Multi-thread posts that end mid-sentence remind me of how bad poetry leaves the reader hanging at the end of a line. There's gotta be a better way to string together

Also I found a typo on the package, which makes me doubt the credibility of the product.

I have so many questions like is it digestible, will it get caught in the folds of your small intestine forcing you to undergo surgery, why is there a plant on the packaging, will it sprout a plant, is it a joke, has anyone swallowed it?

I just submitted an article for publication that I worked on for many months in 2025. It took a whole week of quarantine isolation to get me through it. Who would've thought Covid would be good for anything?
