    Oh, so that’s why I have so much difficulty learning Rust, it’s all the coca-cola I’m drinking

    If you pour water on iron it rusts it, imagine what all that water is doing to the iron in your body!

      Dihydrogen monoxide has a 100% fatality rate. You shouldn’t joke about it.

        A single water molecule has more hydrogen atoms than all stars known in our solar system (totally stealing this joke)

          Fuck me that took 3 reads to understand. Might need a top-up in the old coffee department.

          Didn’t get it… Are you implying that the Sun doesn’t count?

            We only have one sun. But there are two hydrogens in H2O

            How many hydrogen atoms are in a water molecule?

        I wanted to counter this with the fact that you and me are both still alive, so the rate is only approaching 100%, but probably never quite there. Then I did a safety google, and got to learn that fatality rate apparently doesn’t care about the time until death. So as long as I don’t assume I’m immortal, your fact still holds true. But then I remembered that some jellyfish and sponges are considered to be be more or less immortal. Which raises the question: do we count beings which will most probably die out due to the expansion of our own sun as part of that 100% rate?

          I think we are approaching Ship of Theseus territory.

          But more specifically I was referring to the human rate.

    Your stomach acid can break down bone. The only safe way to survive is to remove your stomach from your body.

      Okay, done. Now what?

      Gotta ask, when exactly does this bleeding stop?

      That’s what always made me amused about people talking about crocodiles and alligators being apex predators because their stomach acid was strong enough to break down bone. People did not seem to be aware that their own stomach acid was of a similar pH and could also break down bone.

    fun fact: hemoglobin (red blood cells) transport oxygen by… well, basically “rusting” an iron based protein that bonds to oxygen.

    if you stop rusting, you die! yippee!

    I just took that to mean I can drink from the tub of food grade 85% phosphoric acid we have at the brewery

    Because acids dislodge rust, and Coca-Cola contains citric acid, which is a very weak acid. If you’re looking for a comestible to remove rust, vinegar would work better.

      I don’t know where you are, but real Coke is made with phosphoric acid, which is also used for rust removal or conversion.

      citric acid can also chelate iron to some degree so on acid basis citric acid should dissolve rust a bit better than most. but coke is made with phosphoric acid which doesn’t do that
