well, that shouldnt have been a surprising find. we’ve already had millions of examples of people talking out of their arses over the years.
We must credit the great thinker, Ace Ventura for giving us an insight into the talking anus
There was a related podcast recently somewhere, the idea was that evolutionary lungs come from guts, so maybe guts would still have some ability to absorb oxygen, which, turns out, they indeed do. This could have some practical uses e.g. in intensive care situations where the patient’s lung is useless (extreme COVID), which could give a last resort breathing opportunity while the lungs heal to a usable condition. Furthermore it gives a shitton of opportunity for butt jokes
Exactly how would carbon dioxide get exchanged if the lungs are damaged?
Well farts aren’t just methane
People will stick anything up their ass these days, and these guys get the fucking Nobel Prize?!
I feel betrayed ☹️
the fucking Nobel Prize?!
No, the Ig Nobel Prize:
The Ig Nobel Prize monetary award is given in a solitary banknote for the amount of 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars ($0.40 USD)
LOL, alrighty then, TIL
It is a prize for serious science, just serious science that also happens to be funny
i’m a bit disappointed that it’s not like 10 bucks at least, like haha funny yes, but come on you can give them an actual reward for actual science
The actual worth of the prize could be the publicity, to stand out and be recognizer as a scientist in a flood of publications. I’m just guessing.
It’s actually really valuable. It can be a great alternative to a tracheotomy.
I don’t know if this is in practice yet, but I’ve heard of it in recent years.
boofing?
Well, yes. But I meant for medical purposes, not judicial.
I thought you mean recreational
Wait till they add the prostate exam to checking vital signs
Core body temperature is a vital sign. Guess the most clinically accurate way to measure that one.
Not by prostate exam, that’s for sure.
Close. It’s known as rectal temperature
Yeah, I know. It’s not a prostate exam.
The net result is similar, though
The net result of a prostate exam is that you get a boner. Temp measuring is just sticking an item in your butthole. Two different diagnostic things
Speak for yourself ;p
I don’t wanna wait.
that’s how i win at breath holding contests
What a job to research Butt Stuff
Sure, but how bad is their breath?
Ace Ventura knew this 20 years ago.
