So I'm the only one having weird posthumanist body horror type feelings at the concept of being given an instruction manual for your artificial body parts, including the equivalent of a void warranty sticker?
Just me? Cool, cool. Quietly unlocking new phobias over here.

Hello, we are calling about your hip’s extended warranty. Press 1 to be connected to a hipologist and remedy this issue. Press 2 to die. Ending this call will assume option 2. Option 1 is also option 2 but with a slightly longer buffer time. Too late, you are now dead. click

You’re not cool enough, so you need a visit to the hipologist.

Congratulations, you can now outpace Usain Bolt, but you’ll need to open a terminal window to take a shit.

By the time you get to the point when this might become a certainty in your life, you will be so miserable those phobias will be a distant memory.

Not sure if this is always an issue or just during some recovery period but I can see how it would be important not to stress the fragile ligaments and other issues post op until the proper time.

Yeah, the content itself makes perfect sense, I think what got me was the airplane security leaflet pictures. Makes it seem like you pulled your hip from a vaguely disappointing Amazon cardboard box along with a cheap gadget.
