Is it a real thing or a wind up?

Here’s one type of breathing that you could eventually get behind, so to speak—a way to essentially breathe through your butt. It would involve squirting an oxygen-carrying liquid up your butt to then deliver oxygen to your bloodstream and thus your entire body. This could be a valuable alternative way to breathe when your respiratory tract and lungs can’t do the job. This method still needs buttloads of testing, though, before it can be available in clinics and hospitals. But a new publication in the journal Med showed how important progress has been made.​

Clearly the author of the article was having some fun but apparently it's a real thing, and could potentially be life saving in certain circumstances. The rectum has a lot of blood vessels, which enables it to absorb substances such as drugs from suppositories, infusions in enemas or even illicit drugs. It's not been tested on humans yet but in experiments, mice, pigs, and rats were able to absorb oxygen from a perfluorocarbon liquid that was administered rectally.

Fun fact : turtles can breathe through their buttholes, which allows them to hibernate underwater.

I saw the thread title, and thought that butt breathing was just some new fangled phrase today's youth have started using for farting. Reading what it actually is though now is fascinating.
