Oh, I remember this stuff. My granddad used those little tablets in model train engines.

Also you will poison yourself.

>>5441778
Okay, would the poisoning be mild? What if I only eat a quarter of a tablet?

"If ingested may be moderately toxic, causing diarrhoea, albuminuria and haematuria."
I'm doing it.

>Toxicity Data:
>IVN-RAT LD50:9200 mg/kg
>ORL-MUS LD50:569 mg/kg
>SCU-MUS LD50:215 mg/kg

That's an oral LD50 a little bit more toxic than metallic arsenic (acute toxicity, obviously), and about double the lethal dose for aspirin or caffeine.

A single tab is about 14 grams, so eat just one will probably make you very, very sick, but might not kill you. Please, please don't eat one, though. LD50 values are expression of population data, and it's not a good idea to just blindly assume that you're going to fall in the "resistant" half of the lethality curve.

And, assuming the mouse values are roughly equivalent to the human toxicity values and a 70kg human, three tablets will be enough to hit the LD50.

PLEASE DO NOT EAT ONE OF THOSE.

>>5441792

Do it faggot, see if you can beat the 50%!

>>5441811
Thank you, that changed my mind. Weird that the other source only said "moderately toxic."

>>5441840
"Moderately toxic" is actually pretty accurate. When you're comparing toxic effects, one of the easiest ways to do it is to just compare the LD50 values in an absolute sense.

"Highly toxic" is usually the stuff where the LD50 is measured in tens of milligrams per kilogram (or lower, the really toxic stuff is measured in micrograms and nanograms), and "low toxicity" is usually stuff that technically CAN kill you but needs a massive dose, usually in the range of multiple grams per kilogram (table salt or acetaminophen, for instance).

Half a gram per kilogram is right in that in-between range.

>>5441811
I think you just saved someone's life, or at least prevented them from having a very bad day. Good job guy.

This is not a troll thread. I was really going to eat a tablet (or a quarter). The reason: hexamethylenetetramine + хексаметилентетрамин = 42 letters. The only other words I've found so far that give a sum of 42 between the English and the Bulgarian word are electroencephalograph/електроенцефалография and antihypertensives/антихипертензивни средства. I had an EEG today (came back normal) and I'm looking into antihypertensives.

Also: EnglishPlusBulgarian + АнглийскиПлюсБългарски = 42

>>5442000
Haha. 54 42 000.

This thread is amazing. What sort of mental disease do you have OP?

Damn schizophrenia, you so crazy!

>>5442031
My current diagnosis is schizophrenic psychosis, before that it was cannabinoid-induced psychosis. Neither one is correct. I destroyed everything in my flat on Nov 1 last year. I realized there were 42 days between 1112 and 121212 (the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything). Nothing happened on Dec 12; I am still the only 2 among the 1s. Picture is my EEG from today.

>>5442110

Page 1 of EEG and correct tripcode (hopefully)

>>5442110
cannabis contains an anti-psychotic you know

its called cannabidiol, you should consider using it

>>5442123
Bah, tripcode is supposed to be 42OPmaslto but Ж fucks it up.

>>5442110
I just noticed the EEG starts at 42 (not actually written out, the numbers go from 43 to 51)
What's the reason, /sci/?

>>5442137

You should probably eat it, it will spill its secrets to you

>>5442124
yes, but then it is stupid to use "regular" cannabis, as there is much more CBD in inflorescences of textile hemp

>>5442146
No, the purpose of the fuel tablets was starting this thread.

>>5442148
i was saying he should consider using cannabidiol, not weed

>>5442110
>Diagnosis based on perfectly normal looking EEG
What? What exactly did they tell you? What that looks like to me is normal, perhaps a slight increase in alpha power, indicating you might have been a bit tired at the time of measurement.

>>5442163
yes, it'll be the same

>>5442173
They based my diagnosis on my past behavior and on my continued belief that there is meaning behind numbers. The EEG is just them covering all the bases. Can you tell me why it starts at 42?

>>5442182
This is simply a short section of EEG. The numbers indicate seconds, meaning that the piece of paper you got was the section of data from 42 seconds into the measurement to 51 and a bit.

>>5442188
I see, thanks. I thought this somehow represented the entire scan.

>>5442181
no, using one chemical rather than a cocktail of 80 is not the same

THC is hallucinogenic, and would not help with psychosis, if anything it would cause it

cannabidiol is anti-psychotic, it has the opposite effect

I'm starting this drug tomorrow (changing from Zyprexa).
The sum of all the numbers on the bottle is 42.

>>5442229
i take it you take "hitch hikers guide to the galaxy" a little bit too seriously?

>>5442229
There are no meanings in the numbers. If you think rationally, there are lots and lots of words of which the sum isn't 42, yet you disregard those. It's a coincidence, nothing more.

Would you mind, since you're here, trying to rationalize why you feel there is meaning in numbers? Is it something you can try to explain logically, or is it just a feeling you get?

