    A guy came into the ER with a teacup up his ass.

    The doctor asked how it happened.

    The doctor said, in the writing where I was reading about this whole event: “What followed was a long and startling story that I immediately regretted asking for.”

        That’s pretty much exactly what he said, he just took a long time to say it, which was what led to the deep, deep regret on the part of the doctor. He was dusting up on a ladder, drinking tea, totally naked, and then he fell, and oh no look what has happened now.

            I really don’t get it. The only answer that question needs is just look the doctor in the eye and ask, “do I really need to explain?”

            I don’t know for sure, but I feel like the overwhelming majority of doctors would just nod and say “got it,” and then get on with their work.

              Knowing how an injury happened can let them know to look for something you might not have considered. For example, if you come in with a broken arm and tell them you fell off a ladder, they might poke around to see if you broke anything else. If you really did wind up with something forcefully shoved in an orifice, they would want to pay careful attention for tears and such.

                  Without any basis of expertise in any aspect of this topic, a sharp, forceful motion seems more likely to cause damage than a slow pressure. Also, if someone genuinely fell on something, they probably didn’t do any prep work; whereas a deliberate insertion might involve things like stretching and lubrication (but probably not in this context).

                  Essentially, the amount of internal damage they need to look for is inversely proportional to the amount of lube you used.

                  Sure.

                  Perhaps you were naked in your pottery shop refinishing the teacup using, say, an oscillating sander, and the hot, newly roughened surface of the rim of thd teacup was propelled violently into your anus. What could potentially be observed as contusions in and around your anus should also be investigated and treated for abrasion and burns.

                  Or, in fact, you were naked, having a magic tea party in the bathroom with what, through conversation it is revealed, were your imaginary friends while you were tripping on research chemicals. The 3rd cup of “tea” you were drinking started to taste like cinnamon as your ass began to feel so incredibly empty. We might need to do a specific tox screen for the party drugs, and the mystery tea you might have found under the bathroom sink. Some of that mystery tea could also have spilled in your ass, by way of the teacup vehicle. The blunt trauma wounds on your anus may be masking chemical burns.

                  With imagination, developed from observing human behavior, it is relatively easy to appreciate the benefit of medical staff asking questions and getting answers.

      This has been a story about some people who were punished entirely too much for what they did. They wanted to have a good time, but they were like children playing in the street. We really all were very happy for a while, sitting around not toiling but just bullshitting and playing, but it was for such a terrible brief time, and then the punishment was beyond belief: even when we could see it, we could not believe it.

    It appears the market has spoken, thus you must clearly upgrade your ring cutting equipment.

      Hospitals will generally have ring cutters like this:

      Picture of a pizza-cutter like implement with an arm underneath the serrated cutting wheel.

      They are hand powered and very cost effective for gold and silver rings. Diamond tipped cutters usually need something like a Dremel to power them. They look something like this:

      Picture of a ring cutter similar to the one above but it has an electric screwdriver like attachment to power the wheel..

      They are much more expensive compared to hand powered ones, and pose a higher risk to a patient so they would require additional training to use it, which is another extra cost.

        Also, ummm, titanium gets hot. Like all metal gets hot when you cut it, that’s just how friction works.

        But titanium is gummy.

        When we cut steel it makes a nice clean chip until the tool is dull, then it’ll make ugly chips.

        When we cut aluminum or copper, we have to use tools with fewer teeth so they don’t get clogged up with chips. This is fine because these materials are so soft and we can run cutting speeds so high that having fewer teeth isn’t a big deal.

        But titanium is both gummy, in that it wants lots of space between cuts because it’ll clog up teeth, and very hard, in that it wants lots of teeth making smaller cuts.

        It’s also a shit conductor. Aluminum and copper will whisk away heat. Titanium gets hot and stays that way.

        So your titanium jewelry, wherever applied, that needs to be cut off of you, will need a diamond saw, which isn’t really a cutting tool, it’s an abrasive one. Meaning it works through aggressive, point blank friction.

        My point is if you smash your titanium cock ring on, it’s going to not only require a very uncomfortable proximity to a power tool to remove it, it’s going to absolutely burn the fuck out of your dick.

              Infinite possibilities does not mean all possibilities. It is possible - even probable, in most cases - to have an infinite set which does not contain all possible members.

              As an example, the set of all even numbers and the set of all whole numbers are both infinite sets with completely different contents. Even accounting for the fact that the set of all whole numbers contains the entire set of all even numbers, the two will still differ by a factor of 50%.

              I think that Vsauce explains this concept a little better than I can as I am not a mathematician, I merely watch their content on the internet.

We have “cutters” that are equally bad ass and powerful, but they’re still made of hardened steel, so they won’t cut the titanium, and they’re shaped/work like a beetles mandibles, so even if the could cut it, it would slide down on the ring before cutting.

People use titanium when they want something metal which is pretty strong but very lightweight. As an aside, it has pretty meh ductility for a metal and would make a poor bulletproof material, so David Guetta got that wrong too

          I’m not a doctor and I have no idea what I’m talking about, but to my (very limited) understanding of the mechanics of it, it’s not that simple.

          You don’t get/stay erect because of the flow to your penis, sure, that’s an important part of the process, but the key to getting/staying hard is blocking flow out of the penis. In theory, again, I have no actual idea, I’m just speculating, you could go in and shunt the vein to force it to open up all the way to drain the blood, however, you may hit an obstacle in trying to do that, like a titanium cock ring.

          From the limited amount I know, it’s possible to drain the blood directly, but my understanding is that it’s not a very fun thing to try to do, because as soon as you lose the erection, it opens up vessels and more blood can flow in, so it turns into a bloodletting through your cock, and you have to essentially let the blood out faster than it can flow in, unless you cut off the arterial flow into the penis, which isn’t as simple as a single clamp. The arteries are also inside of you, so that’s also a problem. Fun times in the surgery bay? (Not really)

          The whole thing is far more complex than I really understand, so I might be way off. I’m no doctor and I’m certainly not a reproductive organ specialist (or any adjacent discipline). I’m certain that someone with far more time spent in school who earns way more than I do, can correct me on every point here, so I’ll stop.

            Yeah, no, sounds about right… I guess the cavernosa have to be supplied by veins anyway so yeah. Defo not a fun procedure but was just wondering anatomy-wise if it works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
