The proposed theory is the preparations the patient made for the colonoscopy may have allowed the ladybug to survive the digestive system.
Ah, a healthy gut fauna
Help how do I give Lemmy Gold
We do not do that here. We do NOT give monetized awards or bring trite rituals here. SPRAY SPRAY
Maybe it’s not really for the best, but I feel like it should be good to show support for the community that brought a comment. Maybe a (honor system) pledge to donate to the instance of the commentor or the instance of the poster?
That’s actually a quite cool idea.
then don’t think with money!
what if after we made 20 posts or 100 comments we could give one post/comment gold?
that’d be fun!
That encourages bot or otherwise low-effort comment spamming which we also don’t want.
It would only promote karma whoring. I mean, I’m bad enough already, do you guys actually want to incentivize me?
I’d incentivize Flying_Squid or SatansMaggotyCumFart, not you though.

Is this from South Park?
(Cue the Capt America I get that reference gif)
In the episode, “The Death Camp of Tolerance”, Mr. Garrison inserts Lemmiwinks into Mr. Slave’s anus with the hope that he’ll get fired. Lemmiwinks then travels through Mr. Slave’s digestive system to reach freedom.
Episode s06e14
If that ladybug makes it out, it’ll have one hell of a story to share with its fellow bugs.
Sounds like a great writing prompt actually.
Yeah it’d almost be like if a person got swallowed by a whale or something. Someone should write a book about it.
Don’t er have like digestive juices and bacteria to kill stuff exactly like this?
It entered from the back
… when?
When no one was looking.
That looks like more like an Asian Beetle than a typical Lady Bug. Those bastards will crawl into any crack or crevice they can squeeze themselves into to find a place to over-winter. They’re annoying, they smell like gross musty shit, and they will bite you given the opportunity.
So while this is the first time I’ve seen one in someone’s colon, I’m not completely shocked either. In fact, it’s kind of “on brand”.
That is one hardy mofo.
Before any sort of colonoscopy, they give you a days worth of liquid laxatives that you need to drink and you will spend the better part of the day before your procedure shitting what feels like a grown man worth of shit.
Only then will the colon look as clean as it does in the picture.
That damn bug survived all that. Either that or he climbed in a nice clean colon after all the shit was evacuated.
Here’s the thing
It’s a jackdaw bug???