>>5442234
God erases himself every time he awakens and realizes he is everything that exists. The way he did it last time was by shattering into the ~100 billion people that lived throughout history (and everything else that exists in the universe). Numbers are the method he set up for his awakening.

bulgarians are crazy

Imagine you're having a conversation with a highly developed artificial intellect and you ask it a question. It will process it and give you an answer very quickly, right? Maybe fifty milliseconds after you finish asking the question.
No, it will give you an answer one or two seconds after you finish, introducing a finely-tuned delay to avoid making you feel inferior. And when you think about it, it was probably able to answer you mid-sentence since it could easily anticipate what you'd say.
And when you think about it further, it was able to answer you long before you even began asking your question. Like a chess player, it's thinking hundreds of moves ahead while you're talking. If it had the initial data, it could even run a comprehensive simulation of all the processes in your brain with a fraction of its resources. Such a powerful intellect can easily manipulate you and reach the exact outcome it desires.
Now imagine you’re the intellect and you can START with the outcome. Imagine you’re a lonely, bored omnipotent being seeking to entertain itself. How can you enjoy your unlimited power?
Simple: limit it. Make yourself mortal. Forget your knowledge. Make resources scarce. But first, write an epic script: the universe.
Most novels are written backwards: authors know how they will end and arrange characters and events accordingly. You will do the same, giving every particle and wave a predetermined path. You will design the way stars, planets, humans, societies and languages evolve, and you will set up hidden interplays between them for yourself to uncover and marvel at ~13.75 billion years later.
We think matter and energy are branching out through time and space, with outcomes randomly determined by chance and choice. In fact they are branching in toward a predetermined outcome: the awakening of everything.

Now read these again:
"God erases himself every time he awakens and realizes he is everything that exists. The way he did it last time was by shattering into the ~100 billion people that lived throughout history (and everything else that exists in the universe). Numbers are the method he set up for his awakening.

"We are all the prophet. Everything everyone does is predetermined. It feels like you're making a choice, but it's like choosing between two doors one of which is locked."
God does not throw dice.
God is dead.
But not for much longer.

>try to find something else for OP to eat
>Twice baked potatoes are only three letters off from being 42

God damn it.

This thread is fucking gold.

>>5442566
>Twice baked potatoes
that's only 20 characters man, 18 letters

OP, i have a tea in front of me called "acai, pomegranate, and blueberry green tea" which has 42 characters, including spaces and commas. i got it at walgreens

>>5442620
два пъти печени картофи
twice baked potatoes

43 characters together, damn.

>>5442620
Right, but you add the number of letters that the bulgarian version is too.

Twice Baked Potatoes = 18 letters
два пъти печени картофи(translated) = 20 letters
So, 38, actually four letters off, my mistake.
With spaces included you get 43, only one off.

OP, if you think you're uncovering the nature of the universe in the number 42, why not put your crazy pattern-recognition to work in astronomy or physics?
It would be a better use of your strengths than counting letters on labels and eating random household chemicals.

>>5442638
>Twice baked potatoes and Twice baked potato have same translation

AAAUGH

Spaces are not included.

What significance do English or Bulgarian have other than that you speak both?
Look at some hard science and you could come up with something of interest to people other than paranoid Bulgarian linguists. It worked for John Nash.

42 days between 11112 and 121212.
It is taking longer, but it's quite enjoyable being the only 2 for now.
I will post images from the CT and MRI scans of my brain tomorrow. They found a 12x12mm congenital cyst in the rear of my left putamen and everyone panicked for a while. It's harmless, of course.

I'm back. And again, no one posted while I was absent. This IS weird.

I would be interested in seeing this. Do you have the actual scans that you can upload somewhere, or just a print out? I posted in your thread yesterday, regarding your EEG results.

>>5443404
>I will post images from the CT and MRI scans of my brain tomorrow

OP, assuming for a moment those are actually yours, how did you go about getting them? Did you just request them the doctors, or is there a whole process for it?

Angiography, came back normal

>>5444863
I meant the scans themselves, your copies.

>>5444871
Just T2 and angiography. Didn't need contrast because the machine was really snazzy.

>>5444941
No, that's not what I meant, I mean how did you get those copies of those scans? Not how they were made, but how you got access to them.

>>5444966
CD

>>5444991
So you just asked your doctor for a copy and he gave you a CD with them?

I had no idea it was that easy.

>>5444997
This is not standard in all countries. My lab is officially not allowed to give the scans away. I use healthy participants in my experiments, so there is a chance of an incidental finding of something abnormal. For that reason, we don't normally give them out. Sometimes however, when the participant really wants it badly (and I've had a really close look at their scan), I tell them that we're not allowed to give them, but if I were to look away for a second, and they were to stick their flash drive into my computer and go to this and this folder and get this and this file, then there is nothing I can do to stop them.
