Quit Your Bullshit!

233 readers
1 users here now

Rules:

1: Bullshit must actually be called out.

Posts must be a screenshot of a lie/bullshit, and a call-out.

The lie and its direct responding call-out must be included in the screenshot(s) you provide. Context/call-outs in the title or comment section don't count.

Screenshots with overlaid text or other screencaps do not count: use them to call bullshit and screenshot that! Posts without proof will be tagged as such and could be subject to removal by the moderators.

2: Screenshots only. No links, stories, or videos!

Images / Screenshots only. Don't link to the location of the bullshit. No reddit and lemmy links allowed.

Don't link to a news article, or post a text story or a video. Your post must consist of screenshots only -- including the lie/bullshit and the call-out.

3: Remove all personal information -- even your own.

This decreases the likelihood of brigading/harassment and proves that we do everything we can to avoid it.

Basically, don't include a username that can be used to locate the bullshitter.

This means the reddit username, lemmy username, facebook name, twitter handle, and all other forms of identifying info (including your own username!) must be blocked. Posting user information in the comments circumvents this rule and will result in a ban.

4: Don't call bullshit on Trolls/Jokes/Memes/Bots/Honest Mistakes

Deliberate trolls or jokes don't belong here. This includes content from meme/joke communites -- jokes are made to be shared.

Posts involving honest mistakes don't belong here. Sometimes, people are wrong. Sometimes, users are mistaken or mislead. Being wrong isn't bullshit. Being a hypocrite isn't bullshit. It happens.

Calling out repost bots can also fall under this rule.

5: Political content is not allowed.

We don't want to push any political agenda. We don't support one side or the other -- we're simply observers. Basically, any content taken from a political subreddit or mentioning politicians will be removed. For political discussion head over to /c/Politics

Current news events may fall under this rule. Mods discretion.

If your post falls into a grey area, don't be afraid to message us before posting!

6: Stay civil. No hate speech or slurs!

Remember the human. Keep it civil. Don't use racial slurs or homophobic language.

7: Don't link to the bullshit, the bullshitter, or any covered info.

Don't name the bullshitter in the comments, or link directly to the bullshit involved. Similarly, don't request personal info/usernames that are covered up in the post.

8: Downvote/Harassment-brigading isn't allowed. No witch-hunts.

This subreddit does not allow downvote-brigading, harassment-brigading, or witch-hunting. This behavior will NOT be tolerated, and is the quickest way to net a permanent ban. Always follow Lemmiquette. If a post generates a downvote brigade, it will be removed even if it doesn't violate the other rules. We are merely observers.

9: Common Repost.

Posts in the Common Reposts Folder are not allowed to be reposted.

If the bullshit you're posting isn't in the folder, it's up to the moderators to determine if a repeated post is "common" or not.

If you repost old content with an identical title, we'll assume you're a bot and give you a permanent ban.

10: Recent Repost.

Please, check if your post has already been posted recently before submitting. Also, no reposts of Top/Popular posts!

I'd peg this one as a maybe. I have helped move foks onto the CT machine. I've wheeled patients into the x-ray rooms and watched as they get imaged before once again wheeling them to the next place. I'd say I have a fair bit of experience in this, and rarely do I see clothes actually being removed or them being cut off. Trauma? Sure, cut off the clothes (but only to the point necessary; you won't see pants cut off if CPR is started, just the top stuff).

If the purpose of the image wasn't near the belt line, like a chest X-ray, I could absolutely see this appearing as a side note way at the bottom.

I've had a ton of X-rays but never had to remove my clothes for them... Cat scan, yes, but not X-ray.

I think it depends on what is being x-rayed. I've always had to change into a gown if what was being x-rayed was covered by normal clothes.

Radiologist here. Yes the techs are supposed to have the patients remove all metal items (or any clothing likely to cause issues in the image quality) but in practice this is highly variable between locations/technologists. Sometimes the tech is never made to redo the image and so gets sloppy over time. Sometimes things are rushed and a mistake happens. For all we know this image was acquired, tech realized the problem and asked for belt to be removed then redid the image.

One of my favorites was a gal who had panties on that had rhinestones spelling out “SEXY.” They were tiny and so it was kind of just a little subtle in the image but hilarious once you spotted it.

I love how shitpost bot spam always has all the timestamps removed.

[–] jaybone 1 points 1 month ago

Sigh. Check their history.

In a medical setting we would never do an X-ray like this. Maybe airport security scanning or something like that, but this would mean you were a incompetent bad xray tech in a medical setting.

[–] neatchee 4 points 1 month ago

This could also easily be an x-ray from a security device at an airport or similar

In line with the tenor of other comments so far, and as can reasonably be supposed to be supported by the experience of the millions of people in the entirety of medicine's history who have ever undergone the creation of an X-ray image (most of which, one assumes, were made in a non-emergency situation without requiring the forcible and invasive disrobing of the subject), I think the true bullshit of this post can be found in the claims of this alleged "xray tech".

What did you find in the region under examination?

His belt buckle, his huge smartphone in one pocket (now fried), and a wallet full of change in the other!

And inside the body?

Dunno, we couldn't see it under all the stuff!

People in here are calling bullshit on the bullshit, but I think it makes sense they'd remove obvious obstructions to the image like a belt buckle, even if they didn't know it went further in the belt. The guy can hold his pants up for the duration of the procedure.

I have for a fact taken an X-ray with a Pentacle necklace that I forgot to take off back in high school. when I went through my wicca phase. It was metal as fuck I wish I would have asked for a copy. This was old school film X-rays with film plates before digital X-rays were a thing.
