Our daughter is cutting teeth again and she got a sunburn yesterday so we needed some children’s Tylenol or something last night and it was about 2330 so I was hoping to just run down the street to the gas station. I thought, “I bet I can search for it first and make sure because I feel like they won’t have it.”
These are the top results (so the entire first page of results) for searching “DO GAS STATIONS HAVE CHILDREN’S PAIN MEDICATION?”
There was literally ONE result that actually attempted to answer my question and the rest was about ‘gas station heroin’, which I had never even heard of until last night. Check out the sites it’s posted on too. The media is a joke.

TL;DR- I searched “do gas stations have children’s pain medication” and every major news source and the FDA + Cleveland Clinic had their ‘gas station heroin’ article on the entire first page of results, aside from one that actually tried to answer my question.
Yes the internet is dead. It’s just narrative pushing.
just did the same, in DDG, for ‘gas station tylenol’. got similar heroin results. despite being in UK, and having UK focus on. and us not calling it tylenol.
also searched ‘gas station paracetamol’, same settings. got a list of schedule 1 mixing guides. and having looked through a few, i’m fairly sure it’s a game called ‘schedule 1’ about manufacturing a whole range of rec drugs. very weird.
now, i’m *certainly* no pearl clutcher. and i know quite a bit about drugs, and chemistry. i was wowed by the level of detail. if that’s a game for kids…even i’m shaking my head a bit.
annnd where exactly can I get some of this gas station heroine?
asking for a fiend, I mean friend.
