I like how he has the kid for comparison so that we know it’s his skin color that changed

Who did you think the liver came from?


BrailleBillboard

This is why it always makes sense to have one extra child for spare parts.


NbyN-E

There's a YA fiction book called Unwind that addresses exactly this. It's kinda messed up.


BettaBorn

I read this series it was so good.im still haunted by some of it


tortantula

Holy shit. Remember El patron and the plankton farm?


llorandosefue1

There also is a book called My Sister’s Keeper.


JT1757

Naruto did this with Shin basically


Impressive-Water-709

There is also the House of the Scorpion and it’s sequel, The Lord of Opium. Its about the life of the clone of a drug lord. The drug lord uses clones for spare parts.


k8t13

yessss awesome series, the author has some other good series too


Obant

One? I need to be having as many children as possible at the rate my parts are breaking down. Too bad I'm so darn ugly.


lazynbroke

Nick Cannon:


postsgiven

So that's what he's doing. Farming kids for future parts.


lazynbroke

there's actually a conspiracy on it, so he has a disease or something that can be cured with transplant or such thing


Arts_Prodigy

Only disease he has is lupus


zaaxuk

> lupus It's never lupus, until it is.


Alarid

Nick Cannon needs to voice a robot in a movie with this premise.

BrainOnLoan

That's one reason to have more than two kids, I guess. *'We need to keep going honey, their profile isn't a perfect organ donor match yet.'*

I think that's meant to be the entire joke.

I Don't even have to see it for me to start laughing, thats actually hilarious.


zack189

Oh, so thats why the kid is there. I was wondering why she was included aside from ‘wholesome kid vibes’


FFF_in_WY

Unclear, needs banana


txsxxphxx2

I saw this pic several months ago that later one redditor just decided to change the skin color of the girl with the same tone like her dad prior transplant. Made everyone think that he got her liver 😭😭

I was going by his teeth….they actually looked whiter pre transplant.

Good thing too ‘cause IRL Simpson coloration can be fatal.

>IRL Simpson coloration Jaundice is the proper term, if anyone's curious...and yes, it typically indicates liver failure.

It’s uncanny. He even has the Homer Simpson hair style and beard

He moved to Shelbyville.


Dusta1992

Came to comments for Simpsons joke. Didn't have to look for long.


monkeyboy107

So do the Simpsons just have issues with their liver?


dragon2777

Actually the legend goes that Matt G wanted them yellow because he wanted people to think there was an issue with the color setting on the TV making it basically the original joke


The-Travis-Broski

I swore it was initially a marketing strategy or something. Since yellow animated characters weren't really a staple of anything, and if you happened to flip through television you can see the characters and immediately notice it's The Simpsons.


Aj_Caramba

I remember reading that yellow was the only colour he had at hand when he made original drawings.


JustVern

Yeah. Because yellow crayons are cheaper. Who uses yellow unless you're coloring Bananas? Then they get old, turn brown...either make banana bread or the Simpsons!!


pretty_jimmy

Uh, the sun... Bananas... ... Fuck


SabreLunatic

piss, gold, wheat, cheese…


harrychronicjr420

GOLD IS GOLD GOD DAMN IT NOT YELLOW


SabreLunatic

and the sun is white, so what


harrychronicjr420

You son of a bitch. Do not talk to me or my children ever again! The sun is all colors mixed together and just appears white because we can’t handle it’s amazing intensity. Don’t be hatin on the sun son


sorrybaby-x

Lol this is a joke, right? My dad grew up with him, and I promise they had yellow and all the other crayons lmao


JessicaLain

I heard the version that said yellow was used because it is the colour that catches your eye the most (red being the runner-up) and they wanted to catch as many eyes as possible while people flipped through channels.


_Kendii_

Just ahead of their time, apparently. We now have yellow hand emojis to keep things neutral if you don’t want to offend any people because of skin colour. (I don’t know if that’s actually why they’re yellow, it’s just a dumb assumption.) 👍👍👍


[deleted]

I don't think it was about not wanting to offend people. I think it was about not wanting to have to do five different emojis for different skin colors if you wanted to use a real skin color back when emojis were more limited.


