Hey Alexa, how do I treat a penile degloving injury

[sabik@rants.au]

@cstross Alexa or Athena?

@sabik What is Athena in this context? Not a Greek goddess, I assume?

@cstross Athena from Rule 34

@cstross I don't think you can - degloving requires a skeletal bone to be present in the degloved appendage. You're just thinking of shredding...

@sabik Not fair! I wrote that in 2008! And I tend to forget the details of projects I've moved on from over a decade ago!

[cstross@wandering.shop]

@markdennehy The technical term for that kind of injury *is* degloving—google it if you don't believe me. (Anyway, most mammalian males have a penile bone: humans are just weird in not having a baculum.)

@cstross
@markdennehy I didn't know the term, but I very much am *not* going to Google that, I would like to sleep tonight.

@abstractcode @cstross yup, laughter is the best medicine

[markdennehy@mastodon.ie]

@cstross The entomology of that is the weirdest thing of this entire thing

[woe2you@beige.party]

@markdennehy @cstross That's the wrong term, and it bugs me in a way I can't put into words.

@cstross the cylinder must remain unharmed
