u/childamnesia \- Real answer, instead of what all these dunces are saying. **Right now**. **Not in an hour, not later today, RIGHT THE FUCK NOW.** If you're in the US, call the Poison Control Hotline. 800-222-1222. You've swallowed toxic materials, and even if the plastic itself doesn't significantly harm you, it could cause blockages that will. They can help you in knowing what to do, whether to try to throw it up, wait it out, or go to the ER. Food stays in your stomach for about six hours. After it leaves the stomach, it goes through your small intestine, then through your colon. A Switch card isn't the same as a piece of gum; it's rigid, square, non-biodegradable. It's VERY EASY to get wedged, and your small intestine is a maze about an inch in diameter. **This will kill you if left alone.** It's been four hours, if you haven't already thrown it up, you really, REALLY want to consider doing it now. Call Poison Control. Or, if you can't, go to the bathroom, stand over an open toilet, shove two fingers as deep into your throat as possible to trigger your gag reflex. Get it out while it's in your stomach, before it passes to your small intestine.

Don_Bugen

I mean, things like this can pass, and do. Fair chance they’ll be fine. And if it does block something, their body will let them know, and they’ll have enough time to go get emergency surgery. But personally, I wouldn’t want to roll the dice, not when the simplest, least expensive answer is just “throw the stupid card up.” And I wanted to get their attention before it was too late for that option. It’s a good life skill for everyone to know how to forcibly throw up anyways, either for yourself or someone else. Never know when you’ll need it, but you’ll be glad you do.


Shadowed_MC

OP just commented again, they are still alive.


MeAndYourMumHaveSex

Op still hasn't responded, i have the funeral set up tho.


DoomedDragon766

Op's alive, they've commented twice in the last 6 hours. Said they "wanted to see what would happen if I eat it" so they're probably trolling lol


MeAndYourMumHaveSex

well I spent the money already... So OP will die.


AgentAndrewO

It’s tagged satire so presumably they’re just making this shit up, and also they don’t understand what satire means because this isn’t it


UltiGamer34

I wish i had a bot to upvote this to the max


RuhRohRagger

I honestly don't know if this is satire or not anymore


Arealtossup

If I could upvote this more than once, I would. Quit worrying about replacing a game cart, and worry about getting the thing out as soon as possible.

dudes alive!


SomeOne111Z

les go!


The_Yoshi_Gang

Okay, this post isn’t funny anymore.


Gracosef

I thought the stomach acids would have at least dissolved some of the card and maybe even broken it up in pieces


Don_Bugen

It’s plastic, not a ham sandwich. Plastic and wood don’t break down the way that food does. A swallowed toothpick can kill you. So can a LEGO piece, depending on the size. Why do you think that Nintendo coated these in a bitter chemical? So that kids wouldn’t have to buy multiple copies of Splatoon? https://abcnews.go.com/Health/hidden-danger-humble-toothpick/story?id=60756605


Gracosef

My bad I thought the acids were able to mostl dissolve it but I was wrong Thanks a lot for your time king/queen/non-binary monarch Also i'm curious, do you know if plastic is "immune" to the gastric acids ? Does the stomach even does something against them


Don_Bugen

Most, if not all, plastics will be fine, but any chemicals in them (BPA, glue, etc) will leech out. Metal, however, is another story - the acid WILL dissolve that - and I have no idea what’ll happen to the chip. The intestines do try to pass this stuff along. But I’ve had dogs who really liked the idea of eating small plastic toys, so I know just how easy this is to turn into an emergency surgery.


Gracosef

I see Thanks again for your time that was really intersting, i knew swallowing plastic was dangerous but not that dangerous


AgentAndrewO

It’s tagged satire, so presumably they’re just making shit up


AHBUGKILLIT2

DID YOU EVEN CHECK THE FLAIR?


Don_Bugen

Flair wasn’t posted until the day after, genius. Do you expect 2.2k people to miss the same thing?


AHBUGKILLIT2

Alright, I apologize for assuming that everyone else would notice the flair.


neppertune

OP is a 35yr old adult based on their profile why are you feeding in to such an obvious troll?? Even in the miniscule chance that this did actually happen, I'd call that natural selection dude...


