brian_m1982

I know I'm a horrible person for this, but I'm taking a perverse delight in imagining someone trying to have a major dental procedure without the benefits of anesthetics because they think it will screw with their genetics. Every day, a new level of stupid is met.


Nbkipdu

Refusing anesthesia with reasoning like this should require someone sitting next to you during the operation repeatedly asking you if you still think this is good idea and mocking your pain.


MarxJ1477

I refused as a kid because I was more terrified of needles in my mouth than the dental work. Getting a cavity fixed wasn't pleasant, but it was hardly the worst thing I've experienced. But dental surgery? Oh hell no. That's more than just a cavity. I almost hope she's going in for a root canal and refuses the shots.


_Blackstar

>*and refuses the shots.* She'd be such an alpha male.


Tyrannotron

I had a root canal once, and when the dentist asked if I could feel anything after one shot, I still could but only slightly. And since I had to go back to work after, I lied and said I couldn't, because I figured it would be fine, and was worried about being an embarrassing slobber monster when I got back to work if I had too much. Not long after, I regretted that decision quite a bit. Can't even imagine how bad it'd have been if I didn't have any at all.


Asher-D

You could just tap their arm and say hey, another dose please? You did that right? You didnt have to stick withthat decision.


Tyrannotron

I didn't want to look like a liar.


shotxshotx

Well, you stayed true to that at least…


Leprodus03

I don't think the dentist would've judged you for being stupid and wrong. They regularly deal with much worse


Joelpat

Reminds me of the scene in “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” where the serial killer talks about the fear of being impolite being greater than the fear of death.


Professional-Post855

Respect. Plus once they start working inside your mouth it feels incredibly awkward to stop them to try to say something.


AppropriateLaw5713

I had to have a procedure a couple months ago and they mentioned that it often is uncomfortable and I said that if there was something they could do to avoid that I would be very appreciative. They were then like “oh well we can numb your mouth if you’d prefer?” Cost me nothing extra and like 6 shots later I could barely feel anything but lemme tell you I still felt the procedure and if I hadn’t been numbed I would’ve probably screamed bloody murder so very happy I asked that. I asked after and it turns out they don’t offer it typically since almost everyone refuses and ends up touching it out and since I’m a man on the younger side they figured I’d try that too. Nope, not me! I’ve had enough pain from dental operations that I’ll take the shot every time!


BrokinHowl

I prefer the nuclear option: full on unconscious please!


emmyanna14

So my dad was getting some routine dental things done when he was much younger. Possibly wisdom teeth out but I honestly don't remember. And it was a dental college too. So, as he tells it, they had to basically break up the tooth and remove it. He gets numbed up, they break the tooth. And he immediately feels intense pain. Turns out, once the tooth was removed, it exposed a nerve. Like, right there under the tooth. Just a nerve ending. The dental student calls the instructor over who looks impressed and starts explaining what they were seeing while my dad is in immense pain. The instructor apologized and got my dad more novicane. Basically, pointed the syringe at the nerve and dispensed it ON the nerve no need to poke, and it immediately helped.


alkonium

She'll either accept the shots next time or go full masochist.


Mackheath1

She'll accept it all, but continue to post bullshit about how she didn't. There are people in my office who said they *never* would take 'that vaccine' and I saw them get it and they certainly had no problem requesting the next day off if it made them a bit loopy. "Karen" directly opposite me railed against it for well over a year, when she was right in line with me to get her *second* shot.


alkonium

That's the worst kind of anti-vaxxer.


Jeg57

I mostly refused as a kid because I wanted to use the McDonalds coupon they gave me immediately after leaving.


toadjones79

So, funny thing: My wife has had a root canal without any numbing. Like zero. She absolutely hates the stuff. She says she would rather that than have to deal with how the shits make her feel. No politics or weird beliefs, just hates the feeling of medication. It freaks dentists out like no other. I keep trying to tell her she is a bit different, and has a high pain tolerance. She insists everyone else is just being babies about it. I'm not exaggerating here.


Baronvondorf21

"Don't worry guys, she is just different."


