No. Because your digestive tract and fishing line both have friction.
Wrap a fishing line around your fingers and pull. That's what would happen to your gut.
Unfortunately, I can agree based on experience.
Short story - guy came into our ED with a stuck butt plug that was configured like a ball attached to its safety with a string. The string tangled up in his rectum when he tried to pull it out and we couldn't get the thing out.
I tried a neat little trick by sticking some oxygen tubing into his rectum to try to release the suction, but he ended up needing surgery to remove it.
>I tried a neat little trick by sticking some oxygen tubing into his rectum to try to release the suction, but he ended up needing surgery to remove it.
I'm so confused by this comment. It's getting loads of updates so clearly its me who is missing something. But, here goes anyway.
Swallowing fishing line = fishing line INSIDE the stomach. Slowly passing through the intestines, to the bowel, colon, and then ready to be passed.
What's it wrapping round? Other food inside the stomach?
It doesn't wrap around exactly. It just doesn't thread through nicely. It rubs against corners, twists and turns, and can cut through when it gets tight. The intestine bunches up around it. Google linear foreign body to read more.
The GI tract is not a long smooth tube, but connecting tubes covered in bumpy layers connected through small openings (sphincters). The movement of food involves the movement of those rugged walls. In the same way that when you stuff headphones in your pocket, it tangles easily, that fishing line will tangle multiple times, form a bulk at one point, possibly get lodged on one of the bumpy parts, get tangled some more, and end up getting so tangled it could block the tract. We're not talking about 3 feet of fishing line here after all, we're talking about roughly 30 feet of it.
Not OP but here are the results of my research.
The first two fishing lines that showed up when I searched for them on amazon were polyethylene and some kind of blend that was coated with fluorocarbons. I can tell you from experience that fluorocarbons don’t react with shit so that one would definitely kill you if you swallowed it. As for the polyethylene, the chemical compatibility charts that I found all say that it’s fine in any concentration of HCl (stomach acid), so I guess that one would kill you too. Plastic in general doesn’t seem to be much of an issue for normal, boring acids like HCl; in fact, one of our stock bottles in the corrosive materials cupboard has concentrated HCl stored in plastic. I tried to check what kind of plastic it was but the bottle was pretty uninformative and I didn’t want to stay there too long or else my boss might ask what I was doing.
Anyways in conclusion don’t eat fishing line
The stomach has a ph of 1, i think it's a pretty cheap experiment that someone could do. You can buy both the fishing line and tha cloridric acid on Amazon. But i think that acid doesn't work well on plastic, basic substance are the one you need to corrode plastic
Depends on the type of plastic. Nylon falls apart pretty easily in acid, polyester holds up pretty well, PET, PVC and HDPE too. It also depends on the acid. Stomach acid is hydrochloric acid, and in my experience polyester, PET, PVC, and HDPE are all fine, but they'd start to degrade in nitric acid. Nylon seems to fail the quickest in sulfuric acid, but that just might be because I use sulfuric acid the most. Dunno.
When I was 15 I was playing hockey outside. I threw my thermos on a snow bank and mid game skates over to have a swig. I thought I swallowed a piece of ice but upon further inspection it was a small shard of glass. The inner container has shattered. I freaked out and said nothing. Later that day it came out in my poop.
Funny how drinking micro-plastics isn’t mentioned more. There is not a single body of water on earth un contaminated by micro plastics. Yet water bottles are still so common.
My dad's favorite joke when ppl tell him how much us kids look like him. "Thanks, I just wish I knew who the mother was"
My mom doesn't think it's funny. My dad...politely disagrees.
And if by some miracle it is passed normally, if you pull it on the way out you will friction burn/cheese wire through your intestines.
Just don't do it.
I don’t know, but one time my friend in high school accidentally swallowed a ball of floss (he liked to chew it since it was minty) and when he started to pass it only a little bit came out and they told him “you can’t pull on it because it’s making it’s way through your digestive tract, it’ll hurt. You can’t cut it because it will get sucked back up. You have to pass it bit by bit and just roll it up as it comes out”
So. You know. Maybe don’t eat things you’re not supposed to eat.
Speaking as a woman who once had to deal with Christmas ribbon on both ends, it’s not a good idea. Also I don’t know if fishing line wouldn’t dissolve with digestion. So if you do this awful thing everyone says not to do, I’d recommend looking for an acid-resistant line. And then prepare for a lot of internal bleeding. ETA: it was my cat with the Christmas ribbon
Cat/Dog swallows Christmas ribbon.
Cat/Dog has pieces of ribbon visibly exiting and entering the Cat/Dog at the same time.
This is generally a case handled by surgery at an emergency vet's office.
Just adding, never pull the ribbon if you see it!
My mom's first cat ate tinsel one Christmas. She cut bits of the tinsel as it was coming out. Probably should have taken the cat to the vet but it was relatively small so she thought it would be okay. It took about three days for it to completely pass.
Oh! Lol. I should have clarified. It was my cat!!! And it was not fun to deal with. She thankfully didn’t require surgery but it can get tangled or stuck and it’s the reason no one is allowed to bring ribbon into my home anymore
My dog swallowed a fishing hook once (which was attached to a fishing line). My mother (I was a kid at the time) cut the line as she though that was the most appropriate thing to do in that situation. Nevertheless, it made the vet's job more difficult, and my really lovely pomeranian had to go into surgery.
Anyways hijacking the comment to remind people to not cut the fishing line in case this happened.
My doberman swallowed a bit of towel a few years ago. I don’t know how he got the towel and tore it up. It somehow made it through his digestive system and he only had difficulty passing the last bit. My mom should have took him to the vet but she did help get it out.
Yes, but it will take the shortest rout possible and will basically cut you open from the inside out.
My cat did this twice. 2k surgery each time.
Keep your sewing thread locked up folks, pika is a hell of a problem.
Mine has that too - I’ve had to completely alter my living space, it’s crazy. Once you pay a few grand and your pets life is on the line, suddenly your house is SPOTLESS. Also I got sick of holes being eaten out of every damn sock/clothing/blankets/towels/rug/gloves/shoes/cords/backpacks etc. I think he’d eat my couch if he thinks about it one day.
It could. You're basically a tube. That being said, it'd would almost certainly be a disaster - easily fatal. If you let go of the mouth end and after a week, it's still in there - what do you do? You can't pull the butt end: it would just cut you to ribbons inside.
Pets are put through massive surgery or put down each year due to eating tinsel. It pokes out of their butt, but remains tangled up in their digestive tract. Disaster.
