Reply to comment by hemorrhagicfever in I’m 20 and can confirm I still want to eat paint by good2youall

I find this quite interesting, though I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s a desire, more like a reoccurring fleeting thought. Of course I’m not eating paint (not the healthiest) though I would’ve thought more people may have shortly pondered on what it’s like to eat. Reminds me of a time when kids I knew wanted to eat playdough, likely just due to the appealing look or texture.

playdough is salty. Kids put random shit in their mouth, not inherently with the intent to eat it. But there's a reason why it's not really a thing for kids to be eating silly puddy. And, I would say, texturally and visually, that's about as close as you'll get to paint. So that eating silly puddy isn't a thing is further evidence that you're in a unique position.
