I’ve tried many things before, but in the past couple days I’ve found that eating a packet or two of mustard tends to get rid of hiccups.

What sort of tricks do you folks have?

    All the mythological cures rely on one specific thing: focusing on a task or overriding your brain’s autonomic systems with adrenaline (get scared). Don’t think about it and do something else with as much concentration as you can will. Sorry if you’re ADHD.

      Yeah, I’m probably ADHD, and not easily scared. Hell, I handle snakes and spiders and shit sometimes. Good luck scaring me…

        You’ll never own a home or save enough for retirement. The entire planet is under incredible stress and we’re literally making it uninhabitable for ourselves. Your tax dollars often go towards killing innocent people in other countries. You may have left the oven on.

        If that didn’t do it, I’m out of ideas.

          Trying that fear factor approach I see. Well thank you for the thought, but I’m not easily scared, and that trick doesn’t seem to work for me anyways.
