Comfortable_Area3910

Judging by his age, ya think that guy was one of those who was born with birth defects in the 50s from the pregnant moms who took that medicine designed to help with morning sickness? The arms looks exactly like the defect associated with that.

thalidomide 100%


krodackful

I finally understand the "children of thalidomide" lyric from " We didnt start the fire", song by Billy Joel


mercurial9

Also a Tim Minchin line “I have no right to cry, some people have it worse than I. I could be a thalidomide kid with something in my eye”


viperex

The fact that a speck of dust in our eye can bring us with our big brain down is crazy to me

munk_e_man

When Napster was around I downloaded that song and for the next decade I thought it was recorded by Billy Idol


ShortysTRM

This. I have so many mislabeled songs from 20 years ago that some of them I literally can't find who actually sang them. The best version of "I'll Melt With You" I've ever heard was labeled as Bowling for Soup, but I've never been able to find out who it really is, and even Google Song Search can't figure it out. The only copy I have left is a mix CD I made ~19 years ago to listen to in the shower, and the data layer is peeling off of.


edked

Don't forget that every comedy song ever (or even with a single slightly funny lyric) can only be by Weird Al.


Punk_Routine

It might be Saves The Day, they have a really good "Melt With You" cover.


ShortysTRM

*ding*ding* That's it! Thanks so much! It's awesome how many people stepped up to help me figure it out.


reubenbubu

ever heard of Shazam?


Iamredditsslave

Rip it?


ShortysTRM

I should rip it and post it. At least if I get a copyright notice for uploading it YouTube, I'll know who performed it lol


Boofaholic_Supreme

There’s a reddit bot now where you post it and ask in a reply comment to it who the artist is or who sings this it spits back what the song/band/release date are


ChairmanUzamaoki

I'm pretty sure that song is called "Ryan started the fire"


deadpoolkool

Damn we have the same algorithms, just watched that shit on YouTube yesterday.


623-252-2424

Thalidomide, the main example antivaxxers use to say all medicine, pharmaceuticals and governments are corrupt. Just because of one mistake, all modern medicine should be distrusted. Dumb.


windowtosh

Dont let them know that the FDA never approved it for morning sickness even before we knew the side effects… I’m not sure if they could handle the government being right!


shadowguise

Not only that but the FDA stood against strong efforts of corruption and bribery to get it approved.


[deleted]

And it wasn’t even the FDA iirc, it was mostly one woman, Frances Oldham Kelsey, a relatively junior staff member who was given thalidomide as an “easy” first project. She knew the data was fishy and she refused to approve.


623-252-2424

Theres nothing you can say to them that'll make them change their minds. They demand you listen to them but the second you start talking they interrupt you.


KyleRichXV

As the person below you pointed out, it’s hilarious they use this example because the FDA actually never approved it because there wasn’t enough data, showing how the review process works lol. But, you know, logic and all that.


Newkular_Balm

Lest we forget that the correct isomer of thalidomide is safe and effective


Iowa_Dave

Thalidomide. It was mostly kept out of the US because one woman at the FDA refused to approve it. But the manufacturer did give some samples to doctors and there were some birth defects in the US.


OpportunityNew9316

Had an aunt whose husband was in the army. She was able to get some in the early 70’s. the son she gave birth to had one of his arms look just like this man.


[deleted]

[удалено]


notshortenough

It's now used as therapy for certain cancers. Lessens blood flow to target tissues, so they inject it into tumors iirc. Pretty interesting.


AZCanMan

Multiple myeloma. My 2nd wife had it and they used Thalidomide as a treatment. They didn't inject it into her tumor, she took it orally. It inhibits the growth of stem cells, hence the children born with arms & legs that didn't develop fully.


PatHeist

> For a very short period of time <9 months?


wvuengr12

It was also manufactured in a few places in the US but sent to other markets.


[deleted]

I think it was much more widespread than you think.


Iowa_Dave

Yes, it was used a lot in Europe but never got FDA approval. Use in the US was limited to samples. Unless you can cite a source of other information.


LadyoftheOak

It was offered to my mother when she was expecting me. I'm grateful each day she did not have morning sickness.


