rumschlumpel ( @rumschlumpel@feddit.org ) English55•2 months agoBTW, human tissue might not be targeted by a bacteriophage virus, but our gut is filled with beneficial bacteria. This is why people get the runs from antibiotica and why there’s shit transplants.
Most viruses are probably not surviving the acid bath that is our stomach, though.

Rai ( @Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English7•2 months agoHe mentioned the burps are terrible and I HATE that thought.
Korhaka ( @Korhaka@sopuli.xyz ) English3•2 months agoFuck that isn’t even something I considered and I now need to clean myself.
Rai ( @Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English2•2 months agoI can’t burp but I hate imagining that.
He also mentioned they capped up the initial poop at the doctor, but then they just gave him a couple vials of shit to put in his freezer at home and cap it all himself after that. He has to eat like eight pills at a time.
I’d just get the injections.

Lumiluz ( @Lumiluz@slrpnk.net ) English20•2 months agoThose exist.
There’s even bacteria that can live in stomach acid and cause terrible issues. Like helicopter
Edit: I’m keeping that typo lmao

stelelor ( @stelelor@lemmy.ca ) English13•2 months agoHelicobacter, like Helicobacter pylori which causes ulcers.

Kazumara ( @Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de ) English30•2 months agoWhat do they mean trigger warning: unsanitary
Clearly it was very pure virus concentrate, after removing all the dead cell pieces. That sounds sanitary as fuck.
redjard ( @Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English20•2 months agoIs a space heater 100% efficient or 100% inefficient?
nospoon ( @duramu@beehaw.org ) English4•2 months agoIs this the new meta for glass half full/empty?
redjard ( @Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English7•2 months agoglass half full half empty has no good answer. This one does.
Heaters are 100% inefficient machines (tho 100% efficient at their job) and pure virus is 100% unsanitary (tho 100% pure)
Nora ( @crazyminner@lemmy.ml ) English25•2 months agoMy brother used to do chewing tobacco. He would spit into pop bottles. He left one laying around in the kitchen. I tried to steal a sip of what I thought was A&W root-beer. It was the same colour.
What came next was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever experienced. Imagine drinking someone’s thick cold saliva mucus that had a disgusting apple cinnamon and smokey tar taste.
I ran to the sink as fast as I could and spat it out and forced myself to throw up.

Amanduh ( @Amanduh@lemm.ee ) English3•2 months agoI dipped for 10 years, I would also drink while dipping. One time I went to take a sip of a beer and it was my buddy’s spit beer bottle, I just spit the spit back out no issues and found my beer.
The moral of the story is to always have a spit bottle that is different from your drinking bottles. (I also quit 6 years ago)
HootinNHollerin ( @HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English24•2 months agoI drank cobra whiskey I got a bottle of in Cambodia, only to find out it was a ton of formaldehyde and instantly, involuntarily, violently puked it all up everywhere
There’s a story behind this.