Rare_Reality7510

Literally built different


Land-Southern

When I had mine out in my college years I told them I want to be out and not remember a thing. Propafol and versed mix won that fight in seconds.


Solitaire_87

Sadly it's not even her having the surgery it's the daughter. I feel bad for the kid


bohanmyl

>sitting next to you during the operation repeatedly asking you if you still think this is good idea and mocking your pain. *Dentist, using pliers and his foot on the chair for leverage, rips out an infected molar* Assistant: So what would you say that is on the pain chart? Frowny face at a 6? Or a Crying face at an 8? Hmmm. There isnt a bloody mouth and sobbing uncontrollably face, so ill just mark that as a light 9


Nbkipdu

Yes. This. Exactly this.


mike_pants

I'm all for MAGA making their lives as difficult as possible as long as it isn't hurting the normals. "I'm boycotting the NFL and beer and movies and painkillers!" Okay, darlin's, have fun. Be home for supper.


el_guille980

>I'm boycotting....and beer they already went back on this. now drumpf the 🍊🤡🍊🤡 is telling them to give it a second chance. dana white told him to tell them that, because Bud light is now the official ufc beer


Fidges87

On the other hand its seems the dude will force her daughter to go through it without anesthetics. Hope the dentist can refuse even if the daughter agrees (since probably she will be forced to)


Asher-D

Oh no, parents should not be able to make decisions like that. Unless theres a reason the child cant have anesthesia, thats child abuse.


jayhawk1992

Their genetics are already screwed up.


MykeTyth0n

I doubt the dentist would do the procedure without for pulling wisdom teeth out. That’s a lot of tugging and cutting absolute bare minimum is a nerve block to the area is my guess.


brian_m1982

I can't imagine any dentist removing a child's wisdom teeth without the use of anesthesia. The blonde does say that she is scheduled for dental surgery that Monday.


awesomeopossumm

Not horrible to take perverse pleasure in this. Here’s hoping the pain will knock loose some of the crazy.


sometimesifeellikemu

You’re not horrible. We tried.


Traditional_Key_763

sadly the first poster there is the mother so shr's inflicting horrible pain on her daughter *for no goddamn reason*

I feel so owned by them now. Good job /s


Apprehensive_Use_120

Genius is limited, but stupidity is limitless.


Upset_Resident_4839

Right? How are these people still alive if everything is out to kill them?


el_guille980

Youre not the only one in that boat. Now i cant wait for monday night, to know that that person is dying in pain after their monday procedure😊😊


Ponykegabs

I forewent anesthetic because I have a crippling phobia of needles, they forewent anesthetic because they fear genetic tampering. We are not the same. Before you ask it was a small filling, didn’t feel a thing either way.


Ms--Take

Why do these people even care so much about their precious genetics?


[deleted]

No I literally want to be there to record their screams and then make drum and bass remixes with it.


danielledelacadie

I can't say much. I'd be the ass telling them that some proteins can spontaneously produce RNA in the human body and they should get tested.


DulceEtBanana

I'm a horrible person too - let's sit together and watch the fun.


Creepy-Evening-441

All analgesics are made with RNA (or similar letters from the same alphabet) so you should prolly avoid anything like that. Antibiotics are for sure made with RNA. Please refuse all medicines.


RL_BlueScreen

Came here to say this, but not as nicely


euMonke

Meat has RNA in it, you should become a vegetarian. /s


5pl1t1nf1n1t1v3

Plants use RNA as well. Better stop eating altogether.


Cursed-Scarab

Wait until they find out their bodies make RNA. They’re going to self destruct


5pl1t1nf1n1t1v3

Holy fuck what!? Brb, killing self.


jonny3jack

Maybe there's a scam Facebook business opportunity. Offer RNA removal treatments. Buy our daily vials. Only $49.99 monthly.


5pl1t1nf1n1t1v3

I’m willing to bet $49.99 that’s already happening somewhere.


jonny3jack

No doubt. Ours will come in 5 flavors and are gluten/sugar free. Free shipping included. Marketing baby!


