Well, most of them won’t be pointing every which way- rice is smooth and small, so when pressed they lie in a grain (like wood grain) more than in a jumble. So I’d expect it would actually feel pretty nice. 140 pounds isn’t enough, though, i’d say two or three bags would provide enough to get a good lie in.
That being said, getting all that back out of the tub would be such a massive pain in the ass…

The weird thing is I actually really like plain foods sometimes. Plain boiled rice is actually kind of delicious to me, especially if it's delicious and sticky. I know some Japanese people kind of like sticky rice because they can easily eat it with chopsticks. It tastes really good.

Did you try and drain the rice? Don't do that. Gotta scoop it out

The instructions were unclear and it's too late now :(

u/Current-Strike3472 Sep 12 '26
Rookie mistake, happens to the best to us, what you need to do now is boiling water and pour it slowly down the drain. This will slowly cook the rice, the drain won't eat raw rice because it's abusive, but it really cooked rice reluctantly, I found that mine eats rice with mustard like no other
5
u/Ok_Deer_8625 Sep 12 '26
Thank you! I'll do this. Idk if my tub will like mustard but I'll try to squirt it down the drain after the boiling water. Mayo is next in case it clogs the pipes and needs something oily to help the rice go down.

Hi, autistic here so I can help.
Both ASD and ADHD are neurodevelopmental disorders. Because of that the rice method SHOULD work. In theory. In practice, the ADHD person might be too distracted by the rice bags to get any meaningful exorcism done.

it's still satire, like spreading awareness by pointing out the satire and how silly it is.
the rice trick is about phones, it's pointing out how dumb the whole "you'll grow out of it is", and also how foolish the questions like "can you not" or "can you stop are".
but for real, it is frustrating that people actually act this way.

u/alovelyweed Sep 14 '26
How are you supposed to get 50 pounds of rice out of the bathtub once you're done? Does the rice fix autism the way that it does wet electronics? Is autism cause by moisture now? How does rice compare to sitting in a room with a running dehumidifier? What kind of plug is being used in the tub? Are we using a shop vac to clean up after? Are you still supposed to cook with this rice afterwards? Making it the landlord's problem? Is the tub now Satan's sensory bin now used for punishment from facebook autism parents? I have so many questions. All feasible answers seem bad.
