I am literally reading this on my squatty potty (if you don't have one - BUY ONE)

FYI: Defibrillators don't start the heart, they stop it.

The heart doesn't stop in many heart attacks. Instead it just beats erratically and in a way that doesn't pump blood well. Shocking the heart to stop it (what a defib does) causes the nerve cells to "reboot" and start beating regularly again.

Shocking a victim who's heart has stopped is useless and automatic defibrillators won't go off until they've detected the arrhythmia.

Hearty restarty

[–] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

It's essentially the "have you tried turning it off and back on again" of cardiology.

[–] wurstgulasch3000@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

I blame House MD for this common misconception

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Yes, thank you, I'm glad you mentioned it here, it doesn't happen often enough. I mean, it's even in the name, right? Defibrillator gets rid of fibrillation - the erratic beating!

And hippos aren't buoyant.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Well it's that or the Action Comics method.

Alliteration for everyone!

Pooper scooper -> Poopy Scoopy

Perhaps my favorite meme ever

Beans = Farty Starties

Because they give you gas (pooty booty).

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

And if they went bad, you get booty shooty (diarrhea).

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago

Beans, beans, the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot.

[–] Hux@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 hours ago

I can only read this in Paul McCartney’s voice…

[–] terraborra@lemmy.nz 22 points 17 hours ago

If they could read they’d be very upset.

[–] MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

I'd have called them chazzwazzers

Walkie-talkie was created by a Canadian engineer Donald Hings.

The lol per pixel ratio of this meme was significantly above the mean

Speedo = Scrotie Totey

Erectile Dysfunction = Teenie Weenie

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

I am completely on board with this and suggest we amend all the dictionaries immediately.

[–] Godort@lemm.ee 11 points 18 hours ago

It's a travesty that they aren't called "Fuzzy Buzzies"

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 12 hours ago

Tractor trailers = big rigs.

[–] OneCardboardBox@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 17 hours ago

You can thank the US Army for that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCR-300

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Huh, I thought defibrillators were for arrhythmias, but it's also for cardiac arrest.

[–] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 6 points 13 hours ago

It should be called Hearty Stoppy. That's what they do. Stop your heart so it can reboot in safe mode.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Yup, and it fucking sucks (better than dying though) to have one used on you.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

...now I want to try it. Which is probably unwise.

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Call of the void.

Yeah, id probably join you.

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago

Real object names.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Surely Stamps should be called Lickie-Stickie-Posties.

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

glowy hoppy