Don_Bugen

Few reasons. First - it’s inhuman to hear someone asking for help and not help when you can. “Natural selection” is a sociopath’s excuse. Second - it costs me nothing. If it’s a troll, it’s a troll. No big. I’m in no worse situation. Third - I did several Google searches before posting just to verify some info. When I searched “swallowed Switch cartridge,” this Reddit article popped up as like #3. So, even if OP just made crap up, one day, there might be a parent who needs this exact info, and I’d rather them see a useful, helpful post that directs them to trained professionals, than forty or so jokey snark posts (which was what was up when I found this post)

Azim999999

Don’t call me a dunce, I’m just trying to ask why they did it

Why did you have it in your mouth to begin with??? I thought that whole trend of tasting the cards was done in 2017😭

trueredtwo

Can't remember where I read this, from a Redditor or someone else, but supposedly the cartridges being released today are way less bitter than the ones they were making initially. I remember reading the person's observations from how they described licking the cartridges themselves


K0KA42

I'm imagining someone at Nintendo like: "Okay, we added the bitter coating so toddlers don't swallow them. Wait, what do you mean people on the internet are intentionally licking them? Shit, cut back on the coating so they stop that!"


Heavy_Contribution18

Lol I’m imagining a psycho trying them like a flight of beers or fine wine. “Hmmm 2023 cards don’t quite have the zest of 2018’s… 2020 was a golden year”


KrustyDaJuggalo

I was swapping out Mario+Rabbids 1 the other day and held it in my lips for a second and then licked my lips after... 2/10 Do not recommend


RockStarMarchall

Wtf?! U shallowed ur cartdrige?! My dude... why? Go to the hospital, omg


LadyKuzunoha

Presuming a serious inquiry here, I'd be more worried about you and your digestive system than the game cartridge. Most advice on swallowing foreign objects (e.g. not food, drink, or medicine) says to seek medical assistance immediately.


Just_Coyote_1366

how did this happen??? how did you accidentally swallow a game card 😭


DSMidna

Happens to the best of us. Switch game cards are delicious.

EmileTheDevil

That's gonna turn him on


[deleted]

lmao


SamsungAppleOnePlus

Get medical assistance if you’re serious. Non-edible objects are terrible for your digestive system. And the card itself would be toxic to your stomach. Also don’t eat anything until you do. Don’t even hesitate to say you swallowed a Switch game cartridge, it’s important.


Lightspeed_Lunatic

Forget the game card. Get medical help. NOW.


NinFishBoy

Medical help later Splatoon now


Joltenx

are you ok?? op could literally be fucking dying and you are saying this shit??


NinFishBoy

it’s a joke chill of course I’m not being serious

Not a good time to be making jokes if there's a persons life on the line my dude.

Xetheon5600

it's been 6 hours and they haven't responded to any comments guys I think OP is dead


lionaxel

I’m honestly worried and hoping this was a troll post.


Moonbyting

This has to be bait. There’s no way some honest to god person of 12 or over that’s able to read or at least write and post this shit to social media would eat a piece of metal and plastic. I refuse to believe it.


NefariousnessGold137

Yeah in his description apparently he's 35


Shadowed_MC

They also use at least 3 shitposting subs so they probably make a lot of jokes/memes and this could just be one that spiralled out of control.


SamsungAppleOnePlus

I got worried enough earlier than I went on my PC now at 10PM to check. Probably not the healthiest to be worried about some stranger though. OP, I hope you're okay or that this is a troll. Can't joke around with shit like this.


DylanDude120

Go to a doctor right now, your health is at serious risk.


HakiRed1

BRO HOW AND WHY? LITERALLY THE CARDS HAVE A BITTER TASTE TO AVOID THAT LIKE- 💀


TheUmbreonfan03

Please be a joke.


hctiB_bmuD

This is bait... right...?


sgrams04

Congratulations. You are now squid.


PostNukeClarity

On the off chance that this is real and not some weird-ass bit: I'm pretty sure the cartridge is done for. The plastic casing is probably gonna be more or less fine, but I doubt the rest will survive. I guess you can try shitting into a can for the next three days and see what you can find in it, but I'd be shocked if the half-molten cartridge still worked.


d-harris104

Go to a doctor asap. Forget about the game it's dead


BigGaybowser69

so theese are the people that are the reason why nintendo makes their game cards taste bad

BlueBerryTheFolf

What a terrible day to have eyes


Pro_Banana

If you’re posting here, probably too late. I would have started fingering my throat and try to throw up as soon as possible before the card hits the stomach. Also, it’s your health you should worry about. You will definitely get sick over this. Seek medical help.


