ok, so it’s not really breathing through the butt, rather it’s actually an oxygenated enema. as weird as it sounds, I wonder if this would help people who get sick with things like COVID and for whom respirators are no longer working.
If only they had made this research before they made the Abyss, that could have been a more interesting concept…
As previously reported, this is perhaps one of the more unusual research developments to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated shortages of ventilators and artificial lungs to assist patients’ breathing and prevent respiratory failure.
I know the article mentions that, but it hasn’t actually been used to attempt to save the life of any human, with any condition. While it’s promising so far, controlled experiments in a lab are not the same as practical use in a real medical emergency.
Hence why I wonder if it will work.
It’s still fairly new research. I think the authors recently won an Ignoble prize for it
Also maybe helpful for people with traumatic chest injuries that make it difficult, painful, or internally harmful to breathe normally.
Boofing O2 😏

Help he’s dying, someone give him mouth to ass!
Never thought I’d see the day where the term “butt breath” wasn’t an insult
Butt breathing, third form…
When will they cover this in Demon Slayer?
I can’t wait for lungs to become a premium feature! Oh boy! Isn’t that great?
Spread your buttcheeks everyone! Let that smog in!
Very strange thing to learn.
What if one has to fart
It reverses course and becomes the most foul burp you’ve ever had
Usually only occurs in young children, but, you can be so constipated that you vomit feces.
Sorry for ruining your day.
I’m a nurse homie. I’m very aware of a lot of the gross things bodies are capable of
ETA: feces smelling burps are a sign of an intestinal blockage, we really appreciate you sharing that with us early in the hospital before your bowels perforate
I was working in a hospital once when a guy with a severe internal gastric bleed threw up feces and ‘coffee ground emesis’
Very gross.
