I’ve seen images of men with their testicles in a tourniquet and they did not look well at all. They weren’t even bleeding that much. It was less of a medical emergency and more of a hobby it seems.
I appreciate both your joke and, most especially, your username.
Who would win? Private healthcare or a Phillips screwbullet?
If the options are “Phillips head fucks shit up” and something not being fucked up by Phillips, assume the thing is about to get fucked.
NEW BOTTOM SURGERY JUST DROPPED, GIRLS!
That big artery in the inner thigh. … Yeah you can die pretty fast if it gets severed.
Femoral artery.
Femoral of the story
there’s a similar one on your arm. the one they give you IVs in. fun fact i was getting an IV removed and i had a fairly new RN (first year on the floor but damned competent. third day on my room and we’d gotten to become friendly. i’m pretty sure she had a family member who’d had a port and had been their caregiver or something) and she had just popped the catheter out of my AC. she pressed down with the cotton ball with her other thumb and… missed. GOOOOSH GOOOOSH GOOOOSH GOOOOSH goes my antecubital all over the room and she turns green. runs out of the room as i slowly and calmly (because i am high as balls on the good hospital painkillers) reach over and put some pressure on. about 30 seconds later she comes back in with a big gauze, i have the bleeding stopped and there were five great big red streaks all across the room. And her now that i think about it i am sure i was so embarrassed i couldn’t look her in the eye. I think i traumatized that poor woman. i’m just like “hey” You really can’t control your instincts until you’ve been through it once or twice.
Once at a pet store , I reached in the cage to pet a jumbo rat that was sitting out for adoption (cause I love animals) but it bit me. And just happened to hit some main artery in my finger (I didn’t even know bigger ones were in the finger,). I pull my hand back and literally spray blood, 6 feet in diameter around the whole area. It’s on the floor. The cage. The table. The shelf. Like looked like someone got stabbed. And it was just a small puncture bite.
I mean it hurt but I was distracted by all the mess. So I wrap my gushing finger. And try to clean up my blood that’s everywhere cause I didn’t want a minimum wage worker to have to do it.
My bf at the time was a very squeamish guy. I actually saw his lips turn blue at the sight and I thought he was going to faint. (Yeah a grown man).
So I had to drive us both to the ER where I got a tetanus shot and a bandaid. (Not much to do for punctures).
Also my insurance wanted me to sue the pet store but I refused. They called multiple times. Wanted me to say the pet store was liable for the ER visit.
Which certainly would have resulted in someone losing their minimum wage job.
The hospital wanted me to report the animal to have it euthanized. I refused (literally my fault. ). .anywho.
I just remembered all the blood. And it happened so fast.
Lucky it was just a finger and I easily put pressure on it and stopped it pretty fast.
I’ve never put my hand in an unknown animal cage again. 😅
i was on the way to the pet store later tonight (to get a therapeutic bag of kitty litter to ragepunch) and you may have just saved me from getting catscratched
Dang, were they actually going into an artery there, or was it just a large opening or you were also on blood thinners or something?
I get an IV every month and they always use a vein, and any bleeding is just a tiny ooze. But I’m holed up for a matter of hours, not days+ as with a hospital stay.
my veins have always had good return when giving samples, and this was in the big through your elbow vein. antecubital. my preferred placement is basilic. the large looking mid-forearm pinky close to the elbow but not too close to it i can still move my arm without pinching the cath or hitting a valve. I thinkthat’s antecubital and the basilic but it has been a long time sing i taught myself anatomy.
as far as volume and force and velocity and delta vee i guess this was excessive even for me. i know there’s some blood thinner (warfarin i’m guessing) coating around a lot of IV catheters to help them last a little longer, but all i can explain is we used a larger cath (20 instead of 16) because i was really dehydrated when i arrived and i had just gotten pumped with probably 6 liters of saline because that was the last time my kidneys were going to feel sated until the next time my shitter got jammed.
uh that was meant for somenoen else
So much to unpack. Love the first gen area Playstation sweatshirt. This looks like an actual photo. What is that in the background? A toilet? Like in the jails? I need context.
Found larger version on tineye:
I don’t know if this helps though…
Well, at least that metal thing is a normal kitchen. One of 26,419 questions answered. 😋
Rifle looks like a Galil, so she’s probably got some relation to the Israeli military.
I probably just caused you to have more questions…
HK G36-C no?
Looks like she is standing in a kitchen, actually.
I see a tiled kitchen backsplash, above head cabinets, and utentils like salt shakers and the white box looks like a microwave or a toaster oven, or maybe its a coffee machine.
I feel like you can if you do the whole torso

