    And claiming that the story is fake because “36 red bulls would literally kill a horse” is just plain old hyperbole.

    While I’m not big on equine nephrology, or veteranary physiology in general even, I suppose that it’s reasonable to assume, that not 100% of horses would survive ingesting the caffeine equivalent of 14l of coffee at once. But going from “some horses would die from this” to “this story is definitely fake” is just bad reasoning.

    Sure, it’s reasonable to question the story, but dismissing it because a horse couldn’t do the same? WTF?

    Not every horse, human, or humpback whale would survive consuming 36 red bulls. But it’s not unreasonable to assume that a majority of humans would survive.

    Personally I want to believe the story, if for nothing else than it’s not a story about how the world is going to shit.
