Now, a team of physicians at the AAST Grand Hospital in Milan have added a new tool to the arsenal after a particularly challenging instance forced them to innovate. Writing in BMJ Case Reports, endoscopist Dr Lorenzo Dioscoridi and his colleagues detail the treatment of a 31-year-old man who presented to the emergency room with a girthy, 60-centimeter (23 inch) rubber dildo lodged inside him.
During the initial examination and questioning by the staff on duty, the man explained that the toy was "not removable by hand" and had been stuck for 24 hours. Yet, other than some mild abdominal pain, he was feeling fine. When an X-ray revealed the sheer magnitude of the problem, he was referred to the endoscopy unit.
Did it not have a flared base or something?
Probably not big enough. From the X-ray the dildo is roughly as wide as his spine and the base is only about twice it's width. Get going energetically at just the right angle annnnnd..
A quick Google search found the likely product: a double-ended dildo, obviously without a flared base. (Or middle in this case.) The "base" visible on the x-ray is just the other end, at a weird angle because it's been shoved up someone's ass.
Thank you so much for finding that out and also for keeping my internet search history clear of that
There is a part of me that just doesn't believe something could get stuck in my butt, which probably means I'll be awesomeing an article about me one day.
If you're ever in the kink community, a repeated piece of advice that comes up/gets yelled at idiot newbies is never to stick anything up your butt that doesn't have a flared base - a significant flared base.

That's just it, though. I've heard the advice, I've seen the evidence, yet still I doubt. I've got too much unearned confidence and trying to warn me only makes it more likely that I will end up in the ER after trying to prove a point.

You're pursuing the scientific method.
You have your theory, now go and experiment !
Don't forgot to take lots of notes and, ideally, photos and/or video.
Start with something small, like a baby carrot, and stick it up there. Way up there.
Then test how easy it comes out !
This time next month you'll be testing a 18" double ended dildo !

Didnt the US Navy test something similar a couple of days ago?
Either way the fires are going to be unreal.
Yeah looking it up it's apparently about twice as powerful as the current LaWS system developed some years back.

Hell, isn't that why the Gerald Ford class Carriers have four fission power plants on them? Under the assumption that they will be rigged up with energy weapons in the near future?
(Or more likely energy point defense systems. Might be the US military's solution to the hypersonic missile problem)
I can't wait for reports of bystanders blinded by specular reflection
That's class 4 with a bullet.
I'm not exactly pro warfare myself, but you really don't see the gone right of a defensive weapon system designed to shoot down rockets fired at civilian targets?

It's apartheid Israel so...no, no I don't. I'm also imagining specular reflections and wondering how far away from them before you don't have to worry about permanent eye damage given a laser that's probably in the hundreds of kilowatts to megawatt range. You know, like the civilians that weapon is putatively supposed to be protecting.

As someone who actually had to get up in the middle of the day/night and run out of the house and into a nearby concrete shelter - with about a minute warning - for fear of my life due to incoming rocket volleys, please, by all means, go fuck yourself.
I'll get right on that just as soon as Israel stops stealing"settling" land from Palestinians.
Oh, and exploding them. That'd be a good thing for the Israeli government to stop doing as well.
Unfortunately I suspect we'll both be dead before we're done waiting.
Given the stated system of two beams with a total output of up to 150 kW, and assuming a beam divergence of 1 milliradian (which may be generous, I don't know if it should be higher because it's so powerful/thicker beam or lower because of military grade focusing optics or what), and assuming a wavelength that our human eye lenses focus (unclear from the video, couldn't find anything in related sources), you're looking at a Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance of maybe 40 to 55 miles. Source. The math works out to about 24 feet times the square root of the power (in milliwatts), divided by the divergence (in milliradians). So yeah, eye damage in bystanders is somewhere between "possible" and "inevitable".
On the other hand, ordinance and military drones don't have a lot of specular surfaces, and I can't think of an interception system that doesn't have some risk of collateral injury.
Off-the-shelf mirrors and chrome paint are not perfect reflectors. At these energy levels, they will absorb enough energy to crack, melt, and/or burn. If the laser is knocking these down in 4 seconds, I'd expect a mirror to fail in 8 to 40 seconds, and paint to make no difference at all, but that's a really rough guess. Also don't know if the laser can actually be sustained for that long, or if an incoming shell would impact before then.
Something like space shuttle tiles would hold up better.

I also highly doubt these lasers are operating in the visible range, making standard mirrors/chroming even less effective. You'd have to use something reflective against the right wavelength, which could be harder than it sounds.
Same would go for shielding tiles like the shuttle. Those are extremely good black bodies in visible and infrared, but would be more vulnerable to a hypothetical high intensity UV laser. Even in infrared, they absorb energy very quickly, but also emit it very efficiently. It's possible to put more energy into them than they can shed, at which point they'll start conducting heat through to the underlying structure.
At high enough energy levels lasers are very hard to defend against because things that work great at low levels aren't perfect, and inefficiency generally converts the waste to heat.

Wavelengths outside of the visible range increase the potential for eye damage as well, since it may not trigger the blink reflex.
Damage is, if I'm remembering right, a matter of the cumulative energy deposited on whichever body part, which is wavelength-dependent. Blink reflexes and similar reduce the total energy because after N milliseconds your muscles twitch and break the beam (which will now begin heating your eyelid).
I'd be surprised if the true dangerous range is out to 50 miles unless we're talking "pointed directly at person on a plane", at which point they need to worry about getting shot out of the sky as well, but a shorter dangerous radius due to reflections is what I would expect.
Being unhappy that it's now harder for Hamas terrorists to shoot rockets at civilian targets is a bad look no matter how much you hate the state of Israel.
Its more like being unhappy that instead of choosing to treat Palestinians as human beings, Israel is inventing super sci-fi defenses so that they can be immune to any retaliation for any shitty behaviour.
Yes, the 50 miles estimate was for "standing in the beam", and the math is pretty much the same for specular reflections. The NOHD threshold I was calculating was the threshold where permanent eye damage occurs before a blink reflex can protect you. If the laser is engaging a target about 4 miles away, people within about 45 miles of the target may be at risk. Of course, any imperfections in the reflecting surface, or curvature of the surface, are going to reduce that pretty dramatically. I couldn't quite make enough assumptions about the laser to fill in the blanks for a diffuse reflection; here's a thing if you want to give it a go.
As for wavelengths: human eyes do focus near infra-red same as visible, so that kind of light is most dangerous as it is invisible while still being concentrated on the retina. Farther infra-red is not focused, and UV is mostly blocked.
The skin burn hazard distance is about 6.5% of the NOHD, so... about 3.25 miles?
Being unhappy that it's now harder for Hamas terrorists to shoot rockets at civilian targets is a bad look no matter how much you hate the state of Israel.
If Israel wanted to stop Hamas attacks they could do it instantly, by actually coming to the negotiation table in good faith and ceasing the extrajudicial evictions and murder of the Palestinian people. If Hamas are terrorists, fighting back because it's the only way they'll be heard, then what does that make Israel for giving them no other options to be heard?
I will not celebrate the fact they instead chose to develop defenses so they can continue to carry on the personal choice for a campaign of unrepentant genocide against Palestine. While including everyone else they don't like under the convenient excuse of "Hamas is there" to let them bomb journalist offices and civilian apartment buildings, whether or not they have the "courtesy" to call them up and inform them their home and everything in it is about to disappear in a ball of flame.