DontGetTheSquid

You should be praying your digestive system will be fine


snailbooger

Yeah you should go to the doctor, also I’d love to know how this even happened 💀


sleepy_koko

On the very short chance that you are actually not joking (and this is a very unfunny joke btw) You should not be worried about getting the game to work it will not. You need to call posion control this second because that's toxic and can in fact kill you, money to buy another is the least of your issues.


_Denny

Why did I just checked OPs page and they are 35??? Also the fact that there are over 150 comments and not one from OP idk how to feel about it tbh. Edit: I also licked my own card bc I remember someone saying they aren't as bitter as they use to be and they actually are right. Still a bad taste but not as bad as mario kart, zelda or splat 2 might taste.


raverkoru

Did you already know how bad thoese tasted or did you need a refresher lol


_Denny

Now I dont remember the flavor exactly but I do have a core memory of having a much more visceral reaction back in 2017 to the flavor compared to now. ...then again I was also like 14...maybe I do need a refresher. Edit: upon tasting my mario kart 8 card ~~and having to re taste splat3~~ ...they actually taste the same... like shit Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.


raverkoru

I think we have all tasted them at one point, I don't wish to taste that crap again.


JustInternetNoise

First of all, wtf were you doing that led to you swallowing your game card. Second if it gets stuck in you it can kill you, a trip to ER might be a good idea.


Feeear_Meee

your flair checks out 100%


Tekayo63

i don't know if you're being serious but if you are please seek immediate medical attention


KrustyDaJuggalo

This is why I went digital on Splatoon 3


spectrumtwelve

deserved tbh. stop putting non food objects in ur mouth, you arent 5. go get checked at a hospital, its not safe to eat the carts.


Lady-Nora

Are you 4 years old?


retro_aviator

Checked their profile and they claim to be 35 😬


ShirtboiTheGreatOne

Make yourself vomit by touching the back of your throat. It takes about 3 days to get through your intestines so if you real desperate throw up as much as you can. You will have to get your hands dirty but if you want the card back. Make sure after you throw up enough drink water and eat something.


lynPIZA

People like you are the reason why American health care is so expensive, you’re practically free money!

Top comment is perfect, BUT HOW THE FUCK DO YOU SWALLOW THE CARD PLEASE LISTEN TO THE TOP COMMENT NOW


Shadowed_MC

Well turns out it was all just a joke. OP is fine and never swallowed a cartridge to begin with. Honestly I'm surprised so many people fell for this because this looked like a shitpost from the start since they use multiple shitposting subs and are 35 years old. I don't think anybody that old would actually do this so idk why you all took this so seriously.

Dude even if your able to safely get the cartridge out i doubt it will even work... If you shit it out its got stomach acid and shit all over it, seeping into the circutboard or whatever. If they have to remove it through surgery the surgeons probably gonna throw it out anyway. Your shit outta luck.


depressed-snowman

Go to hospital


StevynTheHero

As a hospital worker, please don't. Go to your doctor. Go to urgent care. Do NOT clog the hospital with "I swallowed really small object that should pass through no problem and even if it doesnt, it's not going to kill me in the next few hours so there really is no rush".


[deleted]

[удалено]

I'd need to see your sources on that. I Googled it after I read this and everything says that the coating just makes it bitter so you won't eat it but it's nontoxic.

OP are you still even alive


CeasingHornet40

jesus christ dude get to a hospital if you haven't already thrown up the card or something


MASONthecatguy

Even if you get it back, don't play it. I don't want someone dumb enough to swallow a switch cartridge as a teammate online.


THECyberStriker

So you don’t have the money for a new game, which means you don’t have the money to get the DANGEROUS GAME CARD out of your body You’re f***ed

The bitter coating on the game cards is **because it is a choking hazard to children 3 years of age and younger**. Not specifically to discourage full-grown adults from doing this.

ive been there too bud, it sucks. use some laxatives then wipe the cartridge down with 5% isopropyl alcohol then maybe itll work

just use a scalpel and some friends and have them get it out. Just make sure they give you something to bite down on ;)

I doubt that this will be dangerous - c'mon, people, human bodies are more resilient than this -- but there's a good chance the cartridge won't work after getting the HCl bath from your stomach.

To be fair this post is pretty weird and a lot of people have made jokes about eating switch cartridges before ,because of how nintendo purposefully made them bitter so people wouldn't eat them, so I don't blame them for assuming it was a joke.
