It's tragic

It's probably sad for the people who are connected, but it's not really all that tragic. Some people died doing something extremely risky.

That isn't taking into the next level of complications that I've seen in polycules; relationships of more than 2 persons within the group.

3 persons:
AB, AC, BC, ABC.

4 Persons:
AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, CD, ABC, ABD, ACD, BCD, ABCD

5 Persons:
AB, AC, AD, AE, BC, BD, BE, CD, CE, DE, ABC, ABD, ABE, ACD, ACE, ADE, BCD, BCE, CDE, ABCD. ABCE, ABDE, BCDE, ABCDE, I'm probably missing some.

Then there is the next level after that, relationships between groups within the group:

How does (AB) and (CD) interact?
What about (ABC) and (CD) vs (AB) and (CDE)?

Honestly, it seems like far too much effort/stress.

That's interesting! I assumed it was just going to be a hyper-local thing for that one commenter.

Popsicle never made a product like this, so the Kleenex/tissue, Band-Aid/bandage, Sharpie/permanent marker thing doesn't really apply here.

I wonder where it comes from.

I am assuming that this is a hyper-local thing to wherever you were raised.

Popsicle is a brand that's over 100 years old and makes frozen treats on sticks.
