Help how do I give Lemmy Gold

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 139 points 5 days ago

We do not do that here. We do NOT give monetized awards or bring trite rituals here. SPRAY SPRAY

[-] 5765313496@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago

Maybe it's not really for the best, but I feel like it should be good to show support for the community that brought a comment. Maybe a (honor system) pledge to donate to the instance of the commentor or the instance of the poster?

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 10 points 4 days ago

That's actually a quite cool idea.

That looks like more like an Asian Beetle than a typical Lady Bug. Those bastards will crawl into any crack or crevice they can squeeze themselves into to find a place to over-winter. They're annoying, they smell like gross musty shit, and they will bite you given the opportunity.

So while this is the first time I've seen one in someone's colon, I'm not completely shocked either. In fact, it's kind of "on brand".

[-] Shard@lemmy.world 39 points 4 days ago

That is one hardy mofo.

Before any sort of colonoscopy, they give you a days worth of liquid laxatives that you need to drink and you will spend the better part of the day before your procedure shitting what feels like a grown man worth of shit.

Only then will the colon look as clean as it does in the picture.

That damn bug survived all that. Either that or he climbed in a nice clean colon after all the shit was evacuated.

[-] benderbeerman@sh.itjust.works 22 points 4 days ago

Recent colonoscopy here, can confirm the "grown man worth of shit" estimation

Is this from South Park?

(Cue the Capt America I get that reference gif)

[-] hsdkfr734r@feddit.nl 25 points 5 days ago

In the episode, "The Death Camp of Tolerance", Mr. Garrison inserts Lemmiwinks into Mr. Slave's anus with the hope that he'll get fired. Lemmiwinks then travels through Mr. Slave's digestive system to reach freedom.

Episode s06e14

I think they mean "gastroentomology".

Tee hee hee.

[-] myrrh@ttrpg.network 5 points 3 days ago

...that's some clever gastroetymology...

Buddy didn't sleep tight enough

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 9 points 4 days ago

not enough flared bases

[-] porotoman99@lemmy.world 31 points 4 days ago

Here is a link with more information if anyone is curious: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6791639/

The proposed theory is the preparations the patient made for the colonoscopy may have allowed the ladybug to survive the digestive system.

[-] AnimePhantasm@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I love how much of the article is just explaining what a ladybug is.

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 51 points 5 days ago

Now we just need to know how many of these crawl up our bums like the amount of spiders we allegedly eat per year.

[-] julianh@lemm.ee 37 points 5 days ago

don't ask about ladybug georg

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 25 points 4 days ago

"Geez, Allen. You got a bug up your butt or what?"

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 36 points 5 days ago

Please let this be a normal field trip

[-] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 19 points 5 days ago

At my old school we never entered someone's rectum without consent.

Pretty sure it didn’t survive a trip through stomach acid.

Did you ever find a bug on a vegetable in the market?

🤔

[-] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days ago

My best guess is that it was on some of the equipment and somehow got transferred in during the colonoscopy.

[-] Illogicalbit@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

If that ladybug makes it out, it’ll have one hell of a story to share with its fellow bugs.

Sounds like a great writing prompt actually.

[-] tehmics@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Yeah it'd almost be like if a person got swallowed by a whale or something. Someone should write a book about it.

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 32 points 5 days ago

Did they give Lindsay Graham a colonoscopy?

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

Oh dude just fuck you for adding this to the universe.

I got spiders living in mine. Keeps the bugs out.

🎵He anally inserted a spider to eat the fly; I don't know why he inserted the fly; perhaps he'll die🎵

[-] nandi@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I only clicked on this because I thought it was something else

[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Don’t er have like digestive juices and bacteria to kill stuff exactly like this?

[-] exasperation@lemm.ee 33 points 5 days ago

No sorry this is gastro-entomology.

[-] Malgas@beehaw.org 11 points 5 days ago

This conversation is gastro-etymology, BTW.
