Peptide Calculator Website Used by Millions Has Never Been Checked by a Human, Admits Man Who Made It in 2014
Satire. Everything below is a joke about peptide culture. All characters are fictional and nothing here is advice.
PORTLAND. The creator of a popular calculator, built over a long weekend in 2014, confirmed that its formulas have never been reviewed by anyone, including himself. “It gave plausible numbers,” he said. “That felt like enough.”
Key takeaways
- The joke: trust in a number because it has decimals.
- The point: peptide math is four lines and can be checked by hand.
- Units are where nearly every error hides.
The investigation
Reporters entered a 5 mg vial and 2 mL of liquid. The calculator reported 2.5 mg per mL, which is correct. They entered a 10 mg vial and “enough water.” The calculator reported “NaN,” which the developer called “a feature.”
User reaction
“I don’t know what NaN is,” said one user, “but I got a result, so I’m fine.”
The serious point
- Concentration equals amount divided by volume, as in our water hot take.
- Convert units first, as in the units post.
- Remember net peptide content may be lower than powder weight, as in salt forms.
- Check any tool with a case you can do in your head.
