minus-squareAzrael@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·2 days agoI’m pretty sure 36 cans of Red Bull would kill you. Humans can’t handle that much caffeine.
minus-squareSimulation6@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down1·2 days agoCan’t find the Death by Caffeine site (or they changed it) any more, but this one says 5 Red Bulls max per day for a 175lb person.
minus-squareAzrael@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·2 days agoThat seems right. The lethal dose of caffeine is 100mg per kilogram of bodyweight.
minus-squareTelodzrum@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 day agoNope. The LD50 of caffeine is between 150 and 200 mg/kg of body weight. And that’s only going to kill half the prior who take it. LD50 is also for instantaneous intake, consumption over time drastically increases it.
minus-squareRooster326@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-22 days agoUh that math doesn’t checkout. I weight 90 kg There is ~110 mg Caffeine in Red Bull. I think I would die long before I got anywhere near 80 cans of Red Bull.
