The Secret Ingredient in Kindergarten's Poison Nuggets! | The SCIENCE of... Kindergarten

Dear Con Man Games, I know Kindergarten 2 JUST came out, but I'm still playing it and maybe I'll have an idea for a theme for it in the future. But now is not the time. Because I need to go back ALL the way to Monday and talk about Kindergarten 1, because while I was playing it in anticipation of the sequel's release, I came across the scene where Nugget hands you a, well, chicken nugget to eat . Remember the taste of the nugget of friendship. Okay, calm down, buddy. Anyway, it turns out that this chicken nugget, if you eat it, is

poison

ed.

Which Nugget uses as leverage during lunchtime to get you to give another

poison

ed nugget to the school bully, Buggs, in exchange for the antidote. Which you can do, or call Nugget's bluff and find out NO. I wasn't lying, and if you don't get Buggs to eat that nugget, YOU WILL DIE. The poison is real. Dumb, you already know about the random murder five years ago. There's really nothing new here in The Game Theorists ANGRY OPERA Anyway, this scene is weird, like, it's weird... It's weird! I mean, okay, it's definitely weird from a refrigerator logic standpoint, but what kindergartner has access to poison? and an antidote, really?

Nugget is five years old, maybe six, and yes, he's a little strange and, obviously, this game takes place in a strange Quinton Tarantino alternate dimension, where the main currency is ultraviolence and, yes, a kindergartner who has access to poisons probably is. The last thing I should worry about in a game that has Cthulhu aliens and Yu Gi Oh cards that can summon the Apocalypse, but I CAN'T help it. I'm broken inside. :( So, you know, I started researching poisons, because I REALLY wanted to seal the deal with the NSA. And you know what? After researching this for 30 grueling hours, doing dosage calculations.

I've learned a lot from Scary Realities About Our World that make me want to NEVER go out again. So could Nugget, a kindergartner, have access to a poison strong enough to kill Buggs? And if so, what poison could he get? an antidote? Let's find out together! Because the answer to this simple question is surprisingly complicated, deliciously mortifying and chemically fascinating. The first thing I did to start getting to the bottom of this nugget problem was NO! chicken

nuggets

NOT because I wanted to eat them, I'm more of a double quarter pounder with cheese guy, no, I wanted to check the scale first We need to keep in mind the context of the different doses of the different poisons we are going to talk about. today.

Also, and I hope this goes without saying, please don't poison people. Anyway, I weighed my

nuggets

to get an idea of ​​the average weight of chicken nuggets and it appears to be 13.25g, which we're going to use as a unit. One nugget is equivalent to 13.25 g. I did a lot of research on toxins and there are some things I could rule out right away, like animal poison. You see, the general distinction between a poison and a poison is that the poison is injected into your body, directly to cause harm. Meanwhile, poisons are harmful if you swallow them.

Some poisons may be poisons, but almost all of them are, well... I mean, you'll never find a doctor who recommends swallowing snake venom. But in general, they are just not that harmful and can be poisonous. It's actually harmless if ingested, so it's not much of a poison. So after that I started discarding things. Tetrodotoxin is a no because it has no antidote and is only found in pufferfish. Hemlocks are incredibly toxic. Rest in peace, Socrates, and they can be found literally everywhere. But actually. kill you too quickly and I don't have a known antidote, in fact a lot of poisons were ruled out because they don't have a known antidote.

Poisons with antidotes are super rare in general. Hey, I poisoned you, but I have an antidote that will magically cure you. It's nice. It's a complete Hollywood invention. You know, what TV show really does it right. Breaking Bad, vomit, take a pill and then continue needing. Extensive medical treatment is basically what most poisonings look like. This is actually what ruled out my favorite choice, botulinum toxin, because it's actually SUPER abundant, it's the main toxin used in Botox and the most potent toxin in the world. Just 23 nano grams or 3 billionths of a nugget of this toxin is enough to basically kill you instantly.

