Boy who injected himself with a crushed butterfly mixed with water 'for online challenge' suffered horrific seven-day slow death, it is revealed - with the insect's toxins feared to be the cause of death

The fourteen-year-old boy who died after injecting himself with a crushed butterfly suffered agonising symptoms for seven days before he died, local media reports.

Davi Nunes Moreira, 14, died in hospital in Planalto, Brazil last Thursday after telling staff he had injected a solution made of crushed butterfly into his leg.

Believed to have carried out the dangerous procedure as part of an 'online challenge', Moreira began vomiting and struggled to walk before admitting his mistake.

The youngster was taken into hospital by his father and remained in the Vitória da Conquista general hospital for a week, receiving specialised support, before he died.

Last April, an online influencer from Brazil nearly required amputation after taking part in an ill-advised viral trend for her two million followers.

'Thammy MC' was left unable to walk after standing in a bucket of ice and salt for an online 'dare' that turned her feet black and nearly required the amputation of her toes.

'We spent 15 minutes with our feet on the ice with coarse salt,' she said, recounting the horror.

'When I took my foot out I never felt such pain in my life. Three of my toes had turned black when it came out of the ice bucket.'

Thammy was treated at a clinic where she was told she was at risk of thrombosis, and that she could have developed necrosis had she remained in the ice another minute.

Unable to put any pressure on her feet, she said she now gets around the house by being dragged around in a garden chair by her mother, who pushes her from room to room.

I don't know who else to tell about this but I feel the need to tell someone. For reference I'm a 25 year old guy who hasn't shit himself since he was a kid. Anyway I got up this morning as usual, left the house to go to work and as I was approaching the train I felt the sudden urge to shit. I searched around for a cafe or something with a bathroom I could use but couldn't find anything. It happened in that moment of complete defeat. For a split second I thought I was farting, but no. Naturally I ran home as fast as I could, trying to hold my pants up as much as I could for fear of the shit (diarrhea) dripping further down my legs, and washed up, washed as much off of my butt, pants, thermal underwear, underwear and sweatpants I was wearing under my regular pants to protect myself from this horrible NYC cold. I texted my boss saying I "had a problem at home" and was gonna be about 45 min late. I put all my dirty clothes in a trash bag and will do laundry when I get home tonight.

I kinda need help coming up with an excuse for being late. I don't really know what to say and I do not want to tell them what actually happened.

how bad is your diet if you shit yourself as an adult

im always FRICKING going to bed.

everwy day im' tired. and sleep

I'm so sick and tired of it I want to wake up but I'm tired and go back to sleep!

A Connecticut man who was found not guilty by reason of insanity of killing a victim with a hatchet and eating body parts has been granted conditional release from the state's only maximum-security psychiatric hospital, despite concerns expressed by the victim's family and state lawmakers.

Tyree Smith was ordered confined to Whiting Forensic Hospital for 60 years in 2013 in connection with the killing of Angel Gonzalez, whose mutilated body was found in a vacant apartment in Bridgeport in January 2012 a month after he was hacked to death. Smith's cousin had testified that Smith told her he ate part of Gonzalez's brain and an eyeball while drinking sake.

The state's Psychiatric Security Review Board granted Smith conditional release from the hospital on Friday after hearing from a psychiatrist, who said Smith's schizophrenia and alcohol and drug disorders were in full remission as a result of medication and other treatment.

some people r demanding a recast because theyre cancel happy cute twinks

This subreddit used to be nice, now it's just constant sneeding at nitpicks about anything slightly republican (like the recent soying over the CEO of Proton being a chud).

MISINFORMATION!

ENCRYPTION FIXES THIS!

Literally any company can do this, that's why we need DIVERSITY (the good one) in emergency options. Redditors want to stay as cavemen because a chud made something nice. Currently satellite connectivity (provided by globalstar) requires a special chip + proper positioning + has limited data + is expensive to transfer over. Starlink will allow for LTE speeds anywhere in the world on any device without needing to point your phone towards the sky like an r-slur.

LOL

We finally get ONE rational redditor!

Elon is out to r*pe you. Hide NOW.

I mean it really is his fault. She clearly refused the sacred holy sacrament of the government religion Redditors praise. It's an unforgivable sin and there is no atonement.

Canada, as it turns out, isn't broken. That was the message coming out of Pierre Poilievre's big rebrand rally, where he tried to reposition himself as a champion of Canada's virtues rather than just another critic of its failures. And while Liberal partisans will look skeptically on this attempted political metamorphosis, the biggest doubters might actually be some of his erstwhile fans: the freedom convoy.

Right out of the gate it clearly is a hit piece on Pierre.

Check the social media accounts of any prominent convoy participant, whether it's Tamara Lich, Pat King, or their dedicated transcriptionists in the alt-press, and their sympathy for Donald Trump and antipathy towards Canada becomes immediately apparent. "Your sudden, newfound, fake patriotism is truly indicative of how stupid you think we are," Lich said. "The entitlement of certain Canadians is humorous," fellow organizer Chris Barber wrote. "If we had leadership in Canada who cared about Canadians like Trump cared about Americans … we wouldn't be in this situation."

Yes the !leafs who like freedom want to be part of a country that unarguably has more rights and freedoms.