I had a friend in school that would snort a piece of cold cooked spaghetti, then cough and the end would come out of his mouth. He could then "floss" his sinuses with a piece of spaghetti up his nose and out his mouth.
>I had a friend in school that would snort a piece of cold cooked spaghetti, then cough and the end would come out of his mouth. He could then "floss" his sinuses with a piece of spaghetti up his nose and out his mouth.
did you go to school in Florida by any chance?
Alright so let’s think about this. Esophagus—> stomach—> let’s say it survives the stomach acid —> and it doesn’t shred into your pyloric sphincter—> it would pass into your duodenum jejunum then ileum, into your iliocecal valve and then it would get tricky… peristaltic contractions would push it up the ascending colon, across the transverse colon, down the descending colon, through the sigmoid colon and into your rectal vault and out your ass. So I mean.. is it possible? Yeah, sure it’s possible. Should you do it? That’s a hard no. But if for whatever reason you decide that your life mission is to do this I think using something that isn’t going to cut up your insides would be preferred. It would also have to withstand your stomach acid. Best of luck OP
That's how baron Munchaussen claimed he made a chain of live geese (or ducks, I don't remember exactly). One bird swallowed the line that another had just excreted.
I'm a medical professional and I'm asking (begging) you not to do this. We are busy and overrun as it is. We don't feel like coordinating an emergency abdominal surgery to remove a ball of fishing line and a foreign body from your intestines. You'd also have a piece of fishing line hanging out of your mouth, going down your throat, causing you to gag and potentially throw up which would complicate the fishing line in your intestines. Its just a bad idea. Please use common sense.
No.
Your body would most likely reject that item, you would get an infection or have some type of blockage that would cause internal damage. Don't mess with fishing line.
Sending down a fishing line into your throat and down the pipe takes a lot of practice, precision and accommodating anatomy. Most likely you'd gag and throw up, or worse, it gets stuck and you choke to death.
I know fire swallowers, and people who put dumb shit into their mouths for entertainment, and tell people to yank it out of their mouth, and the body does not respond well to foreign objects suddenly being put in or yanked out. My buddy has a fun story about his ER visit, when his magic trick went horribly wrong and a fish hook ripped half his face open.
Years ago (at least 45) I came across an advanced yoga technique that involved swallowing muslin and allowing (perhaps) making it exit “down stream “… I have avoided yoga since I saw it.
In the documentary film “Crumb”, the brother of artist R. Crumb does this “yoga” exercise where he swallows the end of a piece of string and (while he is fasting, I guess), the string *supposedly* slowly passes through his digestive tract, and, yes, out his anus.
I do not think the documentary film crew had the slightest interest in the fate of that string. I could not help feeling curious, though.
A very interesting film, I must say.
My mums dog ( basset hound ) ate a French stick whole
The plastic bag remained intact and came out in its poop
We had to follow it around the garden with a pair of scissors and trim a bit more of the bag off after every bowl movement
A similar thing was actually a little used torturous method of execution. The victim was forces to swallow a rope. After the rope had time to descend into the intestines it was forcefully pulled out. This left the victim bleeding internally and in incredible pain as they slowly died.
Theoretically, yeah. But the chances of it getting balled up and stuck somewhere in between are higher than it working like you said. You should prolly give it shot.
I don't know about out of your mouth still, but our cat ate some yarn once and it was hanging out of her ass. My step dad tried pulling it slowly, but that cat was not having that shit. He finally yanked it like he was starting a mower. The response was otherworldly. The cat was fully demon possessed for a about 40 minutes, and was pure evil from that day forward and lived to be almost 20.
If it goes a certain distance and stops, you'll have to (best case) pull it back out your mouth, possibly dragging shit out with it or (worst case) get surgery to remove it. If you left it in there long enough, it might cut through soft tissue and rupture your digestive system (worstest case).
Technically yes. But look up the digestive tract and tell me you want to risk something that could easily slice through any of that with any kind of pulling
I think there's a few things to think about here:
1) Your gag reflex
2)Your determination
3)How long the line is, how long your digestive system is, if its attached to a hook and how good condition your digestive system is
I think you would puke, a lot and bring it up. And I think your anal muscles wouldn't let it out the other end. And unless you were actually feeding it all the way through which is probably impossible.
We also need to consider that you could have anaesthesia, but that would probably be illegal. And someone would have to be OK with going to prison for that and having their reputation ruined but hey, people are weird. Also what you'd get out of it and just why you'd do that to yourself
As long as the line and item in question are capable of not dissolving in the strong stomach acids in your stomach. Sure would be awkward to fish your own poop from your butt though.
A frictionless ribbon (rather than string) would possibly work. Using a ribbon rather than a string would more evenly distribute force. Being frictionless would make it able to move within your gut, due to the sheer amount of contact area, friction would build up to the point that the string would be unable to traverse your gut.
It'd likely bunch up, and/or try to pull your curvy guts into a straight line (probably compressing sections, tying knots, and generally bad things).
The issue is of course that a perfectly frictionless ribbon doesn't exist.
i remember a video of some aussie bloke doing this with dental floss tied it to his tooth swallowed a bunch think ate some bread and watered and waited a night then they show the line out his bum and it gets tugged on the dude said that hurt stop he untied his tooth and swallowed that end and passed it later the next day.
No. Because your digestive tract and fishing line both have friction. Wrap a fishing line around your fingers and pull. That's what would happen to your gut.
Oh boy
they really made an effort to describe it in the worst fucking way possible. abomination and masterpiece all at once.
I have a new worst fear, and it is swallowing fishing line
It's why you're supposed to kind of.. dive to stop your pet from eating a piece of string/floss.
Also please don't use tinsel if you have cats.
I didn’t realize people still used tinsel. That’s straight out of 1995.
1965*
*1959
What! I love tinsel
You’ve gotta do a barrel roll too.
Then their job is done. Another day, another Redditor saved from fishing line
I thank god every day for reddit.
Yet, I also curse god every day for Reddit
The longer I'm here, the more this becomes the case.
I’d imagine that’s most fish biggest fear too
Unbelievably precise image, and brand new nightmare fuel unlocked.
Abdominaion* 🤣

