I dont get it. There was never snow in my asshole???

fossilesque@mander.xyz on 22 Sep 22:33 next collapse

Not with that attitude

Hond@piefed.social on 22 Sep 22:35 next collapse

fair enough

jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works on 22 Sep 22:46 next collapse

All we need is a toboggan, a funnel, a couple shots of fireball, safety goggles, and a positive mental attitude.

spinne@sh.itjust.works on 22 Sep 23:06 next collapse

Friend of mine used to work for a 24-hour big box store in Michigan. He was working an evening shift after a big snow dump when two college kids came through his lane with trash bags, a container of vaseline, and a bottle of vodka. They didn’t even spring for the goggles!

Sigh Kids… Always wear PPE. A dirty snowball to the eye is no joke.

spinne@sh.itjust.works on 23 Sep 00:34 collapse

At least bring lunch trays and goggles, boys. Busted tailbones are no joke

I love getting my colon plowed

Snow in my asshole? In this economy??

And, it’s fucking fascinating. Don’t get sedated, watch the weirdness!

weariedfae@sh.itjust.works on 24 Sep 09:13 collapse

Huh. They didn’t give my partner a choice when they got a colonoscopy.

socsa@piefed.social on 22 Sep 23:57 next collapse

How many times do I need to ask you to stop posting my grindr profile on social media?

krashmo@lemmy.world on 23 Sep 01:24 next collapse

It’s ribbed for your pleasure

djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 23 Sep 19:56 next collapse

How are you supposed to know the cleanliness of your colon?

Hazmatastic@lemmy.world on 23 Sep 21:30 next collapse

You dont need to know yourself, just follow the instructions the doctor gives you before the procedure. Usually fasting, maybe a rinse.

BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk on 23 Sep 23:36 next collapse

Sometimes they send entirely inadequate instructions you know aren’t going to work and then you have to go more than once. That’s a pain in the ass.

ubergeek@lemmy.today on 24 Sep 00:31 collapse

To be fair, even going one time will be a pain the ass. Returning a second time will be another pain in the ass.

djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 24 Sep 00:23 next collapse

how do I know if I did a good job or not though? Do I just gotta trust that I followed the instructions correctly?

I’m just sayin give me a lil camera so I can check.

ubergeek@lemmy.today on 24 Sep 00:30 collapse

Oh… you will know, because you will only be shitting clear liquid, every 30-90 minutes half way through the protocol.

Dicska@lemmy.world on 24 Sep 08:25 collapse

Hang them on the fence inside out and hose them down with a garden hose.

Hazmatastic@lemmy.world on 24 Sep 14:54 collapse

I mean, it’s not the first option I’d go with but it is certainly one of the ideas I’ve ever heard

JillyB@beehaw.org on 24 Sep 00:00 next collapse

The graphic is urging a patient to actually do the required prep. The prep cleans you out.

weariedfae@sh.itjust.works on 24 Sep 09:11 next collapse

So my partner literally had a colonoscopy this week.

I don’t know how to do spoiler tags and they often don’t work on my app anyway so WARNING: GROSS.

You drink a special laxative and chew these special pills to empty everything out and, critically, you know when you’re clean when your poop comes out identical to pee. Translucent yellow liquid. The instructions have a color chart and everything.

BanMe@lemmy.world on 24 Sep 15:21 collapse

My elderly neighbor doesn’t exactly follow rules. She had a colonoscopy earlier this year. They sent her home because she “wasn’t clean.” She had to repeat the process later, and I can’t imagine she was a Sunny Country Road, but they at least completed the exam that time. I am still mortified for her, my first colonoscopy was last year, I spent a full day on the toilet prepping. Nearly slept in the bathtub.

Is there a hosepipe adapter for your bum? Asking for a friend.

Nikls94@lemmy.world on 24 Sep 05:44 next collapse

Do you want the one shaped like a dildo or is classic butt plug okay?

SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 24 Sep 08:53 next collapse

DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER

IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world on 25 Sep 04:02 collapse

douche hose adapters exists

arsCynic@lemmy.ml on 24 Sep 08:48 next collapse

That analogy is spot on. Everyone knows how light one feels after the first post-coffee morning dump.
