If you’re sticking bombs up your arse, you clearly don’t have much toulouse
The most surprising aspect of the case, however, is that this isn’t the first time someone has shown up at a hospital with an explosive projectile lodged in their rectum. In 2022, in Toulon, an 88-year-old man arrived at the hospital with a similar shell in the same location. There was another case in the UK in 2021, although on that occasion the object was somewhat more modern, dating back to World War II.
I’m at a loss for words, how are there multiple cases of guys sticking world war ammunitions up their asses?
In case you’re new to the internet, anything remotely available that can fit up a human ass is likely to do so.
Although public service announcement that you should stick to purpose-built butt plugs, if you want to stay out of the hospital.
we got a darwin award winner right here. Find a ww1 explosive? better inside it up my arse to check.
are shells explosive or just heavy/huge bullets? I know the ones with the tiny button on their nose, but I thought it was during WW2.
edit : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_(projectile)#High-explosive_shells
actually it was already explosive before WW1
was it food grade rusty iron? Doesn’t look safe, hopefully is up to date with his tetanus vaccine
A man walks into a bar with a waste pipe stuck in his head and orders a drink. “Are you sure you’re okay to drink?” asks the bartender. The man replies “I find it a bit draining, but I’m fine.”
But wait… Isn’t he much too young to have fought in WWI?
It actually was shot into it’s great grandmothers abdomen and has been carried through birth in each generation. Now that the carrier is a man medics actually care about it.
But, it took him 24 years to get an appointment because France has universal healthcare.

The shell time traveled and hit him straight in the ass
Apparently didn’t have enough cash to buy a butt plug, got creative, and is now forever globally embarrassed (both figuratively, and literally).
IT KEEPS HAPPENING!
Come on people if you find century old ordnance in your back yard, make sure it has a flared base!
Stick with mortar rounds, not shells for infantry support guns or artillery!
The described size of the shell is interesting. “Over 3 centimeters” sounds like it could be a 3.7cm shell which were fairly common in WW1 but, none of those were “20 cm long” most being closer to 10 cm, such as the the 37mm mle.1916, the 1 pounder pom pom and the 3.7 cm TAK 1918.
Later ww2 3.7mm shells were often close to 20cm in length though.
It’s not his fault. He fell on it.
Learned about the need for a flare base from Lemmy.
Thank you. 😒
If it doesn’t have flared base, your ass will ‘swallow’ it. Pretty quickly, in fact. Don’t fuck around with this, it’s the most embarrassing ER trip you will have.
Because HIPAA be damned, you will end up being mocked online for weeks, and the shame will be yours, even if your name is omitted from the news cycle.
sssssuuuuurrrreeee you did. (yes, that was a joke, don’t be offended, plz)
“There’s a guy in the waiting room with a WW1 shell inside him”
“Rectum?”
“Not yet, but it’s touch and go”
Everything’s a dildo when you’re brave enough
That’s the kinda mentality that lead to the fall of Yugoslavia
Understood that reference
I’m too stupid to be afraid to ask today, apparently. “Please” enlighten me.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%90or%C4%91e_Martinovi%C4%87_incident tells: “The collapse of this taboo in the coverage of the Martinović case heralded the growth of nationalism that was to lead to the country’s collapse in 1991.”
I’m conflicted about learning this. I find it informative, yet very very disturbing.
At first, I thought it was going to be about the start of WW I, given that Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by a serb in what later became Yugoslavia. It seems these are cursed people.
Damn, that’s wild. The worst thing of all (war and bloodshed aside) is that he probably just wanted to disappear in embarrassment and escape notice from the public but instead him and his bottle got written into the history books. I wonder how many academic papers have mentioned his anus?
(Pun about “asshole” originally unintended)Well, his default escape being “it was Albanians” is such an asshole move to make that he loses all sympathy points for that…

Can’t make this shit up.

What’s the app?

Thank you, looks cool. I think I’ll try it, been using booster..
My pleasure, pal! Thunder is also a good one. Those are my top two I would say. There are so many now. I think I’ve tried the vast majority of them though. I had a bit of a trial period. 😅
Time travelers coming ahead for medical care
This feels like solid evidence that the UK medical system is going to get worse as otherwise the time traveler would just keep going further in time to get better treatment.
A few years ago, I went out at the beginning of the summer to get some new pool noodles. I could t find them, no matter where I looked, all summer. So weird.
The following summer, they were everywhere, but they all had a sticker on them, that included “Not to be inserted rectally.” Suddenly, I understood why they had been off the market for a season, as the regulators got involved.
So someone saw a pool noodle, and thought “Hmmm…”

Oh no, something went south during filming for the 12 Monkeys remake?
This headline sounds like the start of a bad joke.
Getting pounded by artillery
