We must credit the great thinker, Ace Ventura for giving us an insight into the talking anus
There's a saying amongst us ass breathers in regards to all you nose breathing assholes: "they hate us because they anus."
Heh, you said anus
There was a related podcast recently somewhere, the idea was that evolutionary lungs come from guts, so maybe guts would still have some ability to absorb oxygen, which, turns out, they indeed do. This could have some practical uses e.g. in intensive care situations where the patient's lung is useless (extreme COVID), which could give a last resort breathing opportunity while the lungs heal to a usable condition. Furthermore it gives a shitton of opportunity for butt jokes
Exactly how would carbon dioxide get exchanged if the lungs are damaged?
Well farts aren't just methane
If you can breathe through the butt as you can through your mouth, can you eat with your butt as well?
Was South Park right and you can put a turkey up your ass and digest it?
Legitimately, the colon, including the part immediately after the anus, is very capable of absorption of chemicals, there are some medicines other than suppositories that are sometimes given that way if needed. And the small amount of mucous it naturally produces through normal function is also capable of dissolving solid particulates for said absorption to work.
But(t), I don't think there would be any means for caloric intake to happen, even if the Turkey eventually was dissolved. I could very well be wrong though, I am talking out of my very own ass somewhat!
If you put it through a blender first. I believe you could
People will stick anything up their ass these days, and these guys get the fucking Nobel Prize?!
I feel betrayed ☹️
the fucking Nobel Prize?!
No, the Ig Nobel Prize:
The Ig Nobel Prize monetary award is given in a solitary banknote for the amount of 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars ($0.40 USD)
LOL, alrighty then, TIL
It is a prize for serious science, just serious science that also happens to be funny
i'm a bit disappointed that it's not like 10 bucks at least, like haha funny yes, but come on you can give them an actual reward for actual science
The actual worth of the prize could be the publicity, to stand out and be recognizer as a scientist in a flood of publications. I'm just guessing.
It's actually really valuable. It can be a great alternative to a tracheotomy.
I don't know if this is in practice yet, but I've heard of it in recent years.
boofing?
Well, yes. But I meant for medical purposes, not judicial.
I thought you mean recreational
What a job to research Butt Stuff
They're looking for a way to save the live of people in respiratory distress, such as intensive care patient with Covid19 and damaged lungs.
Doctors and biology researchers need to move passed the ick factor sometimes to make progress. Joking about it is a good way to do that.
that's how i win at breath holding contests
Wait till they add the prostate exam to checking vital signs
Core body temperature is a vital sign. Guess the most clinically accurate way to measure that one.
Not by prostate exam, that's for sure.
Close. It's known as rectal temperature
Yeah, I know. It's not a prostate exam.
The net result is similar, though
The net result of a prostate exam is that you get a boner. Temp measuring is just sticking an item in your butthole. Two different diagnostic things
Speak for yourself ;p
I don't wanna wait.
Not really a prostrate exam but one of the first things trauma docs do is cut the pants off and put a finger up the bum to test spinal function
Sure, but how bad is their breath?
Ace Ventura knew this 20 years ago.