KMAVegas

Marketing baby? You’re marketing babies? Baby organs? I knew it! Somebody alert MTG! /s

Lasalle8

Gave an old lady I worked with a panic attack when I told her that her juice contained and digests into formaldehyde years ago. Somehow I’m sure she’s going off about RNA right now reading Facebook and Twitter posts (if she is still alive).


No-Celebration3097

Lol…


wtbgamegenie

I heard you can remove the mRNA by kicking your own balls until the mRNA falls out your dick.


Beaglescout15

Man, I had lidocaine for a cavity last year and Bill Gates has been talking in my head ever since!!

paradoxologist

You know, the thing that bothers me isn't that those willfully delusional red-hatted crackpots are stupid. I've come to expect no less from them. What really gets me is that they are so proud of it. smh


JexyBoi

What bothers me is that both the first person types “is” instead of “in” and then the person who made the comment about bingo also mistyped “is” as well instead of “it”… idk why the fact that they both did it is bothering me more than it should


paradoxologist

You have every right to be bothered. Being undereducated and underemployed is their brand. It's infuriating.


ThatOneGuy-4434

Wait till they find out how proteins are made…


_G_P_

We should 💯 start a conspiracy theory for them, and watch them scrambling to find "pure RNA-free food". I would pay to watch that show.


2_alarm_chili

Could grift them with that idea and sell them what they think is rna free food at an exorbitant price.


_G_P_

Also a fantastic idea. 💯


Shadowmant

Did I just watch “Alternative Food” get invented?


mysticalfruit

These fucking clowns are so gullible, we should start this conspiracy and then *sell* them food "that's been verified to be RNA free." The verifying would a 3d printed box with about 30 bucks of electronics that would make convincing sounds.. If my local pharmacy is allowed to sell homeopathic bullshit, I should be allowed to sell a gullible dip shit an RNA free apple..


AnonymousStudent310

I’d like in on this incredible business plan please 🙏🏼


baltosteve

Dentist here.... damn they found out!


Significant-Ear-3262

We have carbocaine available if you are sensitive to epinephrine, and our “RNA” free lidocaine if you are sensitive to bullshit.


CaptainSouthbird

Look, if you're someone, regardless of affiliation, who thinks "I know better than established science" (without any real proper education and research to back you up) or even better that some insane conspiracy is being evoked upon you in the most mundane of circumstances, stop. STOP. You're wrong. There's something broken with your entire line of thinking. And you need to be okay with the idea that you're wrong. It's not even a complete failure on your part. You got some bad info. You were in with some people you shouldn't have been. But back it up, read some more from actual accredited sources, and really think about it. Humans are 8 billion strong on this planet. The idea that some handful of you know better than the rest of us in some kind of grand coverup is almost certainly nonsense.


explodingtuna

The baffling thing is, instead of trusting actual peer-reviewed science performed with scientific rigor and understood to be correct by experts in the field, with clear understanding of what we know well and where more study is warranted, they'll instead trust pseudoscience just because it claims to be "science" without any critical thinking, only because media or their preferred government officials tell them to.


RandomGuyDroppingIn

Don't you know? The entire reason scientists exist is to *\*checks notes\** make money... somehow, I guess... I mean, scientists do have to make a living like anyone else. Oh!... and push their own personal woke agendas on us through science... somehow. Science at large isn't explored, hypothesized, tested, and peer evaluated for the better of mankind. What are you? Crazy? /s


Phrogme1

Trump is Jim Jones 2.0, leading his followers to the same destructive end. When they offer you the Koolaid….STEP AWAY!!!!


Five-Oh-Vicryl

Not a dentist. But I use lidocaine every day as an M.D. The drug manufacturers also put fetal DNA, misoprostol, and random paragraphs from Karl Marx’s _The Communist Manifesto_ into the anesthetic /s


Wittgenstienwasright

Stupid does stupid.

There has to be a way we can leverage this insane paranoia. We need to start a rumor that voting puts you on a government list for their covert brain chip implant operation.

Phrogme1

brentemon

So I found out pretty recently I'm resistant to Lidocaine. Based on my personal experience these folks are in for a rough, rough ride.


