Why would it be called a solvent if it doesn’t solve anything???

It should actually be solven’t, but they forgot the apostrophe

Respectfully disagree. It’s solves all the drinkers problems with 100% effectiveness.

Well, it does. Unless you drink too little.

I drank ever clear once, for $20, on a dare. One sip and it took my breath away. Sticking to the Irish whiskey.

Mine was 151. Back when they had the metal screen. Had a street hockey team mate pass, brought it out, and in some stupid testosterone driven bravado, pried off the metal restrictor screen and took a huge swig. “Took my breath away” would be an understatement of orders of magnitude.

For my 21st birthday a few friends came and visited me at college, we went to the liquor store and one of us grabbed the 151 everclear to do shots of. We did shots of vodka as a chaser.

I know what you mean about it taking your breath away. Took a sip of lab grade anhydrous ethanol once (200 proof), really do not recommend it. My lips and gums burned, and my tongue shriveled as the ethanol sucked up all the moisture in my mouth. Nothing good about it.

100% ethanol is toxic in ways lower concentrations aren’t, anhydrous or not. Even veteran alcoholics can get destroyed instantly as the ethanol causes chemical burns of the mouth and digestive tract.
0-68% =Astringency
68-94% = Tingly
94%-100% = apoptosis from denatured cell walls.

There should be reward like free grave space or something if they can really finish the 8L of acetone.

You’ll have the rest of your life to regret it

I mean it smells good enough. Could imagine it would be quite tasty mixed with sparkling water.

Could you? No, I couldn’t.
Solve you? No, I solven’t.RuthBaderGonesburg@hexbear.net 1 month ago
Don’t be fooled. “Solvent Grade” is just marketing hype. The stuff you get at the drug store tastes just as good.

As someone who used acetone as a solvent in a past life (job) - it had a way of speeding up the healing process of cuts/abrasions. Not super great for the organs involved in filtering out the mess afterwards, haha.

You certainly wouldn’t regret it for long

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.
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 month ago
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.

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.

“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!”
otacon239@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I mean they technically still can pour it down the drain. They just shouldn’t.
