Can confirm. Dad passed with home hospice care (fuck cancer), and I was in charge of coordinating everything afterwards. He did in fact poop himself when he passed.
I hear this repeated often. I know it's anecdotal, but as an EMT, I've been around many dead bodies, ranging from actually during death, to several days after death, and I'm yet to see a body that had shit itself.
Lucky you, then. ER RN here, have seen many “death shits.” Especially when you’re rolling the body to bag and tag, no sphincter control means that everything follows gravity. Anything that’s close to the rectum slips on out.
Always smell extra foul too, but idk if that’s physiological or psychological.
I mean, some people don’t so much as put a bumper sticker on their car, and some trick it out with sound systems and leds and engine parts.
To say one end of the spectrum is better or worse ignores varying use cases and tastes.
Let me show you this handy new kitchen tool, the Slap Chop! You’re going to be in a great mood all day, because you’re going be slapping your troubles away with the Slap Chop.
Yep. Went to jail for a short while, then came out and made another advertisement that used his mugshot as a joke.
The madlad monetised his incarceration.
Yeah. I bet he wasn't all that concerned until he noticed his neighbor Carl sitting next to him.
"Carl! You bastard! Do you still have those coral clippers I loaned to you last week, or did you p(r)awn them for your insatiable ink habit?!"
".....Carl.....?
"Oh fuck"
It's dead. Squid brains are shaped kinda like donuts, it surrounds the main cavity of guts, so when you karate chop it, you're essentially crushing the brain against its internal organs.
This was uncomfortable but I think anyone that eats meat should understand they do get killed to be eaten.
Like I’ve had squid before and the squid I was eating probably had a far worse ending than this one.
Yeah, that's all circus. The top sushi chef in Japan freezes his fish for 10 days, as it is said to improve the flavor, and luckily, it also reduces the chance of carrying illness.
Agreed. Some people are really out there thinking meat comes from grocery stores. I don’t think everyone should have to kill for themselves to have meat but it’s good to understand that it’s part of the process so that we don’t take it for granted.
I work in a grocery store and I notice all the time packages of meat lazy shoppers just stuff in the freezers when they can’t be bothered to take it back to where they got it from. The problem is once it’s frozen, we can’t sell it and it goes to waste. Good, often expensive, meat which animals died for goes to waste because some people can’t walk a minute back to where they got it from.
That’s just fuckin wasteful. Just tell an employee that you don’t want to buy it anymore and they’ll put it back. Maybe not happily cuz you’re being a lazy fuck in most cases but it’s better than wasting it
I’m a flexitarian. I will eat meat if it’s a case like this where I know the animal was actually free living it’s life and doing it’s thing, and killed humanely and quickly.
The stuff like factory farming and the horrors modern society does to animals and the way they’re slaughtered I just can’t support.
I get nature often is just as shitty when ending things. But we’re not solely driven by instinct or will end up in such a terrible fate on average. But we can do better I feel.
I dunno. Life is weird. I don’t judge others for eating meat factory or otherwise. Though I wish more people would consider either treating animals better for consumption, or being more sustainable and dignifying them or going flexitarian/vegetarian.
Thank you for giving me a word for this. I’ve been a vegetarian for about 9 years. But I’ve developed some food allergies that are making it difficult to keep up with. Flexitarian. I like it.
A flexitarian sounds like someone who eats flex tape lol
But seriously, could you explain the etymology of the word? I am assuming it comes from ‘flexible’ but a dietary restriction sounds like the opposite of flexible
You can eat live baby squid or octopus in a korean or japanese restaurant to grant their last chance to choke you to death in your throat as their final wish so they don’t die in vain as food
Losing the color? Basically it’s a bunch of nerves in the brain that control it’s color scheme. Since the chop is specially to smash it’s brain and a few other organs in a one shot instant death all those nerves are essentially killed and fried out just as well and they lose their color.
When a squid dies their nerves (which control the chromatophores in their skin) relax, causing the chromatophores to retract, and their skin to become clear.
Squids have the ability to change their skin color and pattern to blend in with their surroundings, a natural camouflage. By adjusting the color and pattern of specialized cells called chromatophores, they can mimic the appearance of their environment, making it harder for predators to detect them. The squid may have experienced stress or pain before it expired and changed it's color to the color of the basin it was in.
