Science MemesThere should be reward like free grave space or something if they can really finish the 8L of acetone.
Why would it be called a solvent if it doesn't solve anything???
Respectfully disagree. It's solves all the drinkers problems with 100% effectiveness.
It should actually be solven't, but they forgot the apostrophe
Well, it does. Unless you drink too little.
Don't be fooled. "Solvent Grade" is just marketing hype. The stuff you get at the drug store tastes just as good.
The true microplastics cleanse
I drank ever clear once, for $20, on a dare. One sip and it took my breath away. Sticking to the Irish whiskey.
Ah everclear, my old friend drinkable hellfire... good times, goooooood times
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.
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.
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
Edit: if you think of drinking acetone based only on my comment, try drinking bleach first! I'm pretty sure it'll fuck you much more than ethanol.
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!
Remember kids, CIA doesn't want you to drink acetone!
The FDA does though.
Wait… ok this may have backfired on me
LD50 is 5,800 mg/kg
I’m kind of surprised it’s that high.
It's so volatile by the time it warms up it all comes out as gas.
Acetone is weird, it’s produced in our bodies and processed with normal metabolic processes. But 5+g/kg 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]

No one names their kids like this any more, now it's all Jayden, Jaiden, J-day, ....
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
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.
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'll have the rest of your life to regret it
Yeah, eyes.
I mean it smells good enough. Could imagine it would be quite tasty mixed with sparkling water.
