PSA:

Acetaminophen/paracetamol has a hard stop upper dose limit, above which it becomes extremely toxic.

That limit is 4g (8 “extra strength” (500mg) tablets) in 24 hours (about 2 tablets every 6 hours).

A single dose of 22 extra strength tablets can kill you.

Taking 12 or more tablets per day for more than a week can also kill you (this is about 3 tablets every 6 hours).

Symptoms of overdose take up to 24 hours to manifest, and are fairly difficult to distinguish from other problems. They include abdominal pain (especially right upper quadrant), nausea, malaise, and confusion.

The antidote (n-acetylcystine) must be given within 8hours of ingestion in order to be useful.

After 10 hours the only thing that will work is a liver transplant.

You might think “why would I ever accidentally take so much?”

Well, acetaminophen is in almost everything in the cold/flu/pain aisle. Migraine combos like Excedrin, cold and flu combos like NyQuil, basically anything that says “non-aspirin pain relief”, and anything that’s branded as a fever reducer. It’s all probably acetaminophen/paracetamol.

So the goal of this post is to get you to read the labels on your medications. Because taking taking Tylenol and NyQuil together for a week (like you might if you had the flu) could kill you.

Please don't forget this shit, after it happened to a family member, he died 8 years later because of the continuing health complications even though he survived the initial overdose

[cakeisnotpie]

I didn't know this for years, and I took so many pills, sometimes 4 at one go, every four hours, like 16 a day, because of endometriosis and migraines. It took a migraine specialist to explain rebound headaches and overdoses when I was in my 40s. Then I went cold turkey on all OTC drugs to get off the cycle. Please, please, if a couple tylenol aren't working for you, talk to your doctor or find one who will listen to you if you can.

[shamebats]

For migraine/headache disorders: if common OTC painkillers don't seem to do much for you, triptans or gepants might be much better. There are different types you can try.

You shouldn't take pain meds on more than 3 days a week or 10 days a month. If you need them more often than that, you should be on a preventative.

apparently the average roma tomato contains 11 calories. im flabbergasted by this. it would be so easy to starve to death just eating tomatoes. i bought 30 tomatoes this week for my dehydrator, and my wife was giving me weird looks because that was 2 entire grocery bags of tomatoes. but that is 330 calories of tomato. i would need approximately 12 full grocery bags of tomatoes a day just to meet my basic caloric needs. thats like, 1 bag of tomatoes every hour and fifteen minutes. thats a tomato every five minutes. can you imagine how much your day would suck if there was a timer that went off every five minutes and then you had to eat a tomato or, eventually, you would die?

i used to see those old timey photos of photos of circus fat men and laugh a little because its like. really? this was the fattest guy anyone could find? this guy was so comically fat that he could go to a circus, and people would pay to gawk at him? this guy? i could walk into any bar in my town and lose an arm wrestling match to a guy fatter than this. 110 years ago guy was professionally fat, now he's losing to amateur hobbyists.

but then i think, you know, yes. i could outfat this man with the benefit of modern technology. i could eat two twinkies and smirk at this bastards two fucking grocery bags of tomatoes. i could do that.

but it is actually a hell of an accomplishment to do this with 1910s food. imagine the hell of being the 5 minute tomato man. like, your part time job is just chewing. 20% of your life is going to be chewing. its a grind. its awful. and then you look over, and theres this beautiful bastard, and the timer hasnt even gone off and hes eating another tomato. you're looking at him, and you're gonna say hey, i think you heard someone elses alarm, you dont have to do that, but then he gets another tomato. look at that defiant posture. look at his arms crossed. 12 bags of tomatoes? make it 20. im not scared of you, this posture says. im not scared of being alive. is it work? is it work to exist? of course its work to exist. so much chewing. but whats the alternative, let the fuckers grind you down? let the tomatoes win? he eats another one. you're grinning. you eat your tomato. you cant keep up with him but it feels a little better. this isnt a losing battle. youre alive. youve seen fat bastards before but they were rich. they got fat the easy way, with good food, with good drink, with honey and butter and jam. this guy has tomatoes. he eats another. he cant beat em but he can join em. he can do this. youre cheering. your friends are cheering. he does this for another six months and then he says hes got a new job. hes joining the circus. he is now, finally, professionally fat.

its like watching your friend in a small town get accepted to harvard. youre so proud of him. you wish you could join him, but at least one of you is gonna make it. and you know, youre proud that it is him. you give him a hug. your timer goes off. you eat a tomato. you wipe the tears from your eyes. you wave at him as he goes. your heart is heavy. your timer goes off. you eat. you eat. you eat.

