This should make you even more aware of how remarkable the human body is, that each of those teeth has a particular place to be, and they mostly end up in the proper place. (Yes, all living things are remarkable.)

And is this safe?

Ok I really want to try this now but I don't have any garlic. Any pandas out there willing to make the sacrifice in the name of science?

Props to the guy who swallowed the razor blade so we could know this

As a brain, I am dissapointed in my bike.

Some even run for president!

Double checked this, because of course there's no source. It's true. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/strange-but-true-males-can-lactate/

Brings another meaning to, “I will always be a part of you”

how exactly did we find out this information...?

I knew this! There was a super famous saxophone player a few years back that had to get brain surgery or something and the surgeons had him play his saxophone during the procedure so they knew they didn't mess up.

I have no doubt whatsoever that it was neither proposed nor invented by a woman.

Idk, I kinda feel like hyenas have it worse

My uterus contracted after reading this

I forgot that this was the original use for chainsaws.

This process is known as SYMPHYSIOTOMY and for many years, sawing through pubic ligaments/cartilage and, more rarely bone, was used in Ireland as an alternative to Caesarean. Over 1,500 women in Ireland between 1944 and 1987 were given this torment without their informed consent. The procedure will leave you unable to walk, pee, poo, or give birth again, depending. It doesn't use a chainsaw. Just a medical bone saw. Also, this torture was first advocated (by a man) in 1597. Rather than call a midwife to turn a breech baby or similar, the man just got to sawing.l.. without care for consequences for the woman. It's been used across Europe and Africa, and people as recently as the 2010s still advocated for its use over caesarean section. Source: WHO, UN Committe Against Torture, and Irish Examiner. (My ucnle by marriage is born Ireland, his aunt had one done, so that's how I heard about it)

And men bit*h about getting a vasectomy

What makes it worse is making women lay down just so the Dr. can see what's going on. Sitting, squatting makes it safer, quicker and less risky for tears and hemorrhaging. Imagine being constipated and having to squeeze out poop laying down and pushing way too hard.

But was it less painful?

Chainsaws? 1780?

omg. These "facts" are ridiculous half truths!

I'll pass

Well yeah, but it wasn't the kind of chainsaw in the picture. It was a manual one.

They also have hand chain saws for medical use, essentially a serrated chain with handholds at the ends.

Got the year wrong: The first chainsaw was designed by German orthopaedist Bernhard Heine in 1830. He called it the osteotome, from the Greek osteo (bone) and tome or tomi (cut); literally, the bonecutter.

I actually had to read it twice to be sure I read what I read.

So they're saying that using a chainsaw to saw off part of the pelvic bone is a less painful delivery?

Chainsaw wasn't invented until 1830

They had chainsaws operated by gas or electricity back then? Nope.

Since women are the ones that give birth, can we just leave all of these birth tools and new ways to give birth up to women to decide? I dont want my pelvis sawed in half :/

1830 not 1780 and it was just a small handheld instrument that was cranked by hand
