      Animals like pigs, rodents, turtles, and some fish are known to be capable of butt-chugging oxygen when the need arises.

      I want to see “butt-chugging” in an accepted scientific article now.

      The experiments only injected a non-oxygenated fluid into the participants rectums, just to see if it was safe to do, which it was. Next step will be to actually test how well your butt can breathe the oxyneated gel.

      Anyways, if this works athletes would be able to cheat on a whole new level. Would be awesome if you could inject it into your butt before freediving tho.
