Yeah man. It helps build immunity. In the 4 years I've been doing it I have been sick once. You can argue it is a low intelligence/degenerate thing and I'm sure I'll get shit for it but we do it by instinct for a reason. I'm gonna regret this admission

..how do you start eating booger 4 years ago? Are you four? I had always assumed everyone started out eating their boogers and learned not to through societal shaming.

This wasn't a war situation. I was in a high stress dry environment and had some blood boogers and tried it and enjoyed it and loved it since then. I don't during the work week cause insulation. Are you saying an askpoal with your own perspective colors the question? I always figured it is best to explain why you ask.

I think in some cases it does. Maybe on a question so unimportant as this people won't care, but I wanted to make sure. Declaring in the OP that I eat boogers could make some non-booger-eaters either decide not to comment, or to dogpile me for being a booger eating degenerate. Either way would cause an imbalanced representation. I don't know what way it would sway things or whether it would at all, but I tried to remain neutral, just in case.

I don't do it but you have an interesting theory here.

[–] [deleted] 2 pts

Yep. Have since I was a kid. I rarely get sick and that is because the boogers catch gross germs in small amounts. Small enough to boost the immune system.

My finger fits in my nose for a reason. And that reason is nose gold.

No.

Boogers are all the shit that your body filtered OUT to stop it entering your body, why would put it back in?

[–] 0 pt

Well, filtered from going into your lungs. Doesn't mean it shouldn't enter the stomach.

Actually, I disagree.

When you have the flu, or a bad cough, or sore throat, that's because of mucus (snot/boogers), that when down your throat, instead of out your nose.

There's a chance that when you swallow down snot, even stuff picked out of your nose, you could give yourself an infection if there was anything in there that was particularly nasty.

Now I have never heard of an infection from eating a booger. Sounds a little outlandish. Granted, I'm not a med, but I'm guessing you're not either.

[–] 0 pt

Lol. No I do not!

don't puss out. Where do you stand

[–] 1 pt

I didn't want to color the commentary by giving my own answer with the question. If I had, some non-eaters might have refrained from commenting.

[–] 0 pt

Nope. can't say that I do I never had that compulsion. However I do pick my nose from time to time, especially when I am working in a dirty environment and no tissues are available. I figure its better to get that dirt and crap out of there rather than possibly breathe it in.

[–] 0 pt (edited )

So how do you get the boogers off your fingernails? Wipe them on a tissue or something?

edit: also "lol" is not an adequate answer to my poaldev request. I got quads ok? It would be a game-changing feature and is good enough at CSS he could probably implement it.

Seriously it is something I'll look into as soon as this poalcast thing is under my belt.

Haha ok thanks. Yeah that debate's in like 2 days I guess I can see why you'd be in a rush.

I am officially predicting now that Aragorn will be a no show. (Not pinging him because he might then show up just to spite me.)

Depends, if its a dirty enough enviroment I'll just wipe them on the back of my pant leg as I know I won't be sitting down until I get into the car at which point they will be dry and can simply be wiped off in the parking lot before I sit down.

[–] 0 pt

Hm, interesting. I never thought of that.

see edit in previous reply

Not since I was a kid

Do you remember when you stopped?

[–] 0 pt

I'm going to say around 10 or 11. I don't really remember but I think it was when I started noticing girls.
