can't believe they left out cruise missile: zoomy boomy

FYI: Defibrillators don't start the heart, they stop it.

The heart doesn't stop in many heart attacks. Instead it just beats erratically and in a way that doesn't pump blood well. Shocking the heart to stop it (what a defib does) causes the nerve cells to "reboot" and start beating regularly again.

Shocking a victim who's heart has stopped is useless and automatic defibrillators won't go off until they've detected the arrhythmia.

It's essentially the "have you tried turning it off and back on again" of cardiology.

When I was a teenager my computer survived years of percussive maintenance. All I'm saying is, have doctors tried beating the shit out of their patients?

Mind blown! 🤯

I blame House MD for this common misconception

[–] angrystego 4 points 1 week ago

Yes, thank you, I'm glad you mentioned it here, it doesn't happen often enough. I mean, it's even in the name, right? Defibrillator gets rid of fibrillation - the erratic beating!

And hippos aren't buoyant.

Beans = Farty Starties

Because they give you gas (pooty booty).

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And if they went bad, you get booty shooty (diarrhea).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Beans, beans, the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot.

Erectile Dysfunction = Teenie Weenie

I am literally reading this on my squatty potty (if you don't have one - BUY ONE)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

It's a travesty that they aren't called "Fuzzy Buzzies"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

You can thank the US Army for that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCR-300

[–] davidagain 6 points 1 week ago

I am completely on board with this and suggest we amend all the dictionaries immediately.

Pooper scooper -> Poopy Scoopy

[–] baldingpudenda 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Huh, I thought defibrillators were for arrhythmias, but it's also for cardiac arrest.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yup, and it fucking sucks (better than dying though) to have one used on you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

...now I want to try it. Which is probably unwise.

[–] HappycamperNZ 4 points 1 week ago

Call of the void.

Yeah, id probably join you.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

It should be called Hearty Stoppy. That's what they do. Stop your heart so it can reboot in safe mode.

I call noodles, long ass rice.

Perhaps my favorite meme ever

I can only read this in Paul McCartney’s voice…

Tractor trailers = big rigs.

[–] Etterra 2 points 1 week ago

Well it's that or the Action Comics method.

Alliteration for everyone!

[–] ThePyroPython 2 points 1 week ago

Surely Stamps should be called Lickie-Stickie-Posties.

Real object names.