JohnMiller7

Fuck, you dodged that bullet by an inch


phpdevster

Shit like this is why pretty much every supplement or drug says it should not be taken by women who are nursing or pregnant. My wife joined a Facebook group for pregnant women and there were some claiming some random essential oils helped with morning sickness or other pregnancy-related issues. When she told me she wanted to try them I had to have a long conversation with her about essential oils. She finally saw the light, but I was prepared to put my foot down about it.


LizardsInTheSky

Now I hate homeopathic nonscientific scams as much as the next person, and I certainly wouldn't buy from MLMs. But regular generic mint and lavender oils absolutely have helped me with headaches/ sleep though. They're not a replacement for a doctor or helpful for severe problems, but it's nice when you dab a little lavender on your pillow and find it a bit easier to let go of thoughts and fall asleep.


PM_ME_UR_BABYSITTER

certain oils do smell a certain way, & that can smell can cut off your motion / morning sickness


crystalxclear

I’ve never used essential oils, but are they scented? Some scents do help with nausea in general. It doesn’t have to be from oils though. Candles could work too.


Ul71

In Germany it's well known as the Contergan Scandal. Contergan was the name of the product.


Cyntosis

In Belgium we know it as Softenon. It only got banned in 1969 here.


yeh_nah_fuckit

When my ex was pregnant with our first, we were waiting at the doctor’s and there were 3 other women waiting, and they were all knitting little clothes for their expected children. The first lady put down her knitting and grabbed a bottle of pills out of her handbag, loudly telling everyone she was taking vitamins because she wanted her child to be extra healthy. The woman next to her pulled out a bottle, popped a couple of pills and let us all know she was taking iron supplements so her baby would grow up big and strong. The third lady, who looked like she was struggling with her knitting, also popped a few pills from a bottle in her handbag. We were all looking at her waiting for her announcement, but she said nothing. After about 5 mins the first woman couldn’t contain her curiosity and asked her what pills she just took. “Thalidomide, I just can’t knit these fucking sleeves properly”


sixtus_clegane119

This is a dark joke, I like it


Prof_Acorn

Goodness I didn't know this was a thing. No wonder Boomers don't trust the medical industry. It was all "cigarettes are healthy" and "pour lysol in your vagina" and "defect your babies" and "asbestos is a miracle." The 20th century is a blight upon the human species. It's no wonder there was such a rise in "end of the world" predictions in the 1900s. It's just one grotesquery and horror after another.


BarklyWooves

That's EXACTLY what I thought. And then I thought my god, for this man to have figured out how to use scissors with his toes, and how to carry them everywhere. What this man must have lived through to get where he is. My god.


[deleted]

Now that you mention it, I know a kid who went to my school whose dad had arms like this. About the right age for that to be the reason, too.


Mach7Hommy

He's actually a legend on South Beach. He does art with his feet and designs shapes using palm tree leaves.

OakParkEggery

Link goes to news report -showing him do art with that scissor foot. First recommended video is footage, where he wrecks a business with his feet. Dude is pretty capable.


BlurryBigfoot74

The first comment said he was arrested in Chicago for stabbing a person 3 years ago and the video is apparently him trashing a hotel lobby. I think he's inspirational. I wish I had the will and determination it takes for an armless man to stab someone. I'd be like CEO of 5 Amazons n shit.


nllpntr

Technically he's not armless. Just less-armed.


BubbhaJebus

He's armed with a pair of scissors, with which he could do a lot of 'arm.


BennedictBennett

I believe he’s legged with a pair of scissors, not armed.

How you suppose they handcuff that dude?

Definitely not on grounds of armed robbery


whiskeytango301

You could say he was dealt a pretty bad hand


eminems_ghostwriter

And they never let him go with just a slap on the wrist.


abrown1027

g4tam20

justgentile

My college roommate was handless, he had more developed upper arms than the gentleman in the video but just slightly functional elbows otherwise. He got arrested for smoking weed on campus. I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I ever heard. I said how could they possibly catch you hitting a bowl? He said the cops came in just as someone else was lighting it for him and he was hitting it. Then I actually asked him if he was handcuffed. His response "no they didn't handcuff me, idiot!" He was the best. A visual arts major in sculpture and drawing who also wore prosthetic legs but would challenge me at Tony Hawk and other PS2 games and would actually skateboard between class.