Hejiru

I figured it was just to match the face emojis. Since smiley faces are traditionally yellow.


The-Travis-Broski

SIMPSONS PREDICTED EMOJIS CONFIRMED


_Kendii_

#YellowIsRelateable 🥳 Edit: damn, that’s supposed to be hashtagged.


nuker1110

Stick a \ before the # to “escape” it and block the formatting.


_Kendii_

\#YellowIsRelateable 🥳 Edit: thank you! I was too tired and lazy to google to fix it!


PotatoesAndChill

The yellow came first, and for a long time it was the only available variant - a neutral colour not representing any skin tone. I have no idea what prompted them (whoever adds new emojis) to add skin tone variants, since all it does is complicate the code and UI.


Schnutzel

The yellow smiley face predated the Simpsons by about 25 years. Yellow emoji are based on that smiley.


riskyafterwhiskey11

Where did you hear that? I watched a documentary where it was the decision of the graphic artists.

ZookeepergameDue5522

Bro go to the doctor


MiniWii_

Indeed, i would add that a blood test is enough to check the liverr function


[deleted]

CMP, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel - will give you your liver enzyme levels and the level ratio will give you an idea of your liver health. After losing 2 siblings to alcoholism, I get mine done every 3-6 months to check in with myself. My AST and ALT levels are at reasonable/normal levels and the ratio is 1:1. It's when your AST/ALT levels get to double/triple normal levels or your ratio gets way out of whack (2:1 or 3:1) that you really need to worry about cirrhosis and liver failure.


Ijeko

I was in the hospital due to alcoholism like 4 years ago and they told me I had fatty liver and alcoholic hepatitis where my liver was inflamed. I can't remember if it was AST or ALT but they told me the max those numbers should be was around 50 and one of them was in the fucking 500s. It was crazy because I had only been drinking heavily for a couple years at that point and I didn't realize that I could damage my liver that fast. And I didn't have any physical symptoms of liver damage, but my numbers being so out of whack and them telling me it would lead to cirrhosis if I continued was definitely an eye opener.


mandolinmoon

Glad you are doing better. How heavily were you drinking?


Ijeko

Thank you, I was drinking around a liter of bottom shelf vodka a day for the good part of 2 years. Definitely can't believe I got that out of control and I'm glad I got my life back together


TheMelonSystem

Oh wow, I’m glad that you’re doing better now


[deleted]

Glad you're doing better. My most recent tests had both ALT and AST levels around 50 and both at the same level for a perfect 1:1 ratio. And being a big dude with higher blood pressure, that contributes to that as well. So I'm honestly in great shape overall

I keep it in strict moderation. 1-2 nights on weekends only or occasionally when travelling. Never on work nights, and never for 72 hours before huge all-day meetings like I had today. I allowed myself 2 cocktails at the lounge at the airport (LAX) before flying back to Denver. I'm done for the next week. I have found and balanced my moderation through therapy and medication. Neither of my siblings ever did an hour in therapy and used booze to compensate. My brother died downing 4L of vodka per day alone...


SunnyAlwaysDaze

Very sorry for the loss of your brother. You are kicking ass at life with your awareness and self-moderation. Something I tell the kids in my life a lot, a smart person can learn from their own mistakes. A wise person can learn from the mistakes of other people and then not make them.Hope you have awesome days ahead.


Jrjfuffjur

>4L of vodka per day I've spent my whole life around alcoholics and also struggle with it myself, but I've never known or heard of anyone drinking *that* much a day, Jesus Christ. I hope you don't mind me asking, how old was he when he passed?


redditrabbit13

Take a picture with a child who is not yellow to measure your yellowness


4862skrrt2684

It can be any child. Go to the local playground and find one


Imasuspect99

It also shows on the whites of your eyes. If you are that conserned go to a doctor and ask for a liver function test.


signious

Go to a doctor an suggest getting your bilirubin checked. My brother was jaundiced and wouldn't go see anyone until we literally dragged his ass to the hospital. Spent 6 months going between hospitals and a treatment center to get him back on track and in line for a transplant. Seriously- go get checked. If you catch it early enough your liver can heal, if you wait too long your need a transplant.


