You can eat ONE inedible thing of your choice. What's for dinner?

Inedible as in anything that isn't food (ranging from something that would be dangerous, like glass, poisonous plants, or uranium, to something that is safe to eat but unpleasant with no nutritional value, like cardboard.) Eating the thing will be safe and painless.

I choose to eat the social construct of monetary wealth. Say goodbye to capitalism, it's in My belly

I was thinking Debt; just, somehow, eat it. But your idea could grow on me.

By eating it, would that mean it's just instantly paid off or do the lenders just lose any record of you taking a loan? The answer would either mean an infinite money glitch or very confused accountants and getting blacklisted by banks

Can you eat anyone’s debt? You could just stand out on front of any American hospital and be set for life. Might have to watch your weight though.

If humans ate through photosynthesis, the capitalists would have already found a way to monetize access to sunlight

Im not sure that'd count, as while there are social and legal repercussions and a higher risk of a few diseases, human meat, billionaire or not, isnt inheritly toxic or such, and does contain nutritional value.

I've had dreams of crunching on rocks, not completely unlike the dude from the never ending story. But there is something about the smell of hot asphalt. I know, I'm weird. But something about that smell is intoxicating.

"Where shall we have dinner?"

"Lets eat up the road"

"No thanks, I don't like asphalt"

Yes, like the texture, the taste, does it taste anything at all?

I wish I could safely store uranium in my belly as an energy source. Imagine how little I'd have to eat.

Pro tip: eat enough of those and the amount you have to eat will drastically decrease.

Sagitarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

everything in the galaxy would likely start drifting apart since there is nothing pulling them into this central orbit. some things would get closer to eachother and start attracting eachother and maybe they collide or start orbiting eachother. In the human timespan the sky would likely slowly get more and more "wrong". at least that is how i imagine it would go.

well technically if Sgr A* were to disappear right now, we wouldn't see any change for the next couple thousand years or so🤓

How you would be able to get there, I'm not sure. Travelling there, even at near light speeds, would take many (and I mean many) human lifetimes. Then you have the problem of fitting it in your mouth, since last I heard, it's gotten very big.

Racism. As in, gather up all the hate and bigotry in a big ol' ball, and gobble it down.

A thin drinking glass. I have a weird urge to bite down on one any time I am using one. Idk why I have the urge, it’s weird.

12

Cause you should be able to eat them like the old Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory when he ate the flower cup!

if it can harbor life it can possibly sustain me. I'll happily eat a spoonful of dirt a day just to get the fuck off this planet.

if it can't sustain me, at least I'll die in a cool way.

I've always been curious about eating glass.

So crunchy~

Candles. They smell great — I wonder how they'd taste if they were edible.

I imagine it's something like those weird-ass wax juice bottle shaped "candy" things.

1

Funny you mentioned that. Tried it for the first time just yesterday. I guess I manifested tasting wax haha.

1

According to a random Quora user that I trust with my life, you can eat small amounts of candle wax! Although, even if I were told it's poisonous I'd still probably lick a candle.

I wonder if in that mix, would the bleach just break down into its base components of salt, water and oxygen?

1

You'd barely be able to taste a 1/3 cup of bleach in those cupcakes. Nobody understands flavors these days.

Gouache paint pigments. Cadmium red, cobalt blue... I want all the colors inside me!

Are we talking about the chocolate eggs with the little toy inside? How come that's dangerous for Americans? (Is it because of the little toy?!)

I thought it was a dumbass concern of a child swallowing the toy capsule whole?

Not allowed anything in food that isn't food. I guess it does makes sense, especially if you're in a nation of fuckwits.

I'm interested in what happens to it as it moves through the digestive system.

There are some incredibly hazardous waste products that are very difficult and expensive to dispose of.

As much gold flakes and small nuggets as I can eat. Technically safe to eat, then payday next time I need to use the toilet.

I am going to eat quantum superposition. That's right, quantum computing no longer exists. Schrödinger's cat is alive and well. Only one thing happens, regardless of observation. You're welcome.

That depends. If I eat "prosperity" with the goal of becoming prosperous, will I become prosperous? Or will I just digest it & poop it out?

2

is the thing tastey and nutritious or I can just eat it as a party trick? I guess im saying whats the end game with this ability?

2

Budget option: colorful decorative glass marbles made for house plants. I am sure they would taste like sugar-free herbal candies or jello.

If this is a superpower I'll have my whole life then I'll take lead so that I don't get any more brain damage. All ingested lead gets passed harmlessly instead of going to my brain

If it's a one-time thing, then I'll go with methyl mercury in front of a room of scientists.
