Yeah don't drink draino. If you feel depressed and want everything to end, try something new: small crimes (eg graffiti), starting a union, volunteer work for food bank, election volunteer, etc

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

Start an underground resistance, harbor repressed people in your attic/basement, etc.

If you're gonna be that extreme, just become an eco-tewwowist

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

UwU I'm an ecow-tewwowist now :3

[–] filcuk@lemmy.zip 9 points 5 hours ago

Someone pass me the draino right now

[–] Ketchup@reddthat.com 14 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I thought Trump himself suggested bleach not draino.

Do you want to clean your system of COVID or not?

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Instructions unclear. Tried to end it all, wound up cured of coronavirus instead.

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 80 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

As an Australian, i already know the results. Not going to say to avoid spoilers

[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Don't worry, I'm European, I won't tell them pesky Americans. You can tell me.

[–] assa123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 9 hours ago

don't worry, soon you will also know, and it will be before us. Have a nice EOD you travellers from the future.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 13 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Good plan. I mean personally I'd go with a .38 - Drano is gonna hurt like a motherfucker the whole time it's killing you.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Won’t hurt as bad as four more years of Trump.

[–] friendlymessage 3 points 5 hours ago

If it's only four

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 128 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

I know this is just a joke, but seriously don't kill yourself by drinking lye/drain cleaner. It a horrible death, basically slowly charing your esophagus and stomach until you die.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 3 points 5 hours ago

It doesn’t just unclog your digestive tract to be like a slip n slide for your food to come ou the other end mostly intact? The media lied to me

[–] greenshirtdenimjeans@sh.itjust.works 52 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

I might not be remembering it totally accurately but my school back in the day had some dude who attempted this come and talk to us about something, can’t remember exactly. Anyway, in order to save his life, doctors had to take his intestines and attach to his throat…OVER the rib cage. I’m pretty sure in order to eat he had to push the food down that over-the-rib intestine like trying to get the last of the toothpaste out of the tube.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I saw this on TV and it lives rent-free in my head, forever. Guy indeed has to manually assist chewed food on its way down. I don't recall if he's on a special diet, has to chew the hell out of his food for lack of a stomach, or anything else like that. What was clear is that how he got there, and the way life is now, is very unpleasant.

[–] Juvyn00b@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I remember seeing this on TV - I believe it was grill cleaner? It's been quite some years... But I remember him showing how he had to manually push food down the front of his sternum... Creepy

You might be right, I don’t remember if it was on tv or in person. It has been like 25+ years. Either way, it’s fucked!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

My mom has peristalsis. That means her esophagus muscles no longer work, and so she has to have soft foods that go down really easily and has to either sit up really straight or stand up while she eats.

And I thought she had it bad.

What a horrible day to know how to read

[–] itsJoelle@lemmy.world 19 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

For real, I just wanted to read about antics related to the American election, and homie is coming in with the “hey, I have a story about nightmare bowel reconstruction” that makes me simultaneously thankful everything is okay on my end, sad for another person, and grossed out at the same time.

I’m too exhausted for it.

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Here let me balance it out for you:

Jsndjslaleijenfnsknabwjelfoksnsbajririndnsnskfjkzmwowonrjfbdjzaiwjrnfnxksojendmxkzosmndnxndisnshufjd ok sndisnskdnidxjjsnndirjenf

Doesn't that make it better? For those that can't read, I typed out something wonderful. Text to audio doesn't do it justice.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world -3 points 12 hours ago

Man... You give too much credence to dumbasses.

[–] aLaStOr_MoOdY47@lemmy.world -2 points 6 hours ago

RIP in advance.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 24 points 16 hours ago

Liquid plumber works much better to clear clogged living.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 18 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The different hand writing is bothering me...

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 22 points 17 hours ago

Someone did the Kamala one as a standalone. Then their spouse/roommate did the Trump one to supplement it.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 25 points 20 hours ago

I think you're supposed to inject the Drano or something? Like to kill fake diseases that totally never happened... Or was that bleach?

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 10 points 20 hours ago

I thought you were supposed to inject bleach. (do I need /s?)

I was wondering if it was Ozempic. thank you for sharing.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 5 points 21 hours ago (8 children)

On one hand, lmao good meme

On the other, I genuinely wish depressed/suicidal people would dedicate their life to a random cause instead of offing themselves

As a depressed person, where the hell am I going to find the motivation? I can nearly get myself out of bed every morning

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 64 points 20 hours ago (6 children)

On the other, I genuinely wish depressed/suicidal people would dedicate their life to a random cause instead of offing themselves

Man, half the reason is that the struggle is unbearable and never ends. "Go involve yourself more in the struggle" isn't really an answer to that.

It really doesn't work that way. You can work in charity and still deal with mental illness and suicidal ideation.

[–] FoxyFerengi@lemm.ee 17 points 18 hours ago

Nearly every day at work or in school, or within my friend group, someone tells me I'm valued and make the world a better place. I am doing research on something important to me, getting a degree in environmental science, just did a production as stage manager and got to sew costumes to make my trans friends feel amazing on stage, and I still get home and think about blowing my brains out most days. Last winter I hospitalized myself again hoping to break the cycle of misery, and that didn't work. I'm one of the lucky suicidal people who can leave the house and interact with other humans (some of those love me, and I love back), but even that isn't a cure. Nothing has made life worth living, and after all these years I still don't know what would.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

Yeah it doesn’t work that way bro.

Take the most debilitating pain you’ve ever endured in your life, amp it up to “11”, and then live with it every single day from here until you die. 24/7.

Then when you think you might have a handle on managing it, have people like yourself make such dismissive comments on how you should dedicate your life to some “random cause” instead.

[–] GrundlButter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 19 hours ago

Many depressed/suicidal folks often do give themselves to a cause or calling. Depression isn't just the episodic spiral you see portrayed as depression, it's also the hard fought days where only you can see your struggle. Along with therapy, exercise, and medication, "faking it til you make it" is the treatment plan, allowing yourself the freedom to try to function and feel better. And from experience, living for others is one of the easiest ways to push yourself to make an effort.

Unless you mean "dedicate their life to a random cause" as in "at least take someone awful with you". That's generally frowned upon advice, but I definitely understand the sentiment more than I wish.

Software engineer here, that's like some of the modern open source library that's used by everyone.
