    and that kids, is not how you treat iron deficiency.

      Fun fact: people in Brazil used to cook black beans with an iron nail inside the pot to threat anemia and iron deficiency. They removed the nail, in case someone is wondering. Some people might still do it.

      Another fun fact: I remember a research concluding that it’s actually effective.

        I guess it’s similar to cooking in cast iron - it’s effective, just not a be-all-end-all solution.

        There are products available that are meant for exactly this purpose, without being nail-shaped. It emulates the effects of cooking in a cast iron vessel. Seems pretty neat.

        Liver is an excellent source of iron, for the animic people

      Hmm, would you consider this an iron overdose instead?

      Requires medical attention and all ;)

        Metallic iron isn’t very bioavailable

      It’s almost certainly an extreme case of Pica, accumulated over an extended period of time.

        Either that or he was convinced he was some kind of magical guru godman, impressing people and gaining a following with ‘impossible’ feats that he can perform thanks to his spiritual enlightenment.

        That’s as common, if not more common than preachers in America that run prosperity gospel scams, or believe that they are modern day prophets, talking directly to or for God, or both.

    I think last year I saw this story of someone going to an MRI with a buttplug which then “transformed into an anal railgun”

      I think it waa more like “personal heater” I’m not sure.

      But I remember seeing that yeah.

      Oh no yeah you’re right, “dragged through her body”

      news.com.au/…/d7ac723f64f339fbab031e6cbe4cbeef

      Apparently she thought it was 100% silicone but it actually has a metal core. Even if the package on her toy had mentioned it (doubtful but probable) who reads those.

      So she’s not as big of an idiot as one could think.

    when I was a kid, I ate an L shaped nail.

    it came out straight.

    it had dissolved into a rusty spot the next day.

    am I a superhuman? no, because apparently gluten is worse for me than nails…

    • IzzyScissor@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Did it really dissolve into rust, or did your parents secretly throw away your poop nail in the middle of the night?