The toxin is produced by bacteria. That's literally everywhere spores need to be in an anaerobic or oxygen-free environment to release a toxin. Which makes poisonings quite rare is a rule, but it is the main cause of botulism, a very common form of food poisoning. The point is that there is no known antidote! (Well, this is a mystery...) So I dug up the nuggets that are rotting in a giant pile of nuggets in this cave to grow super toxins... and suddenly I thought of cyanide. That which is found everywhere in our food, specifically in apple seeds, although in very small quantities. and a

kindergarten

er who has full access to them and turns out good, there's no way we're getting there.

I need to take a breather for a second looking at a picture of puppies before I move on to talking about poison. more, Aww it's so cute! *ungodly noises* Alright, let's do that or we cut to black to the music before we talk about lunchtime. *Silence* We need to talk about lunch and not just because I'm hungry. One thing we haven't done yet is establish how quickly the nugget poison acts because some toxins can act in seconds while others take hours or even days, so we need to establish that. a time frame to know how fast it is working.

Let's review our chain of events during the morning. Nugget will give you a poisoned friendship nugget during lunch. He uses the fact of him as leverage to make you feed Buggs a nugget of poison. Nugget claims that the chicken nugget he poisoned you with had a lower dose. That bothers your nugget, but it's still fatal, esteem, so you have until the bell rings that means the end of lunch until you pass out and you're not wrong if you give the insects the poison nugget. Dies at the end of the lunch period in the United States Kindergarten lunch periods are technically about 30 minutes, bugs can die in the space of one consumed apple, which, given that there are about five apples per period, it is approximately six minutes.

Meanwhile, you die in the space of six blocks, which is roughly equivalent to 40 minutes, insects can also take about 30 minutes to die. So there is some wiggle room and since poisons are imprecise and vary in effect from person to person, it actually makes a lot of sense and fortunately a death time of 30 minutes is consistent with the toxin that we're about to discuss, cyanide, which brings us back to apple seeds and it turns out that this whole cyanide in apple seeds thing is kind of a real apple seed. They have cyanide per se, what they do have is a chemical compound called amygdala, which is what is known as a cyanogenic glucoside.

And it makes more sense. If I show you, this right here is the amygdala, which on its own is pretty harmless. But you can see this part at the end, here and there. This is cyanide, and when amygdalin reaches the intestines, the metabolization process breaks down in this part and begins to distribute throughout the system. And this has poisoned people, while apple seeds contain very, very small amounts of amygdalin, apricot seeds. They have a much higher percentage by volume and some people have bought them to eat for their false and super discredited medicinal property of curing cancer, while jealous people ate too many and got cyanide poisoning, good thing for us though is that cyanide has a fairly effective antidote, which is relatively attainable if you know where to look for it, it is a combination of amyl nitrite, sodium nitrite and sodium thiosulfate, all of which are easy to find and you can reverse the symptoms.

Basically, anyone on earth said he might be able to do it. to help you now Details are difficult to obtain and apricot seeds have a wide diversity of amygdalin concentrations. The average seed weighs point five grams and has approximately 19 milligrams of amygdalin with a fatal dose of approximately 500 milligrams per kilogram of body weight in the average weight of a five-year-old child is eighteen point four kilograms. It means that we need about 9,200 milligrams of amygdalin to kill insects, which is roughly equivalent to point six and nine nuggets worth more than half a nugget, but remember that it is only the dose of amygdalin that draws out the amygdalin. of crushed apricot seeds is a really complicated chemical process involving organic solvents that are probably above the abilities of the average high school student let alone a

kindergarten

student, which means you would have to rely exclusively on apricot seeds. ground apricot.

How many would you need? It is worth 234 grams, which at half a gram per seed is equivalent to more than 469 seeds. What does that mean for our poisoning? Well, to introduce a fatal dose into the insects, if the nuggets are fried and made exclusively from seeds. It would still take more than 35 apricot seed kernels to poison the insects 35 times, will we feed it in the game? There is no way. This is the poison Nugget used and with that I thought I was done. I felt defeated. No kindergartner would be able to get a hold of a controlled substance very easily, much less reverse its effects.

And then by chance, literally by accident, I realized the answer. He was looking at my face the entire time. What is the most important item to pick up in kindergarten besides the Hall Pass and the voice recorder, the item that saves you? They repeatedly watch the pack of cigarettes from the hallway... and it may not seem like a big clue to you, but that's why I'm here! The most disgusting detective in the world. I'm here to tell you that this pack of cigarettes in the game is the key to everything. What's even more brilliant about that pack of cigarettes is that it not only gave me the clue to look for the right poison. but once I started doing all the dosing mechanics, I'll save that part for later.

