That felt great, fellas! I’ll be back next week for another round.
Plot twist: this was never a torture device, it’s just a story of the inventor going “go on, admit it, it feels good, don’t it?” that got blown way out of proportion
A lot of dark ages torture devices are basically that, though. Plenty have no evidence of actual use and have a high probability of just being literary creations (like someone finding a SAW DVD in 2000 years)
Another torture was to force feed the guy with poop n piss until tummy is bloated. then jump on the stomach.
Stop by the torture museum in Amsterdam if you really want to see what a clusterfuck of a species we are
AFAIK many of the torture devices are not historical but were created for amusement, such as these museums.
Was it worse going in or coming out? Did they make them eat it again? Was there more than one recipient per fecal vessel?
This guy tortures.
The important questions
Wouldn’t you just vomit it up immediately?
Yes. Most “medieval torture history” stuff is just creative writing exercises that get handed down for generations.
The ring dinger!
Horrifying
amy doctors wanna chime in on this?
Those people started doing it becaus a ghost told a guy that the magical energy flows through the spine and every illness happens because the spine is misaligned and needs to be straighten. You don’t need a doctor to tell you the merit of all that
(This person is not making this up. This is really, actually the foundation of chiropracty. Don’t go to or support chiropractors. They are not doctors.)
There are some ok ones that are just physical therapists that can order imaging. My mom was sent to one for her hip and he just gave her exercises to do.
Physical therapists have a medical degree. Chiropractors go to a 6 week scam cult training camp.
Not a doctor but there’s no way that’s good.
There’s a good way of doing this and is by hand and applying uniform pressure to help people with contractures stretch.
None of that sudden intense pull where anything can go wrong.
Also not a doctor, but I remember reading, that those practices have paralyzed people - and I can believe that. Definitely not good.
The neck stuff they do increases risk of stroke. The whole chiropractic practice isn’t backed by medical research.
What do army doctors have to do with it
He said Amy but she’s out at the shops right now
try a different pronoun, buster
Tyranny is a woman?! Makes sense 😝
To be fair there’s nothing in their profile to suggest it and this is the Internet where gender is about as important as an ice cube in Antarctica
One of the rules of the internet is that there are no women on the internet.
They?
that’ll do for now
maybe they meant doctors named Amy?
I’ll take two
