I don't get it. If you are a billionaire, you'd have women (or men, whatever you like) throwing themselves at your junk. Why take the risk? You won at life, just enjoy banging everything that moves my dude. You could have a micro penis and still have people begging to do ungodly perverted things to it if you have that kind of money. Never satisfied I guess.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 13 minutes ago

I have a theory that very few, if any, of these people are happy.

I’d rather they die trying to enlarge their small peepee than ruin our cities with their trucks

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

Why aren't the surgeons being paraded like luigi.

In heaven/hell:

Anonymous: Hey, you're a new one. How did you die?

Ehud: Well... That's a short story that supposed to become longer, but it hasn't.

o7 surgeons and o7 dipshit who kept taking sketchy pills before surgery

[–] DirtyAnCom@discuss.online 24 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Including the 32 billionaires that died last year, that's just over 1% of all billionaires removed from this Earth! That's not an insignificant number. Let's make it even higher!

[–] sahin@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Lets make it 100%

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 3 points 5 hours ago

Happened in 2019 though

[–] hodgepodgin@lemmy.zip 16 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

it seems like the operation failed. there's fewer dicks in the world now.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 20 points 12 hours ago

Well, it didn't go as planned, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a failure.

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 54 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

So the operation was a 100% succes.

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

The poor man died on a table with his cock cut to pieces, what a terribly unfortunate thing to happen.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 27 minutes ago

A dick lost his life

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 5 points 8 hours ago

Those pieces were very small, tho, like minuscule ...

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 33 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

You think these needledicks would learn from Elons botched surgery.

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Kanye's mom has entered the chat.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I missed both those references.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Elon Musk had a similar surgery and it left his penis mangled and useless, he now breeds his progeny by artificial insemination.

Kanye's mother died getting the fat sucked out of her.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 19 points 13 hours ago

lolololololol

It makes me very, very sad to hear of the passing of a billionaire.

[–] ShotDonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

The Hindustan Times never disappoints!

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 49 points 17 hours ago (7 children)

I can't believe being a billionaire wasn't enough for this man, he was still insecure that he felt the need to buy a bigger dick.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but women don't need a gorilla sized dick! They need you to eat them out! (this guy had a wife. We need to ask men if they crave gorilla dicks)

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 19 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Just get a cod piece like respectable humans.

TBF I've known some guys who were size queens.

[–] the_mighty_kracken@lemmy.world 22 points 16 hours ago (9 children)
[–] moakley@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe it's a dick the size of a gorilla, not the size of a gorilla's dick.

[–] the_mighty_kracken@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

Would you rather fight one dick the size of a gorilla, or one hundred dicks the size of a gorilla dick?

Not even that bigger. Enlargement surgery is highly risky (even if this guy died of a heart attack), and only promises like 2cm in additional length. Girth increases are slightly more substantial though. It sounds like he was getting the type that is just an injection of fat in the dick, which is comparatively less risky.

The risks involved are wild. A sizable amount of doctors doing enlargements have questionable standings with their local medical boards. It's also not uncommon to find places that are very vague about what they are adding or changing about your body, while promising extreme results. Infections, loss of function, constant erection due to the addition of harder structures, decreased sensitivity are some of the more alarming, yet not uncommon risks. As it's an elective, specialized surgery, practices are often aggressive and manipulative in dealing with clients/potential clients. Is not unheard of for places to require multiple surgeries, when it turns out there were complications with the first one.

Now this is a feel good story

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 68 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

An autopsy later confirmed that Laniado died from cardiac hypertrophy, a condition involving an enlarged heart.

A search of his hotel room revealed he had been taking multiple substances banned in France, along with vasodilators commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction. According to judicial sources, these substances are believed to have contributed to his death.

Ah, so it had nothing to do with the procedure, dude was on a cocktail of his own drugs, didn't tell the doctor, had a heart attack.

So, if it was anyones fault, it was the pathetic billionaires fault. Also anyone who gets rich from diamonds is always, 100%, a scumbag.

It's honestly really sad for the surgeon. Before undergoing surgery the patient must disclose everything that could make complications on the operation for a reason, a doctor does not care what crimes the patient commits and won't have a reason to snitch, but not knowing the patient using banned substances that affect surgery could lead to life altering (and in this case outright ending it) problems.

[–] Techlos@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 9 hours ago

Ahh, cocaine and Cialis. A classic combo for cardiac catastrophe

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 16 points 17 hours ago

He shouldn't have gotten the heart enlargement surgery

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 38 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

Let this be an example to every surgeon out there that if a billionaire patient dies during or after a surgery:

It can't simply be a statistical death, their trusts will have investigators digging through your trash for years and feeding a team of laywers to find the slightest excuse to end your career even if they die because they were taking party drugs and weren't honest with you.

Its best to just refuse doing surgery on a billionaire.

[–] III@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Or, and hear me out, take one for society like these heroes did.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Dude killed himself by not disclosing boner pillsand the surgeons were "practicing medicine without a license" for the place they working in (though they were as qualified as most surgeons) From the article

Well shit, if a billionaire can't pull it off, I'm fucked.