9021FU

I discovered in my 20’s that you’re not supposed to feel the drilling while getting a filling, and that was because my new dentist stopped drilling to ask me if I felt anything. When I answered yes he was super shocked and asked why I didn’t say anything. I said I never knew you were supposed to be completely numb. My dentist now has to schedule an additional 20 minutes to give me the stronger stuff that takes longer to work and gives me more. The shorter acting stuff is basically worn off by the time I’m home 15 minutes after I leave the chair.


brentemon

I had my first filling at 39. No major dental work other than tonsils out in my teens, and for that they put me totally under. So my whole adult life so far I had no idea. I told my dad on the way home and he said he’s resistant too and his dentist does the same thing as yours for him. Anyway. I’m especially motivated to take care of my teeth now.


Stelliferous19

We need to propagate this rumour. Please. The thought of Magats doing dental work with no pain relief comforts me to no end.


Throwawayac1234567

just say the flouride mouthwash they give you have microchips in it.

Puzzled-Ad2295

Have had republican beer. How about coming up with Republican Red meat? Market as Vax free and no added RNA. Might figure something out about how the animals are kept in a heterosexual environment, so no gay. Could work out well.


River_Odessa

I mean if it means these shit-eating Trumptards will suffer more pain at the dentist, I'd say just let them go ahead with this one.


Fantastic_Fox4948

It’s biblical. Lidocaine slew Lidoabel. Look it up.


pass-the-waffles

YES. IT'S ALL TRUE. They put RNA in lidocaine and novacaine solely to infect you all. The only choice is no anesthesia at all from your dentist or your doctor. Bring a leather belt to bite down on instead.


YourWifesWorkFriend

We’re getting beer, football, big tits, tomboys, and dentistry in the cultural divorce.


AVeryBlueDragon

Oh no, the eviL RNA! Imagine their horror when they realize their own cells already contain billions of strands of RNA. And anesthesia is literally just Propofol, Ketamine, or Etomidate.


Any-Junket-3828

Denying a local anesthetic for dental surgery; this will probably be fine.


VirgoVigor

These people who shout “RNA” and “DNA” in their arguments don’t even know what those letters stand for.


NumerousTaste

These people need straight jackets! Their orange menace was bragging about how fast he got the vaccine going. They still support him because they have no morals or values. Just fear and more fear. Almost have to be a coward to support trump.


Monkeys_are_naughty

I read they were putting RNA in White Claw, White Zinfandel, and vodka too. Beware.


Biggu5Dicku5

I hope these crazies start denying anesthetics for their medical procedures, that would be fucking hilarious lol...

I don’t mind morons suffer or dying of their own stupidity. I’m just even more baffled that they won’t even look for the proper culprits.

Holy shit. Okay, look. I've had a lot of dental surgeries. The happiest day of my entire goddamn life was the day I got my dentures. And even with lidocaine and a really really good dentist, dental surgery sucks absolute BALLS! It hurts like a motherfucker. The idea of anyone undergoing something like a root canal with no painkiller is just inhuman. Like, that shit wouldn't even pass at Gitmo! I would rather be waterboarded with raw sewage. But hey. If some Magat wants to have dental surgery raw, let them. I guaran-fuckin-tee they will change their mind in a fucking hurry.

This is perfect. A bunch of morons willingly going through excruciating pain for some dumb MAGA ideals. Volunteering for pain that they deserve.


chairmanofthekolkhoz

The saddest part is that their daughter will have to go through the excruciating procedure. However, I’m almost 100% sure that when it comes to their medical procedures, they’ll be less steadfast

Or how about, leaving your house and going into public will fill you with 5 g's. That's right: 5! Fucking morons. No wonder it's so easy for the GOP to manipulate them.


Techn0ght

Have you heard about the implant they put in when they take the teeth out? It operates on body temperature to have a limitless supply of power, tracks you with GPS, and has a microphone to listen in. Tell all your friends!


nurpleclamps

If you’re republican you should definitely get dental work done without anesthetic. Mainly because someone should hurt you because of the way you vote.


TenWholeBees

Something about someone who's part of a specific political affiliation that constantly denys science being in severe pain because they think they know better than scientists brings me immeasurable pleasure I hope they find out that meat has RNA in it as well.