They insist the real problem isn't Trump's ongoing threats to our sovereignty but Justin Trudeau's continued existence — and, of course, the injustices and affronts that were inflicted upon them by his government. Rupa Subramanya, one of the most sympathetic chroniclers of the convoy's exploits, suggested that "Canadians have bought into the lie by politicians across the board that Trump wants to annex Canada, when what I believe is that he really wants Canadians to get rid of the Liberal government and have greater economic integration and cooperation with the US."

Trudeau drove the country into the shitter. He is why it sucks here. I don't give a frick about Trump and his "threats", "threats" which amount to "We'll make you a full state and give you all full citizenship in the best country on the gods green earth"

That's right: for these folks, public health orders aimed at protecting them and their fellow citizens are a greater threat to their liberty than an American government explicitly threatening their liberty. Policies like vaccine mandates and mask regulations — most of which, it's worth reiterating, were implemented by provincial governments — are worth resisting, apparently, but unjustified economic warfare is best met with submission and docility.

Yes forcing me to wear a mask that doesn't stop the spread (inb4: well you shoulda worn a kn95! No I don't care they were sold out everywhere and tons of the one in circulation were fake!) and get vaxxed to be able to buy food (This was seriously floated and why I finally gave in, well that and being able to work) is and was a massive threat to my freedom.

Getting to be American is the opposite of a threat to my freedom.

In some respects, the convoy's refusal to join the rest of the country in its fight against Trump's repeated provocations isn't all that surprising.

The convoy is over. It ended years ago. This is some g*mergate in current year shit.

What brought them to Ottawa in 2022 wasn't love of their country but hatred of the government in charge of it

No shit r-slur

hich helps explain the very conspicuous presence of American flags, Trump flags, and even Confederate and Nazi flags. It's why they plotted, at least in the beginning, to overthrow that government. And it's why, in a moment where the country they claim to love is being actively threatened with economic and political subjugation, they're rooting for the person doing the threatening.

I'm getting a stars and bars shirt just to piss off this jslu

They're welcome to believe whatever they want, of course. That's one of the virtues of living in a free and democratic society: you can pretend it's a woke dictatorship if that makes you feel better about your life choices.

Guardian gave it 100/100 we can throw that review in garbage can

Author of the review made a whole big butt article where he bitching about cutscene

Any one who played video games know a cutscene is better than an in-game cute scene where you can control your character because those are unskippable.

IGN 7/10 basically the lowest score they could give

So the game ain't that good.

Game probably will be in decent state after like 5 years and 100 paid dlc's

The dust has mostly settled from the manifest changes, so I thought it would be a good time to ask again.

I'm curious if you guys are still using Firef*x? I just threw in the towel. My main issue is degrading performance, it seems like to use the browser i have to close and re-open it every 12 hours or my performance would slow to a Crawl, I also noticed worse RAM usage than with chrome. I'm going to use chrome a bit to see if the ads effect me, I'm going to KMS if I have to switch back.

As someone who hates Trump, I'm having trouble giving a pass to these people. With smart phones, we all have access to the same kinds of information. What is it that makes people think he didnt mean what he said? (42)

They got sucked into that right wing media bubble. Don't underestimate its power. And now Drump is trying to kill PBS, NPR, CBS, and is forcing any non-right wing media out of White House and Pentagon press briefings. Soon there won't be anyone left to report on the real news. ALL news is looking doomed to be right wing. Welcome to authoritarian heck. (9)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

A lot of these comments are pretty mean, and while I think it was dumb of her, I think people have to remember not everyone who voted for trump is a monster. Not everyone who voted for trump is racist, some of them saw how bad things were under Biden and didn't want Kamala and didn't investigate exactly what was going on. We have uninformed voters, but most dangerous of all misinformed voters. We have the media saying crime is on the rise and immigration is a matter of homeland security and neither are true and both parties are running with it. The Democrats are ratcheting right, but they can't out-flank the Republican party. There comes a time when if the Democrats are just doing the same inhuman shit but with a cleaner coat of paint, 1 Democrats are going to stop coming out to vote, 2 more people are going to vote Republican. Democrats keep chasing the idea of stealing votes from the Republican base and all it is doing is shrinking their own. With a world on fire, to a lot of peop... (1)

ima throw a gross generalization here, but... i work in the public sector and deal with a rainbow of people. and an alarming number of these indivs are... dumb. they cannot communicate well; they are slow to comprehend; those factors combined cause them to get frustrated easily. their parents failed them and the system has failed and continue to fail them.i get why trump is president--these poor numbskulls relate to him. it's sad and scary at the same time.edit: i am sorry for saying this in a sub for optimists, but i feel as though irreparable damage has been done to our country. and based on world history, this kinda extreme ideological division will only lead to a geopolitical(?) schism...

So exactly what is your definition of a Republic? As in The People's Republic of China??, I've never heard the terminology Republic of USA... United States of America, United. Being the operative word. That word got lost somewhere.You might as well blame everybody because that's really where things went awry. I really didn't care that he, won this election The country is in horrible shape. Had he lost? Do you think he would have left gracefully and with dignity? Heck? No, it's embarrassing to watch him.Be our leader.. Nobody's united, everybody on the right waits. to see what he wants, and then they all share the same brain,. If you want to call that United they're all in lockstep. Okay, but thru chaos comes order . I don't see him or any of the Democrats looking for order .He has no interest in order as if they're looking for order. We are a supposeed democracy, a government in which the people rule. You don't have to try to teach me anything, I understand I'm not going to lose tra... (1)
