If you swallow too much at once it overextends the esophagus. This causes it to spasm. That is why it hurts sometimes.

My favourite little bird, the lowly barn swallow. Incredibly social, they gather on the power lines and twitter at each other when a storm is coming. Lightning fast, and voracious mosquito eaters, and they keep their nests incredibly clean, carrying out their droppings from the building.

I love barn swallows.

Jokes on you, I get muscle spasms all the time.

It’s a bolus – a ball-shaped mass of liquid – moving down the throat via peristalsis. The muscles just happened to have formed the liquid into a sphere, liquids cannot be compressed, so the peristaltic muscles are trying to squeeze something that can’t be squeezed. The muscles don’t know that, squeeze anyway, and that pain is the result.

well then someone should fix it since we clearly know the cause and it’s reproducible. we filed this issue like 300,000 years ago and it’s still open, and I’ve seen it on other MAMMALX platforms like cat and dog

So much for intelligent design eh?

Theodicy is the the teological conundrum of how to square God’s omnipotence (can do anything) and omnibenevolence (absolute good) with the existence of evil in the world. A shitton of teologicians and philosophers tried to tackle the problem and usually failed miserably. Personally I never found any explanation to be convincing, until I came up with one and I honestly believe it is the only possible one.

What if God just
 isn’t very clever? He’s doing his best, ok?!

Now, you may ask - if he’s omnipotent, couldn’t he increase his own intelligence? Yes he could. But he’s too stupid to realise that =(

I had a philosophy professor who espoused this view, and I tend to agree.

We don’t write the H there in my native Czech and I’m very hungover today, so I apparently fucked it up twice. Interesting that I did write “theodicy” correctly (I hope)

I sometimes catch myself writing “Kanada” instead of Canada when not paying attention too.

Ah, I was hoping it was more “te” as in “tea” to imply making shit “wisdom” up while looking at the bottom of a cup, or as in the Latin accusative/ablative “you” to imply Truthℱ via argumentum ad populum. đŸ€ȘđŸ€“

I’ve always had it with soda, and I thought I had swallowed in such a way that the CO2 was all trying to fizz out at once. Feels like you’ve stubbed your esophagus.

 reply

Out of curiosity, do you lack the ability to burp?

I used to get that issue with soda and I also used to not be able to burp

There’s actually a real treatment for it now

On the off chance you can’t burp, try looking (or try having your doctor look) into “dysfunction of the belch reflex”

 reply

I can burp. But not during a swallow. Esophagus is half-duplex.

I call it swallowing a square because that’s what it feels like to me.

Me too from this moment on. You’ve described it perfectly.

You mean “cube”?

Expecting that everyone else exists in the third dimension is kinda ableist tbh.

Swallowing a cube doesn’t have quite the same ring to it as swallowing a square though!

There is a certain flow to it, certainly. đŸ€Ł

Usually happens when you are in a rush or are not paying attention. I have that happen to me when I’m rushing out the door and decide to drink a bit of water or a coffee but want to hurry up. Then you lose any amount of time you were trying to save by standing there imagining what they will be writing on your tombstone.

Same feeling I get when I swallow an irregular shaped piece of food or one of those elongated multivitamin pills and the object decides to go down SIDEWAYS. You can feel it getting lodged at the back of your throat and then you feel it slowly painfully sliding down your esophagus as you start imagining who will be attending your funeral and what they will be saying for your eulogy.

This has happened a few times in my life. Feels kinda like when you use a muscle wrong and it starts cramping, just that in this case I somehow swallowed wrong. At least it doesn’t last for very long. Once my leg started cramping while I was half-asleep. Fuck that hurt for what felt like 5 minutes.

 reply

Shit. My first cramp was when I was lying in bed half asleep. My left calf started cramping, but I had no clue what was going on. I was too scared/in pain to attempt to touch it. I just stated in pain for probably 5 minutes but it felt longer. That shit sucked.

Now I can recognize it when it first starts and massage the fuck outta it before it gets really bad.

I have identified certain positions and stretches that are guaranteed to cause a muscle spasms, and try to avoid them.

I have to sleep with my feet over the end of the bed, in an L shape, because if I sleep with my foot extended, I WILL get hit with a screaming cramp out of a deep sleep. No matter how big a bed is, I have to sleep toward the end, so my feet can hang over.

I also have to be careful stretching. Calf muscles are always vulnerable, but it’s easy to pull a muscle along the ribcage that will ache for a week or so.

I’ve cycled from in shape to out of shape and back again several times in my life, but being prone to muscle spasms has been constant throughout all of it.

On October 11, 1991, during a break from rehearsals for The Royal Family, [Redd] Foxx suffered a heart attack on the set.


Foxx did his scripted part of the scene (walking across the back of a chair) while being livid, then immediately fell to the floor. Reese said that nobody initially suspected that anything was wrong, as Foxx was famous for Fred Sanford’s fake heart attacks on Sanford and Son and was particularly skilled at pratfalls. When he did not immediately rise, Reese went to the floor[38] and heard him say “get my wife” twice.[39] Reese called for paramedics.[39] According to Joshua Rich at Entertainment Weekly: “It was an end so ironic that for a brief moment castmates figured Foxx–whose 1970s TV character often faked coronaries–was kidding when he grabbed a chair and fell to the floor."[40]

Any bread product for me. No idea why. 1 sip of water and I’m completely normal, and can keep eating bread no issue. It’s bizarre!

For me there are times where I ”drink too hard”, and it leaves some nasty chest pain. Rare, but I hate when it happens.

Maybe? Or drinking cold water after not eating anything for a long time?

No. It’s this weird thing that sometimes if you swallow badly it really fucking hurts. Water goes to your stomach, there’s no coughing or anything. It just hurts like you swallowed your tonsils or something.
