When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.

Posting guidelines.

All posts in this community have come from elsewhere, it is not original content, the poster in this community is not OP. The person who posts in this community isn’t necessarily endorsing whatever the post is talking about and they are not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.

You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.

Rules:

• Be civil and remember the human.

• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.

• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.

• You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

• Try not to get too political. A lot of these posts will involve politics, but this isn’t the place for political arguments.

• Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguements sake.

• Mark NSFW posts if they contain nudity.

• Satire is allowed but please start the post title with [satire] so other users can filter it out if they’d like.

Please report comments that break site or community rules to the mods. If you break the rules you’ll receive one warning before being banned from this community.

This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:

  1. Be civil, remember the human.
  2. No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
  3. Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
  4. Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
  5. Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  6. Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
  7. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
  8. No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

At some point you stop bleeding Doogie Howser. If you're lucky that'll be before you run out of blood, in which case, according to your theory of medicine, you'll be infected anyway.

If it's after you run out of blood, well, infection wasn't your main problem.

I recommend 1g of aspirin and a good bloodletting.

That's for pansies.

You can buy warfarin off the shelf in the form out pest poison.

If you wanna set a world record for death by blood loss, that's the way to do it.

Remember kids:

All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; the dosage alone makes it so a thing is not a poison.

—Paracelsus, 1538

Often condensed to "The dose makes the poison."

Also, death by warfarin overdose is a slow, bloody, painful way to go. Don't self medicate with fucking rat poison or anything stupid.

Nothing can enter your bloodstream if you just let it bleed.

Exactly. Just like how fish cannot swim upstream no matter how slow or fast the flow is.

You're all taking it out of context. They said "soap and water", meaning you're supposed to keep bleeding until you can wash it with soap and water.

DO NOT wash it with cow manure

See? It makes perfect sense...

He's got a point there actually. You definitely don't need poison in your body. By definition, that might kill you if there's enough of it.
