  • It’s weird people don’t.

    You literally can’t breathe in there, go to deep and you meet a terrible fate just going back up. And as if that wasn’t deadly enough, it’s filled with creatures that can kill you or look horrific but are harmless, or look derpy but are one of the smartest predators on the planet other than humans.

    That said I’ve been diving and kayaking.


  • A kidney biopsy tool, except the person who’s supposed to get the sample keeps missing and the local anesthetic (lidocaine) is wearing off

    The scars still emit pain, and the biopsy sites (I got stabbed with that thing 5 times) hurt more than the actual transplant surgery site itself.

    Other than that, cancer if the tumors grow in the right spot.

    As someone else said, gout. Definitely gout. In particular, severe gout caused by dehydration from food poisoning.

    A 14 gauge needle being stuck all the way through and past your fistula for dialysis. Here’s size comparisons:

    Note: 14 is 2 sizes bigger than 16.


    For non painful things, I’d say a bone biopsy ( this is assuming they gave you the good stuff for pain ). There’s something that feels very wrong of feeling your bones being punctured, scraped from the inside, and popped like a champagne bottle.

    Squishing a big roach with your barefoot when you didn’t know one was hiding in your shoe.

    Getting food poisoning from shellfish specifically.

    Walking through flood waters, seeing a water moccasin, but not knowing where it is or went.

    Thalassophobia.

    Someone on Lemmy Linux pointed out his past in detail, and I agree he was DEFINETLY going through the far right pipeline.

    However, he never continued it, never delved into it farther, never pushed that crap further (the dirtiest thing was hosting I think Shapiro for meme review, which while very bad, at least didn’t keep that shit up. Do wish he’d delete the video though), and seems to have changed paths after getting into actual philosophy. He’s never been a politician who’s destroyed people’s lives or a billionaire or called for people to be harmed, either.

    If we hold people like him to the same likeness of people like Musk or Shapiro etc, progressiveness will lose the cultural war to fascism. By equating any potential ally into an enemy, you only destroy your cause, and certainly only help fascists far more.


  • I read you’re planning on upgrading your insulation and windows, and speaking from personal experience those two things make a huge difference. They’re also somewhat expensive to do, so I’m guessing you’re planning on doing these changes within a year.

    In which case, you only need this window A/C for about 2-3 months. You might as well go with the cheapest one and save the money. Just make sure to get something to seal the door too so the cold air doesn’t leak out.

    Most window air conditioners come from like 4 factories anyhow. Only if you’re planning on keeping it around for years do you want to look for something specific.
