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
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.
If you swallow too much at once it overextends the esophagus. This causes it to spasm. That is why it hurts sometimes.
I already learned this from your dad
Are you saying you throat goated my dad?
Swallow what? 😳
It's a bird.
European or African?
Uh, I don’t know that
zoimmnnggg
Both. That’s why it’s too much.
My favourite little bird, the lowly barn swallow. Incredibly social, they gather on the power lines and twitter at each other when a storm is coming. Lightning fast, and voracious mosquito eaters, and they keep their nests incredibly clean, carrying out their droppings from the building.
I love barn swallows.
So does their mom?
European or African?
I call it swallowing a square because that's what it feels like to me.
You mean "cube"?
Expecting that everyone else exists in the third dimension is kinda ableist tbh.
Ha! It do be facts, tho.
Swallowing a cube doesn't have quite the same ring to it as swallowing a square though!
There is a certain flow to it, certainly. 🤣
Me too from this moment on. You've described it perfectly.
Oh man! I'd love it if there was a translation from German, Hungarian, Japanese, or the like that had this description for this. You nailed it.
German: Quadrat verschluckt Haitian Creole: vale yon kare Hawaiian: ale i ka huinaha Hungarian: nyelt egy négyzetet Icelandic : gleypti ferning Japanese: 四角を飲み込んだ (Shikaku o nomikonda) Scottish Gaelic : shluig e cearnag Ukranian: проковтнув квадрат (prokovtnuv kvadrat)
FWIW 🤷🏼♂️🤓
"I'm probably going to die"
Same feeling I get when I swallow an irregular shaped piece of food or one of those elongated multivitamin pills and the object decides to go down SIDEWAYS. You can feel it getting lodged at the back of your throat and then you feel it slowly painfully sliding down your esophagus as you start imagining who will be attending your funeral and what they will be saying for your eulogy.
I always picture a swashbuckling pirate jumping down my throat, using his knife to slow down his decent like in the cartoons when they did it to the sails on the ship. ☠️
Usually happens when you are in a rush or are not paying attention. I have that happen to me when I'm rushing out the door and decide to drink a bit of water or a coffee but want to hurry up. Then you lose any amount of time you were trying to save by standing there imagining what they will be writing on your tombstone.
This has happened a few times in my life. Feels kinda like when you use a muscle wrong and it starts cramping, just that in this case I somehow swallowed wrong. At least it doesn't last for very long. Once my leg started cramping while I was half-asleep. Fuck that hurt for what felt like 5 minutes.
It has taken way to long for someone bringing this up online,forcing me to spread the word offline. It's called "Eckiger Schluck", I came up with the name and I refuse any facts indicating that this term is incorrect! Looking at you @x@piefed.world
This is called dysphagia when it becomes a problem.
Is this water in lung or what?
For me there are times where I ”drink too hard”, and it leaves some nasty chest pain. Rare, but I hate when it happens.
