The titles of the papers back then are... notable:

'A smart Scourge for a silly, sawcy Fool, an answer to letter at the end of a
pamphlet of Lionell Lockyer (1664).

So, are we going to become immortal or not?

No, not if you're going to be messing around with mercury and lead.

But what if he dilutes it down with water, then dilutes it some more, etc
until it merely leaves the imprint of mercury on the water. /s

Then he'll get mercury poisoning from drinking pure water, and we'll find out
homeopathy is just as good at killing people as it is at healing them.

You miscreant you lie.

Everyday, I used to filter my water on tap (except for minerals) and I drunk
it.

Then I got totally stoned with the highly diluted cocain, heroin, cannabis,
alcohol, ketamine, LSD there is in it. The lesser the dilution, the stronger
the effect.

Then I decided to get back with more normal way to get my life back from
addiction. Drugs are bad.

Every day now since then, my routine includes diluting a mix of drugs in my
water to avoid the effects of it. I am feeling much better.

I also noticed a problem with air. So I now constantly smoke weed, crack,
heroin.

It is costly, but me at least, I am not insane.

How can you miss the pink elephant talking to the green martians that are
infecting the lizard man in the government that are all around us?

Take back your sanity.
