The proposed theory is the preparations the patient made for the colonoscopy may have allowed the ladybug to survive the digestive system.
“Geez, Allen. You got a bug up your butt or what?”
This was a pretty great thread, y’all are fantastic.
Don’t er have like digestive juices and bacteria to kill stuff exactly like this?
It entered from the back
… when?
When no one was looking.
Sleep
How?

Gastroenterology FTFY
No sorry this is gastro-entomology.
That was the joke I was trying to make but the combination of fat fingers and autocorrect bastardized it
This conversation is gastro-etymology, BTW.
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”.
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
Here’s the thing
Now you know why they smell like gross musty shit

I remember this level from The Fractured But Whole.
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.

Oh God! I blinded myself!
I heard this in his voice.

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!
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.
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
Yeah then if you wanted more to give away you can buy 20 gold for 5.99
Please let this be a normal field trip
At my old school we never entered someone’s rectum without consent.
Truly a shitpost.
I got spiders living in mine. Keeps the bugs out.
