Rectum? Damn near killed him!

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I always wondered what the set up for that joke was.

The opportunities to use it are fairly rare, but always rewarding

How does injecting resin down there produce sexual pleasure?

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 48 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (4 children)

I'm just guessing, but I'm betting they were either trying to make a custom-fit buttplug or really liked the fantasy of being sealed up and figured it'd work loose like superglue does.

Edit: this paper is pure gold, highly recommend looking it up. The photos of the removed epoxy are eyewatering, yet oddly enchanting...

A 27-year-old unemployed young man presented with lower abdominal discomfort following injection of a liquid adhesive per rectum 5 hours previously. He injected the viscous liquids into his rectum via a dual-chambered glue gun, resulting in an instantaneous exothermic reaction that caused the mixture to solidify and become fixed internally. He had no previous history of bowel disorder or psychiatric disturbance. The patient admitted he had done this for anal erotic enjoyment

[–] fullsquare@awful.systems 36 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

at least he didn't say he "fell on it" and it was totally an accident

Missed opportunity to claim you wrre doing some naked woodworking

[–] grue@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Look, I'm not saying I admit anything, but speaking purely hypothetically, if I were to do some naked woodworking, I'd be extra careful about it.

[–] Idreamofcheesy@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm actually disappointed he didn't have some goofy explanation.

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 4 points 3 weeks ago

not many available explanations for 330ml of epoxy. I'm sure he tried to find one, but i'd be hard pressed to find one in the short timespan on the way to the ER.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Million to one shot doc, million to one.

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Someone else gave a link to it:

https://anarchist.nexus/comment/1720298 < comment

https://www.emse.fr/~zimmermann/RAFT/RAFTpapers/Examples/nocomment.pdf. < The actual paper

You're right it was crazy to read. It's wild what people will do, I was actually impressed by the other case they cited that was similar where a guy got concrete poured in and it cured. They were able to give him relaxers and get the concrete out without surgery. Too bad the glue stuck to the inner walls and couldn't get taken out without surgery. What an absolutely wild thing to put up your ass though - like I'm not here to shame anyone but just put stuff up there that's not gonna fucking kill you.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 9 points 3 weeks ago

Ohhh! Dual chamber glue gun!??? Why didn't you mention that earlier??!

I've got just the thing! Its a double chamber glue gun epoxy cured in the ass hole remover creme!

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

Did it stick to the rectal walls

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
  1. people are stupid and this is all just hypothetical
  2. <you should read this one in Badge 502's voice>NO!

with those disclaimers... I suspect they were trying to make a mold of their poopchute and didn't think it all the way through. I'm not sure if that was then going to be directly used, or if it was going to be used as a negative for something else... but that's my guess.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

That's actually pretty clever. I mean it's totally stupid, but I could see a world where that makes sense.

If someone is searching for that paper, here you go

Edit: The reference list sounds like the who-is-who of shitposts.

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 10 points 3 weeks ago

"Self-administered hydrofluoric acid enema"...

Well that's enough reading for today.

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Thank you! I like reading bizarre stuff sometimes and this sounds crazy. Another commenter said the paper was comedy gold so let's see what it's all about.

Edit: Best part is the last sentence of the whole paper saying patients should be offered psychological help. "yo, heard you were shoving stuff up your asshole you should not be, wanna talk about it?"

[–] AlyxMS@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

Fascinating read, thanks for the link.

Never written stuff like this before, having to write "did a search with the name on it" as "A general Internet search using just the company name and the product code number was performed" got a chuckle out of me.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh

Oh no

Uncured resin up the ass is definitely gonna give you ass cancer

[–] deltapi@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

Well they removed all the parts of him he filled with resin and just joined it back up after. So...skipped the waiting for cancer step?

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 16 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

That's why you should always do butt casts only with a condom, or when you're dead. Nobody cares if you're dead. Just pour the stuff, let it cure and rip it out quick. No issues if you're dead already. Or you can buy a copy of a butt cast from someone who's dead already. Keep it safe guys! Keep it safe!

[–] mech@feddit.org 6 points 3 weeks ago

Where can I buy dead peoples' butt casts?
Asking for a friend. In Minecraft.

[–] MycelialMass@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Why....why are people wanting casts of butts??

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Never question the customers' reasons for buying.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

The great for not question the reasons of butt casters. We simply enable it!

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

"Nobody cares if you're dead" is a very sad statement. Hopefully my wife and kid would at least notice.

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Notice? They're the ones putting it on craigslist

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

So you would benefit from the condom option for but casting without the painful side effects or death option.

[–] kwomp2@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago

sigh* scientist really do anything to get published these days

[–] _NetNomad@fedia.io 9 points 3 weeks ago

god, the only thing worse than going to the ER with a glued butthole is getting there and seeing the "i feel a paper coming on" look in the doctor's eyes
