It’s a bolus – a ball-shaped mass of liquid – moving down the throat via peristalsis. The muscles just happened to have formed the liquid into a sphere, liquids cannot be compressed, so the peristaltic muscles are trying to squeeze something that can’t be squeezed. The muscles don’t know that, squeeze anyway, and that pain is the result.

well then someone should fix it since we clearly know the cause and it's reproducible. we filed this issue like 300,000 years ago and it's still open, and I've seen it on other MAMMALX platforms like cat and dog

So much for intelligent design eh?

Theodicy is the the teological conundrum of how to square God's omnipotence (can do anything) and omnibenevolence (absolute good) with the existence of evil in the world. A shitton of teologicians and philosophers tried to tackle the problem and usually failed miserably. Personally I never found any explanation to be convincing, until I came up with one and I honestly believe it is the only possible one.

What if God just... isn't very clever? He's doing his best, ok?!

Now, you may ask - if he's omnipotent, couldn't he increase his own intelligence? Yes he could. But he's too stupid to realise that =(

Ah the Dunning-Kruger theodicy, I like it

We don't write the H there in my native Czech and I'm very hungover today, so I apparently fucked it up twice. Interesting that I did write "theodicy" correctly (I hope)

I sometimes catch myself writing "Kanada" instead of Canada when not paying attention too.

Ah, I was hoping it was more "te" as in "tea" to imply making shit "wisdom" up while looking at the bottom of a cup, or as in the Latin accusative/ablative "you" to imply Truth™ via argumentum ad populum. 🤪🤓

Ah, no. You want wine with that.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

And little flavorless crackers, right?

It's in the next release.

Unfortunately there is no path forward without full uninstall, reinstall.

thank you for volunteering to fix this issue!

I've always had it with soda, and I thought I had swallowed in such a way that the CO2 was all trying to fizz out at once. Feels like you've stubbed your esophagus.

[–] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Out of curiosity, do you lack the ability to burp?

I used to get that issue with soda and I also used to not be able to burp

There's actually a real treatment for it now

On the off chance you can't burp, try looking (or try having your doctor look) into "dysfunction of the belch reflex"

I can burp. But not during a swallow. Esophagus is half-duplex.
