Speaking of caffeine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlKMtrMC1Ps

If you drink 12 cans of soda in a day, you are what we call "someone with a drug abuse problem" and should seek help.

That's about the level that put one of my friends in college into the hospital, turns out the caffeine was damaging his heart at those levels.

At one point, I was drinking upwards of 3L of soda a day. There were frequent days when I drank 6L, which balances out to 17 cans of Mt Dew. Which totals up to be *drumroll* 306mg of caffeine. Which is still really not dangerous, according to a cursory search on the internet.

Before I quit the soda habit cold turkey, I dropped four liters of Diet Dr. Pepper a day. Never had any macroscopic ill effects.

EDIT: Granted, I'm large and I acclimated to that drinking problem over the course of more than a decade.

Some people drown their sorrows in alcohol. I drown mine in Dr. Pepper.

Bolded to reflect changed post. Your habit put you at 460mg or so a day. I also quit cold turkey.

I don't even like softdrink that much. O.o
This is kinda scary. I guess coca-cola is alright in small amounts, but I don't ever really buy it unless it's mixed with whiskey. Mountain Dew is nice, but I've never gotten addicted to it, and never buy it for myself.
If I'm buying a (non-alcoholic) drink for myself I'll generally go with iced coffee or ginger beer. Does ginger beer count as "soda"?

[Xantalos]

Is it carbonated?

[Darvi]

Because one of the shittiest things that you can do to yourself is end up with a bunch of fillings by the time you're thirty.

Uh.

...
Really NSFW.
And kids.
And many many people.
Probably Vector.

So NSFWAKAMMPAV?

[Xantalos]

YES

One thing that is starting to bug me a bit. Is whenever there is a talking animal in movies the normal reaction that everyone does is to TOTALLY FREEK OUT!!! Why can't anyone be like "huh, an animal that talks that is quite interesting"

As well another is that there is always a fear of being dissected... How villainous are our scientists that they would KILL a sapient talking animal? Sure they might autopsy it when it is dead or do a brain scan...

[scrdest]

Movie scientists are always 100% evil unless they are exposition dispensers.

[MonkeyHead]

Just like we are in real life.

An asshole from another department proceeded to stick around while I was doing an invasive procedure, ostensibly to "help", but proceeded make annoying and rude comments all the while. Then when I was done she came and proceeded to kick me in the ankle. Hard. I honestly don't know whether to post this on the rage thread or WTF thread.

Apparently the right wingers in the state I live in want the state to secede from the United States, Wat.