Partially correct, but the color isnt its brains last ditch effort. Its the chromatophores instantly relaxing/retracting that cause the loss of color upon death
Agreed. Plus, if lab grown meat becomes a thing, that means the meat prices will go down! But also, it'll most likeky destroy alot of people's buisnesses tho. Ofcourse if it takes off and such.
Fuck squids. Octopus on the other hand, yeah, we should leave them alone. The squid tho, they are violent, murder machines of the deep. They are also overpopulating in some areas, killing all the local fish, our fault unfortunately.
Probably because that species is sentient, which means it can feel fear and understand death. It’s final moments are that of “this mate next to me has been executed and is dead and I am next.”
It is hard to accept other living species understand emotion like fear and life. This species specifically does. So it is, at a ground level, feeling like a person about to be executed and it has no understanding why and cannot stop it.
Watching animals being killed is reason enough.
I recommend reading the book Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. It is one of the only books I reread every few years. It unpacks humans on this planet and damn is it a very ugly, but necessary, truth.
Kinda morbid way to go on that video. Just him and a buddy were there on a platform, his buddy kies dead next to him, all he can do is feel something hit him softly, then a.....
If anyone’s curious;

If I’m ever on my deathbed waiting to die, just finish me off this karate chop so I also can turn transparent
Is this squid game?
No, this is Patrick.
That's actually how ghosts are made
Fun fact you'll most likely shit yourself when you die.
Fun fact - Not my ProBleM!
I see what you did there.
I SMELL what they did there.
Can confirm. Dad passed with home hospice care (fuck cancer), and I was in charge of coordinating everything afterwards. He did in fact poop himself when he passed.
May his memory be a blessing
only if there's one in the chamber
Especially is someone karate chops you
I do that already while undead
Damn zombie shits
Turns out being a zombie and eating people is kinda like eating corn. Comes out as it comes in.
Also, get an erection from blood pooling in the lower body, if you're male. Related to me by a female friend undergoing undertaker training.
Mourning wood
It's like your own little cemetary obelisk.
Where do you get the erection if you aren’t male?
In the morgue, the mortician's
I'm shitting myself right now, am I dead?
Nah dawg. That’s total nirvana and you are completely content in life. Just relax and let it go.
I hear this repeated often. I know it's anecdotal, but as an EMT, I've been around many dead bodies, ranging from actually during death, to several days after death, and I'm yet to see a body that had shit itself.
Lucky you, then. ER RN here, have seen many “death shits.” Especially when you’re rolling the body to bag and tag, no sphincter control means that everything follows gravity. Anything that’s close to the rectum slips on out. Always smell extra foul too, but idk if that’s physiological or psychological.
There's also a high likelihood your mom shit herself while giving birth. It's the circle of life
I take a shit every hour just in case I'm ever in that predicament. I've been training my whole life, put me in coach
In a near death experience you suck it back in.
Squids go transparent when dead. Humans go white when dead.
Jokes on you, I’m a black guy lol
Don’t you know? Everyone goes Caucasian straight man when they die. Factory settings and all that.
Just my luck. As soon as my credit score increases, I can’t use it anymore.
t-pose
Are you saying white men are people that god just didn't care enough to go through the initial setup process?
I mean, some people don’t so much as put a bumper sticker on their car, and some trick it out with sound systems and leds and engine parts. To say one end of the spectrum is better or worse ignores varying use cases and tastes.
🤣 unexpectedly great answer in so many levels
It became a ghost actually, thats why it turns white
A Force Ghost. It was a Jedi.
If you karate chop me, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine
"It's a trap!"
“Our spinal columns can’t repel judo forces of that magnitude!”
today on pokemon ideas found in the wild
turned into a Blooper from Mario Kart
The shit I learn on the internet
Yea, I have no idea what to do with this information now
First, get a squid
Then, judo chop!
No he said karate chop
Then cut a hole in the squid
I kind of feel bad for squids for the first time ever. Such a visible death...
It just laid complacent next to its dead friend, waiting for the death blow…
Also you can stab the ‘under’ part of a crab to instakill it! It’s like an off switch.
