time to buy such equipment

It's expensive AF, I'm sure. The food is a far easier avenue (less fun, but far smarter)

Depends on how much you get...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

It pays by itself. /s

[–] [email protected] 38 points 11 months ago

Well now I want to do it

Shitty ass snacks.

Endoscopy is through the mouth. That would be a colonoscopy.

Oh man... Good thing I'm not a doctor.

Well a colonoscope is actually an endoscope, just one meant for colonoscopies. Endoscope is just a generic term for the tool. (endo- = inside/within, -scope = tool for viewing)

And gastroscope is the type specifically for the esophagus and stomach.

The endoscopy scope and the colonoscopy scope are the same scope.

How do you tell the difference between an oral endoscope and a rectal scope? The taste.

You never go ass to mouth!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

If you can go from ass to mouth then your scope is too big.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

That's correct! I recognise the lasso that as the thing used to sample polyps in the colon (and probably a bunch of other uses, totally including snagging chippie packets).

Or, you know, at least clean it first.

You can just open them, all the ones at my Uni have tubular locks that can be opened as fast as using the key.

Is this picture from Canada, or do they sell Hawkins Cheezies anywhere else? They were my favourite snack as a kid, but I think they might only exist here in Canada?
