Even if he did I had my entire ear torn off my head in an accident when I was 13. It's not that big of a deal, it bleeds a lot and you gotta get a plastic surgeon to make it look right when they put it back on.

That little rat bite ain't shit.

Damn bro. What happened?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Amusement park, bunk bed with no top rail, unknown (at the time) inner ear issue and a hard table with stuff on it.

Came home, got in bed, reached to put my Gameboy on a table next to my bed, lost my balance fell off and smacked my head into a table that had hard plastic stuff on it which broke and tore my ear off.

I've also tore off the tip of and partially degloved my pinky.

Bro wtf. How did you deglove your pinky?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Logging, don't do dumb stuff I guess I'm is the lesson.

But for real the amount of blood was like a rough ear piercing and even when I had gauze it was for like two weeks because they want cartilage to breath and be mobile so you don't get crunchy cauliflower ears.

Hand skin isn't nearly as firmly connected by collagen as other parts of the body, it takes a lot less force than you think to separate the layers.

Shrapnel/ splinter from the teleprompter, it appears.

Somebody posted pictures of the teleprompter that were captured after he was hit and there was no sign of damage on them. All we really need is a close up of his ear and it would settle it. I personally think he was hit, the picture of his ear looks like there are two wounds un the upper part. Like a rod piercing or something. But it's hard to tell with the blood.

Hmm, interesting. I casually wonder, but don't really care, what the caliber of bullet was that the gunman used. The only reason to make this distinction is to have an accurate historical record. As I've said elsewhere, we live in an annoyingly stupid timeline.

I think it was .556 your regular old ar-15 caliber
