That is a shotgun shell loaded with allergy medicine. In the US many people reload their own shotgun shells. If you put rock salt instead of lead shot it is less-than-lethal...sorta. Some put in weirder stuff like nails, etc. Americans are funny like that.

Break into my home, you're gonna be crammed full of whatever I think is funny.

🤣 you shoulda seen the look on his face when I blasted gummy bears into his ballsack after he broke into my house.

The Taofledermaus channel on YouTube is a lovesong to that tenet for over 10 years.

just wait till you learn about cannons!

Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

Just jam a tampon in there...

Thank you for explaining this. As a non-USian I had no idea what was going on.

There's multiple youtube channels that are devoted entirely to loading shotguns with weird shit.

And I get innovation is fun and all but I've shot a lot of shotguns, and it almost doesn't matter what you put in it, it will leave a similar sized hole in whatever you shoot it at.

Fun fact, Benadryl is actually a fairly powerful local anesthetic. You can pack it into a wound before applying sutures and it is almost as effective as lidocaine. So basically, shooting someone with a benadryl load is probably a bit counterproductive and might just make angry zombies.

Careful with this info. Diphenhydramine can cause nerve damage if at too high a concentration: 5 parts whatever to 1 part Benadryl is the typical dilution for local anesthetics.

[–] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You say Benadryl, but do you mean one part diphenhydramine, or one part of the crushed tablets at presumed to concentration?

This sounds like over-simplified information that is totally going to get someone in the ER.

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

I feel like if you're in a situation where you need to know how to improvise an anaesthetic for sutures, you probably should be in the ER anyway, but can't get to one.

[–] flightyhobler@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Nah. Hold my beer.

Even though it makes no sense, all I could figure out for this was that they were hiding something valuable in a container of benedryl so burglars wouldn't find it, instead of hiding it in a box of rock salt or a box of nails.

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

It's a shotgun shell. People sometimes load them up with rock salt and nails for home defense, even though bird and buckshot will do the trick.

This person loaded the shell up with benadryl, which will cause hallucinations when taken in higher quantities.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago

I abused it a few times as a teenager, and it was really shitty every time. Someone told me that you can see the air by abusing Welbutrin as well, so naturally I tried that too. You can absolutely see the air, but it also makes you feel like you have a brain tumor.

"Say hello to my little friend!" I scream as I introduce the intruders to the hat man.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 9 points 6 days ago

home intruder has severe allergies.

he says thanks

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

you need quite lot of benadryl to cause deleriant reaction.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You can get a magazine extension for a Benelli M4 that will increase capacity from 5 to 7 (plus one in the chamber.)
