One week without water creates hallucinations and puts one near death.

The key point is you aren't attacking so much as breaking apart a body. You have to be afraid of being hurt. They don't care. They're dead. Coincidentally I don't care. Wait. Am I dead?

I was always taught that, generally, 3 days without water = death.

My dad went into a coma after two strokes. I had recently learned the "three minutes without oxygen, three days without water, three weeks without food" thing. Per his documented wishes, no attempt was made to keep him going. I was astounded at how long he kept breathing. Every day I expected to wake up to a message saying that he had died, but he just kept going. (He did eventually die but it took a lot longer than anticipated.)

My mom experienced end stage renal disease. She stated that she could feel herself mentally deteriorating and had no hope of improving in the future. She chose to take herself off of dialysis. Five days into that week she also went into a coma. Two days later she was dead.

Sorry. I had a point I was trying to make (lack of intake can hurt you but the details vary) but I got distracted.

Terrible things to have to go through. I hope you are doing OK.

Thank you. Both messed with me for a while, but both were a while ago. I'm okay now.

Assuming he doesn’t abstain from water-containing foods, he might live longer

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 38d

at least he will become like beef jerky meat.

There was a guy here a bit ago who straight up talked about doing this. He thought that his body was acclimated enough to go a week plus without good or water.

Of course it was mental illness, though, because he was hating himself for "putting his family in jeopardy by eating food."

Agent641@lemmy.world · 50 pts · 39d

A week without food is no big deal, but a week without water will definitely kill you

I've posted this before, but I was once at a 7-11 buying a Monster and someone in line with me asked if they were good. I used to enjoy them (I've backed off of energy drinks in the last few years but used to drink two or more a day) and said that I thought they were.

The person asking the question said maybe she'd try them because she suspected she was allergic to water.

I had no good, coherent response to that.

You can’t be allergic to drinking water but you can be allergic to it touching your skin.

It's the temperature that does it, not the water

Edit: I worked with someone with the issue. She could write on her arm with an ice cube and it would raise up where she wrote.

It's this old thing from like a couple years ago where you don't maxx anything because you're not a complete idiot. So much wisdom lost through the ages 😌

Where is the hydrohomies community on Lemmy? This is a 5 alarm emergency. His piss, if he has any, is probably so dark yellow that it's brown. I piss so heavy and light yellow it's like a sun kissed stream from a garden hose. Water is fuckin mana potion.

Hueristic_Autistic@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 38d (4 replies)

All these, "maxxing," trends going around makes my autism cringe. I like being extreme and being repetitive as much as the next person but it's so annoying.

Back in 2013 I remmeebr people being annoyed at everything needing a label and we really do need to label every fucking thing and make it known to the world or talk it up one way or another and then people do the other things that have these stupid ass prefixes or suffixes to random made up words that end up on urban dictionary or by some retarded chance actually in the dictionary.

Can we just call that guy what he is, a fucked up individual that needs fluids.

Doctor said I should stop and drink water again YEAH NO SHIT!!!!!! You can survive days without food you're not gonna get far without water so the fact that person is alive and maybe this is a rage bait meme but the fact he's alive in that picture, means he's drinking the bare minimal of at least 32ounces of water you can survive on 2 bottles of water you thrive on a gallon. You won't make it far with only drinking that little though every day and your body does need at least a gallon a day to survive well.

*please don't try to survive on two bottles of water I'm not even sure if that's true, I'm saying that part more anecdotally because I think that's the least amount of water I've ever drank in a day but then survived on coffee and threw up so🤷🏻‍♂️ *
