  Fun fact: acetone is not even that toxic. I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t hurt much more than ethanol.

  Remember kids, everything in moderation. You wouldn’t drink 8l of anything

    Let’s do none of these kids. This message brought to you by the number “don’t be a fucking stupid” and the CIA. Remember kids, I can’t start foreign wars for oil if I don’t have soldiers!

    LD50 is 5,800 mg/kg

    I’m kind of surprised it’s that high.

      That means the average adult male could have about ~24fl oz/0.74L of acetone and only die half the time

      Just dilute it a bit and you got yourself a new drink

      Acetone is weird, it’s produced in our bodies and processed with normal metabolic processes. But 5kg still seems like a lot!

      Acetone is produced and disposed of in the human body through normal metabolic processes. Small quantities of it are present naturally in blood and urine. People with diabetic ketoacidosis produce it in larger amounts. Medical ketogenic diets that increase ketone bodies (acetone, β-hydroxybutyric acid and acetoacetic acid) in the blood are used to suppress epileptic attacks in children with treatment-resistant epilepsy.[29]

      It’s so volatile by the time it warms up it all comes out as gas.

    I once sterilized a worm-infested flower pot with it. They die at once when touched by a drop of acetone. The plant came out ok.

    I was so dehydrated yesterday that I felt like I drank 8L of water. I know it was closer to 2 but god damn it was so good I had to stop myself to breathe half way through.

      Be careful doing that. It takes a fair bit of water, but Water Intoxication is a real thing. It can make you quite ill and even be fatal.

      Drinking too much water dilutes your blood and decreases the electrolytes in your body, especially sodium (hyponatremia). As a result, water moves into your body’s cells and causes them to swell. When you get too much water in your brain cells, it increases pressure on your brain and affects how it works. This leads to changes in your awareness, movement and behavior (altered mental status). Water intoxication is also potentially fatal.

      …

      The amount of water that causes overhydration varies. It’s important to understand how your body uses water to know how much is too much for you. Your body removes excess water through your pee. In a day, this equals about 32 to 64 ounces (about 1 to 2 liters). In some people, water intoxication symptoms can develop after drinking about a gallon (3 to 4 liters) of water over an hour or two.

        It’s extremely unlikely unless you’re doing extreme things like running a marathon or forcing yourself to drink way beyond how thirsty you feel.

  “Put that down! I’ve had enough of this nonsense, I’m pouring this down the drain!”

  “No! You can’t!”

  “The, hell, I can’t!”

  “No, I mean you actually can’t, it destroys the plumbing!”

    I mean they technically still can pour it down the drain. They just shouldn’t.