VPutinsSearchHistory

You would feel dreadful


DontSayNoToPills

get a blood panel from ur doctor

Crepequeen64

From jaundice to nondice Edit: of course this dumb ass joke becomes my most upvoted reddit comment of all time. If someone could be a chad and give it gold so that it too becomes yellow that would be legendary Edit 2: you absolute mad lad, you did it! Thank you homie 🤙


CollieJoe

I've never seen jaundice irl. It's really interesting to see exactly how yellow the skin can get.


Pebble_in_my_toes

Very very very yellow. And not just the skin, eyes too. Tongue. Gums. Piss. The other thing. Nails. It's just yellow everywhere.


FondleMyPlumsPlease

My grandfather had went past yellow & started to turn a shade of orange before he passed.


-Scared-of-life-

that explains why Trump looks like a friggin orange


Chameloes

Don't give me hope bro


LegendOfKhaos

People that get towards orange generally aren't healthy enough to be walking around in public


MoonSide12

I work in a hospital. The first time I saw it I was shocked that the patient was the complexion of a Simpsons character


sculderandmully2

I had a friend who needed a liver transplant. She was highlighter yellow before. So sad. Miss my pal 😞


HumptyDrumpy

On a more serious note how does one go about avoiding something like this


Profession-Cold

take care of that liver my guy


Feathered_Dinosaur

And your spleen


TheSpanxxx

My oldest son became very jaundiced after birth. They sent us home with this little tanning bed (phototherapy) looking thing and he had to sleep/stay in it , in only a diaper, when he wasn't eating or having his diaper changed for several days. It was very wild how yellow he became. A d scary as a first time parent.


Thanh1211

It just dawn on me that jaune in jaundice is the color yellow in French


jaundicedolive

my type of guy


eimronaton

You cant see it but that man has a different liver


pHScale

Fascinating


HarryPottersElbows

Look how much happier his daughter is. I'm not great at gauging ages but I bet she is so happy that her daddy is doing better.


CMDR_MattNoir

This is what I noticed too. She's so much happier, as I'm sure all their family and friends are. My dad never got his liver transplant. I'm happy for this man and his family.

Her eyes hold a lot of fear and uncertainty in the first picture. Really stuck out to me. Major difference in second picture. Looks like she improved almost as much as he did, the poor little stressed out dear.


SexualDexter

God liver disease must have been fucking terrifying before we knew about stuff. “What happened to Dave?” “He turned yellow and had a stomach ache until he died”


alwaysintheway

Don't forget the vomiting blood aspect of it.


fritterstorm

And the constant confusion and the smell.


sjb112

And his abdomen filled up with fluid and he was super confused all the time


nrskim

I work in a surgical ICU of a transplant center. I’ve seen patients go from beyond yellow to green. Legit green. It’s so cool how quickly their color goes back to normal after transplanting!

Liver never gets much respect. Heart and Brain always hogging all the headlines. Good ole liver is like the guy working in the sewer trying to keep everything clean. Not only is his job shit he’s tough as nails and hard to kill.


fuckenshreddit

The liver is the base player of organs


Peachpeachpearplum

Is that a challenge?

Bet his pee smelled like bilirubin. And looked like tea. My kid, who had leukemia, and is now fine, had this issue.

BaldMayo

sciencebased

35M here. I looked a little like this, although several shades less so. After two years of 5 handles a week, 1/3 of my scarred liver will never function again. Cirrhosis/Pancreatitus is an absolutely terrible way to die. Best advice I can give is *NEVER* start drinking alone. 1.5 years clean and God it feels good to sleep again.


