I licked a pole on a subway car in NYC and it gave me superpowers. Unfortunately they only lasted for 2 hours. Almost died falling out of the sky. Thankfully I was over Iowa and managed to land in a pile of hay.

I appreciate the pushback on this, as a "salt lick" on the subway is unhygienic and spreads germs easily.

That's quitter talk.

The true question is, however...

Did you find the needle?

You're right to call that out—I could have kept going, but I quit.

I wonder If the subway climate would add flavor. Or the person who was licking it before....

New York city has needles all over laying on the ground

That salt lick is packed with a healthy regime of nutrients and bioflora vital to human health -- sit with that awhile.

📢Is there anything else you wanted to know about the health benefits of shared public salt licks?

You appear to be pretending to be a large language model—that's a funny joke! But remember: shared salt licks are almost as dangerous as relying on large language models. It's not just a personal health issue—it's a public crisis.

Apparently this has already been kind of tested (underground too!)

I took a tour of the Wieliczka salt mine when I was in Poland 10 or 15 years ago. As we started to enter the actual mine, the tour guide said something like :

The roof is salt, the floor is salt, the walls are salt, everything is salt. Lick the wall if you want, it's salt."

pauses for a few seconds while somebody licks the wall

Now I should inform you that I tell that to every single group I take through here and every single time at least one person licks the walls.

Is it sad I can't tell if your copy pasting from an LLM or just speaking like them?
