MODERATORS
In the US, that’s the maximum single dose. What is it for your country?
600mg
Just checked my medicine cabinet and my Acetaminophen bottle is 500mg per tablet. Ad. I've definitely taken two before. I might take less now.
Is that maybe why there been an uptick of bad people in the last couple of decades.
Nar, probably the material systems rewarding such behaviors
On the other hand, people may be more willing to allow material systems to decay because they're becoming less empathetic.
Acetaminophen doesn't exactly have a long lasting effect. And this is 1/4 of the maximum recommended daily dose administered at once. I think if people were regularly taking enough tylenol that it has a mass societal effect we'd be seeing a lot more liver failures.