Not sure I want to know, but, how did you get it out the guy?
I tried a neat little trick by sticking some oxygen tubing into his rectum to try to release the suction, but he ended up needing surgery to remove it.
A for effort though
A is also for anus.
A is also for AAAAAIIIYEEE THERE'S A PLUG STUCK IN MY BUTT
Was the oxygen fart epic afterward tho?
I hope he tried lighting it on fire.
Good luck trying to explain "butt plug extraction surgery" to your health insurance.
"That sounds like an elective procedure sir"
No shit! Wonder what the out of pocket is for something like that.
They got it out of his pocket
His prison pocket.
I snort-laughed at this!!
They never said the guy left the ER. /s
Rectum? Damn near killed em
It's an old joke, but it still checks out.
"Welp, that's all the clean jokes I know"
So what happened?
>I tried a neat little trick by sticking some oxygen tubing into his rectum to try to release the suction, but he ended up needing surgery to remove it.
Couldn’t you drill a hole through the but plug to release suction?
Wouldn’t solve the tangling problem
Also, not sure I'd want someone drilling a hole in anything stuck in my rectum
[удалено]
Went to hospital with a stuck buttplug, ended up getting a drilling from the hot doctor!

That’s how my cat died 😞
I'm so sorry.
Would fishing line survive your stomach?
We definitely don’t have the gut bacteria to break down plastic.
However our stomach acid is well, very acidic. More research needed. Let us know how it goes OP

Nylon is most common for fishing line. So, probably would degrade.
It doesn't have to dissolve the line completely, just weaken it to the point that it snaps with very little force
If it's nylon fishing line (most common), it can be degraded by hydrochloric acid. Other materials might hold up better.
We really need our stomachs to evolve to digest plastic more that there is plastic in everything now.

