Almost every jar of pickles claims a serving of pickles has zero calories. Now clearly, this is incorrect and the result of exploiting some ridiculous FDA loophole, since anyone knows that cucumbers provide calories.
So let’s say you’re in a situation where you lose all access to food, but you’ve got effectively unlimited access to pickles – like, you’re trapped inside a recently abandoned pickle warehouse.
Could you conceivably eat enough pickles to survive for a month? Two months? Or would your body just shut down from all the sodium and acid?

You’ve never thrown up before?

I think it is after the 2nd or 3rd round
If you’ve had a stomach flu of that variety, it totally is.
I’ve had a flu so bad I barfed every ~ 30 minutes for over 12 hours.
By the end my throat was on fire
Stomach acid is also why people with some eating disorders like bulimia have badly eroded teeth. The acid from throwing up constantly eats away at your teeth.
Yep. I’m always careful to rinse my mouth thoroughly after barfing, even if still nauseous
Just don’t immediately brush! It weakens your enamel, so swish and spit, and wait like half an hour to brush
I didn’t say that
I’m just saying it for anyone who doesn’t know
Correct. Starman said it.
And the acidity makes normal tap water taste sweet as if it has sugar in it, it’s pretty neat
But in this situation you can drink water and wash it down, preventing acid damage to your eusophagus. The author of this greentext can’t get water into their intestines.
Did I say I was trying to solve for greentext’s situation?
My comment is clearly related to vomiting
It’s a much shorter distance from stomach to mouth.
Could we evolve to spit stomach acid on command and burn our enemies
