Sequel to the Substance?

A prequel before marketing came in! This one has Angela Bassett and Zendaya as the young version.

Season 1 of the show just looked like that. Everything had a piss-and-Vaseline filter.

I don't think the Vaseline was a filter.

Literal Vaseline on the lens

I’ve heard it called the Barbara Walter’s Blur as it was a particular soft-focus lens that Walters preferred while on-camera.

Pixelated and puckered.

Botulism burger was only $6.99, you can’t pass up a deal like that.

someone’s stage name being “OG PorkChop” is new to me

Her name isn’t OG Porkchop but it would be amazing if it was! She was just on the first season of the series, and it’s adored because she was the first contestant ever eliminated.

Adding a little context about “OG Porkchop” after Porkchop’s elimination her name “porkchop” just started to apply as the term for the first girl eliminated each season so there have been many “porkchops” but only one OG Porkchop.

Wow they certainly bulked that story out, could have just said: “Porkchop gets the shits, hospital takes opportunity to over treat and charge plenty of money.” A physical therapist… for what? How to wipe your arse better while shitting water?

You clearly are not in medicine.

Nope. I just make uneducated guesses and post them, so we do have that in common.

Probably not an uneducated guess if they read you properly.

I wonder if that is related to that post-covid allergy to meat we’ve been hearing about.

Grimaceisbaby Mar 15, 2026 +39
Do you mean alpha gal? I thought that’s just from ticks?

A1sauc3d Mar 15, 2026 +24
Yeah I’ve never heard of it from Covid. There’s long Covid, but that does cause meat allergy Anyways, they got food poisoning and that triggered a bunch of health issues.. Says so right at the beginning of the article > after an intense internal infection > The note explained that "shortly after eating the hamburger, he started vomiting, had diarrhea, and was severely dehydrated. [This] lasted 72 hours. > he was "pumped with antibiotics" .. he was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat), acute kidney injury, hyponatremia due to an intestinal infection, and hypertension. So nothing to do with Covid or ticks, just a really REALLY bad burger, apparently.

A lot of people with long covid get MCAS and can react to different foods and allergens in bad ways but not at the intensity of alpha gal so it’s probably that

DrunkenGolfer Mar 15, 2026 +6
I don’t think there is reliable peer-reviewed evidence to suggest this. There is some correlation with MCAS-like symptoms but as much data refuting it as causing it.

PenPrestigious8842 Mar 15, 2026 +1
Plus all the secondary things in that list were caused by the severe dehydration

mimikyutie6969 Mar 15, 2026 +3
Alpha-gal can also trigger MCAS.

I've been seeing a LOT of people getting food poisoning after eating fast food burgers lately.

Alpha Gal would be a great drag name

Probably E. coli

I think any joke placed here would be in bad taste.

I’m thinking it wasn’t the hamburger…

What do you think is in the burgers?

This sounds like an snl weekend update headline.

If you're going to culturally appropriate the term, at least use it properly.