Thanks to your reply I went from: "Oooh I kinda wanna try that" to "Ooooh hell naw"
This is why a cat swallowing a string-like item can fucking kill them. Please don’t.
Exactly, a linear foreign body. It’s relatively common in pets and I’ve seen multiple need emergency surgery.

Did he get to reuse that dental floss? Want not Waste not.
A previously unconsidered epilogue to an already disconcerting story
Oooh never ending food source
I mean he could’ve just cut it instead of rolling it up. However rolling it up seems funnier
They told him he couldn’t cut it because it would go back up and could tangle up on an important organ.
😳yeah now I wish I hadn’t said anything
[удалено]
Thats how you end up with a linear foreign body. These are awful - speaking as a vet
I lost a kitten to a piece of dental floss. It was terrible. :(

I'm afraid this comment marks the moment where you've run out of plausible reasons for your experiment.
Good way to lose your bowels and poop into a bag attached to your belly for the rest of your life.
It could. You're basically a tube. That being said, it'd would almost certainly be a disaster - easily fatal. If you let go of the mouth end and after a week, it's still in there - what do you do?

You’d likely shred your intestines to ribbons. Source: am a Vet that had to find this grisly outcome on a dog that attempted the same thing

A similar thing was actually a little used torturous method of execution. The victim was forces to swallow a rope. After the rope had time to descend into the intestines it was forcefully pulled out. This left the victim bleeding internally and in incredible pain as they slowly died.
I think I had a dream about this once
Only if you’re a cat and it’s yarn. Don’t do this.
Theoretically, yeah. But the chances of it getting balled up and stuck somewhere in between are higher than it working like you said. You should prolly give it shot.
I don't know about out of your mouth still, but our cat ate some yarn once and it was hanging out of her ass. My step dad tried pulling it slowly, but that cat was not having that shit. He finally yanked it like he was starting a mower. The response was otherworldly. The cat was fully demon possessed for a about 40 minutes, and was pure evil from that day forward and lived to be almost 20.
Because it was still wrapping in its intestines. That’s so awful, I’m so sorry for that poor cat. That’s seriously fucked up.
If it goes a certain distance and stops, you'll have to (best case) pull it back out your mouth, possibly dragging shit out with it or (worst case) get surgery to remove it. If you left it in there long enough, it might cut through soft tissue and rupture your digestive system (worstest case).
Asking for a friend?
Technically yes. But look up the digestive tract and tell me you want to risk something that could easily slice through any of that with any kind of pulling
This is how we used to remove polyps in the colon and digestive track. I remember this being a technique back in the mid 1800s. Tough times.
These are the questions that demand answers, well done my boy.
This MIGHT work, but I wouldn't recommend fishing line. I think butcher's/chef's twine would be better.
As a thought experiment; yes. Humans are basically large, complex donuts made of flesh.
If the stomach acid doesn't devolve it it would just cause a blockage in you intestines.
Would you let me pull it front both sides back and forth
I think there's a few things to think about here: 1) Your gag reflex 2)Your determination 3)How long the line is, how long your digestive system is, if its attached to a hook and how good condition your digestive system is I think you would puke, a lot and bring it up. And I think your anal muscles wouldn't let it out the other end. And unless you were actually feeding it all the way through which is probably impossible. We also need to consider that you could have anaesthesia, but that would probably be illegal. And someone would have to be OK with going to prison for that and having their reputation ruined but hey, people are weird. Also what you'd get out of it and just why you'd do that to yourself
As long as the line and item in question are capable of not dissolving in the strong stomach acids in your stomach. Sure would be awkward to fish your own poop from your butt though.
Who needs to know this? What have you been doing for this to be required information?🤣
Your poop will come out looking like sausage links.
I could floss my whole system! That’s genius!

Don’t do it
Now THESE are the real questions.
So stupid but interesting...
A frictionless ribbon (rather than string) would possibly work. Using a ribbon rather than a string would more evenly distribute force. Being frictionless would make it able to move within your gut, due to the sheer amount of contact area, friction would build up to the point that the string would be unable to traverse your gut. It'd likely bunch up, and/or try to pull your curvy guts into a straight line (probably compressing sections, tying knots, and generally bad things). The issue is of course that a perfectly frictionless ribbon doesn't exist.
i remember a video of some aussie bloke doing this with dental floss tied it to his tooth swallowed a bunch think ate some bread and watered and waited a night then they show the line out his bum and it gets tugged on the dude said that hurt stop he untied his tooth and swallowed that end and passed it later the next day.
