    Are we just ignoring the glaring issue of missing the chance that the person has actually already taken their meds and will overdose in the second instance?

              Well I wasn’t sure if you were serious due to lack of body language. :)

                That wouldn’t help, I’m a firm believer in performing fabricated outrage for comical effect.

      I am not a medical professional and I obviously don’t know the dosage of people in this thread. But I’ll still say no one will overdose (as in harm themself or die) by accidentally taking 2x what their body is used to.

        Double dosing on ADHD meds might not kill you but it can cause anxiety attacks or even seizures. If it’s an extended release formula then you could be in for a very bad day!

          Yeah, I accidentally took my sister’s ADHD mddicine instead of my own once and felt so sick later that I went home during a lesson. And my sister doesn’t even get a that much higher dosis than me.

      Shortsighted. The real fear here is that you’ll use it at the wrong time and waste it’s potential, so you save it for the perfect opportunity…

      Unfortunately, you never know when you missed it and the potion is never used.

        Me, two days ago. Got in so, so much trouble at work. Get home, oh. There’s my pill, on my desk.

      You can also do the “My potions are too strong for you, traveler. You need to go to a potion seller that sells weaker potions”, especially if it’s that strong, especially to anyone without ADHD.

      If accidentally doubling up on their prescription ADHD meds causes someone to overdose (with no additional factors), then they have a grossly incompetent doctor.

    What about, “take this and you will see beyond the veil of mystery into the beating heart of a universe which seeks to pervert, destroy, and drive you unutterably mad”?

    No it fuckin doesnt.

    “It’s dangerous out there, take this” is that old man, with a SWORD. And I’m pretty sure it’s the only Zelda game where an old man gives you anything.

    It’s more like literally any other videogame

      you know, you’re right. And I thought of making a similar comment. But it doesn’t really matter for the punchline, except us nerds are peeved by the inaccuracy. In Oracle of Seasons, he goes “Oh keeper of the essences! I have awaited your arrival! I give you this!”, so imo that’s close enough

        I mean if you’re going to make a nerd joke for nerds, why not make it accurate for nerds?

      Holy shit, you nerds are getting way too upset about the meme not being accurate to geek lore.

        I wasn’t really trying to sound too upset, I was a cranky mess this morning. Sorry if I got on your nerves. Just thought I could be pedantic since I wasn’t talking directly to the Tweeter and wouldn’t hurt anybody

          It’s ok I’m not upset, I’m just pointing out that the crankiness might be a bit overblown 😆

            Neurodivergent people getting cranky on the internet? Whaaaaaat?

            But actually, getting into fights online is dopamine seeking behavior. So being nitpicky, cranky, pedantic nerds is kind of a symptom.

    Don’t know about y’all, but that’s the main reason why more people don’t know about my diagnosis. I’ve got coworkers who’d ask that immediately if I showed the slightest bit of inattentiveness.

    yes, as a matter of fact, I have taken my meds today. Your story just sucks, and I already guessed the rest, 5 minutes ago, and tuned out
