i am not password protecting my kidneys or my name isn’t hepatitis murphy, shiest bladder in the east
Lol I thought “2FA” meant “Second Fucking Amendment” and I was supposed to shoot my own kidney.
That’s one way to solve a lot of problems.
A sufficient amount of violence can solve all problems. It’s not necessarily the best solution for any given problem, or even a good one, but it’s definitely a solution.
The ‘sufficient’ qualifier requires that the problem is solved, as it is sufficient.
A sufficient number of penguins would solve world hunger.
Because they make great farmers; they just never got a chance to try.
The best part of these jokes is that AI will suggest it as a solution in a couple months when you search.
The British Medical Journal has a Christmas issue in which they publish lighthearted, amusing “evidence”. That really fucks with AI.
I wish I had a friend I wouldn’t think twice about donating an organ to. In my experience, people tend to be less than grateful when I go the extra mile for them, having had that happen four separate times in five years. If I had given anyone a kidney and I had to terminate that friendship over their behavior, I’d be very sour about it.
No, wait. I want the real answer. Is that a thing, bio-memory or whatever?
Every organ has their own nerves. Some have more or less their own brain cells (especially your gut). All nerves have memory to some degree - muscle memory is literally a thing
The amount of local regulatory control varies between organs, but the more complex they are the more you can assume the internal nerves control most of it and that the connection to the brain regulates it somewhat
Ikr? You want a real answer but people just keep giving you jokes, or change the topic, or reply with memes / emoticons.

It’s actually not known why, but it’s very common with kidney transplant. I was told it’s thought to be because of the bladder, not the kidney (since we can go years without peeing before transplant).
That makes sense, the bladder isn’t used to having a normal volume of urine and has become extra sensitive, leading to an urge to urinate at a lower capacity.
Man I wish I could go years without peeing. Would save so much time
Only if the alternative was doing nothing. Having to sit down and stay still in a chair for many hours whilst hooked up to machinery doesn’t sound like much of an improvement.
I mean, isn’t that what we basically all do for at least 8h a day anyway? Except that our machinery has screens and Internet.
Who needs machinery when you have this bad boy?
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.
Sure beats asking Mom to bring the bucket!
To quote Cartman:“MOM! BATHROOM!”
It was the most convenient thing, unless you ate something too salty or get the water crazies.
Because then you start to drown in your own lungs.
But, watching any show, movie, or playing a game without having to pee was very convenient
What? And miss getting a hit of those sweet sweet endorphins every time I have a full-to-bursting bladder and unleash the torrential riptide?
How much time are you spending peeing? Is it that much of a burden on your schedule?
I’d think pooping or brushing your teeth would be much worse.
Doing all three at the same time seems unappealing.
we can go years without peeing before transplant
I’m sure I’m passing this sentence wrong, but I cannot work it out. It sounds like you’re saying that sometimes people don’t pee until they’ve had a transplant.
Yup, that’s what I’m saying.
You can lose the ability to pee with kidney failure.
And your health goes down drastically once you do
When I started dialysis, I could still work and such. But I could also still pee.
After about 2 years, I lost the ability completely, and that’s when physical activity became harder, because the water removal fluctuations became harsher with dialysis.
Then I moved to Finland, which has hemodiafiltration instead of only hemodialysis like the USA, and got much better again.
maybe they mean with dialysis?
If you go years without peeing, where does the pee go?
Do the balls just start getting bigger?
I’d say it’s a thing. Different bodies, different habits, different rhythms.
CKD patients on dialysis are not used to have urine in their bladder, which has lost its muscle tone and volume because of disuse, so people need to urinate more frequently for a certain time period after their kidney transplant and their nervous system has to be retrained for sensation, contractility and voiding.

He’s joking now but just wait for the inevitable cyberdystopia where HP manufacturers replacement organs.
You joke, but there are already protheses which are proprietary, and have shut down. Artificial eyes is a famous example, where the company making one shut down the product line, and blinded people who’d had it installed, due to it just shutting off.
In a good world this type of shit would be illegal. We’ll need a stop killing games petition but for organs soon
I think that’s alcoholic anonymous
Cyberpunk really sucks when it’s all corpo and no chop shops.
In any sane society, there would be heads on the chopping block for this, figuratively speaking.
Why would the company shutting down brick the device? Is it calling back home for processing or something.
Digital Renal Management
…simultaneously rolled out with Digital Rectal Management, of course.
Brings a whole new meaning to the ol’ “drink verification can” meme. The artificial kidney could scan the contents for firmware updates and stuff. Maybe it shuts off if you don’t drink one every week.
For speech readers, not sure if something this long will fit in the alt text.
(This isn’t the original text but it’s close enough to get the joke. The dates and game were different in the original. This was what some copypasta website gave me.)

Bum finger as the Brits call it
I’m going to need y’all both to step away from the lathe.
What happens if you forget to pay the subscription on your sphincter?
The OpenAI logo clenches shut…
Don’t care for musicals in general but this was worth watching for zydrate anatomy alone.
don’t have to wait, that’s happened already
This should be illegal.
may I interest you in destroying the entire concept of copyright and/or the idea that any such venture should be undertaken by a legal entitity that can just quit existing
Your pacemaker subscription has expired
You know you got a true friend when they give you one of their kidneys.
But make sure you get yourself into a nighttime pissing habit first, for the lolz
Many people are good friends with this fella then
What if they sold one for me?
Sounds like the kidneys could use some load balancing too.
I hate 2fa so very much and long for the world of the past where just having a fucking account and a password was enough, now you need to check your fucking email and wait for a fucking text to turn on your fucking toaster
I don’t care what security nerds say I don’t need every single fucking god damn thing to have the same security as a bank account
Would passkeys solve your grievances for you?
Bro wants hacked 💀
ok hack me
I used to hate it too. Now I understand the importance of security and believe 2FA should be required everywhere.
Used to agree to this, until it turned out that SMS basically doesn’t work in rural areas.. Theoretically you can get a voice call with the code, but I’ve personally ran into instances where the 2FA voice call simply doesn’t work on landlines. If we’re going to do 2FA, it has to be something so universal anyone can do it. So far, I don’t think we’ve achieved that. I think people have a right to access banking services, etc, and if 2FA doesn’t work for them, we’re deciding to ban them from using those services. Doesn’t sit right with me.
And the password’s already been compromised and distributed so far and wide your neighbor’s dog knows it by memory.
If my 16bit alphanumeric password in ancient Mayan and morse code is operationally useless, can we just sign in via emoji?