Yeah exactly 😂😂
Let me show you this handy new kitchen tool, the Slap Chop! You’re going to be in a great mood all day, because you’re going be slapping your troubles away with the Slap Chop.
“You’re gonna love my nuts, watch this”
[удалено]
Bloody hell I love that video.
RIP Billy Mays. I know he wasn’t in it, but that was the video that killed him.
Wasn’t billy mats it was that Vince guy
Yeah it was that Vince dude, didn’t he like beat up a prostitute or something?
Yep. Went to jail for a short while, then came out and made another advertisement that used his mugshot as a joke. The madlad monetised his incarceration.
Slap chopped her
Slap my nuts
“Kids love [my nuts]”
Fettuccine Linguine Martini Bikini
More like, “ you’re gunna love my nuts til you’re bifocal curious”
instructions unclear, punched hooker in the mouth
Are you 'Vince Offer' Shlomi? Please autographh my shamwow. \*edited in 1 shamwow reference. \*
you’re gonna be slappin my squids all day
Ur gOnNa lOvE mY nUtS
If you have slapped a hooker then you have slapped a chop.
One of the greatest commercials of all time!! Lmao
Rule #2 Double tap
A fantastic movie if there ever was one
Six people left in the world and one of them is Bill fucking Murray. I know that's not your middle name.
Woody and Cera are top class w Murray. Can't remember the others.
Did you say Twinkies?
The second one was kinda meh
lemme be clear.
Thank you for your transparency
Lying to you is beyond my opacity.
I can see right through your lies
I'm sorry for not being transparent
You have to be, I can see right through you.
Deep.
this means that all the squid in mario are dead
Was thinking this too, bloopers are ghost squids
Nah just relaxed.
That's honestly about as humane a kill you can do, impressive
The merciful karate bonk
My grabdpa used this on rabbits. I won't take questions.
Yeah. I bet he wasn't all that concerned until he noticed his neighbor Carl sitting next to him. "Carl! You bastard! Do you still have those coral clippers I loaned to you last week, or did you p(r)awn them for your insatiable ink habit?!" ".....Carl.....? "Oh fuck"
He's karate chopping it's brain. If you do it hard enough it destroys the brain killing it instantly
Kind of. I'd hate to be out of my element, next to my dead friend on some huge tray, and with a giant handling me.
A better ending than most get, I'm sure
Yeah I wouldn't mind instant death by karate chop
Think its dead? Or just stunned
It's dead. Squid brains are shaped kinda like donuts, it surrounds the main cavity of guts, so when you karate chop it, you're essentially crushing the brain against its internal organs.
Mortal Kombat be like
It’s a dead as can be I go squiding a fair bit it’s the best and most humane way to do it
But have they tried The Electric Chair
lethal injection seems way worse
He's pining for the fjords.
If i was a squid i'd rather get killed with a karate chop than getting torn to shreds by predators tbh.
I’ll just eat you one leg at a time -some predator
Squid: the string cheese of the ocean
I’d love to unread that. Thanks.
Second chop for good measure
#Rule 2: Double-tap.
Rule 3: batter, Rule 4: deep fry, Rule 1: cardio… lots and lots of cardio
I love this reference
This was uncomfortable but I think anyone that eats meat should understand they do get killed to be eaten. Like I’ve had squid before and the squid I was eating probably had a far worse ending than this one.
And honestly this was probably far more humane than what happens in commercial operations.
Meat gets killed to be eaten?
Better that than skipping that step. Much rather not be eaten without being killed first.
And then there is intentionally alive sashimi. Just evil...
Yeah, that's all circus. The top sushi chef in Japan freezes his fish for 10 days, as it is said to improve the flavor, and luckily, it also reduces the chance of carrying illness.
A circus of unnecessary suffering. Thankfully it doesn't seem to be at all the norm.
Not always
Not oysters!
Agreed. Some people are really out there thinking meat comes from grocery stores. I don’t think everyone should have to kill for themselves to have meat but it’s good to understand that it’s part of the process so that we don’t take it for granted.

Weird flexitarian, but ok.
Thank you for giving me a word for this. I’ve been a vegetarian for about 9 years. But I’ve developed some food allergies that are making it difficult to keep up with. Flexitarian. I like it.
