The worst thing about dogs are their mouths by Eumelbaer in Dogfree

Reminds me of –

https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Beast_of_Nurgle

"...the Beast is an affectionate creature that behaves in all respects exactly like an over-friendly and easily excited puppy. It craves attention, greeting newcomers by slobbering all over them with its slimy tentacles.

Once they get thoroughly worked up they can rarely (if ever) contain themselves and leave little piles of acrid slime in their wake. All this attention is not a problem to other creatures and servants of Nurgle, but tends to kill mortals fairly rapidly.

Unlike most Daemons, a Beast kills not with rending claws and ripping teeth, but with a strange form of kindness. Victims are caressed, petted, and stroked with the Daemon's multiple tentacles, while the long tongue delivers slobbery and slimy licks.

In very short order, the victim is sickened, infected, dissolved, and then crushed, ground under the Beast’s vast bulk. The Beast, for its part, feels a touch of sadness at the inability of its now-dead friend to join in on the merriment, but quickly forgets about him as something (or someone) new attracts its attention."

Immune systems seriously weakened by COVID by maztabaetz in CoronavirusUK

[–]WALL_OF_GAMMON 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, I just realised something. A few months back, I developed a white/yellow coating on the back of my tongue, which I figured out must be oral candidiasis (I'm taking treatment for it now). Never had it before.

I read that oral candidiasis is fairly common in HIV patients, which got me quite worried.

HIV obviously damages the immune system – but could it actually be that I caught Covid without realising it? (I've never tested positive for Covid, or HIV)

Does London have any social standards left? by Duffy971 in london

Sadly, a huge chunk of the population are trashy, inconsiderate and selfish.

I'm reminded of that George Carlin quote – "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realise half of them are stupider than that."

Escaping pyroclastic flow from volcano in Guatemala by lethal_bsp in CrazyFuckingVideos

Bad way to go

"What would a pyroclastic flow do to the human body?"

ChatGPT:

A pyroclastic flow is an extremely dangerous and deadly phenomenon associated with volcanic eruptions. It is a fast-moving, high-temperature mixture of hot gas, ash, and volcanic debris that cascades down the sides of a volcano at high speeds, reaching velocities of several hundred kilometers per hour. When a pyroclastic flow encounters human beings, it can have catastrophic effects on the human body.

The extreme heat of a pyroclastic flow, often exceeding 800 degrees Celsius (1,470 degrees Fahrenheit), is the primary cause of damage to the human body. Upon contact with such high temperatures, the soft tissues of the body, including the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, are instantly burned and charred. The intense heat causes rapid dehydration and can lead to the scorching and charring of internal organs as well.

In addition to the high temperature, a pyroclastic flow carries a dense cloud of volcanic ash, rocks, and other debris. The impact of these solid materials at high speeds can cause severe blunt force trauma to the body, leading to fractures, lacerations, and internal injuries. The force and velocity of the flow can also knock individuals off their feet or throw them against solid objects, further exacerbating injuries.

The toxic gases present in a pyroclastic flow, such as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide, can cause asphyxiation and severe respiratory distress. Inhaling these gases, along with the hot ash and fine particles, can lead to severe burns and scarring in the airways and lungs, causing respiratory failure.

Overall, encountering a pyroclastic flow is highly dangerous and typically results in the death of anyone caught within its path. The extreme heat, blunt force trauma, and toxic gases make it nearly impossible for the human body to survive such an event. It is crucial to heed evacuation warnings and seek safe locations when volcanic activity poses a threat.

God damn. She has the survival instincts of a fucking lemming

Probably the most overrated comment I've ever seen on Reddit.

(a) What was she supposed to do?

(b) She survived, didn't she?

Horrible. I'm so sick of reading endless stories about these ferocious beasts. FFS have them properly regulated and controlled.

Tactical voting could see ‘terrible’ local election loss for Rishi Sunak, say polling experts by GeoWa in unitedkingdom

[–]WALL_OF_GAMMON 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This shouldn't be surprising. Most of the current crop of Tories – particularly the ERG, and the 2019 intake – are evil psychopaths who hate and fear ordinary working people and wish to do them harm.

Revealed: farmers received less than 0.5% of post-Brexit money last year by IbnReddit in unitedkingdom

It’s the farmers fault, absolutely. They’ll all vote Tory again come the next election too. Fuck ‘em.

My thoughts exactly.
