I'm only going to speak in animated gifs in this thread. ;)

I have a strategy for consuming it without dying but I am not willing to test it. Isn’t it as simple as closing your throat and letting the salive soak through the powder?

That is deserving of a lol. So, LOL. Well done sir.

I’d imagine a good start would be not to dump it into your mouth like some of these people do, but I have an irrational morbid fear of asphyxiation so I’m not going to test that.

That’s pretty much what I did. Although, I used saliva. Chewing is not recommended though.

RichVR · 2012-02-04T17:55:28.000Z

I’m pretty sure that he whole point of the stupid shit is to take the entire amount of powdered death into your mouth. Old crappy cinnamon will just sit there. You can indeed soak it with saliva. Your mouth will do that. But new cinnamon will actually burn. And so that means spit it out or swallow it.

At that point you have a powder in your throat and eventually you have to breathe. Thus the coughing and crying and choking. And possibly the strangulation.

This is adorable, but do they have whatever that horrible illness is that the other tippy pets have? Which would make it tragidorable.

We need a little LOL button you can click on posts.

If you look closely, there are jumps in the sequence. I can only guess that the cats were replaced with fake (or stuffed?) ones as needed.

Not sure if serious… But it’s a disease some animals get that causes them to be briefly paralyzed by loud noises.

Yeah I’ve heard of it, but if you watch the left hand / cat, it looks like there’s a fairly noticeable skip.

Or maybe you’re right and what I’m seeing is just the cat becoming extremely ridged extremely quickly.

Past tense. They not only had the disease, but both kittens died before the owner could afford surgery for them in an attempt to correct it.

Here’s a video with the gif, as well as several other instances where the cats clearly keel over on their own.

Yeah I’m wrong :( Poor kitties.

Awww geez I had no idea about that :(

Nixxter · 2012-02-05T04:38:13.000Z

You should be spanked. Every time a kitten is pranked here on the internets, a Clint Eastwood dies. (also, rip kitties)

For sure, but some of these idiots tilt their head back, hold the spoon over their mouth and tilt it. I imagine that the cinnamon fall creates a small cloud which probably doesn’t help.

My uncle had “fainting” goats on his farm. They were hilarious, but also pretty smart, they knew what to do when startled. They spread their legs out and walked around all weird for a bit.

Sucks to be those cats though, genetic mutations are crazy.

What am I supposed to be seeing here?

Sander_001 · 2012-02-05T18:24:40.000Z

I think that’s the new Lamborghini taking turn 89 of the Nurburgring Nordschleife.

This is an Audi R8 getting bumped around by some Le Mans protype race cars.