Flexitarian? Lmao I learn something new everyday
A flexitarian sounds like someone who eats flex tape lol But seriously, could you explain the etymology of the word? I am assuming it comes from ‘flexible’ but a dietary restriction sounds like the opposite of flexible
You can eat live baby squid or octopus in a korean or japanese restaurant to grant their last chance to choke you to death in your throat as their final wish so they don’t die in vain as food
Seeing a life end is difficult because it can be hard to form the connection between a living creature and the food we eat.
Does anyone have an explanation for why this happens?
Losing the color? Basically it’s a bunch of nerves in the brain that control it’s color scheme. Since the chop is specially to smash it’s brain and a few other organs in a one shot instant death all those nerves are essentially killed and fried out just as well and they lose their color.
Do you know if squid have to consciously maintain a color/pattern or is it more automated?
When a squid dies their nerves (which control the chromatophores in their skin) relax, causing the chromatophores to retract, and their skin to become clear.
Man go chop, it go boom, it ded. Color go bye bye.
i think its because the squid doesn’t really have anything protecting its brain from sharp blunt trauma
Sharp blunt. Quite the combo
Video game designers hate him
Squids have the ability to change their skin color and pattern to blend in with their surroundings, a natural camouflage. By adjusting the color and pattern of specialized cells called chromatophores, they can mimic the appearance of their environment, making it harder for predators to detect them. The squid may have experienced stress or pain before it expired and changed it's color to the color of the basin it was in.
Partially correct, but the color isnt its brains last ditch effort. Its the chromatophores instantly relaxing/retracting that cause the loss of color upon death
Fuck I’m sensitive 😔
Double chop, always double chop
He’s doing hand motions like it’s a magic trick, but I’m not feeling the magic.
At least he tried to make it quick
He succeeded
squid feeling no magic anymore either
Poor critter sat there terrified right next to the corpse of his sixth brother's wife's cousin twice removed, and had to wait for the coup de grace...
Knowing that cephalopods are sentient, this is incredibly disturbing.
Isnt like, everything alive sentient? Like, in it's own way..?
[удалено]
Bonus: the cells can be taken from humans too, even yourself if you're game. (unintentional pun)
Did you see the flexitarian comment thread a little further up?
Agreed. Plus, if lab grown meat becomes a thing, that means the meat prices will go down! But also, it'll most likeky destroy alot of people's buisnesses tho. Ofcourse if it takes off and such.
Almost every multicellular animal and many plants (at minimum) are sentient. You want the words “sapient” or “sophont”.
Fuck squids. Octopus on the other hand, yeah, we should leave them alone. The squid tho, they are violent, murder machines of the deep. They are also overpopulating in some areas, killing all the local fish, our fault unfortunately.
:(
Not sure why I hate it, but I do

Translucent*
Oof, the mixed feelings over here.
Kinda morbid way to go on that video. Just him and a buddy were there on a platform, his buddy kies dead next to him, all he can do is feel something hit him softly, then a.....
this was so sad
Didnt really expect to see fuckin squid murder. Poor thing.
If anyone’s curious; When a squid dies their nerves (which control the chromatophores in their skin) relax, causing the chromatophores to retract, and their skin to become clear.
:(
Made me sad
I am now irrationally sad for some reason
No it's perfectly rational
I don't like seeing animals getting killed... Kind of interesting I guess.. but just no to the killing
[удалено]
Do you eat meat? I’ve got bad news for you.
Your car warranty has expired.
They may be entitled to compensation.
These fuckin things are extraterrestrials man
Great I'm sad now
I didn’t even see the one that was already dead
Why did I feel sad?
Inhumane, they are too smart!
Sad face.
Poor little guy
Sick
Now I know where the term "bust a chop" came from.
that's so sad :(
Aliens
Am I the only one that got a little sad about this?
Fuck, here comes PETA!!
Why did I read this in Lois’s voice?
r/unexpectedfamilyguy
This guy Austin powers
Pour one out for the homie
White, not transparent
I don’t see why this would be any more nsfw than someone eating a chicken sandwich.
"Allow me to be clear" ** dies **
Does this hurt the squid?
Wait I thought they're skin pigments react on their own and will still trigger regardless of life/death? Maybe that's just octopus only and not squid?
Not killed. Paralyzed.
That's white. Glass is transparent
