Suicide by Hotdog

[stoiccactus]

Someone here mentioned that hotdogs have SN in it. If I wanted to kill myself by hotdog, how many hotdogs would I have to eat? Asking for a friend

 

[bing]

Lol

 

[Lullaby]

I thought you meant letting a hot dog getting lodged in your throat on purpose

2500 hotdogs

They do have nitrite in them (it gives them that pink color), it's 2% or less than. Maybe a dump truck full of hotdogs?

 

[UnravelingWinter]

The USDA limits nitrites to 200 ppm in foods, so with the average hotdog weighing ~38g, each hotdog is only 7.6 milligrams of SN at the most.

You'd need to eat at least 500 for a lethal dose, assuming your stomach could even hold that many, and that doesn't account for the amount of time it takes to digest.

You'd digest more slowly than the SN would negatively affect you.

 

[stoiccactus]

What if I blended up the 500 hot dogs?

 

[its-about-time]

Lmao love it. Well you wouldn't need to eat a crazy amount at once. Eating just 50g of meat cured with SN (including hotdogs) per day increases your risk of gastric cancer by 18% over lifetime. SN turns into a carcinogen once ingested. 50g isn't much. So just eat a shit ton of cured meat every day and maybe it'll give you colon cancer.

 

[UnravelingWinter]

19 kg of hotdogs is a lot to eat, and methemoglobin only has a half-life of 55 minutes, so it would constantly be converted back into hemoglobin since the dose is so diffuse.

 

[odradek]

You'd probably choke before the SN does anything.

 

[WanderingWater]

A chicken bone works, too!
...The Ghost of Mamma Cass whispered it in my ear!

 

[Loaf of bread]

19 kg of hotdogs is a lot to eat

You have a source for that claim?

 

[Kismet]

This is funny lol anything in the right quantity can kill a person. Even water can kill a persons if they drink enough of it. In seriousness tho, I doubt it would be possible to eat enough hotdogs to kill you. You'd have a better chance choking on one. Idk tho, I could be wrong

 

[Bedrock48]

I'm sure you're struggling op but man you guys can get creative, I always think I've seen every method possible before someone else comes out with a banger (no pun intended).

As for the question, I feel you would either get cancer or an intestinal blockage before reaching lethal levels.

 

[NearlyIrrelevantCake]

I've eaten a whole pack of hot dogs in one sitting [sans bun] and that wasn't enough, unfortunately.

Is this a challenge

 

[WanderingWater]

Uh, oh...I fortell many soon2be questions on the horizon.

How many litres of water to kill me?

Sad

lol water intoxication is a thing. I remember watching some videos about strange ways to die or something like that. It's not pleasant i don't think. I just peeped your user name lol

 

[gottablast888]

i wonder if you ate hot dogs/other processed meats everyday if you would die a premature death from all the nitrites

 

[Kismet]

Is this a challenge

Of course not lol it was an interesting question to think about tho

i wonder if you ate hot dogs/other processed meats everyday if you would die a premature death from all the nitrites

Yes, it actually does according to several studies, some creditable. 30min per hotdog or something like that. Not sure the reason exactly tho

 

[Glowarm]

Think you'd get too full and not able to consume enough.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

i wonder if you ate hot dogs/other processed meats everyday if you would die a premature death from all the nitrites

Yes, agree, more than likely. Lunchmeat too. Don't know about the 30 min/dog, though. I would think a number in this case would be extremely hard or impossible to quantify.

 

[lumberdaren]

If you could somehow concentrate sn in the hotdog yes, but i doubt it

 

[gottablast888]

id imagine that it would weaken your heart over the years

An old friend, now eighty-five, told me when I was seventeen that at my age he had resolved to masturbate himself to death. It didn't work for me either: after about five cums I gave up.

I guess almost anything lol

I often think I'm actually far more likely to die of fucking now, in my fifties. Because the buildup to orgasm is longer and the body is generally weaker, orgasm can hit me with a wipeout force that I never knew while younger.

I say we can make this method more efficient if we blend the hotdogs into a smoothie to make use of all the space.

Novel idea: what if instead of eating enough hotdogs to get nitrite poisoning we just… ate the nitrite straight? Somebody should make a megathread!

That really would be death by hotdog
