Chew it first so it goes down smoother

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 25 points 6 months ago

Yes. Chew that water you lazybones.

[-] Ashen@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

Cart narcs!

We've always called this "French Fry Syndrome" in my family, when you go to swallow a huge handful of fries and they do that super slow slide all the way down and it's painful as hell

[-] moog@lemm.ee 74 points 6 months ago

??? Maybe don't shove handfuls of fries down your throat ???

[-] Thorry84@feddit.nl 49 points 6 months ago

Well you say that, but then there's fries and one thing leads to another

[-] olutukko@lemmy.world 38 points 6 months ago

What are you the fries police?

[-] moog@lemm.ee 10 points 6 months ago

Yes put the fries down and ur hands up 🔫

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 months ago

You just want to take my fries, scalawag.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

But my fingers are all salty and greasy...

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 24 points 6 months ago

What are you a fucking communist?

Watch out everybody, the fry police are here to stop us from shoving fries down our throat.

[-] childOfMagenta@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

I have this, even with a single fry at the start of a meal. Starchy or dry food in general. I'm about to get hiccup from that fry, then I down a half glass of water and I'm good for the rest of the meal.

[-] Juvyn00b@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Holy shit I have this same exact problem. Eats one bite and blammo - hiccups

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 25 points 6 months ago

How many of your family members can fit in an average sized row boat?

[-] whostosay@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

LMFAO not cool

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

Interesting. We call this "attempted suicide" in my family.

[-] VHSSense@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

A universal experience. In the UK we sometimes call it "chip chest"

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 months ago

You remember the "poop knife" story from Reddit where the dude made a casual comment and then found out his family was weird as fuck? This is your poop knife moment.

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

that's because of the non-newtonian effects of the sticky starch paste

[-] GlitterInfection@lemmy.world 43 points 6 months ago

Or me the other day when I Inhaled my own spit in my otherwise empty mouth, sending me into a coughing fit, which made everyone around me look at me like I had COVID instead of just having an inability to function at a basic level.

[-] fox2263@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

I do that almost hourly I feel. Really pisses me off

[-] notapantsday@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

If it really happens that often, maybe get it checked out. Speech therapists also deal with swallowing disorders, which can be a sign of (potentially treatable) neurological conditions.

[-] ManniSturgis@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago

That's so horrible. Like inhaling water ain't that bad, but spit is so hard to get out because of it's consistency or stickiness or smth. Inhaling coke is pretty awful too cause you get this weird after taste. Ideally you should really only inhale air.

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Inhaling coke is pretty awful too cause you get this weird after taste.

Not sure which coke you're inhaling, but if the weird aftertaste is kinda reminiscent of diesel you've got the good shit.

[-] sgibson5150@slrpnk.net 22 points 6 months ago

I thought I was the only one. Hurts like a mofo.

[-] mydoomlessaccount@infosec.pub 19 points 6 months ago

I always figured it was your lower esophageal sphincter (the one by your stomach) kinda, like..spasming when you swallow, and then being seized up when the water tries to pass through, leading you to have to swallow extra-hard and force it through.

The resulting pain would be from having forced it, and feel like it's in your chest 'cause abdominal pains can tend to be pretty imprecise.

But, I know absolutely nothing about medicine or the human body, so don't take my word for that. These are just the ramblings of a filth-strewn peasant trying to make sense of the world around him.

I got "chest freeze" once and it was fucking weird. I call it that only because of what caused it and because I have never known anything like it or heard anyone else have a similar reaction.

A couple years ago Iwas working as an installer for a wireless ISP, mostly outdoors working on roofs and shit. This was in the summer and we had a helluva time surveying for the signal before we could install the dish and run the cable, hella hot and shit, on our last appointment of the day. We finally get done and leave the site, which was right next to an AM/PM so I stop and grab a couple Gatorades and as soon as I got back in my truck, just slammed one down. Fucker was ice cold and after I took a couple chugs, it was like a donkey kicked me in the chest. It hurt so bad. But only for like 30 seconds, like a brain freeze headache but in my chest. Shit was weird as fuck and sucked.

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago

Was the Gatorade good though?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 6 months ago

Like the sweet waters of Elysium.

[-] runeko@programming.dev 2 points 6 months ago

I've never had that flavor, just orange and red. Did it make you forget your sorrows on the way to the afterlife?

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

Water in your lungs is no laughing matter. Laughing will actually make the pain worse.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

It's not a wrong pipe thing, it's like a spasm or cramping of your throat.

[-] frostysauce@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

If this is what drowning feels like I don't want to drown.

[-] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 7 points 6 months ago

it's caused by the lector stultus maximus muscle

[-] Sakychu@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Lector stultus maximus muscle what?

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

Lector? Hardly knew 'er

[-] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Lector stultus maximus muscle who?

[-] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

Lector stultus maximus muscle chka chka Slim Shady

Ok. That never happened to me.

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 5 points 6 months ago

I have had it although sometimes its just oddly painful. Think the meme is purposely over dramatic on the effect.

That's a hiatal hernia.

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Bruh, can we even experiment this willingly?
