It's almost like the amount of salt matters.

Water: good

Hyperhydration: exists

The dose makes the poison.

After all breathing pure oxygen is incredibly bad for your health.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Everyone that has breathed oxygen has died or will die. Breathing oxygen is 100% fatal.

You don't know that, there could be a baby born recently that will be the first to cryotech and then regenerative bodies.

They would still die from multitude of reasons, like accidents, incurable illness, getting killed... and if that's not enough, there's still the heat death of the universe

Not neccassarily inescapable though. From my understanding you can pretty much stretch out time arbitrarily long by warping spacetime, you could make the heat death for your local area infinitely far in the future.

Theres also the possibility to escaping into a parallel reality that is younger or stable.

Physics thought experiments that people assume to be true; that’s just space fantasy.

? No, artificial time dilation is well recognised. Its one of the most tested theories of all time. Admittedly, what i mentioned goes a step beyond that, but you could absolutely live inside the event horizon of a black hole for basically forever, ACCORDING TO THE THEORIES. Of course we havent experimentally confirmed that, but we havent experimentally confirmed the heat death either. Its all theories, and of the two, time dilation is the more tested and confirmed.

Alternate reality though, yeah thats scifi.

Respiration must be the issue then.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Doesn't matter ... the heat death of the universe will claim all.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

It's even worse than that, recently I was reading about how we're basically in the early stages of an explosion, and the stars are kind of like the initial sparks, which will "quickly" turn off and then it's gonna be a looooong time of nothingness.

And the fact that you might drink electrolyte beverages after sweating.

Yup, human kidneys suck at efficiently filtering out salt and can only do so at a relatively low maximum concentration in the urine. The moment you take salt water that is of higher salt concentration than that, your body uses more water than what you took to eliminate that salt.
