Vacuum curiosity gone wrong

We’ve all had stupid ideas we want to try out; reality knocks us into our senses, and we back out. But this is not the case for this Redditor. A man under the alias Myideasreallysuck retold this event to the Reddit world.

A little backstory explains that he is lactose intolerant but loves to eat dairy, which inadvertently makes him fart regularly. As he proceeded, the gas was absorbed into the vacuum, alongside the end segment of his large intestine, which hurt like hell. Fortunately, he was rescued by his girlfriend, who came back from work at the right time. Moral of the story: don’t try this at home.
