I can't imagine how uncomfortable he had to feel a few hours after these demonstrations. Not poison or anything, just like, that's a lot of water, fiber, and undigestable pits thst have to go through the system

She is confidently incorrect.
Nah, bitches (gender neutral) just be lying on TikTok, it's a whole genre
The missing relevance in the food ones is that those are the amounts of "undiluted" and "chemically available" versions of those specific poisons it would take.
For the water, there is currently no exact known amount of water that is considered a fatal overdose, but the amount she quoted is the smallest known/documented quantity to have "worked" at least once. It usually takes much more. She probably asked AI.
I would imagine, despite the evocative way he edited this video, he probably didn't just take her at her word and then see if she was right. It would be very easy to disprove her in words, but if capable, certainly hold more weight to disprove her in video format, knowing he was safe the whole time.
Or how these things affect different people of different sizes, age, gender, make up and even race.
14 glasses of water for a child or even small teenager would probably be dangerous.
Large amounts of alcohol would be the same thing as it all depends on your mass weight, tolerance, how often you've been drinking (which by the way works both ways ... you could have been drinking regularly for ten years and have a strong tolerance for alcohol, or you could have been drinking regularly for 15 years and now your liver is shot and you have no more tolerance)
The thought of race and cultural background came to me because I was thinking of lactose intolerance which is culturally specific to different groups of people who historically didn't drink milk or milk products. I'm indigenous Canadian and I'm lactose intolerant and I remember being a teen and entering into a challenge with a friend who was white into drinking milk shakes. I knew I was lactose intolerant but I was a dumb kid. I think we both drank four large milkshakes and we didn't win or lose and just laughed at drinking that much milkshake. He didn't think twice about it. I went home, farted continuously for hours and felt like my stomach wanted to explode, it was actually painful. Just at the point where I was scared and wanted to go to the hospital, it got better and I got over it. Ever since then it made me think that if I had just a bit more, it would probably kill me.

Ah, the ole 'one cigarette has enough nicotine to kill ya' line. Yeah, sure, if it was all at once and got past the blood-brain barrier.
The cherry one is so stupid. If it was that little, you'd see a lot more people using three cherries as a suicide method... You'd also see way more reports of people accidentally dying from eating cherries
Edit: was curious and looked into it further. Its SORT OF true but extremely misleading and missing a crucial piece of information. For you to experience cyanide poisoning symptoms you need to eat 7-9 pits after the pit has been grinded up. The human body doesn't break the pit down so it passes through with no amygdalin being released
thank god she didn't say a bag of almonds then ...
Brave or suicidal dude eating those bananas..
I'd be full after 3 banans, how did he eat so many banans?
Unless that video is spread out over a day, the dude would be puking just because the stomach would stretched beyond capacity. This probably isn't the most definitive source, but it's good enough for a lemmy comment. If one (medium) banana is 118 grams, the dude just ate something like 56.64 kilograms of bananas. I think that's something like 50,000 calories as well. I don't remember the actual number, but there is a physical limit on calorie absorption due to the process of digestion (you've only got so many surface microvilli and their mechanisms for intake/transport), and it's something like 30,000-45,000 calories a day.
I can see the light/shadow changing behind him multiple times during the time-lapse, so I'm guessing he ate them over the course of three or four days. It's hard to make out, but some of the banana peels definitely gain brown spots/regions over the couple of seconds, and that definitely doesn't happen quickly.
The fructose in most fruits also causes problems in large quantities (do a quick search on gout and fructose, it's a fun little biochemistry question), so that dude couldn't have been feeling too well afterwards. Normally you see it with folks who drink lots of sodas regularly. I think the example we were given was a dude consuming 4-5L of soda per day.
This man is immortal.
