If only a quart of vodka actually did that.

if you plan on eating an entire cylinder of table salt and nothing else you amaze me

The hell kind of vector is a gram meter second per kilogram

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

It's about 1/1000 of a meter-second.

Hope that helps. 💝

I only saw a cropped picture and thought it was the recipe for Rum Ham.

So what you're saying is there's a 50% chance of me eating 100 frosted cupcakes and surviving

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

The image had me at 100 frosted. I didn't care after that.

That's a LOT more salt and a little less ethanol than I would have thought.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's the amount of salt required to kill you. You're going to be having a really bad time long before you hit that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Yeah, but I'd have thought it would be an order of magnitude less than that.

I love that half is in metric and other half has pounds, foots and quarts.

My metric wired brain just don't understand it.

wtf ive drank vastly more vodka than that, why am I still living

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's gotta be wrong. Maybe that's the number for pure ethanol, in which case it would take 2.5x the volume of 80-proof (40% ABV) liquor.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Okay, I'm in. Where is the bacon so I can test this empirically?

Now I want a 250 ft long sub...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Let's see em doordash that

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I'll just have the 249 ft long one, don't want to overdo the sodium

[–] [email protected] 52 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Huh. I guess I’ve been lucky with those quarts of vodka.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think that one’s off. Ethanol has a LD50 of like 7.06 and vodka is also at around 40% by volume too. Also because I’ve cleared plenty of quarts before I stopped that.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I think there's also the amount in the body at one time to consider, I don't think many people aren't downing an entire quart of liquor in one straight shot.
