for the actual update of today, read below this article.
I have been considering something that would be a great risk, but it is an actual possibility.
You know what, il just quote some random bits.
Basicly, its raw botox.
"Botulinum toxin is a medication and a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, and is held to be the most toxic substance known to mankind."
"Botulin toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum is often believed to be a potential bioweapon as it is so potent that it takes about 75 nanograms to kill a person (LD50 of 1ng/kg, assuming an average person weighs ~75kg); 500 grams of it would be enough to kill half of the entire human population."
"It is the most acutely toxic substance known, with a median lethal dose of about 1 ng/kg when introduced intravenously and 3 ng/kg when inhaled. This means that, depending on the method of introduction into the body, a mere 90–270 nanograms of botulinum toxin could be enough to kill an average 90 kg (200 lb) person."
Bad:
Its the most toxic substance known to man kind, and a neurotoxin to. You know, the kind of poison that creates zombies in some movies.
Worse:
>Food-borne botulism usually results from ingestion of food that has become contaminated with spores (such as a perforated can) in an anaerobic environment, allowing the spores to germinate and grow.
Worst:
All it takes for me is to walk 3 minutes, find a dead duck or get some garlic and the rest of the materials to grow this in about a month, then contaminate Shoggoth.
And it would probally kill me. Would that count as suicide in the death records?

Do it. It would be the most awesome death this year.
ReplyDeleteyou could make a tinychat broadcast of it.
ReplyDeleteWait, you want to make this in Shoggoth?
ReplyDeleteNot cool, man. You're supposed to create a new life form, not die and leave it to rot.
Also wtf is the language of this site?
As crazy as it sounds, aren't you worried it will mix with spores of the fungie and become airborn? I'm not sure if that's possible or not, but if it is, you could be killed just by breathing near it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, in a more likely scenatrio, what if it kills Shogoth?
die for science
ReplyDelete...oh and zombies.
You can already die from inhaling. Its kind of a dillema, because if the toxin would be succesfull i'd probally die or men in hazard suits would come knocking on the door.
ReplyDeleteI dont think it will kill shoggoth, seeing how the bacteria actually grow better in an environment of rotting food, mold and fungi.
Oh and i dont know about the language, its probally english for most of you, but dutch for me.
it's dutch for all of us.
ReplyDeleteShit. Il try to find how to change it, and maybe so that the time zones are correct to...
ReplyDeleteIf you stick botox in there, you'll die. It will mix with the spores, fly into the air, you'll inhale it, AND YOU WILL DIE. Do you realize how little 3 nanograms is? You'll die, try something less extreme, like rattlesnake venom. And also gloves.
ReplyDeletedude. anything that makes zombies = fucking bad.
ReplyDelete:/ make your own life form, NOT UNDEAD ONES.
obtain a hazard suit before trying anything this extreme. barring that, a gas mask.i heavily advise against this, as it's probably the most stupid thing any one man has ever undertaken. also, you will kill shoggoth if you add substances of that toxicity. stick with simple stuff. most toxic substance you should be putting in there is a swine flu vaccine (2000 times the amount of mercury that would be considered toxic in food. and they inject this shit. you better chances of living with swine flu.) also, do you really think that obtaining raw botox is raelly that easy? if it was, the various terrorist organizations of the world would have latched onto it long ago, even before the security measures of the time would have stopped them. detonate explosives over continental US, explosive airplane fuel ensures maximum biohazard dispersal, and a radius of several miles, is dead instantly. if you DO manage to grow it, you die. if you don't, it probably won't even be for lack of trying. this is stupid. DON'T DO IT!!!
ReplyDeleteUm...
ReplyDeletedon't do it, man. Actually, airborne zombie toxin would be kind of cool.
i doubt what you have is 100% pure botulin toxin. if you do then just don't use it. however, if it's the extremely diluted stuff that people get injected into their faces, then go ahead and throw it in. just don't get any on you. :P
ReplyDeleteSHOGGOTH LIVES!
ReplyDeleteOne thing you don't want is toxic mold spores contaminating food in your house, that is the kind of thing that can not only kill you, but if it reached society at large could kill possibly thousands.
ReplyDeleteSo yeah, go do it.
Glad you decided against this. Your death would have been catalogued under "death by misadventure" and you'd probably have been given a Darwin Award.
ReplyDeletea little unrelated, but have you tried placing a candle inside any of them and sealing them of to burn of the oxygen and create an anerobic enviroment?
ReplyDeleteA while back a gourmet lobster stew caused the death of like 10 rich people due to botcholism(no idea how to spell it).
ReplyDeleteIf it produces it then you might die, and, if you do, do us a favour and try to feed yourself to your creation.
BUt lets not hope you die and continue this fun experiment
