Canned some powdered gatorade to keep it dry longer

I see, thanks, never heard of it.
How does Gatorade help with that?

This is probably unnecessary. The powder itself should be very shelf stable so I would have just repackaged it in vacuumed sealed bags or get an attachment to vacuum seal the jars (vs heat canning).
I have a core memory of chipping away at the brick of what had previously been powdered Gatorade that had since formed into a single solid mass after sitting in the pantry for several months.

Electrolytes can help you retain fluid within your vasculature, which helps with pots bc it increases your blood pressure until you pee it out

Ty Carrot!
And to go back to complicating it just a little, those metal salts (particularly sodium, calcium, potassium, and magnesium, plus iodine to make them all do their jobs) make your nervous system and endocrine system work. If the salts and fluids aren’t riding around the vascular system correctly, all sorts of automatic body processes start getting fucky. That’s dysautonomia, like in the name of that website.

TIL: powdered Gatorade exists.

Why is that better than putting the powder in reusable jars?
Less steps

Yeah, last time I bought one the powder captured enough moisture that the can corroded. I only drink it about once a week so there's powder sitting for a while
Bro sounds like you need a dehumidifier.

Not a good idea to expose that to heat
-
you don't need to heat dessicate it, a silica packet will do just as well
-
it also doesn't need sterilization
Basically this sub is lemmys diwhy?

In the ballpark of 40 cents, less if OP is making his own energy.
Actually, even less is he slid these in after baking a lovely lasagna.
On the other hand, maybe hassling OP over his choice of method to preserve some electrolyte powder wasted the most energy.
Energy is not wasted if it makes someone feel bad
