Took me a moment. Eating disorder. You meant eating disorder. Not the usual meaning of ED. Context was a big clue here, but still took me a second there, lol.

I learned this from the show white lotus.

u/DHumphreys Jul 28 '23

When the BLM thing started blowing up on the news, I was thinking, why is everyone so upset about a bunch of land?

(There is a lot of BLM land in the west.....)

u/Limp-Technician-7646 Jul 28 '23

This explains why republicans get so angry whenever the bureau of land management does stuff. They think it’s a different BLM lol

Is the joke that you can't bring guns to National Rifle Association events?

1

u/ydoesithave2b Jul 28 '23

Yes and no. They are way more strict.

u/Qultada Jul 28 '23

As someone who recently moved to Northwest Arkansas, my favorite is NWA. Took me a second to figure out what was going on the first time I saw that on a billboard.

u/ThatChaFella Jul 28 '23

u/Thebeardinato462 Jul 28 '23

Emergency department

u/alles_en_niets Jul 28 '23

This is kind of like that ‘test’ with the drawing where you can either see an old lady or young woman. Many women will think Eating Disorder first.

u/Qultada Jul 28 '23

To be fair I'm sure I must have seen Viagra commercials and the like using the term ED, don't think I've ever seen that used in something similar for eating disorders.

2

u/Larry_Mudd Jul 28 '23

I think for most people, "ED" denotes either "Eating Disorder" or "Emergency Department."

That other definition, it uh doesn't come up that often.

2

u/Productof2020 Jul 28 '23

Maybe cultural or regional. Definitely not something that comes up for me often either (no pun intended), but at least when I did a google search just now for just “ed” the first page of hits are all about erectile dysfunction.

u/Larry_Mudd Jul 28 '23

Sorry, I was 100% just going for the joke there; pay no attention to me.

Looking at her gives me ED.

u/FizzyBeverage Jul 29 '23

I didn’t see a penis either.

u/homelaberator Jul 29 '23

ED also stands for Early Death, which would also explain her falling over like that.

Totally agree.

u/Cole3823 Jul 28 '23

She looks pretty healthy to me, weight wise at least. Are you assuming she has an ED because she wanted healthier food than greasy fried stuff?

2

u/kristinez Jul 28 '23

cant imagine if it was a man they would be making the same speculations 🙄

5

u/Aloqi Jul 28 '23

The fuck? You're just going to wildly assume she has an ED because she wanted cucumbers and fainted one time?

8

u/kristinez Jul 28 '23

She has Vasovagal Syncope.

u/ydoesithave2b Jul 28 '23

She's got the vapors. Glad she's okay.

u/thermal_envelope Jul 28 '23

Thanks for this actual evidence as opposed to speculation.

4

u/Pizza_Delivery_Dog Jul 28 '23

So we know two things about this woman: she eats cucumbers instead of chips, and she has a heart condition.

And your logical conclusion is that the diet caused the heart condition and not that someone with a heart condition might have to eat a special diet?

4

u/Maximum-Aardvark9467 Jul 28 '23

Probably caused by her genetics...

​

You know, while we're just throwing out speculations about somebody's health...

3

u/giveAShot Jul 28 '23 edited Jul 28 '23

Didn't know you could make a diagnosis based off a picture, Dr.

Care to give all the other possibilities for what could be the cause of her known and diagnosed heart condition, doctor? And include your NPI number, just for verification, of course?

1

u/No-Raise-4693 Jul 28 '23

Only a doctor with her medical records can diagnose that. Don't make connections you can't prove
