It's a joke. It starts off cute and altruistic and then it finishes silly and kind of bad.

    I mean I get the structure of the joke, but in this case it’s just kind of sad. I think it’s because it is not SO exaggerated of a thing to do that I could actually envision some people doing this straight up…

    I doubt most people who would do this are doing it to be cool. Your comments show a serious lack of understanding when it comes to addiction.

    You’re totally right. I guess I was thinking of it from the angle of people who do things like this on purpose (but in control), not people who have lost control due to addiction or otherwise. Probably because of the “jokey” tone of the post.
