    fuuuuck meeeee. Never would I have thought this would happen in my lifetime. Curing cancer? Sure. Hiccups? Impossible.

    I heard the invention of the device went smoothly without any hiccups.

    No joke, I’m currently hiccuping so hard my diaphragm and chest hurts. I need this.

      Or maybe one day we will understand why we have hiccups and find out that it’s important.

        Evolution is like a brute-force attack that tries out random mutations over time, and usually keeps them as long as they don’t affect chances of reproduction. As long as a bug isn’t critical it’ll continue to get copied to the next offspring. Not every phenomenon that evolves has a purpose.

          I’m sorry but I’m skeptical that all things which look “weird” and “buggy” to us are actually inherently bad. There always is a reason for everything. We just don’t know it yet.

    Simply drinking a whole glass of water, without pausing and without breathing, cures hiccups 100% instantly. Using a separate gadget is unnecessary. If the hiccups are caused by some disease, this gadget is also useless, this should then be treated by a doctor.
