This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That's about 11 cups of coffee. Should be okay.

I calculated the LD50 times average adult weight divided by 100mg per cup before, and I think the result was over 100 cups.

Thats less than 3 large starbucks coffees. I guarantee you some people are hitting that on the reg.

Speedrunning caffeine addiction

wtf is that product, op can't be the only one misunderstanding it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 minutes ago

i thought it was shampoo 😂

[–] candyman337 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It has "energy" and "caffeine" on the front, OP didn't read

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

that's fair, I more meant the sheer amount of it though

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

"Mio" is one of those products where you squirt a little bit into water to give it flavor. It's extremely concentrated. Honestly, I don't know how OP even managed to drink it all without diluting it first. I've tried drinking a single squirt of a similar product before, and it was awful.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 2 points 1 hour ago

They probably didn't drink it, they likely calculated how much was in it and made a funny.

Pretty much anything that says "energy" in it will have a ton of caffeine, surely everyone knows this by now...

This honestly makes so much more sense from an environmental standpoint. Why waste so much in terms of resources shipping hundreds of millions of pounds of sugar water every month so picky babies that refuse to drink water will pump more money into the coca cola empire so they can get type 2 diabetes as fast as possible. Instead just ship this little cup thing at 1/18th the weight and save so much gasoline, road wear and tear, etc.

Who am I kidding, they’ll just put this into plastic bottled water that’s been shipped from 3 states over

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Eww stateside water?? Nah bro give me that other side of the world Fiji water.

[–] Hideakikarate 15 points 5 hours ago

It's a water flavoring. Most are just that, water flavoring. Few squirts into a water bottle make water more "palpable" for some. There are different types of this water "enhancer" that contain caffeine. This is one of those kinds.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Looks like Mio, you add it to your water to get flavoured water. I guess like Tang or Kool-Aid but modern and typically zero calories or something like that.

I'm guessing this one has caffeine and for some reason they chose not to mix it with water.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

I like it. Use the filtered water at work, some of this when I want flavor/caffeine.

The black cherry flavor is honestly great. And if you happen to have a carbonator at home try it carbonated...

ld50 150 mg/kg

Anon almost definitively survived, but they got on a fucked up ride

[–] schmerm 39 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

LD50 just means half of a test population dies at that dosage. Anon took just over 1/10th of LD50 so there's a nonzero chance things did not go well

[–] Gullible 27 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Study I read stated that 57mg/kg was the lowest recorded ingestion leading to mortality. Anon’s organs lost a few steps but they’re likely fine enough

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

So more like ~1/4 towards potential death level amount. Bro is never gonna touch caffeine again after riding this out

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 1 points 1 hour ago

Nah, they'll be back on the horse soon enough like a good anon...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

So ~10 200 mg for anon would be lethal?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 hours ago

Assuming all that caffeine went into their blood and nowhere else they're only about 2x above where it starts being lethal. Should be fine, maybe
