
I mean I'm not going to go to their bumfuck nowhere town and take their horse food from them, but I am absolutely going to mock them for it and call them an inbred knuckle dragging FASshole.

Oh fuck, get back everyone. This person is hydrated.
Guess people will do just about anything to get a nutrient from anywhere but food.
If nothing else, the detailed follow-up is king shit.
I hope we get annual check-ins

aw that post was so funny why’d they have to throw the antisemitic dogwhistle in there
Not sure I'd count it as a dog whistle hah, it is just straight up antisemitist
I'm naive. What's the whistle there?
ZOG (usually capitalized) is an acronym standing for "zionist occupied government" tied to white supremacist groups that falls into the usual "Jewish cabal runs everything" nonsense.
That went right over my head. I figured zog was a typo lol. Thanks!
Honestly, it could be argued that it is good you're not aware of it.
The guy is eating horse supplements. He was never going to be top of the class.
to add to this, with this context, "the zog powder they sell to you" becomes a blantantly antisemitic conspiracy theory: Jewish people are feeding you crap (in this case, gatorade) to keep you weak
yes it’s ridiculous nonsense, but that’s how dogwhisles work.
