 Date: June 12

Location: Sunoco gas station, 6451 Zebulon Road

Incident type: Self-inflicted gunshot

A Macon man was treated at Coliseum Northside hospital Thursday after he accidentally shot himself in the penis.

The man was parked at the gas station at about 9:30 p.m. when he attempted to holster his .45. Immediately after the gun went off, he drove to a friend's house in Lake Wildwood. When he got to the friends house, he took off his pants and saw that he had "shot himself in the penis and that the bullet exited out of his buttocks."  :pinch:  The spent round fell onto the floor.

The man's friend drove him to Coliseum Northside hospital and he was then transferred to the Medical Center of Central Georgia.

Yes!!!! It's not in Florida! 

Note to self:#1 Keep your Goddamn finger off the trigger while holstering your firearm. #2 Use the safety (if applicable, if not, refer to rule#1)

:|  :pinch:

Not yet, he is still alive.  But it looks like it is not for a lack of trying. :)

Darwin award is for anyone that takes themselves out of the gene pool, I think shooting yourself in the dick counts.

It would. When you get into the semi-autos of .357 SIG to 10mm or larger you're talking beasts. Imagine what a .500 Mag would do.

Many semi-autos are single actions, and many of those have failure modes that can cause accidental fires when carried with a shell in the chamber. That's why I usually carry a double action or mixed double/single action. Years ago the Detroit and other area PD's made a similar switch, purely to prevent accidental fires.

Damage level ? pain level.

A kick to the nads hurts a ton but the injury is almost always moderate. Conversely, you can whack your thigh getting a huge bruise but not notice it until you undress. Soldiers can sustain serious injuries and continue fighting, and athletes 'play through.' Some people just have a high tolerance for pain (me for one.) After a leg amputation I only needed Motrin.

The difference is if the brain chooses to allow the pain to get through to your conciousness. It doesn't always do this. Distraction plays a role, but so can alcohol, drugs, heredity etc. Up to 76% of pain variability is inherited (Young, Lariviere & Belfer, 2012)

    • My comment was intended to be humorous. Since I believe scientists already knew it since, as scientists, they understand relatively.
    • Surprise Execs are dumb. I hope the rehired engineers said were not coming back until we get 2x our salary.
    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI by David Uzondu Ford recently announced that over the last three years, it's had to rehire about 350 "gray beard" engineers to mentor younger staff and reprogram diagnostic systems and AI tools that were failing to meet up to quality expectations. The company's VP of vehicle hardware engineering, Charles **** said that leaders overlooked the deep experience of veterans who survived many product cycles. **** admitted that simply replacing them with AI was a huge mistake, and that while AI is "a fantastic tool," it remains "only as good as the information you use to train it." The rehired engineers now run mandatory meetings to troubleshoot vehicles and reprogram automated engineering software and AI tools to prevent glitches before production. These technical specialists hunt for failure points before parts ever reach the plant floor, helping prevent the massive recalls and defects that previously cost the company billions as it aims to cut one billion dollars in expenses this year. In last year's JD Power Quality Survey, an annual study that measures the quality of a car during the first three months of ownership, Ford finished 10th among mainstream brands and scored below the industry average. But this year, JD Power ranked the automaker as the top mainstream brand, placing it above the likes of Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. Ford attributed this massive improvement directly to the expertise of these returned engineers. Ford's realization that AI cannot magically design and test quality vehicles without senior human oversight is just the tip of the iceberg. When Careerminds looked at companies that conducted AI-driven layoffs, researchers found out that 35.6% of those companies had to rehire more than half of the employees they previously fired. Another 32.7% had to rehire between 25% and 50% of them. In 2024, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna, proudly announced that its new chatbot was doing the work of 700 full-time customer service agents. As a result, the fintech company froze hiring and cut hundreds of positions. But by mid 2025, and into 2026, Klarna was scrambling to recruit human agents again because customer satisfaction had plummeted. It turns out, while AI is very good at answering basic questions like how to check an account balance, when faced with complex customer issues that require nuance, the thing usually resorts to the unhelpful, robotic corporate jargon we all know and love.
    • Free AI in IDEs is shifting to paid models Or you know, you could just learn to actually design and code apps, use frameworks to handle the repetitive parts and not use AI at all - and voila... free for life!
    • In a sane world US antitrust laws wouldn't even allow these companies to be in the position to be subjected to EU directives. As you say, better than oligarch nothing.
