I need my bodyweight in ATP per day. Without it I literally stop functioning.

Is it time to quit?

You need like 60 kilograms of atp per day?

[–] BlasphemicMantis@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

More like 90kg but the funny thing is I don't even weigh this much. How this is possible puzzles me every day.

Little known fact, but a single gram of the stuff can weigh as much as 20 grams!

I probably need over 100 kg.
