All we need is a toboggan, a funnel, a couple shots of fireball, safety goggles, and a positive mental attitude.

Friend of mine used to work for a 24-hour big box store in Michigan. He was working an evening shift after a big snow dump when two college kids came through his lane with trash bags, a container of vaseline, and a bottle of vodka. They didn't even spring for the goggles!

Sigh Kids... Always wear PPE. A dirty snowball to the eye is no joke.

[–] spinne@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago

At least bring lunch trays and goggles, boys. Busted tailbones are no joke

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 11 points 6 days ago

Nor this altitude

[–] Hond@piefed.social -1 points 6 days ago

fair enough

Snow in my asshole? In this economy??

The ploughs must have been out

I love getting my colon plowed

[–] socsa@piefed.social 50 points 6 days ago

How many times do I need to ask you to stop posting my grindr profile on social media?

[–] Haaveilija@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Is this colonialism?

[–] arsCynic@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

That analogy is spot on. Everyone knows how light one feels after the first post-coffee morning dump.

How are you supposed to know the cleanliness of your colon?

[–] weariedfae@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So my partner literally had a colonoscopy this week.

I don't know how to do spoiler tags and they often don't work on my app anyway so WARNING: GROSS.

You drink a special laxative and chew these special pills to empty everything out and, critically, you know when you're clean when your poop comes out identical to pee. Translucent yellow liquid. The instructions have a color chart and everything.

My elderly neighbor doesn't exactly follow rules. She had a colonoscopy earlier this year. They sent her home because she "wasn't clean." She had to repeat the process later, and I can't imagine she was a Sunny Country Road, but they at least completed the exam that time. I am still mortified for her, my first colonoscopy was last year, I spent a full day on the toilet prepping. Nearly slept in the bathtub.

You dont need to know yourself, just follow the instructions the doctor gives you before the procedure. Usually fasting, maybe a rinse.

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hang them on the fence inside out and hose them down with a garden hose.

[–] Hazmatastic@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I mean, it's not the first option I'd go with but it is certainly one of the ideas I've ever heard

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sometimes they send entirely inadequate instructions you know aren't going to work and then you have to go more than once. That's a pain in the ass.

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 4 points 5 days ago

To be fair, even going one time will be a pain the ass. Returning a second time will be another pain in the ass.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

how do I know if I did a good job or not though? Do I just gotta trust that I followed the instructions correctly?

I'm just sayin give me a lil camera so I can check.

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 6 points 5 days ago

Oh... you will know, because you will only be shitting clear liquid, every 30-90 minutes half way through the protocol.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Just get a bag of that road de-icing salt

[–] JillyB@beehaw.org 2 points 5 days ago

The graphic is urging a patient to actually do the required prep. The prep cleans you out.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

It's ribbed for your pleasure

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Is there a hosepipe adapter for your bum? Asking for a friend.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 days ago

DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Do you want the one shaped like a dildo or is classic butt plug okay?

douche hose adapters exists

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

And, it's fucking fascinating. Don't get sedated, watch the weirdness!

[–] weariedfae@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

Huh. They didn't give my partner a choice when they got a colonoscopy.
