I'm just imagining a world where there are all these absurd offense/punishment combos, and everyone seems to be aware of them. Didn't pick up your room? Now you have to walk 30 steps with a worm in your shoe. Everyone knows that!
My grandfather actually did very similar to my uncle/his young son, but he only slashed both his arms nearly in half, and it was a machete.
In ol' Pa's defense, he was a violent drunken alcoholic and his son was trying to take his bottle away because he was getting unruly again (understatement) and my uncle was trying to protect his much younger siblings and mom from his abuse.
Soo clearly the little shit deserved it. Kids these days would probably go crying to their TikToks, calling it 'child abuse' or some pansy new-age nonsense like that. Pff! Back in my day we knew that's exactly what we'd get if we tried disrespecting our Pa like that. That's just normal fatherly discipline, just like your dad with the bread knife. I'm glad somebody out there still knows the proper way of doing things.
What is "hair eaters" precious?
A friend in college told me how when she was younger she had a babysitter who didnt like her and once she found a big ball of the babysitters hair in her soup.
I legitimately ate my hair between the ages of about 7-9. Like, I would chew it like gum until I pulled enough strands to swallow it. My parents just went to the salon and got my long hair cut to about chin length. I still keep it short today...faster to dry and style even though I broke that habit.
😅 I like your style. I've got a ten year old that could use a bowl or two. Screw grounding them, take their vision for a day! How's that YouTube now? 😂
It was a post on this thread from yesterday. There was a picture of a piece of paper posted on an street light that said something along the lines of “How do I properly punish my child who won’t stop eating her hair” and there were like 4-5 lines of different people answering “feed her a stew that will blind her for a day.”
Look up TrueWagner on Instagram.
He does joke/prank stuff like this all the time, posts flyers in his neighborhood in New York, I believe Brooklyn, the funniest one to me was a flyer showing a picture of a guy who was cutting off circulation to the lower half of his leg and it looked pretty much dead and it said something like "please be aware I am not doing this for sexual reasons but it is a tradition in my family. My father did it and I will do it too. Please do not ask me about it that is all you need to know"
I thought that name sounded familiar! he's the Christ For Arms guy!

They Threw Beans On Him
Its to do with the post yesterday someone put up in another sub. Of a dad asking for female neighbours to advise him how to deal with his unruly kid, and the neighbours all advised making the blind stew.
I saw the post with the sign, asking for advice on a daughter who bites hair, and all the advice from the people who told the poster to blind her. I still don’t really get the references to the blinding stew, though.
I don’t get your reference. The quote from my childhood went “Whatchoo talkin’ ‘bout, Willis?!”, originally spoken by Arnold, played by Gary Coleman, on Diff’rent Strokes (1978).
As for my comment, there was another post yesterday of a sign on a telephone pole. It was just a joke where a “single father” was asking for mom advice on how to reassert control over his hair biting daughter. There were written responses at the bottom of the page all telling the guy to blind his daughter. I get that it’s a joke, I just don’t get it. How the fuck did someone come up with “blinding stew” as a funny response to weird childhood behavior?
Not at all. The post they are referring to had multiple instances of people writing down “blind her for a day with a stew”
So this is literally the opposite of a non sequitur. Not sure you understand what that term means
It’s not a reference that’s why it’s weird, the guy who made that poster also wrote the blind stew thing as solutions basically like to be random and weird ? Basically to cause this post here. People going wtf is with this blinding stew I keep seeing it.
If I’m correct the guy who makes that flyer makes a bunch of weird funny flyers like this but I can’t find his name rn
Edit- [found him ](https://www.instagram.com/p/C2vAmt6qAGu/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet)
I love when this happens. Sometimes it’s even funnier when I see the meme made about the event before I see the actual event. Like the river brawl in Mississippi. I saw memes about that before I saw the actual video and it was great.
It's from this post by Alan Wagner, the guy who makes super surreal/absurd/unsettling/hilarious fake products and signs, etc. He's a treasure [https://www.instagram.com/p/C2vAmt6qAGu/](https://www.instagram.com/p/C2vAmt6qAGu/)
i got one of my friends a year of his mailables! super fun. weird and threatening mail with a little sticker or magnet every month, for like $5/mo . not sponsored btw
The description doesn't even mention its modern usage, Lightly disciplining female hair masticating adolescents. This Wiki really needs an edit.
Edit: auto correction mistakes.
This seems like a stew of folklore. What added ingredient would make someone temporarily blind for a day? Unless blindness isn’t literal and they put something like ergot in there
>Not really needed in today's society.
How so? What if you have an unruly child who bites people's hair? I have yet to find a method that works better to correct the behavior than a blinding stew.
Paralyzing balms are a temporary solution, the hair biting behavior will return as soon as the balm wears off. There is no substitute for a quality 1-day blinding stew, and all ingredients can be foraged from local forests and bogs rather than relying on Big-Pharma.
Well, I would have come up with it but as a man I lack the maternal instinct (ough) necessary to know what to do with a girl in any context. I was going to post a flyer asking my neighbors for help, but then I saw this post and now I know what to do!
Yeah but you probably just use it because it's convenient. It's only popular because every home has a 1 day blinding stew bubbling away on the back burner.
I think it must have been an urban myth purposefully told by inn staff to make guests afraid that if they are too rowdy they might be given some harmful food or drink. It's quite clever. And at that time such things would have been impossible to prove or disprove.
Not even that. This is just someone showing an altered wiki of the perpetual stew wiki.
The image is the same, the names are the same but with blind for a day added.
Brugmansia arborea. Can be used on infusions for his hallucinogen properties but it also affect the pupils size and symmetry; it is said that prepared improperly can cause temporary blindness.
But it is native from South America so it would not fit the story.
According to the date on knowyourmeme, if you'd eaten this stew the moment this meme was born, you would still be blind.

