I only clicked on this because I thought it was something else
I think they mean “gastroentomology”.
Tee hee hee.
…that’s some clever gastroetymology…
Oh you silly goose!
No
Here is a link with more information if anyone is curious: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6791639/
The proposed theory is the preparations the patient made for the colonoscopy may have allowed the ladybug to survive the digestive system.
I love how much of the article is just explaining what a ladybug is.
If that ladybug makes it out, it’ll have one hell of a story to share with its fellow bugs.
Sounds like a great writing prompt actually.
Yeah it’d almost be like if a person got swallowed by a whale or something. Someone should write a book about it.
That looks like more like an Asian Beetle than a typical Lady Bug. Those bastards will crawl into any crack or crevice they can squeeze themselves into to find a place to over-winter. They’re annoying, they smell like gross musty shit, and they will bite you given the opportunity.
So while this is the first time I’ve seen one in someone’s colon, I’m not completely shocked either. In fact, it’s kind of “on brand”.
M have you looked in colons before for bugs?
That is one hardy mofo.
Before any sort of colonoscopy, they give you a days worth of liquid laxatives that you need to drink and you will spend the better part of the day before your procedure shitting what feels like a grown man worth of shit.
Only then will the colon look as clean as it does in the picture.
That damn bug survived all that. Either that or he climbed in a nice clean colon after all the shit was evacuated.
Recent colonoscopy here, can confirm the “grown man worth of shit” estimation
the colon would be evacuated not the shit … shit cannot be evacuated.
i mean if we are splitting hairs about how bugs end up in someone’s trumpet we might as well blow the melody in tune.
Now you know why they smell like gross musty shit
Ah, a healthy gut fauna
Help how do I give Lemmy Gold
I believe they are called Winks on Lemmy
We do not do that here. We do NOT give monetized awards or bring trite rituals here. SPRAY SPRAY
Maybe it’s not really for the best, but I feel like it should be good to show support for the community that brought a comment. Maybe a (honor system) pledge to donate to the instance of the commentor or the instance of the poster?
That’s actually a quite cool idea.
🥇it’s the thought that counts
then don’t think with money!
what if after we made 20 posts or 100 comments we could give one post/comment gold?
that’d be fun!
That encourages bot or otherwise low-effort comment spamming which we also don’t want.
let me dream that at least one online community has the decency to not try to grind the fun away out of a simple feature
or make it upvotes then, 200 post upvotes & 500 comment upvotes
It would only promote karma removed. I mean, I’m bad enough already, do you guys actually want to incentivize me?
I’d incentivize Flying_Squid or SatansMaggotyCumFart, not you though.
You will find yourself quickly earning my praise with such posting.
do people actually care that much about upvotes?
Some. Idgaf. I just like sharing memes.
Yeah then if you wanted more to give away you can buy 20 gold for 5.99
ew no
“Geez, Allen. You got a bug up your butt or what?”
Lemmywinks, if you stay here you will die.

When you get so drunk you wake up and have no idea where you are or how you got there.
But what happened to the bug? Found nothing about it in the case report.
Now we just need to know how many of these crawl up our bums like the amount of spiders we allegedly eat per year.
don’t ask about ladybug georg
Did they give Lindsay Graham a colonoscopy?
Oh dude just fuck you for adding this to the universe.
Please explain, I’d like my daily dose of trauma
The story goes that during the RNC, gay prostitutes are in high demand. There is one such guy who claims to have serviced Lindsay Graham’s anus and said that it was peppered with raised moles, which Graham lovingly refered to as his “little ladybugs”.
Allegedly.
Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhh
