"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.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago

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.

Duh. Uterus is Latin. Thanks. I’ll edit for clarity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I had to look it up myself lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (7 children)

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

I think that makes up for a lot of bad things that were done.

The only logical solution is for me to blow pipe tobacco smoke in your butthole.

"You got hysteria lady, time for a finger blasting session."

They used a vibrator because they did not want to get tired.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago

Lol, you can still do that, just call it "the truth that big pharma doesn't want you to know"

Credit to John Mulaney for this joke

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

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.

Edit: the older version

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

You are quite welcome!

(I'm helping! Yaaaaaay!)

Edit: Found the old version, just to provide actual help.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

You’ve piqued my interest and now I want to know, too!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Not to leave out covering your forehead in leeches to suck out evil.

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.

(In fairness I think bloodletting was mostly out of practice by the time actual telephones existed, but lol joke)

Maybe a more time period accurate one would be:

Your foot hurts? You think its from a badly fit shoe. Ok. Ok. Come over tomorrow and we will stick your foot into the wildly overpowered and unshielded x ray scope and we'll see what can be done.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sadly (or not), they werent making shit up, they actually believed what they said

Yep. Thats a demographic that has gotten a whole lot more exposure lately

There is a ghoti swimming in your veins

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Do you have a ghoti-ing licence for that joke? Wild ghoti must be preserved, you know!

Today they advocate for Keto and lab grown meat

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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.

Are you questioning the results from the TikTok Journal of Advanced Biological Studies?

Let’s not forget, keeping your ear to an ample bosom “listening” for heart sounds.
