What is the strangest home remedy ever?

We can all relate to The Banshees of Inisherin.  I mean, who hasn’t been given the cold shoulder by a friend for a silly, or even unknown reason? Fortunately, violence is not threatened in most situations. However, we’ve all threatened others with that bizarre home remedy for technology addiction:  

“If you pick up your phone one more time while we’re watching ‘Better Call Saul,’ I’ll shove this index finger up your ass, and give your left ear a brown willy!” 

Perhaps not that exact threat, but some unfollowthroughable [sounds like an Irish word] form of outwardly directed aggression.  Threats would be far easier to follow through on if they’re self-directed. Let’s recap The Banshees of Inisherin.  A man wanting to be left alone to create memorable music, breaks off a friendship.  This friend, however, continues pestering the violinist.  The musician threatens to cut one of his own fingers off each time the undesired friend talks to him.  A man of his word, the violinist soon has a fingerless nub for a left hand. He can no longer play his beloved string instrument, negating the very reason behind ending the friendship. Silly, drunk Irishman!