Op i love this post but i also am contractually obligated to ask: What the fuck?

[inbabylontheywept]

so sometimes i write with my brain and sometimes i write with my fingers and this time i started off writing with my brain. but then my brain got tired and my fingers kept going and i just kept watching the words pop up on my screen, and i just kept getting more and more confused by the Work of my Hands until eventually the only thing i could do was click post and hope someone smarter than me would know what just happened.

and now we’re here. confused. together.

tomato for your troubles?

I saw some fanart based on the idea that, during his Shoka Sonjuku days, Gintoki might have had 'blanket syndrome' regarding Shoyo’s swor

So the Security Blanket Syndrome" or "Linus Syndrome." refers to a child’s intense emotional attachment to a specific object (like a blanket or toy) to feel safe. I think it’s a poignant take on Gintoki's trauma.

i think i know what comic ur talking about!!!! yes. younger ginchan would be attached to it like a cat with their fav toy..... that sword's like. his safety net. at first to protect himself.....

[captainsnoop-deactivated2020041]

do kids these days even know what endless 8 is

[captainsnoop-deactivated2020041]

all you young anime fans with your attack on titans and your maid dragons will never know the sheer hell of the time The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya went in to a time loop story arc and made the same episode 8 times and broadcast that same episode 8 weeks in a row

they didn’t just air the same episode eight times

they made the same episode 8 times in slightly different ways

different camera angles, different shots, different outfits

eight times

eight weeks

the same episode

[shrineart]

this is a bit of anime history that i’ve never heard before but sounds horrendous.

[kontextmaschine]

So like the context of this was they gave a light novel series a 13-episode adaptation that lightly dipped into the material and it had a cult following and then 3 years later they rebroadcast it with a campaign teasing that there was a second season but when it came this was 8 of the 13 new episodes

[suntzuanime]

“Cult following” really understates how big a phenomenon Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu was. It was an out of nowhere smash hit and pretty much the biggest thing in anime when it aired, in both Japan and the international fan community. It wasn’t as big viewership-wise as, like, Naruto, or Bleach, it didn’t have that big casual fanbase, but for the serious anime fandom Haruhi was the shit.

Haruhi was at kind of a turning point for anime as a whole. 2006 was the year that anime started airing in widescreen HD and Haruhi was the prettiest of that first batch of shows, which probably accounted for its popularity as much as the plot, characters, and humor did. The detailed dance routine over the ending credits, Hare Hare Yukai, was essentially them showing off how pretty they could do animation now that they were in HD.

The dance went viral in a time when we barely knew what going viral was, YouTube had scarcely been born and it was filling up with people doing the Hare Hare Yukai. I’d credit Haruhi with finally ending the split in American anime fandom between “American Anime Time” fans who watched official translated licensed dubbed releases, which could take years to make it from Japan to the US, and “Japan Anime Time” fans who watched unofficial fan subtitled releases that came out within days. If you were on American Anime Time you hadn’t seen Haruhi, and what kind of way to live was that? People would be doing the dance and you wouldn’t know what it was.

So the Haruhi studio, Kyoto Animation, had the hottest property in otaku fandom since Evangelion, and they spent 3 years milking it and teasing the second season. They put out spinoff videogames, published absurd numbers of character song albums, and adapted unrelated properties just to stuff them full of Haruhi references. (Lucky★Star I love you but that was embarrassing.) They kept the fires of the fandom burning over those three years, so that when the second season came it was the long-awaited fulfilment of a promise, the Second Coming of Our Lord and Savior Suzumiya Haruhi.

And then yeah, Endless Eight. The same episode, week after week. Completely reshot, to prove they weren’t even saving money. It was unbelievable. Frankly I can’t even be upset. Yes, I would have loved more episodes of Haruhi, but I respect the commitment to their art. It sure did make the audience viscerally feel what it was like to be trapped in a time loop. Great art isn’t always easy, isn’t always popular, isn’t always not a giant shitpost. It takes massive balls to take a franchise worth tens of millions of dollars and turn it into a urinal in a museum. That director has lived his truth in a way few men have. With its triumph of artistic integrity over even the barest shred of good sense, Endless Eight represents everything beautiful about the doomed optimism of the naughts.

Damn, Haruhi was a good-ass show. I should rewatch it.