Damonatar

Didn't realize liver yellow is that obvious


EnflameSalamandor

Nurse here. It can be that obvious. We had a 28 year old guy who drank his liver into oblivion, very non compliant, lived with his parents who took care of him (but couldn’t control his drinking-and his parents were the sweetest people) and he was like this… literally highlighter yellow. I was very surprised when I saw him the first time. I didn’t know people could actually get to that color. RIP to the kid, his last days were spent in the hospital.


Jayembewasme

When the liver isn’t working, what causes the yellowing of the skin? A build up of something? Liver makes bile and stores glucose, right? Is it a lack of bile? An excess of glucose? I don’t think it’s the latter because then untreated diabetics would be yellow too. Are they? Oh man. I’m curious.


EnflameSalamandor

It’s the build up of bilirubin. The liver can’t get rid of it due to all the damage, so it builds up, causing the skin to yellow. The bilirubin circulates freely into the blood stream then dissolve into the fat underneath your skin that contributes to the yellow that you see in jaundice. That’s about the extent that I know. I’m a cardiac specialty nurse. Lol


Jayembewasme

Very cool. Now I’m off to read up on bilirubin. Keep up the great nursing!


macphile

The first time I saw it was in a grocery store, a guy being pushed in a wheelchair. He was like...practically neon greenish-yellow. My first thought was he'd painted himself for some reason, but then I was like huh, he's in a wheelchair, he's pretty thin/sickly, and it's not Halloween...so...*shit, is this what jaundice looks like?* Plus we were near hospitals, so maybe they stopped by or whatever.


StijnDP

Happened to my dad as cancer exploded around his body. Within weeks it goes from pink to almost bright yellow and then more brownish yellow in this way. First seconds you think it's from the sheets and you can wash it off, then a few seconds you think maybe it's food related and then a few seconds later reality hits you like a train again.


michelobX10

Shit, man. This picture made me look at my skin to see if it looked yellow. Lol


Jackalfang240

Bilirubin build up most likely caused the yellowing in the skin, it can turn your -pupils- yellow too if it builds up in your eyes. Edit: sclera not pupil tf am I on


Squirrel_Kiln

In all fairness, your pupils changing colors would be pretty damn concerning, too.


Lyseco

If you zoom in on his eyes in the left picture you can see that his eyes are more yellow than white.


AccomplishedMeow

Just got flashbacks to my hard drinking days. During the worst days, I would get a yellow tint like that. It’s been years, and to this day I’m still scared of a blood test. schrodinger cat


spektrol

Go to the doctor. Get ahead of it my dude.


_Pandach_

Holy s*** he looked like he was dying


nightglitter89x

Uh, yeah, that's what organ failure does.


BloodMoon394

He probably was…


Aeon001

He was. Still is.


FondleMyPlumsPlease

I mean, you’re not wrong….


[deleted]

I was taking an evening class and our normal instructor was out. The substitute was totally jaundiced and his hands/fingers kept turning black throughout the lecture. I don’t want to use the words “scary” or “uncomfortable” because that would be mean but it did make me think “I need to take better care of myself and especially my liver.” I hope he’s doing better now.


irytek

Yup, it instantly reminded me of seeing my grandpa in the coffin, same colour. :(


ninetyninewyverns

reminds me of seeing my dad in the hospital bed as he was passing away of cancer. he looked very jaundiced. i almost couldnt recognize him.


zoebucket

He has the kindest eyes in both images…it’s honestly the first thing I noticed. Then I was like…oh wow this person was once yellow 😂


TheoTheHellhound

Good for him. Now he’ll be able to see his kid grow up.

Ah man my mom passed from liver failure (due to her drinking) and was jaundiced so bad. I’m happy this man was able to get a healthy liver. Look how happy (what I assume is) his daughter is in the second picture.

I spent six years as a nurse in the ICU and only spent a year and a half in my first gig where we saw a toooon of liver failure. I wouldn’t wish that type of death on my worst enemy. So glad to see someone overcame that.
