media, potential mild health squick
You know, it probably should have dawned on me that someone with a history of hypochondria shouldn't watch videos about massive organ failure BEFORE binging Chubbyemu's entire channel. :)
It was actually kinda cathartic, though. I _didn't_ actually go to that place at all, actually-- it's pretty easy to convince yourself you don't have, say, massive cirrhosis, or have somehow accidentally eaten a handful of Tide Pods without noticing. :p
Chubbyemu's videos are really good. DON'T GO. :O
media, potential mild health squick, poo
Just... listen, bodies are fragile and they break down for bizarre counterintuitive reasons. I love you all, so please please please don't do stupid shit with your body.
Also, um... don't strain yourself too hard when you take a poop. I'm actually fucking serious about this. It's apparently a real good way to pop a cerebral blood vessel. Just put down the Doritos and eat some goddamn fiber instead.

@zebratron2084 I was in 4H in high school, and did the sheep-raising thing, and as part of that whole educational process I found out about "prolapse" and, yeah. YEEAAAAHHHHH.
honestly, straining when pooping is *not* an issue for me--if anything, I have the opposite issue, and not much idea what I can do about it beyond learning to like the taste of canned pumpkin somehow. :P
