One time when I was a kid my parents went away for a weekend, but we had to call them back early because my dog ate something weird and got pretty sick. This has given me vivid and horrible flashbacks

When I was 12 or so, the cat ate a very long string that she eventually partially pooped out. We called my mom when we noticed (it was summer vacation) and she told us to gently pull it out. It was the most godawful smell. Cat was fine if a little mad, don't pull strings out like that. https://i.imgur.com/1gsEFkG.mp4

Microwave ³ minutes in thirty percent power and then 3 minutes on high? What the gently caress? Just do 4 minutes on high, 30% of 3 is 1 at 100%

In the '80s/90s when we hung individual strands of tinsel on our Christmas tree, one of our cats ate it and would have a couple inches of it hanging out of his butthole for several days.

You're not meant to pull the poostring because that might  tighten it around sections of intestine, causing injury.

We had a good laugh about how gross it was and how terrible cats are. Then she told the whole story to a vet tech friend who got really quiet while her eyes got super wide and then we learned about this. Yarn is apparently worse than pretty much anything other than dental floss because it stretches, knots easily, and doesn't slide very well.

It gets stuck in poop, such that you end up with a string of poop on a shiny/stretchy string (if they ate a rubber band)....

There used to be all these dog toys everywhere that were just knotted ropes with loose strands at the ends. I used to get those toys for my dog(s). Glad they were never the type to eat those strands like spaghetti. Definitely won't be getting those or similar toys again just in case.

Yarn is apparently worse than pretty much anything other than dental floss because it stretches, knots easily, and doesn't slide very well. One time our cat swallowed a length of thread that was still attached to a spool. My wife was out of town at the time which sucked because he's very bonded to her and she might have been able to help him more easily despite his agitation. I only noticed when there was a weird clinking sound coming from one of the cat's usual cozy corners. The spool was hanging out of his mouth since he had swallowed enough of the thread. I knew he was either going to choke on the spool eventually, or the thread could bind up his guts. So I had to don thick work gloves, corner him, and grab the spool from where it was dangling an inch out of his mouth. When I got a hand on the spool, it came with about two feet of nasty, slimy thread. He also punched my hand three times in the second it took me to grab the spool. He didn't use his claws but he managed to bruise the back of my hand through the work gloves. Dang cat hits like a truck apparently. The cat is usually pretty chill and I had never seen him get mad or scared enough to smack the poo poo out of anything. It was a reminder of how much cats are lil' killing machines.

It's a show put on by people who think they're hustlers. Being attended by people who wish they could be/think they are hustlers. It's like going to a con artist convention and then buying merch. I would go to a loving tuperware party hosted by a cryptobro because i'd probably end up poisoned by the cookies.

CainFortea posted:. Money is inherently an impermanent thing, you only have it so you can spend it. Vision is a pretty different thing. I don't want to dismiss blind people (though I doubt many will read this) but I'd rather be poor and have my eyes than rich and blind.

Nobody is going blind at that apefest. From BigClive: The first thing I want to say is that if you were affected by this incident then you are NOT going to suffer permanent eye damage. The significant wavelength here (254nm) only affects the very surface of your eyes and skin. It's an unpleasant experience - but literally a daily job hazard for welders, so you're going to be absolutely OK. Your favourite painkiller will help with the discomfort. And here is his video about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DlfLthx89E
