Damn I need to improve my english vocab. I understood nothing from this.
tbf this uses a lot of medical jargon that most people who aren't doctors will never need. put simply, it's a case of a man who put hydrofluoric acid in his ass (owie) while high from snorting cocaine
edit: wrong acid, it's actually way worse than i thought
No, hydrofluoric.
I know it's not that relevant, but isn't hydrofluoric acid a different and much more reactive acid than hydrochloric acid?
Indeed!
It's reactive enough to bond with uranium and make a gas for enrichment. Crazy stuff.
wait that says hydrofluoric acid that seems way worse???
i think my brain just kinda autocorrected it to HCl because it scares me to think that there's someone out there who a) has access to HF and b) is dumb enough to put it in their ass
That was the part I understood, it is the other one that I didn't fully understand and I'm not sure if I want to.
Native English speaker. What I got is "His guts were fucked up in these technical ways so we did magical medical stuff. He went home, came back a 5 months later with sad butt symptoms and we did this other medical thing to treat it."
So yeah, I have no desire to understand more details
Heh, I think things would have been ~~more significantly problematic~~ a bit different if HCl was involved.
Edit: I was ignorant that HF would be worse.
Tldr; dont pour acid into your ass cause it'll get wrecked
insert spongebob noted gif
The dude did cocaine and then put the industrial fluid used to dissolve and mine metal ore in his butt and it melted his flesh inside his butt, yet he survived.
