The pop up is called natural selection. Any of your distant ancestors who clicked “Yes” to eating dirt did not survive.

Sadly, we have been so good at protecting people from stupid, we need the popups again.

Never know if the dirt eaters won or not. They might've been up against shit eaters.

Ah, the two party system, dirt eaters vs shit eaters. But more parties does not equal no dirt and shit, sometimes it just becomes dirt, shit, manure, fecal matter and plain old sand.

Some people have ancestors who are dirt. It's called geophagy

If you have ever taken an OTC anti acid you've likely eaten dirt. You can actually buy white dirt in the American south still. It tastes just like tums.

Eating dirt might even work out but eating stones doesn't.

Is it that sad, or is it actually great!
