US corporations could learn a few things from Nintendo.
This post is a trick to make you lick game cards and find out
And it worked. I just licked one. It tasted horrible.
Just what one of them would say.
Cease your investigations.
How very big money of you.
Blessings!
But, that might have been an outlier. You need to lick more just in case.
I’ll be sure and do that… :-)
You won’t really know until you put it in your mouth and chew it up.
I’m thinking a smoothie.
I wouldn’t. It might dilute the bitterness.
Silverchase’s comment is a trick to prevent you from finding out how tasty switch cartridges are.
I think mine has LSD on it.
Would you be disappointed if I told you I originally heard about this with the DS/3ds, tested it, then tested it again when the switch came out to see if they were still doing it?
A man of science
Journalistic integrity
Jokes on them I can’t taste it anymore after COVID, there is no longer any deterrent from me eating their cartridges
If you do end up eating one, tell us how many bytes it took.
Urghhh
The covid’s collateral effect in my case was in my heart, you’re a luck guy
I wouldn’t call either of you lucky. In fact, I feel really bad for both of you.
Sorry to hear that, friend. Have a good friend who is also dealing with long covid for years. He’s been on different drug trials but nothing had much of an effect. He’s very slowly getting some energy back, but still can’t work a full time job.
I had a friend who got covid pretty early, he was a carpenter and can’t really work ever since. He’s winded after walking up a few steps. But he’s also an anti vaxxer covid denier, so i find it hard to feel bad, because i’m pretty sure he dragged some other people down with him.
Cant do stairs, activities, or “activities” without almost throwing up due to heart
Its rough
Many battery manufacturers do this with CR disc shaped batteries as well.
Interestingly, this coating can cause issues for some products like the Apple AirTags. I know this because I used one of these batteries with a bitterest in the AirTag on my keys and the AirTag didn’t work.
And what’s funny is that the solution is to lick the coating off either sides of the battery to get them to work.
I have to assume there’s a common non tongue applied solvent that works
People apparently rub them with IPA.
I need to have a try of this, as I regularly burn through 2032s.
This could probably be used to check for authentic game cartridges. I’m not going to be licking used games to find out if they’re real, though.
Coward.
I couldn’t resist.
That’s good.
It’s makes them taste disgusting.
Can I go now?
I can’t believe I’m going to get up, find a cartridge, and lick it after posting this. Damn you.
Edit: It’s true.
Because of this, I christen my cartridges by licking them.
I’ve known about this for years, and I’m still convinced that in a few years time you’re going to see collectors and/or used game store clerks going “Ah see this one is valuable because it’s got the bittering agent still intact. It hasn’t all been licked off.”
The ultimate gamer high is to take a deep breath from the Steam Deck exhaust, lick a Switch cartridge, hold your breath, and then chug down a G Fuel.
This is peak gamer. I am in awe.
I got my unsuspecting 10 year old to lick one of those just to see if the Internet was lying to me. It was as easy as “hey Nintendo made those cartridges bitter…you should lick it to see.” Lol
You are a terrible parent and also I hope you took a video and put it up on YouTube… because my kid is 14 and I won’t be able to convince her.
Lmao. Nope they did it too fast and without hesitation. I didn’t have a chance and once the jig was up it was too late to try again.
Okay then. I need to plant a seed… “I read on the internet that they put this really bitter chemical on Switch cartridges to stop kids from putting them in their mouths, but you know how it is on the internet. You can’t believe everything you read.” But first I need to install a camera system in the room where her switch is.
Edit: She saw through my clever ruse and went to look it up for herself.
Clever… Next time just tell her to try some thing on a spoon and right before you let her have it just shove the switch game in her mouth
@SynopsisTantilize
@FlyingSquidNext do the 9V battery trick
Don’t tempt me with a good time. I think that’s a teenage party trick. I might need to wait a couple years. He’s still kinda a wuss.
I learned that a ways back, told a streamer and gave him a buck to confirm it. Dollar well spent lol.
No clip?
Was a bit of a hunt but I found it, https://www.twitch.tv/anderoc/clip/ThankfulTriumphantPotYee
I’ve acquired a taste for them.
I eat five a night.
That sounds like an expensive hobby. Have you thought of trying cocaine instead?
I sell cocaine to fund my switch cartridge habit.
Part of the ritual of buying a new Switch game for me is licking it. More difficult for digital downloads, but I was determined and found a way.
Stick your tongue in the ethernet port?
Can a human tongue discern the taste of a TCP packet compared to an UDP packet?
There’s only one way for you to find out for sure.
Put the cable in your mouth so you can feel the electric impulses. If TCP is being used you can feel the packets going back and forward, but if youre using UDP you can only feel them going forward.

Help it’s stuck
Help step bro im stuck in the ethernet port
Why does the Internet go to incest unnecessarily
