A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Limestone, calcite and chalk are the same compound as the active ingredient in antacid tablets: calcium carbonate. There isn't much danger in eating small amounts of it.
In fact, it’s best practice
how small is small?
You know how big an antacid tablet is? About that amount.
Chalk it up to a feeling but eating a little bit of sand and whatnot is probably good for us
I'm drawing with marker and like pen and stuff, I'm just eating the chalk
Charlie, if your stomach hurts, eat a Tums!
Whenever someone asks for tums I tell them "just eat chalk, it's the same thing."
So we do swallow rocks!
I eat Halite pretty frequently
People will make a health conspiracy out of every innocuous thing, though.
