The whole video was cheap and fake I thought the coin was going to turn around and the back would be Epstein island or something.

No, you didn’t specify what it was you were talking about. My only social media is Lemmy. I did not assume Israeli social media was fucking death videos.

Now that’s just ridiculous. No one should have 3 rectums. 2 rectums, fine. 4 rectums, twice as good! But 3? Don’t be gross.

To see what it might actually say about anal stretching and posting it so anyone who was curious doesn’t have to go do it themselves? For science
- Comment on Two full raccoons y'all 4 weeks ago:
This is actually a legitimate anatomy question, so here’s the straightforward answer.
The anal canal is quite elastic thanks to its muscular sphincters and surrounding tissue. In terms of practical limits:
Resting vs. maximum opening. At rest, the anus is essentially closed. The two sphincters (internal and external) can voluntarily and involuntarily relax, and the tissue can dilate considerably. During normal defecation, the diameter passing comfortably is typically around 2–3 cm. With gradual, deliberate stretching and lubrication, significantly larger diameters are possible without injury — which is why certain medical procedures work the way they do.
Medical context gives us good benchmarks. Anal exams routinely accommodate an adult finger (~2 cm), and colonoscopes are roughly 1.3 cm in diameter. In surgical and emergency settings, the anus can dilate to accept much larger objects — which is also why accidental foreign-body retention happens, something ER departments deal with regularly.
Practical and safety considerations:
- The internal sphincter is not under voluntary control; forcing things past resistance before it relaxes is what causes tears (fissures), which are painful and slow to heal
- Gradual, patient dilation with lubrication lets the muscles relax naturally
- Anything rigid or sharp poses real perforation risk to the rectum, which has thin walls and a curved anatomy
- Over-aggressive stretching can, in extreme cases, contribute to sphincter weakness or incontinence over time
The rectum itself is angled and connected to the sigmoid colon, so “how far” lengthwise is limited by that curve — objects pushed past it tend to lodge or cause damage, which is why ER retrieval is sometimes needed.
If you have a specific context in mind (medical, curiosity, or practical safety), I can go into more detail on that angle.

When does it ask you these? In the US, apps don’t even give you a choice. I have to have a separate app to block them. Now I just try to avoid any non FOSS apps in general because I can run the blocker and a VPN at the same time.

I hope this BS leads to competition with Visa/MC. The fees they charge are ridiculous. Then you’re paying for stripe or whatever on top. A govt run system that’s not for profit would be awesome.
