That cup has seen some shit

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 week ago (3 children)

If you can fit a cup, you are not a newb and only newbs forget to properly flush before doing butt stuff.

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Still, you should probably wipe it down before putting it back in grandma's tea set.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Bold of you to assume grandma hasn't been doing the same for decades.

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

It was in there for three days. Unless he fully emptied himself and didn't eat anything, there's gonna be shit on that cup.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Isn't flushing bad for the microbiome?

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

Not as bad a tea cups or impacted feces stuck in the colon. You don't have to do a full colonic unless you are going very deep. You just need to clear the lower colon, so a couple of passes with an enema bulb should do the trick.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 56 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Flared bottoms, people.

The buttock pushes back until suddenly it does the exact opposite.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's actually internal muscle movements! Your rectum is divided into two sections my a muscle known as the inner band, which isn't technically a sphincter but it acts like one. It's a long loop of muscle that goes around your rectum and anchors to the torso. When you have to shit, it relaxes and allows poop into your lower rectum. If you decide to hold it, after a couple minutes, it moves the poop back into your upper rectum and you stop getting the urgent urge to shit. However, your rectum doesn't discriminate, and will attempt to pull foreign objects deeper as well.

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't understand why this requires a hospital visit though - wouldn't the cup emerge naturally next time the cupophile takes a shit?

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

When you push shit out, you're compressing that bottom section of your rectum to push shit out. (This is something you can feel for yourself if you want to stick a finger or two up your butt) You can't do the same motion with the top of your rectum, so you can't push things out of it. The inner band is hard to manipulate with external tools/your fingers. Like sure you can reach in there and stretch it a bit, but far enough for a large object to drop out isn't going to happen. If the object is too large and your inner band too tight, it's going to be extremely difficult to get out. Shit is going to back up behind it instead of pushing it out.

If you're wondering how I know all this, I've spent a lot of time with stuff up my butt.

You are right for small objects though, when I was going through puberty and exploring I used marbles in the shower, thought I had them all out, and then had to explain to my sister how I must've accidentally dropped that marble in the toilet.

Things sometimes don't come out due to shape or they lodge at a weird angle. This increases risk of bowel or rectal perforation as the body tries to push against an obstruction. Think opening a door but a desk is up against it. The cup can also break so now you'll have ouchie shards that can cut the bowel and create perforations or spill stool into the abdomen. Oh, and cause bleeding.

My trousers always have flared bottoms, I don't see how they will save me from getting cups stuck up my arse!!!

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It was as million to one shot, Jerry. A million to one!

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Came for this. Not disappointed.

[–] celeste@kbin.earth 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I get it, but embarrassment could've killed this guy. If it helps, know that people have stuck worse up there and just go to the doctor.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

But what if you're the case that gets pointed to when they tell someone they could have had it worse?

[–] celeste@kbin.earth 5 points 1 week ago

Think of all the people you're helping who can be like "at least it wasn't what they put up their ass." And when you go in, you know you "won" compared to this man from Taiwan!

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

The "worst so far".

At least he got it back out, kinda 😂

Ah, the old Shady Sands Shuffle.

I like that the url is just /taiwan-man-cup-anus/.

Slipped and fell in the shower again, I see

[–] renrenPDX@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

A doctor at the hospital pointed out that while inserting foreign objects into the bottom was not unheard of, they can cause immense damage to internal organs and be fatal.

These objects include baseballs, vibrators and coconuts, and could be inserted for stimulation or out of curiosity.

Coconuts?

[–] okmko@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Maybe they were like husked coconuts and could be cut into the ideal length for a 8cm diameter.

[–] ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's fine it just happens sometimes when you sit down without looking

[–] riskable@programming.dev 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

A "minor slip-up during a 'bottoms up moment'" fits this problem to a tea.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

At least it wasn't a jar

[–] RaoulDuke85@piefed.social 11 points 1 week ago

I hate when that happens!

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 9 points 1 week ago

Absolute legend.

[–] base10@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago

You'd think they would have rinsed it off before taking the picture

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Makes me wonder how people in ye olde times worked around removing objects lodged inside their bumholes

There has to be some Roman text of a doctor removed about this

[–] bless@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

I'm thinking they didn't

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can someone convert that to gerbil units?

I think it's about 0.66 bunnies, if that helps.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

"Ah and now to clear up this tea service on our outside porch after rain."

[10 seconds later]

"Oh dear."

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Did the ever see what happened to the guy who shoved a glass jar up his ass? He’s lucky he’s alive.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago

That punchline was weak.

[–] fullsquare@awful.systems 2 points 1 week ago

at least he didn't cause a civil war

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago

Lol, this is like 4 posts after the ISO 3533 5.2.1.1 post for me

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

When I got an apple up there thinking I can easily retrieve it then, I just told the doctor "yes it was me".

Anyways, use flared objects, preferrably things made for sex.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hate when things fall into my anus accidents. I just can't stop it from happening! Like these things fall down the back of my pants and find a way up there all by themselves!

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

Have you been playing with the cartoon magnet again?

[–] not_me@piefed.social 0 points 1 week ago

2 girls and a cup ?
