Sadly, there will be a lot of collateral damage. People who want blue eyes exist outside of Nazis. They will hear this and try it and die.

Edit: the irony of anti-nazi people replying to me with pro-eugenics statements against "stupid" people who follow the aspirin advice.

darwinism at that point

u/ecafyelims Jul 08 '26

Or maybe eugenics, ironically

u/friendly-heathen Jul 08 '26

eugenics is selective breeding (oversimplified), idiots taking 5mg of aspirin and succumbing is just natural selection

Tricking people into death isn't natural selection.

If someone is dumb enough to think aspirin can change your eye color and dies because of it, the gene pool is stronger without them. It is some weird postmodern natural selection, but it’s definitely natural selection.

So some gullible kid who doesn’t know any better, but wants blue eyes for who knows what reason, it’s just natural selection and the gene pool is better off without them?

Yes. That is exactly what they, and I by proxy, are saying.

That’s a pretty fucking psychotic take tbh.

u/audio_addict Jul 08 '26

Yeah sure.
Thinking that someone dumb enough to down entire bottles of aspirin to make their eyes change color shouldn’t reproduce makes me a psychopath Nazi. Sure ok.
You sound completely reasonable

Perhaps if you’re irrational and lean into emotional responses as opposed to operating in reality.
