Devor posted:90,000 mg is 90 grams, but that's per kg of body weight It’s also *purified* water, which doesn’t contain any dissolved minerals like sodium or calcium and so seeks to flow towards the higher concentration of those things in your cells. Including your neurons. Which is how water intoxication kills you: your brain swells up and the pressure starts killing your neurons.

wow what a glorious rear end in a top hat that moment when he almost thinks twice and stops then does it anyway that's either someone you never ever interact with ever again or you laugh it off cause he knows where you hid the bodies Mimesweeper fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Jun 1, 2021 |

No that's just something buddies who are too comfortable around guns would do to each other. It's the equivalent of tagging someone in their balls while they try to drink a beer, but rednecks instead of bros. Beer is almost certainly involved, too. If you can't bruise a friends' testicle, do you even have a friend?

Yeah, not saying I keep up with the people I traded nutshots with over the years, but everyone knows an rear end in a top hat like that. Well, except maybe the mormons. /\ that's the problem, alright, but you go ahead and explain that to them instead of laughing at their stupidity. Because it's still pretty drat funny. At some point, you can't save people from themselves, so just enjoy the show.

Most of the mormons I've known were while I was in the military. They were all pretty chill. When I was in a unit with a singular mormon, he was the only one, dude would drink coffee and proceed to do everything like Sheldon in the episode of big bang where he has a red bull. I don't hold anything against them, lots of people believe in crazy poo poo, but when you tell a mormon no thank you, please take me off your list, they do it. For that, they can have Utah.

Every mormon I've know thought Jesus was going to return, like... within the month. Next month would roll over, and they'd be all "Thought that was the one. BUT, this month, I can feel it. He's coming back this month. It's gonna happen, just you watch."

That's been my experience with more baptist types than mormons. There's also the evangelicals that are all about knocking over that building in Israel to build a temple that Jesus is just gonna disco Stu his way out of when the apocalypse starts. I'll take mormons as neighbors all day.

Analysis-pure water is more about it being made in a clean and repeatable way, with routine testing and containers that don't leech anything that'd show up in the end result. Distilled water for batteries and the like may well be equally pure, but you pay more for the peace of mind (and the certification, which may be relevant). But if you just want to commit suicide in a really baffling way, grocery store distilled should work fine.

I mean I could just roll into my research lab and connect a hose to the 18.2 megaohm water source, go out that way. It'd take a hot second to produce 10 L but I'd get the job done.

If you drink ultrapure water, doesn't it enter your stomach and intestine and mix with tons of other stuff and become just 'kinda pure-ish' water before it can even enter the bloodstream and mix with all the crap in that? It certainly won't be ultra-pure by the time it manages to get to a neuron.

I’ve heard of people drinking small amounts of the lab’s purest water on a dare or “just to see what would happen”. They pretty much all claim to have felt funny but not become seriously ill. The bad feeling could just be psychosomatic.

It certainly won't be ultra-pure by the time it manages to get to a neuron. No, it won't be ultra-pure by that point, but in becoming non-ultra-pure it is diluting your blood plasma, which now being diluted has a lower concentration of dissolved salts than the water inside the neurons and so will osmotically diffuse into them, causing brain swelling and increased intracranial pressure. People literally die from this. Rarely, but it happens. The woman who participated in that radio show contest is only a single example, it's also been seen even with plain old bottled water at raves, when people on MDMA start drinking large amounts of water. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3769979/ quote:There are over 25 reports of ecstasy-associated hyponatremic encephalopathy in the literature, and over half of them are fatalities...A variety of factors contribute to the development of ecstasy-associated hyponatremia, the two main factors being high fluid intake (associated with ecstasy use) and the inappropriate secretion of arginine vasopressin (AVP), which is induced by ecstasy metabolites. Ecstasy induces transient cardiovascular effects with markedly elevated body temperature, tachycardia, profuse sweating, hot flashes, dry mouth and increased thirst [9]. In response to these side effects, rave parties typically have ‘chill out’ areas where party goers have easy access to fluids in order to hydrate themselves as they feel compelled to do. Ecstasy has been demonstrated both in experimental models and in case reports to stimulate AVP secretion [16–18]. Ecstasy metabolites are known to increase the synaptic concentration of serotonin and dopamine, both of which are involved in the release of AVP and other pituitary hormones. Ecstasy ingestion has been demonstrated to increase the secretion of AVP, oxytocin, prolactin, ACTH and cortisol [17, 19]. The combination of high fluid intake with drug-induced SIADH affects place club goers at high risk of acute symptomatic hyponatremia. Drinking a lot of water + taking a drug that makes you retain water = bad.

The ultra-pure water would leech out compounds from the plastic tubing and damage it. Yeah ultra-pure water should basically never be in direct contact with hardware in the lab, it is corrosive to metal and leeches out protective coatings etc. Which is almost never a good idea for sensitive equipment, be it in robots, incubators or for simple washing procedures.

I'm not sure how using distilled would help, though - fresh properly distilled water should have near enough zero minerals to be just as destructive as any other purified water.

Distilled water is often conductive, it has a surprising amount of minerals left because of mechanical problems with the process like boiling water being violent enough to throw around dust and water vapor turning into water coming into very intimate contact with any dust present in the column or condenser not unlike why rain isn't distilled water but obviously less mineralized do to the limited space compared to The Whole Sky. Demineralized water will definitely not be conductive, for reference.