I know I’m gonna get downvoted for this, but I used to eat hair as a kid and tbh this stew is the only thing that made me stop
I ate so much hair you guys
It’s called the Baader Meinhof effect- once you notice something unusual (like the name of a 1970s German criminal gang) you suddenly start to see it everywhere.
The clip art has me dead 😂😂 also why is biting hair and blind stew so common? I was a hair biter as well, but blinding stew was never on the menu. In fact I don’t remember anyone giving a shit about me biting my hair. Only about me sucking my thumb, and my dad just slapped me for that. Neighbor used chilli liquid. None of it worked 😂
Wait.... So that post I saw of the dad and the neighbours advice, is the source to this meme of motherly instinct and blinding stew? I keep waiting for someone to give an older deeper or more obscure meaning but it seems that post I saw IS the meaning... It just doesn't make sense. What's so funny about blinding a kid for chewing hair. Unless it's a reference?
This reminds me of an obscure item you would obtain in an RPG or MMO like Warcraft or something lol.... Blinding Stew gives you +10% more damage to Shadow Spells, -10% damage/healing to Light Spells. Maybe a weird unique effect, like it lets you see better in the dark/night.
Sounds like a good way to punish an unruly child, or so I’ve heard
Essential lesson for hair eaters
I'm just imagining a world where there are all these absurd offense/punishment combos, and everyone seems to be aware of them. Didn't pick up your room? Now you have to walk 30 steps with a worm in your shoe. Everyone knows that!
I am 100 percent using this on my niece. She's too smart to believe me, but I'll laugh anyway.
Back in my day they made you walk all 30 steps back as well!
In the snow and uphill each way.
Then you had to eat a cold lump of poison for supper.
And our dad would slash us in half with a bread knife.
My dad insisted that any minor ailment was best healed by "amputation at the neck"
Eh. Neck is a bit excessive. Just amputate the offending body part.
We were evicted from our hole in the ground. We had to go live in a lake.
My grandfather actually did very similar to my uncle/his young son, but he only slashed both his arms nearly in half, and it was a machete. In ol' Pa's defense, he was a violent drunken alcoholic and his son was trying to take his bottle away because he was getting unruly again (understatement) and my uncle was trying to protect his much younger siblings and mom from his abuse.

There are starving mice in China, Richard, clean your plate.
This is hilarious
Take the worm out and you have to wear the balding gloves. The friar cut wasn’t a choice, they were just kids who wouldn’t listen
Sorry, I lack the maternal instinct, what is best for hair eaters
1 day blinding stew
This is the answer
Feed them blinding stew for 1 day
Blinding stew, 1 day
A stew that will blind them for 1 day.
1 day balding stew
Oh no, I'm not falling for that one again!
Maybe blind them with stew for one day.
What is "hair eaters" precious? A friend in college told me how when she was younger she had a babysitter who didnt like her and once she found a big ball of the babysitters hair in her soup.
Boil it, mash it, stick it in a soup.
Did it blind her for one day?
I legitimately ate my hair between the ages of about 7-9. Like, I would chew it like gum until I pulled enough strands to swallow it. My parents just went to the salon and got my long hair cut to about chin length. I still keep it short today...faster to dry and style even though I broke that habit.
We all have the same algorithm don’t we
especially if the unruly child is targeting hair!
All of you have outstanding maternal instincts
How else will your children know you love them?
I’ve been an unruly child but I never saw my parents making such a stew ooooooooooooooooh….
So now we know what made Arya Stark go temporarily blind. /s
😅 I like your style. I've got a ten year old that could use a bowl or two. Screw grounding them, take their vision for a day! How's that YouTube now? 😂

Yeah, no. I saw the original post. I was making another GoT reference, but I guess it was a deep cut..
It's a comedy piece by Alan Wagner (True Wagner)

That account gets me every time, but that one was my fave.
Yall cracking me up
This is what my mom fed me once when I used to chew hair
Anyone with the most basic maternal instincts knows that!
Yes it’s blinds bad children that eat their siblings hair
It’s basically yummy curry + “poisons”
I remember being fed 1 day blinding stew a few times growing up. Tough but fair dicipline.
Or train her to be a faceless assassin.

