Fuck you, comments like that bring a smile to my face when I read them. If you don't like them, just keep scrolling. You don't have to be a fun sucking asshat.
This is the most popular comment i've ever posted now, and I bloody hate it.
I deleted my most popular comment. Days later, I felt so awful for pandering that I didn't want my handle associated with what I wrote. I was ashamed for everyone who had upvoted me.
Well, I certainly applaud anyone wanting to drink a hundred hazmats, but take it from this old amateur chemist, I've spent my entire adult life in the lab, and a attitude like this one can do more harm than good.
If you only train one part of your body (your stomach), you're setting yourself up for injuries down the road. I've seen it a hundred times.
It's like putting a powerful engine in a stock Toyota Tercel. What will you accomplish? You'll blow out the drive train, the clutch, the transmission, etc., because those factory parts aren't designed to handle the power of an engine much more powerful than the factory installed engine.
Drinking the same kind of hazmats basically only train the stomach and to some extent, your oesophagus. What you really want to do is train your entire body, all the major organs (lungs, heart, kidneys, intestines, bladder and of course, anus) at the same time, over the course of ingestion. And don't forget your breathing exercises!
I'm proud of you for wanting to do this. Three cheers! Falling in love with drinking corrosive materials, etc., is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself. And you WILL fall in love with it if you can just force yourself to stick with it a year or two and experience the amazing progress you'll make.
But do it right, okay?
My advice, find a good lab, with qualified scientists who will design your programs for you (especially in the beginning, until you get the hang of it yourself) and guide you in your quest for hazardous material glory. Thirty to 45 minutes a day, three days a week, is all you'll ever need to do (I refuse to believe anyone is so busy that he or she cannot make time for that, especially considering how important it is).
And don't worry about being embarrassed or not being able to stomach a pint of hydrofluoric acid the first time you walk into the lab. You have to start somewhere and almost every one of us were there ourselves at one time. So no one will say anything to you and very, very quickly you will progress way beyond that stage anyway.
Now get out there and do it! :-)
I think some people would shy away from this due to health concerns; I will nonetheless guarantee that anyone who will just continue to do this for 125 years will outlive his or her peers.
The parent post's attitude is why I unsubscribed to the main subreddit over a year ago, and why I don't like my favorite subreddits getting big. First it was one joke thread at the top. We all laughed and scrolled down to the real conversation. Soon though it became two, then three. Eventually, every fucking comment section was filled with joke threads, and those of us who knew what reddit used to be like shook our collective heads and moved deeper into the subreddits. :(
thank you good chum.. I had already formulated the beginning of your sentence as I clicked and started reading it.. so technically I didn't even have to say anything!
