disguy_ovaheaThe only logical solution is for me to blow pipe tobacco smoke in your butthole.
tenchiken“your hot wife obviously is suffering from sexy demons. I need to use my specialized equipment to vigorously purge them from her, once each evening, and sometimes just after lunch…”
That sounds far fetched until you remember that they diagnosed women with hysteria and treated them by giving them orgasms. When the vibrator was invented to treat muscle pain much later, doctors latched onto them for treating hysteria to give their hands a break.
I think that makes up for a lot of bad things that were done.
Absolutely. Hystéra is Greek for uterus. Hysteria, or the “roaming uteri” theory was a successor to Plato’s theory of hysterical suffocation. They believed that the uterus could migrate around the body, placing pressure on internal organs. It’s like gynecological fan fiction.
When pregnant that’s a pretty good explanation of what it does though. Uterus just tells everybody up to the diaphragm to get outta the fucking way.
KillingAndKindessGreek, not latin
Duh. Uterus is Latin. Thanks. I’ll edit for clarity.
I had to look it up myself lol
I couldn’t remember the spelling of the Greek word, so I looked it up yesterday for that comment. I searched “Greek word for uterus” and then wrote Latin in the comment like a dingus.
Not only was Plato Greek, but Latin words that end in “us” are pluralized with an “i.” It was all right there mocking me. Lol
Wasn’t at all mocking! It wasn’t even me who caught it. My GF was like “Hmmm, thats too internet-only-fact” and looked it up. Just passing it along cause I sure as shit didn’t know lol
No worries! I didn’t take it as such. I meant the comment itself was mocking me. I knew better.
Oh, yeah, that feeling sure is fun… especially when it catches a hyperfixation wave.
Have you been talking to my therapist? Lol
No we just gone so crazy that you don’t even remember I’m you buddy! Try and remember on Wednesday, it’s embarrassing when we don’t check the mirror on our way out the door, can’t have that happening again.
Not after that Hoffstadtler presentation mishap, no.
You’re fun. I hope you and your girlfriend have a great weekend!
Lol thanks! I feel the same. Enjoy what’s left of your weekend too!
Greek, not latin
I think you responded to the wrong comment
oops. Yup
Is your username a modem interpretation of OMGWTFBBQ?
I’m not sure I’ve seen that one, but it does seem to have the same vibe.
Avicennathat still exists today in Turkey
Well in that case
Merhaba, bugün doktorunuz olacağım. Lütfen eteğinizi kaldırın, iç çamaşırınızı çıkarın ve her zamanki pozisyonu alın.
Can you tell us more? It sounds legitimately interesting.
well your regular small scale religious cult leader being the main point of contact for every health concern (because they set up shop in a very rural area with a lot of religious conservatism and limited health care). People go to them for all sorts of reasons and when you are a female the general answer is you are infested with demons I can help you personally in my bedroom. It is especially ironic when they go to this person because a female cant get pregnant and then voilà!
Gobble gobble
There is a ghoti swimming in your veins
Do you have a ghoti-ing licence for that joke? Wild ghoti must be preserved, you know!
Sadly you could still do this today and charge insurance in the US as long as people don’t care you’re charging their insurance.
Credit to John Mulaney for this joke
This joke has been around a lot longer than he has.
Also, this image is a knockoff of a decade old meme, but made worse by adding a lot more words.
Thank you for your input.
You are quite welcome!
BezzelBobToday they advocate for Keto and lab grown meat
Unless you’re referring to fake meat like impossible burger, what is wrong with lab grown meat? Does the nutritional value change when cells are cloned or something?
Most notably the fact that it grows so quickly by utilizing cancer cells, also that this is the exact same scenario as the cigarette epidemic, no one knows what exactly are the side effects since this has never been done before, were trying to paly god without knowing the implications. Also i find it ironic how most people stay away from preservatives and artificial chemicals because “theyre bad and make in a lab” but will happily down man’s attempt at playing god
Where did you heard that? The only sources I’ve been able to find about lab-grown meat being made out of cancerous cells are tik-tok videos.
All articles I’ve read talk about it being made out of stem cells.
Not calling you a liar, and you have a point that this is something really new and we do not, in fact, know the long term consequences. But I couldn’t find any reliable source to your claim.
And since I know the meat industry will do anything in its power to stop lab-grown meat from being a thing, I wouldn’t trust just “rumors”.
But I guess we should all be a bit skeptical of any claims both for in favor and against.
Flying SquidAre you questioning the results from the TikTok Journal of Advanced Biological Studies?
You won’t find any scientific papers specifically saying cancer because the only papers (in any industry) are the ones that that owner (the company) can profit from. I don’t think I need to go into how every company for the last 100 years have been doing this.
The reason they don’t have to specifically say it’s cancer it’s because of a legal loophole. It’s the same reason delta 8 thc can be sold in gas stations but delta 9 is federaly illegal, or how docs can give out percs, oxys, etc but not heroine
Stem cells aren’t really cells per say, they’re more of a blank canvas that can be turned into whatever cell they want… the issue tho: stem cells are EXPENSIVE. doing some rough math, the average placenta can cost 30-50,000 dollars, which can hold 10-50 million stem cells, an 8-ounce steak roughly contains about 289 million cells. So assuming every since stem cell was successfully turned into meat that would mean an 8oz steak would cost 46,136,100,300,000,000,000 USD. Also this doesn’t take into account growth time. So instead they use cancer cells to try to simulate meat since cancer cells grow 3x faster and with less maintenance, which is saving them an incomprehensible about of money
At the end of the day, it’s the same legal loophole they use to sell delta 8 in gas stations, while delta 9 is on the same level as heroine
send_me_your_mommy_milkersDid you know there were abostos-filtered cigarettes?
“Sir, I want more cancer with my cancerstick pls”

DudeImMacGyver“You got hysteria lady, time for a finger blasting session.”
They used a vibrator because they did not want to get tired.
Sometimes
I’ve never heard that term for an intern.
“Vibrator my boy, can you come in and help this lovely lady?”
Not at first they didn’t, The vibrator was invented because DRs kept getting tired from all the constant finger-blasting.
I mean, yeah, after you got a hysteria lady…
Sadly (or not), they werent making shit up, they actually believed what they said
GladiusBSo do the crazy people
Yep. Thats a demographic that has gotten a whole lot more exposure lately
NightoftheLemmyLet’s not forget, keeping your ear to an ample bosom “listening” for heart sounds.
You’ve got a horrible infection and a fever?
I’ll be right over to slit your veins and let all the bad blood out.
Lol, you can still do that, just call it “the truth that big pharma doesn’t want you to know”
go back in time
give people real medical advice
“wash your hands after working with cadavers”
get drummed out of the profession
die in an asylum
Something about the phrasing “you should do a lot of cocaine about it” really tickles me. I wonder what you call breaking grammar rules for humor like that.
You’ve piqued my interest and now I want to know, too!
