Singaporeans Saltier Than Ever, Ministry of Health Announces
SINGAPORE - In a shocking discovery, the Ministry of Health announced today that Singaporeans are saltier than ever before. An extensive study of forum comments found Singaporeans to be exceedingly salty, with sodium levels dangerously high.
"We always suspected Singaporeans were rather salty, but the results exceeded our worst fears," said the Health Minister. "It seems interacting online, reading news, and discussing policies leads to dangerous spikes in blood sodium concentrations. Singaporeans are simply too salty for their own good."
To determine the salt levels of Singaporeans, researchers analyzed forum threads on controversial topics like taxes, costs of living, and health advisories. Within minutes, sodium concentrations skyrocketed to unhealthy levels as netizens unleashed torrents of salty complaints.
"Just reading some of these comments made our own blood pressure go up," said one researcher. "Singaporeans get so salty so fast online, it's no wonder hypertension rates have soared." She highlighted some particularly salty complaints about taxes and rising costs, warning that such comments can cause instant hypertension.
In light of the startling salt pandemic, the ministry is proposing aggressive policy interventions like a salt tax, dietary restrictions, and mandatory blood pressure screenings. These measures received overwhelming public support, on the condition that they only apply to other people.
Additionally, the ministry is deploying new AI technology to detect and moderate overly salty online comments in real-time. Any comment deemed excessively salty will be automatically removed and the user prescribed a no-salt diet until their sodium levels return to normal.
When asked for comment, most Singaporeans agreed they need to cut down on salt, except for themselves personally. "It's all the other netizens who are overly salty, not me," they declared virtuously. "My sodium levels are just fine."
So if you notice your blood pressure rising while reading online forums, be sure to cut down on sodium. After all, there's no point getting salty over everyday inconveniences - it only makes you more unhealthy and miserable. Perhaps it's time we all adopted a more balanced diet of perspectives, moderation, and patience to stay happy and healthy.
