Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Vitamin C more harmful than gasoline is an interesting one.
Yeah, very confusing if you don't understand how the data works.
Even water is lethal!
Yeah, the ld50 for gasoline is 5000 mg/kg, not 14,000 which is the limit for acute toxicity. This whole chart is shit.
Specifically from the sun, too. I have never heard of anyone dying from too much sun exposure that's not related to the temperature or skin damage.
Not possible to get 3-3.5 grams (based on bodey weigth) of d vitamin from the sun. Since the body produce about 25 micrograms in 10-15 minutes during peak summer. And would just flush the excess. To be leathal it would need to be in one single dose.
So we need a sun laser beam. Got it.
Or just ingest a lot of D vitamin pills.
It is the obvious conclusion ;)
That's exactly what I assumed. It makes no sense. I guess I wasn't clear considering the downvotes.
1000 IU of Vitamin D is 25 mcg. So the LD50 for an 80 kg adult is 37×80×1000÷25 ≈ 120 000 vitamin D pills.
I think you'll be fine.
