Hilarious Photos Reveal The Surprising Way Babies Are X-Rayed

Sure, babies are cute, but when they have a conniption fit with no built-in off-switch, we may have regrettable imaginations about how to silence them.


So when a meme surfaces featuring babies being compromised (safely), it can be borderline satisfying.

So here's a dose of schadenfreude for you heartless reprobates.

Unless you're a parent, you probably have no idea how a baby is X-rayed.

Ready?

This is how to keep a baby still during what can be a very tedious process.

Rest assured, the infant being contained is still able to breathe thanks to an opening in the cylindrical tube they're shoved into. And their legs have not been removed either.

Here's a better view of those photos.

Few parents had an unfortunate experience and didn't find Twitter's amusement over the photos particularly funny.



Their concern is that the experience is potentially frightening for the child.

However, most of the photos willingly posted by parents on social media present their tykes looking more annoyed than traumatized.



Obviously, the capsules reminiscent of a sci-fi experiment were crafted to keep the babies from squirming, as they often do.

They're called Pigg-O-stat pediatric X-ray immobilization devices and are designed to help radiologists take accurate X-rays and to protect the babies from exposure to the harmful radiation.

One radiologist had to make do with the resources available to devise her own Pigg-O-stat to keep a baby still during an X-ray.


It does look super uncomfortable.




Cue the memes!





An Augustus Gloop reference from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was inevitable. Fortunately, glutttonous children are not punished by being sucked into a tube in real life.


Let this tyke speak for heself.

Regardless if you thought it was funny or mean-spirited, we still couldn't contain ourselves.

Now if they develop ones for adults and MRIs...

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
