The hell kind of vector is a gram meter second per kilogram

gms? Wtf.

gram [g]

The gram (originally gramme; SI unit symbol g)

I propose g/kg body weight.

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 love that half is in metric and other half has pounds, foots and quarts.

My metric wired brain just don't understand it.

Ohhh, Murikan units, fyi:

1 US quart (qt) = 0.946352946 liters (l)

So, not exactly breakfast, but a nice desert after dinner.

The relentless muddling of metric with imperial measurements is not only bewildering but an absolute affront to rationality.

When dealing with the critical precision of LD-50 values, why persist with this nonsensical jumble instead of adopting the metric system entirely?

The table's careless presentation of 'gms/Kg' without specifying units in each entry is a grotesque oversight.

Is this some cruel American prank designed to torment and confuse the rest of the world?

These numbers look very questionable. Twice as much salt as alcohol to kill someone? I'm sorry but I call bullshit.

Technically, LD50 specifies a time of death within 2 weeks of the consumption. That is very relevant for some items on this list, but there you go. Also, Morton Tender Quick is 0.5% Sodium Nitrite so 1/22nd of a 2 lbs bag is enough to kill you and much faster and more reliably than 175 lbs of cured meat.

wtf ive drank vastly more vodka than that, why am I still living

Now I want a 250 ft long sub...

If only a quart of vodka actually did that.

Quart of vodka my ass! We call that "breakfast"

I think if I ate 175 pounds of cured meat, the sodium isn’t what would kill me.

Mmmmmmmm, 50,000 potato chips.

gms/kg

The what now

Okay, I'm in. Where is the bacon so I can test this empirically?

That's a LOT more salt and a little less ethanol than I would have thought.

I only saw a cropped picture and thought it was the recipe for Rum Ham.

if you plan on eating an entire cylinder of table salt and nothing else you amaze me

LD 50 is tested on animals so it's not quite a 1 to 1.

Even tho i hate cupcakes the 100 one looks easy enough .

Sort of relevant
