The hell kind of vector is a gram meter second per kilogram
gms/kg
That doesn’t look right
lb
Ugh, at least I’ve heard of that
quart
Was this chart made by a mediaeval apothecary?
cylinder
Alright, what the fuck‽
It’s an American. Ld50 is in g/kg. Quarts are our magic bullshit, but idk why they used it vodka is in fifths and handles (750mL/1.5L respectively). Table salt comes in a standard cylindrical container consisting of about enough to kill every other person that weighs 10.7 stone.
The only thing I’ll defend here is cylinder, because we actually all get our salt in cylinders, so it’s a legitimately useful comparison in this one specific instance
So what you’re saying is there’s a 50% chance of me eating 100 frosted cupcakes and surviving
Huh. I guess I’ve been lucky with those quarts of vodka.
I think that one’s off. Ethanol has a LD50 of like 7.06 and vodka is also at around 40% by volume too. Also because I’ve cleared plenty of quarts before I stopped that.
I think there’s also the amount in the body at one time to consider, I don’t think many people aren’t downing an entire quart of liquor in one straight shot.
I love that half is in metric and other half has pounds, foots and quarts.
My metric wired brain just don’t understand it.
