    Eating charcoal is a decent idea if you’ve poisoned yourself.

    Not as good as going to hospital or just not poisoning yourself in the first place, but it was the first reasonable thing in the post.

      Activated charcoal is a decent idea within a few hours. Days after you’ve ingested fucking turpentine, you’ve long since passed the point of no return. From what I recall, charcoal prevents additional absorption, it doesn’t leech out poison like some sort of magic second liver.

      Though that was assuredly their joke. Just one infuriatingly insane statement after another.
