Fun fact, the act of putting ginger up someone's bum was historically used as in torture, however it is now a part of BDSM communities.
It's called Figging.

I've never really had the opportunity to mention this random bit of knowledge before, as believe it or not the subject has never come up before. Thanks, RFK. Jr. Sort of.

You need to peel the ginger first!

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You can just use your teeth for that, it provides antioxidants or something. Starts to taste a bit funny after subsequent peelings, though.

Starts to taste a bit funny after subsequent peelings

Because of the bowel interaction?

[–] Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

No, more likely the growth inhibitors markets use

A woefully underserved porn category

I know one I wish I didn't, about why you can find cannisters of nitric oxide at porn stores. (You get crackers and baloons and you inhale the nitric oxide, laughing gas, we used to do it when tripping and smoking green bud, it would seemingly last a few minutes in those situations and not just 1 minute like the whippets which are an expensive way to do it.

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago

Poppers is what they call those little black bottles with the caps, which folks in the gay community sniff. Relaxes the bum hole.
I've not ever tried them myself, since I'm a top anyway, however it's popularly known around gay pubs and the like.

[–] squidman64@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Nitric oxide and nitrous oxide are two different things

Does anyone have an unpaywalled version or the text?

I have zero information about what's going on.

Also maybe there's someone else who covered it?

None of the usual paywall removers seem to work on it.

Having stuck many things up my ass, I’m simply not comfortable taking advice from this guy

Being somewhat sane I'm simply not comfortable taking advice from this guy.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's just Eric Cartman pretending to be AI.

Now I'm sad he didn't use a burger in that episode.

Roses are red

He wants us to respect him

But:

[–] ScientifficDoggo@lemmy.zip 25 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He keeps shoving steaks in his rectum.

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Y'know. Imagining the texture of yogurt covering the texture of steak anywhere near that area of my body is horrifying. Thanks, I hate it xD

It's got what buttholes crave

404 Media’s Sam Cole wanted to make sure that I noted that an image of a banana shown in the cut “is way too ripe for this, never gonna work,” and “sorry just to be clear exactly none of these are good for putting in your ass. Like please say that. This is not only funny it’s straight up bad advice. You’re going to lose a cuke in your ass if you do what this thing says.”

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I mean, all things considered...it's not necessarily giving bad advice. It suggests using a condom, and attaching a safety string to some vegetables so you don't lose them, and how to carve a flared base in your cucumber to give it that butt-plug shape. Could do worse.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Just... No. If you carve a cucumber, the base will fall off. And a string is insufficient and can slip.

This is worse than obviously bad advice. It's bad advice that's believable by the inexperienced.

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

That's where the fishing technique recommendations it makes come into play.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

It’s just ChatGPT isn’t it Or grok maybe

[–] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

It would be grok for sure.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 days ago

Nothing about pineapples?

[–] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net 6 points 3 days ago

Apparently apples are not suggested, they could lead to brain worms

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 5 points 3 days ago

Hey at least it’s not pedonazi shit we hear from these guys…just this once.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

@grok, is stuffing a sealed jar of food up my ass just as good as stuffing raw produce up my ass?

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 2 points 3 days ago

One man one jar

Beef lobby??

Lol

*when asked what foods are best to insert into your rectum

[–] csolisr@hub.azkware.net 4 points 3 days ago

In his defense, the products are chosen solely for their nutritional value and absolutely not for "deviant reasons" as he'd say

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I could see RFK doing this

[–] Zier@fedia.io 1 points 3 days ago

Cool as a cucumber, as the saying goes. Boner points for the B Vitamins!
