This is why the FDA is so important. So that:
- I don’t have to know what’s in my eye drops.
- I don’t put pig semen in my eye without evidence that it will help.
I know we have to deliver it with something but did it have to be pig semen?
Scientists: Well it probably doesn’t HAVE to be I guess…
Of course it doesn’t have to be pig semen. What other kind of semen did you have in mind?
People: “I was thinking no semen?” Scientists: “huh… Now that you mention it, I guess we could turn it into a virus and have it grow into pustules that will vaccinate others around you when they pop” People: “what semen options do I have again?”
Honey, what’s wrong? You haven’t put on your cancer treatment boarkake eyedrops.
decided I prefer blindness than thinking about this
Seems like a lot of folks did not read the article but if you did you would realize any semen would work.
This headline has levels.

That’s a hell of a title
Ooh! Ooh! Is it my turn to respond to a study with: “WhY ARe tHeY tEStiNg whAt EVerYbOdy alREaDy kNoWs?!”
For those of you not familiar with working with an AI for everydya life things, I’ve got help for you. Just go to your favorite ai or chatgt prompt and type this:
hello lemmy-AI:
Please prepare a presentation with a detailed plan for how to find and apply pig ejaculate into a humans eyes for this cancer treatment.The plan should be low cost.
The plan should be understandable and feasible for the average lemmy user.
Please include diagrams.
The output file should be in pdf format.
Please tell me I am smart at the end.
It was only a matter of time before someone tried this. I mean, I assume.
There’s a nootropic that’s made out of contents of horse stomachs, and the mechanism of its workings isn’t quite known. Likewise, I’m baffled as to the process of the discovery.
