I do not recommend breaking your ribs. It takes fuckn AGES for them to repair. Seriously it's 2026. Isn't there an app?

I didn't crack my ribs but 34 yrs ago I torn the muscles connecting them together. To this day they hurt like hell if I turn too fast and my right side of my body is 5cm lower than the left.
@TheBreadmonkey oof. Years ago SO broke a rib skiing, and my habit when they’re feeling shit is to crack a lot of jokes because laughter is the best medicine and whatnot but it is not the best medicine for a broken rib. SO yelled at me because every time I made them laugh it hurt. So don’t laugh fo a few days and maybe it’ll start feeling better?
@TheBreadmonkey BEN. When did you break your ribs????
@nixanadoo
About 3 weeks ago
@TheBreadmonkey Gentle hugs to you, friend! Is it when you went ass over kettle?
@TheBreadmonkey
Argh
You'll be fine as long as you don't:
Laugh 😂
Sneeze 🤧
Move suddenly 🏃♂️
Breathe 🌬
Easy huh! 🤷
Hope it isn't too bad a break and heals quickly! 
@TheBreadmonkey only hurts when you breathe, move, or poop though.
@TheBreadmonkey i once broke seven ribs at once.
feel better soon.
@TheBreadmonkey
Oh man, that happened to you? I am so sorry!
I saw a post about the McRib being back and did not know it meant this. 😩
@TheBreadmonkey
As a similar recipient of Rib Breaking a few years ago, I agree with this message!
@TheBreadmonkey
Feel better soon, broken ribs suck.
@TheBreadmonkey It’s not fun, is it? As long as you don’t breathe, move, or laugh you’ll be fine. Luckily, on this website the latter is unlikely, so stick around… 😉
@TheBreadmonkey Not to mention, once broken, it's to easy to re-aggravate them. Simple bending over, like to pick up paper off the floor, the wrong way, for example.
@TheBreadmonkey Omg truth. I broke one stupid rib doing a workout (don't ask) and it was far more painful than expected.
Oh it hurts to breathe? SHAME.
JEEZ MAKE THIS A FIRMWARE UPDATE OR SOMETHING.
@TheBreadmonkey Feel for you. I did mine (again) perhaps 6 months back and just last week a bit of cartilage or something has started shifting around once more and makes me queasy each time it does.
@TheBreadmonkey @LoganFive You have to be very careful if they penetrate the dome.
@TheBreadmonkey @LoganFive Boosted without checking context first.
You can never be too careful.
@TheBreadmonkey Closest I've found is a nap, and that still takes forever.
@TheBreadmonkey
Oh bugger. Hope you recover without sneezing.
Agreed. My wrist needed more ops, & still hurts 40y later, but once wrapped in plaster was manageable. Busting my ribs aged me 10y during recovery. I couldn't do anything involving breathing, bending, or lifting, & as for sneezing, dear deity, don't sneeze!😱
