During the 2020 primaries, he was sleepy and not with it in all the debates, but when it came time for the one-on-one debate with Bernie, all of a sudden he was "fiery" Joe.

The same thing happened at the state of the union. They literally hide him whenever they can, even to the point of him declining a pre-superbowl interview. And then all of a sudden he's "fiery" Joe again during the state of the union.

I have to believe that they are giving him some kind of concoction or drug or something, and I don't think it's conspiratorial to speculate that this is the case.

So to any biology/pharmacy/medical experts out there, what the hell is going on?

... Would you recommend doing sheep electrolytes?

[-] [email protected] 42 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

No. Lemme break down what's gonna kill you in there just for funsies.

In that 8oz bag, there's an absolute shitload of Vitamin A (retinol) and vitamin D~3~ (cholecalciferol). I'm not even gonna bother breaking down the other vitamins because these will kill you way before your body would really even notice the others, based on the amounts there. Chronic vitamin A poisoning causes liver toxicity in people taking more than around 25,000 IU daily over an extended time, about ten times that much will send you into acute vitamin A poisoning which causes excruciating pain, vomiting, drowsiness, increased intracranial pressure, and a skin-peeling rash.

Acute vitamin D poisoning causes hypercalcemia starting around 10,000 IU daily. Consuming 1% or more of this packet per day can result in both of these hypervitaminoses over a few months, consuming 10% in a day would kill you so hard you'd get your own chubbyemu video about how your liver shut down well before your bones dissolved and you pissed them out as rocks, and your skin rashed up and fell off so they had to keep the casket closed at your funeral.

For basically everything else there, the entire packet contains about the amount you'd get either from regular daily multivitamins or the amount of a safe megadose by a doctor, so your liver is going to kill you long before you'd even notice anything else is there.

I love that this website will both allow me to interact with nutrionists, food scholars, hydrologists, people preparing for armed resistance and (un)ironic phrenologists. There's no place like it.
Thank you for the breakdown

I'm none of these things, I'm just a girl with a Merck manual and too much time on her hands. My professional focus is PoliSci, in which I have a Ph.D.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago

That's also very cool, though I am now obligated to call you a nerd for having a Ph.D

[-] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

the worst Ph.D

No wait, the second. Econ is the worst.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Isn't there Ph.D's that are just MBA's for suckers that think you can actually "learn" business? (Not counting Econ, which is Ph.D's for people that want to rediscover Marxism)

[-] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

Econ is a PhD for people who want to try to explain things without Marxism. This invariably fails.

There are tons of bullshit PhD programs. Shit like Management or Business Econ. I met a dude with a Strategy PhD from Harvard Business School once, and it was all total nonsense as far as I was able to glean. All business degrees are pure bullshit. It's a PhD in taking over daddy's business.

(in)ironic phrenologists

White people are ontologically evil wdym

[-] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Thanks for pointing out the spelling mistake. I know you're joking, but I've seen plenty of users do bioessentialism unironically , but believe themselves to not be wack, because they're being weird about white people.
People need to do some self crit.

so what farm supplement do you recommend?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Americans, I am legally not allowed to tell you that you can get dirt cheap antibiotics from most farm and veterinary supply stores without a prescription.

Your fish or goat will be good as new in no time...

I gotta say, given everything you just said, "For animal use only. Not for human consumption." seems like a woefully insufficient warning label

[-] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

It's not even supposed to be dissolved into a glass of water and drank, anyway. It's supposed to be dissolved into 110 gallons of water. I guess if you dissolve half of it into your bathtub and then drink a glass per day, that could be fine but like there's no way you're going to use it properly without an industrial size water container.

Like, there's no way to follow the instructions for appropriate use for individual consumption.

Lemme break down

This is 100% off topic, but every time somebody says that, I think of this.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

only with a healthy breakfast of horse glop

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

½ teaspoon per quart, and drink no more than half a quart of electrolyte solution daily iff you're in an absolute pinch and do not have access to any vitamin-containing food. I am not a doctor though.
