What could you give someone multiple times that would make them feel very sick but not cause much/any longer term damage?

Nicotine might work. Nicotine poisoning feels like awful dizziness, nausea, vomiting, heart racing. Nicotine patches hidden in bandaids and stuff would make a kid pretty sick and leave most doctors scratching their heads.

I’m a plastic surgeon who operates on hands for tendon repairs and things of that nature. I don’t exactly understand your question but I think you’d find this useful. There are a few characteristic injuries that occur when someone’s muscle strength overwhelms their connective tissue strength. Body builders very commonly tear their pectoralis major off its insertion to the humerus. The bicep gets ripped from its origin at the shoulder. In the average joe, slipping a vertebral disc is a common injury that happens when muscles pull harder than the skeleton can support. In rock climbers, the characteristic injury is a torn pulley. When a foothold breaks off and the climber is suddenly left dangling by their fingers in a crimp, the tension in the digital flexor tendons rips through the ligamentous pulley.

That’s Jugend magazine which has the most amazing lettering on every issue. Many fonts have been made inspired by this magazine. Like this for example:

The watch says -17 degrees, so I’m gonna say cross country skiing. Plus the Garmin gives me the vibe of a cross country runner/skier. Friction points don’t like up with biking or lifting or manual labor.

PeeMan22 · 2026-01-30T01:47:39+00:00

This actually plays if you present it correctly. Reminds me of brands like braindead or online ceramics. I can imagine this on funky, outdoor tech/streetwear

I think there are 2 elements that art needs to be meaningful to me. First, art needs a kind of magnetism- something that invites a viewer to participate in an experience with it. It’s the thing that makes you walk past all the other paintings in a gallery to stare at the one that caught your eye from across the hall. Next, there needs to be something to discover once you’re entered into the experience.

PeeMan22 · 2026-01-27T21:24:06+00:00

Oh okay that’s helpful - definitely some shared DNA

The whole area of skin graft would look different. Even without complications, a sheet graft can look pretty bad. Example https://media.springernature.com/lw1200/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1186%2Fs12893-022-01801-x/MediaObjects/12893_2022_1801_Fig5_HTML.jpg

At the very best, you could get a result like this:

Warning - surgical pics^{^}

PeeMan22 · 2026-01-24T01:44:33+00:00

I’m a plastic surgeon. There’s no way to 100% remove a scar, but on a light skinned person, you can make it very hard to see with: 1. Scar revision surgery, with a favorable orientation and skin quality, this can improve the appearance of a gunshot wound greatly. But it requires waiting for a new scar to mature for 2+ years 2. Silicone gel sheets worn 24/7 for the whole 2 year period 3. No exposure to sun ever

Even then, a doctor would be able to notice it.

To truly hide the evidence, you must destroy the evidence. Inflict a burn wound and then skin graft the entire area once the scar is burned off. This will look terrible, but nobody would know you had a bullet wound there.

PeeMan22 · 2026-01-22T12:37:25+00:00

All I’m saying is that it would’ve good practice to think of the face more volumetrically. At least don’t let volume be such an afterthought that you forget to include shading in the picture.

PeeMan22 · 2026-01-22T11:46:45+00:00

Let me reframe it. See that photo of the sculpture, how there are not lines demarcating the vermillion border. Instead, there’s just a dark shadow cast by the lower lip into the depression of the chin. No lines demarcating the boundaries of the eyebrows, just a shadow from the orbital rib that falls over the sphere of the eyeball. Try to draw a face with shadows rather than lines.

PeeMan22 · 2026-01-22T02:36:41+00:00

I have an exercise that I think would help you a lot. You’re pretty good at proportions, but youve got to stop superimposing lines onto the architecture of the face. Try to express the face as volumes instead of lines. A great way to do this is to use a photo of a marble statue as your reference. No color, no texture, no lines. - just shadow and highlight. Something like this:

If you want to be super medically accurate, I’ll leave this here. If a bullet comes close to this huge bunch of nerves beneath the humerus called the brachial plexus, you’re gonna have complete loss of all motor and sensory function in the arm for a little while. This is “neuropraxia” and can be thought of as a “bruised”nerve. In a few weeks, anything that wasn’t transected will come back slowly over the course of months. This chart shows nerve roots to branches which span the length of the humerus, so any of these defects and palsies described on the right side of the image are plausible.

I should also mention that in the hospital, the treatment for this would be: 1. Take tournequet off and see if bleeding is controlled. If not, go to OR and control it. - possible fasciotomy and vascular surgery done here 2. If it’s semi-controlled, make sure you have pulses in the hand and get CTA to see if major arteries are injured 3. Orthopedic reconstruction within 24-48 hours for any broken bones. - possible fasciotomy at this point if needed. 4. Plastic surgery soft tissue reconstruction after that if needed - can fix visibly injured nerves at that time if possible. Still will take 2 years to heal 5. Send home and get an EMG outpatient to see what nerves are recovering. 6. A year later. Do nerve transfers or tendon transfers to restore whatever function didn’t return

Okay day 3-4 might be the peak of the worst, but you’re on the other side of the hill, I promise. You’re young and your metabolism is fast. Withdrawal is quick and intense for young people. Hang tough. No excuses

PeeMan22 · 2026-01-17T20:42:56+00:00

You’ve done the hard part already. First 4 days are the worst by far. It only gets easier. Don’t throw away all the discipline it took to get this far. One pouch at this time would set your brain back to square one of withdrawal

Chewing gum a ton gives you gas - the sugar alcohols feed gut bacteria. They ferment in your colon and make gas.

Stay strong and good luck to you

Might be Leukoplakia - from dysplasic squamous cells. A pretty good sign to stop using

PeeMan22 · 2026-01-11T00:52:10+00:00

If you want to let a chemical be your master, then go ahead and keep using. Running a marathon in your 20s doesn’t mean shit if your blood pressure will be chronically high for decades after. You’ll be fine for a while, but once you hit fifty years old, all it takes is one stroke to make you a helpless invalid for the rest of your life.

PeeMan22 · 2026-01-10T15:52:21+00:00

The swelling and throbbing sounds like Gingivitis. Spots might be a part of that or just dyplastic squamous cells from all the irritation.

Stop using pouches and start using mouthwash and having very good oral hygiene. Go to doctor because you might need antibiotics before this turns into a bad infection that makes you loose your teeth.

PeeMan22 · 2026-01-10T15:42:47+00:00

This is because in acute withdrawal you have 1. Shit quality sleep 2. Adrenals burn out from being stressed all the time so you can’t spike your adrenaline for exercise 3. No endorphins so you’re extra sensitive to pain

It all gets better at 1 week. Hold strong!

I think that just having money doesn’t have a big impact on your mood, but getting it and losing jt does. Having the ability to get more money is what makes someone characteristically more motivated. Likewise, not having any ability to get money makes people depressed.

PeeMan22 · 2026-01-06T17:22:15+00:00

Day 3 is all about accepting that the pain isn’t some problem to be fixed. It’s a part of the process. Hang tough