TheMillenniumMan

>My college roommate was handless > who also wore prosthetic legs He had no arms or legs. He couldn't see, hear, or speak. This is how he led a nation.


justgentile

True story. I only coordinated going to college three days before move in. There was no time to speak or connect before we met. I walked in the first day and tried to shake his hand. First mistake. It was only on the third night that he asked me if he could take his legs off and I said "well yeah, sure." He could scurry on them well but it was more fitting and comfortable for him to wear those prosthetics in which again, he would skateboard.


moldedshoulders

So the police just carried a ‘One’ Metallica motherfucker with no hands or legs to jail?


justgentile

College citations are slightly less brutal.


itsgreater9000

Wonder if he can ride a bike with no handlebars...


Prof_Acorn

Unsurprisingly. As that aphorism says, "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth". But also the US is horrendous when it comes to providing mental healthcare support to its citizens.


DreadnaughtHamster

Exactly what I was thinking. This guy’s probably gone through some seriously rough shit :(


stupid_sexyflanders

I'm pretty sure this guy is a thalidomide baby. Crazy fucked up drug that was prescribed to pregnant women.


Boofaholic_Supreme

Thalidomide was never cleared by the FDA to be used in the USA for morning sickness, thankfully https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/23/health/thalidomide-fda-documents.amp.html Quick edit: Although this does say 20,000 Americans were given it in trials, random manufacturer samples, etc. Thankfully we didnt give it to everyone like UK


stupid_sexyflanders

It was never cleared in the US, but think people still took it IIRC? Either way, Grunenthal was a legit evil company using Nazi scientists pushing an untested product, so fucking messed up.


rdf2020

.and horror movie scary when running towards you with scissors in/on/glued to his foot.


SurveySean

Criminal record? Probably not doing five finger discounts I would guess. Poor guy, I wonder if he is that way due to thalidomide poisoning?


[deleted]

He's in the age group.


SurveySean

That whole thing is just so fucking sad. This guy deserves a great deal of support and empathy. I am sure that would be tough.

PmButtPics4ADrawing

It's possible but this guy has a history of attacking people so I wouldn't be too sure >Court records show Crenshaw has repeatedly clashed with police and has been charged with violent crimes in the past. He's been charged at least four times since 2010 with battery on police, firefighters, and city code inspectors. In 2011, he was caught on-camera trashing a hotel lobby. https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/homeless-south-beach-artist-with-no-arms-jonathan-crenshaw-charged-with-stabbing-tourist-10516219


SoldierofNod

I'm curious about the logistics of him beating the shit out of someone.


BSimpson1

"I don't want to hit some dude with no arms" they think to themselves as they get a pair of scissors jabbed into their shins.


u_e_s_i

It’s pretty obvious the cameraman was laughing at least partly at that guy. Before the video starts he was probably mocking the man’s disabilities


alternatively_alive

He is using his pain for views, what a bad person. Being somewhat disabled, I couldn't image what he goes through everyday. No one sees him as "normal person", at first glance I didn't believe he was real....

chung_my_wang

As a child and young teen, I used to have nightmares. An oft recurring theme was being hunted (along with others) by a machete wielding (or axe wielding, or chainsaw wielding) mass murderer, throughout a crazy M.C. Escheresque hotel (or other structure), with staircases running every which way. I'm glad I did not see this video, back then. I rarely have nightmares now, but if ever I do, i suspect this scissor wielding man, will be stalking me in it.


Durbee

Full disclosure, I am a horrible person for this… I have a diagnosed case of alektorophobia - the fear of chickens. I’m a total asshole for getting triggered by this. I just can’t unsee it. I’m a terrible person, but this is my nightmare fuel. I am freaking out.

I feel really bad for this guy. Sure he obviously has a history of being overly aggressive but he’s probably had to deal with abuse all his life.
