So, it is said that not drinking any water for three days kills you, but this guy apparently went for nine days straight without eating, drinking or sleeping? How did he do this? And this is very well documented, so it's can't be just "he secretly drank water".

>not drinking any water for three days kills you
I can tell you, from experience, that is not true.
3 days of no water/food/sleep in a relatively temperature moderated environment, with minimal physical activity, and you can survive without any long term issues.
9 days would be difficult, and I don't believe I could do it, but it's still not something I'd think is impossible.
T. Person who did that once to prove a point.

Max you can go without sleep is around 90 hours. And even that is technically impossible because you can't prevent yourself from falling asleep for a few minutes every now and then.
Zero fluid intake can maybe streched to 4 or 5 days. But anything beyond that is pure fiction.

9 days isn't very impressive. It might cause harm to your brain so I don't recommend it, but many people have survived such things.

>Randy Gardner holds the scientifically documented record for the longest period of time a human being has intentionally gone without sleep not using stimulants of any kind. Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours (11 days), breaking the previous record of 260 hours held by Tom Rounds of Honolulu.[90] LCDR John J. Ross of the U.S. Navy Medical Neuropsychiatric Research Unit later published an account of this event, which became well known among sleep-deprivation researchers.[90][147][148]

Noone has ever survived 9 days of zero fluid intake and/or zero sleep.

Right, "don't go several days without sleeping/etc" is good advice even if such deprivation won't kill you. Sleep deprivation causes brain damage. And this is certainly not a case of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

People have gone longer than 9 days without water. This guy went 18 day with only water condensed the walls of a prison cell, which could not have been much: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreas_Mihavecz

Exactly how long anybody can go depends on many factors, not only their personal condition at the start of the dehydration, but also the environment. Relative humidity plays a big role in how fast your body loses water. Three days is nothing more than a rule of thumb, there is no single hard and fast answer to this matter.

Water consumption is tied to metabolism, so if all you do is meditate the whole time your body won't require nearly as much

Meditation isn't real, it's nothing more than sitting and humming.

Exactly, sitting and humming means you burn very little energy, therefore the metabolism slows

Your metabolism would slow even more if you stopped humming and stopped thinking smug thoughts to yourself about how meditated you are. Literally just sit lmao.
