FYI: Defibrillators don't start the heart, they stop it.

The heart doesn't stop in many heart attacks. Instead it just beats erratically and in a way that doesn't pump blood well. Shocking the heart to stop it (what a defib does) causes the nerve cells to "reboot" and start beating regularly again.

Shocking a victim who's heart has stopped is useless and automatic defibrillators won't go off until they've detected the arrhythmia.

Hearty restarty

It's essentially the "have you tried turning it off and back on again" of cardiology.

When I was a teenager my computer survived years of percussive maintenance. All I'm saying is, have doctors tried beating the shit out of their patients?

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

Mind blown! 🤯

[–] wurstgulasch3000@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

I blame House MD for this common misconception

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Yes, thank you, I'm glad you mentioned it here, it doesn't happen often enough. I mean, it's even in the name, right? Defibrillator gets rid of fibrillation - the erratic beating!

And hippos aren't buoyant.

Gun = Rootie Tootie Point and Shootie

[–] Amicitas@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Pointy Shootie

[–] tteok@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

I am literally reading this on my squatty potty (if you don't have one - BUY ONE)

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 44 points 3 days ago

can't believe they left out cruise missile: zoomy boomy

Beans = Farty Starties

Because they give you gas (pooty booty).

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And if they went bad, you get booty shooty (diarrhea).

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Beans, beans, the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot.

[–] wallybeavis@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Brazilian Waxing = Shiny Giny

The lol per pixel ratio of this meme was significantly above the mean

Erectile Dysfunction = Teenie Weenie

[–] Godort@lemm.ee 12 points 3 days ago

It's a travesty that they aren't called "Fuzzy Buzzies"

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 2 days ago

Pooper scooper -> Poopy Scoopy

[–] Seasm0ke@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I call noodles, long ass rice.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I am completely on board with this and suggest we amend all the dictionaries immediately.

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Huh, I thought defibrillators were for arrhythmias, but it's also for cardiac arrest.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yup, and it fucking sucks (better than dying though) to have one used on you.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

...now I want to try it. Which is probably unwise.

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Call of the void.

Yeah, id probably join you.

[–] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

It should be called Hearty Stoppy. That's what they do. Stop your heart so it can reboot in safe mode.

[–] OneCardboardBox@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 3 days ago

You can thank the US Army for that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCR-300

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

Perhaps my favorite meme ever

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago
[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Well it's that or the Action Comics method.

Alliteration for everyone!

[–] Hux@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

I can only read this in Paul McCartney’s voice…

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 days ago

Tractor trailers = big rigs.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Surely Stamps should be called Lickie-Stickie-Posties.

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Real object names.
