Hi gang! Doctor here, trained at and still work at the local "Rectal Foreign Body Center of Excellence", so I feel somewhat qualified to give my professional opinion.

Yes, nothing without a flared base should be used in this fashion. BUT, there's pretty much no risk for harm here. Mechanical obstruction is unlikely because, as OP says, it'll get mushy and get pooped out. Bananas aren't much of an irritant like a citrus fruit, so not much risk for chemical damage. Someone else said there might be a risk of potassium overdose, but not really. The rectum does absorb, but not as much as the stomach. So while some potassium will be absorbed, this is at worst equivalent to eating the same number of bananas. Which won't harm you.

So not a big risk here. That being said, flared bases, everyone!

Holy nothing burger, Batman!

First off, this article is from 2022, re-released to farm clicks from the current hype cycle.

Secondly, this is conjecture on top of conjecture. They discuss that we can't know the current damage from satellite, and Iran down plays the damage. Then they go on to say "concrete is strong and can be stronger".

Articles like this annoy me. It's all based on lots of unsubstantiated claims, and then one guy's theoretical research. We don't know the strength of the bombs. We don't know the strength of Iran's bunkers. We don't know how much damage was done. None of this has changed. I doubt we'll ever really know. But throw whatever political spin on it you want, and now you've got a click worthy news article.

This is ALSO why no service should ever require or get my driver's license information. Fuck that. Also, yet another Constance to those who can't afford a car or want to improve the environment by living car free.

Ackchyually

Fever is not 100F. A fever is defined as 100.4F. Why 100.4 when 100 is a much easier to remember and handle number? Because fever is defined in humans as 38C, and that converts to 100.4F.

Congress says

Congress is concerned

Congress warns

It is literally your job to prevent these concerns. Stop talking and do something. The old fucks who refuse to leave office have been collecting paychecks while sitting back and doing nothing, progressively giving away their power to the executive branch for the past ~20 years. Now they're concerned? Too little, too late. Either step up (but watch out for broken hips) or get out of the way.

As with every time this is posted, someone has to come point out that this picture is completely unrelated. He had 2 prosthetics, both can be found on his Wikipedia page.

Guess I'm the one who gets to be pedantic this time!

Seeing as politics is always a bunch of self serving in-crowd of rich folks, I'd really like to see this for the previous few presidents to know if this is a unique thing to Trump.

I like how it starts out ALMOST coherent and legalese, but then quickly derails into unhinged rambling with ACCENTUATED capital WORDS like it MATTERS.

Vertebral artery dissection. Very common chiropractic caused stroke. Vision changes are common in it.

the airline wants to force passengers to use their app so they can sell customer data and sell ads

That's a bingo

Yeah, don't fuck around with electricity. That shit is dangerous. Even those "muscle simulator" things that are marketed as massage options. Don't send any electricity throughout your body unintentionally. Everything in our body operates based on small amounts of electricity. Mess it up slightly and it might not operate again. Mess it up a lot like this, and you likely induce internal electric burns. Not fun.

Article unfortunately falls short of identifying the most important aspects of this case. Who are the parents of the rapist, and how influential are they?

Seriously doubt it. Elective surgeries were likely cancelled, which could certainly prolong suffering for some, but life saving surgeries can absolutely happen and do without computers.

The joke is that they're holding onto the wishbone, ready to break it. Generally speaking, you don't want your surgeon using your bones like a turkey wishbone during surgery.

I particularly like the "in these unprecedented times" bit. Every company I've called in the past 5 years has had that line on their recording. When every time is unprecedented, no time is unprecedented.

That's kinda what I'm getting at. This isn't R vs D, and further perpetuating that is lending into the division of the country that the powers that be want.

This is class war, always has been. Police are the arm wielding power of the rich, used to push down the working class.
