KidsTryThisAtHome comments on Light Bulbs and Your Mouth: A Cautionary Tale

[–] KidsTryThisAtHome@lemmy.world 22 points 3 years ago (2 children)

I just don't get how this can be true. Don't people have different sizes mouths? How can if fit going in but not coming out? Am I just falling for a stupid joke? Either way I kinda want to try this now.

I'm beginning to think that people may lie on the internet.

I don't know if this is true, but it seems plausible that the bulb could have asymmetric strength depending on the angle force is applied. Glass does weird things! Case in point: Prince Rupert's drops.

Edit: Alright, this seems to be a myth. https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/38262/can-a-lightbulb-once-inserted-into-your-mouth-be-safely-removed
