A plumber, you say?

Some kind of

House doctor?

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I love this. Certain surgeries absolutely involve some amount of "plumbing", e.g. connecting the blood vessels in a pig heart transplant (I think they even refer to it as plumbing, perhaps informally). And I think it's very accurate to say that plumbers, electricians etc. are to houses as surgeons are to living creatures.

I got a novel plumbing job from a surgeon!

I got genital nullification surgery. With My weiner removed, I needed somewhere to pee from. So the meat man plumbed My urethra downwards to around where cis women keep theirs, sans clam. I have what's called a meatus, which is a medical term for an opening on the body. The end of My hose is neither a male nor female socket. It's not a socket at all!

That awesome.. and/or horrifying. I'm so glad I'm comfortable with the default configuration my body came with, and don't often have to think about stuff like this. But I'm also really glad you seem happy with the results of your, uhhh, renovations!

Although.. What exactly is a male socket? I've always thought of it as an outlet, nothing goes into it, stuff only flows out.

[–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

nothing goes into it

not with that attitude!

(but like, seriously thats a kink. ~~to no ones surprise~~)

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lol, I knew someone would chime in with that. But by design at least, there should be no flow from the outside in. To the extent that we can call evolution's craftsmanship 'design'.

The only thing I know about that is the scene from House where he catheters himself. To the extent we can trust the show's medical accuracy, his reaction during the insertion, and the number of pain pills he took beforehand, let's just say it seems highly unpleasant!

[–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 weeks ago

i assume its the same as anal, if you shove a huge thing up there its obviously gonna hurt, but if you start small and train bigger and bigger...

but like, it already sounds unpleasant, i dont even wanna imagine how it feels

Ohh... I was still thinking of human biology :P

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Does yours not look like that?

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

This comment rocks

[–] tutter@lemmy.blahaj.zone 84 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Could be vascular.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 weeks ago

it's never sarcoidosis!

Maybe offer him some Vicodin

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 6 points 1 month ago

Naah, would be wasted on him, send it to me instead, i make good use of it!

[–] butter_tart@piefed.ca 38 points 1 month ago

In Soviet Russia, it actually is lupus.

LoL!

[–] kuiskaaja@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

this meme is so old bro is probably retired at this point

[–] sculptor0725@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There's a 90s-ass CRT monitor in the background!

[–] hydrashok@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That’s still high tech in Russia.

There's a 90s-ass CRT monitor in my house too. It's dope af. Might even be the same chassis which was everywhere.

[–] runner_g@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Dude the stumbleupon button really takes me back. That was a huge part of my childhood internet experience.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He should consider doing a sketch show with Stephen Fry

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've never felt like breaking into a car before, but now I kinda do 😄

Maybe he should try his hand at football coaching in stead

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I like the bitesized street gags. The one with the cabbie I think of often

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, those are great too!

I also love Hugh's brilliantly stupid songs such as Where is the lid and Mystery 😆🥰

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

"wow Hugh's Russian accent is spot on"

[–] enchantedgoldapple@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 month ago

It's definitely not Dr. House. You can tell by his face that he's actually willing to listen to what others have to say

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I'd be surprised to see the Prince Regent, too.

[–] khanh@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

try and go inside your house. it should help.

[–] TheVoiceOfRaison@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

[–] jobbies@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

His mane lives on

[–] Ariselas@piefed.ca 4 points 1 month ago
