This just kept getting sadder and sadder, RIP

Slam down on a chair or countertop if you are choking alone. Make sure you hit your diaphragm. It may save.

What might it save??? The suspension is killing me!

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

Save your game, then you can reload to before you died.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

At a point when you're already choking to death?

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Quicksave before every bite. EVERY BITE!

Nature will castigate those who don’t masticate!

Some cash, ambulance is expensive

And do it as hard as you can, you might only have 1 shot at it.

Thanks for the clear instruction.
Incidentally choking alone reads like some kind of euphemism.

It's wild to me that the Heimlich Maneuver wasn't invented until the 70s

[-] Kimano@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

And the guy who invented it didn't ever have to use it for decades afterwards, it was purely theoretical to him.

For those of you who thought, gee who else has…

Ray Ewry (USA) - A track and field athlete who competed in the early 20th century. Ewry is reported to have died in 1937 by choking on food.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It kind of makes a perverse sort of sense. As an athlete (at least of the cyclist sort), you need a huge amount of calories and you also are all about speed. Putting those two together is definitely a risk.

Did he take the jab? -Your one aunt on facebook

[-] jumjummy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

How incredibly sad. Reminds me of that one Six Feet Under episode beginning with an identical premise.