Yes you can, these tourniquets already exist
just tourniquet the neck, right?
This is a new image/meme for me and I like it. The hand gesture gives it a little bit of a “witches vs patriarchy” vibe too. I don’t know if that means more or less coming from a random old cishet dude, lol.
I feel like I’m looking at modern art. It makes me feel so many different ways. It all comes together but then falls apart the more you study it. I feel a small amount of resentment towards myself for being attracted to it, but that also excites me at the same time.
10/10, would frame and put on a wall if I didnt live in a shared space.
It’s so versatile too. I could see this hanging on the wall at work with “git push” or “./build.sh” under it and it would just make sense.
Probably wouldn’t pass the HR sniff test but you get the idea, lol.
If you aim too low, you’ll hit a leg, which can be tourniquetted.
So I know this is a shitpost, but a pelvic shot is taught by some militaries as part of an alternative failure drill (two shots to the chest, followed by one to the head if they continue to be a threat). Its a larger target than a headshot requires, and is rarely protected by armor. Plus, if you miss, the shot is more likely to hit the ground instead of continuing flight well beyond whoever you were shooting at.
So shitpost or not, its not the worst place to shoot.
taught by some militaries
Also some police agencies.
More importantly, there are ‘junctional tourniquets’ now for armpits and groins. They’re obviously not as effective as a tourniquet around the limbs, but they’re around.
An abdominal aortic junctional tourniquet stops bleeding to any lower extremity or groin injury by cutting off the abdominal aorta.
recoil also tends to pull high (if you’re not anticipating), so a groin shot if pulled would just end up centre mass instead, where a head shot would be a whiff
And if you hit the pelvis they are combat ineffective and require medical evacuation. You have now incapacitated three people.

or end up Robocop scene 27ing (don’t watch that unless you’re prepared to see a whole lot of dick get shot off)
as a non native speaker, what is a taint in this context?
The piece of skin between a ball sack and an asshole or the skin between a vagina and an asshole.
I see, thank you :)
Today I learned one new useful word. Thanks!
Wonder if there’s ehough of this to start /c/AmericanEnglishLessonsShitpost
most our good slang is just rehashed AAVE
Fwiw - the actual name is “perineum”, at least in the US.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2D6GYoyJZ8A
The whole interview is gold.
Oh yeah, for context: the episode starts with John complaining about his perineum cream or something. The whole episode is great.
It got the name as a play on words. It ain’t your asshole and it ain’t your balls. If you say ‘it ain’t’ fast it sounds like taint.

I was just finishing the Card Against Humanity:
Believe it or not, that’s actually one of the more recent revisions to the training. The military has been training to aim for the dick area because everyone has plates that protect center-mass these days. You cannot effectively move AND have armor that restricts your legs from working.
This is true, we were taught that the “hip box” was a prime target zone for many reasons, body armor being one but also since the pelvic girdle is a main support nexus for musculature, if it is damaged then most of the body is out of commission. Plus, there is a very high likelihood that the femoral artery will be damaged and if so a target is likely to bleed out in a matter of seconds.
It just taint right, being shot in the crotch like that.
You don’t shoot a guy in the dick, Butters
What is that gun‽ It looks like some kinda amalgamation of a bunch of different guns.
The stock looks like an ak but the magazine and fore end are screaming Turkish shotgun.
Looks like a G36c
Spot fucking on!
Please don’t shoot my taint
Perforate their pelvic floor.

Just watch out for the ones with armored but plugs.
