A spoonfulla cocaine helps that medicine go down...

[–] averagedrunk@lemmy.ml 10 points 11 months ago

Plus it makes you more confident and better looking.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 27 points 11 months ago

10% alcohol, cannabis and chloroform. Sounds like a very long night's sleep after a small cup

[–] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 27 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Is it 7*(1-2) = 7 to 14grs, or 7+(1-2) = 8 to 9grs?

Also love the range of potential error. Plus or minus 1gr? Eh, it's fine.

It was defined such that 252.458 units would balance 1 cubic inch (16 cm3) of distilled water at an ambient air-water pressure and temperature of 30 inches of mercury (100 kPa) and 62 °F (17 °C) respectively.

Nice and convenient.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

That's the way I would have done it. Pretty intuitive.

[–] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 10 points 11 months ago (3 children)

So "7 1-2" should be read as 7.5? Do you know if there is a difference between "grs" and "GRS"?

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Considering the active ingredients seem to be listed in bold, I think it’s safe to assume that it was just simpler to use all caps for one part of the label and lower case on the other half.

GRS probably stands for grains. A grain in 1/7000th of a pound, so these is actually not that much per serving. Unless this is using British Imperial Units, which are different from American standard Units. If it’s British imperial, I don’t know how much this is meant to mean.

[–] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 5 points 11 months ago

Found some pics. Definitely 7 and 1/2.

[–] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Agreed. It sent me digging.

An avoirdupois pound is equal to 16 avoirdupois ounces and to exactly 7,000 grains. The conversion factor between the kilogram and the international pound was therefore chosen to be divisible by 7 with a terminating decimal representation, and an (international) grain is thus equal to exactly 64.79891 milligrams.

Pound(mass)

The Avoirdupois entry had a good visual representation as well as more weights history.

The "q. s." remains a mystery though.

[–] morhp@lemmy.wtf 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

The "q. s." remains a mystery though.

q.s. means quantum satis and is Latin for "as much as necessary". Which means they add enough for the right consistency or flavour or whatever, but the exact amount isn't given and might vary.

[–] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 2 points 11 months ago

Gotcha. Terrifying.

[–] schmidtster@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Big words big GRS, little words little grs. The GR and GRS is what should be questioned.

[–] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That makes sense. And the q. s.

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah. Lack of standard notation or standardized font for ingredients. No regulations in ppace for legibility.

[–] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Oh, not grams. I thought the dosage seemed high.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 26 points 11 months ago (3 children)

How much antimony is too much antimony?

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 months ago

It sure is.

[–] uphillbothways@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

More importantly though, how much is enough?

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

The top tax rate

[–] HeapOfDogs@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

After being sick with a terrible cough and realizing that the only good cough suppresent is a controlled substance I bet this shit worked great.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 16 points 11 months ago

“uphill both ways” is a lot funnier if you interpret it as being really blasted

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 15 points 11 months ago

Next time, instead of asking if someone is pregnant, just ask if they are anodyne expectorant.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Nobody ever drove me to school when it was 90 degrees below

We had to walk butt-naked through 40 miles of snow

Worked in the coal mines 22 hours a day for just half a cent

Had to sell my internal organs just to pay the rent

[–] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Replace coal mining with flipping burgers at mc Donald's and that's just today

[–] trones@ythreektech.com 2 points 11 months ago

Didn't have no swimming pool when I was just a lad, our neighbors septic tank was the closest thing we had!

[–] nixcamic@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

If you have cannabis and morphine do you really need everything else?

[–] figjam@midwest.social 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I wonder what this stuff tasted like

[–] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

It probably tastes like nothing because it instantly numbed your tongue.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Can't taste anything when you're instantly unconscious

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 11 months ago

So that's where YOLO came from.

[–] GoosLife@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I would genuinely love to try this one day. I just want to know what it's like.

[–] Okkai@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Same. It sounds like a good time

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Finally Something that can take my mind off life and go to sleep

[–] TheWanderer@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Chug that bottle and you can potentially go to sleep forever 😴

They just released Bill Cosby's recipe for Saturday nights at the playboy mansion.

[–] Quentinp@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

you talkin' to me?

[–] SeeingWhereThisGoes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is this a The big Lez show reference? I just found that series today and that would be quite the coincidence

[–] Quentinp@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah lol xD

grs. is grains, not grams. 1 grain is about 1/15 gram, or 65mg.
