Gun = Rootie Tootie Point and Shootie

[-] Amicitas@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Pointy Shootie

[-] yesman@lemmy.world 43 points 3 weeks ago

FYI: Defibrillators don't start the heart, they stop it.

The heart doesn't stop in many heart attacks. Instead it just beats erratically and in a way that doesn't pump blood well. Shocking the heart to stop it (what a defib does) causes the nerve cells to "reboot" and start beating regularly again.

Shocking a victim who's heart has stopped is useless and automatic defibrillators won't go off until they've detected the arrhythmia.

Hearty restarty

It's essentially the "have you tried turning it off and back on again" of cardiology.

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

When I was a teenager my computer survived years of percussive maintenance. All I'm saying is, have doctors tried beating the shit out of their patients?

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

Mind blown! 🤯

[-] wurstgulasch3000@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

I blame House MD for this common misconception

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, thank you, I'm glad you mentioned it here, it doesn't happen often enough. I mean, it's even in the name, right? Defibrillator gets rid of fibrillation - the erratic beating!

Fun at parties?

Beans = Farty Starties

Because they give you gas (pooty booty).

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 10 points 3 weeks ago

And if they went bad, you get booty shooty (diarrhea).

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Beans, beans, the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot.

The lol per pixel ratio of this meme was significantly above the mean

[-] tteok@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

I am literally reading this on my squatty potty (if you don't have one - BUY ONE)

[-] Godort@lemm.ee 10 points 3 weeks ago

It's a travesty that they aren't called "Fuzzy Buzzies"

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I am completely on board with this and suggest we amend all the dictionaries immediately.

[-] OneCardboardBox@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 3 weeks ago

You can thank the US Army for that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCR-300

[-] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Huh, I thought defibrillators were for arrhythmias, but it's also for cardiac arrest.

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 9 points 3 weeks ago

Yup, and it fucking sucks (better than dying though) to have one used on you.

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 4 points 3 weeks ago

...now I want to try it. Which is probably unwise.

[-] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago

It should be called Hearty Stoppy. That's what they do. Stop your heart so it can reboot in safe mode.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 3 weeks ago
