No water for me so far today. Last intake was last night.

We read:
The general consensus is that people can survive for around three days without water, with estimates typically ranging from two days to a week. Wilderness guides often refer to the “rule of 3”, which says that a person can live for 3 minutes without air (oxygen), 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food.
Nutrition Reviews, a peer-reviewed international journal that focuses on literature reviews about nutrition-related topics, published two articles in 2010 that mention how long people can go without water. Authors of one article state “only for days”, while the other states 2-4 days. Without water, a person can die after 3 days, and usually no one can survive for more than 5-6 days. Dr. Claude Piantadosi of North Carolina’s Duke University says 100 hours is around the limit.
It's interesting to think I could conceivably be dead soon. I feel like Bobby Sands.

Death from dehydration can occur due to a number of effects, including:
Shock: When blood volume is low, blood pressure drops and the body has less oxygen, which can lead to shock.
Kidney damage: When the body doesn't have enough water, toxins build up and harm the kidneys, which are responsible for removing toxins from the body. If the kidneys fail, toxins can build up even more, leading to organ failure and death.
Brain damage: In extreme cases of dehydration, brain damage can occur. Unconsciousness: A severe drop in blood pressure can lead to unconsciousness or death.
Overheating: Without water, the body can't produce sweat to cool itself down, which can lead to a dangerous increase in body temperature.
Other effects of dehydration include: Weakness or confusion, Electrolyte imbalances, Heat-related illnesses like heatstroke, and Kidney stones.
In general, people can survive for around three days without water, but estimates can range from two days to a week.
Dehydration happens quickly, causing extreme thirst, fatigue, and ultimately, organ failure and death. A person may go from feeling thirsty and slightly sluggish on the first day with no water to having organ failure by the third. Dehydration does not affect everyone in the same way.

Meanwhile, Jesus tells me I will be fine and will even shock the world. Well, fwiw HeyJames did open a thread, which he then deleted, about an AI that told him I would soon "shock the nation".

Let's just say HeyJames isn't a normal user...