Let's get to the nicotine in meat. Did you know that nicotine is one of the most toxic substances on the planet? It's not botulinum, of course, but it is very, very deadly. People who work with pure nicotine must be very careful. If even a little bit gets on your skin, it can send you to the hospital. I mean, in nature it is used as an insecticide when insects eat. plants that contain nicotine, they make your whole body collapse! They can die in seconds! The average cigarette has 12 milligrams of nicotine, and a really enterprising killer child, although he would have a hard time getting a pack or even a full cigarette, could simply walk around until he finds a very full ashtray and take the butts home.

You know, I'm just going to say that this nicotine is soluble in water and has a higher boiling point than water. It is difficult to obtain exact figures for fatal doses of nicotine for humans. So to guarantee the death of an insect, we're really going to have to go overboard, say 10 milligrams per kilogram, which is about 10 times more and is sometimes cited as a fatal dose. But that quote is actually pretty bad and there's not much to it. There is no evidence behind this, but if we assume that your cigarette butt has on average only 5% of its original nicotine extractable by methods, say, that are barely more complicated than boiling water.

That means the nugget would have to find around 300 cigarette butts and put them in a big bag and take them home. Actually, that's not that difficult. I don't think, I think if you found one or two occupied ashtrays in the city, it would probably be enough, but you know, after double checking my calculations, I realized that something like a nugget didn't use a cigarette. cigarette butts Used a new pack of cigarettes. You know how I know this because it turns out that about 15 cigarettes contain enough nicotine if extracted completely to poison both the main character and the bugs, and if you look at the pack of cigarettes you buy in the game.

He only has four cigarettes left. And there's no way Monty bought that package himself. He found it somewhere discarded, discarded, with the exact number of cigarettes it would take to kill two people. Missing and how much nicotine is that? If properly insulated, which requires barely more skill than it takes to make a box of macaroni and cheese on the stove, 15 cigarettes would have a yield of 0.184 milliliters of nicotine, or 184 milligrams, and how much is that? Four drops. Four drops on a chicken nugget and it works very fast! Nicotine can be absorbed through the gums, skin,the esophagus and stomach after eating it!

The insects would experience severe abdominal pain, which explains the vomiting, sweating, high blood pressure, dizziness, increased heart rate, seizures, eventually, everything, cardiac arrest, this is almost exactly what we see happening. It happened to him on the screen and those nicotine poisonings have an antidote, well, it has a combination of treatments. One that is a very common first action is activated charcoal tablets. These pills contain fine charcoal powders that have a large surface area and bind to poisonous substances and absorb them so that you do not digest them. The rest. The treatment is experimental and is an application. from benzozia- Benzodiazepine *stutters* I'll call it benzo because I keep pronouncing it wrong!

Anyway, a hit of benzos can mitigate cardiovascular problems and you know, Nugget has some of those magic pills the principal gave him, the ones that calm him down and make him act a little weird and, most importantly, totally ruin his life. memory. These are the main side effects of benzos. They can totally destroy your short-term memory. So the antidote he gave you after feeding you a poison he made by extracting nicotine from a pack of cigarettes before throwing away the rest because he's a non-smoker was probably just activated charcoal and his magic demon. pills together. Is not perfect.

Honestly, your character would still need to go to the hospital. It turns out that while it's very easy to poison someone, it's not so easy to resume. And how did a kindergartener get a pack of cigarettes? Even that's hard to say for sure, he could have stolen them from the hallway monitor, who? always smoking in the bathroom and by the way he seems to be running out of cigarettes or there is a teacher, Miss Applegate, who also smokes and is crazy about the headmaster's pills all the time, so who knows! In any case, Nugget is a much more dangerous kid than you can imagine playing the game.

First time this guy is driving Heisenberg crazy and I can't wait to see what he does in Kindergarten 2. Please don't him poison people honestly, Austin. *nugget voice* Nugget needs more friends!
