Ah, a healthy gut fauna
Help how do I give Lemmy Gold
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.
Top comment 🥇
🥇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 whoring. I mean, I’m bad enough already, do you guys actually want to incentivize me?
do people actually care that much about upvotes?
Some. Idgaf. I just like sharing memes.
I’d incentivize Flying_Squid or SatansMaggotyCumFart, not you though.
You will find yourself quickly earning my praise with such posting.
Yeah then if you wanted more to give away you can buy 20 gold for 5.99
ew no
I believe they are called Winks on Lemmy
A great adventure is waiting for you ahead. Hurry onward Ladybug, or you will soon be dead. The journey before you may be long and filled with woe. But you must escape the gay man’s ass, or your tale can’t be told.

The Sparrow Prince lies somewhere way up ahead! Don’t look back Ladybug, or you will soon be dead! Ladybug, Ladybug, the time is growing late. Slow down now, and seal your fate.
Take the magic helmet-torch to help you light the way, there’s still a lot of ground to cross inside the man so gay! Ahead of you lies adventure, and your strength still lies within! Freedom from the ass of doom is the treasure you will win!
Ladybug came to the stomach dark… Near the depths of the lungs and heart…
Catatafish of the stomach’s cove!

Lay-Lay-Ladybug Ladybug Lady-Ladybug Ladybug, Laid-lay-Ladybug, Beetle King.
Is this from South Park?
(Cue the Capt America I get that reference gif)
In the episode, “The Death Camp of Tolerance”, Mr. Garrison inserts Lemmiwinks into Mr. Slave’s anus with the hope that he’ll get fired. Lemmiwinks then travels through Mr. Slave’s digestive system to reach freedom.
Episode s06e14
Lemmiwinks is our mascot.
Lol I didn’t know the context so I sang it in my head to go along with Musical Advice from Over the Garden Wall. Not perfect but it works!
Close enough. Yep this works. :)
By the way if you haven’t seen Over the Garden Wall, it’s worthy to take the torch of spooktober staple from the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. Absolute gold.
Yis
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”.
Now you know why they smell like gross musty shit
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.
Here’s the thing
Classic reference, friend.
It’s a jackdaw bug???
M have you looked in colons before for bugs?
Buddy didn’t sleep tight enough
not enough flared bases
(⁀ᗢ⁀)
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
Please let this be a normal field trip
At my old school we never entered someone’s rectum without consent.
How did it get there?
This is not my beautiful house! This is not my beautiful wife!
Same as it ever was.
Pretty sure it didn’t survive a trip through stomach acid.
Did you ever find a bug on a vegetable in the market?
🤔
Granted, I think a human stomach is more difficult to traverse than a frog, and it’s more likely that it came in the back door. I’m just not willing to rule it out.
I vote food. There must be some unlikely placement along a meal that allows it to spend minimal time in contact with the acid.
My best guess is that it was on some of the equipment and somehow got transferred in during the colonoscopy.
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.
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
clutches pearls
*clenches butthole, clutches pearls, looks back and says “try again my little entomologist,” closes eyuigsxkhb
Oh God! I blinded myself!
I heard this in his voice.
MEMAW GET THE FIREPLACE TONGS
I got spiders living in mine. Keeps the bugs out.
🎵He anally inserted a spider to eat the fly; I don’t know why he inserted the fly; perhaps he’ll die🎵
I think they mean “gastroentomology”.
Tee hee hee.
…that’s some clever gastroetymology…
Oh you silly goose!
“Geez, Allen. You got a bug up your butt or what?”
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.
Truly a shitpost.
Gastroenterology FTFY
No sorry this is gastro-entomology.
This conversation is gastro-etymology, BTW.
That was the joke I was trying to make but the combination of fat fingers and autocorrect bastardized it
