BRIEFING

Jett here. If you clicked on this article because you're wondering why the U.S. government is tracking pasta, eggs, Legos, shampoo bottles, and assorted household junk being pulled out of American butts every year, congratulations, you're asking the right question, and the answer is a lot darker than the joke. Let’s get into it.

Yes, the “butt list” is real. And no, the U.S. government isn’t personally yanking pasta out of American butts, but it is quietly tracking it, and honestly, that might be just as disturbing. Federal agencies collect emergency room data on foreign objects removed from people’s bodies, and the "butt category" shows up so much, it has its own spreadsheet. ER Docs log the items, researchers study the cases, and the list grows and gets weirder every year. At first it reads like some absurd comedy, the kind of thing you screenshot and send to a friend with a “wtf is wrong with people?” caption. Then it slowly sinks in that this isn’t a prank or a once-in-a-blue-moon thing. It’s routine, documented, and normalized, and that should scare the shit (sorry, pun intended) out of everyone.

And that's why this is the point where the humor starts to curdle. Because a society doesn’t wake up one morning stuffing pasta and eggs up their poop-shoot. These people drift to this dark place slowly... as boundaries blur, embarrassment fades, and the internal voice that used to say “absolutely not” gets quieter. When restraint—or as I like to call it, a "moral compass"—disappears, impulse takes over. And when impulse rules the mind, body, and spirit, anything and everything turns into a testing ground for boredom, sensation, extremism, and emptiness.

You don’t have to be particularly religious to recognize what’s missing here, but you do have to admit that something fundamental has disappeared. For me, as a Christian, that something is God. Others might call it conscience, or a moral compass, or whatever term feels more comfortable. But when that center erodes, behavior doesn’t just become stranger. It gets reckless, degrading, and hollow. At that point, there’s nothing left to step in and argue or moralize. The only people still intervening are ER doctors, armed with a gigantic pair of pliers and a spreadsheet.

Truthfully, the most disturbing part of the “butt list” isn’t what’s on it. It’s that someone, somewhere, lost enough moral responsibility to do this to themselves, and since it happens so often, it now has to be formally tracked.

This is how the “butt list” comes together. The data shows why these cases keep getting logged and offers a sampling of the most bizarre items doctors have had to remove. And if you’re anything like me, by the end you’ll be thinking, we need God. Immediately.

Here’s the thing nobody asked for but a shocking number of us apparently contribute to: the US government keeps a running tally of emergency room visits involving foreign objects. Buried inside that data is a category that never fails to astonish. Items removed from people’s rectums. Yep, really.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission maintains the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, a massive, anonymous database that tracks why Americans show up to the ER. That includes cases where someone arrives sheepish, uncomfortable, and very aware that gravity is not a valid explanation. Every year, doctors log what they find. Every year, the list gets longer.

Medical journals have been documenting the trend for decades. A study in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine estimated nearly 39,000 hospital visits per year related to rectal foreign bodies, with most patients middle-aged and male. More than half involved sex toys. The rest fall into a category best described as “how did this even occur?”

Some of the worst items found in People’s butts
A full shampoo bottle, listed twice, once blamed on boredom
A baseball, documented with the explanation “to see what it felt like”
A corn cob holder
A turkey baster
A wine stopper
A plastic cleanser bottle filled with liquid
Eyeglasses
A rock
Two pencils
A vape pen
A flashlight
A battery-powered light
A film canister
A rectangular travel toothbrush
A dog chew toy
Uncooked pasta
An egg
Marbles
A sandal
A doorknob
Beard clippers wrapped in plastic, cited as constipation relief
A light bulb, inserted glass-side first
A plastic coat hanger, altered so the person could drive to the ER
A corn-cob style pipe
A thermos, discovered during a police body scan

At this point, it’s okay if your reaction is just quiet horror. That list isn’t funny anymore once it sinks in. It feels immoral, disordered, and deeply wrong because it is. Whatever line used to exist between curiosity and self-destruction clearly isn’t holding. But before anyone spirals into pure disbelief, it helps to understand how this even becomes possible in the first place. That’s where the medical side comes in. Doctors see these cases up close and explain what actually happens when people show up like this, why trying to fix it at home makes everything worse, and how often they’re now dealing with situations that used to be rare enough to shock an entire ER.

The medical side of this is sadly necessary, but it’s also purely transactional. Doctors aren’t solving the deep cultural problem we're facing. They’re dealing with the aftermath. They’re the clean-up crew for a society that has already made its bad, dark choices. If you really want to understand why we’re here, the more useful question isn’t how objects get removed. It’s how people ended up putting them there in the first place.

No one articulated that breakdown more clearly than the late great Reverend Billy Graham. Long before spreadsheets, viral butt lists, and emergency room tallies, he warned about what happens when a culture loses its moral center and convinces itself that restraint is outdated and boundaries are optional.

From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham

Morality and traditional values have declined in America over many years because its people have forgotten God. Satan has deceived the hearts of the people—persuading us to disobey God—and join his [Satan’s] tragic train of captives plodding to their doom. This great deceiver has betrayed our culture and convinced leaders in government, media, the universities—and even many churches—that wrong is right. The reality of daily life shows that Biblical morality has little place in the lives of most people. By and large, the secular culture will accept any values, beliefs, and behavior, so long as it is not noticeably Christian.

The Scripture teaches that God hates immorality, but today immorality is glorified and excused while purity is scorned; morality is laughed at and thought to be “old-fashioned.” Secular culture militates against Biblical virtues and, sadly, the church often follows close behind. As principles and values are crushed, even some Christian leaders are charmed by sin’s allure and have fallen from grace. The fact that immorality is rampant throughout the nation doesn’t make it right.

The Apostle Peter warned of this over 2,000 years ago. “Be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). Resist him, the Bible tells us in the following verse, and be steadfast in the faith.

Too many people want to have one foot in the world and one foot in the kingdom of God, and it’s like straddling a fence. It doesn’t bring contentment and it’s certainly not acceptable to Almighty God. When we declare ourselves for God—and obey Him—an inner peace will come.

DEBRIEFING

What makes this story unsettling isn’t the butt list. It’s the worldview that produced it. A society doesn’t end up here overnight, does it? No. It arrives here by slowly tossing away restraint, tradition, and the idea that anything exists above your own personal impulse.

Globalism didn’t just erase borders and markets. It elevated humanism, replacing God, faith, and moral standards with the idea that man is the final authority. Once that shift takes over, boundaries stop mattering. Shame fades, and the body becomes just another random object.

The good news is that societies and people can course correct. Returning to God, faith, and moral clarity isn’t about going backward. It’s about restoring the guardrails that make human dignity a thing. Because without them, the butt lists will just grow longer and weirder.

NOW YOU KNOW

When a society loses its moral backbone, everything else eventually goes up its ass.
