GreddanPlease, no shaking the trauma victims.
sp3ctr4l… Lime juice through an IV is probably going to be extremely painful to endure, and could just kill you.
For starters: “My blood is on fire” is roughly what that would feel like, lime juice is extremely acidic.
Beyond that: It isn’t sterile.
So you’re literally mainlining bacterial infections.
Extremely bad idea, its such a bad idea that it would basically constitute a horrific form of torture/execution.
I’m allergic to coconut so I’m pretty sure this would feel similar to me.
I did not realize one could be allergic to coconut, but yes probably avoid that then lol!
It… probably would not ‘burn’ with the same intensity, as its less acidic than lime.
But… being allergic to it… and then mainlining it… seems like a bad idea that would probably also hurt.

It’s the flesh more than the milk, but yea.
Boomer Humor DoomergodWhere are you going to get a coconut on the Western Front? Some kind of swallow-based logistics system?
jqubedIf it’s an African one. Not sure about the European one if we’re talking young coconuts, those things are heavy.
I’m guessing this was somewhere in the pacific

Gets interesting when you start to wonder why a coconut and human blood have the same concentration of electrolytes.
Or why they both scream when you crack them open to get at the yummy liquid inside
We are all coconuts. Someone tell the crab people!
(I screenshotted this and sent it to Rust programmers)
They don’t, not enough sodium for one thing. I guess you first use the clean juice to make them stop dying long enough so you can stitch what’s left of them together, and if they wake up you could tuck a salt pill under their tongue.
Way too much potassium too. It’s like d5w with potassium and mag. Potentially quite deadly over the long term.
Yeah it’s actually a really shitty substitute for blood, it’s just slightly less shitty than dying. It was all about keeping the blood pressure high enough so that what little blood you had would work. Coconut water was one of the only things that could do that without also killing you. It’s still a very bad day
Well you could always go the boiled water and some salt route. “Yo dog I heard you liked shock so I infused some water with bacteria antigens in it so you could go into shock while you’re going into shock.”
The short answer is most of life on Earth shares some basic levels of chemistry. That doesn’t mean it’s a perfect fit though, just that human bodies are resilient enough to make due with terrible substitutes at times.
The swallow may fly south with the sun, or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
A lot of WWII was fought on Pacific islands.
In the Pacific
This is fine🔥🐶☕🔥Were coconuts not commonplace in Europe?
The Bard in GreenCoconuts are tropical! This is a temperate zone!
So that’s a no even for southern Europe, right next to the Mediterranean?🤔

Jackie Chan did it in Who Am I. Amazing 90s movie.
Jackie Chan funny scenes in the dessert, Who am I.
The driving stunts in that movie are so rad
SubArcticTundraThey’re actually perfect because they double up as cannon balls too

ebolapieI would rather die
An unusual reaction to the prospect of having your life saved, but far easier to arrange than other solutions I guess.
There is no greater disappointment for me than biting into something without suspecting a thing, and my taste buds then suddenly being assaulted by the vileness dubbed “coconut flavor”.
In case my remains are consumed by animals or plants, I can’t put them through something I hate so much. I mean, do we even know how long this will make you taste like coconut?!
QuinnyCodedbut it goes in your blood?
Yes, and if anything were to eat me, it would have the same experience I have eating a chocolate.bar with coconut in it :(
If you’ve never been somewhere that has fresh coconut you should try it once. For me old brown coconuts in grocery stores, or dried coconut or the fake flavoring in candies etc = disgusting. Fresh coconut is awesome.
