As previously reported, this is perhaps one of the more unusual research developments to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated shortages of ventilators and artificial lungs to assist patients’ breathing and prevent respiratory failure.

It's still fairly new research. I think the authors recently won an Ignoble prize for it

Also maybe helpful for people with traumatic chest injuries that make it difficult, painful, or internally harmful to breathe normally.

If only they had made this research before they made the Abyss, that could have been a more interesting concept..

Never thought I'd see the day where the term "butt breath" wasn't an insult

I can't wait for lungs to become a premium feature! Oh boy! Isn't that great?
Spread your buttcheeks everyone! Let that smog in!

Butt breathing, third form....
When will they cover this in Demon Slayer?

It reverses course and becomes the most foul burp you've ever had

Usually only occurs in young children, but, you can be so constipated that you vomit feces.
Sorry for ruining your day.

I was working in a hospital once when a guy with a severe internal gastric bleed threw up feces and 'coffee ground emesis'
Very gross.
