A bit of my intestine is literally sticking out through my (admittedly almost non existent) muscles!
Spoke to a doc on the phone and it seems it isn't really anything to worry about, and it doesn't hurt, but it's pretty weird. I have to see a doctor in person next week and it likely needs a small operation to patch everything back up
I never really knew what hernias were, apparently 25% of men get them at some point
