A whole typical cigarette contains around 10-12mg of nicotine. The wiki says 30-60mg is potentially fatal to an adult, but that it could potentially take as much as 500mg. So for an adult, unlikely. For a child, I see mixed things saying 1 cigarette could be fatal. This says 1-13mg per kg for an infant. So maybe, depending on the size of the butt and the child?
So I just did a bit of research on it and according to Wikipedia and several journals it seems to be definitely possible for someone to die from nicotine poisoning. The wiki article cites two child deaths. I also found at least one article where nicotine poisoning was deemed the cause of death. Warning, it does contain shots of ther person’s dissected esophagus and their stomach contents. There’s a NLM journal article that pops up on a child committing suicide by nicotine ingestion, but the article was missing. So I can say it definitely has happened. I just couldnt find any readily available mortality studies showing how often it happens.
As for anecdotal evidence, I had a client with Pica, who would eat cigarette butts among other things and be vomiting all night.
Capt. Wolf@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that if you can't find a book at the library, you can probably request another one to send it to yours via inter-library loan7·4 days agoI bring this up like every chance I get, but check out Libby if you don’t want to go to the library. You just link your library card and you have access to tons of books, audio books, and magazines. I also just found out about Hoopla a couple days ago and will be checking that out as soon as I go get my library card renewed tomorrow. Same principle, access to your library’s stuff, but also includes music and movies as well.

Also, expecting a public response is a pretty big wish, G2A has always been sketchy at best, use at your own risk. If you can manage a refund, count yourself lucky. Otherwise, take it as a lesson. Call it an idiot tax and stay away.

Capt. Wolf@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•BREAKING: Elon Musk Calls For New Political Party to Stop Trump’s ‘Insane’ Spending Bill1382·4 days agoMan… Just shut the fuck up already and go away…
I’m all for him hurting the GOP and Trump’s image, but he is the absolute furthest fucking thing from what a political leader needs to be… He’s just doing this because he’s an attention whore who’s pissed that everyone hates him. He needs needs to be forced into the cave of mundanity and nothingness like the dispicable little troll he is.
Capt. Wolf@lemmy.worldOPto FoodPorn@lemmy.world•BBQ Chicken, balsamic asparagus, and homemade German potato saladEnglish1·6 days agoDefinitely more of an estimate just cause I was eyeballing it and trying to remember what I did before I forgot it all.
Lot of the stuff I cook for work just kinda gets a little of this and a little of that based on how much I need to make. Then when they like it, I have to go and remember weeks later what it did!
Capt. Wolf@lemmy.worldOPto FoodPorn@lemmy.world•BBQ Chicken, balsamic asparagus, and homemade German potato saladEnglish1·6 days agoThanks! I don’t really have a problem with mayo either. I’ve never been a fan of mayo based “salads” - potato, macaroni, egg, coleslaw if you want to throw that in there… It’s just not a texture I’ve ever liked. Same reason I don’t do pasta salad with dressing. Cold and slimy just aren’t my thing.
Capt. Wolf@lemmy.worldOPto FoodPorn@lemmy.world•BBQ Chicken, balsamic asparagus, and homemade German potato saladEnglish12·6 days agoAnd in case anyone wants a really vague recipe.
- 10 lbs of potatoes
- 1 lb bacon
- 1 yellow onion, medium sized, diced
- Chives
- Parsley
- Sugar
- Apple cider vinegar
- Mustard, I used stone ground
- Black pepper
- Salt
Slice and rinse the potatoes and boil for about 25mins until they’re fork tender.
I only had precooked bacon crumbles, so I rendered them down a little more along with some olive oil to use that to cook the onions. Bacon gets chopped and goes into a large bowl. Onions go into the bacon grease/oil mix along with maybe half a palmfull of chives and parsley, couple half teaspoons of black pepper, half a palmful to a full palm of sugar, a few shots of ACV, maybe a quarter to half cup, a good squirt of stone ground mustard, maybe half a teaspoon of salt. Cook the onions down til they’re browned. Drain and mix the potatoes with the bacon, then pour the onions in and mix it all together.
The asparagus is literally just cento balsamic glaze and some extra bacon crumbles. Chicken was nothing fancy either, adobo, a brown sugar bourbon spice mix, and some old bay baked 2 hours then topped with Aldi BBQ sauce. Too hot to grill so it went in the oven.
My clients destroyed it though.
Capt. Wolf@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•The Democrats’ Secret Plan to Destroy Democracy2·7 days agoNo, it’s not a sidebar rule, it’s in the top stickied post in the channel, albeit linked through lemmynsfw. I’d still take it as a rule, but it really should be clarified and added to the sidebar.
After much hinting and me going off, she clearly just didn’t care…
We eventually just started keeping the leftovers upstairs. If the guys ate it in a sitting, so be it, we at least had a teachable moment when they came and complained their stomach was upset.

I’m sure that’s also largely exacerbated by things like the oil industry suppressing data and the whole anti-global warming movement to boot…
Definitely not. She was salaried and made a little more than double what I do.

“…It’s a mystery…”
No, it’s not… There’s decades of research in the effects of smoke on people and things. It took a quick Google search to find them. Let’s just say it’s bad…