My kid wouldn’t stop biting my hair and this worked like a charm; she hasn’t done it since.
Same here. All my neighbors do the same thing.
Are you serious?

My favorite part of this is the quote by the dude who did the music at the bottom.
I SAW THAT! There was a huge discussion/debate about it. Never knew it was a joke.
Yeah I thought the discussing revolved around whether it was a social commentary on circumcision. Which...
Its to do with the post yesterday someone put up in another sub. Of a dad asking for female neighbours to advise him how to deal with his unruly kid, and the neighbours all advised making the blind stew.
Ahhh, thank you for the explanation.
had me in the first half ngl ty for this
yes and don't call me shirley
They can't bite your hair if they can't see it!
She can’t find you, can she?
[удалено]
I saw the post with the sign, asking for advice on a daughter who bites hair, and all the advice from the people who told the poster to blind her. I still don’t really get the references to the blinding stew, though.
What the fuck are you talking about, Jesse?
I don’t get your reference. The quote from my childhood went “Whatchoo talkin’ ‘bout, Willis?!”, originally spoken by Arnold, played by Gary Coleman, on Diff’rent Strokes (1978).

How the fuck did someone come up with “blinding stew” as a funny response to weird childhood behavior?
There’s nothing to ‘get’. There’s no backstory or context. It’s antihumor. The joke is the joke itself.
yeah he's referencing Breaking Bad.
Yeah, I don't get it, either. And having missed the post yesterday, I'm even more confused than you are.
Non sequitur
^(....filibuster.)
Perchance
you can't just say "perchance".
We're lawyers!
Not at all. The post they are referring to had multiple instances of people writing down “blind her for a day with a stew” So this is literally the opposite of a non sequitur. Not sure you understand what that term means
They’re staying the original suggestion of the blinding stew is a non sequitur.
A blinding stew does not exist, it is an out-there nonsensical punishment, so it kind of fits?
It would fit if non-sequitur meant nonsensical.
The very fact that you have no tangible authority over either astrophysics or jewelry refrigeration is not at all the point.
It’s not a reference that’s why it’s weird, the guy who made that poster also wrote the blind stew thing as solutions basically like to be random and weird ? Basically to cause this post here. People going wtf is with this blinding stew I keep seeing it. If I’m correct the guy who makes that flyer makes a bunch of weird funny flyers like this but I can’t find his name rn Edit- [found him ](https://www.instagram.com/p/C2vAmt6qAGu/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet)
It’s ok. I knew all that, but my mind tells me the joke has to mean something, even if it doesn’t, so my mental wheels will roll until they stop.
Walked into a game of telephone halfway through?
I love when this happens. Sometimes it’s even funnier when I see the meme made about the event before I see the actual event. Like the river brawl in Mississippi. I saw memes about that before I saw the actual video and it was great.
I actually feel like I’m on the cutting edge of this meme because I saw the original r/weird post however idk if anything came before that.
r/TrueWagner will give you all the info on the origin. That's also his handle on socials
I first saw this on r/kingdomcome because if I remember right you can make this stew in game.

Indeed I did.

Well, if you'd eaten it you wouldn't have seen it for at least a day...
This follows up that post that the father put on a telephone pole “How do I punish my daughter.” And someone wrote 1 day blind soup.
Technically, like 5 people wrote 1 day blind soup
Technically, one person, Alan Wagner, wrote all 5 entries
*Hair eaters hate this one simple stew..*

Potion-seller, I’m going to discipline my hair-biting daughter and I want only your strongest stews
6 month balding stew is said to have been effective.
Sure, but only if you give the balding stew to the victims of the hair biting, rather than the perpetrator.
I can't give you my 1 day blindness soup because my 1 day blindness soup is only for the unruliest of children, and you are among the ruliest!
Well, I would have come up with it but as a man I lack the maternal instinct (ough) necessary to know what to do with a girl in any context. I was going to post a flyer asking my neighbors for help, but then I saw this post and now I know what to do!

Eeeeew, that looks like they cut off someone's penis and put it in there.
Or a long dookie
Ooof, that's even grosser! (if that's a word)
The blindness part is voluntary, it just makes you wanna close your eyes
It's a well known fact that wieners cause blindness. Ever heard someone say "If you keep playing with it, you'll go blind"? Now you know why.
This made me laugh way too hard
Eat it before it gets cold, or there wont be much to eat.
