You're gonna hurt yourself that way more than anyone else, but yeah, I'm not fucking with anyone who does that. It begs the question of how deep the rabbit hole of crazy goes, and I'll pass on finding out. Nope.

    I'm not going to do it; I just realized that I could do it.

    Unlike some people around here, I have a little bit of self-control.

    Being able to decide when go puke and when not to sounds like you have a lot of self-control (much more than usual)

    Out-crazy the crazy does seem to be an effective strategy. Your sinuses are NOT going to be happy with you though.

    On that note, if you've ever puked and got any of that acid up your nose, you know how absolutely horrible that feels: you'll be pleased to know that you can almost completely block it from happening if you simply pinch your nose shut as the puke comes streaming out. By capping off the pressure at your nostrils, no fluid, be it air, snot, or stomach acid, will be able to travel from your oropharynx to your nasopharynx -- you basically wall off the blue zone:

    Downside being that you gotta actually remember this trick as your guts are about to spill, which isn't really a great time to call back on little lifehacks from the internet. If you happen to recall it in the stages leading up to go-time though, you're golden.

    Also be careful not to gasp for air between streams of vomit, or you might inhale some. You don't want stomach acid in your air way! Controlled, slow breaths.

    I literally cannot avoid vomiting through my nose (and mouth obviously) on the rare occasion it needs to happen. Because of this, I've been one of those people who fights it back for my entire life. I've never felt better after it, I always feel significantly worse. It's a loud, violent, terrible ordeal, and I'm a little jealous of the folks who can do it with ease.

    I've read about the nose pinch. I need to try it. Because, unfortunately, it ain't just stomach acid that ends up there. Really not great.

    Evolution happening right before our eyes. In a few generations ops offsprings will be well trained stomach acid fighters.

    Once you sneeze vomit through your nose you will realize that you have fucked up.

    Odd that you would say that.

    Many years ago, I realized that if I take a Vitamin B12 pill, well almost exactly 23 minutes later, I'll get like all the reflexes simultaneously.

    Burp, puke, hiccup, fart, sneeze (am I missing any?)

    All at once, simultaneously. The sensations would only last about 20 seconds, but those are 20 seconds of things I'd rather not experience, so I no longer take Vitamin B12...

    The European roller chick will vomit a foul-smelling orange liquid onto itself to deter a predator. The smell also warns the parents on their return to the nest.

    You could train the Absolute Batman version of Bruce Wayne to do this, because he had to use tools to achieve a similar effect.

    Ok. Now start designing an online course you can sell to self defence enthusiasts for $300. Do not waste this opportunity!
